In the meeting we had we decided: - to delay the final decision with max one week - but work with the assumption we're going university - the theme would be "*bootstrapping awesome*", because - we always bootstrap awesome things in openSUSE - we bootstrap the first gentoo summit - we bootstrap the first community-led LinuxExpo - SUSE Labs is all about weird words like 'bootstrapping', 'chrooting' etc - based on that, start the artwork and the CfP - the current CfP volunteers would be (let me know who's wrong): - Vincent Untz - Kostas Koudaras - michal Hrusky - Pavol Rusnak - Theo Chatzimichos - Petr Uzel - Michal Čihař - Alan Clark - Juri - Dinar Please subscribe to cfp+subscribe@opensuse.org NOW.
- Did you all subscribe?
I did.
- can I expect a CfP draft today?
This might be a little more difficult.
- I will email andy for the artwork, give him some ideas that floated around at the meeting. Done, he's on it. We've been going over a few itterations now, I think we've got something to show... Will let him do that :D
- Shayon, could you copy the Summit site over? We will also need a double site, translations in Czech. Shayon did that :D
- We will synchronize the CfP esp on Sat and Sun, basically set the program together. So we need info on their CfP's...
Theo says, that Gentoo is not a problem as their CfP committee is basically him and me. He says that nobody else will be interested in his experience. As for Expo guys, they are not up to speed :-( They now know, they are not getting the name, they have to come with their own. More bellow.
- Michal will collect some nice info about the city and university.
For start, got some photos from my brother we can use: Univerzity: https://picasaweb.google.com/113898425601074911439/FITCVUT?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCN7RlMO21LPeSg&feat=directlink Prague: https://picasaweb.google.com/113898425601074911439/Prague?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCIjIxrvVzuq3BQ&feat=directlink
Timeplan: - We have a final CfP committee, they have to get talkin' about what they want - Sunday Theo talks to Gentoo, hopefully gets an OK. He'll put up a static page with info asap. - Mon/Tue we get final word on if we can use the big rooms in the Uni and how much. Michal?
Didn't get any final word yet, trying to get something out of them every day, always gets postponed to tomorrow :-/ Trying to push them as much as I can.
- Wed the CfP committee gets a draft of the CfP to me Haven't seen anything :D
Me neither, but we can probably start with something, will try to send something by the end of the day :-/
- Wed we have a meeting with the LinuxExpo team to talk about the plan - they need to hurry up securing the LinuxExpo name/URL etc
Didn't happened.
- they need to get at least a static site up and a CfP committee together
No idea how far they are regarding this, but as they don't have a name yet, it's getting complicated :-(
so we can announce at the same time Tuesday April 24 - Thursday website has to be up and CfP draft ready - Friday/Saturday we translate website and CfP - Friday we try to have something final on the location and sign it
Ping :D
Working on some text, will post it soon, but I guess we are falling behind the optimistic schedule.
- Monday April 23 I inform the press about it all - Tuesday 24th of April week we announce the location, site and CfP.
Please, all - look over this - what is missing, can we do this? Can we get "all hands on deck"?
Updates please!
I don't see it happening that fast :-( I don't see them having final
name today, best guess by the end of weekend. Than they would need to
start with web and stuff.
