Desktop Summit
Last minute team
Monday before Desktop Summit, I’ve just learned that we (as openSUSE/SUSE) will not have the SuseStudio kiosk.
Too bad, but Wednesday, I finally get confirmation from my customer, that the new hardware will not be delivered before Friday 12th. Ah ah good news. I will be able to go to Berlin. So I bought the last airplane ticket for Friday afternoon, and also the last bed at good price.
I will be a Berliner for a few days! And fill the blanks to maintain our booth up and welcoming
Somethings has to be done? sometimes has been done!
- Setup the booth each morning with goodies

Collaboration across the border
Discussing with Enlightment team [website] to convince them to use OBS and really give it a try, inviting them to join us at OSC11, and try to push them to become our fifth choice’s desktop.
Invite also KolabSystem to join us, and let’s talk about using OBS, and how to have better interaction between us and them
I address here an official thanks to Georg C.F. Greve, Izabele and Co. who kindly stay awake during my last night in Berlin.
Help Izabel Valverde to find a good wifi connection, and quiet place to finish her presentation. Yeap inside the University the wifi really sucks.
Artwork : start to discuss with several people if we can build a real collaboration team about artwork. And try something really new and different for 12.1. Nothing is done yet, but future will tell me if I’m right or not

Wednesday ask nepomuk maintainer to have a look on some bugs hanging around : patches are waiting in git now 😀
