Argh, just had a project land in my lap, I have to go visit the customer this afternoon, not sure if I will be back in time for the meeting :-( And there I was looking forward to a quiet May and suddenly 4 different pieces of work come my way! I should know this evening whether I am still available at the beginning of May... -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure. There's some way to stop this.

* Current planning done by SUSE staff Sonja and Christoph reported the current status of the planning. At the moment it looks like we will have some 10-12 SUSE people at LinuxTag, including HR (human resources) folks for people that have questions about employment by Novell (they will be there only on Thursday and Friday). Most of the people will only stay for 2-3 days, Thursday (that's the openSUSE day) will of course be the most crowded one. We are still waiting for budget approval, which is expected for tomorrow. Our program is online at The LinuxTag Homepage. Action Item skh: * Prepare general and HR specific announcement for the wiki/lists (#165281) Action Item Adrian: * Improve the LinuxTag Page in the wiki Action Item every speaker at the openSUSE Tag: * Check that your abstracts and bios are entered and up to date on the LinuxTag homepage * Community participation at the booth Our booth is not in the .org area, but in the "normal" exhibition. Due to our hybrid status of company/open source project. We will have three counters: opensuse.org, SUSE Linux, and enterprise products. We have to man the openSUSE and the SUSE Linux counter completely voluntarily as we can't pay or sponsor anything. Volunteers so far: * David Wright (maybe. And if then only on thursday) * Nix (all days) * cboltz (maybe) * schiele (only on saturday) Action Items cthiel: * Make a booth duty plan (#165288) Action Items skh: * Ask for volunteers in the announcement again * Coordinate volunteers * What will we show at the booth? Beineri noted that we need banners that tell people what we are showing. * BuildService - ?? * cthiel/localhorst have some demos form the 10.1 talk (they include Xen, AppArmor, Xgl, openOffice) * wiki usage - notlocalhorst, Everybody * bugzilla usage - Everybody * The new package manager - Duncan/Stano (maybe) * Desktop features - Bille, Beineri Action Item skh: make a wiki page listing all demos (#165292) Action Item cthiel: Check with the novell booth people for banners * Community participation in the conference We will have the openSUSE Tag on Thursday, May 4. All speakers please update your abstracts and bios. fm volunteered for a talk about the usage on SL in his school project (terminal server/thin clients). We have to call for speakers again on the lists. Henne noted that for the future the planing has to be done on the opensuse mailinglist. Because putting out a nearly finished schedule kills of interests of holding a talk. Action Item skh/adrianS: call for speakers on the list again (#165297) * Social event We want to go out for dinner with all volunteers. Budget ist still unclear. There will be a general LinuxTag social event on Thursday. So we will have the dinner on Friday (if). Action Item skh: Organize budget and dinner (#165303) * Tickets schiele asked if we have a contingent of tickets for the volunteers. Nobody knew. Henne said if we dont he will pay for booth-duty/speaker volunteers. Action Item cthiel: Find out if we have tickets to give away (#165310)
