I have a meeting with hotel tomorrow 18:31:22 <xamanu> gwolf: we only have given them the quote. 18:31:34 * h01ger dont think so, and thats also why i'm not worried yet. i expect them to grant us what we agreed and that they can deliver last minute ;) 18:31:43 <moray> ok. having rooms booked before everyone arrives might be nice 18:31:54 <h01ger> then i think the hotel should talk to the govt too?! 18:31:57 <moray> yes 18:31:58 <leogg> h01ger, but we need to pay hotel and sign contract *now* 18:32:01 * gwolf agrees with h01ger 18:32:11 <moray> leogg: what do the hotel think is the status? 18:32:14 <h01ger> leogg, but we dont need to pay for debcamp.. 18:32:23 <xamanu> h01ger: the gov has not told us which name to put on the quote. so the hotel would not know whom to talk to 18:32:24 <moray> they think the government is paying etc., or just that it's *possible*? 18:32:28 <leogg> govt won't even let's us know how is paying/signing the contract 18:32:29 <gwolf> if the hotel is somewhat govt-owned or is used to working with govt, they should know how to pull for that money 18:32:36 <gwolf> or at least, how that money usually arrives. 18:32:47 <h01ger> btw, for those watching at home: it stopped raining 10min ago and its already getting warmer again. /me puts off his jacket 18:32:58 <h01ger> xamanu, then get that name? 18:33:07 <leogg> thing is hotel won't let us use the hotel if we don't sign a contract with them 18:33:09 <h01ger> we know those names, dont we? 18:33:13 <moray> (accommodation itself is next point, btw) 18:33:32 <xamanu> h01ger: they said it is not possible. we just had to hand over the quote and they would engage, which they have not done till now 18:33:56 <h01ger> so what do we do about the potential desaster? IMO we shouldnt sign with semiole.. because the govt shoudl sign.. so search for backup hotels? 18:34:13 <leogg> yes 18:34:19 <h01ger> yes to what? 18:34:30 <leogg> we should use a backup 18:34:50 <gwolf> the problem with that is that Seminole will soon require us to "block" with money 18:34:53 <leogg> I have something for next topic 18:34:55 <gwolf> (and so will any backup!) 18:34:56 <cate> not seminole? the quotes was realtively chap anyway) 18:35:02 <lazyb0y> cheaper ones then, and not ones the goverment gets moneyy off again for forcing us into an expensive place! 18:36:14 <mang0> i think we can make reservations without having to pay beforehand. we should at least book backups for the first two nights 18:36:19 <moray> so, on the government point itself, who is doing what? 18:36:30 <leogg> xamanu, h01ger lazyb0y, have no internet atm 18:36:40 <leogg> power just went off 18:37:03 <leogg> moray, I'm talking with govt 18:37:04 <leogg> and xamanu 18:37:15 <moray> #info leogg and xamanu to talk with the government 18:37:32 <leogg> we gave them a deadline (yes, another one) 18:37:33 <moray> a specific point mentioned earlier was the logo being on the shirts/bags or not 18:37:51 <gwolf> well, but they confirmed, at least in theory 18:37:54 <leogg> yep, I'm going to shirt provider tomorrow morning 18:37:54 <moray> what is the timing on that? I expected they were being printed already... 18:38:08 <gwolf> so unles ssomething is really wrong, we should trust their word (should we not?) 18:38:17 <leogg> the shirt sample is ready, I need to approve that tomorrow 18:38:22 <moray> gwolf: I think so, the local team's description confuses me though 18:38:29 <leogg> gwolf, I'm not so sure about that 18:38:50 <leogg> at this point I'm sceptic 18:38:52 <leogg> sorry 18:38:53 <moray> gwolf: (i.e. maybe it's not really confirmed, from how they describe it) 18:39:14 <gwolf> leogg: (that's normal for you ;-) ) 18:39:23 <leogg> there's five days left to debconf and we have nothing from govt... just empty promises 18:39:26 <moray> do we think the other people will get back online soon? 18:39:29 <gwolf> somebody better used to the way