Part of Deb Conf local team 18:04:39 I'm Nattie, from my phone, and I'm only keeping half an eye on things. I also keep half an eye on things around debconf in general 18:04:40 I'm Stefano, from DC16, now committee + video + website 18:04:42 I'm Era from the Kosovo team 18:04:43 Arianit from Kosovo 18:05:09 Tzafrir, from around Haifa 18:05:13 Joost van Baal-Ilić from .nl 18:05:16 i'm Lenharo from Brazil. 18:06:15 OK, I guess we should start. 18:06:30 #topic Debconf21 tear-down: What remains? 18:07:16 Agenda mentions post-conf t-shirt printing. 18:07:34 nattiemh[m] 18:07:49 at the last meeting there was talk of doing a short t-shirt run for people who wanted extra t-shirts 18:07:51 I am still investigating, but it looks like a very small second print run 18:08:03 I'll have more concrete numbers later 18:08:06 do you have a rough estimate for the cost? 18:08:24 or number of things to be printed? so we can make a decision on the cost? 18:08:27 Sorry, didn't get to it today, but will report soon 18:08:46 Probably about 10 items 18:09:48 I can't recall the freewear item cost 18:09:55 #action nattie to report back on rough estimates for t-shirt costs 18:10:02 Sure 18:10:24 I think my class break is nearly over so I'll read back later 18:11:05 #topic #Debconf 22 website 18:11:33 so, I started a repo for the website 18:11:50 and got something minimial up at https://wafertest.debconf.org/ that you can look at 18:11:53 haven't got any feedback, yet 18:12:08 #link https://wafertest.debconf.org 18:12:09 it needs a logo + design + content to be fleshed out 18:12:46 Anyone working on logo and design? 18:12:48 but if you're happy with that, we can spin up debconf22.debconf.org now? 18:13:17 I think it would be good to get an official URL with dates etc. 18:13:24 even if it literally it just a placeholder 18:13:56 if nobody objects, I'll do that (with looking like wafertest.debconf.org currently does) 18:14:06 lgtm 18:14:26 whats the name for the design room? 18:14:54 on IRC? I don't think there is one 18:15:39 there is https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Design 18:15:52 #link https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Design 18:15:53 I think there's a group of designers on telegram 18:15:58 thanks 18:16:48 we should get things rolling then 18:17:11 this was my call for designs last year: https://lists.debian.org/debconf-team/2021/04/msg00020.html 18:17:50 hi 18:18:07 I wanted to simplify the website a bit but failed to find time so far 18:18:07 #link https://lists.debian.org/debconf-team/2021/04/msg00020.html 18:18:19 Also https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/20/Artwork/LogoProposals has (on the bottom) link to previous designs. 18:19:17 terceiro: does the work you want to do block deploying that site? 18:19:28 tumbleweed: no 18:19:48 I will probably have to port the css over, but I doesn't need to block 18:19:56 +1 18:20:18 I must look at the registration datepicker again, at some point, too 18:20:31 should we write put it on the agenda to discuss design stuff next time, or send a call for logo now? 18:20:36 once a call for design is made, i can help on getting it on twitter and other micronews platforms, vai publicity team 18:20:40 s/vai/via/ 18:21:19 EnkelenaH[m]: I think we should find somebody now to coordinate design, and they should put out a call ASAP 18:21:26 s/logo/visual identity/ 18:21:46 does anyone want to volunteer to co-ordinate design now 18:21:56 yeah, the logo is just part of it. You probably want to pick colours, fonts, etc. And make the website look unique 18:23:02 we sohuld also decide on a timeline for the call for proposals 18:23:05 I could do it but Im no designer myself. 18:23:12 you don't need to be 18:23:44 the purpose of this call is to find the designer 18:23:50 Then I'll deal with it until the next meeting 18:23:56 cool, thanks 18:24:41 #action EnkelenaH[m] to co-ordinate finding a designer/team 18:24:44 if you want the logo on the sponsorship brochure, then we probably need to get it done ASAP 18:25:15 Which brings us to the next topic 18:25:16 I guess you'd want it at some point, but probably not worth blocking on that 18:25:58 I should send a call tomorrow and lets see how it goes 18:26:09 sounds good 18:27:02 #topic Sponsorship brochure 18:27:21 as a start we have sent this one 18:27:23 https://salsa.debian.org/Enkelena-guest/dc22-kosovo-sponsorship 18:27:33 we need to put it on a different directory 18:28:06 and of course add the design stuff later, I randomly picked red. 18:28:20 Is there need for any other languages? 18:28:21 the brochure also already links to debconf22.debconf.org, maybe comment that out for now 18:28:48 Or is an English brochure good enough? 18:28:54 we'll get that spun up ASAP (debconf22.dc.o) 18:29:05 You have https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc22/ that you can work in as a team 18:29:12 we will make the Albanian version, if any other is needed let us know 18:29:16 If anyone in the team doesn't have commit access to that, please let us know 18:29:23 I would say Albanian suffices 18:29:35 ok, I'll add it there 18:29:37 Probably needs € prices? 18:29:48 yep 18:29:51 We often give a discount to local sponsors via a favourable exchange rate 18:29:58 I guess that won't work for € 18:30:16 we can print different prices on the Albanian version 18:30:18 not sure how we've dealt with that in the past 18:30:22 yeah, that works 18:30:25 or is that too difficult for the i18n 18:30:53 I guess the level numbers are carry-overs? 