[opensuse-project] decisions for the CfP comittee!
Hi all, We need some decisions soon on a few things! Questions: - do we a _separate announcement_ of the conf & 1-2 days later the CfP or all in one? Currently we have two texts: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Announcing_openSUSE_conference_2011 and http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_Planning_2011_CfP I will publish both (we need images from the location and/or a nice logo btw) unless someone is willing to integrate them so we can have one article. Deadline: Sunday. - Theme: the marketeers have to come up with a theme before sunday night or we use what we already have: rwx^3. Robert has made some nice graphics for that already. - Schedule. Cornelius proposed to only schedule talks and workshops and provide a wiki page for the BOF's. It would need a CfP member stepping up however to feel responsible and make sure no conflicts arise. I'm not sure about this whole idea as we might have too many sessions and no quality control this way. How about we get up a list where you can add a BoF you want to do, keep that open until 2 weeks before the conf, schedule then and keep 20% open for AT the conference. So we have quality control, can do something about redundancy but also schedule it smart, for example in topical rooms or so... Decision Deadline: tuesday. The theme and the announcement part have fallbacks for me: if nobody cares, I'll just do whatever I feel like ;-) The schedule I'd rather not decide on my own but if there are no sensible suggestions and opinions until Tuesday I'll make something up :D Cheers, Jos
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? On Friday 06 May 2011 20:21:53 Jos Poortvliet wrote:

About that, robert S mentioned he'd love to have a generic 'openSUSE 101' talk for those not involved right now. For that we need to focus at least a bit at newbies at our conf. Not sure if that is desirable but in any case, the 'Sunday to Wednesday' schedule makes it hard. We'd need at least a Saturday, otherwise an open day doesn't make much sense. So should we do newbie stuff or give up on it?

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. ''Create Community' could work or we could play with some ideas along those lines. Something in German language? The focus on cloud/virtualization, hardware and packaging could generate something. 'real + virtual' ... or newness... 'cutting edge community' ... but RWX^3 works. Regarding newbies, is a whole day required? Sunday afternoon could possibly work. Or what about an evening, that people could go to on the way home from work? Provide light refreshments and a few talks, not finishing too late. cheers, Helen -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Actually I hadn't seen the continuing discussion regarding that before I replied, so just disregard my further suggestions. It's probably best to go with what we have.

We basically did it the same way last year - just a bit more chaotic since nobody know what the process was ;)

We could also have some open slots on the wiki with times (not everybody comes all the time, so let those that propose a BOF, schedule it themselves) - and block every day a few time slots to be filled at the conference. Let's say we open the slots until e.g. 2pm and reserve those in the afternoon... Let's make it easy to schedule a BOF - and I agree, let's reserve some slots for scheduling at the event.

I know. I'll talk to frank tomorrow (or rather today, when you receive this mail). Last time I spoke to him he told me he had little time for it lately due to a busy job. 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.

Thanks Jos, I am no developer, but i believe the potential of what Frank helped create is pretty amazing, and i'd love to see it included in November's opensuse release. Kind regards M On 05/10/11 22:57, Jos Poortvliet wrote:

Well, sounds like a good idea. 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

As we've been discussing the cfp there's been a lot of emails fly by with pieces and parts relating to the conference program schedule that I feel are in danger of being lost. To try to capture those ideas I created a wiki page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_Schedule_2011 What is written on that page is not correct, just captured ideas. It is not intended that this page be used as the conference schedule, simply as a sounding board for the Program and CFP committees. Please record your ideas using this wiki page. We will transfer them to the real program guide later. Alan

I fully agree - there are always some topics that don't come up in advance.
I'd like to propose another, related thing - let me call it a "BOF wishlist" ;-)
My idea is to have a wishlist where people can state "I'd like to know more about XY / discuss FOO / ..." (and a column for "me too" votes) - and with some luck we have someone on the conference who can do a BOF about this topic then. (Maybe this person thought his/her pet topic isn't interesting for someone else and is even happy to talk about it.)
This can be done in the wiki before the conference and also on a whiteboard at the conference.
I can't promise if it works, but it's worth a try ;-)
Well, sounds like a good idea. 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...

Meeeeeee ;-) I was out for a while due to Fosscomm 2011 but now I am back. Let me know what exactly what you want me to do, I prefer to do that by private e-mail though. I even catch up with you on IRC later today.

Well I dont know if this is the exact place but I wanted this to be
bought to notice for the CFP Committee, last year several of us could
not attend openSUSE Conference, is there any possibility that videos
of talks could be recorded or live streamed, off course recorded
videos are better but this would be an awesome thing to do.

Could you add this to the planning page on the wiki, please? I'd love to have video - so, who volunteers of taken, cutting and uploading them?
