Need to info speaker I has invited. 14:33:10 <medicalwei> czchen: ... I asked him to confirm that before Jun 30. 14:33:24 <medicalwei> czchen: should I tell him to confirm the schedule sooner? 14:33:46 <czchen> Maybe we can fill some slots for the confirmed speakers. 14:34:03 <medicalwei> #info paulliu will host the opening of Open Day, and talk about DFSG to the general public 14:34:11 <Atomic_dF5Zk> ok 14:34:39 <medicalwei> #action AndrewLee to fill the schedule of confirmed speakers. 14:34:41 <nattie> hi 14:34:44 <medicalwei> Nothing more from me 14:34:59 <czchen> next? 14:35:12 <cate> Hello (sorry I'm arrived late) 14:35:21 <medicalwei> #topic Venue 14:35:35 <medicalwei> #info medicalwei sent Wi-Fi/ethernet configuration request to IT department of NCTU. They will have a captive portal free SSID for us. 14:35:49 <medicalwei> Nothing more from me. 14:35:57 <tumbleweed> o/ (late) 14:35:59 <medicalwei> czchen: any update for the Engineering Bldg 3? 14:36:11 <czchen> No, will send a mail to confirm that 14:36:11 <gwolf> Relaying a question from Ana on Content Team - I understand we have two auditorium-like and one BoF-like rooms. Is there any chance to get more BoF-like ones, even "losing" an auditorium? 14:36:30 <gwolf> (I am *almost* certain you already said that's not possible, but...) 14:36:36 <czchen> They also need to arrange classroom for summer classes, so it we might need to wait a bit. 14:37:14 <medicalwei> #action czchen to send email to confirm the room of Engineering Bldg 3 14:37:33 <czchen> The additional rooms can only be booked in Engineering Building 3 since there is no room available for MIRC. 14:37:42 <medicalwei> gwolf: probably losing a hacklab is possible? 14:38:10 <nattie> why would we do that? 14:38:16 <gwolf> medicalwei: OK, that would be unfortunate as those are often needed, but we can count on that possibility (and confirm later, when we are closer to having a schedule) 14:38:43 <gwolf> nattie: because we have many BoFs, and they are often best in a better-suited room 14:38:51 <nattie> it seems to me like the request is to exchange one of the auditoria for one (or several?) classroom(s) 14:39:04 <nattie> gwolf: i meant, why would we want to lose a hacklab? 14:39:24 <gwolf> nattie: yes, that's the request 14:39:39 <nattie> let's try to implement it as requested rather than losing a hacklab 14:39:48 <medicalwei> nattie: ok... 14:39:53 <gwolf> *I*'m still uncertain of the real load balance of sessions. But I have to at least relay the idea 14:40:03 <jidanni> Should I tell bdale he is no longer needed for opening session? 14:40:15 <nattie> no 14:40:44 <medicalwei> #info Content team wants another BoF room (in MIRC, not in Engineering Bldg?) 14:40:52 <czchen> gwolf: when can we get the balance of sessions? We might be able to book some rooms from engineering build 3. 14:41:39 <gwolf> czchen: We are slowly going through the rating (me among the slowest), but we had set the end of May as the (in-team) deadline for ranking 14:42:05 <gwolf> czchen: I don't remember our schedule in detail, but IIRC we expected to publish a prelim-schedule at mid-June 14:42:44 <medicalwei> I think I can shift topic to content for this 14:42:47 <medicalwei> #topic Content 14:42:52 <medicalwei> #info Content team is slowly going through the rating, but they had set the end of May as the (in-team) deadline for ranking 14:43:01 <gwolf> OK - Yes, that's it :) 14:43:07 <medicalwei> #info Content team expected to publish a preliminary schedule at mid-June. 14:43:13 <gwolf> (oops, phone just rang here - hang a sec) 14:43:29 <czchen> NCTU will help to book classrooms in engineering build 3 at Jun 12, we might need to get our requirements before that day. 14:43:33 <medicalwei> Anything to update from content team? 14:43:40 <gwolf> not much tbh 14:43:56 <czchen> nothing from me 14:44:09 <medicalwei> #topic Insurance 14:44:22 <medicalwei> czchen: // 14:44:43 <czchen> Need a form to collection formation for day drip insurance 14:45:01 <czchen> The required information is in https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc18/blob/master/insurance/insurance.md 14:45:12 <czchen> passport name, passport number, date of birth. 14:45:15 <medicalwei> #link https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc18/blob/master/insurance/insurance.md required information from attendees 14:45:37 <czchen> #info We need to collect passport name, passport number, date of birth for day drip insurance. 14:45:41 <gwolf> (sorry, a work call landed just at the worst possible time of meeting :( ) 14:46:19 <czchen> I think the form can be in registration system, and along with Meet Taiwan / NCTU funds. 14:46:22 <zumbi> o/ 14:46:57 <DLange> czchen: would it be enough to collect the info at the busses or do we need that upfront? 