(the bureacracy needed I mean) 19:02:56 maxy: yes. we are almost there. 19:02:58 bremner: it meant "i thought i could not make it, but i did make it" 19:03:06 #topic Website status 19:03:10 _rene_, you have the floor 19:03:26 sur5r: yes, madduck's summary was pretty much perfect 19:03:51 21:07:55 -!- idle : 0 days 0 hours 5 mins 31 secs [signon: Mon Sep 15 03:33:46 2014] 19:03:54 <_rene_> well, it's there, it has the dates, it will be updated with whatever comes up. Actually I have no idea why this is a separate topic now that summit is out of it, but... ;) 19:04:12 Can we use the white background by default? 19:04:22 Where are we? What's pending? Who's doing it? 19:04:23 the white background bug is gone, /me notices 19:04:30 <_rene_> yeah 19:04:35 * azeem still thinks we shouldn 19:04:43 the white is a tad overly bright, but way more friendly than the black/red imo 19:04:48 maxy: for a start, the logo needs to be inverted 19:04:58 the black logo right now is fugly 19:05:00 on white 19:05:12 if you feel strongly, maybe you can propose something? 19:05:13 madduck: that could be faded in to 19:05:26 i can try to gimp something, but no promises made 19:05:38 other than the default colour, we're all reasonably happy? 19:05:45 <_rene_> valessio fixed it a few mins before the talk in Portland :) 19:05:48 i suggest we keep it as is for now until we have two alternatives, and then vote 19:05:53 't have #000000 and #ffffff as colors, but oh well 19:05:53 we have the dark logo from the brochure? 19:05:56 I don't know, we still have no content to add it. 19:06:00 I believe that if polled the general opinion would be that the white background version is less harsh on eyes. 19:06:16 Ok, then maybe we make a poll to be certain? 19:06:18 then we need it fixed 19:06:31 maxy: other than random news like "we started the sponsorship drive", what content do we have? 19:06:38 so maxy and RichiH, can you be in charge of this, and coordinate with _rene_ and valessio? 19:06:55 <_rene_> we also could enable the feed maybe 19:07:09 <_rene_> when there's someting sensible in it of course 19:07:12 s/could/should/ once we have content 19:07:13 RichiH: we could possibly start adding information about the venue 19:07:14 right 19:07:15 madduck: and if maxy and me don't do it, maxy can poke us! 19:07:16 We could add the sponsorship brochure, or at least mention it. 19:07:16 wait... 19:07:27 <_rene_> (commented out, like much things, like visa, sponsorship brochure, etc.) 19:07:37 Who volunteers for doing the poll regarding which one is the default? 19:07:39 we can link to the video of presentation of debconf15 in debconf14 19:07:42 <_rene_> which can be added when that one's officially official :) 19:07:51 maxy: yah, linking the brochure along with a blurb that we started sponsorship and if people know potential sponsors, they should tell us or forward the brochure 19:07:53 larjona: great idea! 19:07:54 * larjona just watched it two hours ago 19:07:55 maxy: yup - a download would be great 19:08:07 #idea Add the DC15 talk somewhere to the website 19:08:22 #idea Make a poll regarding which background to use as default 19:08:22 unless people will think we can't figure out tech stuff, like projectors and resolutions 19:08:32 <_rene_> heh 19:08:41 #idea add a news item about sponsorship drive starting and either sending potential sponsors our way or to forward the brochure 19:08:55 So, who's doing this stuff? 19:08:56 RichiH: eh, no_ 19:09:11 sponsorship is later in the meeting, so let's not jump to conclusions 19:09:12 I need target to poke about things, so you need to say I'll do this. :) 19:09:14 the minutes say: Sponsors should not be contacted without first coordinating with the team. 19:09:21 but we can forward the brochure anyhow? 19:09:25 It needs to be coordinated with fundraising, but it can be done. 19:09:28 cts_: no. 19:09:28 21:10 < azeem> sponsorship is later in the meeting, so let's not jump to conclusions 19:09:31 <_rene_> and what if sponsors contact *us*? 19:09:31 azeem: idea != agreed 19:09:36 21:10 < azeem> sponsorship is later in the meeting, so let's not jump to conclusions 19:09:39 <_rene_> by reading the website? 19:09:49 azeem: :) 19:09:50 <_rene_> there's a "Become Sponsor" there... 19:10:10 <_rene_> ("stolen" from DC14) 19:10:12 This should be coordinated with fundraising team, nothing more. 19:10:19 But we still need volunteers. 19:10:30 There's a lot of people around... :) 19:10:32 I can write some lines to add the DC15 talk somewhere to the website, but I think other person should review and actually update the site 19:10:44 I'll send the proposal to the list ok? 19:10:48 larjona: sounds good 19:10:56 <_rene_> larjona: jup, sounds good 19:10:57 larjona: it could be a DC15-specific blog entry, which would be the first to show up in the RSS 19:11:04 ok 19:11:04 I think you can assign the "news item" to sponsorship team.. I can be placeholder for now. I'll make sure it's on the sponsorship-team agenda for next meeting. 19:11:04 #agreed larjona to take on adding the DC15 talk to the website somewhere. 19:11:37 #agreed bgupta (or someone delegated by him) to add sponsors news item to the website 19:11:41 And the poll? 19:11:48 larjona: maybe CC the debian news people when sending the draft; they may improve it and/or push it to other channels 19:11:50 can we just email -team and ask? 19:11:59 If we need poll software, I'm out. 19:12:09 Well, someone needs to be in charge and using dudl or the like should be easy enough 19:12:15 I vote for no discussion on the list but just a simple poll. 19:12:16 marga: let maxy do that, even though he's the poker. He brought it up. 19:12:22 Ok 19:12:37 #agreed maxy to bring a poll to -team regarding default colors 19:12:38 Hi 19:12:43 I think it's better than we blog, and after that, we can add some lines in the next DPN linking to the blog 19:12:49 I still don't get it - why shouldn't there be a download link for the brochure? 