Squeak BOF at OOPSLA!

Howdy Dan and all!

Ok, now I added the BOF to the OOPSLA wiki AND to the Swiki and booked it
preliminary:

http://www.oopsla.org/wiki2007/index.php/Birds_of_a_Feather_Sessions
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6009

Does this work for you Dan? (quite important for the rest of us I think)

regards, Göran

PS. I will try to nail the room and make sure there is a projector there -
and I am bringing my video recorder and will tape and put xvids up :)

Bergel, Alexandre

Re: Squeak BOF at OOPSLA!

Hi Goran,

Are you sure you want to make it start at 18:00 ? Eric Gamma will be
doing a demo (which ends at 18:30) then at 20:00 there is a keynote
from Steele and Gabriel.

I take the risk of repeating myself, but Monday after the reception
may be good...

Cheers,
Alexandre

I'll come, too, this year. First OOPSLA for me, can you believe it?

I will bring an OLPC XO laptop so you can see Squeak running on it.

[off-topic]

It would be *really* cool if I could also demonstrate the 'hand-crank
charging'. Alas, there is no hand-crank coming with the laptop yet.
But if someone living in North America could get one of these
chargers for me that would be awesome:

freecharge12v

I'd happily pay the $30 (but not the 40 Euros = $55 it costs here in
Europe). Anyone?

I guess we need to change the time though, Alexandre may have a point.

Hmmm, I may be inclined to agree - but earlier years people have argued
that not all attendees arrive until tuesday.

On the other hand - Steele draws a crowd so competing with that seems dumb.

Dan and Bert - what do you guys say? Since the XO will be shown I expect
LOTS of people to want to come by! :)

I'm flying in on Saturday so I don't really care. Although I'd prefer
if it wouldn't clash with that keynote, but maybe 6 to 8 is enough?
Don't know how long a BOF usually is.

Great, will be fun meeting up again!

I am flying in on saturday too with a collegue - will be staying at the
Siecle hotell (Hyatt was full). Regarding length of Squeak BOFs - they
tend to be several hours! At least if more than 10 people show up.

Most years we have had at least 5 presentations I think - sometimes even
up to 10. BUT... I don't know if the location this year has any
negative/positive effect.

So... ok, let me change the preliminary time to monday after the reception
and see if people object to that. I have also sent a few emails checking
for room and projector.

Goran, can you not add the wiki.squeak.org link on the oopsla wiki ?

I have already done that. You should click on the "Squeak BOF" link to get
to its own OOPSLA wiki page first. :)

Sure. I'll be there.

I took the Tuesday 7pm slot to demo the Lively Kernel, since it doesn't take long.

Ehrm, we managed to change the BOF to monday after the reception since you
read that. ;) Does the current time work for you too? Alexandre made me
realize that tuesday really is not that good.

Dumb question: What country is this in? US or Canada right?

Is there a way to participate at the Squeak Bof without registering
to OOPSLA?

Well, I am unsure if you have access to the rooms without a pass - I think
that has varied over the years and probably depends a bit on the
conference center. Do you know Eugene?

In any case I am bringing a video recorder and lots of tapes and will put
presentations/demos up as xvids on my own bittorrent tracker at krampe.se
within a day or two. :) Then someone can also get them on google video
(lower quality but streamed) - someone did last year IIRC.

If you are not afraid to be kicked out, give a try :-)

More seriously, checks at a conference happen only when entering a
room with a major event (keynote, research talks, ...)

one reason I see why nobody added new topic on the wiki page, is that
it requires a password:

http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6009.edit

How can I add something on it?

As you probably noticed this is just the regular Squeak Swiki password
we have to prevent too much spammers - not any special pass for that
page - "squeak/viewpoints".
