[opensuse-conference] BoF sessions
by Jos Poortvliet 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Heya folks, I've been thinking more about the BoF sessions and updated the page. Made the sessions 1 hour long: for a BoF, 30 minutes is often not enough anyway and if you let people schedule mostly-1 hour sessions, you get gaps of 30 minutes which aren't nice. So I just put it at whole hours. I added some comments on top as well and a link to our 'BoF session news article' from last year. I could adapt that article and put it out again, pointing to our BoF page. Does anyone think that that is a bad idea? Any other comments on the BoF page? If not - I'll make them public. We need a link in the schedule to this page, too, Theo or Michal, can either of you add that? http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_BoF_sessions /Jos

How do we deal with someone who wants to be un-subscribed, as in, won't come to the conf? He does want to pay the Eur 50 for support, which is cool, btw... ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: Bootstrapping Awesome Conference Registration Confirmation Date: Thursday 27 September 2012, 22:58:52 From: Andreas K.

Re: [opensuse-conference] Gnome 3.6 party @ Prague
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Stella, Bogo wants to help organizing the party. SInce Friday and Saturday are booked, we can have it on Sunday. I don't know the culture, do they stay late on Sunday? Anyways, try to organize it and add it to https://live.gnome.org/GnomeEvents/ReleaseParties/ThreePointSix It seems only Europe celebrates ;-) Good luck.

[opensuse-conference] survey after oSC
by Jos Poortvliet 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Now you all think - what, we haven't even STARTED on oSC and yes, that is correct. But it is good to have the survey ready before the conference so we can pitch it to people AT the conference and get much more input (and more FRESH input). So, I propose to get a survey up asap... AJ made one for the summit and I already asked him to copy it over for oSC as the needed changes are not so huge. I would ask for these additions: "do you think the FUTURE MEDIA track was an addition to the conference?" 1. Yes, such social issues are very important and it was good 2. Yes, but the content was not good enough. 3. No, it doesn't belong at a FOSS conference 4. No, I don't care about this. 5. What FUTURE MEDIA track? "I joined the conference mostly for: (more choices possible)" X Gentoo X openSUSE X LinuxDays X SUSE Labs X the FUTURE MEDIA track "For the openSUSE folks: do you enjoy having a conference with others or should we 'keep to ourselves'?" 1. Together is good, we can learn from the others and have more fun 2. Together is good for others, what I do just doesn't benefit 3. Together is pointless, it brings no benefit other than maybe marketing 4. Together is bad, it just takes away from the focus on openSUSE Otherwise, of course we have a slightly different schedule and more days which requires some changes. I'm sure AJ will respond with a link to a survey we can use so you can give input on the questions. Hugs, /J

[opensuse-conference] oSC media plan
by Jos Poortvliet 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Heya folks, I've been going over our old todo lists for conferences and such to make a short 'todo' for the openSUSE Conf marketing. Lots of things are done already so I skipped those, just planning for the last 4 weeks. I'd love to hear comments/ideas for things to add and especially "I'll do that's" from all of you ;-) For the artwork stuff, I've already asked the artwork team so that's not on the list. /Jos Tip: the interviews are both important and not too hard to do. Also, we have a few VERY interesting speakers so it's fun to do :D I'd really appreciate help with those! openSUSE Conference Media Action Plan Until two weeks before oSC * do and publish speaker interviews * Write announcement of parties * Other announcements? * Create last "why come" article before conf with all stuff coming linked * Prepare tweets etc for these announcements and articles, use bit.ly links for tracking and spread to ambassadors! * pick hashtag and advertise it (probably #oSC12?) Until 3 days before conference * Plan things to be announced and decided at the conf * pre-write those announcements * Create presskit for conference * Send press kit around and prepare some for journalists at the conf During the event * Write daily reports on oSC * Keep the world updated on what is going on at oSC/LD/etc After the event * Create final report of oSC with links to all announcements etc
