Gentoo Miniconf [1], openSUSE Conference [2], LinuxDays [3], SUSE Labs: All of |
| 4 |
those will take place in the Czech Technical University [4] in the beautiful |
| 5 |
city of Prague, 20-21 October (the openSUSE conference will have two extra |
| 6 |
days, 20-23 October). But I’m sure you already know that info, and you are |
| 7 |
planning to book tickets and accommodation soon, so read on! |

Accommodation! |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Hotel Krystal was selected as the conference hotel. It’s situated near the |
| 12 |
conference venue, it can accommodate many people, and it’s easy to find. All |
| 13 |
the information you need is in linuxdays accommodation [5] page. In there you |
| 14 |
will find the prices, reservation instructions, the map of the area and public |
| 15 |
transportation instructions. |

| 17 |
Registration! |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
You can and you should register for attending LinuxDays and other conferences. |
| 20 |
Although registration is optional, it will help us estimate number of people |
| 21 |
coming and will get you some benefits as well. There is only one registration |
| 22 |
for all conferences and you can register for free but there are also other |
| 23 |
registration options that will let you support conferences financially. |
| 24 |
Register NOW! [6] |

Call for Papers |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Just a reminder that Call for Papers for the Gentoo Miniconf is still open! |
| 29 |
I’d like to remind you that the organizing committee would prefer to see more |
| 30 |
workshops than talks, where the crowd can also participate along with the |
| 31 |
speaker. The workshop may require some preparation from the people in order to |
| 32 |
participate, which is something that I can promote, in order to make sure that |
| 33 |
every participant will be ready. Random ideas: |
| 34 |
* Ebuild development / bug triangling: Compile a list of tasks, and start |
| 35 |
solving them with the people (in specific areas, eg KDE, Python, Ruby, Prefix) |
| 36 |
* Present your cool Gentoo based project/application (I know there are plenty |
| 37 |
of users working on awesome stuff out there) |
| 38 |
* Development/bugfixing on a portage tool |
| 39 |
* Development/bugfixing on a Gentoo webapp |
| 40 |
All your ideas are welcome of course. If you are in doubt about the topic, |
| 41 |
feel free to contact me and I’ll help you with my ideas to make your proposal |
| 42 |
sound cool. Submit your proposal NOW! [7] |
