From ronm at mitchellmedia.co.uk Tue Jun 12 10:43:54 2018 From: ronm at mitchellmedia.co.uk (Ron Mitchell) Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2018 10:43:54 +0100 Subject: [Xerte-dev] #Xerte 18 conference news and Xerte X update Message-ID: <00f901d40231$e1d5df50$a5819df0$@mitchellmedia.co.uk> Apologies for any cross posting Hi all a few notes and updates for those interested in Xerte and/or attending one or more of the conference days. Ticket sales end this Friday. Please alert any colleagues that are considering attending but haven't yet booked by forwarding this message and link: https://tinyurl.com/xerte18 and/or tweet via #xerte and #xerte18 If you are attending the main conference: Please check whether your current ticket shows as validated/paid. Some people booked via invoice rather than direct payment and some of those invoice payments have yet to be received. If you have printed a ticket previously that doesn't currently show as validated please access your order on Eventbrite and print again or if still invalid arrange for immediate payment. Please also check your booking confirmation and/or the event pages for location details and FAQ etc. Back by popular demand: Between 15:50 - 16:30 on the main conference day on 27th June we now have a session entitled: My favourite Xerte learning object(s) and why! This was a very popular session during our Xerte conference in 2016 so we are repeating this as the final session of the day this year. This is an opportunity for those who didn't want to deliver a full session but would like to quickly share what you are doing with Xerte or even what you have discovered or created during the conference. We will only have time for about 6 or 7 slots of 5 mins max each so if there is lots of interest we may need to use voting to select the order etc. Please add your title and summary via https://xot.xerte.org.uk/play.php?template_id=80#page8 If you are also attending the hands-on training day: Please remember to bring a laptop if you want to make the most of the training day sessions. If you can't bring a laptop then you might be able to sit alongside someone that has but you'll get the most out of the sessions by having hands-on access to either your own installation or the temporary access we will provide to Xerte X our special conference release. (see below) If you are planning on attending the developer day: If you haven't yet booked a ticket for that day please do so via https://xerte18.eventbrite.co.uk Xerte X https://xot.xerte.org.uk/play.php?template_id=92 This is a very special release being made available to conference delegates before anyone else. All training day and main conference delegates will be given access to a Xerte X installation during and for a short time after the conference. There are some fantastic and very significant new features on top of what was released in 3.6 and sessions during the conference which will demonstrate many of those new features. (see 3.6 and previous release notes via https://tinyurl.com/xertereleasenotes) We look forward to seeing many of you at what promises to be a fantastic conference and a real celebration of 10 years since the online version of Xerte was first released!
