16:07:22 <Lenharo[m]> Hello!!!
16:07:26 <pollo> thanks for chairing
16:07:33 <CarlFK[m]> hi!
16:07:43 <olasd> we'll see :P
16:07:50 <EnkelenaH[m]> hi
16:08:24 <olasd> #link Agenda: https://storm.debian.net/shared/dsKlpRI7m4Nf4pEe-S-TkrByZdpjCmQ3NDQ6yFVn0Wt
16:09:20 <olasd> let's give tumbleweed and paddatrapper a minute to see if they'll show up :-p
16:10:08 <olasd> #topic 2. DebConf Planning
16:10:14 <olasd> #topic 2.1. Audio Hardware
16:11:04 <pollo> I think I saw a link from paddatrapper about this?
16:11:44 <pollo> ah no, it was Lenharo[m] asking questions
16:12:02 <olasd> EnkelenaH[m]: were you able to provide paddatrapper with the measured room dimensions?
16:12:20 <wouter> o/
16:12:24 <wouter> sorry I'm late
16:13:16 <EnkelenaH[m]> I really forgot. But I have some hand made schemes here, I can just send an email
16:13:26 <olasd> yeah, that'd be good
16:13:50 <olasd> #action EnkelenaH[m] to send room schematics annotated with dimensions by email
16:14:20 <olasd> #topic 2.2. Network
16:14:48 <olasd> I understand there was a meeting with IPKO about this, and tumbleweed & EnkelenaH[m] got details on all the setup plan
16:15:12 <pollo> from the backlog, it seems we will need to run our own cables and routers
16:15:23 <pollo> but will have great uplinks?
16:15:46 <EnkelenaH[m]> I dont think we need to run routers
16:15:47 <paddatrapper> Sorry I'm late
16:16:30 <paddatrapper> We need a network for video between the various rooms, so we'll have to run our own for that
16:17:19 <olasd> well we don't really have to have everything on the same L2 network. it's just very convenient
16:17:55 <pollo> considering voctomix just accepts unauthenticated packets...
16:18:21 <pollo> at least it would be nice not to be on the same LAN as the wifi
16:18:24 <paddatrapper> And we can do it for the rooms in same building fairly easily
16:18:26 <olasd> voctomix can run on a private in-room network anyway
16:18:49 <olasd> from your discussion earlier I'm still a bit confused by the layout of the network, but I don't think anything is intractable. a diagram or three would help
16:19:06 <EnkelenaH[m]> whats the email for your team?
16:19:18 <wouter> debconf-video@lists.debian.org
16:19:58 <olasd> (and it seems that the video team is drafted as the network team, which is a bit "meh" as we usually have enough things to do. but I'm sure we'll be able to draft people to help on the spot)
16:21:04 <pollo> maybe it would be nice to send a mail on dc-announce about this?
16:21:20 <pollo> something like "looking for people to setup the network team, here are details"
16:21:31 <wouter> yeah, I think the set of skills required to run a network is more likely to be present in debconf attendees than is the set of skills to run video... ;-)
16:22:34 <pollo> if people think it's a good idea, I can take that task and coordinate with the global team
16:22:57 <wouter> I think go for it
16:24:01 <olasd> #action pollo to talk to tumbleweed and DebConf orga about recruiting a specific team to get the network set up at the venue
16:24:16 <olasd> anything else on this?
16:24:47 <olasd> #topic 2.3. Computers / Server
16:25:08 <pollo> EnkelenaH[m]: do you have the server specs?
16:25:19 <olasd> #info tumbleweed has reviewed the specs and we'll be able to put all our pci cards in the room PCs
16:27:31 <EnkelenaH[m]> https://zworkstations.com/products/z840/#tech-specs
16:27:46 <EnkelenaH[m]> 2 HDD X 16 TB, 64 GB RAM
16:28:43 <olasd> do you know which cpu in the 2600 series?
16:29:45 <wouter> yeah, because there are massive differences in the 2600 series
16:30:20 <pollo> olasd: maybe it would be a good idea to bring the PCIe NIC from the cube?
16:30:25 <EnkelenaH[m]> I can ask
16:30:28 <pollo> (it think it has one?)
16:30:30 <olasd> EnkelenaH[m]: please do
16:30:35 <wouter> that said though, I think an E5-2600 series is going to be good enough regardless of how many cores we get
16:30:42 <olasd> pollo: we have NICs in the camera flight cases already
16:31:10 <wouter> #info server will have 2x16TB HDD, 64G of RAM, and at least one Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4
16:31:12 <olasd> (well, I'll need to take the cube out to get the blackmagic cards anyway... but.)
