Re: [opensuse-project] Program and CfP comittee - on the topic of program schedule

As we've been discussing the cfp there's been a lot of emails fly by with pieces and parts relating to the conference program schedule that I feel are in danger of being lost. To try to capture those ideas I created a wiki page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_Schedule_2011 What is written on that page is not correct, just captured ideas. It is not intended that this page be used as the conference schedule, simply as a sounding board for the Program and CFP committees. Please record your ideas using this wiki page. We will transfer them to the real program guide later. Alan

Let's make it easy to schedule a BOF - and I agree, let's reserve some slots for scheduling at the event.

I fully agree - there are always some topics that don't come up in advance.

I'd like to propose another, related thing - let me call it a "BOF wishlist" ;-)

My idea is to have a wishlist where people can state "I'd like to know more about XY / discuss FOO / ..." (and a column for "me too" votes) - and with some luck we have someone on the conference who can do a BOF about this topic then. (Maybe this person thought his/her pet topic isn't interesting for someone else and is even happy to talk about it.)

This can be done in the wiki before the conference and also on a whiteboard at the conference.

I can't promise if it works, but it's worth a try ;-)

Well, sounds like a good idea. As the CfP is supposed to go out tomorrow, how about you create a start of a wiki page with a list of 'BoF's we'd like to see'? We can link to it in the speakers guidelines or something like that :D

Moreover, the CfP is in pretty-much-final state on the wiki now but someone who is not traveling all day tomorrow (like me) has to put it on news.o.o and publish it.

And it has to be on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Conference - this page has to be updated. Again, I won't be able to do that tomorrow. Indico will need some work, too. Klaas promised to do that part.

Who's up for helping out and modifying the Conference portal?

Can I count on someone from the news team to publish http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_Planning_2011_CfP tomorrow around

12-14 hours from now? (between 12:00 and 14:00 Tuesday)?

Don't let me down, there seems to be plenty of time to discuss the anti- harassment policy while this is actually way more productive and less work...