Nicaragua works? xamanu? ;-) 18:39:29 <leogg> gwolf, right :) 18:39:44 <leogg> moray, they're coming to my place 18:39:49 <leogg> in 5 min or so 18:39:52 <n0rman> leogg: :) 18:40:00 <moray> ok 18:40:03 <gwolf> so shall we skip to the next topic and return when tehy are back? 18:40:14 <leogg> yes, let's 18:40:17 <moray> yes, let's carry on and hope they appear 18:40:24 <moray> and they can re-argue things if they want :) 18:40:28 <moray> #topic Accommodation status 18:40:38 <moray> I think this was significantly covered above 18:40:41 <leogg> so, accomodation 18:40:47 <moray> any other news on it different from above? 18:40:49 <leogg> part one was covered above 18:40:53 <leogg> part two... 18:41:02 <leogg> I have a quote from brandts hotel 18:41:05 <cate> ana needs to know about the other hotel anyway (IIRC) 18:41:06 <leogg> for debconf people 18:41:17 <moray> right 18:41:19 <leogg> ~80 people for one week 18:41:35 <leogg> and the cost is about ~$28.50 dollars 18:41:39 <leogg> per person 18:41:42 <moray> ok, that sounds as we expected 18:41:45 <leogg> in double and triple rooms 18:41:46 <rmmovil> leogg: that quote came from seminole 18:41:46 <cate> leogg: with taxes? 18:41:58 <leogg> cate, yes.. with taxes 18:41:59 <rmmovil> or direct fro brandts? 18:42:19 <cate> so really better v. seminole 18:42:21 <leogg> rmmovil, no... the original price was much higher... but I managed to get a discount 18:42:22 <moray> can we do this booking already, or is it dependent on the govt part? 18:42:25 <gwolf> leogg: do we have a distribution on the kind/prices of rooms? (or kind at least, for the room allocation team to start having fun) 18:42:40 <leogg> moray, we can book brandts now if we want to 18:42:45 <moray> ok 18:42:48 <rmmovil> because seminole people said that they can get disscount on brandts 18:42:59 <moray> maybe we should come back to an actual "decision" on that at the end if the others want to say anything 18:43:00 <leogg> gwolf, yes, I'll upload it to svn after the meeting 18:43:01 <cate> leogg: talk with ana before (about the room size/requirements/...) 18:43:02 <moray> but it sounds good to me 18:43:14 <leogg> cate, sur 18:43:15 <leogg> e 18:43:33 <gwolf> #info leogg will upload the list of rooms at Brandt (by type) to SVN after the meeting so the room allocation team cna start preparing the lists 18:43:34 <leogg> rmmovil, there was no such thing as a discount :) 18:43:37 <moray> #info we have a quote from brandts hotel, ~$28.50 dollars per person per night 18:43:43 <moray> other accommodation news? 18:43:58 <leogg> not atm 18:44:04 <cate> one new person to sponsor 18:44:41 <moray> cate: is that just random interjection, or something to discuss in this topic? 18:44:51 <moray> (I'm not sure what you mean anyway) 18:45:18 <cate> only a small comment FYI (the info passed to ana, but probably not to darst) 18:45:36 <moray> #topic Talks schedule 18:45:43 <moray> There is now a draft schedule in penta 18:45:46 <gwolf> Ok, so we have a tentative schedule 18:45:58 <moray> gwolf: go on :) 18:45:59 <gwolf> I have not "pushed" it to a public status due to the topic I sent yesterday evening to the list 18:46:18 <cate> DPL is not yet moved. 18:46:19 <gwolf> because there is discrepancy on when people consider DebConf to start, as different start dates have been announced in different places 18:46:24 <moray> right 18:46:34 <gwolf> cate: DPL talk will be either moved or cancelled, because he is flying early on Monday. 