From speakers at lcabythebay.org.au Thu Jan 7 08:09:27 2016 From: speakers at lcabythebay.org.au (Kathy Reid - Speaker Liaison, linux.conf.au 2016 Geelong - LCA By the Bay) Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2016 08:09:27 +1100 Subject: [Miniconfs] How would we like the Miniconf Schedules published? Message-ID: <568D8287.7030103@lcabythebay.org.au> Ahoy, awesome Miniconf Organisers! We're 23 days out from #lca2016! Woohoo! What I'd like to seek your views on today is the best way to publish the Miniconf Schedules. We have some options; 1. The main conference schedule for Monday and Tuesday at https://linux.conf.au/programme/schedule/monday?_code=301 and https://linux.conf.au/programme/schedule/tuesday?_code=301 can be populated with the actual talks. This is very time consuming, and doesn't provide a lot of flexibility if talks change. It's not a preferred option. 2. We leave the main conference schedule as is, but in the links to your Miniconf, I update the abstract to include a link to your Schedule, PLUS we have a Wiki page which holds the Miniconf CfPs and Schedule - https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Miniconf_CFPs I think from a flexibility point of view, Option #2 is probably the best. Would this work for everyone?

Quickly being able to edit is good. A large part of Kernel miniconf is going to be unconference, so keeping something up to date will be on-the-day kind of thing. -- Stewart Smith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I agree that option 1 is awkward. I'd be happy with something like option 2. Generally I would be putting a schedule up on the miniconf's own website, and I would prefer to not have to keep more than one copy of the schedule up to date. In this case the wiki could just contain links out to the miniconf website for Multimedia and Music. Once the miniconf has been run I could always copy the final schedule into the wiki for prosperity. So yes, something like option 2 would work for me. jonathan From jessica at itgrrl.com Thu Jan 7 15:11:17 2016 From: jessica at itgrrl.com (Jessica _) Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2016 15:11:17 +1100 Subject: [Miniconfs] How would we like the Miniconf Schedules published?

We have some options; In addition to human-readable formats, I recommend that the schedule be made available as an iCalendar (.ics) feed or similar to allow conference-goers to sync the live/current version of the schedule to their device of choice. If possible, it's also very handy for printed versions of each day's schedule to be available from the registration/info desk at the start of each day. At previous LCAs I've manually munged the online schedule into a printable/portable version and distributed it, but it would be good if this could be done by the org team. Sometimes paper is the most convenient technology. :-) Cheers, Jessica -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Putting the Miniconf schedules into the main conference Schedule will be a fair amount of work, especially as we will need to keep them maintained in several places. Let me touch base with one of our Core Team and see if he's comfortable taking on this work. If not, the fallback position will need to be that the Miniconfs are recorded as "Miniconf name - morning", "Miniconf name - after lunch", "Miniconf name - afternoon" - ie as per what's on the current Conference Schedule.

The Conference is SOLD OUT_ We have hit hard limits in terms of venue capacity. We are doing what we can to make more tickets available, but at this stage we may not be able to take any more registrations unless you have Voucher Codes. If you have attendees or Speakers who haven't Registered yet, please let me know immediately via return email. *We will do what we can, but cannot guarantee any further tickets will be available. *_ __2. You MUST update your Schedule AS SOON AS POSSIBLE_ https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Miniconf_Info We need to key this information into the conference system to assist the AV Team. The sooner you do this, the sooner we can key it in, and the happier the AV Team will be. We all want a happy AV Team now don't we? :-) If you have your Schedule in another format, we're happy to update the Wiki for you, just drop us an email. Katie McLaughlin, Fraser Tweedale, Josh Hesketh and Simon Lyall all get gold stars for having your schedule already up. _ __3. Room swaps_ Based on registration indications and room suitability I'd like to propose the following room swaps; Monday 1st February * Swap Open Hardware with Open Source Bioinformatics, putting Open Hardware into D2.211 which is a flat floor classroom better suited to hardware work, and Bioinformatics into a large lecture theatre which is more suitable for academic-style presentations If there are no objections to this, I'll 'make it so' on the system by the end of tomorrow (Monday 18th). If there are any other Miniconfs who desperately want to swap rooms please let me know ASAP.

