[opensuse-project] Call for Participations: openSUSE Summit 2009
The openSUSE Project is opening the call for participation in the openSUSE Summit 2009[1], to be held September 17 through 20 in Nuremberg, Germany. We're looking for contributors to openSUSE, upstream projects, and members of the openSUSE community to participate[2]. The summit will be an opportunity to bring the openSUSE contributor community together to share ideas, experience, hack, and help guide the direction of the project. So we're looking to members of the community to give presentations, tutorials, and lead birds of a feather and panel sessions in several tracks: * Community: Marketing, translations, wiki, documentation, forums, and openSUSE governance. * Desktop: Topics related to the openSUSE desktop, including KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and applications. * Server: Use of openSUSE on the server or development of server applications. * Toolchain and System: The kernel, YaST, packaging, and openSUSE Build Service. * Open Day: Saturday will include a track for openSUSE users and people new to Linux. If you're interested in presenting at the openSUSE Summit, fill out the Call for Participation Form[3] with all of the details for your participation. We're accepting talks, tutorials, birds of a feather, and panel discussion submissions. (Birds of feather sessions will be scheduled after hours.) The summit will not be entirely composed of prepared presentations, so we will be accepting a limited number of proposals. Deadline ======== All proposals must be submitted by May 20th. To submit a proposal, fill out the form[3] before 12:00 UTC on May 20.

Hi Zonker,
How is the way of creating/submitting 'activities' around the tracks? I would like to see a key-signing party for example. But I'm sure there are other things that do make sense to have. Is it too early to talk about that now? Best wishes, Holgi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

It's not too early to talk about that now. Feel free to send me or other organizers an email and let us know what you're thinking. For the specific idea -- a key-signing party sounds like an excellent Birds of a Feather activity, something that might take place after 18:00 each day. (Planning for BoFs to happen between 18:00 - 20:00) And yes, I think there are plenty of other things that make sense to have. :-) Best, Zonker -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier <jzb@zonker.net> openSUSE Community Manager: http://zonker.opensuse.org Blogs: http://blogs.zdnet.com/community | http://www.dissociatedpress.net Twitter: jzb | Identica: jzb http://identi.ca/group/opensuse/members -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Any reason a phone number and address are required? Will we be able to schedule last-minute BoFs or mini-talks in some hacker rooms? (I'd expect people to discover new topics they'd like to discuss)
Might be nice to send a reminder ;-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Yes. Phone, because I think it'll probably be good to have phone numbers in case conf. organizers are needing to get in touch with speakers right before the conference. Address, because now's a good time to get that information if we need to send anything to the presenters. Generally, I'm pretty conservative about giving out phone/address/email, but we're not going to be spamming anyone or telemarketing anyone for openSUSE.
Yes, of course.

Sure, sure. We're missing a link to a privacy policy, though. FWIW, in my case, I don't care that much since this information is already freely available if you look for it. But this might push back some people... So I'd prefer to have those fields "recommended" next time :-) (no need to fix it now, it's not worth the effort) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Dude ... this is no Novell nor SUSE service - this is going through google. I just found out that someone had some fun adding a weird speech in my name. Thank you very much! pissed, daemon -- You don't need to know! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
