We have few beds free 18:04:26 <XTaran> cate: Isn't that a problem if we get more volunteers? 18:04:31 <gaudenz> cate: we still have quite some communal accomodation, don't we? 18:04:37 <hug> questions? 18:04:38 <nattie> we're offering upgrades, and people generally seem to be either "yes, please!" or "actually, can i bring my tent?" 18:04:41 <gaudenz> hug: 30k surplus that is, right? 18:04:46 <cate> XTaran: on communal accomodation no 18:04:51 <XTaran> cate: Ah, good. 18:05:06 <hug> yes, if we don't add more sponsored people. 18:05:07 <cate> DebCamp: the communal accomodation is nearly empty 18:05:24 <h01ger> cate, so its single rooms after all? ;) 18:05:39 * h01ger hides a bit 18:05:55 * nattie spots h01ger because of his hair 18:06:02 <cate> h01ger: not rally, but less people than some other rooms ;-) 18:06:03 <nattie> anything else for registration for the moment? 18:06:18 <gwolf> Should DebCamp be more prominently promoted? 18:06:32 <XTaran> cate: So the communal accomodation is the new single room? ;-) 18:06:36 <gwolf> If we will end up with a mostly-empty DebCamp, it will become an expensive set of days 18:06:43 <h01ger> nattie, pfft 18:06:44 <gwolf> (then again, it's quite late to do travel plans) 18:06:45 <nattie> folks, stay focused, please 18:06:49 <cate> I think we have 40 people in DC 18:07:03 <cate> https://penta.debconf.org/stats/only-reconfirmed/rooms-by-date-2.txt 18:07:04 <gwolf> cate: Do you remember +- how many of them are orga? 18:07:15 <gaudenz> cate: just an idea, I'd like to offer a free night from friday to saturday for those volunteers that can help with talk room setup. How much space do we have? 18:07:29 <h01ger> only, cool. so the fears of DC going overboard have not become true.. 18:07:43 <cate> h01ger: to many campers! 18:07:50 * h01ger likes gaudenz idea 18:07:53 <gaudenz> Because I fear a bit that we don't have enough people to help on saturday to setup everything. 18:08:10 <gaudenz> because people arriving on saturday will mostly arrive too late. 18:08:17 <nattie> gaudenz: is that something penta has to deal with, or more in the realm of front desk? 18:08:18 <cate> gaudenz: for me it is ok 18:08:40 <nattie> if we're offering people free nights, do we just adjust their dates manually, i mean? 18:08:47 <gaudenz> It's more that we have to fit these people into debcamp accommodation as we don't have the full le camp for that night. 18:09:08 <gaudenz> nattie: I think that's the way to do it technically in penta. 18:09:17 <h01ger> can we agree we generally want to do this and leave the details for after/outside the meeting?! 18:09:20 <nattie> what kind of numbers are we talking, anyway? 10, 20? 18:09:29 <nattie> fair enough 18:09:31 <h01ger> <10 i guess, rather 5 18:09:36 <nattie> last call for registration questions 18:09:45 <gaudenz> I'd be surprised by more than 10, certainly not more than 20. 18:10:05 <cate> we can have 30-40 people more 18:10:09 <nattie> #topic team roundtable - talks 18:10:10 <h01ger> #agreed offer a free night from friday to saturday for those volunteers that can help with setup. 18:10:28 <h01ger> (not sure if my #agreed worked. nattie,please do "#save" so we can check...) 18:10:33 <nattie> #save 18:10:37 <h01ger> thx 18:10:54 <nattie> #agreed offer a free night from friday to saturday for those volunteers that can help with setup. 18:11:00 <nattie> i'll put it in for good measure 18:11:05 <nattie> right. talks. tiago? 18:11:10 <h01ger> #info #agreed offer a free night from friday to saturday for those volunteers that can help with setup. 18:11:12 <cate> talks: https://penta.debconf.org/stats/dc13-talks-data.txt 18:11:25 * gwolf has been mostly missing (well, after all, I *did* say I would be on VAC... And you know, network access in Canada is not as good as at home ;-) ) 18:11:32 <gwolf> but tiago has put up a *LOT* of work in this regard 18:11:41 <gwolf> (and pressured me during my brief connection times) 18:11:44 <tiago> not much to say about talks, everything is ok 18:11:49 <gwolf> ...So there is a published pre-schedule 18:11:53 <gwolf> oh, there he is :) 18:11:58 * h01ger cheers tiago - indeed, happy to see a schedule a month in advance. wh00t. 18:12:11 <nattie> we see, we appreciate! yay 18:12:18 <cate> tiago just sent a preliminary program to speakers 18:12:19 <gwolf> tiago: Did you get Ganneff to publish the non-authenticated scheudle which was b0rken? 18:12:22 <tiago> Ganneff has setup the static html pages auto-generating.... 