AndrewLe1 are you here for the open day schedule report? 14:30:57 What is time table for open day talk? 14:31:19 The current time table is on the wiki as is... 14:31:23 We also need to reserve time slot for job fair. 14:31:53 I only filled in the morning. 14:32:06 Somebody else will have to fill in the afternoon. 14:32:15 I think we shall have a deadline for schedule, we really need to info speakers about the time table. 14:32:26 czchen: According to DC17 the job fair appears to be in the afternoon of the first day in DebConf, where the conference programs still going 14:32:59 I think we can have a deadline on June 7? Is that pretty early? 14:33:07 * medicalwei tries to poke AndrewLe1 in Facebook Messenger ;w; 14:33:39 So I should also put job fair onto OpenDay schedule? 14:33:52 jidanni: yes, as this is done in the last year 14:34:06 OK, all day? Or just part? 14:34:26 And what room number etc.? 14:34:29 Just part of the day, preferably afternoon, especially they can have interactions to the sponsors in the 20 minutes break 14:34:45 jidanni: that will be in the open space 14:34:52 OK. 14:35:33 #action AndrewLe1 to make a schedule, with a deadline of June 7? 14:35:52 #action czchen to notify the sponsors about the job fair timeslot 14:36:02 Anything I forgot to put #action or #info? 14:36:10 But what is time slot for job fair? 14:36:34 My idea is the afternoon of the open day, where the programs are still going 14:37:08 Probably we can extend that to the morning 14:37:11 So it will be Jul 28, 13:30 ~ 18:50 ? 14:37:36 Let's just assume that? 14:37:50 Anyone against the schedule? 14:38:00 OK I will edit the wiki tomorrow. 14:38:35 I think we can send a followup about this matter later. 14:38:36 Is job fair only one day? 14:39:02 jidanni: yes, but sponsors can have their booths in DebConf 14:39:13 OK. 14:39:29 #action medicalwei to send a followup email about the job fair schedule in the open day 14:39:36 Anything else? 14:39:46 no for me 14:39:52 no 14:39:54 #topic Venue 14:40:04 #info Yao promised to NCTU people to give list of speakers current statistics of attendees to NCTU end of this month, in order for them to apply funds to cover their own fee. 14:41:07 #info medicalwei needs the room number of Engineer Building 3 to apply the WiFi changes 14:41:25 Also to apply for floor plans. 14:41:58 Nothing else from me 14:42:02 czchen: anything to update? 14:42:10 No 14:42:15 #topic Content 14:42:42 olasd: // 14:42:42 Sure hope there is some content. 14:42:50 OOPS 14:42:56 gwolf: // 14:43:30 #info content team is, presumably, going through the rating 14:43:49 If there is no content then maybe we can invite some famous entertainers. 14:44:03 Haha 14:44:04 #info according to the last meeting, they had set the end of May as the deadline of ranking 14:44:13 jidanni: that can happen after the conference dine 14:44:15 *dinner 14:44:48 * medicalwei defers the content team report 14:44:58 #topic Insurance 14:45:00 czchen: // 14:45:10 What is estimated attendees? We need the number for insurance. Is 380 a reasonable estimated? 14:45:46 czchen: what will happen if we under/overestimate? 14:46:24 I think overestimate is okay since it only increases cost. 14:46:51 hmm. they won't refund us if we just don't use it? 14:47:51 380 sounds to be about right for me? 14:48:35 The tarif is per attendee, or just the band (with some min-max). In last case probably we should not worry to much on exact numbers 14:48:41 okay, then I will send mail and use 380 as attendee. 14:48:46 underestimate seems easier? I mean we can always do that per person right? before the last minute? 14:49:15 Like we buy insurance last minute in the airport. 14:50:47 #action czchen to make sure what kind of tariff does the insurance company use. 14:51:02 (per attendee or min-max) 14:51:47 czchen: anything else 14:51:53 No 14:51:58 But for convenience, just use 380 is another choice.. Otherwise we need to do more efforts. 