I was thinking 2 weeks. 10 days is close enough 14:17:54 2 weeks is too ling 14:18:06 Friday July 14? 14:18:13 yes 14:18:15 olasd: if paypal is up today 14:18:24 $paypal + 10 days then 14:18:51 #agreed confirmation deadline will be $paypal_integration_date + 10 days 14:19:26 lavamind: with the latest pulls you should now be able to filter for special needs on the admin interface 14:19:39 for food & accomm 14:19:42 ok still on the registration desk, we need to check whatever extra info people put in their registration records 14:20:06 #info lavamind to review special needs attendee records 14:20:38 the room assignments team is sort of mia, now news from them 14:21:20 before assigning indfividuals to specific rooms I think it's that teams responsibility to shuffle people between rvc, residences and the hotel 14:21:40 because, let us rememeber, we are about 30% overbooked onsite 14:22:07 closer to 50% even 14:22:28 onsite max is 136 ppl.,rvc_single 31, rvc_double 20, hotel 4 14:22:42 nattie said she could start to attend meetings, but alas... 14:22:48 on-site capacity is ~90 14:22:51 rvc ~80 14:23:02 so we'll need to put some people at RVC 14:23:09 lavamind, which team? 14:23:10 and I don't think we really have time to ask... 14:23:16 tvaz: room assignments 14:23:28 ok, it's basically nattie and i? 14:23:36 anyone else? 14:23:42 I think ana, but not sure 14:23:43 as a self paying attendee I don't mind an upgrade :P 14:23:45 ok 14:23:56 nattie, can you lead that? 14:24:04 is rvc strictly an upgrade? 14:24:12 not really imho 14:24:18 it comes with some travel 14:24:24 and no A/C 14:24:31 but privacy. 14:24:32 but you have a single room, dc16 style 14:24:35 ack 14:24:39 only hotter 14:24:46 A/C was very good in dc16 14:24:48 it's a bedding upgrade :p 14:25:03 anyway, afaict we have only 2/10 otel rooms occupied 14:25:27 so, that's also to consider 14:25:37 lottery? 14:25:40 lavamind: maybe we can put the extra ppl that asked for double rooms at RVC there? 14:26:04 pollo: we have 9 double rooms at rvc, 9x2=18 14:26:15 so yeah 14:26:19 1 couple 14:26:45 the DebConf accommodation lottery 14:26:50 +1 14:26:53 moving on 14:27:39 next topic pls 14:27:48 #topic Volunteering system 14:27:58 abdelq: are you here? 14:27:59 cate ? 14:28:02 Not much to say 14:28:06 Still following schedule 14:28:29 Pushed what I have done to date on the volunteers branch 14:28:40 will keep working on it and updating it 14:28:44 is it in a working state ? 14:28:51 models and admin, yes 14:29:06 cool so, progress :) 14:29:08 #info work being done on the volunteering system 14:29:26 * lavamind presses red button 14:29:28 so, no integration of the fosdem system? 14:29:47 Can't really integrate it like that 14:30:13 fine 14:30:33 I'm mostly editing it to fit wafer 14:31:11 I'll look at the code and shut up 14:31:18 #topic Venue & accommodation 14:31:55 for the venue 14:32:33 confirming the extra 12 classrooms for accommodation for 13 days brought up the bil 12k CAD 14:32:46 the final deposit has been sent out 14:33:00 #action pollo to add new income from new classrooms to ledger 14:33:01 everything else, we'll discuss July 30 14:33:23 if need need to add more rooms, ex. for OD, we'll know July 30 14:34:04 we still don't have numbers of attendees per day at DebCamp 14:35:08 this should be fixed ^ 14:35:11 :\ 14:35:29 yep 14:35:36 tvaz: wafer smutz 14:35:45 #info we don't know the numbers of attendees per day during DebCamp 14:36:08 that will come in handy to make adjustments to the spaces, if needed 14:36:13 and food 14:36:21 yes and food! 14:36:31 ah, maybe not, we have a proper filter for food 14:36:45 so job fair? 14:37:00 yes job fair 14:37:01 DLange: how many sponsors said they'd participate? 14:37:26 four so far 14:37:50 my opinion is still that the best time for the job fair is on the 6th 14:38:16 that would be the Sunday after Open Day 14:39:28 the best day is the day with most attendees on site (from a sponsors' perspective). So if that's the Sunday ... fine. 14:39:51 Sunday 14:40:17 I'd say from 14:00 to 15:30? 14:40:21 I think the DC arrivals will more than exceed OD attendance, seeing as we have done nearly zero promotion for it so far 14:40:41 I'd make it 2hrs. So 14:00-16:00 for example. 