I'd love to get discussion going and hear more of others who might have improvements to offer that would enable us to top the fun of last year, if we can ;) Should we continue discussion here or start a new thread on marketing as well? -Sivan From quim.gil at nokia.com Thu Feb 2 00:43:35 2012 From: quim.gil at nokia.com (Quim Gil) Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 15:43:35 -0800 Subject: [Marketing] QtSummit participation criteria In-Reply-To: References: <4F2847C1.7050603@nokia.com> Message-ID: <4F29CE27.1000806@nokia.com> On 01/31/2012 01:02 PM, ext Laszlo Papp wrote: >> * You are in the organization team. > > What exactly are the tasks for this team ?

Registration and distribution of badges + infodesk is a must. Someone paid should do the bulk of the work but then volunteers can be included doing shifts in the infodesk. (although I dream of a 225 people event where IRC or SMS plus the host reception is enough to handle the non-peak hours) The tasks during the event are mostly related to the rooms and sessions, and this is where volunteers make a big difference: making sure everything works, water in place, time kept, microphones... Another possible area is extending what the core organization will offer. For instance, maybe we can afford having good video recording and streaming for the main room, but maybe volunteers want to make sure specific sessions or rooms are additionally covered as well with recording, no streaming. A lot more can be done with each session e.g. taking notes (wik, etherpad), plugging a Google+ hangout, connecting with IRC, tweeting... Some help is also needed right before & right after the event with signaling, etc. We will know better about this when the host defines the work they will do. Overall technical support falls also inn this category. I expect to have dedicated people for the critical areas: preparations before the event, technical setup & support & catering. > [1] http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/ds-volunteers/2011-July/000014.html Heh, I know some of those volunteers and actually someone had recommended me Gil Forcada, who happens to live now in Berlin. -- Quim From alexandra.leisse at nokia.com Fri Feb 3 14:56:27 2012 From: alexandra.leisse at nokia.com (alexandra.leisse at nokia.com) Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2012 13:56:27 +0000 Subject: [Marketing] QtSummit participation criteria In-Reply-To: <4F29CE27.1000806@nokia.com> Message-ID: On 2.2.2012 12:43 AM, "ext Quim Gil" wrote: >On 01/31/2012 01:02 PM, ext Laszlo Papp wrote: >>> * You are in the organization team. >> >> What exactly are the tasks for this team ? > >Good question and I'm not sure.

There is not much to do once the thing really runs that requires anyone to be glued to the reception. Provided of course the team is reachable either via mobile or via IRC/IM. >The tasks during the event are mostly related to the rooms and sessions, >and this is where volunteers make a big difference: making sure >everything works, water in place, time kept, microphones...

Who would have thought! ;) Right, but this also had the side effect of rooms changing and talks missed to the extend people gave up at a point and waited for the next slot, sometimes to find the designated talk took place or perhaps not in the place set. I proposed a mobile app on the wiki to take care of that, I put my scribbles on the wiki. > > [..] > >>A lot more can be done with each session e.g. taking notes (wik, >>etherpad), plugging a Google+ hangout, connecting with IRC, tweeting... > > I like these ideas. In that sense the outcome last year was not ideal. We need to have people responsible of meeting minutes recording and uploading (just like we had in 2010 ovi sprint) for discussion with actions items. I did twit like mad last year during the keynotes and well after. I could see that there's a lot of demand for online coverage of the event by those who did not attend. -Sivan From quim.gil at nokia.com Fri Feb 3 21:20:32 2012 From: quim.gil at nokia.com (Quim Gil) Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2012 12:20:32 -0800 Subject: [Marketing] QtSummit participation criteria In-Reply-To: References: <4F29CE27.1000806@nokia.com> Message-ID: <4F2C4190.2090400@nokia.com> On 02/03/2012 08:39 AM, ext Sivan Greenberg wrote: > I proposed a mobile app on the wiki to take care of that, I assume all attendees at QtSummit have mobile devices (plus laptop) with decent browsers.

Isn't enough to have a schedule online, always up to date? Actually yes, I had given thought to it and it will also make it cross platform for any platform. Formatting for mobile should not be a problem. So we just need a "web app". So simple, hence the double quotes :) We just need to have a url for 'happening now' that will match time with the schedule making it dead easy to quickly know what's now. + directions.