19:13:00 larjona: yes. Let's talk about this after the meeting and I can help point you in the right direction. 19:13:06 ok 19:13:16 jmux: fundraising has not yet started, but will any day. *Then* we can 19:13:21 #topic Summit status update 19:13:22 We just need to wait for the team now. 19:13:26 summit… 19:13:27 The agenda contains links to the TODO list and notes from the summit meeting at DC14. If you have feedback or stuff for the TODO list, please feel free to edit. 19:13:30 I can pull some of the past copy we sent announcing fundraising efforts as a starting point. we've gotten in dpl bits, and dpn.. 19:13:37 #info Summit is the new registration/attendee system that was used for DC14 instead of pentabarf, it uses Django and Python 19:13:47 #link https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Summit#TODO 19:13:56 #link http://gobby.debian.org/export/debconf14/bof/summit 19:13:59 There will probably be a summit dev team soon, and if you are interested, let the chairs know. 19:14:02 Once the team started, there will also be a proposal about the future of the website integration. 19:14:09 * PSU Integration 19:14:14 yeah, remove it. 19:14:17 the TODO it needs cleanup post-DC14 19:14:23 any questions on summit? 19:14:25 PSU integration - hah 19:14:53 madduck: will we have a non-d.o, non-alioth SSO? 19:14:58 Any Django masters that would like to help there? 19:15:02 madduck: a generic "try to coordinate with the video team early-ish; they are not sure what system they will use next year, but make sure they know it'll be summit for registration" 19:15:17 azeem: enrico wanted to look into making this process better, but the gist is: no, alioth will stay 19:15:31 I didn't mean to throw out alioth 19:15:31 RichiH: CarlFK will be on the summit team, see the notes about the controller 19:15:46 just a third one for people not already on either 19:15:47 azeem: please talk to enrico about this. 19:16:16 .oO( Facebook/Google/Twitter sign-in ) 19:16:19 what's wrong with these people registering an alioth account? 19:16:30 if there's a problem with the alioth integration we should fix that, not just present more options 19:16:40 +1 19:16:46 tokkee: doubtful that Debian would go as far as accepting a SYN from there ;) 19:17:05 madduck: the video team was not very happy that CarlFK's infra ran on ubuntu, but that's for next year, i guess 19:17:09 Is there a summit team? 19:17:19 I think enrico is the point of contact for SSO, and if he is busy, then vorlon. 19:17:19 How can be the cleanup of DC14? 19:17:23 madduck: I wasn't serious ;-) 19:17:31 vorlon: ack 19:17:32 maxy: there will be. If you are interested, please let the chairs know. 19:17:33 post-DC14 I mean 19:17:53 vorlon: alioth is scary-ish to newcomers and everyone registering with alioth may be a bit spammy wrt user names 19:17:59 madduck: didn't zobel do some work on SSO as well? 19:18:09 and if you have a problem with the alioth integration, tell me. 19:18:12 RichiH: the complaints about this don't appear to originate with the alioth team 19:18:13 jathan: the first thing we plan to do is push as much upstream as possible, then clean up, then move on 19:18:26 RichiH: as for it being scary, I'm happy to help figure out how we can streamline it 19:18:37 RichiH: please feel free to propose an alternative to enrico, let's not discuss this here and now in the limited time we hjabve 19:18:41 well, if everybody is fine with alioth, so am I 19:19:05 #topic CCC and FrOSCon dates 19:19:07 The last we heard, CCC seemed very likely to fall in the middle of DebConf which is very very unfortunately, they hadn't yet finalized dates, so I asked for people with contacts to resort to begging, are there any news about this? 19:19:07 Ah ok, thank you 19:19:11 So, summit-team means "Debconf people maintaining some sort of fork" or "Debconf people working on summit upstream"? 19:19:33 tokkee: ideally, the latter. Please take this up with vorlon post-meeting. 19:19:37 i can clarify on the dates for the camp 19:19:45 and? :) 19:19:46 manuel, are they set? 19:19:46 marga: what does 'in the middle' mean? 19:19:58 azeem, there were two options and both were very bady 19:19:58 oh, nm 19:20:01 bad 19:20:08 manuel: go on… 19:20:35 last i heard, they are pretty much settled. i know someone of the core orga, we have regular contact via a different project. 19:20:41 i'll ask her 19:20:49 Ok, but do you have them? 19:20:52 i assume it will be 12–16 aug from what I heard 19:20:52 when..? 19:21:08 sur5r, you were the one in charge of the begging, if I recall clearly 19:21:25 madduck: this is also the last i heared. i'll check and report back. 19:21:28 Is there an order in the items agenda? 19:21:36 * Electing a "poker" 19:21:36 * Verein status 19:21:36 * Website status 19:21:36 * Child care at DC15 19:21:36 * CCC and FrOSCon dates 19:21:37 * DC14 final report 19:21:37 due to time zones, this will be a day or two ;) 19:21:39 * Budget (looking for volunteers) 19:21:41 * Fundraising (looking for volunteers) 19:21:42 https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Germany/Minutes/2014-09-15#Agenda 19:21:43 * Airline partnerships 19:21:45 marga: not exactly 19:21:45 * General schedule format 19:21:47 * Time slot lengths 19:21:49 * Day trip (looking for volunteers) 19:21:51 * Conference dinner (looking for volunteers) 19:22:03 i said there is no need for begging 19:22:04 jathan, please don't do that.