18:12:29 <gwolf> perfect! 18:12:56 <tiago> https://penta.debconf.org/penta/schedule/dc13 18:13:03 <nattie> three cheers for tiago's hard work! anything else for talks? 18:13:14 <tiago> ah 18:13:17 <tiago> we need an announcement 18:13:18 <gaudenz> tiago: is that ready to be linked from the website? 18:13:21 <tiago> blog post? 18:13:26 <gaudenz> Or would you prefer to wait a bit? 18:13:39 <nattie> aren't there a few last-minute tweaks going on? 18:13:44 <tiago> gaudenz, i'll ping you in the right time 18:13:53 <tiago> we're doing last adjustments based in requests 18:13:56 <tiago> a few 18:14:00 <nattie> #agreed schedule will be announced shortly 18:14:07 <tiago> one or two days we have it ready to be announced 18:14:08 <nattie> #info preliminary schedule is already up 18:14:17 <tiago> that's all i think 18:14:18 <nattie> last call for talks 18:14:19 <nattie> cool 18:14:26 <nattie> #topic team roundtable - network 18:14:28 <XTaran> Less from the network and more from our local server infrastructure during DC13 18:14:31 <XTaran> TK won't sponsor hardware this year, and they told one of us 4 months after the request while the recipient was on holidays. So we actually noticed it just last week... 18:14:39 <nattie> #topic team roundtable - network and servers 18:15:03 <XTaran> Luckily our ($WORK) local hardware supplier offered us two big servers for DC13. 18:15:23 <XTaran> I'll add them to the infrastructure sponsors on the website after the meeting. 18:15:36 <XTaran> Work on network will continue afterwards. :) 18:16:05 <nattie> any other news? 18:16:10 <XTaran> Details how we use them will be discussed by h01ger and me in the week before DebCamp 18:16:14 <XTaran> nattie: Nope. That's it for today. 18:16:18 <nattie> thanks :) 18:16:23 <nattie> #topic team roundtable - video 18:16:38 * h01ger thanks XTaran for all his work 18:16:56 <h01ger> as he said, we will meet before debcamp and prepare and discuss stuff in person 18:17:11 <h01ger> video team still planing for 2 rooms. 18:17:20 <h01ger> no further news. next, please 18:17:25 <gaudenz> I reserved the two audiosystems Le Camp has, both are with XLR, one has a mixer, the other has portable microphones, so audio should be good for 2 rooms too. 18:17:30 <nattie> #info two rooms with video 18:17:37 <h01ger> cool, thanks, gaudenz! 18:17:51 <nattie> #info sound will also be good in these rooms 18:17:55 <gaudenz> I also reserved their two projectors, so we have projectors for the talk rooms, 2 more would be cool for the bof rooms. 18:18:28 <nattie> ok. is that all? 18:18:29 <h01ger> neato 18:18:46 <h01ger> gaudenz, else ask on debconf-discuss@ for people to bring projectors? 18:19:06 <nattie> #topic team roundtable - bar 18:19:10 <heiserhorn> I sent an update on the list today 18:19:15 <nattie> any news on the bar? 18:19:20 <nattie> heiserhorn: *nods* saw it 18:19:27 <heiserhorn> I think we need an announcement for volounteers 18:19:39 <nattie> #info heiserhorn sent an update about the bar to the -team list 18:19:40 <heiserhorn> for the moment we are only 4 ppl 18:19:47 <nattie> #info more bar volunteers are needed 18:19:48 <h01ger> heiserhorn, combine this with the inventory/price announcement next week? 18:19:49 <gaudenz> heiserhorn: yes now that camping is sorted this is next on my todo list. 18:20:08 <h01ger> (the call for volunteers) 18:20:11 <heiserhorn> h01ger: yes that is my idea 18:20:15 <gaudenz> h01ger: yes 18:20:16 <h01ger> :) 18:20:24 <nattie> #agreed call for bar volunteers to be combined with inventory/price announcement 18:20:25 <heiserhorn> and set up a wiki page to subscribe 18:20:35 <nattie> #save 18:20:46 <gaudenz> heiserhorn: I'd prefer to look for volunteers for all areas, not just the bar. 18:20:58 <gaudenz> I'd avoid that different teams compete for volunteers. 18:21:15 <nattie> gaudenz: oh, i'm sure various teams will put out announcements, and people can choose as they wish 18:21:22 <heiserhorn> gaudenz: fine for me, we will need a coordinated call 18:21:28 <gaudenz> We also need volunteers for evening dishwashing, front-desk, talkmeister, .. 