[Printing-architecture] General scheduling of the LSM

[Printing-architecture] General scheduling of the LSM

[Till Kamppeter]

Oi,

to know about the general scheduling on the event, please have a look here:

http://wiki.ael.be/rmll2004/index.php/Schedule

Do not edit this Wiki page, please post your suggestions in this thread 
here on the list.

So we have a developer room througout all the five days (and perhaps 
even somewhat longer) and we will have HALF A DAY of a lecture hall to 
give talks to the visitors of the LSM.

I want to ask for the following:

1. Pierre, François, Ludovic, can we have A FULL DAY for giving our 
presentations in the lecture hall? I also like to not do our 
presentations in the lecture hall on Saturday, the 10th, as the Kyocera 
people come only that day and want to talk with us in the developer 
room. For our presentations Thursday or Friday would be best.

2. To everyone of the participants, especially the ones working in 
bigger companies: The developer's room will not have a beamer. It would 
be nice if someone could organize and bring one. Perhaps one could add a 
beamer to the printer loan from Epson? Glen?

3. To the people of FSG OpenPrinting: For the call-in sessions we need a 
host for phone conferences. I suggest using the hosts which we use for 
the architecture, job ticket, and driver telecons. Can you arrange that 
we can use them. Calling to these hosts from France will be not more 
expensive than a local call when using www.telerabais.com, so we do not 
need to worry about the host being in the US. It is also cheaper for the 
US participants.

4. Pierre, François, Ludovic, we need a way to do phone conferences in 
the developer room. Can you provide a conference phone and if there is 
no phone line in the developer room a voice-over-IP connection?

5. Pierre, François, Ludovic, we will need the developer room for 
somewhat more than the five days of the event. I would be grateful if we 
can get it from July 5th - 11th, including LAN, internet access, and 
phone conference infrastructure as described under 4. I am also grateful 
if we could book also the nights from 4th to 5th, from 10th to 11th, and 
from 11th to 12th in the students dorms.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

As many participants have only Windows on their desks at their 
workplaces at the printer manufacturers, we need a solution to dial into 
a phone conference server in the US. This means that we should have some 
kind of voice-over-IP bridge which connects our conference room via the 
local network to some gateway to the real phone network. To reduce phone 
costs to dial to the phone conference server in the US we can make use 
of www.telerabais.com, which means by simply preceeding the number of 
the phone conference server with 0811-653131 the call to the US will 
call the same as a local call inside Bordeaux. The phone conference 
server in the US will be organized by the FSG OpenPrinting people.

I do not know the software mentioned below. Does linphone do this 
voice-over-IP bridge from our room to the real phone network?

We also need a conference phone (or a similar microphone/speaker system) 
in our room, so that on the phone conferences everyone calling in from 
the outside will understand everyone talking in the room and also we in 
the room will understand everyone calling in.
