[apparmor] openSUSE Summit

[Christian Boltz]

Hello,

maybe you have already heard that the openSUSE Summit will take place 
from September 21-23, 2012 in Orlando Florida.

I was asked if I want to give a workshop about AppArmor, but 
unfortunately the timing is very bad (the summit is in the middle of 
grape harvest, which means I can't go there).

Is one of you interested to visit the summit and do a workshop there?
(See CfP below for details.)

Talks or workshops on other topics are of course also welcome as long 
as they have something to do with Linux and/or match the openSUSE motd
"Have a lot of fun...".

Feel free to forward the CfP to a more broader audience in the Ubuntu
world ;-)

Betreff: [opensuse-announce] openSUSE Summit website up and CfP started!
Datum:   Donnerstag, 29. März 2012

The openSUSE community is happy to announce that starting March 29 the 
openSUSE Summit team will accept session proposals for the openSUSE Summit. 
The openSUSE Summit will take place from September 21-23, 2012 in Orlando 
Florida at the Caribe Royale Hotel. The proposal submission period ends on 
June 15, 2012 at midnight EDT. Final announcement of the program will occur 
on or before July 23, 2012. Starting today our website on 
summmit.opensuse.org is online and ready to inform you about our summit!

The Summit aims to continue the tradition of fun and exciting gatherings for 
openSUSE in the Americas. We will deliver a bi-lingual event with some 
sessions offered in English and some in Spanish. In good openSUSE spirit we 
also want to make this event as welcoming as possible by inviting other 
projects to participate in the Summit.

=Paper submissions=
We hereby invite the openSUSE and wider Free Software community to submit 
session proposals for the openSUSE summit. The openSUSE Summit will have 3 
tracks as outlined below. Presentations, BoF (Birds of a Feather) sessions 
and work shops are expected to align with the track topic.

* openSUSE Community
The openSUSE Community track provides information and discussion around the 
openSUSE community. Topics include but are not limited to Project governance 
and organization, ambassadorship and getting involved.

* openSUSE Tech
The openSUSE Tech track provides information, discussion, and hands on 
experience with the technology that makes openSUSE tick. Topics in this 
track include, but are not limited to the openSUSE development model, 
Packaging workshops, the Open Build Service, KIWI and more.

* open World
The open World track provides a platform to present your project, or listen 
to the interesting things our sponsors want to share. Topics in this track 
may cover demos and HowTos, FOSS project introductions, or other interesting 
topics from areas such as the "Maker movement". This is also the platform 
for cross-community collaboration with upstream or other Linux 
distributions.

=Fun=
The openSUSE Summit, by virtue of being an openSUSE event, has fun high on 
the agenda. Therefore, proposals that are "outside the box" of a "regular" 
software focused conference are encouraged. Collaboratively Building a Giant 
Paper Mache Geeko has already been proposed and rejected due to 
environmental concerns.

=How to submit session proposals=
Submit proposals for the openSUSE Summit using the registration and 
submission website at [1]. If you have not spoken at a previous openSUSE 
event, please create a new account to submit an abstract. The abstract 
submission should contain at least a 200 word description of the topic you 
plan to discuss, as well as a short (~ 50 word) description of yourself.

*Please note:* All openSUSE events are governed by the openSUSE Code of 
Conduct [2]. The speaker guidelines [3] outline requirements for the 
submission of proposals and provide other valuable information for speakers.