18:21:47 <nattie> it won't hurt to mention it in the announcement that volunteers are needed 18:21:57 <nattie> anything else for the bar? 18:21:59 <gaudenz> nattie: If possible I'd like to avoid exactly that. 18:22:08 <heiserhorn> nattie: nope 18:22:09 <nattie> ok 18:22:14 <nattie> #topic debian day 18:22:15 <h01ger> voluneets for all areas is better indeed. this video team also still needs helping hands... (will still do an extra call for those hands, but there should be a notion that any volunteer can+should help everywhere where needed) 18:22:19 <rafw> I suggested to cancel debian day because I have no time to allocate to this project. Also I think that debian day is different for gaudenz h01ger or me. I am not sure we talk about the same think. 18:22:57 <gismo> FWIW after private discussions I share rafw's opinion 18:23:10 * h01ger thinks we must not let this opportunity pass. which means: somehow combinding debianday, party + 20th birthday 18:23:25 <moray_> I already said I agreed with cancelling a separate Debian Day. 18:23:28 <h01ger> rafw, gismo: can you explain reasons? 18:23:41 <rafw> we could do a big party in Le Camp and invit people. 18:23:42 <moray_> On the other hand, I have said for a long time I think we should try to combine something with the birthday. 18:23:54 <rafw> h01ger: sure 18:23:55 <gismo> h01ger: Debian Day, as far as I witnessed them, is not the Debian Day we are organizing 18:24:12 <h01ger> rafw, yeah. and call that and some talks "debian day" 18:24:15 <gwolf> The ocassion is very good, but we must focus it quite differently from "historic" DebianDays 18:24:20 <h01ger> <rafw> we could do a big party in Le Camp and invit people. 18:24:25 <gwolf> as they have never been a huge success (and that'd be an overstatement) 18:24:37 <gwolf> A DebParty would be very nice to have 18:24:56 <gismo> moray_: we actually discussed that in the last F2F meeting 18:25:01 <nattie> gwolf: what, you claim that a giant roomful of RS officials isn't a huge success?! ;) 18:25:02 <h01ger> <gismo> h01ger: Debian Day, as far as I witnessed them, is not the Debian Day we are organizing - häh? you ment: is not the day you want to organize? i'd agree with that, we shoudl do things differently 18:25:15 * gaudenz prefers the party at le camp over a debian day somewhere else with our current resources. 18:25:17 <cate> h01ger: is it possible to organize a party connected to other debian parties? 18:25:22 <nattie> so do we agree that we are changing the format of debian day? 18:25:24 <gismo> h01ger: no, it is not what I would call "Debian Day as part of DebConf" 18:25:43 <rafw> well, first we targeted general people, second we have been told to target IT professional. Now, I suggested to cancel the event in Neuchâtel. 18:25:57 <gismo> h01ger: then, effectively, I am no interest in organizing a party (and I stated that in the last F2F meeting, and there is already another team for that) 18:26:18 <gismo> h01ger: s/I am no/I have no/ ;-) 18:26:40 * h01ger thinks of "a trick" if you want to call it that: select some "better talks" and/or ones better suited for a broad audience (during a day) _and_ have a party. _label_ both, together as "debianday celebrating debians 20th birthday" (plus party) 18:26:53 <hug> I'd prefer to keep debian day (if held) separate from a party. 18:27:00 <h01ger> tl;dr;: put party + talks for everyone under _one label_ 18:27:03 <moray_> h01ger: yes 18:27:04 <cate> h01ger: yes, I think we need also to invite SI people to talks 18:27:05 <hug> and let rafw organize a great party :-) 18:27:16 <moray_> h01ger: also in this case it is not a problem if we don't get many additional people coming to it 18:27:27 * gaudenz is not sure if we should put even more load on rafw 18:27:28 <moray_> h01ger: whereas a separate debian day can be a big waste of effort 18:27:28 * h01ger thinks we should really mostly let other people organize the party, so that we can focus on all the rest. better for us and the party :) 18:27:29 <gismo> JFTR: are we sure we can organize *public* events in LeCamp? 18:27:41 <rafw> hug: :) 18:27:44 <nattie> so, just before i put this in - we are planning to cancel the even in neuchatel, and putting talks and a celebration on as "debian day" at le camp? 18:27:49 <XTaran> cate: "SI"? 18:27:51 <h01ger> well, it could all be on friday the 16th IMO 18:28:04 <h01ger> or party on friday, public talks on saturday, due to weekend 18:28:07 <gismo> nattie: yes 18:28:14 <cate> XTaran: one sponsor, AFAI understood from previous discussion. Not sure how it spells 18:28:27 <XTaran> cate: Ah, ok 18:28:48 <nattie> #agreed the proposed "debian day" even in neuchatel is cancelled 18:29:02 <nattie> #agreed a new proposal for debian day is to combine talks and a celebration at le camp 18:29:05 <gaudenz> XTaran: schweizerische informatik gesellschaft www.s-i.ch 18:29:06 <nattie> good? 18:29:07 <h01ger> moray_, yes, we need to make a plan which will also work if only 10-20 external people come - which i think is on the realistic lower end, with the realistic high end maybe being 42 extra people 18:29:22 <XTaran> gaudenz: Ah, like GI in Germany. :) 18:29:25 <h01ger> nattie, looks right to me :) 18:29:33 <nattie> anything else about debian day for the moment? 