18:46:50 <moray> on that topic, I don't really disagree with h01ger (although he thinks that strongly), I just disagree strongly about how we *describe* things 18:47:13 <moray> I think that if the dates page said something, it is bad just to say "that was wrong" 18:47:24 <gwolf> So... Well, we have a workable schedule, but we have a possible extra day to fill... and some important talks would move to that day 18:47:30 <moray> however, I think it is fine to say: hey, we have this day, and many people are there, let's add some thing sthen 18:47:36 <gwolf> moray: right, we got trapped in a very stupid and wrong position 18:47:37 <moray> (things then) 18:47:51 <moray> which h01ger would call "this is debconf day 1" 18:47:56 <gwolf> due to lack of care on our side (and a big finger pointing at us all, not to a specific person) 18:48:10 <gwolf> right... I think a good compromise would be to start DebConf on Sunday afternoon 18:48:20 <gwolf> have the opening talk, the DPL address and one more thing or two 18:48:57 <bremner> can we try to have some debconfy stuff sunday, since I guess most people will be there? 18:48:57 <moray> gwolf: the only practical implication of what I say above, is that much of the day could be used by preference for "new" events, or BOFs etc. where we know enough people are there 18:48:59 <cate> I would have the opening talk Monday, (so no really opening) 18:49:13 <moray> gwolf: but clearly zack's talk should be then 18:49:30 <gwolf> moray: if we schedule anything, we must schedule Zack's talk 18:49:37 <moray> gwolf: yes, 19:54 < moray> gwolf: but clearly zack's talk should be then 18:49:40 <gwolf> And if we schedule Zack's talk, it will not be just an "extra" day 18:49:52 <gwolf> And if it's not just an "extra" day, the opening session should start it 18:49:53 <moray> gwolf: we can justify that as it doesn't happen otherwise! 18:50:10 <gwolf> right... We cannot escape cleanly anyway :-P 18:50:12 <moray> gwolf: but if we put that, release managers, etc. etc. that day, it is unfair to people who believed our announcements 18:50:22 <gwolf> There is another talk by paulproteus that must be moved to Sunday 18:50:27 <moray> right 18:50:34 <moray> so again, if it's "must" we can easily justify it 18:50:35 <gwolf> no, right, release team will not be moved to Sunday 18:51:03 <gaudenz> I like bremner's proposal to also move some debconf bofs to sunday. 18:51:16 <gwolf> ok... So, cate+tassia+me will put some BoF thingies, along with Zack's and paulproteus' events 18:51:25 <gwolf> But: Should we keep the formal opening for Monday? 18:51:30 <bremner> _not_ the travel sponsorship bof on sunday, please. 18:51:35 <gwolf> I don't love it, but... it can work 18:51:41 * xamanu back 18:51:53 <gwolf> in any case, we will explicitly contact any person we move to Sunday 18:51:59 <moray> should we pause while xamanu et al. read scrollback? 18:52:06 <moray> they can tell us when they caught up 18:52:18 <gwolf> Maybe we could put part of my pseudotrack back then? (which is targetted at locals - Getting involved in Debian) 18:52:29 <gwolf> I think it could make sense 18:52:32 <h01ger> holas 18:52:37 <gwolf> germans: welcome 18:52:38 <h01ger> moving was tiring.. 18:52:39 <bremner> gwolf: also fine for me. 18:52:40 * h01ger would appreciate a pausa 18:52:41 <leogg> gwolf, that track would be great for Sunday 18:52:41 <moray> h01ger: please read scrollback and tell us when you're done :) 18:52:42 <cate> gwolf: the spanish one? 18:52:42 <h01ger> #save 18:52:46 <h01ger> #topic break 18:52:50 <gwolf> cate: the mostly-spanish one 18:52:54 <moray> gwolf: hush :p 18:53:05 <gwolf> perfect, I think that's the good way out :-D 18:53:10 <h01ger> break, please 18:53:11 <gwolf> it even makes sense on a larger scale \o/ 18:53:13 * gwolf barks 18:53:14 <gwolf> sorry 18:53:16 * gwolf breaks 18:53:19 * gwolf is b0rken 18:53:47 <xamanu> i'm through the backlog 18:53:52 <rmmovil> leogg: please bring an AP 18:54:03 <rmmovil> when you come to UCA 18:54:08 * h01ger agrees with mangoderosa on getting backup hotel reservations for the first 2 nights 18:54:39 <gwolf> h01ger: even if that means us ~US$30*~100 people*2days=~US$6,000? 18:55:03 <moray> gwolf: I think he means quotations for now (but we're still paused ;) 18:55:16 <gwolf> As long as it's quotations, it won't hurt 18:55:21 * gaudenz doubts that we have 100 people the first two days of debcamp. 