Hi all, I'll organize the LinuxTag Booth this year. LinuxTag, taking place during May 8-10, is different this year - they have partnered with Droidcon and Re:Publica for their event, moved to a new location. Brand new!
I have proposed to do something different than a normal booth, too. I'm involved with KDE, openSUSE and ownCloud so I thought the three could do something cool this year The plan is this: We get an area with a few rows of chairs and a projector. Every hour, we host a 45 minute workshop there. Examples: * testing Linux distro's with openQA * writing an ownCloud App * Building a basic QML Plasma App The schedule will probably be: 10-12 and 13-17, so ~6 talks/day. People get something for participating - nothing big, just a few nice thingies like a USB stick and a bottle of Club Mate On the sides of this area, we have our booths: the traditional table with material and somebody around to ask questions from. All this should of course make 'our' area much more interesting and give opportunities to talk to people. LinuxTag liked the idea, so did the openSUSE board, KDE and ownCloud so they all tasked me with making it happen. Now I need you. I need volunteers who are willing to give a short workshop on an KDE subject. Building a Plasma Next applet is an obvious example, so would be "writing a basic KDE Application" or "QML for newbies". The idea is to mostly give a taste - in 45 minutes you can't do that much. Each volunteer gives one workshop per day, three times in total thus. You'll also be at the booth a bit but we have >6 people for one/two tables so that won't be much either. Plenty of time to enjoy LT and you also get access to the Re:Publica exhibition area! Note that we can take at most 2 volunteers (but if you give a talk you get in anyway). Anybody interested? If really needed, there is some travel budget available from e.V. So, who's in?
