I can jump in a train and go. yeh 16:25:55 :D 16:26:42 egypcio: feel free to add yourself here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2020Brussels :) 16:26:52 * egypcio btw, sorry I am kinda afk/radio-silence that long. moving out to a new place and other things going on 16:29:03 pili: we have only one option of room (offdem)? 16:29:52 I think there were 3 options: find a bof room at FOSDEM (which would be a last minute scramble), pay for a space outside (not going to happen) or OFFDEM 16:30:01 there may also have been the option to do at a hacker space, not sure... 16:30:28 brabo probably knows more :) 16:30:56 hi o/ Last year we applied for a bof room for the relay operator meetup and worked fine 16:31:21 well, the last meetup we did in brussels was one month ago 16:31:22 the first day of fosdem there is a desk where you need to go and write down the meetup 16:31:54 and we discussed if it worth to call relay operator meetup or just tor meetup 16:33:36 gaba: do you remember how big the room was? 16:33:45 gaba: indeed. the bof rooms have some problems though. for one, they are very small, and i heard last time people were sitting on the floor or even couldn't get in? and since only on-event registration, it's harder to properly communicate this to everyone or even have people able to plan this in their own schedule of things to do 16:33:47 if the space was ok or do we need a bigger room? 16:34:12 offdem is 500 meter away from the fosdem venue, and can get bigger space there 16:34:37 plus plan it in before the event, and properly communicate this to all interested parties 16:36:46 brabo: we already have a room at offdem? 16:36:58 if we do a bof room at fosdem itself there is also a fair chance it will coincide with the decentralized internet and privacy devroom on sunday, which may conflict for some of the what i suppose is in part shared audience 16:37:32 not yet. but once you all say offdem is a nice place to try and arrange this, i will hit them up and get it arranged 16:37:59 and then we can do it on saturday so everyone can both attend this and the di&p devroom on sunday? 16:38:22 * ahf learns of offdem 16:38:34 looks good. i'll ping some people that are really going (juga, ahf) and them let's say what they think 16:38:44 https://ps.zoethical.org/t/why-offdem/2867 16:38:45 s/say/see 16:39:07 oh, i didnt' know that. Last time I made the reserveation for the room but then I was sick when the meeting was happening and couldn't attend 16:39:19 cool. i also heard no tor/tails stand accepted for fosdem. we could do something alternative at offdem too maybe? 16:39:46 i know like lqdn regularly did a tea corner at events. it could be a nice way to do something instead of a stand, maybe? 16:39:57 brabo: sure, not sure who is going to FOSDEM from Tails in the end 16:40:43 we could try to schedule a meeting at the begining of january with who's going to fosdem and discuss offdem activities 16:41:05 also it may be hard to get volunteers for the OFFDEM table... 16:41:37 i am not sure a stand fits in their alternative approach 16:42:28 ggus: sounds good 16:42:31 I think we'll have a better idea about who is going then 16:42:52 yeah, i know people that still didn't decide 16:43:03 good. shall i already talk a bit with the offdem people to see what options we have there exactly? 16:43:59 yes, looks good brabo 16:44:04 thank you brabo :) 16:44:29 okay, will do. please let me know in time what date you want to do the follow on this that i make sure to be present ;) 16:44:38 *follow up 16:44:51 if my location weren't so far away I would volunteer... 16:45:20 :) 16:46:28 brabo: will do 16:46:54 alright folks, more things to discuss? 16:47:19 I'm good 16:47:20 nice reporting from karisma about last weekend Tor training! 16:48:05 yes! fantastic!! :D 16:48:34 i will schedule a call with them, but i'm very happy with the result :) 16:48:53 antonela: where is the report? 16:49:16 we might need to open a ticket for the issue that they talked about (download tor browser localized) 16:49:42 gaba: it was just sent to us by email and I uploaded it to our private S9 board :) 16:49:55 gaba in our emails, but they will become public at some point 16:49:55 gaba: I think you have access though, I'll pm you the link 16:51:43 thanks 16:52:08 this week we will have more remote trainings happening 16:52:34 and nah asked them to run user research too 16:54:58 anything else? :) 16:56:29 * pili is still good :) 16:56:35 ok people, that's it! :) 16:56:43 thanks everyone for this year! \o/ 16:56:47 please translate! 16:56:57 \o/ 16:56:59 yes, please translate! :) 16:57:07 thank you ! :) 16:57:14 <3 16:57:21 Our next Community Team meeting is in January 16:58:06 #endmeeting