18:55:36 <xamanu> i disagree to cancel DPL talk. if he can only on debconf day 0 he should talk in the afternoon at least. if you look at the numbers, most people arrive before or on 8th 18:55:52 <moray> xamanu: no one said to cancel it, we all agreed Sunday 18:56:03 <xamanu> ah ok :) 18:56:04 <gwolf> xamanu: right, 30 people arrive during the 8th, and many will arrive before 6PM. We can schedule zack at 6PM. 18:56:11 <cate> 52 people on the first two days 18:56:26 <gwolf> cate: thx 18:56:29 <cate> hmm 18:56:30 <h01ger> gwolf, reservations... 18:56:43 <cate> 52 on first two days of debcamp 18:56:48 <gwolf> (can we unbreak?) 18:57:15 <h01ger> i'm fine with unbreaking if we go back to discuss govt status 18:57:22 * lazyb0y didn't read all details, but back 18:57:23 <h01ger> +then dates 18:57:29 <gwolf> ok - And /me hurries for a cup of coffee, fine with me 18:57:35 <gwolf> #topic Government status 18:57:40 <h01ger> so 18:57:42 <moray> #chair gwolf 18:57:42 <MeetBot> Current chairs: (since bremner gwolf h01ger he likes meetings) moray 18:57:43 <gwolf> oh, I'm not a chair 18:57:44 <h01ger> what do we do now? 18:57:46 <gwolf> #topic Government status 18:57:57 <h01ger> wait another day? 18:58:15 <h01ger> prod them more heavily? (is that possible? sensible?) 18:58:20 <leogg> waiting another day won't hurt 18:58:23 <xamanu> h01ger: what else could we do? 18:58:26 <moray> not if "wait" only means sitting waiting, I think 18:58:29 <leogg> at least until tomorrow morning 18:58:33 <h01ger> reserve hotels today 18:58:39 <rmmovil> I guess is the best option, not rush now, we already waited a week :) 18:58:47 <cate> leogg: but ask also the hotel if they still have the room freee 18:58:50 <h01ger> <xamanu> [18:35:28] h01ger: place for the conf dinner 18:58:50 <h01ger> <leogg> [18:35:28] h01ger, hotels 18:58:50 <h01ger> <xamanu> [18:35:37] h01ger: day trip 18:58:51 <h01ger> <h01ger> [18:35:43] hotels = semiole @ debcamp 18:58:52 <h01ger> +badges 18:58:55 <lazyb0y> we can alsways wait, but as I understand the loclteam, we should have a plan for the worst case 18:58:58 <leogg> cate, they do 18:59:05 <leogg> lazyb0y, right 18:59:12 <moray> h01ger: from what was said, the problem was that the hotel doesn't want to finalise the booking without the govt part 18:59:20 <leogg> we should work on plan B... and expect the worst 18:59:28 <h01ger> daytrip can wait. conf dinner can wait. badges, well, annoying but bearable... the critical thing is really the hotel + food place support 18:59:29 <h01ger> right? 18:59:33 <moray> yes 18:59:37 <leogg> right 18:59:39 <lazyb0y> it seems at leat 50% likely that govt. will not act in time, and we'd like to know what to tell the people where they should sleep when they arrive in a few days 19:00:01 * h01ger disagrees with that percentage... 19:00:10 <leogg> we could book the backup hotel (brandts) for the first week as well 19:00:11 <lazyb0y> even food can be neglectet in worst case, there is some to get somewhere :) 19:00:14 <h01ger> but we also agreed to wait another day... 19:00:15 <moray> h01ger: no, but equally I don't think just "waiting" indefinitely will work as the only plan 19:00:23 <h01ger> so.. lets do that? 19:00:42 <h01ger> moray, we could also now plan what to do tomorrow 19:00:46 <moray> h01ger: booking the backup hotel for everyone sounds like giving up on the sponsorship 19:00:51 <lazyb0y> if leogg says tomorrow is early enough to check another cheaper hotel, it's fine, but what's with the money getting here? 19:01:04 <moray> we should *ask* other hotels about prices as soon as possible 19:01:11 <h01ger> well, govt withdrawing support is certainly a *disaster* 19:01:17 <moray> yes 19:01:24 <h01ger> so we would need to fire up our emergency plan 19:01:32 <moray> if they have clearly done that, then yes 19:01:33 <gwolf> clearly a disaster 19:01:38 <moray> and we should prepare for it by getting quotations 19:01:41 <moray> (today?) 