But the German offer was _way_ cheaper (does somebody remember details about it?) 17:25:27 How many tests do you think would be a decent number to have? 17:26:36 IIRC, our budget says one per person, in average 17:27:17 we are expecting 300 people, so 300 tests 17:28:01 to conclude with this topic: please reach out if you are able to help with this. TIA <3 17:28:05 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 gwolf, great! 17:31:33 #topic DC26: Wine sales 17:31:51 not sure if this is related to 'logo usage licence' or if that's a separate item 17:32:22 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 Is formal permission required to use the Debian logo and name on the wine label? 17:32:54 leommartinez[mds]: I hereby grant you all of the needed licenses. 17:33:14 I mean — it's a wine that ① does not compete in Debian's trademark area (operating systems / computer software) 17:33:34 ② is bottled for the official Debian conference, for Debian developers / users / friends consumption 17:33:41 So no, no further authorization is required. 17:34:14 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 Ok, Thanks. 17:34:45 https://www.debian.org/trademark 17:34:50 is the trademark policy 17:35:11 "You can make t-shirts, desktop wallpapers, caps, or other merchandise with Debian trademarks for non-commercial usage." 17:35:28 this is commercial use, but benefitting debian 17:35:33 that's fine 17:35:36 exactly 17:36:17 any other questions on the wine / logo? 17:36:37 No. Thanks. 17:36:55 have we decided on aplan to collect the money from the sales, yet? 17:37:11 tumbleweed: not yet. 17:37:13 cash / local card facilities through ... / our website ? 17:37:47 do we need to have some sort of pre-sale / reservation to get numbers? 17:38:04 tumbleweed: that would be great 17:38:44 OK, can start on that 17:38:53 but we'll need prices and a plan for getting paid before we can launch it 17:38:54 Great 17:39:06 i'll send you the info 17:40:06 #topic DC27 17:40:25 is there anything we need to discuss about DC27 at this point? 17:40:43 There is no progress 17:41:06 No worries, we are with more than ample time yet :-] 17:41:11 Now that the room assignment review is complete, I'm calculating the venue rental fee. 17:41:17 Not every week we can expect important developments (-: 17:41:54 OK 17:42:21 yes most discussion will be DC26 given the looming start date :) 17:42:26 #topic Meeting schedule 17:42:38 next meeting will be 16th June, 17:00 as usual and on the weekly schedule 17:42:44 +1 17:43:06 we have 4 meetings until Debcamp 17:43:12 #topic AOB 17:43:16 anything else before we finish? 17:43:17 yes, I have one 17:43:31 Might not be needed to have the full meeting quorum, but still 17:43:54 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 https://www.mercadolibre.com.mx/prueba-rapida-4-en-1-covid-influenza-ab-y-vsr-caja-25-pz/up/MLMU3656327328 17:44:17 In short — Instead of MX$1800 (~US$110) for 25, it costs MX$3000 17:44:42 But tests are for four illnesses, not only COVID (it's COVID, influenza A/B and VSR) 17:44:50 Should I go for this one instead? 17:45:05 Do you want to isolate people with a flu (influenza)? 17:45:17 well, it warrants the same amount of care as COVID 17:45:22 it does help to know what you've got, to make good decisions 17:45:30 If so, buy them. If not, we need not know. Save money. 17:46:05 We can also not know whether they have COVID, and we save _more_ money! 17:46:57 Right, but the health policy says differently 17:47:20 right. And we made sure that the health policy is not COVID-specific 17:48:30 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 (maybe not the last one) 17:48:46 Anyway, lets take this off-meeting... Won't buy right away 17:48:56 but I should not take the attention of everybody. 17:49:06 My view is we can spend $300 better elsewhere 17:49:39 but you buy, you choose 17:49:52 I will buy, with Debian's money 17:50:12 DLange: so, not to sideline you — do you agree if I take this to the committee for a joint decision? 17:50:13 there's valid arguments either way 17:50:15 and should all the tests have to be of the same kind? 17:50:43 I agree if you just decide that for yourself 17:51:07 no need for a commitee decision or a GR :-) 17:51:11 OK... That closes my AOB :-] 17:52:04 good point, santiago 17:52:13 ok, thanks everyone for coming and see you in one week! 17:52:15 #endmeeting
