17:00:12 <pwaring> as always, say hi if you're here
17:00:23 <gwolf> holita
17:00:33 <leommartinez[mds]> Hola
17:00:41 <lenharo> hola
17:00:42 <NorimitsuSugimoto[m]> Hi
17:00:51 <tumbleweed> Hello
17:01:00 <santiago> hi!
17:02:03 <jmkim[m]> o/
17:02:44 <pwaring> #topic DC25: Videos
17:03:45 <martinbayo[mds]> Hola!
17:04:32 <tumbleweed> we've agreed that we should just publish them, but that hasn't happened yet
17:04:35 <tumbleweed> EOM
17:04:41 <gwolf> \o/
17:05:23 <martinbayo[mds]> \o/
17:06:29 <pwaring> #topic DC26: Bursaries and visas
17:06:43 <eamanu> hola!
17:06:55 <LucasKanashiro[mds]> o/
17:07:14 <pwaring> last time a reminder was due to be sent to people who had not accepted bursaries
17:08:07 <tumbleweed> I reminded several people on IRC
17:08:29 <tumbleweed> invoices were created for everyone who was uninvoiced, which would have reminded more people
17:09:17 <tumbleweed> accommodation was reassigned to paid beds for people without accommodation visas, and nattie has been in contact with them
17:09:52 <pwaring> great
17:10:03 <pwaring> anything else we need to say on bursaries and visas?
17:10:08 <martinbayo[mds]> Visas: We've already sent all the invitation letters; we're sending extra information for one application today.
17:11:13 <martinbayo[mds]> I think that there is nothing else pending regarding visas
17:11:48 <tumbleweed> I do see at least one food bursary still pending
17:15:34 <pwaring> #topic DC26: Registration
17:16:40 <pwaring> do we need to say anything on registration at this stage?
17:16:55 <tumbleweed> there is a preliminary room assignment done already
17:17:16 <tumbleweed> still a few beds available, but people have to request them from the registration team, they can't just self-register for accommodation
17:20:47 <pwaring> #topic DC26: Health policy support stuff
17:20:55 <santiago> o/
17:21:14 <santiago> among other stuff, we need to have test kits available at the venue, but their price in .ar has increased (considerably? i.e. 7USD/test)
17:21:45 <santiago> and we are looking for volunteers from other parts of the world, that could buy them for a lower price and could take them to Santa Fe
17:21:54 <santiago> and hopefully in packs of several tests. e.g. a box of 100, 50 or even 20 tests
17:22:52 <santiago> so, this is a call for volunteers :-)
17:23:03 <gwolf> IIRC the cheapest we have found so far was in Europe (Germany)
17:23:30 <gwolf> I found a package I can receive in Mexico, but it was still quite more expensive than that one...
17:23:32 <santiago> maybe fellows from India could get an interesting price?
17:23:36 <pwaring> they are roughly 2GBP in the UK (assuing LFTs)
17:25:12 <gwolf> I can get 25 tests for ~US$110, and I can take along probably 2 or 3 packages... But the German offer was _way_ cheaper (does somebody remember details about it?)
17:25:27 <gwolf> How many tests do you think would be a decent number to have?
17:26:36 <santiago> IIRC, our budget says one per person, in average
17:27:17 <santiago> we are expecting 300 people, so 300 tests
17:28:01 <santiago> to conclude with this topic: please reach out if you are able to help with this. TIA <3
17:28:05 <gwolf> So, I can volunteer to bring 75 tests — https://www.mercadolibre.com.mx/prueba-rapida-covid-realy-tech-c25-pz/up/MLMU3425498380 (USD is currently ~MX$17)
17:29:43 <santiago> gwolf, great!
17:31:33 <pwaring> #topic DC26: Wine sales
17:31:51 <pwaring> not sure if this is related to 'logo usage licence' or if that's a separate item
17:32:22 <leommartinez[mds]> We will have two wines to sell. We'd like to call one "Debian Stable" and the other "Debian LTS" (reserve wine).
17:32:34 <leommartinez[mds]> Is formal permission required to use the Debian logo and name on the wine label?
17:32:54 <gwolf> leommartinez[mds]: I hereby grant you all of the needed licenses.
17:33:14 <gwolf> I mean — it's a wine that ① does not compete in Debian's trademark area (operating systems / computer software)
17:33:34 <gwolf> ② is bottled for the official Debian conference, for Debian developers / users / friends consumption
17:33:41 <gwolf> So no, no further authorization is required.
17:34:14 <santiago> https://www.debian.org/logos/: "(The Debian Open Use Logo(s)) are released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3 or any later version, or, at your option, of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License."
