[gentoo-dev] Gentoo Conference - Call for ideas

[Corey Shields]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1016 bytes --]


Greetings!

We have secured a location and date for a Gentoo developer conference to 
correspond with the timing of LWE in San Francisco.  The date will be Friday, 
August 12th.  Global Netoptex (netoptex.com), one of Gentoo's infrastructure 
sponsors, has offered space in their facility to host the conference.  This 
is only 5 blocks from the Moscone center, making it convenient for people who 
will be in town for LWE that week.

Once available, seating and registration will be limited to the space we have, 
but we are also working on the possibility of webcasting the sessions.

The question I have is what kind of content would you like to see?  This may 
turn into a call for participation later, but right now we are trying to get 
a feel for what topics people would be interested in hearing and talking 
about.

Thanks for your input,

-C

Excellent! I'm hoping to fly my *ss out to the left coast this year to
make LWE: SF.

Things I'd love to hear talks on:
* liveCD/releng process - I have a basic understanding of catalyst, stage building, whatever, but hearind the shpeel from someone involved.
* Portage development - What new features are coming up, maybe details of some of the internals of portage, whatever.

If people want to hear me blab, I could do something on any of the mono
related stuff I work on.

HA!  Lucky for you none of us are on the west coast... ;]

I *might* be able to make it out for LWE:SF, but it is rather doubtful,
since I just bought a house.  Other than myself, only rocket and tgall
are in the USA, and I'm not aware of either of them going to be in
attendance.

We're also working on catalyst 2.0, which should come out right about
that time, which has become a near complete rewrite of catalyst, so lots
of things will have changed.

The usual cool stuff. =)

* Gentoo on tiny (embedded) systems, or as a build-root for them
* Gentoo on huge systems -- big iron, clusters, etc.
* Gentoo on servers -- how to make it work, progress toward stable etc.
* Improving the desktop "experience" -- how, what, when?
* Where is Gentoo going? Where has it been? What have we learned on the way?
* Gentoo-based distributions -- can we work together?
* Jobs doing Gentoo -- where are they, what are they, how do I get one?

That's all I can think of in a couple of minutes.

Thanks,
Donnie

I wish I could, but I don't think I can get that much vacation. My
wedding's also in August, and I'm taking a couple of weeks off for that
and a honeymoon.

Thanks,
Donnie

Well, I guess the pressure got to me.  I just couldn't take it anymore.

I *will* be in attendance at LWE:SF and also will be around for the
Gentoo Conference.

If anyone really wants to hear more about Release Engineering and the
release process, I'll get together a little presentation or something.

Chris:

Good to know you are going to make it, I'll be there too. :)

And yes I think it would be awesome if we had a presentation on the
release process.