19:01:52 <gwolf> Now, can somebody talk with Seminole, to know how usual it is for govt to act that way? 19:01:59 <moray> but for what is actually best to do about the government: I'm not sure that my advice will be useful 19:02:00 <h01ger> so lets meet again here on irc tomorrow at 18 utc? 19:02:03 <gwolf> I'm sure they have expertise getting money from the govt 19:02:10 <h01ger> our jutst meett locally here tomorrow? 19:02:18 <moray> h01ger: I don't think I can make that, though irc meeting is fine if you want 19:02:21 <gwolf> and... they might even be able to wait a day or three (if the alternative is to lose us all) 19:02:25 <h01ger> gwolf, i'm not so sure.. i suggested that here as well 19:02:26 <lazyb0y> no they haven't clearly done that, but they could delay it until it's too late. money/booking needs to be there when people arrive, AFAICS 19:02:27 <moray> but I would go with locals + h01ger deciding now, really 19:02:29 <h01ger> but leogg: ^^ 19:02:45 * gwolf +1s moray 19:02:50 <h01ger> fil will also be here tomorrow 19:02:56 <moray> those of us who aren't there can't tell what the hotel or government's *attitude* is, how they should be dealt with, etc. 19:02:57 <cate> If we don't have the govt by tomorrow, I think a new meeting is needed quickly for the plan B 19:02:57 <h01ger> (actually today :) 19:03:00 <n0rman> h01ger: today 19:03:03 <gwolf> local information and "feeling" is better than anything we can say over here 19:03:14 <moray> h01ger: ah yes, good 19:03:21 <leogg> gwolf, the thing is if we have time to book other hotels if the govt don't sponsor 19:03:31 <moray> h01ger: so, maybe last step before giving up on govt is sending fil round?? 19:03:34 <gwolf> leogg: right, the contact with Brandt must be done 19:03:35 <moray> (seriously ;) 19:03:37 <h01ger> moray, heh 19:03:40 <h01ger> right 19:03:55 <h01ger> gwolf, leogg doesnt think its a good idea to let semiole hunt the govt 19:03:56 <moray> h01ger: if we are about to give up on them, he can go and rant at them until they agree :) 19:03:57 <lazyb0y> ok, mus be dealt with locally, anyway, but the question how it can be paid without gvt.? 19:04:00 <leogg> gwolf, we shouldn't tell seminole about govt sponsorship 19:04:14 <gwolf> leogg: seminole is getting half of the money directly 19:04:19 <h01ger> lazyb0y, emergency desaster plan, aka ask debian for money. ask kickstarter. dunno 19:04:28 <h01ger> we need to come up with that plan _then_ 19:04:37 <leogg> gwolf, yes... but we can't put pressure in govt through seminole 19:04:45 <leogg> that's not how things work over here 19:04:51 <h01ger> (as we dont have a more detailed one. basically "debian money" is the backup plan. and blog and ask for donations 19:04:52 <h01ger> ) 19:04:57 <h01ger> next topic? 19:04:58 * gwolf dislikes unclear situations... 19:05:03 <lazyb0y> ok. that is where/how, then follows how in time. 19:05:06 * h01ger loves chaos ;) 19:05:09 <gwolf> leogg: so it works better by risking? 19:05:25 <leogg> gwolf, dealing with govt is always a risk 19:05:28 <moray> gwolf: please continue (back) to next topic when you want, and discuss what you were suggesting with h01ger 19:05:32 <lazyb0y> is it basically possible that ISIC writes an invoice to spi now for the hotel money, so it's there by friday? 