Workshops

We are considering having workshops before the conference. These would happen on the day before the conference (probably Friday, maybe Thursday). The Workshops have two purposes:

• raise Money for the conference
• allow newcomers to get (first) experiences

Attendees

Payment:

• Student (free)
• Foundation Members (free)
• Professionals/Other (100€-200€/workshop)

Speakers/Tutors

• Sponsored by a company or volunteers
• Company names can appear in the context of the workshop if the tutor is paid for the work

Likely to Happen

• basics (GTK+/git/contributing) (Lasse, GNOME.Asia usuals)
• gstreamer (Olivier Crête)
• xdg-app, apparmor (Alexander Larsson)

Ideas

• community management (Janet Swisher, Mozilla/Shaun McCance)

• advanced GTK+?
• Wayland (GTK+/Mutter/GStreamer people)
• systemd(/kdbus) (Lennart, Harold?, generate some specific Ideas)
• glib/gsettings/dbus (Allison Lortie)

• how to use WebKit APIs (Gustavo Noronha)

Prior art

2006: https://wiki.gnome.org/Attic/LocalWorkshops There were also workshops in later years too.

There are regular workshops for newcomers at GNOME.Asia.
