Subpages:
This page is about possible speakers for the 5th Oekonux Conference. It lists people we are considering to invite directly to the conference (as opposed to those who may apply because of the CfC) This page has two purposes:
- Records possible candidates
- Rate these candidates (later in the process)
Some guidelines for editing this page:
- If you edit the page please try to keep the structure
- An entry may name concrete persons or an abstract group (such as "Debian developer")
- If you add an entry please leave your signature so we are able to trace back the suggestion easily (try @ SIG @ without the spaces)
- If you add an entry it is often useful to say a few words about it so others may get an idea why this could be interesting / ranked high
- In general please do not publish email addresses of persons here; instead keep them for reference so we can obtain the address when needed or put them as an unharvestable comment in here such as the following (visible only in source version of this page)
- Please do not put longer texts to this page
