Hi,
	I'm working on a new document that I'd like to sumit to TLDP.

Subject: Organizing a FLOSS Conference HOWTO

History:
	This is a document that we, at the CaFeLUG (a local LUG in Argentina's
Federal Capital), wanted to write for quiet a long time. After our
fourth annual conference I decided to stop thinking about it, and go
ahead and write it. At the CaFeLUG we organize an annual conference
called ``CaFeCONF´´ (yes, we borrowed the name from DEBCONF), the site
is mainly in spanish but some part of it is translated -
http://www.cafeconf.org.
	After four years putting CaFeCONF together we got reasonable good at
it, so I think our experience could help a few people.

Scope:
	The document covers how to deal with these topics:
	- Tasks and resposabilities (how to put some order to caos)
	- Publishing (where to publish the conference and what to publish about it)
	- Speeches (how to select the speeches, call-for-papers and such)
	- Speakers (how to deal with local and foreign speakers, specially
foreign ones)
	- Sponsors (ideas on how to get sponsoring)
	- Web site (different ways to organize the conference's web site)
	- Attendees (how to deal with attendees, what they usually expect and
how to give it to them)
	- At the conference (how to work at the conference's days)

I did some search through the internet and didn't find any document
regarding this matter.
Any comments on the idea are welcome, I do have much of the document
already written (I used the TLDP XML template). After I'm done with the
document I will try to get somebody at the CaFeLUG to translate it to
spanish.

I'm not sure what are the steps I have to take from now on (I did read
the Author Guide).

thanks,

dax//