SIGNALING We need a couple of nice Qt banners for the entrance / reception, ok. We also want a nice Qt background at the plenary session, for nicer pics and videos (and to make our sponsors happier). Good. I don't think the track rooms need anything? Anything else? All of the "leisure" (lounge & lunch) happens in the ground floor and there is no way to get lost. All the sessions happen upstairs in the same level. There is the Galerie for the plenary sessions and then Seminarraum I to IV for the tracks.

Ask the venue if we can borrow their printer in an emergency. Locate a good printing service in the area just in case. FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT Provided and arranged by the venue. MERCHANDISING Do we really need yet another event shirt, yet another event toy. My vote as organizer is -1 but I'm open to opinions.

There is the Galerie Good. So for the web app we only need to provide the room number matched with the session description and time. (I guess directions are redundant if it is that easy to get to a room). If we know the schedule format (not the file format ;)) I can start throwing some code to have this web page ready and perfect it until the summit. > for the plenary sessions and then Seminarraum I to IV for the tracks.

We should use these steps to fasten also our Qt 5 marketing deliveries. See http://wiki.qt-project.org/Marketing/Qt_5_release - The feature freeze offers the bulk of novelties that Qt 5 contains. - By the alpha release we should have defined the core story and top items to push. Also the deliveries we expect beyond code. - By the beta release we should have the rough content in place, good enough to be useful to the beta release itself. Core text and images / diagrams should be there. - Between beta and final we should focus on the production of more complex deliveries e.g. Qt 5 intro video. If we have planned any kind of launch activities then that will be the time of last minute rush. :) We will need the help of the maintainers extracting the best juice out of Qt 5. I hope Lars has time to follow and review, just as if this would be a component more of the release. Some months back I asked who would coordinate the Qt release marketing this time, only to find eyes looking back at me. :O Until now Qt releases marketing has been pushed by a team inside Trolltech / Nokia. I hope we will move to an open and distributed effort, just like the rest of the Qt Project.

It was suggested at FOSDEM to send info here, so I comply ;) I don't know actually know what you can do about those infos, but here there are anyway :) So, VLC media player from VideoLAN moved to Qt platform, almost 5 years ago, with a first public release in September 2008 (v0.9.2). It is using QtCore and QtGui, on Linux and Win32. Mac still has its Cocoa GUI. The last major release, 1.1.0, was out in June 2010. It has been followed by 13 minor releases. The total number of downloads, including updates, since that date, is 474 million. And 425 million of those are the Win32 version, using Qt. Since this counts people multiple time, when they update, I also made a count on a single version, since the last minor release of VLC: 1.1.11. Since mid-July, in a bit over 6 months, we've seen 165 million downloads of VLC 1.1.11 on win32, using Qt 4.7.2. This is the end of 1.1.x though, since we will release 2.0.0 soon...

We are an Open Source Project, and joining GSOC gives that fact visibility. However, the more important questions are best discussed on the development list: ` 1. Who would be willing to propose tasks suitable for students & mentor them (each task needs to be summed up with a few words)? (Note that Mentoring a Student who is supposed to work a 40 hour week lead to lots of stress on the mentor side, too. Mentors should expect they need to dedicate up to 3 hours per day and either clear that up with their managers or deduct it from their spare time. Also, if you sign up for the task, you should be aware that this job sometimes involves a lot of hand-holding. That said I think others on the devel list who have been mentors more frequently than me can asses this part better. Feel free to comment. 2. GSOC potentially creates dead-on-arrival-code. Generally, students cannot be expected to stick with the project, even though some do. This means that GSOC projects by themselves are not sustainable. However, we have plenty of GSOC-sized bug reports that can be turned into proposals. Usually though, GSOC projects are about new features. If you want to mentor a project or if you have a proposal to make, please sign up at http://wiki.qt-project.org/GSOC_Proposals. Daniel PS: Having had some exposure to GSOC before and assuming we find enough mentors, I'd be willing to be (one of) the org-admin(s). PPS: If you are interested as a student, please refrain from adding anything to the wiki at this point. We first need to get a clear picture on the mentor side.
