Need to check with NCTU about the 2 classrooms in engineering build 3. 14:35:03 <jidanni> I added floor maps to the wiki_ 14:35:12 <medicalwei> I have no update neither. 14:35:33 <medicalwei> But networking is one of my todos (I forgot to do that for weeks 14:35:49 <medicalwei> #action medicalwei to send RT to NCTU 14:36:12 <medicalwei> #undo 14:36:12 <MeetBot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x213fd10> 14:36:24 <medicalwei> #action medicalwei to send RT about networking to NCTU 14:36:31 <medicalwei> #topic Insurance 14:36:35 <medicalwei> czchen: // 14:37:31 <czchen> For DebConf, we can just select one option listed in https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc18/blob/master/insurance/insurance.md 14:37:55 <medicalwei> #link https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc18/blob/master/insurance/insurance.md Insurance options 14:38:00 <czchen> For day trip, we need to collect personal information for insurance, I am not sure if we really need insurance for day drip. 14:38:52 <nattie> do you really want to risk not having insurance? 14:39:15 <nattie> even for the day trip 14:39:43 <czchen> Do we have in past DC? I am not sure about this part. 14:39:56 <jidanni> well you should get it from the central registration file because the day trip sign up sheet has so little information 14:40:19 <medicalwei> #action czchen to check if past DCs have insurances for day trips. 14:40:56 <medicalwei> Do we need to provide attendee information to the insurnace companies as well? 14:41:03 <czchen> The information for day trip insurance are passport name, passport number, date of birth. 14:41:20 <czchen> For DebConf insurance, we don't need to provide these. 14:41:43 <medicalwei[m]> I hit the power button on my computer by mistake... 14:42:09 <medicalwei[m]> Nattie could you continue chairing for now? 14:42:17 <nattie> sure, just a moment 14:42:31 <medicalwei[m]> #chair nattie 14:42:31 <MeetBot> Current chairs: medicalwei medicalwei[m] nattie 14:42:36 <nattie> thanks 14:42:40 <nattie> #topic Registration 14:42:48 <nattie> For the record, nothing to report from Registration this week 14:42:54 <nattie> #topic Fundraising 14:43:05 <nattie> the first topic seems to be the job fair 14:43:06 <zumbi> we got one more gold sponsor this week 14:43:19 <nattie> #info one more gold sponsor! 14:43:26 <czchen> As I know, we only plan open day for job fair. 14:43:40 <nattie> czchen: are you happy to have that be official? 14:43:54 <nattie> do we have a consensus that the job fair is one day? 14:44:02 <medicalwei> However, can sponsors have people attending DebConf and sit around? 14:44:11 <nattie> and only on openday? 14:44:29 <zumbi> at fossasia, they had job fair along hacklab, it was kind of the meeting point for people, it lasted all event, and it was very nice, even better than past DC 14:44:30 <nattie> medicalwei: you mean, as we did with some sponsors at DC17? 14:44:31 <paulliu> So the job fair is whole 2 weeks right? If the sponsors like. 14:44:42 <medicalwei> nattie: yes? 14:44:51 <nattie> that really strikes me as excessive, the full two weeks 14:45:09 <bremner> I would be against job fair during debcamp 14:45:15 <zumbi> ++ 14:45:16 <nattie> well, quite 14:45:16 <czchen> I don't remember we have consensus for that. But DLange has suggested to have only one day for job fair, and add more days if necessary. 14:45:18 <bremner> it doesn't fit with the idea of debcamp for me 14:45:28 <medicalwei> some of these are like, they are integrated in community so it seems to be natural. 14:45:29 * nattie agrees with bremner 14:45:41 <zumbi> let's rule out job fair from debcamp 14:45:50 <nattie> i'm happy to agree to that 14:45:51 <zumbi> job fair at open day OK 14:45:54 <medicalwei> #agreed no job fair from debcamp 14:46:00 <zumbi> then how many days of DebConf? 14:46:08 <nattie> medicalwei: are you back in action now? 14:46:19 <medicalwei> yes. 14:46:27 <nattie> ok 14:46:37 <nattie> i would say two days maximum of debconf proper 14:46:44 <zumbi> 1 days is too short, and to not have booths lonely, I'd mix them in noisy hacklab or open corridor, so those get crowded 14:47:15 <czchen> So two successive days? 14:47:24 <zumbi> works for me 14:47:26 <nattie> does anyone remember the exact arrangement of job booths at DC15? 14:47:31 <paulliu> 3 days isn't better? I mean if they are in the public place with a table. 