The only sensible seller seems to be Netgate (https://store.netgate.com/Turbot2.aspx ). 19:03:59 Heh, any time 19:04:44 I can do it, but that will mean extra border fees 19:05:27 maybe tumbleweed could do it since he's in the US and already has a bunch of opsises? 19:05:44 he does? 19:05:50 doesn't he? 19:05:52 Is it a US company? 19:05:58 there's one with paddatrapper, two with me and one with RattusRattus 19:06:11 hmmm, why do we need 5 then? 19:06:13 tumbleweed has one I think 19:06:26 We have 5 opsises in total 19:06:34 and we already have one turbot 19:06:51 We do? 19:06:55 yup 19:07:12 Awesome. Then we only need 4 19:07:31 a turbot appears to be some kind of fish 19:07:39 well, I guess I could buy them and bring them to Hamburg 19:07:51 highvoltage: minnowboard turbot SoC 19:08:06 thanks 19:08:32 the EU shop for the board sells them at 200 USD -_-, 19:08:42 sure 19:08:46 with VAT and duties paid 19:09:18 ah, maybe it's worth it then, not sure taxes are included on the US price 19:09:26 * highvoltage gives them bonus points for listing Debian above Windows, Ubuntu and Android on their compatibility list 19:09:49 pollo: the full price VAT included for four turbots from Mouser France is 772.61 EUR 19:10:19 And how much do we have approval for? 19:10:40 745 USD 19:11:15 596 USD for four boards :P 19:11:47 olasd: wouldn't it be worth while getting the cases too? 19:12:00 we're going to mount them in something else 19:12:03 (with the opsises) 19:12:04 ah cool 19:12:05 highvoltage: we are mounting them in our opsis cases 19:12:18 so we buy them via Debian Fr? 19:12:36 I don't know 19:12:43 but we should probably consider it 19:13:11 I'll try to mail netgate to estimate the taxes + shipping + border fees to Canada 19:13:17 sounds good 19:13:33 #action pollo to look at complete pricing to turbots to canada 19:13:46 #topic Hamburg mini-debconf 19:13:55 We have to decide what to do with regards to the audio hardware for the Hamburg mini-conf. 19:14:06 Our current audio kit doesn't work reliably enough to be used there. We thus have 2 options: 19:14:10 rent some 19:14:19 or buy the audio kit we've been talking about 19:14:46 olasd: weren't you saying that the wireless receiver we wanted was hard to get in France? 19:15:01 well I couldn't find a distributor at all, actually 19:15:13 We could buy some (mixer, stage box) and rent mic receivers 19:15:22 the mixer we already have 19:16:00 RattusRattus and I were looking on the Shure website, so hadn't started looking at suppliers... 19:16:08 sorry, I'm in another meeting atm 19:16:14 olasd: I thought the current kit was too unreliable to use? 19:16:29 I don't have tons of time, so I think we should try to get some gear from the CCC instead 19:16:30 fledermaus bought a mixer for us during the Cambridge miniconf 19:16:37 it's at Rattus's 19:16:45 Ah awesome 19:17:03 pollo: sounds good 19:17:26 sure 19:17:41 #action pollo to poke holger about getting mics from the CCC 19:17:51 I figured we could probably buy the hardware if the logistics were solved before this meeting, but as nothing happened... 19:18:04 talking about that mixer, we need to retrieve it somehow 19:18:17 Are there speakers at the venue? 19:18:21 I tried to use lamby as a mule but that didn't work, so I guess we'll need to have RattusRattus ship it 19:18:24 paddatrapper: yeah 19:18:35 well RattusRattus has free time to come to the miniconf now 19:18:40 doesn't he? :P 19:18:51 (wink wink nudge nudge etc.) 19:19:09 I'm guessing he quit his job :p 19:19:22 anyway, can someone take the task of following up with him on this? 19:19:42 I'm happy to 19:19:44 as I'm the recipient, I will 19:19:49 saves us some trouble 19:20:00 #action olasd to follow-up with RattusRattus to get the mixing desk 19:20:28 goot, anything else on the Hamburg mini-conf? 19:20:43 pollo: we need to figure out how to get you there 19:20:47 mics from ccc or mics from the venue.. 19:20:48 but we can do that off meeting 19:20:49 taking the place? 19:20:50 but yeah 19:20:52 plane 19:21:02 aren't you landing in Paris? 19:21:08 olasd: nope, I leave from Paris 19:21:12 oh, I see 19:21:34 somehow getting from Hamburg and back is as expensive as getting to Taiwan... 19:21:36 anyway 19:21:38 anyway, we can see that off-meeting 19:21:40 * nicoo is late :( 19:21:43 #topic Preparations for DC18 19:21:51 #info The DC18 local team tested the venue's projectors for us and it seems we will be able to use them. 19:22:01 good 19:22:31 Mixers also look like they will be fine. Just need the headset mics and mic stands 19:22:42 And maybe snakes 19:22:44 6 x headsets microphones (they only have clip-ons) & 4 x mic stands 19:22:52 I'm not taking snakes on a plane 19:22:55 ;p 19:23:02 we are going to use our mics for the ambient, thus the 4 stands 19:23:12 Keep them in the hold and all is good :) 19:23:23 * nicoo is caught up with the backlog 19:23:36 4 mics doesn't divide cleanly into 3 rooms 19:23:48 2 in the int'l and 1 in each other 19:23:55 Cool 19:24:07 I think the next step is to get plans of the rooms? 19:24:18 I can spend the week after next drawing up equipment lists, etc 19:24:48 pollo: we have those don't we? At least for one room (not sure which) 19:24:56 I haven't seen them 19:24:57 we'll need to find/rent SDI cables and computers for mixing as well 19:25:06 (video mixing) 19:25:23 and a bunch of pairs of headphones 19:25:26 #action paddatrapper to come up with the equipement rental list 19:25:33 Do we have the BlackMagic cards? 19:25:37 yeah 19:25:46 I have all 7 of them 19:25:54 Awesome 19:26:08 #info as of now, we need to rent 6 x headsets, 4 x mic stands, SDI cables and headphones.
