Lior also tol me he contacted various companies, but so far no positive response. 19:10:15 still waiting for a response 19:10:58 any more contacts in the queue? 19:12:55 The ones we mentioned 19:13:28 ok, thanks 19:13:54 Anything else on this topic? 19:13:58 Maybe publicity team could help looking sposors in "social media" 19:14:54 #link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Wadi 19:15:05 #link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_multinational_companies_with_research_and_development_centres_in_Israel 19:15:14 #link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_companies_quoted_on_the_Nasdaq 19:16:00 I've shared these with the sponsors team in December. Would be nice if you could go through them and see which ones seem worth contacting. 19:16:25 (esp while we can't really reach out more internationally until the Corona bans are lifted) 19:17:23 do you think we need to offer sponsorship that's conditional on travel restrictions being lifted? 19:17:36 (would it help) 19:18:39 sponsorship for attendees or the other sponsorship? 19:18:56 I mean packages 19:19:29 I think we'd refund sponsors anyways if we have to call off the conference 19:19:43 some may want to donate to Debian then but some will get their money back 19:19:58 so, not a current sticking point that tehy need assurance on 19:20:06 we offer perks in exchange and if we can't, we should not want to keep the money either 19:20:11 how much in down payment would we lose if we had to call it off soonish? 19:20:16 nah, we had one sponsor asking 19:20:26 zero 19:20:33 we don't have an approved budget atm 19:20:34 great, thanks 19:23:28 So you want anything out of this into the summary? 19:23:39 Or should we move on? 19:24:20 all good I think, let's move on 19:24:50 #topic Blockers for Registration Form 19:25:03 (Action item form last week) 19:25:06 #link https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc20/issues/14 19:25:59 I'm busy working on the fees bit of that 19:26:08 (factoring out the price settings from wafer-debconf) 19:27:05 I guess opening registration is not the most urgent topic currently, but it is great if we were ready. 19:27:26 I filled in most of the missing details (prices are there but see above) 19:27:57 Do we have a bursary team? 19:28:25 yes, and two people leading it for now, gwolf and myself 19:28:42 but I'm waiting for bremner to get us access to the git repos 19:29:00 OK. So remaining blockers are prices list and testing 19:30:15 do you have a plan how and when to get the prices? 19:30:47 DLange: hrm, bremner doesn't currently have owner access. We need highvoltage or olasd to grant it 19:31:04 DLange: we have them 19:31:07 (prices) 19:31:56 don't a few of us have owner access on the whole debconf group anyway? 19:31:58 tumbleweed: thanks, can you ping any of them? 19:32:05 terceiro: it's not under the debconf group 19:32:07 DLange: pinging 19:32:10 ah 19:33:09 thanks tumbleweed 19:33:33 terceiro: salsa permissions are additive, not subtractive, so when a smaller group is desired, one needs separate teams 19:33:33 tzafrir_laptop: do you have a plan how and when to get the prices? 19:33:50 As tumbleweed mentioned: they are there 19:34:03 The code to present them is not yet there. 19:34:21 well, hacky v1 is on my laptop 19:34:28 better v2 is busy being typed 19:34:31 https://deb.li/igdHd 19:35:30 So for next meeting we need that and testing the form, right? 19:35:42 ideally, later today 19:35:56 Even better. 19:35:56 let's not wait for next meeting 19:36:03 that's great, thanks tzafrir_laptop and tumbleweed 19:36:10 (although I suspect nobody is going to register for conferences atm) 19:36:30 registering in wafer-test is cheap. 19:36:39 and very much appreciated 19:37:15 Move on? 19:37:40 yes please 19:37:54 #topic Fulilment Team 19:38:15 Matanel has requested 5 conference bags and t-shirts, activity report including at least 5 pics, after DC20 19:38:45 What do we need to do about this for now? 19:38:53 yeah, we'd need a fulfillment team so such requests will be catered for 19:38:53 oh, sure they can have bags and stuff 19:39:08 i've dealt with some of this before 19:39:23 if the fundraising people can pass me a list of such requests, i can make sure that stuff is set aside 19:39:44 that sounds great, nattie 19:40:01 I started a list in debconf sponsors git, so karina, tzafrir_laptop and lior could be making sure the non-swag stuff is also catered for 19:40:18 (reporting requirements, other contractual obligations) 19:40:22 tzafrir_laptop: make me an #action to receive a list of requests for sponsor gifts? 19:41:03 I think you can #action yourself, not? 19:42:32 Is this an action for next meeting? If not: what's the point? 19:43:07 probably just so it is recorded 19:43:15 more than being set asid, you want to track those quantities for purchasing, too 19:43:34 #action nattie takes over setting swag aside and sending it to sponsors where requested 19:43:58 DLange, gwolf: You have access to the bursaries stuff now 19:44:11 #action one of the local fundraising team members would need to take over responsibility for the fulfillment (team) 19:44:18 awesome, thanks tumbleweed 19:44:46 Anything else? 19:45:19 not on this topic I guess 19:45:36 #topic Thank you to our Outreachy intern Anisa 19:46:16 Yes, your help was very much appreciated. 19:46:25 three cheers for Anisa! 19:46:26 Thanks! 19:46:42 thanks anisa! 19:46:44 Thank You Anisa for all the amazing work!
