[Debconf-team] April 25th meeting summary / Next meeting 10 May 19 UTC
Hi,
This is a summary of the April 25 meeting on #debconf-team. The next
meeting is 10 May 19 UTC.
* Registration
- Right now we have 203 people registered, 136 requesting a room, 62
debcamp
- There is a proposal for extending sponsored registration so that
debconf can be advertised via talks at two more conferences. It
would be ten days or so extension.
* Budget
- Gov will pay vedors directly, excluding the DIVA step for its
sponsorship. (DIVA will still handle other bosnia-local money)
- Because of this plan, gov can't pay travel sponsorship (unless we
make some additional special request).
- DIVA letter was returned
* Decide how much travel sponsorship to have this year
- Due to the new uncertainty about the budget (gov money not
counting for travel sponsorship), we can't make a decision now.
- Not much activity on the fundraising front (help!), Adnan will
start contacting local sponsors soon.
* Access lists for SPI/FFIS
- Without the peolpe in charge of these accounts around, we couldn't
decide much... darst and nattie, at least, can have ffis view
access for registration purposes. moray/holger/gwolf can
authorize spending money?
* t-shirts
- No one had any concrete plans (and nothing had been announced on
the lists), so we couldn't decide anything. But people would like
to decide on a design sometime.
- About 2700 EUR including shipping for 400 shirts from our usual
mexican provider
* day trip
- Again, with no concrete proposals, we can't say or decide much.
- Emphasis on having just one trip, not two, and having it be
accessible.
* special dinner - or not
- No concrete plan, can't decide anything
- If gov will pay, we can afford it
- Special note: not in any conference room, taking down and putting
up video equipment is too difficult and risky.
* Buses - can we fulfill the promises organizational-wise?
- Where all will they pick up from? How often? What dates? All
open questions, though we are told will look at arrival
information.
- Someone (not adnan, too much else to do) should look into these things.
- We will work on it later.
* Next meeting, May 10th, 19 UTC