14:40:56 pollo: I would go for 11-13 14:41:06 rigth after the opening ceremory 14:41:08 lavamind: that's in the middle of lunch 14:41:10 then everybody will priorize lunch 14:41:18 lunch starts at noon 14:41:39 still not good to collide that 14:41:48 Sure, so what you propose is effectively a 11:00-12:00 job fair 14:41:50 I'd rather collide with that than with talks 14:41:53 doesn't send a good message to sponsors about the value of their time 14:42:08 we said we don't do talks in that time frame 14:42:17 +1 14:42:41 I don't think we can afford so shave off such a big chunk of prime talk schedule realestate 14:42:45 we don't have too many talks currently anyways. At least from what I understood from the content team, we still look good. 14:42:52 People can still have informal meetings if they want 14:43:51 gwolf said he'd have a tentative schedule ready, iirc 14:43:56 ack. Let's make it two hours and outside of lunch. So Sunday, 6 Aug 14:00-16:00? 14:44:20 Anyone against ^^ ? 14:44:46 I'm still not convinced 14:44:51 but whatever 14:45:18 if we *have* to change the time it won't be *too* bad, at least itll be on the same day 14:45:28 so yeah, fine, go 14:45:45 DLange: I'll be the one on site making this happen 14:46:00 AFAIK we only need tables and a few other things 14:46:02 * lavamind is a bit concerned only 3 people have an opinion on this 14:46:08 #agreed Sunday, 6 Aug 14:00-16:00 job fair. Pollo is local organizer. 14:46:27 great, I'll tell sponsors then and make sure you're in the loop 14:46:38 Anything else wrt to registration? 14:46:47 we'rte in venue & accomm 14:46:52 Oops 14:46:54 for accom: yes 14:47:08 I just got a reminder from RVC, they want the rooming list 14:47:28 I've been stalling the hotel manager who requested it 2 weeks ago 14:47:39 so far I haven't received any threats :s 14:48:25 I would ***really*** help to be able to commint to at least a *number* of hotel rooms we want to keep 14:48:29 why the hell do they want a rooming list (I know it's in the contract)? 14:48:41 so that I could start to negotiate ASAP 14:48:41 they're making DebConf pay for $foo rooms 14:49:02 olasd: not everyone arrives/leaves at the same dates 14:49:26 we don't want to pay for unused nights for people who arrive 1 or 2 days info DC 14:49:35 s/info/into/ 14:49:53 for the hotel, I don't think we need 10 rooms 14:50:01 but maybe 6? 8? 14:50:15 each room we get to cancel frees up 1.2k CAD 14:50:57 I see 14:51:01 what's the bad side of committing only 6? 14:51:18 we have 4 people in wafer with $hotel set. So add the ones you know about and cancel the rest of the rooms? 14:51:54 DLange: that adds up to 2 rooms, and I can't figure out their full names, wafer won't say 14:52:22 I guess I can find these for you. I'll get them after the meeting. 14:52:28 the others, the room assignment team needs to look it 14:52:35 into it 14:52:56 are we going to have enough places at rvc for moving people from insite accomm? 14:53:11 tvaz: yes 14:53:54 tvaz: but we need the room assignment to be done asap 14:53:55 so I'd go on cancelling most of hotel rooms then, keep only those 2 and *maybe* one or two more 14:54:20 I'm comfortable attemtping to cancel 50% 14:54:50 pollo, yes, but we can close this thing by having only a few rooms at the hotel 14:54:53 #agreed, we'll only keep 5 rooms at the hotel 14:55:06 as backup for those unable to move away to mcgill 14:55:26 it's a matter of emptying buffer for lavamind 14:55:27 ok I'll coordinate with assigments 14:55:48 anything else? 14:56:05 nope 14:56:19 * lavamind thinking 14:56:26 btw, I'll free my local accomm request 14:56:47 tvaz: did you find a bed close by ? 14:57:17 lavamind, I'll ask a friend, if that won't work I'll volunteer to stay at rvc 14:57:24 ok 14:57:38 #topic Content 14:57:50 I've only had time to have a quick look at the talks for Open Day 14:57:57 I'll try to get a schedule by wed 14:58:01 gwolf is on vacation, he won't work on the schedule 14:58:22 azeem seems to have started work on it, unclear 14:58:36 pollo: I can help for the OP schedule 14:58:41 * highvoltage catches up 14:58:50 let's meet up tonight or later for that 14:58:55 lavamind: sure 14:59:35 afaict, the content team's cry for help was met with deafening silence, except for pollo taling on OD 14:59:46 so, not impressed :/ 15:00:10 hopefully we'll have a schedule beofre debcamp?
