Hi everyone, the sixth Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting (commonly known as FOSDEM, [http://www.fosdem.org/]) will take place during the last week-end (25&26) of February 2006 in the city of Brussels, Belgium. It's an annual 2-day event hosting talks, tutorials, and stalls for the free software/open source community. It is organized by volunteers at the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium. Access to all parts of FOSDEM is free, but donations and sponsors are welcome to help fund the event. As you may have already noticed (because Pascal blogged about it), we will have an openSUSE 'DevRoom' (Developer Room) @ FOSDEM and most likely a booth as well. Therefore, we are in the very early stages of preparation and would like to team up with you to organize the openSUSE @ FOSDEM event. To start off, we would like to get your opinion on what topics, presentation, talks, tutorials, etc. you would expect from openSUSE @ FOSDEM? And if you would like to deliver a presentation, talk, tutorial? The ultimate goal would be to have presentations distributed equally amongst community members and SUSE / Novell employees. Here are some possible topics, that are basis for discussion far: - presentations + openSUSE in general (what happend so far, what's up next) + openSUSE build infrastructure + SUSE Linux 10.1 - highlights and features - dicussion + SUSE Linux 10.2 - dicussion / plans for the future + Usability and Documentation - tutorials + packaging the SUSE-way + using the build infrastructure + LIVE CD construction + Customizing SUSE Linux That's it for the moment, we are all looking forward to a lively discussion and a great collaboration. Have a nice weekend Christoph