14:47:22 <czchen> deadline is 2 days before day trip. 14:48:14 <medicalwei> #info day trip insurance application needs to take place 2 days before event 14:48:45 <olasd> why are we looking at insurance for the day trip? What we usually need insurance for is coverage for the venue; people can get their own travel insurance for their own liability 14:50:25 <DLange> it is common in Taiwan / China to ensure risk so there is (besides gross neglect) no liability left at the people conducting the trip etc. 14:50:44 <DLange> (insurances are cheap compared to Western countries) 14:51:46 <medicalwei> I think I should send a follow-up for travel insurance 14:51:54 <czchen> okay 14:52:13 <medicalwei> #action medicalwei to send a follow-up email for travel insurance for raison d'etre. 14:52:26 <medicalwei> #topic Registration 14:52:56 <jidanni> Maybe need typhoon insurance. 14:53:34 <DLange> #info 380 attendees registered so far 14:53:55 <medicalwei> DLange: ...HEH? 14:54:04 <medicalwei> How many completed their registration? 14:54:35 <DLange> ~320 from the data I can see 14:54:45 <DLange> olasd or tumbleweed can tell you for sure 14:54:52 <nattie> i'll just go inquire 14:55:05 <olasd> sounds about right 14:55:52 <medicalwei> #info we also need a page for personal data requests, and a statement for their personal data usage, probably along with confirmation. 14:56:22 <medicalwei> Nothing from me 14:56:51 <medicalwei> Next topic? 14:57:04 <medicalwei> #topic Fundraising 14:57:26 <czchen> Please help to check if sponsors want to participate job fair 14:57:31 <czchen> Current status is in https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/sponsors/sponsors/blob/master/dc18/fulfillment/fulfillment.md 14:57:42 <medicalwei> #link https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/sponsors/sponsors/blob/master/dc18/fulfillment/fulfillment.md for sponsor windows please check the checklist 14:57:53 <DLange> I'd go the other way, czchen 14:58:23 <czchen> ? 14:58:30 <DLange> send them an email with job fair info (one or two days, how long, where, what you provide (tables, chairs, ...) and then ask them to (re-)confirm interest 14:58:51 * znoteer_ slinks quietly in to the meeting 14:59:11 * medicalwei[m] thinks his IRC client is broken 14:59:27 * DLange hears znoteer's chair squeeking 14:59:30 <czchen> Look good to me. But I think we do not decide how long the job fair will be. 15:00:02 <czchen> Also, we need to check with NCTU about tables/chairs. I can do that. 15:00:04 <DLange> well then let's decide this 15:00:08 <DLange> and check this 15:00:11 <medicalwei[m]> Did we agreed that to be 3 days? 15:00:17 <DLange> and then bug sponsors _with_ info 15:00:27 <czchen> #action czchen will check with NCTU about table / chair for jobfair. 15:00:28 <DLange> it used to be 3hrs 15:01:07 <czchen> Some Taiwan sponsors want more days for job fair. 15:01:10 <DLange> if we make that three days, I'd do one or two hours each day but unless you have a lot of locals coming it well be boring the second day and dead boring the third day 15:01:28 <DLange> remember we do not have a normal "fair" like attendance but stable people there all week 15:01:48 <DLange> so one slot is enough for them, two chances to meet with job offerers is plenty 15:01:55 <czchen> Sponsors can still in their booth even after job fair right? 15:01:59 <medicalwei[m]> DLange: same as in Taiwanese conferences. 15:02:02 <gwolf> I also don't think there is much to gain from three days (two seems a bit too much IMO anyway) 15:02:13 <medicalwei[m]> (not a fair-like attendance but in a conference) 15:02:23 <DLange> czchen: sure. Sponsors booth and job fair can be different things 15:02:42 <DLange> we had that during DC15 15:02:58 <medicalwei[m]> Ouch we made it the same thing. 15:03:06 <czchen> So for Taiwan sponsors, maybe sponsors booth is enough? 15:03:16 <medicalwei[m]> DLange: so we mistaken that as a continued job fair 15:03:27 <DLange> well, if the look to hire, make them come to the job fair 15:03:28 * medicalwei[m] d'ohs 15:03:43 <czchen> So for job fair, do we need a dedicated time slot, with no other sessions? 15:03:46 <DLange> if they look to present their products, make them do a booth with demos / give aways 15:03:52 <DLange> need not be the same thing 15:04:04 <DLange> but people do not want to go to a job fair and be sold a new laptop 15:04:12 <gwolf> It's not the same thing - Of course they can continue to possibly-hire in a sponsor booth, but it's quite different figures 15:04:17 <DLange> and people looking for a new laptop do not want to be hired. Usually. 