I think the most important thing for the conference besides venue and time is coming up with a great motto/theme for it.

Last year's motto was "Collaboration across borders" - what shall it be this time?

I would say - keep it. It worked great, it fits us and our culture, why not have this as a recurring theme until we get bored with it?

If you want to add something new to that theme go for the next step "Collaboration across borders and convergence" I feel is the spirit, right?

"Collaboration across borders and convergence"

+1 here, although it is a bit hard for me to pronounce the word convergence ;-)

...

I feel is the spirit, right?

I really like this! Could be an openSUSE motto!

Though -1 here, it is a catchy title for a conference but not for a project, I find it too complicated and I am in love with 'Have Fun' moto

Keep the same one? It doesn't have to change if the one we had was good :-)

TBH if I saw 'Collaboration Across Borders' I'd assume I was looking at an old page and go googling for something up to date. As per the other thread on this topic, what about the suggested rwxrwxrwx - rwx^3 - kinda techy, but why not for something with a bit of a developer focus, and those of us who are less techy enjoy that we know enough to grok the meaning. :) Collaboration is great, but I don't think it's bad for the distribution to look inwards occasionally.

Afaik the latest news on the next openSUSE conference is that AJ and Prusnak are looking for a decent location in resp. Nuremberg and Prague.

As I said during the last project meeting I am giving up on this topic for this year's conference. We asked about possibility to have it in Prague immediately after the last conference, then we tried again in Januray/February but there was never an answer.

With Michl gone, me on parental leave for two months, we really had a bad start - sorry, Pavol.

Now it is IMO too late to try to organize anything in Prague, but if there are any volunteers that would like to investigate anyway, you're welcome.

...

I'm sure Prusnak and AJ would appreciate help, esp if you like in Nuremberg or Prague!

Like I wrote above, don't contact me wrt this topic. Maybe next year :-)

Who are the four people? :-)

I'm willing to step up if the program committee is just the program committee; but if it turns out to be the group of people organizing the whole conference, I don't think I'll do a good job...

Don't be afraid to join. We're trying to spread the fun ;-) We'll keep you to just the program. Alan

Ok, seeing the responses here, looks like people loved the topic from the last conference but like a (small) change. The suggestion to use "Collaboration Across Borders II" doesn't introduce complicated words but differentiates it from the conference in 2010. I'd say let's go with that.

Looks like it is time to start up the Program Committee. 4 people (including myself) have stepped up. Anyone else who thinks he/she should be on there? I would personally appreciate one or two more technical people to step up (besides Pascal).
