I really want this track to happen. Like Reinhard and Adrian, I'm not sure exactly what is required. Also, I'll be quite busy with videoteam things during the conference, so haven't stepped forward as track coordinator as I'm certain I couldn't do both well. I do think I can be at least somewhat helpful, though. -edrz ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

I'm not sure what "track coordinator" means, but I think I could help a bit. If it's about being session chair, planning talks or stuff like this, I'd be in. Could you please elaborate or point me to some documentation what my tasks would be? I plan to attend DebCamp, so there should also be some on-site time to coordinate the track.

(cc'ing debconf-team here, which is the public place for talks discussion, since this message already went out to another public list, pkg-multimedia-maintainers) Unfortunately, no one has stepped up to act as a coordinator for this track yet. There will still be arts and media presentations at debconf, but they'll be evaluated as independent proposals (not in a track) if no one volunteers to act as track coordinator for the Media and Art track soon. Please let debconf-t...@lists.debian.org know if you want to volunteer (or you can contact ta...@debconf.org privately if you have questions or concerns that you don't want to be public). I'd love to see a concerted focus on debian in art and media at DebConf 10, personally, and i hope that someone will step up!

I'm very interested in having such an multimedia track. However, I'm not sure if I have the required experience to drive such an track. Moreover, I'm already hard at my time limit I can devote to debian tasks, and I'm not sure how much time this task requires, I'd very much prefer to assist rather than to drive such an track all alone. In any case, please keep me in the loop about this efford! -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Coordinating a track on Media and Art and Debian at debconf 10?
Hi IOhannes, Paul, and interested folk on the debian multimedia packaging team, Are you interested in seeing lively discussion at debconf about multimedia and arts and debian? Some of you have already submitted events or talks, and we wanted to know if any of you would be interested in coordinating a track for debconf 10 this summer about the work going on in this area. Tracks are a new idea for debconf as of DC10. A track would thematically group a consecutive set of debconf events (talks, panels, etc) to encourage a better understanding of a broader theme. For this to work, we'd like a knowledgable person about a given theme to act as a track coordinator. A coordinator would have a chance to set the tone and scope for the track, schedule events, assemble panels or debates, introduce speakers, and report back at the end of debconf to the larger gathering. We also hope that a coordinator could identify potential good work being done in their area, encourage people to submit relevant events for debconf, and shepherd talks in their track through the submission process. So, are you interested in coordinating a track on media and art and debian for DC10? Or do you have a suggestion for someone else who might do a good job on it? You can reach me and other members of the talks team privately at ta...@debconf.org, or feel free to contact the whole debconf team (publicly) at debconf-t...@lists.debconf.org. Thanks for considering, and hope to see you all at debconf 10, --dkg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
