[opensuse-project] openSUSE @ Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften Nürnberg
Hey Peepz, again this year we will participate at the "Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften" in Nürnberg at Saturday the 22. Oktober 2011. The LNDW is a science festival that want's to introduce ordinary people to science. Klaas and me will organize the logistics this year and currently we are looking for people to present something. What we present should have at least a touch of computer science and should be comprehensible for laymen. Ideas? The deadline to have a "program" for the marketing material they do is July the 8th. With better ideas we'll be featured more prominently. This pays off greatly with usually more then 25.000 People that attend! So get cracking :) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE. Everybody has a plan, until they get hit. - Mike Tyson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Aren't most of SUSE-employed community members part of the Research&Destroy department? So everything we do counts at least remotely related to Computer Science. Whether it is comprehensible to the outside world is a different matter though :-)

I went to the same event last year in Zurich - I think being cool was more important than being comprehensible. Lots of the "real" science stuff was way beyond laymen, but a lot of it was incredibly cool! -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

It might be interesting to demo how easy it is to write your own plasma applet with Plasmate. I've had Sebas demo it to me and even a complete code noob like me can write a simple applet with that. Quite interesting... Plasmate takes care of all the stuff like installing or sharing (online!) of what you created and can even directly open up and edit any non-c++ applet on kde-apps.org from the graphical download dialog. Comes with build in documentation, live preview of the applet you're writing and all that :D It is a way to demo how we (the FOSS world) want to bring code to everyone and of the advantages of the availability of source code.
