Everyone is requested to contact their own local (and international) communities to attend the conference. 13:03:49 #info The target for attendees is 200, at the moment were at about 50%, with more than half of that being speakers. 13:03:51 #info If we want openSUSE Conference to remain a relevant event for future editions, we need to start getting of our island. 13:03:52 #info it’s not enough to expect only a small handful of people to do all the PR when everyone has their own social media accounts and can echo the newsposts being put out without much effort. 13:04:11 hcderaad: i have some infos for that but i need to confirm something first 13:04:24 Ok, what would you need to confirm? 13:04:39 Can I help with that? 13:04:43 nope :) 13:04:45 just need to wait 13:04:59 Ok, cool. Any hints? Or perhaps timing? 13:05:09 roland is in a call. lets get back to it later :) 13:05:15 But, thanks anyway, all the lhelp is very much appreciated! 13:06:48 I no other input/questions arise I'll continue with the next subject then! 13:07:20 oh diaspora was another thing i wanted to package. thanks for the reminder 13:07:27 Your welcome! :-) 13:08:02 one thing 13:08:19 Please fire away! 13:08:44 it anyone is willing to help with the countdown, please contact me.

" 13:30:48 I'm not sure this is very relevant for openSUSE since we already have yast, apper, etc. 13:31:13 But, nonetheless, we're not necessarily against it so if you enter it into OSEM we will discuss it with the program committee. 13:31:27 mkay 13:31:35 #info The SUSE bus is leaving NUE at 11 a.m. on 04.30.