19:05:41 <leogg> are we willing to take that risk? wait a day or two? 19:05:41 <h01ger> next topic is dates 19:05:44 <gwolf> #topic dates 19:05:52 <gwolf> Ok... So I like the plan we were discussing 19:05:59 <gwolf> #info Saturday is (and stays) DebianDay 19:06:10 <leogg> right 19:06:19 <gwolf> #info Sunday we will have DebConf talks mainly geared to locals (gwolf's track "getting involved with Debian) 19:06:33 <gwolf> #info The DPL talk will be the last session on Sunday (18:00) 19:06:45 <gwolf> #info We start on Monday with our regular opening session 19:06:50 <h01ger> we should also have the opening session on sunday morning 19:06:58 <moray> gwolf: we didn't decide that last bit 19:07:03 <gwolf> (so for practical purposes, we will have an extended two-day DebianDay) 19:07:06 <moray> we were just in the "when is welcome talk?" 19:07:11 <gwolf> moray: ok, I thought we did 19:07:15 <moray> cate was saying Monday still, I think 19:07:20 <h01ger> we're still talking about hotels here locally 19:07:23 <gwolf> I'm not *really* happy with sending the opening to monday 19:07:23 <cate> h01ger: sunday morning is by definition sleeping time 19:07:33 <moray> but others wanted it on Sunday, I thought 19:07:38 <gwolf> but it *might* make sense 19:07:43 <h01ger> throwing away the sunday is effectivly throwing away 5k usd or more 19:07:52 <gaudenz> how about having a short introduction and greeting on sunday and the real opening on monday? 19:08:10 <h01ger> gaudenz, the real opening is a short intro and greeting 19:08:17 <gwolf> gaudenz: there's not much more than that :) 19:08:20 <cate> 45 min long 19:08:25 <moray> cate: not in reality 19:08:28 <h01ger> cate, its rather more like 10min 19:08:32 <gwolf> gaudenz: one of the reasons for the opening session is for the attendees to get to know the faces of the organizers 19:08:37 <gaudenz> no govt talk this year and bodygurads and ... ;--) 19:08:45 <gwolf> cate: right, it should be reduced to a 15min slot 19:08:46 <moray> gwolf: how about the other way 19:08:57 <moray> gwolf: opening on Sunday, but extra quick "Hello" just before 1st talk on Monday? 19:08:58 <h01ger> the slot can be longer so we have a small break to get started 19:08:59 <gwolf> moray: get the organizers to know the attendees' faces? :) 19:09:00 <h01ger> thats nice 19:09:05 <h01ger> its hot here, you know 19:09:32 <gwolf> moray: both will be short sessions anyway 19:09:41 <h01ger> moray, a quick "hello" is the job of the talk introducers or whatever their job title was ;) 19:09:42 <moray> gwolf: yes, but for one I really mean *just* hello, this is us 19:09:49 <gwolf> right 19:09:49 <cate> if the talk is short, it is ok also sunday, but when most people are present, so not in the morning! ;-) 19:09:52 <moray> but with the relevant people on stage to wave 19:09:52 <h01ger> and sure we can do that job on monday morning 19:09:57 <cate> present and awake 19:10:03 <gwolf> Now, for a proper description of the day, are you OK if we name Sunday "DebConf day 0"? 19:10:22 <gwolf> I'd like DDs to have motivation to get more involved than they (usually) do at DebianDay 19:10:22 <xamanu> sunday right after lunch? and a short one monday morning. 19:10:36 <h01ger> we have the press conf on sunday 19:10:38 <leogg> so, the plan is to have two welcome talks? 19:10:40 <moray> gwolf: yes -- we should make sure there *are* proper DD events involved 19:10:43 <h01ger> so its natural to open the conf before the press conf 19:10:48 <h01ger> so opening should be on sunday 19:10:52 <h01ger> which will also have dpl talk 19:10:58 <gwolf> #info We will have two _short_ "welcome/hello" sesisons - one on Sunday, one on Monday 19:10:59 <h01ger> which we also call debconf day 0 19:11:02 <h01ger> right? 19:11:02 <leogg> I agree wih h01ger 19:11:07 <xamanu> +1 19:11:09 <moray> h01ger: yes 19:11:18 <gwolf> right. At what time is the press conf scheduled? 19:11:25 <leogg> gwolf, having two welcome sessions is a bit crazy 19:11:34 <moray> gwolf: one is just "hello, if you weren't here yesterday" 19:11:37 <gwolf> leogg: Nicaragua is two and a half bits crazy 19:11:38 <moray> er, leogg ^^ 19:11:43 <leogg> gwolf, we decide when we want to have ir 19:11:50 <leogg> s/ir/it 19:11:56 <leogg> the press conference 19:11:58 <gwolf> ok, and we can decide it later 19:12:03 <leogg> right 19:12:10 <gwolf> So, can we start "formal" activities Sunday after lunch? (3PM) 19:12:21 <moray> you mean "opening" then? 19:12:26 <moray> with bofs etc. before? 