what about having an IRC meeting sometime this week to shape the program in real time a bit ? I think it would be pretty good to start the call for papers still in May.
pls find a new draft which Vincent, Michl and me reworked at http://en.opensuse.org/Conference_2010/Call_For_Papers and keep in mind that there is another IRC meeting tomorrow to discuss feedback again, the goal is to issue the CfP still in may.
Your input is appreciated,
Thanks,
Klaas
1. I personally hate date information in a sentence and prefer it more bullet-ized. When: (date) Where: (location) etc.
It is so much easier to locate when you are trying t quickly grab information about when the conference is so you can make plans around it.
That's a good point. Maybe we can have something like:
What: openSUSE Conference When: October XX-YY Where: Nürnberg, Germany Submission deadline: XX Notification of acceptance: YY
at the top or bottom, to summarize everything?
2. Collaboration across Borders
"Borders" typically refer to geography, but in fact can apply to anything. Borders between projects, borders between minds, etc. If you take the time to emphasize that as the theme, rather than leaving it at default assumption of geography, I think you're going to inspire a lot more people to submit for higher glory.
The list of items in the CfP is actually supposed to do that. But we moved it towards the end of the CfP. Would moving it back after the introduction of the motto help?

-- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés.
In accordance with my action item after today's meeting, I have a revised first-draft of the "Collaboration Across Borders" paragraph. I want to tighten and clean it up a bit more, but wanted to go ahead and post it here to let you all see the direction I'm going in and give you an opportunity to call me an idiot. :-) Begin Text: Collaboration Across Borders This year's theme of collaborating across borders highlights the spirit of openSUSE and our goal of working closely with upstream projects and neighbor distributions. Tearing down the borders that separate projects so we can all work together to further the benefits of open source for everyone and strengthen lasting relationships. Below, you will find proposed categories that you may wish to present in, or you may suggest a topic that is not listed.