18:29:37 <h01ger> yes 18:29:42 <nattie> ok, proceed 18:29:51 <h01ger> 16 or 17th 18:29:58 <nattie> the actual birthday is 16th 18:29:59 * gaudenz fears that the party will also not magically happen, who is interested in helping organize the party? 18:30:04 <h01ger> the official birthday is the 16th, but that doesnt mean we have to celebrate on that day 18:30:07 <nattie> i think the 17th will be stressful as that's the last day 18:30:20 <h01ger> we could easily move the offfical party to the 17th, hoping for more external people 18:30:22 * gaudenz prefers the friday for the party 18:30:29 <hug> I think madduck was interested in organizing it. 18:30:34 <gwolf> h01ger: if party is on friday, people that stay for the party won't come on Saturday 18:30:35 <nattie> h01ger: after the closing ceremony? 18:30:36 <moray_> yeah, 16th sounds better than 17th I think 18:30:37 <gaudenz> I think friday evening is fine for external people. 18:30:38 * XTaran prefers Friday evening, too. 18:30:41 * cate too. I would also help organizing the party 18:30:45 <h01ger> gaudenz, as said: i think we should ask for party organizers on -discuss and -project 18:30:50 <heiserhorn> I prefere friday. is less close to the end of dc13 18:30:52 <nattie> i also prefer friday evening 18:30:55 <moray_> I think we will get party volunteers a lot more easily than dishwashing ones :) 18:30:56 <gwolf> h01ger: IMO the party should close the public-minded talks if at all 18:31:03 * XTaran thinks more people would come on Friday evening, thinking of it as "Usgang" 18:31:06 <h01ger> friday evening is fine for external people for party 18:31:11 <h01ger> but for attending takls in the day? 18:31:12 <gwolf> But I'm not sure if a set of talks is... really interesting for $world 18:31:26 <gaudenz> depending on what kind of party we want, we have to organize this before debconf. 18:31:38 <moray_> h01ger: as you said, we shouldn't expect/plan for a huge number. Friday is better for some people anyway 18:31:45 <gaudenz> and if we want external people, we have to advertize it soon. 18:31:56 <moray_> (even for the day I mean: some people are busy with family commitments on a Saturday, etc.) 18:32:01 <rafw> Shall we invite our sponsors as well ? 18:32:19 <XTaran> gaudenz: We should at least announce it on community@l.d.c 18:32:26 <h01ger> gwolf, i believe the systemd talk is interesting for quite some people. freedombox too. blah. 18:32:28 <hug> rafw: I think this depends on the event. 18:32:41 <gaudenz> rafw: good idea (inviting sponsors) 18:32:51 <gwolf> h01ger: Yes. Blah. But that's not DebianDay-like 18:32:54 <nattie> i prefer friday strongly - by saturday evening we'll be busy thinking about teardown 18:33:07 <gwolf> those are DebConf talks by people outside the project 18:33:08 <hug> rafw: would you organize the party? 18:33:20 <XTaran> h01ger: systemd could end in a mud battle. ;-) 18:33:23 <gwolf> Also... I don't like the idea of telling tiago, "nice schedule, now redo it from scratch" 18:33:29 <rafw> nope, i cannot, Must focus on daytrip. 18:33:32 <XTaran> h01ger: freedombox is definitely a very good target 18:33:39 <rafw> +1 18:33:47 <h01ger> gwolf, /me cries. really, i'm so saddened by your (plural) lack of immagination esp. about changing debianday for the better... lets just say it makes me wanna cry 18:34:02 <gwolf> h01ger: I have long advocated disappearing DebianDay 18:34:09 <gaudenz> h01ger: would you help me organizing the party? 18:34:12 <gwolf> h01ger: I see it as a time sink 18:34:19 <h01ger> gwolf, yeah. that saddens me 18:34:21 <gwolf> A party is due and am sure that can be important 18:34:28 <gwolf> But I would not tie it to a set of talks 18:34:37 <gwolf> and even less on the *next* day 18:34:41 <gaudenz> party = party plus talks if we want, how exactly would be up to us. 18:34:52 <gwolf> If at all... I'd put some nice, general-minded talks on the evening before the party 18:35:03 <h01ger> gaudenz, yes, i would send a mail to -discuss and -project and ask for people to do it as i'm too busy to play a key role in that. and i'd happily do stuff *at* the party. 