16:31:16 <olasd> #save
16:31:25 <wouter> (Xeon E5-2xxx also have dual CPU capability, so...)
16:32:00 <olasd> right. I think that's enough info, let's move on
16:32:06 <olasd> #topic 2.4.     Opsis
16:32:18 <pollo> CarlFK[m]: can you confirm you are coming?&
16:32:21 <olasd> looks like CarlFK[m] will indeed make it with his opsises :P
16:32:36 <CarlFK[m]> I am!  flights booked!
16:32:42 <olasd> (silly little blue booklet hiding in plain sight)
16:32:46 <pollo> \0/
16:33:13 <olasd> #info CarlFK[m] has confirmed he'll be able to attend, no opsis shippage necessary
16:33:25 <olasd> #topic 2.5. Other
16:33:55 <pollo> was wafer used for the volunteering system during the last mini-dc?
16:34:01 <olasd> no
16:34:09 <CarlFK[m]> I have a lot of stuff - anything else I should bring?
16:34:32 <pollo> CarlFK[m]: "magic" hdmi cables are always useful
16:34:47 <CarlFK[m]> how many, how long?
16:35:01 <CarlFK[m]> "all of them" starts to get heavy
16:35:14 <pollo> I'll try to follow up with terceiro to get the volunteering system up before debcamp if possible, once the schedule is published
16:35:46 <pollo> CarlFK[m]: we have some, but a couple. we use them for the opsis mostlt
16:36:02 <olasd> we have much more than a couple
16:36:13 <olasd> ethernet crimping kit / cable tester(s)? label maker? (if you have a non-slow one :P)
16:36:34 <CarlFK[m]> Ill bring 3 long ones.
16:36:42 <olasd> yeah, sounds good
16:36:44 <pollo> I'm planning on bringing a soldering iron
16:36:55 <CarlFK[m]> is 2 Opsis enough?  I have 3 handy.
16:37:05 <paddatrapper> I'll also bring crimper and cable tester
16:37:49 <olasd> CarlFK[m]: if 3 is not too much of a hassle then bring them all, IMO. although we've not screwed one up beyond repair in a while, who knows what can happen... :p
16:38:31 <CarlFK[m]> ok
16:38:48 <CarlFK[m]> "speaker test station" is a thing.
16:38:50 <olasd> I should have been working on my packing list this week but COVID decided I wasn't going at the office, so...
16:39:04 <wouter> awtch
16:39:11 <wouter> you didn't catch it, I hope?
16:39:22 <olasd> sure did
16:39:29 <wouter> oh dear
16:39:57 <pollo> Well, at least you won't catch it at DC....
16:40:13 <olasd> :P
16:40:20 <wouter> yes, there is that
16:40:30 <wouter> I had it the first week I was in Belgium in 3 years...
16:40:39 <wouter> not *quite* why I wanted to go there
16:40:42 <olasd> anything else to think of related to DebConf?
16:41:25 <wouter> sorry. not from me, at least
16:41:48 <olasd> #topic Review last meeting's action items
16:42:06 <olasd> paddatrapper was to plan room layouts; that's dependent on measurements, which should be forthcoming
16:42:35 <olasd> #topic 4. Any other business?
16:43:06 <wouter> didn't we just do that?
16:43:08 <pollo> apparently Canadian airports are overflowing and 1/3 of all flights are being cancelled :)
16:43:10 <EnkelenaH[m]> I sent that
16:43:11 <wouter> "other", I mean :)
16:43:14 <pollo> wish me luck
16:43:21 * wouter holds thumbs
16:43:23 <olasd> wouter: we did DebConf other, now that's other-other :P
16:43:36 <olasd> e.g.
16:43:39 <wouter> well, yeah
16:43:54 <olasd> #info tumbleweed re-cut some Hamburg talks and sent them on to YouTube and PeerTube
16:44:08 <olasd> #topic 5. Next meeting
16:44:44 <pollo> I'm leaving next Thursday, probably won't make it to the meeting
16:45:07 <olasd> I guess we'll hold it at that time anyway
16:45:10 <EnkelenaH[m]> is someone here arriving before 8th
16:45:19 <EnkelenaH[m]> or better before 9th?
16:45:21 <olasd> pollo arrives on the evening of the 7th
16:45:28 <pollo> no, on the 8th
16:45:34 <pollo> stuck in Zurich 12h
16:45:46 <olasd> pollo: then your entry in the travel coordination wiki page is wrong :P
16:45:47 <pollo> I arrive evening on the 8th and I have a hotel booked
16:46:08 <olasd> either way:
