14:59:34 <tumbleweed> #topic Roll Call
14:59:38 <CarlFK[m]> Tell the cat to hit #next
14:59:41 <tumbleweed> Say hi if you're here for the meeting!
14:59:51 <CarlFK[m]> Hiii
14:59:55 * nattie calls some khachapuri in place of a roll
15:01:42 <pollo> o/
15:01:42 <kannan[m]1> Hi
15:02:17 <tumbleweed> Great, that looks sufficiently quorate
15:02:28 <tumbleweed> #topic DebConf 23: Venue
15:02:40 <tumbleweed> anything to report?
15:03:51 <tumbleweed> I'll take that as a no
15:03:59 <tumbleweed> #topic DebConf 23: Equipment
15:04:05 <tumbleweed> hacksk[m]1?
15:05:23 <tumbleweed> well, I've heard from hacksk[m]1 that they've been working on sourcing SDI cable
15:05:43 <kannan[m]1> tumbleweed: pinged him
15:05:53 <olasd> hi
15:05:55 <tumbleweed> the local supplier they went to didn't have sufficient length, and suggested a wireless link
15:06:08 <tumbleweed> I suggested we source some cable and build our own, possibly via a CCTV supplier
15:06:29 <tumbleweed> I think probably crimping f-type connections onto the cable and using f-type to BNC adaptors, is the simplest way to go
15:06:38 <olasd> yeah, I agree
15:06:54 <tumbleweed> pure copper cable costs a fair bit more than copper-clad-steel, but I'm imagining it's the way to go
15:07:10 <tumbleweed> CCS is mostly for the CCTV world
15:07:53 <tumbleweed> he had a quote of 18.5 INR/m for copper RG-6
15:08:38 <tumbleweed> anything else in equipment?
15:08:46 <tumbleweed> olasd: we got the budget approved for buying stuff IIRC
15:08:52 <olasd> yes we did
15:08:52 <CarlFK[m]> if that doesn't work, I bet the asus USB capture could be used to push over Ethernet
15:08:57 <olasd> orders are on the way
15:09:00 <tumbleweed> \o/
15:09:26 <tumbleweed> #info orders placed for equipment to replace stolen equipment (and new HDMI capture gear + USB audio interfaces)
15:10:06 <tumbleweed> moving on...
15:10:07 <tumbleweed> #topic DebConf 23: Networking
15:10:18 <tumbleweed> any updates here?
15:11:22 <pollo> I don't know if it's our job, but there were talks about wifi APs
15:11:26 <pollo> what models, etc.
15:11:30 <tumbleweed> oh, yeah
15:11:41 <tumbleweed> IIRC grandstream
15:13:20 <tumbleweed> #topic DebConf 23: Shipping
15:14:15 * tumbleweed hands olasd a mic
15:17:30 * tumbleweed picks it off the floor again and moves on
15:17:33 <olasd> sorry
15:17:43 <olasd> nothing to report until the hardware is on hand anyway
15:17:44 <tumbleweed> anything to say?
15:17:45 <olasd> :)
15:17:46 <tumbleweed> OK
15:17:54 <tumbleweed> #topic DebConf 23: Loop
15:18:03 <tumbleweed> we didn't have a wouter today
15:18:05 * olasd puts some foam on the floor
15:18:20 <tumbleweed> nattie is apparently putting them in touch with the design team on matrix
15:18:35 <nattie> "apparently"?
15:18:43 <tumbleweed> #topic Cambridge UK Mini-DC
15:18:50 <tumbleweed> so... cambridge
15:18:53 <pollo> #link https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/gb/2023/MiniDebConfCambridge
15:19:00 <pollo> anyone talked to them?
15:19:28 <olasd> not as video team, no
15:19:37 <tumbleweed> it's probably a bit late in Nov for me, but I can't say yet
15:19:38 <pollo> if someone wants to volunteer, https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs/working_with_videoteam.html#in-person-conferences is the link :)
15:19:44 * pollo won't be there
15:19:59 <olasd> but in general yes, I intend to go
15:20:03 <pollo> it'd be nice if we could get them to use a mini-Wafer instance
15:20:17 <pollo> I guess paddatrapper might be interested, since he's somewhat local now?
15:20:23 <olasd> he's registered
15:20:23 <tumbleweed> I see paddatrapper and highvoltage on the attendee list too
15:20:55 <olasd> my intention is to do the carnet for both india and cambridge
15:21:10 <olasd> (as there's a wide overlap)
15:21:22 <tumbleweed> +1
15:22:54 <tumbleweed> anyone want to take the action to contact them?
15:23:59 <pollo> it can wait until next meeting when paddatrapper is here?
15:24:02 <tumbleweed> yeah
15:24:12 <tumbleweed> #topic Any Other Business
15:24:31 <tumbleweed> I know a couple of you have no interest in DC24 in Israel
15:24:38 <tumbleweed> but here are some early venue photos: https://people.debian.org/~stefanor/dc24-haifa-photos/
15:24:47 <tumbleweed> right now we're hoping to get the CS venues
15:25:27 <tumbleweed> (saying my username on IRC just made my phone buzz)
15:26:35 <tumbleweed> The local grads don't think the University's IT team is going to make our life easy. Things are very firewalled
15:26:54 <tumbleweed> But that's a whole other discussion, still to be had with them
15:27:30 <tumbleweed> moving on...
15:27:47 <tumbleweed> #topic Next Meeting
15:27:50 <tumbleweed> same time next week?
15:27:59 <olasd> seems plausible
15:28:00 <pollo> +1
15:28:08 <tumbleweed> #agreed same time as always
15:28:12 <tumbleweed> #endmeeting
