Hi,, I just saw the announcement. Thanks for posting it. http://news.opensuse.org/2012/07/18/opensuse-conference-call-for-papers-sti… open/ Do you think it would be good to add a reference or a link to it in the CfP section of the conference wiki? Link: http://conference.opensuse.org/Call-for-papers/ There is no reference to this new deadline.

Ping Pascal (Yaloki) or send an email to admin@ if you don't get a response. Maybe someone there knows the full details. Thanks!

Hi all, Armijn Hemel from Tjaldur Software Governance Solutions is confirmed as keynote speaker. He will talk about defensive publications. His costs are covered by OIN. I just did the very last mile.

The only difference is that the countdown banner has a number superimposed on it that changes daily. Shayon, perhaps you can look at the code that Pascal (yaloki) developed for our past countdowns and see if it can be enhanced to support three banners in sliding door effect? This would be a much more permanent and long-lasting contribution as we'll undoubtedly have many more events to countdown as we continue to grow as a community. E.g., we're not counting down and drawing attention to the Greek openSUSE Camp or COSCUP-openSUSE. That can be remedied with more effective countdown software.

[opensuse-conference] openSUSE Conference (maybe summit as well) blog badges
by Michal Hrusecky 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, as openSUSE Conference is getting closer (and openSUSE Summit even more), it would be nice to have something like "I'm going to FOSDEM"[1] or "I'm going to FUDCON"[2] badge so people can put it on their blogs and promote our conference (or all of them) Anybody wants to create something like that? Both openSUSE specific and generic bootstrapping awesome one will be welcome ;-) [1] http://www.joaquimrocha.com/2012/01/31/hopefully-going-to-fosdem-2012/ [2] http://gentt.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/im-going-to-fudcon-milan-2011/ -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal(a)Hrusecky.net>

[opensuse-conference] Traveling to openSUSE Conference
by Michal Hrusecky 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hi, as I promised yesterday, I have created a wiki page to help organizing shared traveling: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_traveling What is currently known almost for sure is that there is going to be some bus going from Nuremberg to Prague and back. We just need to find somebody in Nuremberg office to organize it. But I would suggest that everybody should start thinking and organizing stuff regarding it. I'll make it known to the people from other conferences so we openSUSE and Gentoo guys can share a car ;-) -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal(a)Hrusecky.net>

[opensuse-conference] status of conference
by Jos Poortvliet 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Agustin proposed to have a IRC meeting about the openSUSE conference & Alan added that it'd be good to do it during a project meeting. So: let's talk about oSC during the next project meeting on Wednesday the 11th of this month at 20:00 on #opensuse-project, see: http://news.opensuse.org/?m=20120711&cat=8 We need to have a good idea of what we need to do for the conference. I'd like to ask everyone involved to update the TODO list: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_todo_list Hugs, Jos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-conference] Current status of openSUSE Conference
by Michal Hrusecky 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

openSUSE Conference status & TODO * we have venue handled by university ** TODO(mine) sign the contract with them and pay them *** Already discussed details with guys who are supposed to sign and pay, need to follow up and make sure that they started talking to the university * hotel is reserved, but we are missing big openSUSE announcement and link on web ** TODO copy & paste stuff from http://www.linuxdays.cz/accomodation/ and http://www.linuxdays.cz/ubytovani/ to conference website ** TODO write an article about that on news.opensuse.org * creating the schedule haven't started yet, will have meeting with university guy and Theo (Gentoo guy) this Thursday about that ** TODO close openSUSE CfP when time is due and write last call for papers article on news.opensuse.org at least week before that ** TODO(mine) sit down with people from other conferences and create schedule, but that's not going to happen sooner than August as CfP is still in progress ** optional TODO - android application *** last year we had android application for openSUSE Conference schedule. Would be nice to adopt it for this year as well * TODO(mine) party(ies) ** there is possibility that we will be allowed to have a party at campus. Would be great but plan was to wait for party university had planed to happen, gather feedback and act accordingly. Will probably know more on Thursday from University guy. ** Theo suggested to do small pre-party on Friday after we finish preparing venue with some of the arriving guys. Thursday meeting is going to happen in close by pub to check the size and possibilities of booking. What is missing in the list? Moving and transporting stuff from Nue to Prague, setting up the Venue which needs to be organized but can wait till September. If you have some comments/feedback/want to pickup any TODO item, let me know ;-) What is still missing is FUTURE MEDIA track, have few e-mails to read about that to catch up with current status. After that I'll write another report ;-) -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal(a)Hrusecky.net>