18:31:03 yes they are on this case 18:31:15 i left it as the Haifa one 18:31:29 Can we just use a sort of % discount that we are offering to Kosovan companies? 18:32:07 I guess that would also work 18:32:21 I don't think any global company would be outraged by that, it seems logical to do so 18:32:39 though I'm not sure how we handled this in the past 18:33:40 do we need to settle on something now, because you want to urgently send out the brochure to local companies? 18:36:05 Any comment on that? 18:36:32 Not now, November would be the month for invitation for sponsorship to local companies 18:36:43 ok 18:37:27 channeling DLange here, locking the levels and sending out the brochure to the big multi-national, returning, sponsors RSN would be important because they fix their sponsorship budgets well before the end of the year 18:37:44 but probably he mentioned that in one of the last meetings 18:38:18 and November is only ~3-4 weeks away 18:40:37 that will probably apply to the bigger local companies too 18:40:38 I think we should discuss this on the sponsorship room and come with the levels for the next meeting 18:41:03 if the levels aren't significantly different to now, I don't think you need to wait for a meeting 18:41:04 the level look sane to me 18:41:14 except s/USD/EUR/ 18:41:35 IME it's way more useful to start early than to have everything perfect 18:41:47 I guess we just convert them online and put the numbers? 18:41:52 yes 18:42:03 I would say just change the currency symbol 18:42:24 for reference, platinum at DC9 was 25k EUR 18:42:26 google says 1 USD = 0.86 EUR 18:42:45 and platinum at DC15 was 20k EUR 18:43:18 since DC15 we haven't changed the levels, just the currency symbol, I vote for just doing that again 18:43:29 +1 on that 18:43:41 +1 18:43:41 wfm I don't have a strong opinion on this 18:43:57 I'll edit that then, if needed we change it again 18:44:12 #agreed change sponsor levels to use EUR instead of USD (1:1) 18:44:24 not sure if we should drop the ethncic groups and religions lines 18:44:30 they don't hurt, but they raised my eyebrows 18:44:51 same here 18:44:53 just to clarify on the sponsorship, do we have limited spots or we can have as many platinum as many sponsors want that 18:45:07 valmirio[m]: historically, we did not limit it 18:45:10 or did we? 18:45:18 I'm not aware of us limiting it 18:45:29 but we never had more than 3 and usually 1 18:45:41 ok, dc20 was 4 18:45:54 I got that from the Haifa brochure, its more like an info. But no problem on removing it 18:46:12 I think removing it won't hurt 18:46:35 EnkelenaH[m]: but I think adding one sentence about how to get there (for sponsors that might want to attend) would be good 18:46:53 sure, thanks. 18:47:13 is that everything on sponsorship brochure? 18:47:49 I imagine some more detailed review will happen outside the meeting 18:48:22 People should feel free to write here or on the sponsorship room with suggestions 18:48:58 #topic Accounts for team members 18:49:33 has everyone sent their Salsa accounts to Dlange? 18:49:59 if not, please do ASAP :) 18:50:18 (everyone on a team that is) 18:51:03 will do 18:51:15 #topic debconf.org email 18:52:08 tumbleweed: I see debconf.org has an SPF record so I'm guessing this is complete? 18:52:20 and DMARC 18:52:55 it is 18:53:15 if people want their mailservers in debconf.org SPF / DKIM, they need to contact me 18:53:41 great, thanks 18:54:41 #topic Meeting schedule 18:55:28 do we want to keep the current frequent meetings until we've got design finalized and the brochure out? 18:55:36 last time we agreed the next meeting would be 1st Nov, i.e. 4 weeks 18:55:47 I propose we meet once again in two weeks time because of design and sponsorship 18:55:50 but as tumbleweed says, we could keep at every 2 weeks for now 18:56:55 anyone have any strong opinions for not continuing with 2 weeks for now? otherwise I suggest we do that 18:57:22 wfm 18:57:58 So next meeting is Oct 18th 18:57:59 #agreed continue with meetings every 2 weeks for now, next meetings 18 Oct, 1 Nov 18:58:32 #topic AOB 18:58:38 Any? 18:58:54 one thing 18:59:06 so, I've been working on DebConf Team documentation 18:59:15 I had some time and with a new team getting started, it seemed like a good time 18:59:31 Here's what there is so far: https://debconf-team.pages.debian.net/public/data/docs/index.html 18:59:43 #info https://debconf-team.pages.debian.net/public/data/docs/index.html 18:59:48 Here's the repo, with some outstanding MRs https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/docs 18:59:57 I intend to do more work on that in the coming weeks 19:00:36 #undo 19:00:36 Removing item from minutes: 19:00:37 looks great, thanks 19:00:37 Kosovo Local Team, please have a look and see if it's helpful / correct / missing things 19:00:45 #link https://debconf-team.pages.debian.net/public/data/docs/index.html 19:00:50 #link https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/docs 19:00:57 well, I know it's missing things, but maybe we should document things to cover as issues 19:01:36 👍️ 19:01:38 I will try and look at it too, as I wrote a load of notes and then only got half-way to turning them into docs 19:01:55 thanks! 19:02:12 👍️ 19:02:16 yeah, the hope is that this becomes something that the team maintains to help get new teams started 19:02:18 thanks for working on this 19:03:46 #endmeeting
