another log to the fire.
I agree with most (if not all) what you say.
The intent of the openSUSE Conference (oSC) is/was to be an inward looking conference.
this do not prevent us from using the fact that many well known openSUSE people are there to make a marketing operation :-) If I keep what you say the OSC have to be (and I agree with it), I think we should : * provide free and reasonably comfortable lodgement for any attendant at first. People should know than finding a Hotel is not an option. * then if we don't have a "public day", we could have only three days (from Friday to sunday morning). Using the monday is a very bad idea. * make the travel expense system more friendly and reactive. Right now somebody have to work like if no reimbursement is possible, because nothing is sure. For example I have not received anything yet. I could afford this this year, but may be not always. This is for basic things. For content, we should have a welcome comity. Nobody should come without being received by some openSUSE member. I come this year thinking to help like I did on Nuremberg 2011, but found nobody to give me tasks... may be there where too many conference (for the attendance number), I couldn't attend as many as I would (=at the same hour). do not think at this as a rant. I perfectly know how difficult the task is, I I'm grateful on OSC-15 team for the good job! I specially appreciated the quality of the video of OSC-15. I couldn't test the stream, the the video are extremely good (and with very good sound) this one conference was specially good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGWvoP5x6GA&list=PL_AMhvchzBaeV36wYqnKb7xWAN0zfDfjz&index=2 and have been seen 677 time until now, a very good number... On the end (just for now :-) I would say that the call for OSC locations should say how many people are awaited, and roughly how many money will be available. We can accommodate anybody in a hostel or find a congress center, not the same work nor the same price :-) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
