  • trash on desktop, unnecessary WPS classed, trash after accidents.
  • documents in different corners of the disk
  • old versions of applications (major)
  • unnecessary dll files

What is the goal of user:

  • Install new eCS 2.1
  • Switch to new fresh hard drive / new computer

Warpstock Europe conference - the 1-st blood

2012-03-18 03:30:18 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

All previous WSE conferences were organized very well. You can read the reports here: Community: conferences plus watch the interviews and presentations.

Nevertheless, some topics should be spotted. IMHO, it's necessary make some changes to WSE organization to make it function in never-ending cycle (create conditions to make it grow).

 

Some questions, offerings and theses:

Q-1: What is the purpose of the conference?

A-1: Present new products, exchange the knowledge.

Q-2: What is the reason to visit the conference (for users)?

A-2: Get the knowledge, make questions to the developers and specialists. Buy the apps with the discount.

Q-3: What is the reason to visit the conference (for companies / shareware developers)?

A-3: Sell software, answer to the questions of the users.

4) Every Warpstock conference should attract new people from IT world.

It's not enough to promote the event inside the community, it's necessary post the *sequence* of the announcements to large IT sites. [REQUIREMENT-4]

5) Promotion of the conference.

The promotion should start in advance, in 5 monthes.

  • Rotate banners with the faces of speakers and topics of presentation
  • Publish information about the city of the conference
[REQUIREMENT-5]

6) There should be exhibition room with 20 developers / companies.

How to fill the room? a) Stimulate the developers. b) Put 20 monitors with cables.
[REQUIREMENT-6]

7) It's necessary raise N topics on the conference (force the discussion),

in other words order the research / presentation preparation from some developers / specialists. One presentation may be prepared by 3-5 specialists (1 speaker + theses from the developers).

8) Promotion of the conference.

The only real method to promote the conference - make the photos, make the reports from previous conference. And remind about the results of the previous conference *before the next one*. [REQUIREMENT-8]

We offered make a wallpaper with WSE20xx logo (look at TV press-conferences) so all visitors get the photos with WSE logo at home/facebook photo album. [REQUIREMENT-8-x]

9) Invite non-eCS presenters.

There should be 2-3 presentation not related to eCS directly. [REQUIREMENT-9]

10) Discounts

What is the reason for people spend 50 EURO .. 1000 EURO to visit the conference?! It's necessary sell Software pack (10 popular apps with discount 70%), sell Thinkpad laptops with eCS pre-installed (with discount). [REQUIREMENT-10]
So the users can compensate the expenses and get profit.

11) Souvenirs.

There should be free souvenirs. More users return to the Warpstock if they have useful souvenirs at home. [REQUIREMENT-11]

Q-12: What happens if Warpstock Europe conference is dismissed?

A-12: The D-day (the conference week-end) makes the developers finish all projects in short terms, find the targets and correct the plans. The conference it's like an examination. The year may be closed if the examination (conference) was organized and the students (users) made the presentations, demonstrated the annual report. No examination - no switch to the next year.

We ask eCS developers to release the programs, don't keep in the garage. There is large difference between "self-made program" and "product for the market", you should spend more efforts. There is reason to release the program as shareware in this case. Suggestion to develop cheap applications for eCS
