Hi all! The openSUSE conference is not so far away now. It is really time to start talking about it. So, who's up for writing an article about why people should go there? If you've been to earlier conferences, you know what is good and cool about it. If you haven't been there but want to, I'm sure you also have ideas about it ;-)
Of course you don't have to write alone: I've set up an Etherpad. No surprise there ;-) I've made a start here: http://piratepad.net/wJ2WiNfp7X Now this is not meant to be something perfect or great. It is about just getting a nice, enthousiastic article out on the conference. And make sure it is picked up by LWN and other tech sites ;-) Any contributions are welcome: just go in, add your name on top, say hi in the chat and we can see in the colors what you have done. Anyone who did about 10% or more will be put in as author of the article when I publish it on news.opensuse.org and submit it to other sites. I will not put myself as author in there so that 10% is without whatever I wrote or edited. I will also look at the history - if you wrote a paragraph but it got edited heavily and there's little left of your original text, you're still an important author. Bad english does NOT mean you didn't start that text and put in important content: editing is easy, writing original stuff is hard. So you'll be credited! You can either add things you think are important or matter, or just write such things together into sentences and paragraphs. Don't worry, others and myself will look at it later. I will do the final editing and put it live. Wanna do some writing? Do it here ;-) http://piratepad.net/wJ2WiNfp7X Other ideas on promoting the openSUSE conference are very much welcome. Once we post this article, I will need you all to tweet it, dent it, digg it and such to make sure it gets read by tens of thousands of people :D big hug, Jos
