Hi, on April 8-10 The Linux Foundation will hold its second Collaboration Summit at the UT Supercomputing Center in Austin, TX:
https://www.linux-foundation.org/events/collaboration On the first day there will be plenary sessions, on the other two days sessions of the subgroups of the Linux Foundation. And there will be also additional informal meetings on April 11 and 12 if needed. I will also be there to have a 1-day OpenPrinting Meeting and additional printing sessions on the other days. Proposed subjects for the OpenPrinting Meeting are: - Automatic download and installation of distribution-independent driver packages: Security and QA concepts required by Linux distribution vendors - Common Printing Dialog for all applications and desktops designed by OpenUsability: Specs for integrating the dialog with applications, desktops, and drivers - State of the art of the replacement of PostScript by PDF as standard print job format: foomatic-rip 4.0 and other filters - LSB 4.0 and printing: First thoughts about which requirements to add: GTK printing interface, CUPS 1.2.x features, SANE, ... - Presentation of printing activities to the Linux Foundation members (especially printer manufacturers) and other interested participants of the event. - Report on other OpenPrinting work group activities These subjects are only suggestions, any other subject idea is welcome. You all are invited to participate in this OpenPrinting Meeting, especially to discuss desktop-relevant subjects like the Common Printing Dialog designed by OpenUsability. If the OpenPrinting Meeting and the DAM happen to be on the same day, we will arrange that for the common printing dialog session the DAM and the OpenPrinting track will be joint. Please tell us as soon as possible whether you will attend, so that we can make an estimation on the size of the room and on sponsoring needs. Note also that this meeting should not replace the OpenPrinting Summit in September/October this year. So if you get financial support from your employer only for one of the two events we prefer you to come to the OpenPrinting Summit (but sponsoring of your second trip could be considered). Discussion about the meeting happens on the printing-summit mailing list: http://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/printing-summit Please subscribe before you post. I am grateful for your quick response as the meeting is already in 6 weeks.
