Re: FLOSS Conference ne Kukes

[Dashamir Hoxha]

Duket ide e mirë. Përderisa bashkia dhe universiteti i Kuksit

(në bashkëpunim edhe me organizata të tjera) marrin përsipër

anën logjistike, shoqatat Open Source (FLOSSK, OpenLabs etj.)

mund të marrin përsipër organizimin dhe publikimin e eventit.

Besoj se bëhet fjalë për diku nga behari, nëse nuk gaboj.

Nuk e di se çfarë planesh kanë OpenLabs dhe FLOSSK, por

do sugjeroja që të lihej një takim për këtë punë, për të biseduar

më hollësisht, ku të jenë edhe Besforti dhe Jetmiri.

Unë personalisht jam dakort në parim.

I am happy to hear about this interest and that our work in kosovo and
albania has generated so much interest and excitement.
if you are interested to get international speakers to your
conference, please remember that there are some steps :

1. make sure you give internationals about 6-8 months notice to plan a
trip, many people cannot just come on short notice, this is key for
getting speakers from around the world.
2. make sure you promote your conference on the web, make some call
for papers or participation and post it here
:http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/ lanyrd.com/ but also on the various
mailing lists of the projects you mentioned (drupal etc) and also on
the fosdem mailing list and with the fsfe.org
3,. make sure you have internet!

thansk and good luck, please send me any website you might have and I
will share it,

Si fillim, pergezime per iniciativen! Na duhen evente te tilla ne cdo qytet dhe vazhdimisht.

Jam dhe une dakord me Dashamirin per sa i perket nje bisede paraprake gjate takimit te ardhshem javor ne Open Labs per te biseduar se si mund te marrim pjese dhe te ndihmojme ne organizimin e konferences. Kete jave kemi qene shume te angazhuar ne WikiAkademine por te merkuren e ardhshme eshte dicka qe do besedohet patjeter.
Sigurisht sa me teper informacion te detajuar te kemi aq me e lehte do jete dhe per ne qe te ndihmojme.
Do doja te shtoja qe ne Mars (ose ne fillim te prillit) 2014 do behet dhe Open Source Conference Albania dhe nuk e di a do ishte mire qe te jene konferencat ne te njejtet dite pasi dicka e tille do e bente te veshtire pjesmarrjen e anetareve te Open Labs ne te dy vendet.

Considering that good speakers are in need, it would be better to have
events that can be done after each other with a short travel between
them. I would suggest this, it is still better than having two events
on the same day.

I have the impression that when we speak about a conference,
different people mean different things (including me).

For example, knowing that Besfort and Mike are Free Software
diehards, when they speak about inviting important speakers,
I think that they probably mean inviting Richard Stallman, or
Eric Raymond, or some other distinguished people.

On the other hand, Open Labs is a hackerspace and maybe
they mean a hackathon, or workshops and training, or a
mini-conference, or an unconference (yes, there is something
like that, mostly practiced by KIKA, the Macedonian hackerspace).
But they also have good Mozilla and Wikipedia relations, so
maybe they mean just an Open Source conference that promotes
Mozilla and Wikipedia.

However, when a municipality wants to sponsor a conference,
I think that most probably they want to switch their systems
to Free Software and Open Source, and they need some support
from the community, with workshops, trainings for their employees,
discussing and suggesting solutions with their IT professionals, etc.

So, I think that it is important to discuss and to clarify our aims
and expectations: what would be the goals of the conference, what
is its intended audience, what we expect to gain from it. If we
explain ourselves, then maybe we can find some intersection,
some common parts that would make all of us interested in
supporting such an event, and would make all of us benefit from it.

Myself, I think of such a conference as an event that could help
all of us to collaborate and to meet each-other (FLOSSK, OpenLabs,
OpenDataAlbania, etc.) It can also help to show and promote
to a wider audience the projects that we are currently working on.
If we get good media coverage, it may also be a good event
for promoting our principles and ideals to the whole society.
If we have good hands-on workshops and tutorials, then it may
also help the participants (mostly students and young people)
to get good skills.
I don't think that inviting important speakers is necessary, and
I don't think that it is practical (it is expensive), unless they are
willing to come with their own expenses.

Anyway, I think that organizing a common (joined) event has some
advantages over organizing several small isolated events.

These are basically what I think about it.

That sounds like an interesting idea to explore.
