I will talk to zumbi offline. 14:54:09 <czchen> change to? 14:54:43 <zumbi> oh! I understood Miscellaneous as AnyOtherBussiness 14:54:57 <zumbi> not sure if open day is on topic in this section 14:54:58 <nattie> it *is* AOB 14:55:25 <zumbi> https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18/OpenDay#International_Conference_Hall 14:55:42 <zumbi> we open the conference with gender/diversity forum 14:55:51 <jidanni> The minister is coming espciallay early at 1000. 14:56:14 <zumbi> I think we should open with more FOSS oriented talk 14:56:32 <zumbi> the conference is not gender/diversity related (even we care about it) 14:56:41 <jidanni> We have promised gender/diversity leader that this year Debian is serious about gender/diversity and is not moving it to a side room. 14:57:26 <zumbi> still, first talk in simulcast I think needs to be more on the FOSS topic than gender/diversity 14:57:29 <jidanni> That is how we have invited the speakers / guests. See Debianwomen mailing list. 14:58:22 <zumbi> anyway, I just wanted to express my opinion, that's about it, thanks 14:58:39 <jidanni> We will be discussing Debians gender/diversity policy statement. 14:59:15 <czchen> szlin: Do we have any update on catering? 14:59:19 <jidanni> Thanks for your opiniuon. 14:59:41 <zumbi> jidanni: all that is quite fine, but I think it should not be at the opening, but for later, we should open with FOSS -- but if I am the only one that disagree feel free to ignore me 14:59:43 <szlin> czchen: yes, Andrew finded the supplier 14:59:56 <DLange> jidanni: perhaps rename to "Gender/Diversity in Free Software forum" 15:00:30 <jidanni> The time is fixed due to agreements with the minister and hosts and guests. 15:01:05 <jidanni> If you still want to move it to a side room you need to discuss it with Debianwomen and leader imacat. 15:01:13 <zumbi> jidanni: ok, then I guess it'll be hard to change 15:01:43 <jidanni> If anybody wants to change the name then please discuss it with Debianwomen and leader imacat. 15:02:42 <zumbi> jidanni: ok 15:03:21 <jidanni> Note the minister is coming 10-12, espcially early for this. 15:03:34 <czchen> Rename seem to be a good solution for me. Anyway, we can discuss this offline.] 15:03:41 <DLange> I'm not on that ML, pls. suggest to include Free Software in the title 15:04:03 <zumbi> #action zumbi to suggest to include Free Software in opening talk 15:04:07 <jidanni> We are discussing Gender/Diversity in Debian. 15:04:08 <DLange> this is what DebConf is about and we want to be both on topic and attract people to join the sessions 15:04:36 <DLange> so name it like that and have less issue with people that think you are discussing the world and not Free Software related 15:04:53 <jidanni> Also please invite NCTU President for opening 09:20. 15:05:04 <czchen> jidanni: Since we are discussing Gender/Diversity in Debian, put Free Software to title is a reasonable change. 15:05:36 <jidanni> Please discuss title of session with imacat. 15:06:13 <czchen> We will do it offline. 15:06:18 <jidanni> We have already renamed it several times so you need to check with imacat. 15:06:30 <szlin> czchen: close the meeting? 15:06:42 <jidanni> Any title is fine with me but ask imacat. 15:06:57 <czchen> next meeting time? Jun 14? 15:07:04 <szlin> agree 15:07:06 <nattie> yeah, sure, same thing next week, why not 15:07:21 <jidanni> Need to invite President of NCTU for opening ceremony. 15:08:03 <czchen> #agreed The next meeting time will be Jun 14, 14:30 UTC. 15:08:31 <czchen> #endmeeting
