Hi there, so Sonja just announced in the Status Meeting [1] that we will be at the LinuxTag in Wiesbaden [2]. We will have a booth and a one-day conference called openSUSE Tag [3]. We will have a special IRC meeting next tuesday on that topic. What i wonder now is who will be there and who can do booth dutys. I would love to avoid novell only personal at the booth. Novell is just a small part of the openSUSE project. So if you are at the LinuxTag, or consider to come, speak up now so we can together plan who does what :) Also if you have ideas what we could demo at the booth it would be great. So far we have only general topics (openSUSE, SUSE Linux) we need to fill with real content. So what would you like to see/do at the booth?

I would love to be there (and I'm free at this date) but it's much too far to be practical :-). Count me if there is ever a meeeting on the South of France :-) but the material interset me, as I will have to make a conference on the same subject :-) and as I won't probably be the only one, making a special subject on the wiki should be a great idea (may be on the new community task page). other thread on practical problems jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

As I said in the meeting, I'm available. I life in southern Germany, so getting there wouldn't be a problem. I am also English, but speak reasonably good German if that helps. As a bit of background: I am currently a visiting lecturer at Augsburg Uni (Best Practices in Component Oriented (Re-)Engineering) and work as a freelance consultant. Previously I worked at Capgemini for 15 years, based in the UK and on international assignments and I have done shows in different branches when I was younger (mostly industrial machinery and racking systems). http://en.opensuse.org/User:Davidcwright Regards Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said.

Unfortunatly I can't be there. Now a direct question, what subject concerning openSUSE could you hold a soeech about? Some ideas: openSUSE from a non-employee point of view what is different since openSUSE ... I think it is very important to have non-SUSE speakers to show that it is openSUSE and not SUSE. If no subject can be found, perhaps the introduction of what openSUSE is can be done by a SUSE person and an openSUSE person. e.g. the first introduction "Introduction to the openSUSE project (michl, skh)" can be held by one SUSE and one non-SUSE person. This to show people there is a real difference between SUSE and openSUSE. an example how this might work: Hello, my name is skh and I work for SUSE since .... -Hello, my name is XXX and I do NOT for for SUSE, I am one of the many people behind openSUSE ... [introduction to openSUSE and how it has become what it is, followed by where it can and/or should go] Advantages: It would show people right from the start that this is about the community Guest speaker does not need to find his own subject It is just an idea. It does not exclude other openSUSE speakers to hold speeches on different subjects. e.g. 'maintaining a SUSE repository' or 'my first SUSE' or whatever. So everybody, look at http://en.opensuse.org/Events and see when an event is in your neighbourhood and volonteer to hold a speech. Please put a contactadress on that page at the top as to where openSUSE people can submit their contribution. Now it is just : Novell will be there. Also somebody that is not SUSE behind the desk can be something to be considerd. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
