LinuxWorld Expo UK 2008
by Dag Wieers 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi, Someone made me aware of the LinuxWorld Expo UK 2008 which apparently is taking place this year (unlike last year). I noticed there was a website that does say that CentOS has a booth and is present, although it is not on the wiki, nor is there any information about it ? http://www.linuxexpo.org.uk/centos I assume Lance arranged this, but would it be possible to add it to the list on the wiki in the future so things can be planned and executed like with other events ? I have added the event now to the wiki, but we need to make sure we have a proper booth. Since it coincides with T-DOSE I will not be able to go to London, and neither will some other people that already have committed for T-DOSE. So, who from the UK is willing to go to LinuxWorld Expo and can help with the booth ? We also have to look at how we can have some of the flyers, posters and/or stickers to the UK. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

FrOSCon 2008
by Dag Wieers 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

We've had another very succesful event at FrOSCon in Sankt-Augustin, DE. If we can do other events at this pace we might get more women into CentOS in the future :) FroSCOn 2007: 1 girl FroSCOn 2008: 2 girls Maybe we need to make a girl section at the booth next year ? Anyway, thanks to Andreas and Sarah for organising the booth at FrOSCon this year, and also thanks to Ralph for organising the booth at LinuxTag and being present and doing presentations at other conferences. This year we had CentOS stickers, thanks to Marcus. We even have 4 different kinds now ! (not sure how long they will last) Also thanks to everyone that contributed to the booth, next events: LinuxWorld Expo UK in London, UK T-DOSE in Eindhoven, NL If you want to become more involved with CentOS, helping to promote it is one of the options to get in touch. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Dear projects, T-DOSE 2008 is on 25th till 26th of October in Eindhoven at the Fontys University of applied science. See location for more details http://www.t-dose.org/t-dose/location. I want to thank you for being present at our conference. With your help T-DOSE 2008 will be bigger and better then last year. So do not hesitate to announce your presence at T-DOSE on your projects website and tell everybody about this nice conference. Here is information on the stands and speakerslots. Open Source project stands ========================== The entrance opens at 09:00 hrs and close on 18:30 hrs on Saturday and Sunday. Here some details on the stand: - the size of the stand is a normal table - wifi/ethernet access to Internet is available - bring your own ethernet cables - bring your own power cords - wall space is limited so not everybody will have the capability to hang something on a wall, so bring your own 'wall' ;-) if you need one - at the event the projects name will be put on a 'stand' table so you know where you are supposed to be - stands are at the entrance of the building Call For Paper ============== The call for paper has been extended till 30th of September. Possible subjects for talks are: Web 2.0, Desktop, Multimedia, Gaming, Embedded and other good ideas. Speakers can send ideas and abstracts to: abstracts(a)t-dose.org. The e-mail should contain a short biography of the speaker and description of the talk. -- Kind regards, Jean-Paul Saman T-DOSE Foundation | W: www.t-dose.org

FrOSCon 2008 / General Information / List of Participants
by Andreas Rogge 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hello List, i just recieved another Mail from FrOSCon: 1. List of Participants / ID-Cards 2. Hotel 3. Dinner 4. Materials 5. Pre-Meeting, anyone? 1. List of Participants /ID-Cards The list has to be finalized until the end of this week. Unless someone is missing (and tells me until tomorrow) I'll order ID-Cards for: - Marcus Moeller - Andreas Rogge As our speakers get ID-Cards without being listed by me I won't order ID-Cards for: - Ralph Angendendt - Dag Wieers If required I can try to fetch the ID-Cards on Friday so we don't have to wait on Saturday. 2. Hotel The Hotel is open 24 hours a day. The fee has to be paid at the hotel (and not at FrOSCon) 3. Dinner FrOSCon asks wether we're thinking about having dinner at the hotel. There's no true reservation and nothing binds us at all. However, the guys at the hotel need a rough number of people for planning :) 4. Materials FrOSCon also asks what materials we'll bring with us, what size they are and how much power they consume. I know the following (from the wiki): Flyers (just on our table) Posters (how many do we want to use?) Stickers (just on our table) Dag's Notebook (approx. 75 Watts) Ralph's Notebook (approx. 75 Watts) Marcus' Workstation + TFT (approx. 150 Watts) Networking Stuff (< 100 Watts) 5. Pre-Meeting I know I already asked, but as I got no real replies I'll just ask again: Do we want to have a pre-meeting? Maybe at the hotel? I know Dag will arrive on Saturday, so he won't join us on Friday. IIRC Marcus lives near the event site and Ralph doesn't yet know when he'll arrive at the hotel. So this is probably mostly a thing for Marcus and me: Do we want to sit at the hotel, talk and maybe have a beer or two? Depending on when Ralph arrives he could join us or go straightly off to bed :) Regards, Andreas -- Solvention Egermannstr. 6-8 53359 Rheinbach Tel: +49 2226 158179-0 Fax: +49 2226 158179-9 http://www.solvention.de mailto:info@solvention.de

FrOSCon 2008 / menpower shortage
by Andreas Rogge 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

I just noticed that Dag's and Ralph's talks will be both held on Saturday from 16:30 to 17:30. Even though I hope everyone at FrOSCon will attend one of these talks Marcus and me should probably not plan anything during that time.