14:52:06 #topic Registration 14:52:26 w 43 14:52:28 argh 14:52:52 anything to report ._.? 14:54:01 #action medicalwei to send email for the current numbers related to registartions. 14:54:28 You also need the list right? 14:54:43 paulliu: not yet as attendees didn 14:54:56 didn't agree on that yet 14:55:09 We have only one week left for NCTU I think. 14:55:21 paulliu: heh?? 14:55:28 paulliu: what do you mean? 14:55:56 ao promised to NCTU people to give list of speakers current statistics of attendees to NCTU end of this month, in order for them to apply funds to cover their own fee 14:55:57 paulliu: I mean, they need list of speakers 14:56:09 ok. 14:56:30 #topic Fundraising 14:56:38 Anything else than the timeslot of job fair? 14:56:44 czchen: // 14:57:10 Just the time slow, I think it is 13:30 ~ 18:50 now? 14:57:13 time slot 14:57:29 Yes. 14:57:52 Anything else from czchen szlin ? 14:58:03 okay, than nothing from me. 14:58:17 I will ping some potential sponsor next week 14:58:27 szlin: for the towels! 14:58:44 the fundraising is going rather well, isn't it? 14:59:07 pollo: not sure yet on the local side 14:59:21 Yeah we can see few local sponsors here... 14:59:27 I'd advise putting less energy into that for now and working on all the other stuff that needs to be done :P 14:59:49 #action szlin to ping potential local sponsors next week 15:00:36 you don't need to stop doing fundraising, but imho other stuff needs to be prioritized for now 15:00:51 agree 15:00:52 pollo: agree on the priority actually 15:01:00 #topic Budgeting 15:01:07 Do we have any deadline for fundraising? 15:01:18 end of May or else 15:01:27 #undo 15:01:27 Removing item from minutes: 15:01:39 szlin: normally the deadline is the t-shirt printing deadline 15:01:43 Some perks might have deadline, like we banner so something 15:01:56 Yes. We need to send T-shirt to print before mid June 15:02:16 Also... valessio[m] // 15:02:24 some sponsors won't mind, but they need to know they won't have some perks 15:02:28 Would you mind helping us for the t-shirt and bags design? 15:02:33 pollo: got it, thanks. 15:02:41 (ah sorry this should be in the topic of swags) 15:03:08 #topic Budgeting 15:03:16 #info We are going to merge NCTU's venue budget and all of our budgets, to ease efforts for NCTU to reimburse. However, as NCTU promised to cover their own venue fee, we will make sure that NCTU has the sole liability to the venue. 15:03:42 pollo: would that mess up the budget? 15:04:13 it's not money DebConf is paying, right? 15:04:28 pollo: if they don't break the promise yes. 15:04:38 (and this is what their window and us are worrying...) 15:05:36 NCTU has budget that cannot spend on NCTU stuff, so they want to do some exchange. 15:05:38 Although I don't really like the idea, I'm sure you have good reasons to do so. I'd advise putting all their stuff in a separate .ledger file and including it in the main journal.ledger one 15:06:07 if you go that way, everything needs to be super clear 15:06:09 pollo: will do so. 15:06:20 Like using Meet Taiwan budget to NCTU, and NCTU can pay for food, or other stuff. 15:06:28 I think I will copy the ledger from dc17 and look into how it's done 15:06:49 you can also use the "Payer" tag we used for DC17 to separate who paid for what 15:07:18 pollo: I will ask about the ledger stuff after the meeting 15:07:19 i.e "Payer: SPI", "Payer: OFC.TW", "Payer: NCTU" 15:07:22 suree 15:07:30 #info medicalwei also provided a list to local team about the liability. The current plan is that bursaries and content expense will be covered by SPI; catering will be covered partially by NCTU and NCHC; the remains (including remains of the catering budget) will be covered by OCF. If the budget in OCF is heavily insufficient we will request SPI to wire transfer money to OCF.