19:12:40 <gwolf> moray: no, I mean nothing scheduled before 19:12:58 <gwolf> (also thinking, this targets the locals, and starting on a Sunday morning is a recipe for not having many people there) 19:13:23 <moray> gwolf: ok. well, I would put some things earlier too ... but I can leave this to the schedule team to decide 19:13:24 <gwolf> #info press conference schedule will be decided later (but during Sunday) 19:13:29 <h01ger> leogg, we'll do a very short welcome session on monday. like 15min in the schedule. while on sunday we do 30-45min 19:13:38 <gwolf> #info Sunday schedule starts at 15:00 19:13:38 <leogg> starting sunday afternoon sounds like a good plan 19:13:41 <leogg> h01ger, right 19:13:46 <gwolf> ok, that's enough of the topic for me 19:13:51 <h01ger> if thats fine with press 19:13:52 <h01ger> conf 19:13:53 <gwolf> #info We will announce schedule today. 19:14:01 <moray> yes, people will need to check about press stuff 19:14:02 <leogg> h01ger, yep, it should be fine 19:14:05 <moray> not just put in penta and assume :) 19:14:09 <gwolf> cate: you are not allowed to leave after the meeting ;-) 19:14:20 <cate> gwolf: :-( 19:14:26 <moray> so more on dates/scheduling? 19:14:37 <leogg> h01ger, moray, we have a meeting with govt press guy today at uca... I'll ask him 19:14:38 * h01ger thinks localteam should revisit complete sunday schedule at uca meeting today.. 19:14:50 <leogg> right 19:14:51 <h01ger> zacks talk also had more scheduling restraints, like his other tlak 19:15:01 <leogg> it's going to be a nice long meeting :) 19:15:02 <h01ger> talk 19:15:14 <h01ger> leogg, we will have to stop at 1630 to go to the airport 19:15:22 <moray> #topic Decisions: backup connection, hotel booking 19:15:34 <moray> so, money may or may not now be tighter 19:15:36 <leogg> I have work at 1800 :) 19:15:37 <moray> depending what happens 19:15:49 <moray> what are views on the backup connection? 19:16:00 <gwolf> Right. We _need_ working network, but I don't think we can just spare US$2000 if it's not really needed! 19:16:08 <moray> and on the hotel for DebConf (where I don't expect anyone to disagree that we just book brandts now?) 19:16:11 <rmmovil> I'm confident on yota though 19:16:11 <gwolf> please, what's the realistic local view on our networking 19:16:18 <leogg> moray, there are mixed opinions inside the localteam... I'm totally for backup connection 19:16:27 <h01ger> moray, brands hotel for camp or conf? 19:16:28 <gwolf> (and remember our ISP already raised the price to secure they can put in the infrastructure0 19:16:29 <leogg> rmmovil, I'm not 19:16:32 <rmmovil> since most people say that the connection is not stable 19:16:33 * h01ger listens to rmmovil 19:16:40 <rmmovil> I think it is because is wimax 19:16:41 <gwolf> h01ger: lets first talk about ISP backup 19:16:46 <h01ger> rmmovil, so you're confident or not? ah 19:16:51 <rmmovil> we have a dedicated fiber optic 19:17:04 <h01ger> gwolf, right.. its useful to have one topic ;) 19:17:08 <rmmovil> h01ger: confident, I think we will be ok 19:17:12 <moray> h01ger: boring!! ;) 19:17:16 <h01ger> so no backup connection 19:17:19 <h01ger> at least for now 19:17:20 <h01ger> great. 19:17:23 <rmmovil> not local, but just my opinion 19:17:26 <h01ger> we have enough to worry about accom 19:17:28 <moray> yeah 19:17:31 <gwolf> #info No ISP backup connection (at least for now!) 19:17:32 <h01ger> leogg, n0rman, xamanu: ? 19:17:34 <gwolf> right, I agree. 19:17:41 <moray> h01ger: let's spend the 2k on rum instead 19:17:46 <h01ger> … 19:17:49 <rmmovil> yay 19:17:49 <h01ger> sigh 19:17:51 <n0rman> h01ger: +1 19:17:53 <gwolf> Approved! 