14:47:50 <medicalwei> paulliu: how about mixing in the noisy hacklab? 14:47:58 * nattie remembers a lot of very bored-looking sponsor-type people at their tables over the course of the week 14:48:02 <czchen> Sponsor might only have one day for their HR team. 14:48:27 <medicalwei> czchen: I got reply from szlin and one of the sponsors that we have pretty short job fair. 14:48:31 <zumbi> nattie: I think we need to try to get them involved, not stare at us 14:48:32 <jidanni> the more, the merrier. 14:49:25 <czchen> medicalwei: "pretty short job fair" ? What's that mean? 14:49:40 <paulliu> He mean some sponsor wants more days. 14:49:52 <zumbi> how many days are we doing? 14:49:52 <paulliu> They will send people on their table. 14:50:12 <paulliu> We currently respond them only 1 day on open day. 14:50:14 <medicalwei> I think most of us agrees on 3 days (1 open day and 2 days in DC?) 14:50:24 <bremner> I'm fine with more days if sponsors want, but I suspect noisy hacklab might not be the best atmosphere 14:50:24 <czchen> We can always keep the table for them. 14:50:26 <zumbi> medicalwei: ++ 14:50:33 <bremner> I also bet more days = more lonely days 14:50:38 <bremner> *shrug* 14:50:46 <jidanni> DC=? 14:50:50 <medicalwei> DebConf 14:51:11 <zumbi> can we have a Debian booth at the fair :) 14:51:14 <nattie> it's a tiny little event, nobody's heard of it 14:51:26 <medicalwei> so can we agree on this? 14:52:07 <czchen> No problem for me. We just need to borrow tables for job fair. 14:52:19 <zumbi> we need to fix loneliness booths somehow 14:52:45 <nattie> 3 days total maximum 14:53:07 <bremner> for 3 days, it needs to be somewhere seperate 14:53:13 <nattie> yes 14:53:16 <medicalwei> #agreed extend job fair to 3 days since Open Day 14:53:23 <nattie> not isolated, just not the noisy hacklab 14:53:31 <nattie> medicalwei: no, open day plus two days 14:53:44 <nattie> remember, clarity is key 14:53:48 <medicalwei> #undo 14:53:48 <MeetBot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Agreed object at 0x23c0e90> 14:54:19 <zumbi> or maybe can we do 2 days, and an optional third if they want to stay 14:54:23 <czchen> The current candidate for job fair is 1st/2nd floors of MIRC building. 14:54:29 <medicalwei> #agreed extend job fair to 3 days, 1 open day and 2 days in DebConf. 14:54:41 <paulliu> I think we just put them in the public place? no? 14:54:57 <nattie> paulliu: yeah, but not in the noisy hacklab 14:55:12 <medicalwei> #action someone to sort out the loneliness problem of job fair booths. 14:55:13 <paulliu> Not in hacklab. I think hacklab is inside. 14:55:53 <medicalwei> I will open a mailing list thread about this thing later to continue the discussion 14:56:28 <medicalwei> Another problem from me: MEET TAIWAN fund don't accept statistics data. They need list of attendees. 14:56:36 <medicalwei> And NCTU may also need that too. 14:56:41 <nattie> medicalwei: the people running booths were bored because everyone who wanted to see them about job stuff already had by the end of the week, so there isn't really a loneliness problem 14:56:45 <czchen> Also, please help to update https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/sponsors/sponsors/blob/master/dc18/fulfillment/jobfair 14:57:19 <czchen> For "list of attendees", what kind of information we need to provide? 14:57:48 <medicalwei> Name, country of origin, company, occupation, phone number and email address 14:57:56 <medicalwei> they claimed that phone number and email address can be masked 14:57:59 <medicalwei> (partially) 14:59:10 <bremner> medicalwei: I think the priority is that we are transparent with attendees about what is happening with their data 14:59:15 <jidanni> Easy peasy 14:59:21 <nattie> czchen: do you want to turn that into an action item for someone? 14:59:50 <czchen> #action czchen will fill https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/sponsors/sponsors/blob/master/dc18/fulfillment/jobfair 15:00:12 <nattie> czchen: feel free to ask people for help outside the meeting, i'm sure people will 15:00:28 <medicalwei> And we can tell people that your data will be given to what exact organizations 15:01:40 <czchen> I think we can collect these information when people in FD? We can have a statement about it. 15:02:02 <bremner> medicalwei: I think it is normal for people to give name and address to places they are staying (e.g. residence) 15:02:02 <medicalwei> #action medicalwei, olasd to update the registration confirmation page for data collection statement. 