Morning replacement candidates
by Sanel Zukan 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hi guys, My flight was unexpectedly canceled today and the next one will be in the morning, which means I will not be able to 'open the sessions' and setup the equipment. I'm hoping to be there around 13:00, unless weather got worse here. Is there any brave candidate willing to jump it and take care for this, until I arrive? Your only job would be to pick up the equipment (projector/camera), set it up in the room and record first two-three sessions. If you are interested, drop me a mail and I will give you more details. Soon if possible, so I can drop your contact details to the admins. Thanks in advance. Sanel

Speaker guidelines
by Sanel Zukan 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Hi, This is a short list of howto for the speakers, so to make things smooth in chaotic place called FOSDEM, please follow them. 1) When you arrive to the campus, grab a booklet or mobile app (https://fosdem.org/2015/schedule/mobile) This will make it easier for you to find the room and also to check other cool content. 2) Wifi and network are most of the time usable, but due huge traffic of geeks, be prepared for some hiccups. If you are planning to use the network for your talk, consider backup in case it goes down. Each devroom has access to wifi; if you need ethernet for some case, ther are couple of places for plug in. 3) Devroom will be equiped with VGA video projector and, as mentioned above, wireless internet. It is expected from the speaker to bring own laptop or presentation device and VGA adapter (if needed). Please test your setup before as these things tends to break when you are on the stage :D 4) All talks will be recorded. Some speakers expressed concern due publicity of their talks and contractual obligations with their employer. If you are feeling the same or have a good reason why the talk should not be recorded, please let me know. However, we would like to have them recorded for FOSDEM archive :) 5) As usual, be at least 15 minutes earlier before your scheduled talk. If you are not planning to lurk around, please stay and give support for fellow speakers - it isn't nice to have presentation in empty room. 6) Food and drinks - there should be couple of places in the campus to buy snacks, sandwiches (and anything else marked as fast food), water and bear. If you would like something different, the campus is surrounded by various restaurants. Hm.. I think I haven't forget anything else. Feel free to drop me a mail in case you have more questions. Best regards, Sanel

Slugs updated
by Sanel Zukan 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hi all, I received couple of complaints how slug update isn't possible in Pentabarf. Looks like this option isn't visible for some users so I updated it manually. Again, _please_ update your full names. The deadline for booklet is approaching and it would not be professional to have only nickname as speaker name. Let me know if you have issues. Best regards, Sanel