19:17:57 * h01ger goes partying 19:18:00 <leogg> h01ger, I would sleep better at night if we have a backup... but I trust rmmovil 19:18:12 <gwolf> Given 2K of good rum, nobody will miss the network 19:18:12 <h01ger> a serious meeting would be somewhat useful sometimes 19:18:17 <n0rman> I don't want to waste money we don't have now in a backup 19:18:18 <xamanu> rmmovil: i would like to know if there is any difference between daily hours and nightly hours. I have had big problems lately in nightly hours. and jimbodoors told me yesterday that Yota cuts off bandwith from Managua at night. I'd like to know if this affects us. 19:18:39 <rmmovil> xamanu: we will try to put homer 19:18:42 <rmmovil> so we can test 19:18:49 <xamanu> ok. 19:18:50 <gwolf> rmmovil: when? 19:18:55 <n0rman> rmmovil: maybe we can have a server connect to debconf switch so you can ssh at night and test the connection 19:19:01 <moray> h01ger: sorry: personally, I could do with some humour after 80 minutes of worrying about our problems 19:19:02 <xamanu> gwolf: i bring the server today to the meeting 19:19:09 <n0rman> h01ger: can we try to setup homer today? 19:19:10 <rmmovil> gwolf: today or tomorrow 19:19:25 <rmmovil> I'll talk with uca about that 19:19:29 <rmmovil> un 20 min 19:19:34 <gwolf> #info rmayorga+localteam will try to put up homer up today (or real soon), and it can be used to measure bandwidth+stability 19:19:40 <rmmovil> to have space where to put the server 19:19:57 <xamanu> n0rman: we can install it tonight at mangoderosa's place 19:19:58 <gwolf> good. And what about backup hotel? 19:20:07 <moray> gwolf: if was debconf hotel I meant above 19:20:10 <n0rman> xamanu: but we need to setup homer today at UCA 19:20:11 <moray> brandts 19:20:17 <moray> for non-debcamp people 19:20:27 <xamanu> n0rman: difficult in 1 1/2 hourse 19:20:33 <moray> which we didn't quite decide to book, as people were offline, iirc 19:20:36 <cate> after talking with ana about the number of rooms 19:20:54 <n0rman> xamanu: why difficult? do you homer with you? 19:20:57 <rmmovil> xamanu: not really, if we have the hardware the link is ready 19:21:28 <xamanu> n0rman: we have an empty hard disc, but let this talk after the meeting 19:21:30 <n0rman> you just need to install debian in a harddrive, ssh and that's it 19:21:35 <moray> people who were offline: should we go ahead and book the hotel for DebConf-only people? (I assume "yes") 19:21:54 <xamanu> ok. so i'll bring it to the meeting. 19:22:13 <rmmovil> xamanu: great, and an access point 19:22:18 <h01ger> whats the topic? 19:22:19 <rmmovil> please :) 19:22:28 <h01ger> lets not discuss how to install debian, right? 19:22:46 <h01ger> is AOB the only topic left? 19:22:49 <moray> should we go ahead and book the hotel 19:22:50 <moray> for DebConf-only people? (I assume "yes") 19:22:55 <bremner> It seems reasonable to me. 19:22:57 * h01ger suggests ubuntu, while on the topic ;) 19:23:08 <leogg> I'll talk to ana to see if we can do assigment stuff asap and book debconf hotel tomorrow 19:23:13 <h01ger> debconf hotels should be booked, yes 19:23:14 <lazyb0y> openSuSe! 19:23:19 <h01ger> unless you plan to cancel debconf 19:23:27 <h01ger> and hotel for debcamp we decide tomorrow 19:23:27 <gaudenz> slackware 19:23:29 <moray> #info we should book brandts, at the quoted price 19:23:32 <moray> h01ger: yes 19:23:32 <h01ger> so, rum? 19:23:33 <n0rman> h01ger: intersting :) 19:23:40 <leogg> h01ger, yes, please 19:23:50 * lazyb0y suggest creating a vote for homer's OS 19:23:50 * gaudenz agrees that the hotel for debconf ppl should be booked as soon as possible. 19:23:55 <moray> #info (for debconf-only people, and perhaps also get extra quotation for others) 19:23:58 <h01ger> #topic AOB, flor de canya y camerones! 19:24:07 <h01ger> #topic AOB, flor de canya y next meeting when? 19:24:17 <h01ger> AOB=any other business 19:24:24 <moray> do we have more scheduled irc meetings? 19:24:29 <h01ger> no 19:24:35 <h01ger> thats why we party 19:24:37 <moray> yup 19:24:38 * gwolf arrives Saturday 20:30, so I'd be happy with a meeting at any point after that :-) 19:24:44 <lazyb0y> what about the hurricane gwolf talked about?
