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?

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 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

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.)

Any reason a phone number and address are required? Good point. I would have submitted already if one would not have to give sensible data there. Would be great to get that not so strict.

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) Yes, there could be a BOF board where people can post their BOFs as they come up.

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.

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
