Sounds like fun - count me in.
I'm a hobby-photographer, who unfortunately has too little time to take photos and needs far too long for post-processing. Always eager to try out and learn new things - so having lots of people around with lots of different experience is the place for me. For beginners I might have some useful hints and stuff, but for advanced people... well - lets see what a bit of creative talk will bring :)

A few years back Batian_Lion and me were holding a small SIG about photography. Our mission was to reach those "point-shoot-upload entire SD-Card" users and give them a little "guilty" feeling and give them some ideas about sorting and basic post-processing of images (tilt, crop, basic colour and lighting) - thing which you could do an a matter of few minutes and which would make about 90% of photos on the internet much better. Unfortunately (and maybe predictable) those people were not interested in the SIG,  so we ended up with some quite enthusiastic hobbyists - quite some levels above of what we were prepared for *g* It was fun anyway :)

Programming is Riffuchs' domain. He is also organizer of BerliCon which took place last weekend - so I think he was a bit busy with that :)

I got a reply from Riffuchs and they are interested in me running that panel ... so everything looks quite promising now. I updated the first post so there are no longer that many uncertainties in it.

Now its time to start a slightly more detailed planning

Unfortunately I will most likely not be able to attend the roundtable :(
I hope to meet you, neweinstein, somewhere/somewhen at the con though!

This sounds fun, and I'd love to attend! When's it scheduled?

I'll also be running a more lecture-and-exercise-style panel on photography, 4PM on Friday :)

I know ... because of your panel (which is 4PM on Thursday btw) mine got scheduled on Saturday (12:00 - 13:30) and not at the beginning like I requested.  ;D

It would maybe be good if we get in contact in advance so that we dont do things doubled. Do you have Skype?
