[Debconf-team] Poster session
Hi, Continuing on the "poster session" idea, here is a way we could implement/track it. http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/PosterSession Suppose we created a "Poster Session" track in penta, which isn't an actual talk, but just a way to register an intent to give a poster. That way we can plan space/time depending on interest. Thoughts? If we can agree+do this Real Soon, then it can be included in the call for papers to let people know and build interest. - Richard -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 622 days, 18:11 |http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team

'''This is a draft, and it has not yet been decided to implement this idea.''' == Submitting a poster == Please follow the instructions under the Call for Papers (LINK) to submit an intent to present a poster. Submit your event as type ''Poster''. The format of the poster session is still to be decided.

It can provide an introduction to your talk, an opportunity for follow-up, or Some ideas include: * Slides from talks. * Schematics and descriptions of utilities or infrastructure - get more users * Information on teams and their working - help recruit members * Future plans - to get feedback. * Independent research performed by attendees == Poster formats == A poster can be either individual or from a team. A typical academic poster is a large printout on A0 (80x110cm) paper conveying information about research. For examples, search "computer science poster". This can require significant layout work, significant printing cost (> 50 USD), and hassle in transportation. ''This level of detail is not required.'' You may use the "slides format", where one prints out a series of A4 sheets of paper with their ideas and posts them. This makes it easy to turn any presentation into a poster. This can be easily carried, cheap to print, and can be done on-site. Even just having slides from your talk posted will help promote discussion about your talk and learn what they have missed. Creative people or teams could do a twist on the traditional format by having attendees write feedback directly on the poster. Very creative teams could provide a mostly blank poster, and see if people work together to flesh out ideas like a real-life wiki. -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 622 days, 18:48 |http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team

These things need to be checked for accuracy and completeness: Registration website text: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/Registration#Registration_page_text This should have complete information everyone may need to know.

Hi, I remember today being a deadline for reserving hotels. Are there any local updates on this? Can we reserve Bosna now, and add others as we think we'll need them? Any idea on their cancellation/change policies?

I think that'd be a bit overbending for Penta, although it could work. The thing is, the poster sessions will be held during a single "event" (that is, during an alloted timespan - 2hr perhaps?). The accepted "talks" for the poster sessions will not be scheduled by themselves, only listed as part of the (single) session. And although it could be managed as a track... Well, it does not have to have thematic coherency (which is our definition for tracks). I see you are trying with this to group a bit too much based on some coincidences. I'd rather suggest the poster coordinator set up a separate paper submission system, and then register a single (long) session in Penta, including the different files. (oh, that sounded quite like the whine of a system implementor when required to do something that breaks logic... Does anybody want to hack subsessions into Penta? :-} ) ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
