Hi Everybody,
I apologize for having messed this up. I absolutely missed the Call for Papers. I would have also missed the Call for Projects, if Ralph didn't say a word. I could argue that the timeframes are too short and complain about everything, but after all it is my fault. And thus, I'll try to clean that mess up.
The FrOSCon deadline for the project registration is 30.05.2009. My personal deadline for that is 27.05.2009 24:00 CEST. So if we want to decide any fundamental stuff, we need to do it quickly.
Has anyone of you (besides Didi) had a chance to submit a Paper in time?
Does anyone want to give a talk/lecture/workshop/whatever? If we can fill half a day I can try to get a devroom where we can do it. I can offer my talk about diskless CentOS with iSCSI and a workshop/demonstration afterwards (about 1 hour).
As I'll need a rough estimate of the number of people, I'd really appreciate if everyone who is willing to help out could tell me as soon as possible. One or two people more or less aren't a big deal, but last year we had one desk and two chairs for about six people...
I'll also ask on the centos-de Mailinglist if there are more people who want to help out.
With the information I currently have I would order two desks, five chairs and a movable wall for posters. We can also have a bar table which we could probably place somewhere in front of our booth. Maybe this is a good idea, what do you think?
A few dumb questions from a first-time project registree to the more expierienced people: Is there an official project description for CentOS? Is the PressKit[1] from the Wiki up-to-date/ok to use? What logo should I use for the registration? Of course, I can just use the standard-logo[2], but that somehow doesn't "feel" right.
Regards, Andreas

Don't worry. If you need help tell me.

Sorry I didn't tell the list.

I would be happy to talk about CentOS or the LDAP talk I gave at Fosdem. I have some time now so if there is something people are interested in give me a shout.

Hmmm. Do we get enough interest for that? I have no idea how many people attend the devroom workshops - has anyone been in one in the last two years?

Well, as I missed Chemnitz and miss Linuxtag, I'm going to be at least there (and yes, I've made sure that I can be there) :)
I'll also ask on the centos-de Mailinglist if there are more people who want to help out.
Do we need that? There seem to be more people attending Froscon than LinuxTag :)

http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2008/live/detail.html?idx=150 has some info, that is with what I got to Linuxtag in 2008.

What doesn't feel right about that?

I haven't ever been in any of the devrooms at FrOSCon. That either means there's not much interest or it is just me...

Great!

Probably not, and I doubt there'll be anyone. However, last year somebody complained we didn't announce FrOSCon on CentOS-de.

Thanks - I'll use that.

Hmm... good question. Feels like stolen from the web. But if it is ok for you, it is ok for me :)

no worries :D more than enough time
Has anyone of you (besides Didi) had a chance to submit a Paper in time?
yes 3, all about CentOS * CentOS Small Enterprise Server : Why it makes sense? * CentOS on the Enterprise Desktop : How and why? * Centos as a kiosk : An overview of the different possibilities
Does anyone want to give a talk/lecture/workshop/whatever? If we can fill half a day I can try to get a devroom where we can do it. I can offer my talk about diskless CentOS with iSCSI and a workshop/demonstration afterwards (about 1 hour).
Ok, but then you would have to point out that I submitted them already and they will be held in the devroom
As I'll need a rough estimate of the number of people, I'd really appreciate if everyone who is willing to help out could tell me as soon as possible. One or two people more or less aren't a big deal, but last year we had one desk and two chairs for about six people...
Under all normal circumstances, I will be present
With the information I currently have I would order two desks, five chairs and a movable wall for posters. We can also have a bar table which we could probably place somewhere in front of our booth. Maybe this is a good idea, what do you think?
I don't know the layout of the ground, but a bar table tends to be easier to talk to people

No. We won't move any officially accepted talks to a devroom. The devroom was only an idea for those people, who missed the Call for Paper's deadline and still want to do a talk.

That's what I thought, too.

Can you add these to the Wiki once they are ready (or even during the creation) ? It would definitely add interesting content for others to reuse. And we could highlight them in the CentOS Newsletter.
Thanks,

Also, I wonder what the cost of doing a Video recording of the presentations might be. And if we might be able to foot that bill. This content would be nice to have online.

Couldn't we just record the presentation using normal digital video equipment and then put it online, I do not own a digital camcorder, but I would suspect as long as you do not want to stream live, it just would be record, convert and put online

thats pretty much what I had in mind, I dont think streaming live has too many advantages for these talks. Having it around that people can refer back to over the next few months/ years however, should be a fantastic resource.

If those are accepted, they are going to be recorded for FrosCon anyway. I am not sure about the rights regarding those presentations.

Last Year my presentation was recorded and put online by FrosCon.

Maybe we can talk to those guys and get them to do it for us.

Currently busy at work and university (thesis and exams), but am working on them in my spare time, and taking notes while doing some implementations, eta for draft versions is begin july I will add them to the FrOSCon page as soon as they are accepted (if they are)
