This obviously necessitates a celebration, to make FSCONS 2016 a very special event. However, at the same time the core organisers have experienced a high workload. Too many things are still being done by too few people, and our efforts to bring more people into the fold have not been as successful as we had hoped. Therefore, the board's proposal to the Yearly Meeting of Föreningen FSCONS is that FSCONS 2016 should not only be a celebration of the conference's 10th anniversary, but also the very last one. We propose to make FSCONS 2016 a worthy ending to a great conference. To reduce the workload for the conference, we also propose that we simplify the organising greatly. The simplest way of accomplishing this is to find a place where many of the troubling aspects are fixed for us, such as conference centre, preferably one that lies in the rural areas close to Gothenburg and includes accommodation for all participants. This implies a few things. Firstly, the cost for each participant will be somewhat higher than it has been, essentially assuming cost price, as we do not wish to rely on sponsors. On the upside, food and accommodation will be included in the price. Secondly, we will have to reduce the number of participants, tracks and speakers. While we want to leave the exact number open to suggestions from both the public and the Yearly Meeting, we think that we reasonably could aim for fifty to a hundred participants, of whom ten or twelve are speakers and not really have any named tracks. As we have had many fantastic speakers during our ten years, we propose to invite some of our favourites from past conferences, and thus make FSCONS 2016 a somewhat retrospective event. If FSCONS is to continue as a yearly conference beyond 2016, we would like to see more people coming forward and being willing to take on responsibilities in the association. As FSCONS is run by a registered, democratic organisation, this would have to happen before the Yearly Meeting, which most likely would take place in April. In any case, we would appreciate feedback on this proposal from anyone who has participated in FSCONS in the past. Feedback should preferably go to the FSCONS organisers' list o...@lists.fscons.org With hopes of a splendid celebration, The FSCONS Board Andreas, Leif-Jöran and Stian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlbKnV8ACgkQs757iZfan6fHyQCfUhSpk1PEtUxDUetasjYm++af UIYAn3rQcxtB4uUhvIYy0h3YRU+ttcpL =BtGV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To unsubscribe from this list, click here: https://lists.fripost.org/fscons.org/sympa/auto_signoff/announces/bittin%40reimu.nl -- ubuntu-se mailing list ubuntu-se@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-se