15:05:34 <medicalwei> #action medicalwei to send a follow up email for correcting the job fair to 1 day and having sponsor booth available for longer days. 15:05:55 * nattie is going to video training now; bye! 15:05:57 <medicalwei> anything else? 15:06:07 <medicalwei> buh-bye/ 15:06:09 <czchen> #action czchen will check with sponsor about job fair / sponsor booth after we confirmed the days. 15:06:16 <czchen> nothing from me. 15:06:37 <medicalwei> #topic Budgeting 15:07:01 <medicalwei> #info medicalwei is waiting for DPL's response. 15:07:15 <medicalwei> #info AndrewLee needs to pay brewery before May 20. 15:07:30 <medicalwei> #info expected to be approved in this week 15:07:34 <gwolf> (...still? :-/ ) 15:07:42 <medicalwei> ...;w; 15:07:49 <DLange> lotsa back-and-forth with our DPL 15:07:53 <medicalwei> gwolf: pretty sooooon ;w; 15:08:14 <DLange> pretty soon™ 15:08:52 <medicalwei> #info we probably will send a budget update in June for stretch goals of swags (towels and chopsticks etc.) 15:09:03 <medicalwei> nothing else from me 15:09:29 <znoteer_> I saw on the mail list that dpl already approved the budget, no? 15:09:48 <medicalwei> znoteer_: ...only the bursary? 15:09:59 <znoteer_> no, the whole thing 15:10:06 <medicalwei> znoteer_: where did you see that O_O? 15:10:23 <znoteer_> I got the email at 14:47 utc 15:10:25 <medicalwei> During the meeting.... 15:10:30 * medicalwei d'ohs 15:10:49 <medicalwei> #info ...DPL approved the budget DURING THE MEETING. 15:11:01 <medicalwei> #topic Swags 15:11:42 <medicalwei> I am asked to reconsider about the quick dry shirt because of the humid weather in Taiwan 15:11:51 <medicalwei> What's your opinions? 15:12:21 <jidanni> 100% cotton comfy. 15:12:47 <medicalwei> Without getting too much sweaty? 15:13:03 <znoteer_> 100% cotton not comfy when covered in sweat 15:13:10 <gwolf> I am also sided towards cotton. 15:13:17 <DLange> medicalwei[m]: yeah! and congrats to your persistance and dedication! 15:13:37 <gwolf> The shirts are not just to be worn @DebConf (I hope nobody wears them every day during the conference!) but later on 15:14:13 <medicalwei> Okay... so we can safely tell them to bring sports shirt to DebConf and provide them cotton ones? 15:14:14 <gwolf> (besides, when going to unbearably hot and humid weather, for December every year... I don't like to even think about anything other than cotton) 15:14:23 <_rene_> I don't see why you wouldn't want 100% cotton there either 15:14:58 <medicalwei> AndrewLee proposed the same reason as znoteer_ 15:15:00 <gwolf> (also - printing on cotton is usually easier / cheaper. Printing on polyester-ish requires some different tech) 15:15:36 <medicalwei> gwolf: nice expertise 15:15:52 <medicalwei> nothing else from me... and 15:15:54 <gwolf> medicalwei: I'd like to add a AFAICT IMHO to it ;-) 15:16:07 <gwolf> I worked printing, and know *some* things, but I can be surprised. Often. 15:16:15 <gwolf> It's just that I'm sometimes too certain of myself 15:16:20 <medicalwei> #action order badge lanyards and sleeves since the budget have been approved \owo/ 15:16:23 <medicalwei> #undo 15:16:23 <MeetBot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x22ff710> 15:16:28 <medicalwei> #action medicalwei to order badge lanyards and sleeves since the budget have been approved \owo/ 15:16:57 <medicalwei> Nothing else from me 15:17:08 <medicalwei> #topic Child care 15:17:41 <medicalwei> gavin: online? 15:18:00 <szlin> gwolf: he is taking care his child now 15:18:00 <medicalwei> I will forward messages from local team meeting 15:18:09 <szlin> gwolf: wrong :x sorry 15:18:15 <szlin> medicalwei: ^ 15:18:26 <gwolf> szlin: Sadly my children will be in the antipodes of Taiwan during DebConf :-] 15:18:39 <medicalwei> #info 3-4 children needs childcare 15:19:24 <medicalwei> #info childcare services will be paid from OCF 15:19:36 <zumbi> do we need to hire someone? 15:19:59 <medicalwei> zumbi: we are going to hire 2-3 people 15:20:14 <zumbi> 2-3 people for 3-4 children sounds odd 15:20:55 <zumbi> also I got 2, we should be able to take care of them (or share with other families) 15:21:38 <medicalwei> Probably also legal requirements for babies that required licensed babysitters 15:21:47 <gwolf> zumbi: If childcare is provided, you will be able to use it. That might be more fun for your kids (sharing more time with other kids!) and allow you and your wife to sneak off and have a grown-up-drink or so 15:21:50 <medicalwei> but as far as i know there's no babies 15:22:15 <medicalwei> Also for suprise children we need to take care of as well 15:22:19 <gwolf> medicalwei: is there a clear definition of the boundary between baby and child? 15:22:23 <zumbi> gwolf: sure, but I feel bad if we have this service only for my 2 kids and a couple more 15:22:30 <medicalwei> below/above 2 15:22:34 <gwolf> OK 15:22:49 <gwolf> I'd argue, but there's no point in doing so :) Law is lawy. 15:22:58 <zumbi> medicalwei: anyway, we can discuss offline, after meeting, feel free to proceed. 15:23:06 <medicalwei> okay. 15:23:12 <AndrewLee> hi.
