One more thing. Imagine nobody adds to the list on the wiki and we get talks exactly like we ask for (and nothing else): Some areas we are interested in include: *Cloud, virtualization and appliances *(multi) touch screens, new form factors and architectures like ARM *OBS, packaging, Studio, KIWI I'm sure there are more things to talk about... Come on, some threads get hundreds of opinions, now we need some and it is silent?

One thought I did have regarding theme, with the proposed conference location motto being Zentrifuge with 'Creating Communities', a theme that echoes that could be good. I know a few people felt RWX^3 was a bit too geeky.

Some of the others are still on it but yes, it is quiet. I'm sure they can use some help, anyone interested - I know Frank would make time for coaching or any other support.

was there any transcript or slides posted?

Let's make it easy to schedule a BOF - and I agree, let's reserve some slots for scheduling at the event.

As the CfP is supposed to go out tomorrow, how about you create a start of a wiki page with a list of 'BoF's we'd like to see'? We can link to it in the speakers guidelines or something like that :D Moreover, the CfP is in pretty-much-final state on the wiki now but someone who is not traveling all day tomorrow (like me) has to put it on news.o.o and publish it. And it has to be on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Conference - this page has to be updated. Again, I won't be able to do that tomorrow. Indico will need some work, too. Klaas promised to do that part. Who's up for helping out and modifying the Conference portal? Can I count on someone from the news team to publish http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_Planning_2011_CfP tomorrow around 12-14 hours from now? (between 12:00 and 14:00 Tuesday)? Don't let me down, there seems to be plenty of time to discuss the anti- harassment policy while this is actually way more productive and less work... Jos > Regards, > > Christian Boltz
