NethServer Conference in Italy, Sept 29-30 2017

Just some ideas that we can discuss and hopefully decide over:

  • NS roadmap(s): the TOCK in the TICK-TOCK development. What new (official) features can we expect for NS7? What will be the goal for NS8?
  • My personal favorit: NS as base for educational purposes. What functionality needs to be added to make NS the most useful base for schools.
  • NethServer community: Now the community as growing I think there is a need for a (formalised) body of people that want to take that extra step to get the community to a higher level. Almost every opensource distribution has some kind of board or counsel. Most of the time informed (or if you want: advised) by the several groups of specialists that run their own part of the community. Think of documentation team, bughunters team, translation team etc… I don’t know what would be the best way of installing such a board or counsel. Maybe by appointing 1 member of each team in the board? Or just ask for people who want to step in?

Input and ideas about these items and any other items that should be part of the Conference are much appreciated and welcomed.

As part of the conference I want to step forward and ask for about 45-60 min presentation about how NethServer can serve in educational environments. Could that be scheduled on the Saturday?

We have a bunch of ideas regarding that but too little energies to devote :unamused:
Indeed, a long shared roadmap could be a great outcome for the conference.

I hope to see the whole @education_team at the conference to talk about that :slight_smile:

Great point, we tried to tackle this in the past :point_down: and currently each ambassador has a job to do.
I don’t know how many attendees we’ll have but we can think also to two parallel tracks for our meetings

Thanks for your proposal, very interesting.
I’m thinking mostly to some lightning talks (30 mins at most) in order to give enough time to the other speakers and meetings

I think that could work. Will you collect all requests so you can guard the quality of the presentations?

To get started, I can collect some proposals Title + Abstract
Do you want to discuss all of these suggestions there?

Oh, i envy those who live nearby!

Wish i could!

Maybe next time :slight_smile: , so for those who are going, do discuss the integration of others opensource packages, like, PHPbb, OpenFire, GLPI. And please, native integration with other cloud services to backup like DropBox/OneDrive/Gdrive. :stuck_out_tongue:

Am i asking too much?! For a AIO linux distribution to be so perfect?!

@ssabbath did you miss this? NextCloud has already a great integration with those services.

@roberto.schiano @netbix happy to hear it :slight_smile: I’ll keep you in touch.

I´m also thinking of joining this event- probably I could present our change from Zentyal to Nethserver last Jan/Feb and implications in a medical institution.

By the way,all is still working fine and except the nextcloud problem, which you solved brilliantly we had no real problems so far at all in a real life situation

@iglqut: I will be delighted to meet you in Italy! I do hope more community members will join and apply to do a talk about their experiences with NethServer and Opensource.

Yup, i have GLPI installed in two of my nethserver firewalls around the world :astonished: lol! :slight_smile: i know it works pretty well. I have openfire on ClearOS too, it works pretty well.

I know it is possible, but i would love some integration in the “software center” of them, to make them “officially” supported :smiley: , i´m just giving some ideas… thats all, i know it is a LOT to do, documentation and all, but i think thats something really good that people can enjoy.

(The Offspring - Now that’s something everyone can enjoy!)

And for the Cloud integration, all i´ve seen is a Dropbox integration in NextCloud and it does not allow me to put sync my fileserver files there, what i meant was a native integration for the fileserver. I´m currently testing OneDrive-D OneDrive Free Client and GitHub - xybu/onedrive-d-old: Microsoft OneDrive client on Linux.

Already booked a room- comin’with my wife- looking forward to see you! :grin:

Italy here we come.
My wife and me will be at the NethServer conference! Flight and rooms are booked.
We decided to go for an extra day so we will arrive Wednesday 27th September at Ancona Airport and Monday 2nd October we will return to Belgium.

We will be staying in Gabicce-Mare, about 4km from Gradara, where the conference will be held.
I am still unsure how we will do local transportation. If we can get a ride from anyone there, it would be highly appreciated.
