On by phone 19:08:22 <DLange> do you have an idea from when we will accept sponsor material being sent in? 19:09:45 <tzafrir> This is basically Tamir's office. So as long as it does not take much space, I guess it will not be much of an issue. 19:10:16 <nattiemh[m]1> Oh, sweet summer child... 19:10:21 <DLange> ok 19:10:35 <tzafrir> But do they send so early? 19:10:41 <DLange> it typically is not too much stuff, a few cubic meters 19:10:51 <tumbleweed> earlier is better than arriving too late, because it's stuck in customs 19:10:56 <tumbleweed> we don't want to encourage them to be late 19:13:55 <DLange> any experience with how long customs processing + local shipping take in Israel? 19:14:41 <tzafrir> There is currently some lag with packages sent through regular Israeli Post. 19:14:50 <tzafrir> I guess it will get resolved 19:15:10 <nattiemh[m]1> In that case, sending early is probably a good idea 19:15:47 <tzafrir> But that does not apply to faster delivery methods. 19:15:57 <nattiemh[m]1> I'm guessing other carriers are an option, though? (DHL, FedEx, UPS...) 19:16:07 <tzafrir> yes 19:16:13 <nattiemh[m]1> Right 19:16:53 <tzafrir> So, next item? 19:17:02 <nattiemh[m]1> Sure 19:17:19 <tzafrir> More local sponsors 19:17:42 <DLange> or in other words: where is the rest of the local team? 19:17:51 <DLange> esp. the fundraising people... 19:18:16 <tzafrir> Lior cannot be here now, he'll join later in the channel 19:18:28 <nattiemh[m]1> Ok 19:19:19 <tzafrir> We made a few initial contacts (Lior can update on those), but nothing concrete. 19:20:24 <DLange> we have a technology hub country and zero local sponsors, that's a bit underwhelming 19:20:46 <DLange> so please put some emphasis on this week 19:21:23 * h01ger remembers how 'many local sponsors' was a selling point of the bid 19:22:00 <h01ger> (so i'm surprised now. thats all i want to say with that. and that there's lots of potential) 19:22:30 <DLange> yes, potential is abundant 19:22:46 <DLange> but we need to start getting that in now 19:24:09 <tzafrir> #action local team should try to get more sponsor contacts this week 19:24:16 <tzafrir> Is that right? 19:24:20 <DLange> yes please 19:24:42 <tzafrir> So, next item? 19:25:15 <tzafrir> #topic Bursary Team Update 19:27:06 <nattiemh[m]1> Anybody? 19:27:23 <tumbleweed> Asking DSA to update the bursaries aliases 19:27:58 <tumbleweed> DLange and gwolf will be admins, this year 19:29:10 <DLange> so we should have a bursary timing by the next meeting and hopefully know when we can open registration 19:30:07 <DLange> o/ George 19:30:34 <DLange> azeem and terceiro got me an update on the CFP 19:30:54 <kesaev> Hello, sorry for being late 19:30:59 <DLange> it hinges on some wafer upstream change that should be merged soon™ 19:31:08 <DLange> o/ karina 19:31:27 <DLange> so they are confident we can get the CFP out "real soon now" 19:32:19 <karina> hello, sorry for being late 19:32:20 <DLange> tumbleweed has a list of things needed to open registration: 19:32:24 <DLange> #link https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc20/issues/14 19:33:10 <DLange> please priorize these so we get ready in about 4-6 weeks 19:33:35 <tzafrir> Do you want a separate topic on that? 19:33:52 <tzafrir> (blockers for reistration?) 19:34:02 <DLange> no, just that people work on their topics 19:34:10 <DLange> between meetings that is :) 19:35:05 <DLange> e.g. from when to we have accom for people coming in for DebCamp? 19:35:16 <DLange> from when for orga people? 19:35:27 <DLange> by when do people have to vacate the accom again? 19:35:52 <DLange> will you charge extra for the conference dinner, if so how much? 19:36:51 <tzafrir> Anything else on this topic, then? 19:37:23 <DLange> well may be mention: Which T-Shirt sizes are available (=find a supplier and the make of the shirts) 19:37:57 <DLange> also a topic which needs to be reflected in wafer as people choose their T-Shirt size during registration 19:38:00 <DLange> . 19:38:22 <tumbleweed> if we don't have the supplier yet, we can start with a conservative list of sizes 19:38:37 <tumbleweed> and mail people later to say: more sizes update / sizing charts now available 19:38:46 <tumbleweed> but no reason not to find a supplier ASAP 19:41:49 <DLange> AOB? 19:42:06 <tzafrir> #topic AoB 19:42:10 <tzafrir> Any? 19:43:24 <tzafrir> Next meeting: Mon.
