Hi,

I would like to push forward the idea of having a virtual conference. In a similar fashion to what we had some years ago when Daniel Carrera organized a series of talks.

The idea here is to also have a virtual conference but using more available technology. Some OOo members already test it and were impressed with this technology as a great tool to give conferences.

For this matter I would like to propose the following Call for Papers for the event. And see who is interested, I have done a wikipage on what will the conference dynamics will work like and hopefully we could get some engineers interested in giving technical talks.

I made a wikipage explaining the idea:

Some months ago there was a proposal on the NLC list to do something a bit more "expensive" and more public, a bit in the same fashion as Mozilla did with Mozilla24. The idea is the same, but we add two new concepts: video (video cast or video conference) and three or four distributed teams or "studios" covering the global span so that the conference lasts exactly 24 hours. What do you think?

Cheers,

Charles.

Charles I would like to invite you to test this tool and you can have a better experience on how it behaves. My community OOoES already tried it and they even start proposing new uses that could help solve some internal issues regarding communication.

Videocast could be better solution or not, personally I would like to try them both and see which one is better. I could prepare a dummy talk and invite the people that want to try this tool.


It sounds good to me, altough for one big "but": we won't be able to share presentations in ODF. Some people may make fun at us... Besides, that it is a inexpensive solution that requires few resources. Let's see this is as a test to something bigger, a bit like Mozilla24. Let's see if we can attract people through this.

+1 on my side.

Best,
Charles.

Yes I will refuse to use PPT and have the presentation on PDF instead. However, most of the sharing should happen on the OOo Website. Think this more like the backend. I think under this format the presentation should be available at the time the programme is finalized. (week 4 on the wiki).