15:02:18 <jidanni> do you need it much earlier than at the front desk. 15:02:34 <medicalwei> anything else? 15:02:47 <czchen> What is the deadline of these information? 15:03:01 <medicalwei> What do you mean? 15:03:10 <medicalwei> 1 month after DebConf 15:03:16 <medicalwei> (for MEET TAIWAN) 15:03:35 <paulliu> How about the other department/organizations? 15:03:43 <nattie> I thought the Meet Taiwan money was only going to be used for invited speakers, anyway? 15:03:56 <medicalwei> nattie: yes. however panel speakers count 15:04:07 <nattie> we have panels? 15:04:15 <medicalwei> Kinda 15:04:25 <nattie> so it's only the invited speakers' details that are relevant 15:04:49 <nattie> (and possibly panel speakers) 15:05:13 <medicalwei> ...well no 15:05:15 <nattie> remember that invited speakers doesn't mean everyone giving a talk at the conference 15:05:25 <medicalwei> they need list of "all" attendees 15:05:39 <medicalwei> to prove that we pass their threshold of their fund 15:05:52 <nattie> prepare to meet with some strong objections there 15:05:59 <czchen> What is the threshold? 15:06:10 <medicalwei> 30 foreign people (this has been updated since last year) 15:06:38 <medicalwei> and more fund we can get if we have more people present in the conference (or the list of attendees) 15:06:52 <czchen> So we only need 30 foreigners information to pass the threshold, right? 15:07:20 <medicalwei> Yes, but also we need more people to get more money from the fund too 15:07:56 <bremner> so ask people, explain it helps funding, but is not mandatory? 15:08:20 <medicalwei> bremner: this sounds to be okay... but we have to expect lower funs 15:08:22 <medicalwei> *funds 15:08:32 <paulliu> yeah. that's it. Can that be done in the registration system so that's easier than front-desk collection? 15:08:43 <medicalwei> olasd: *pokes* 15:08:44 <jidanni> just have a box to check, I agree, check here. 15:08:57 <medicalwei> jidanni: what if people don't agree? 15:09:09 <paulliu> Then we don't provide his information. 15:09:20 <paulliu> I mean we can *beg*. 15:09:51 <paulliu> That's money, but it is not free and we have to use something to exchange. 15:09:52 <nattie> it neds to be opt-in rather than opt-out 15:09:53 <bremner> it's all we can do, and in worst case Debian can cover the budget difference 15:10:06 <medicalwei> nattie: yes. and that's the problem... 15:10:28 <medicalwei> bremner: also note that NCTU also need this to apply another funds to cover their venue cost 15:11:12 <bremner> medicalwei: if you insist, you will just have a big fight, but not many more people will agree in the end 15:11:25 <medicalwei> I think we should also open another thread for this as well 15:11:29 <nattie> medicalwei: we could make the opt-in as part of reconfirmation 15:11:35 <medicalwei> anything else to discuss during the meeting? 15:11:46 <czchen> nothing from me. 15:11:56 <zumbi> nothing here 15:12:04 <medicalwei> #topic Budgeting 15:12:21 <medicalwei> #info Budget for bursaries passed 15:12:43 <medicalwei> #info ...and other budgets are still in discussion with DPL 15:12:48 <medicalwei> #undo 15:12:48 <MeetBot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Info object at 0x2390f10> 15:12:58 <medicalwei> #info Other budgets are still waiting for DPL approval 15:13:06 <medicalwei> #topic Swags 15:13:31 <nattie> is valessio[m] involved in the swag design at all? 15:13:32 <medicalwei> I made bag print design (but looks pretty dull) 15:13:39 <nattie> medicalwei: ^^ 15:13:43 <medicalwei> nattie: not yet 15:13:46 <jidanni> bag has place but no date 15:13:58 <medicalwei> ...but I think I should ask him join us 15:14:05 <nattie> medicalwei: he'd be the first person i'd talk to about that, since he has experience 15:14:10 <nattie> yes, please do 15:14:17 <medicalwei> jidanni: we don't have date and place in previous design either 15:14:30 <medicalwei> #action medicalwei to ask valessio for the swags design 15:15:20 <medicalwei> Also, how's the single colored logos being used? Do we request them from sponsors? or we make our own variants? 15:15:27 <medicalwei> (which sounds to be pretty illegal...) 15:15:43 <medicalwei> https://i.imgur.com/COyJHwJ.png 15:15:53 <nattie> sponsor logos come from sponsors 15:16:38 <medicalwei> nattie: also single colored?