18:35:08 <moray_> gwolf: I thought that was what was suggested above. 18:35:13 <nattie> should we maybe hold off on this for a moment, discuss more out of the meeting, and bring the results to the next meeting? 18:35:24 <gwolf> moray_: what was suggested as I read was to have the party on Friday and the talks on Saturday 18:35:24 <rafw> Friday afternoon talks, then eat something and party! 18:35:26 <tiago> I wouldn't touch the debconf talks schedule .... 18:35:29 <h01ger> gwolf, i think the idea is to have these "debianday"like talks on friday, not saturday 18:35:40 <moray_> gwolf: I didn't understand that anyone wanted that. 18:35:43 <h01ger> so people can come early to the party and get some talks 18:35:50 <gwolf> h01ger: ok, that's a bit better, so I read wrong the Saturday thing 18:35:55 * gaudenz is not sure if organizing this completely outside of debconf-team will not end in more work for us in the end. 18:36:03 <h01ger> though there is dinner in between, which probably then should open to outside people 18:36:06 <gwolf> But anyway, please listen to tiago 18:36:11 <nattie> gaudenz: outsourcing organisation is a bad idea. 18:36:35 <gwolf> I don't think it's fair to change their work so deeply after they put so much time in it 18:36:38 <nattie> at least in certain instances 18:37:01 <gwolf> *and* there are some time constraints (i.e. h01ger says about the systemd talk - The author will only be some days with us) 18:37:02 <tiago> we can even have a full room schedule on friday for debian day, and ask Debian people to add NEW talks, not to move the current ones 18:37:03 <gaudenz> nattie: isn't that what I said? 18:37:09 <cate> gaudenz: IIRC on the first meeting of local team, there was a huge interest organizing parties ;-) 18:37:26 <nattie> gaudenz: i was just agreeing with you 18:37:37 <gaudenz> cate: I'm completely fine if less active people in the local team organize the party. 18:37:56 <tiago> BoF room 1 is completely free on friday 18:38:13 <gaudenz> I just think that looking for the main organizers on debconf-discuss won't work as expected. 18:38:20 <cate> gaudenz: so let one week to find extra volunteers for party (and a first program) ot be discussed next week 18:38:25 <tiago> (sorry, on satuday, or friday afternoon) 18:38:38 <gwolf> Anyway... /me goes for lunch 18:38:42 <gwolf> o/ 18:38:45 <moray_> I don't think talks are strictly necessary for a Debian Day, but at least one or two generic ones would be nice 18:38:50 <gwolf> sorry to leave the meeting midway through:( 18:39:09 <nattie> there's already a community outreach track talk on friday late afternoon 18:39:11 <tiago> gwolf, arepas! 18:39:19 <gaudenz> I propose we find someone interested in working on this and delegate the task how to do party/debianday exactly. 18:39:24 <nattie> yes 18:39:27 <gaudenz> I'm willing to help, but not alone. 18:39:32 <nattie> hopefully there will be more to report next week 18:39:32 <gwolf> tiago: nah, that requires me to go 3000Km further South :) 18:39:37 <nattie> any more comments before i change the topic? 18:40:14 <cate> nattie: next topic 18:40:15 <tiago> nattie, anything decided about debian day? 18:40:39 <h01ger> gaudenz, debconf-discuss is not where the main organizers hang out. these are on debconf-team. -discuss is this place for everybody. 18:40:41 <tiago> gwolf, ah, what a great vacation 18:40:49 <nattie> tiago: er... tbd. i'll wait out more details at the next meeting 18:41:10 <gaudenz> nattie: can you summarize what we agree upon (=party on friday, maybe talks) 18:41:11 <h01ger> gaudenz, oh, you probably ment "main party organizers"... (not "main organizers"...) 18:41:30 <gwolf> :) o/ 18:41:31 <gaudenz> h01ger: exactly 18:41:31 <tiago> could we decide about touching or not schedule? 18:41:40 <nattie> #agreed debian day will be held friday 16 august, with a party in the evening possibly preceded by some talks 18:41:43 <nattie> right 18:41:48 <nattie> #topic banners 18:41:51 <gaudenz> tiago: how bad would it be to change the schedule from your pov? 18:41:54 <nattie> who's dealing with banners? 18:41:55 <tiago> I'm still working on it and can't keep working if it risks to be changed 18:42:01 <XTaran> nattie: OdyX IIRC 18:42:18 <XTaran> nattie: Or wait, what kind of banners? 18:42:19 <nattie> XTaran: OdyX's not here, man 18:42:20 <cate> how many banners do we need? 18:42:25 <gaudenz> tiago: we can discuss that after the meeting. 