To provide an indication, some stats are below, but the things you need to keep in mind when reading them are; * Delegates can indicate multiple Miniconf preferences in their registration * Many Delegates will jump between different Miniconfs during the day * And some Delegates often 'Hallway Track' during most of the conference * A good guide is that you'd have around half of the people indicated below Here are the raw figures; * We've sold 558 tickets overall * Of which 18 are Miniconf (Monday Only) tickets * Of which 4 are Miniconf (Tuesday Only) tickets * Of which 7 are Miniconf (both day) tickets * Open Hardware is limited to 30 places, all subscribed Kind regards, Kathy Reid Monday Multimedia + Music 98 Tuesday Systems Administration 295 Monday Open Cloud 232 Monday Open Hardware 223 Monday Documentation 97 Monday Open Source and Bioinformatics 95 Monday Linux Kernel 181 Tuesday Open Radio 121 Tuesday Open Knowledge 110 Tuesday Community Leadership Summit X 81 Tuesday Functional Programming 177 -- Kathy Reid @linuxconfau | #lca2016 linux.conf.au 2016 Geelong - LCA By the Bay http://www.lcabythebay.org.au +61 488 394 885 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Much of the information below is covered in your Speaker Information Pack, and will be covered at the Speaker and Miniconf Organiser Briefing Session on Sunday 31st January, but we?re recapping here, as we realise how busy you all are. https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Information_for_Speakers#Speaker_Information_Pack What resolution should the slides / notes for my presentation be? As previously communicated, your slides/notes should be 16:9 ratio. We will be using 720p resolution (1280 x 720p). What connections will there be? Do I need to bring my own adapter? Allrooms will onlyhave HDMI connectors. If you need an adapter to output HDMI, please bring it with you. If you forget your HDMI adapter, the A/V team might have one you can use - but there are no guarantees! Please contact the Speaker Liaison via return email if you must use VGA output. We do have a limited number of VGA to HDMI converters, but they may cause display issues. Note:Previously information had indicated that Wool Museum was VGA only, this is turned out not to be the case. Can I test my laptop / setup? Yes! It is also recommended that you do so.A test setup will be available in the Speaker and Media room, this will be identical to the in-room setup allowing you to plug your laptop in and check that it works. What has changed this year? This year the conference will be using new hardware for video recording. This hardware has been trailed at a number of other conferences, but as with any new system there are likely to be unforeseen problems. Why has the capture hardware changed? The new hardware is part of the TimVideos.us' HDMI2USB project and enables capture in high definition. It has also been is designed to reduce the common issues presenters have when trying to present. Even more awesomely, the capture hardware is a fully open source design , running open source firmware ! What can I do to ensure my slides are as good as they possibly can be? We?ll be covering common errors at the Speaker and Miniconf Organiser Briefing on Sunday afternoon, but they can be summarised at; * Ensure that text isn?t too close to the borders / sides of your slides o Projectors have a tendency to cut the sides of your slides! * Ensure that text is large enough to be readable at a distance (> 18 point is usually a good guide) o If you can read your slide in the thumbnail preview, that is a good sign. * Ensure that text has good contrast o Many of the projectors have very poorcontrast. Just because it looks okay on your computer screen doesn't mean it will look okay on the projector. o Many people have problems with seeing low contrast. Please also try to consider colorblind people when picking colors. * Ensure that you spellcheck your document * We respectfully request that language used should be suitable for a 12 year old to listen to (easy on the profanity please) and request that sexually explicit or similarly potentially offensive imagery be avoided.

Wanted to ask them a well thought out question, but the question time was taken up with a comment thinly disguised as a question? Fear no more! This year, all Keynote questions will be curated, and only the best questions will be asked of the Keynote Speaker, by a facilitator. How do you ask a question? You email keynote at lcabythebay.org.au with your question, clearly indicating; - the Keynote - the question - your name / identifier Great questions will be asked. Poor questions will not. Easy. Questions for Miniconfs, normal Presentations, Tutorials and Prototypes will happen as per the usual practice of putting up your hand and being given a microphone. Thank you in advance!
