Nice work, Will and SammyYou added more pictures from the venue, a contacts page, a news side-column and page, a sponsor bottom-bar to the site too!I was thinking if we could now- have an "about speaker" entry in the participation(submit paper) form.
- can we provide a layout of the schedule which gives a broad idea of things like "keynotes", "presentations", "tea-time", "city-tour" etc.- can we state the many different fields of IT community to which the summit will be a host, like HCIs, Mobile and embedded devices, databasesSAAS and web-services etc. apart from open-source.- can we provide our rough estimate of key developers, press people, students, businessmen and/or government officials visiting our event on thesponsors page and tell them what the sponsors will gain from the event like:chance of meeting key developers and designersgetting to know competitors, users and partnersadvancing open-desktop and mobile technologies as the summit will also host hacking labs (which you are working on) and workshops.expanding knowledge in terms of what are the latest developments and a chance to provide a direction to the new projects by discussions.providing new application/technology suggestions which might take up heat if you can raise sufficient interest and might actually use them inthe next release.company promotion: i'national press coverage, talks and visibility.On 9 April 2012 01:32, Sammy Fung <sammy opensource hk> wrote:
Hi all,
Actually I did minor content updates as the following.
- added 1-line sponsor page.
- added tentative schedule page.
- added 1 more line at submit paper page.
- added 1-line tentative venue (CityU) at location page.
- or some other minor content updates.
although I don't think that such updates will help on promotion.
