Hello Everybody,
I've got a request and information e-mail from FrOSCon. I also included the German original text (see below).
- I need a complete List of everybody from CentOS taking part in FrOSCon. So
please tell me:
- Your full name
- A way for me to contact you
- Whether you're already registered as speaker or helper.
- If you want to stay at Hotel Regina or my apartment
* Full name: Dag Wieërs * Way of contact: IM, email, phone * Registered as a speaker * Will stay at Hotel Regina (already booked one night)
- We need to decide when we so the setup (Friday or Saturday)
I will only come on saturday morning (like last year) since I am returning from Argentina on thursday/friday.
- We need to decide wheter we want an internal meeting
My opinion is that conferences are not a good location to have an internal meeting. We have to man the booth and give presentations, so some people will be left out. If we want to do internal meetings in real life, we should book a weekend somewhere in Europe and get people together dedicated.
- We need to decide what to announce in CentOS-de. Either a "call for
visitors" or a "call for helpers". I guess Ralph is able to decide that, because he is quite active there...
I would do both. Although I think we will already be with plenty of people at the booth, more people will allow people to also attend talks.
Please note: we must not teardown the booth before 18:00 on Sunday
All decisions should be done until August 1st, because we have to inform FrOSCon in time. The detailed planning can, of course, be done afterwards.
Concerning the internal meeting, I think at least Dag and me agreed that it is not a good idea to do things like that during an event. However, we still can do them in the evening (see http://tinyurl.com/6ej3ea). When we decide to do such a meeting and we know how many people will take part, I'll try to find a place that can fulfill our/my requirements.
On Saturday evening there is the social event. But of course people can come together on friday evening to discuss. Or stay longer on sunday evening.
As we should probably write all this down in the Wiki: Could somebody please give me write-access to /Events/FrOSCon2008?
Done.