18:42:30 <nattie> we don't need many. two at most? 18:42:37 <nattie> no, three 18:42:38 <tiago> gaudenz, too bad, it's a lof of work, too many variable, requests etc etc, each change implies in many changes 18:42:39 <rafw> nattie: more i think 18:42:46 <tiago> gaudenz, ok 18:42:49 <XTaran> nattie: For the talk stages? 18:42:50 <gaudenz> I propose to skip banners 18:42:58 <moray_> we promised them to sponsors, surely? 18:42:59 * h01ger notes we havent discussed about the dinner constraints on the 16th, but i guess thats fine for next week when some more people have realized ;-p 18:43:07 <nattie> ok, one at le camp entrance, one at fd, one at each of the stages? 18:43:20 <moray_> the stages are the only ones that matter 18:43:27 <XTaran> moray_: +1 18:43:34 <moray_> others aren't really that helpful/necessary, unless we now promised those too 18:43:36 <nattie> ok, we're fluctuating between 2 and 4 18:43:37 <rafw> gaudenz: +1 18:43:46 <cate> on the other places, a generic Debian flags is enought 18:43:49 <nattie> ok. two are absolutely necessary 18:43:50 <nattie> yeah 18:43:57 <moray_> cate: well, the whole site is Debian anyway 18:44:00 <XTaran> cate: OdyX is caring about flags. 18:44:10 <XTaran> nattie: We have flags for visibility from the outside. 18:44:13 <XTaran> +will 18:44:22 <rafw> e)Logo on banner in conference lobby (G/P) 18:44:56 <rafw> so minimum is 4 banners (2 talks room + 2 in conferenc lobby) 18:45:15 <XTaran> nattie: So forget the thing about banners and OdyX. I mixed it up with the flags he plans to order or has ordered 18:45:16 <gaudenz> rafw: why 2 for the lobby? 18:45:16 <cate> DO we have a conference lobby? 18:45:29 <nattie> i didn't realise we had one 18:45:35 <gaudenz> cate: not really, but we can just define that the server room is the conference lobby ;-) 18:45:40 <XTaran> cate: Maybe "vielle poste"? 18:45:45 <nattie> hey, front desk likes banners 18:46:20 <cate> nattie: you get only the piraten flags of h01ger 18:46:33 <cate> next topic? 18:46:43 <gaudenz> I propose to have 3 banners, 1 for each talk room and 1 in a central location (like front desk, or outside in the middle of le camp. 18:46:46 <rafw> gaudenz: I think we should put a few banners arround as described in our sponsorship brochure. One is ok. 18:47:10 <cate> rafw: banners or posters? 18:47:13 <XTaran> Front desk would be good for a banner, yes. 18:47:14 <gaudenz> nattie: can you info or agreed 3 banners? 18:47:27 <nattie> #agreed we will have 3 banners 18:47:44 <rafw> cate: banner. 18:48:11 <nattie> anything else about banners? small details should be discussed outside and summarised next week 18:48:16 <h01ger> we also have one nice wheezy banner from the events team (but we surely need dc13 banners too) 18:48:30 <XTaran> nattie: We don't have someone ordering them yet, right? 18:48:33 <h01ger> next please 18:48:38 <h01ger> XTaran, seems right, bah 18:48:42 <nattie> i thought we said that was OdyX 18:48:49 <moray_> I'm sure we'll have the regular "Debian" banner etc. brought too 18:48:54 <nattie> he's not here today, we can volunteer him ;) 18:48:55 <XTaran> nattie: Sorry, my fault.

I have send a first program to the list. 18:49:55 <h01ger> moray_, <bikeshedding>if we need to print anyway, we can as well add the dc13 logo and not just the sponsors logos</bs> 18:50:04 <h01ger> gismo, please do + thanks 18:50:05 <gismo> cate: is don coming? 18:50:06 <rafw> I will work tomorrow on it, probably full day. 18:50:08 <nattie> hello? i've changed the topic 18:50:19 <h01ger> rafw, do you need input from that mail? 18:50:28 <h01ger> i seem to recall you do and it was urgent.. 18:50:30 <cate> gismo: it seems no 18:50:41 <rafw> yes, can you confirm that it is what you want ? 18:50:45 <moray_> h01ger: I can bikeshed more back, but I don't think we're disagreeing on anything 18:50:48 <hug> rafw: do you need additional money than what's in the budget now? 18:50:53 <h01ger> kids, please keep nattie a happy chair and stay on topic 18:51:04 <gaudenz> h01ger: ++2 18:51:19 <rafw> hug: i think it will be fine as long as we don't eat on the boat. 18:51:24 * h01ger looks up rafws mail about daytrip 18:51:34 <h01ger> or shall we move on, everything clear(ed) about daytrip? 18:51:51 <gaudenz> rafw: If we need some more money I think we have it, as said earlier. 