17:02:12 <pwaring> everything on here is listed as pending on the agenda, so is there anything that needs discussion?
17:02:47 <srud> Nothing as of now
17:03:08 <kannan[m]> Hi
17:03:36 <pwaring> #topic Website
17:03:43 <pwaring> #link https://debconf23.debconf.org/
17:03:49 <tumblingweed> Redesign is live
17:04:00 <pwaring> yep, looks really good
17:04:09 <tumblingweed> Still working on registration improvements for 23
17:04:11 <PirateBady[m]> A couple of reviews are pending to be resolved on the latest MR for updating Visa & Accommodation pages. I'll fix them tomorrow.
17:05:18 <tumblingweed> Probably have something for testing in a couple of days. We must test the bursary side review framework, too
17:06:18 <DLange> Utkarsh seems to be alive, sent bursary emails yesterday
17:06:26 <DLange> please ping him when you have something to test
17:06:54 <pwaring> unless there's anything else, website is in hand and nothing needs discussing at this stage?
17:07:38 <tumblingweed> Yeah, I've been prodding hime to get back into the irc channel
17:08:29 <pwaring> #topic Sponsorship team
17:08:59 <pwaring> last time the MoU with FOSS United was waiting for DPL / redrafting / feedback
17:09:22 <[pirate]praveen> same status now
17:10:23 <pwaring> and there's a question about whether a certification exam by LPI would be useful
17:10:39 <nattie> people like pieces of paper
17:10:41 <pwaring> #link https://www.lpi.org/
17:12:44 <tumblingweed> That's probably more of a question for the local audience than the regular attendees
17:13:05 <nattie> well yes
17:13:35 <[pirate]praveen> I think it'd be interesting to local crowd
17:14:02 <DLange> that's when it becomes interesting for LPI, too :)
17:14:21 <pwaring> unless there's a strong indication either way, we don't need to make a decision at this point
17:14:42 <[pirate]praveen> we have to reply to them
17:15:23 <pwaring> ok, we can pick up again next time
17:15:37 <pwaring> #topic Visa team
17:16:03 <pwaring> agenda item says we're waiting for confirmation from InfoPark - has that changed?
17:16:26 <srud> Not yet.. They didn't reply
17:17:50 <pwaring> ok

17:19:12 <tumblingweed> As I mentioned earlier, in  progress
17:19:43 <pwaring> #topic Progress on Haifa DebConf
17:19:54 <pwaring> tzafrir: do you want to say anything on this?
17:20:36 <tzafrir> I tried  several venues.
17:21:03 <tzafrir> I currently can't get a reasonable price for July or August. Maybe for September.
17:21:37 <tzafrir> We may want to consider contacting the Technion
17:21:50 <tzafrir> But we're still looking for the proper contact there.
17:22:00 <DLange> carina used to work there not?
17:22:30 <carina> yes. sometime ago.
17:23:21 <DLange> may be you could put tzafrir in contact with somebody at Technion that could provide venue support for us?
17:23:46 <carina> Unfortunately, no efforts were made on my part for sometime (deeply ashamed). can I ask until next meeting another chance to try again?
17:24:48 <DLange> no need to apologize! Please try to establish contact and report back when you have any results (or needed to give up)
17:25:02 <DLange> we can keep the item on the agenda for review again in two weeks
17:25:04 <pwaring> okay, we'll leave this as an update for next time
17:25:10 <pwaring> #topic Meeting Schedule
17:25:18 <pwaring> next meetings are: 3rd April, 17th April
17:25:32 <pwaring> only thing to note is that clocks go forward in most places before the next meeting, so it will be an hour later local time
17:25:50 <pwaring> still 17:00 UTC
17:25:59 <pwaring> #topic AOB
17:26:05 <pwaring> anything else that needs to be discussed/agreed?
