I just forgot to note, after the banknote, which is our priority no. 1, couple of members from Sarajevo/past DC7 team, have expressed their willingness to visit Banja Luka to: 1. Meet up with local team from Banja Luka 2. Share their experiences from DC7 when it comes to accomodation/venue selection + help prepare the latest finesse in regards with selected Venue + chose accommodation. Since after last meeting in Sarajevo there's no more Sarajevo or Banja Luka team, it's all being counted as one team, on national level :) Adnan Adnan Hodzic wrote: > Last week was pretty busy for our team, we had a meeting in Sarajevo > where we've discussed many topics. > > First "gathering" was in a form of official meeting, while the second > "gathering" was in form of more unofficial meeting with "core" crew that > was part of DebConf7 Sarajevo team. > > You can see some of the pictures from our first meeting: > http://foolcontrol.org/img/sastanak_sarajevo_27_jan_2010/ > > + we have created a criteria that's going to be representing the > formation of the local team. > > + agreed to get in contact with all debian/ubuntu/lug from Balkan > region, and getting their words of "support" for this event to take place. > > + Formed a "banknote" that's actually represented in form of a > memorandum; understanding of mutual cooperation between team and govt., > financial support of 150.000 euros; usage of governmental buildings and > facilities; all in goal of realizing and hosting the DebConf11 > conference; etc ... > > I have agreed meeting with prime minister, and am currently waiting for > his response; this "memorandum" has been sent to govt. and it's > currently processing.
