Sailfish OS community event at FrOSCon 2019 (August 10th, near Cologne)
We will meet on Saturday afternoon, 2019-08-10, from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the FrOSCon 2019 (in St. Augustin, near Cologne, Germany) in room C120.
Goals of this meeting
- Providing FrOSCon visitors with a short introduction of Sailfish OS and the ability to take a look at it on real devices.
- A chance to meet Sailfish OS users for exchanging experience with Sailfish OS, native apps, device support of Sailfish OS, the AlienDalvik Android runtime environment, using Android apps with it etc.
- An occasion for developers using Sailfish OS to meet and discuss.
- Providing a space for short talks related to Sailfish OS (max. 15 minutes duration).
- Assessing if there is sufficient interest in establishing a monthly meeting in Bonn (preferably within walking distance of the main railway station). If so, find a common denominator for a day of the week (Saturday is usually regarded best and worst for finding a room) and time.
This has already been discussed here at TJC, but without conclusive result. The outcome of this topic will be posted there.

Everybody, please bring all your Sailfish OS devices with you, which you are willing to show to others, so we have a large assortment of devices there.
"Call for Participation (CfP)"
Feel free to volunteer for a short talk in an answer to this posting. The preferred language is German, but English is fine, too. Mind that the character of your talk should be of a "lightning talk", briefly introducing a topic. Also mind to provide a few minutes for Q&A in the plenum within your 15 minutes time slot. Still there will be sufficient time to continue discussing in a smaller group, later.
Please create a speaker account and file a talk at our CfP; submit the final title and a proper description at least three weeks before the FrosCon 2019 starts (i.e., until 2019-07-20, latest): This will enable us to properly lay out a schedule to announce it here and at the FrOSCon website, for generating more attention. Please also upload a draft of your presentation (if you plan to use one) then (it still can be updated later). Side note: In case unexpectedly too many talks are suggested or the scope of a suggestion is deemed inappropriate, @Thaodan and me will downselect them.
Thanks to the FrOSCon organisers for providing a projector and @Thaodan for planning to bring a laptop, so you can simply bring your presentation slides as a PDF on an USB stick or your phone (mind to carry an adapter cable to standard USB with you, then).
Kudos to @Thaodan for keeping the initiative and applying a room at FrOSCon 2019.
nice but I can not participate.

ds1979 ( 2019-07-16 23:56:48 +0200 )editThe event is a 5 minutes tram ride (plus a 7 minutes walk) away from Siegburg railway station, where InterCity, InterCity Express (connection Frankfurt <-> Cologne) and regional trains (e.g. from and to Cologne / Bonn airport "CGN") are stopping.
olf ( 2019-07-20 01:35:28 +0200 )editFrom the Siegburg railway station take tram line 66 to station "St. Augustin Zentrum" (commutes every 15 minutes). Edit: Note, that this station was renamed from "St. Augustin Markt", which I wrote earlier.
Tram line 66 can also be accessed via Bonn railway station (pay attention to enter the tram 66 bound to Siegburg, there).
Just booked my ticket. Looking forward to meeting other people using SailfishOS for the first time in my life :-)
