[Debconf-team] January 23rd meeting



Hello!

We had a meeting today and *decided to switch to weekly meeting instead
of bi-monthly ones*. The next meeting will thus be on Monday January
23rd, starting at 15:30 UTC.

Here's the proposed agenda: http://deb.li/il9wc. Feel free to modify it
as you wish.

You can find the summary on the wiki
(https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17/Meetings/2017-01-16), but
here's the interesting part:

*Reviewing our timeline*

Timeline items were reviewed and we are a little late. We will try to
open registration around mid-February, but that involves working on the
website a lot more to have it ready

*Conference program*

Content team is not yet sure when they want to open the call for talk
proposal. They decided they want to make a call for people to coordinate
tracks to try to start moving.

*Visa and Bursaries teams*

Abdel said he'd like to lead the Visa team. Azeem proposed himself to
show him a few things.

As for bursaries, Bremner said he would not have time to lead this year.
A few names came up but nothing is sure yet.

*Catering*

The only thing left to do for catering at the moment is to review the
contract they sent us. This will be done soon.

*Venue*

Still playing a little with what exact rooms we need. Lavamind asked a
few things recently but has yet to hear back from venue management.

*Accommodation*

We did a mock classroom setup, took pictures and did a little video. You
can find some of it here:
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17/Accomodation

Lavamind is thinking of reserving 70 rooms at the Hotel soon since they
are putting a lot of pressure on us. Prices changed yet again and we now
only have 20 rooms at 159 CAD, other being jacked up to 169 and 179 CAD
(nicer rooms though).

*Website*

Lots of things to do. Tvaz will organise a registration sprint.

*Coordination*

We decided to switch to weekly meetings instead of bi-monthly.

Please update your KanBoard tasks if you have some and things changed.
