Hi Nuritzi and Rosanna!
Thanks for putting this together. :)On Fri, Mar 31, 2017 at 6:43 PM Nuritzi Sanchez <nuritzis stanfordalumni org> wrote:Hey guys,Rosanna and I finally finished putting together our initial proposal. We were told by the Board that we don't need a formal bid since we're not sure that LAS GNOME will be a GNOME sponsored annual conference. Instead, GNOME will just contribute towards it. The reason is that LAS GNOME is tightly bound to Flatpak, and we're not sure how Flatpak will exist in relation to GNOME long-term. It's something that bridges many projects and will outgrow us.So, I think it just happened that LAS GNOME was around flatpak since there was some great messaging around it and it was a great vehicle to reach out to other organizations. But it doesn't necessarily need to be around flatpak every time. The entire idea of the conference, and how it was presented to the board is that it can be used to show leadership in user space. I don't think we want to get too specific as that will might tie our hands on subjects. After all, we are trying to build an application eco-system but that will include more than just flatpak. It will include vulkan, toolkits, tooling, etc.There is a vacuum right for user space related things. Linux Plumbers conference (https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2017/ ) has deviated from its original intent which was to include all of user space and kernel space and that's currently gone and it has turned into a general kernel conference. So we have a great opportunity to fill that gap because I know people are unhappy with Plumbers given my conversations with various people who attend that conference.Let us know if you have any feedback. We hope to show this to the Board on Tuesday.So the only other thing is that if we are going to be just another investor, then do we want to brand GNOME as part of LAS? The original was Libre Appication Summit presented by GNOME. Will we change it to just Libre Appication Summit?I haven't looked at the numbers, but I will do that later in the day. Once again, thanks for putting this together!sri______________________________Thank you!Best,Nuritzi............................................................ ................. _________________
