[Marketing] OSCON - call for Qt Project coordination

[Quim Gil]

Hi, OSCON has just announced their call for papers:

http://www.oscon.com/oscon2012/public/cfp/197?imm_mid=079f65&cmp=em-conf-os12-em1-unsol-cfp

Portland (OR) July 16-20

This is a major event in the US and one of the stops in the global OSS 
tour. Their content committee fights for hi quality sessions, their 
sponsorship fees are significant, even the registration fee is remarkable.

This is a call for coordination, any Qt Project stakeholders are invited 
to join.

- Keynote
Lars, are you available? It takes effort and more to get a keynote 
through. The sooner we start the better.

- Sessions
The content committee is really picky with content (technical level, 
novelty, originality, format...), the speaker and the submission itself. 
Brainstorming the best topics we should push according to the terms of 
their CfP and agreeing who pushes what will probably lead to better 
results than just lettins anybody submit something, with all the risk of 
half backed intents and overlaps.

- Exhibition
Do we want to pool efforts to bring an excellent Qt demo area and Qt 
Project contact point? Is any organization planning on having own 
presence? Pros / cons of going under the Qt Project umbrella instead?

- Sponsorship
Similar to the topic of stand: are we interested in a Qt logo and Qt 
Projects appearing as sponsor? Is anybody considering pushing their own 
logo? Pros/cons?

More? Please discuss and help documenting