18:52:12 <nattie> anything more for daytrip that can't wait until next week? 18:52:13 * gaudenz thinks that the daytrip idea is fine 18:52:19 <h01ger> next topic then? 18:52:26 <nattie> cool - we'll have some more details next time 18:52:27 <moray_> I'd agree with the previous post that more options makes things difficult, but I also don't want to try to interfere as I'm sure a good solution can be found 18:52:31 * h01ger would like to close in 7m, its summer and still nice outside 18:52:32 <rafw> ok will carry on that way. 18:52:35 <nattie> #topic dishwashing and cleaning 18:52:43 <nattie> question one: are the contracts signed? 18:53:18 <rafw> yes and no: We have signed a contract with 3 employees for dishwashing. 18:53:19 <gaudenz> afaik the dishwashing contract is signed. 18:53:20 <h01ger> anything we need to discuss here or is all clean and tidy and on its way and we can move on? 18:53:32 <rafw> not for the cleaning company. 18:53:45 <nattie> #info dishwashing contract is signed: 3 employees 18:53:46 <h01ger> whats holding back cleaning? 18:53:49 <gaudenz> h01ger: I think we should at least delegate the question about the cleaning frequency to rafw. 18:53:52 <nattie> #info cleaning contract is not yet signed 18:54:09 <nattie> ok, next week we can catch up about cleaning 18:54:16 <rafw> h01ger: There will be not contract. 18:54:19 <moray_> for the details, I (still) advocate discussing them with the company 18:54:26 <rafw> sure 18:54:26 <nattie> #topic t-shirts 18:54:30 <moray_> who probably know more about how much can be done in the time than we do :) 18:54:38 <nattie> sorry, folks - have to do this... zügig 18:54:41 <h01ger> so whats holding back cleaning? whats left to do there? just define the frequency? (and this decision doesnt involve costs?) 18:54:57 <nattie> who's doing t-shirts? i have a feeling it's OdyX which means we don't have an update 18:55:02 <h01ger> nattie, its fine if we do up to 30m overtime ;) though better if not 18:55:19 <moray_> t-shirt numbers were sent off 18:55:20 * h01ger believes t-shirt order has been sent and moray should know more/better 18:55:25 <gaudenz> moray_: if I'm not mistaken that's exactly the point, they told us that doing everything with 3 persons every day is not possible. 18:55:34 <moray_> I discussed them with odyx and they were received by our favourite printer 18:55:43 <nattie> #info t-shirts have been ordered 18:55:49 <nattie> have we paid already? 18:55:50 <gaudenz> hug: did you receive the t-shirt invoice and is it already paid? 18:55:51 <moray_> so, unless there were more messages I haven't seen, things are on track 18:55:53 <rafw> h01ger: I just need to finaly email that company. I also need from you the confimation that 3 person for 3 hours per day is not enough to celean everything. 18:55:56 <hug> nattie: t-shirts ordered and I paid them from my account because postfinance doesn't support mxn pesos 18:55:57 <h01ger> as thirts are fine+being_done should we go back to cleaning after shirts?

18:57:32 <nattie> hug: schnell ;) 18:57:33 <nattie> ok 18:57:47 <nattie> #topic participant info / faq 18:57:51 <h01ger> lets discuss frequecy+cleaning under AOB as nattie says... 18:57:59 <nattie> #agreed postponing FAQ to next week 18:58:10 <nattie> #topic ideas for spending more money 18:58:21 <nattie> #topic ideas for spending extra money 18:58:23 <nattie> sorry 18:58:44 <hug> we drop bar profit to make drinks more affordable 18:58:45 <gaudenz> I propose that we order the full meal for 1/2 of the time and that le camp will provide us with an "average" 18:58:48 <nattie> the proposals are lunch, reducing bar profit, and shuttled to/from neuchatel and yverdon on arrival and departure dates 18:58:51 * h01ger thinks the topic is silly 18:59:00 <gaudenz> As discussed during our visit there and like I explained on list. 18:59:01 <h01ger> "other useful stuff" is a fine topic 18:59:10 <rafw> gaudenz: +1 18:59:15 <rafw> h01ger: i aggree 18:59:35 <nattie> right. i think that, too, can be discussed next time 18:59:42 <nattie> after out-of-meeting discussion 18:59:47 <nattie> #topic AOB 18:59:49 <h01ger> and i also think we shouldnt do busses 18:59:54 <gaudenz> We have to inform le camp a bit in advance, but next week is still ok 18:59:54 <nattie> h01ger: now you can let loose on cleaning 18:59:57 <moray_> h01ger: not even magic ones? 19:00:00 <h01ger> so AOB as in cleaning 19:00:01 <cate> We need to choose the badges soon IMHO 19:00:05 <gaudenz> h01ger: I agree about the buses 19:00:06 <hug> yes, nothing is urgent. except maybr debian part budget 19:00:09 <h01ger> moray_, i