Hi all, DebConf14 is nearly upon us! This week is the last opportunity we'll have to meet as a full team before people start arriving in Portland. If you are involved in DebConf organization, have questions about your responsibilities for the conference, or are interested in volunteering for DebConf and have been looking for an opportunity to get involved, please make the effort to attend one of these meetings - either the IRC meeting, or the local meeting. After Tuesday, there are no more global meetings; from there on out, it's just executing on the plan, until people start arriving on the 20th. And thanks to everyone who's been involved so far in getting DebConf14 off the ground. If you're like me, based on past years' conferences you may be waiting for the other shoe to drop - DebConf organization isn't supposed to go this smoothly, is it? ;) But at the risk of jinxing ourselves, I'm going to say that I don't think this is an illusion. No matter how closely I worry over the details, I continue to come away convinced that we're on track, and that this is going to be an awesome, and *low-stress* conference. How very Portland! ;) This is only possible because of the strength of the team we've put together. From record-breaking sponsorship, to solid boots-on-the-ground local volunteers, to our usual calling-them-"professional"-is-an-insult video team, and beyond, you can all be proud of the work you've done in pulling DebConf14 together. Just a little bit further now, and we'll be able to reap our rewards. In the meantime, here are the details for the meetings. IRC meeting: Tuesday, 12 August @ 1900 UTC (1200 PDT) Please add agenda items for this meeting here: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf14/Meetings#Global_meeting.2C_Tuesday_12_August_at_1900_UTC_.281200_PDT.29.2C_.23debconf-team.40irc.debian.org Local team meeting: Tuesday, 12 August @ 1830 PDT Lucky Lab 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd. Portland, OR 97214 Please add your agenda items for this meeting here: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf14/Meetings#Local_meeting.2C_Tuesday_12_August_at_1830_PDT.2C_Lucky_Lab_SE Thanks everyone, and here's looking forward to the best DebConf yet! -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
