The talks team had a meeting on #debconf-team this evening. Thanks to everyone who showed up. meetbot summary (and links to logs) are here: http://meetbot.debian.net/debconf-team/2010/debconf-team.2010-05-26-23.07.html I wanted to raise two distinct issues with the broader debconf team from our meeting: Scheduling and Plenaries. 0) Scheduling The current understanding is that scheduling accepted talks is not explicitly the purview of the talks team (though members might well volunteer for that task) -- However, the only mention of scheduling on the Teams wiki page is in the talks team section. We currently have no one explicitly volunteering to do the dirty work of scheduling once talks are accepted. Is anyone interested in acting as Scheduler? Does anyone with experience from scheduling past debconfs have advice to offer? 1) Plenaries There was quite a bit of discussion about having a select few events scheduled with no other concurrent events. We are calling these "Plenaries" for the moment. If we decide we want to have them, we might run into a bit of a space issue, as the larger of our two talks rooms only seats 200 people. The video team can set up the smaller talk room as a spillover area with live video, though. Do we want to have Plenaries? If so, how often? One per day is the most anyone has proposed so far. It's not clear that anyone wants to do away with the concept entirely, though (e.g. zack's Bits from the DPL seems to have general support as a Plenary). Do other debconf organizers feel strongly about this? Thanks for your feedback, --dkg
