Hi all at Webteam,
For the GNOME Open Desktop Day, there are some changes to be done for the website. Fortunately, Erik Bosman and Sense Hofstede have already done most of it. There are some relatively small tasks left, however. Who can help me get them online as soon as possible?
This still needs to be done:
-at this page: http://www.guadec.org/index.php/guadec/2010/
A bullet is to be added on the right at 'Important information', with 'GNOME Open Desktop Day'
-The names in the speakers on the schedule: http://www.guadec.org/index.php/guadec/2010/schedConf/overview#open-desktop-day
should point to the biographies and photos of speakers (each a sepearte page or one big page with anchors). In the attachment I've added a document with all the biographies and photos. I've added all the photo's seperately as well. Also, I've included an HTML file that Sense has started already (thanks!). Sense is in the middle of exams however so we shouldn't be bothering him :-)
Let me know if you can help.
Best,
Sanne te Meerman

Hi Sense,Hello,
This is the text for the website.
At the chapter 'the conference' (top menu),
http://www.guadec.org/index.php/guadec/2010/
Can you also add a bullet with 'GNOME Open Desktop Day'?
For the texts, zie attachments. All photographs are also attached. It's my
intention that from the program you can link to seperate pages for the
bio's. Whether you give every speaker a separate page, or if you make one
big page with all the speakers of GNOME Open Desktop Day, and every link
anchors to that specific bio is up to you. Whatever works best for you.
Best,
Sanne
ps. forgive me for further changes that will probably come. There are others
involved with deciding about the program as well, and there is also
non-response from some people who have said they would participate. For now,
we need to have a preliminary program online to go on with further promotion
of GUADEC and this particular day.
I have edited the schedule, put it in an HTML table and added it to
the current overview page at
<http://www.guadec.org/index.php/guadec/2010/schedConf/overview>.
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time. I wrongly expected that all
your additions would just be extra text, or corrections for existing
text. Tomorrow is the first day of a text/exam week at school, and
next to that I am also busy with 'regular' school work that all needs
to be finished and/or handed in now the school year is coming to an
end.
Next week I will have more time to work on the website, but if you
really need someone to do it you could ask someone else. I've attached
the HTML file I am using the edit the overview page because the HTML
viewer in OCS is unworkable, putting everything at one line.
Regarding your request to add an item for The GNOME Open Desktop Day
to the top of the GUADEC 2010 website: I would like to hear from Koen
and the other website volunteers first to hear what they think about
adding an extra item to the navigation bar. I am in favour of creating
a separate page for The GNOME Open Desktop Day in the (near?) future,
and at least add a link to the right sidebar at the conference's page:
<http://www.guadec.org/index.php/guadec/2010/>. Together with the
desktop training it could get a separate heading "Other events around
GUADEC", or something like that.
The separate page(s) with the information about the speakers is
something that I definitely won't be able to do within the next two
weeks. I'm sorry, maybe I should have let know that I would have very
little time these weeks, but I can't just drop all my school books for
this. I hope you understand. :)
Kind regards,

The GNOME Open Desktop Day
With the upcoming release of GNOME 3.0, it will be no surprise that a lot of attention will be focused on the latest release issues. But there will also be special interest for the open source desktop in education and the government.
NOiVPrior to GUADEC, the GNOME Open Desktop Day will take place, which is in fact a preconference to GUADEC. The GNOME Open Desktop Day will be organized in association with Programme Office NOiV <https://noiv.nl/service/english/> — 'the Netherlands in Open Connection'. In line with their action plan <https://noiv.nl/files/2009/12/Action_plan_english.pdf>, the preconference will focus on the 'New Forerunners' /(action line 9, page 19 of the action plan)/.
This means that some of Europe’s most interesting 'early adopters' of free or open source software on desktops in government organizations are invited to share their experiences. Some of these projects are:
* The GVPontis project
<http://www.gvpontis.gva.es/fileadmin/conselleria/images/Documentacion/memoria/gvpontis_ingles.pdf>
(Valencia, Spain)
* The Wollmux projecy <http://www.wollmux.org/> (Munich, Germany)
What is perhaps most striking about these projects is the synergy that they have created, as they involve close collaboration of government institutions, software communities and businesses. During The GNOME Open Desktop Day, the pursued strategies and background of some of the most interesting projects in Europe will be discussed.
If you are an early adopter, or want to become one, please contact Sanne te Meerman — /sanne <at sign> opensourceadvies.nl/ — or visit this site regularly for updates on the program. This preconference is also accessible for open software businesses. However, you must be sponsor of GUADEC in order to participate. To become a sponsor, please take a look at the GUADEC sponsor’s folder <http://guadec.org/GUADEC%202010-final.pdf>.

Chair of the Day
Arjen KamphuisArjen Kamphuis — born in 1972 — studied Science & Policy at Utrecht University and worked for IBM as Unix specialist, Tivoli consultant and software instructor. As IT-strategy consultant at Twynstra Gudde he was involved in starting up Kennisnet <http://about.kennisnet.nl/>, the Dutch educational network. Since 2001 he is operating as an independent adviser of companies and governments. He co-authored — in 2002 — a motion in parliament that ultimately turned — in 2007 — into a full-fledged Dutch government policy mandating the use of open source software for all government and public sector IT-operations.
At present Arjen divides his attention between IT-policy and the convergence of IT, biotechnology and nanotechnology and its social and economic implications. Arjen gives guest lectures on technology policy and scenarioplanning at various universities and colleges.
When not consulting, Arjen is actively involved in (digital) civil liberties, the open source movement and criticizing the war on terror.
