I also think we should add a section in the 'Comments' field of the form that says why we think Org-mode should get a devroom (or at least a portion of one). It may be helpful to identify approximately how many users are on the mailing list, downloads/month, as well as note that it is included in Emacs so there may be many more. Whoever fills out the form on the website should probably get this information from Carsten before submitting. > Still we need someone who says "I will organize this". > Who will do that?

I've looked through the website quite a bit, and it is free for all participants. The only additional costs will be hotel accommodations, food, and possibly parking/transportation to get there. It sounds like breakfast and lunch can be purchased on-site, but dinner would be on your own. Perhaps the organizer could find a good place meet for dinner for those who don't have other plans. We need to have the entry form submitted prior to October 16, but the earlier the better is my opinion. On October 23 they announce who was accepted, at which point we should begin formalizing plans for talks, participants, etc. -Richard > > - Carsten > > On Sep 29, 2010, at 6:58 PM, Richard Moreland wrote: > >> Based off of [1], we need the following: devroom name, description, >> and related URLs. =A0For description, they suggest including the room's >> topic, goals and target projects. =A0Something like: >> >> Org-mode is a [some marketing words..]. >> >> The Org-mode devroom will include a collection of talks from its >> author as well as speakers representing various other components of >> Org-mode. =A0In addition, the group will discuss the direction of >> Org-mode, identify additional tools that would be useful to surround >> Org-mode, as well as make a plan for widening its audience and making >> it more accessible to new users. >> >> Some of our proposed talks include: >> - Org-babel >> - GTD with Org-mode >> - Sceintific applications >> - Sharing Org-mode data with other applications (TaskJuggler, ..?) >> - Org-mode on the iPhone, Android and Nokia devices >> - Managing websites with Org-mode (jekyll integration, built-in >> publishing, etc) >> - Power user demonstrations/tip sharing >> - The future of Org-mode >> >> Goals: >> - Expose new and existing Org-mode users to demonstrations/application >> of features they might not have otherwise discovered >> - Identify new applications of Org-mode, help users get started >> using/customizing Org-mode for their domain >> - Collect members from the Org-mode mailing list in a single place for >> the first time >> - Share and refine the direction of Org-mode >> - Identify how contributors can help with Org-mode >> development/documentation/etc. >> - Plan for making Org-mode easier to get started with >> >> Related URLs: >> - http://orgmode.org >> - http://orgmode.org/worg/ >> - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/index.php >> - http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-screencasts/index.php >> - http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/ >> - etc. >> >> I'm not sure what 'target projects' could mean in their suggestion for >> the description. =A0Any ideas? >> >> Hope this helps as a start, feel free to scrap it and start over if >> someone else has a better vision. >> >> [1] http://fosdem.org/2011/call_for_devrooms >> >> -Richard >> >> On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 12:10 PM, Carsten Dominik >> wrote: >>> >>> I do find the number of people indicating an interest to come >>> encouraging. >>> >>> Is there anyone stepping forward to take charge of getting more >>> information >>> about possible costs etc? =A0More importantly: who will write the propo= sal, >>> or >>> at least make a start? >>> >>> - Carsten >>> >>> On Sep 29, 2010, at 1:32 PM, Marcel van der Boom wrote: >>> >>>> On di 28-sep-2010 19:44 >>>> Carsten Dominik wrote: >>>> >>>>> Please reply to this email if you'd consider to come to FOSDEM[1,2], >>>>> February 5 and 6 next year in Brussels, in order to join an Org-mode >>>>> meet-up there. >>>>> >>>>> >>>> >>>> [X] I would come and listen >>>> [ ] I would come and give a talk in the devroom >>>> >>>> marcel >>>> >>>> -- >>>> Marcel van der Boom =A0-- http://hsdev.com/mvdb.vcf >>>> HS-Development BV =A0 =A0-- http://www.hsdev.com >>>> So! web applications -- http://make-it-so.info >>>> Cobra build =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0-- http://cobra.mrblog.nl >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Emacs-orgmode mailing list >>> Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. >>> Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org >>> http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode >>> > > - Carsten > > > >