knew you could bikeshed! :) 19:00:11 <cate> [especially if we don't find in CH] 19:00:36 <h01ger> i'm fine to let rafw discuss the frequency if that stays within the known and agreed costs 19:00:45 <h01ger> then, its yay and EOT for me :) 19:00:51 <gaudenz> and the bar team needs to know if they have to make 5k surplus to do their calculations 19:00:58 <h01ger> though i have to admit i dont know if thats the case 19:00:59 <nattie> #agreed let rafw discuss the frequency if that stays within the known and agreed costs 19:01:02 <gaudenz> Anyone disagrees with not making any profit on the bar? 19:01:02 <moray_> I would like rafw to discuss with the company, yes 19:01:09 <moray_> not just to discuss within the team 19:01:20 <nattie> i think that's all stuff that can be summarised next week once it's been discussed and implemented 19:01:25 <gaudenz> moray_: This is something that come form the company. 19:01:27 <nattie> does anyone else have anything new to say? 19:01:30 <cate> gaudenz: no, I think bar should make small profit 19:01:35 <h01ger> gaudenz, can you please remove the double negation from taht question? 19:01:37 <hug> gaudenz: I think we should not require a surplus from the bar team. 19:01:38 <cate> or we are doing only for Le Camp 19:01:53 * gaudenz agrees with hug 19:01:53 <moray_> gaudenz: ok, good, it wasn't clear above if they were in the conversation 19:01:56 <h01ger> "everybody agrees we make profit at the bar"?! -> no, then i ask profit for whom 19:02:11 <heiserhorn> i'll do calculation with no profit then 19:02:15 <gaudenz> h01ger: ? 19:02:19 <moray_> trying to make a profit sounds like it will lead to arguments 19:02:30 <nattie> don't we have to share the bar profit? 19:02:41 <h01ger> gaudenz, "profit" for us is a good idea, while profit for us is stupid, like is too much profit for le camp 19:02:43 <heiserhorn> well we have to pay lecamp 19:02:44 <XTaran> nattie: IIRC we do have. 19:02:45 <hug> and we need to allocate some money for the Debian birthday party 19:02:53 <h01ger> i know we cannot make profit, so i said "profit" 19:03:14 <hug> otherwise it'll be difficult to find someone to organize it. 19:03:17 <gaudenz> the price we pay to le camp is fixed per item (see heiserhorn mail) 19:03:25 <nattie> i think we should keep drinks affordable, but that's just me 19:03:26 <h01ger> (ie by making the beer prices 2.7 CHF and informally asking people to donate the 0.3 CHF change to debian etc) 19:03:42 <cate> like the US taxes ;-) 19:03:43 <heiserhorn> gaudenz: not for food (is 30% of gains) 19:03:44 <h01ger> gaudenz, so what was your question about profit? 19:03:44 <XTaran> h01ger: Thanks for the explanation 19:03:50 <cate> h01ger: +1 19:03:55 <nattie> h01ger: like a "tip jar"? 19:04:06 <gaudenz> h01ger: to remove the 5k income from bar profit from the debconf budget 19:04:08 <h01ger> nattie, yes. 19:04:22 <gaudenz> so that the bar can have lower prices because it does not have to contribute to the overall budget. 19:04:24 <h01ger> gaudenz, why would we want to do that? is income bad? 19:04:29 <h01ger> ah 19:04:40 <hug> h01ger: yes income is bad 19:04:43 <hug> '-) 19:04:58 <nattie> anything else? 19:05:01 <h01ger> i think we should differate: less profit for non-alcoholic drinks eg 19:05:05 <gaudenz> and another point is that if we have a surplus we won't get the money from the canton .ne 19:05:07 <hug> we need to pay taxes on it if we have too much of it. 19:05:08 <nattie> i'd like to close relatively on time 19:05:13 <moray_> (if they are donating change, can we make that a donation independent of the debconf budget...?) 19:05:26 <h01ger> and if we have the budget, i dont think we need the bar to crossfinance debconf 19:05:31 <gaudenz> moray_: yes I think we should 19:05:36 <rafw> gaudenz: this is not what I discussed with them. 19:05:42 <h01ger> if there is a small surplus its always good to donate + keep money 19:05:43 <XTaran> h01ger: +1 19:05:43 <gaudenz> h01ger: so we agree ;-) 19:05:51 <hug> h01ger: exactly 19:05:52 <gaudenz> nattie: can you agreed that ? 19:05:57 <heiserhorn> I will propose prices with no gain (except what we have to give to LeCamp) and prices with gain 19:06:05 <nattie> gaudenz: let me formulate correctly first 19:06:14 <h01ger> +make soda more expensive then juice (=rather add profit there then with juice ;) 19:06:24 * h01ger happily leaves those details to the bar crew 19:06:34 <nattie> so, we're agreeing to keep profits as low as possible?
