Hi, As you may be aware (hopefully) oSC13 planning and organization is on the way and we have little time to pull everything together. The conference will take place in Greece in July. While there are numerous tasks that can only be accomplished by local volunteers there are also a plethora of tasks that can be accomplished from afar. One such task is to create a schedule, decide on tracks etc. For this we need volunteers to form the Program Committee. Being part of the committee is independent of attendance, i.e. you may not be able to attend but you can still help make oSC13 a great event. We need at least one person that has experience with Indico or a similar tool that we can use to accept papers. The team needs 5 to 8 people. So far we have the following members on the committee: Stella (differentreality) will lead the team and coordinate with the rest of the oSC13 organization team, Henne, Luiz, Alberto, and myself. Therefore it would be great if we can find 2 or 3 more people willing to help with the progam for oSC13. Everyone signing up is expected to participate in a few meetings to discuss what tracks we should have, timing of call for papers etc. Also everyone on the committee is expected to read all the submitted abstracts. A rough list of tasks we have collected so far can be found here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_todo_list#Program (Note that other oSC13 tasks are being tracked in Trello and the program comittee might also move to Trello if we end up with many more tasks than anticipated) So feel free to jump right in, and respond to this e-mail or send me an e-mail directly if you are interested in helping with the program for oSC13. Note there is no conflict of interest, i.e. you can be on the committee and still submit proposals for a talk/BoF/hands on tutorial.