17:34:35 <leommartinez[mds]> Ok, Thanks.
17:34:45 <pwaring> https://www.debian.org/trademark
17:34:50 <pwaring> is the trademark policy
17:35:11 <pwaring> "You can make t-shirts, desktop wallpapers, caps, or other merchandise with Debian trademarks for non-commercial usage."
17:35:28 <tumbleweed> this is commercial use, but benefitting debian
17:35:33 <tumbleweed> that's fine
17:35:36 <santiago> exactly
17:36:17 <pwaring> any other questions on the wine / logo?
17:36:37 <leomartinez> No. Thanks.
17:36:55 <tumbleweed> have we decided on aplan to collect the money from the sales, yet?
17:37:11 <leommartinez[mds]> tumbleweed: not yet.
17:37:13 <tumbleweed> cash / local card facilities through ... / our website ?
17:37:47 <tumbleweed> do we need to have some sort of pre-sale / reservation to get numbers?
17:38:04 <leommartinez[mds]> tumbleweed: that would be great
17:38:44 <tumbleweed> OK, can start on that
17:38:53 <tumbleweed> but we'll need prices and a plan for getting paid before we can launch it
17:38:54 <leommartinez[mds]> Great
17:39:06 <leommartinez[mds]> i'll send you the info
17:40:06 <pwaring> #topic DC27
17:40:25 <pwaring> is there anything we need to discuss about DC27 at this point?
17:40:43 <NorimitsuSugimoto[m]> There is no progress
17:41:06 <gwolf> No worries, we are with more than ample time yet :-]
17:41:11 <NorimitsuSugimoto[m]> Now that the room assignment review is complete, I'm calculating the venue rental fee.
17:41:17 <gwolf> Not every week we can expect important developments (-:
17:41:54 <NorimitsuSugimoto[m]> OK
17:42:21 <pwaring> yes most discussion will be DC26 given the looming start date :)
17:42:26 <pwaring> #topic Meeting schedule
17:42:38 <pwaring> next meeting will be 16th June, 17:00 as usual and on the weekly schedule
17:42:44 <gwolf> +1
17:43:06 <pwaring> we have 4 meetings until Debcamp
17:43:12 <pwaring> #topic AOB
17:43:16 <pwaring> anything else before we finish?
17:43:17 <gwolf> yes, I have one
17:43:31 <gwolf> Might not be needed to have the full meeting quorum, but still
17:43:54 <gwolf> About to buy the 75 COVID tests I suggested, but I found another one — Do you think this is sensible? (I tend to think it is)
17:43:58 <gwolf> https://www.mercadolibre.com.mx/prueba-rapida-4-en-1-covid-influenza-ab-y-vsr-caja-25-pz/up/MLMU3656327328
17:44:17 <gwolf> In short — Instead of MX$1800 (~US$110) for 25, it costs MX$3000
17:44:42 <gwolf> But tests are for four illnesses, not only COVID (it's COVID, influenza A/B and VSR)
17:44:50 <gwolf> Should I go for this one instead?
17:45:05 <DLange> Do you want to isolate people with a flu (influenza)?
17:45:17 <gwolf> well, it warrants the same amount of care as COVID
17:45:22 <tumbleweed> it does help to know what you've got, to make good decisions
17:45:30 <DLange> If so, buy them. If not, we need not know. Save money.
17:46:05 <gwolf> We can also not know whether they have COVID, and we save _more_ money!
17:46:57 <DLange> Right, but the health policy says differently
17:47:20 <gwolf> right. And we made sure that the  health policy is not COVID-specific
17:48:30 <gwolf> I mean, it does mention COVID specifically... But IMO hiding other similar maladies is lying, cheating, and taking the name of our leader in vain
17:48:33 <gwolf> (maybe not the last one)
17:48:46 <gwolf> Anyway, lets take this off-meeting... Won't buy right away
17:48:56 <gwolf> but I should not take the attention of everybody.
17:49:06 <DLange> My view is we can spend $300 better elsewhere
17:49:39 <DLange> but you buy, you choose
17:49:52 <gwolf> I will buy, with Debian's money
17:50:12 <gwolf> DLange: so, not to sideline you — do you agree if I take this to the committee for a joint decision?
17:50:13 <DLange> there's valid arguments either way
17:50:15 <santiago> and should all the tests have to be of the same kind?
17:50:43 <DLange> I agree if you just decide that for yourself
17:51:07 <DLange> no need for a commitee decision or a GR :-)
17:51:11 <gwolf> OK... That closes my AOB :-]
17:52:04 <DLange> good point, santiago
17:52:13 <pwaring> ok, thanks everyone for coming and see you in one week!
