Hi! * Gunnar Wolf <gwolf@gwolf.org> [060412 03:35]: > Ok, great job! Thanks. Thanks to Google and Ganneff for helping with that, too ;) > So, right now we have 106 pages.

Oh, good, that reminds me, that I forgot to ask you for the paper format ;) > About the seven missing papers, how many have you contacted the > authors for? All have been contacted, most of them answered ;) > How many does your crystal ball say we will be missing in the end? Status of the missing papers: - Experiences with large CDD-installations: the paper is nearly ready, just needed to be texified, which should be done by this evening; An OOo Version is available and Knut asked it to pe proof readed: http://developer.skolelinux.no/artikler/2006-04-02-debconf6.odt http://developer.skolelinux.no/~knuty/2006-04-02-debconf6.pdf Currently 16 pages long, should be shorter in LaTeX - Debian's Debugging Debacle: the Debrief: No direct answer yet, but h01ger said, AJ is aware of it, and will submitt something soon; will try to catch AJ and helix on irc - The X Community -- History and Directions by Keith Packard paper submitted got submitted in the meantime, but only as pdf. We asked for a latex or plain text version; 8 pages - Ubuntu annual report by Mark Shuttleworth Most likely he / they won't submitt a paper in time, so this talk is most likely to be demoted to a BoF session - Debian and the Law: Selected Legal Topics for the Developer by Gregory Pomerantz No answer to the e-mails, yet. Nothing heard; anyone knew, if he's on irc / im / whatever? - GPLv3 and Debian by Don Armstrong Paper is ready (IIRC), current size 7 pages - OpenSolaris and Debian: Can we be friends? by Simon Phipps and Alvaro Lopez Ortega Uh, they didn't knew about the papers and didn't got any mails; probaly our fault - could it be, that we sent the reminders only to talks, but not to workshops or round tables? > Having most other papers in the 5-10 page range (although some are > certainly shorter), we look at least at 150 printed pages. Uhm... it might that we end up with more than that. E.G. I completly forgot h01gers paper about the video stuff, but think that's important enough to be in the procedings. > About the BoF sessions, do you think on just printing the list of > names and authors, or the abstract for each of them? Depends; I thought that abstacts would be fine, too. But if that get's too long, I think I'll remove them and just stay with authors and topics. > This makes it 157 or 161 pages.

I missed that last year, but didn't had the time for that this year. Could you do that? It would be then placed just at the begining of the precedings. Hmm... if anyone has some other usefull ideas on how to save pages, that would be the time to tell them ;) [ Deadline ] > We should have this information by tomorrow. > > About the artwork: As last year, I think it would be the same as what > we print on the shirts.
