But we can come back to that later under t-shirts 18:03:10 <tumbleweed> DLange: yeah 18:03:47 <nattie> do we need an action on that, or are we aware? 18:04:26 <nattie> #topic t-shirts 18:04:40 <tumbleweed> BTW, 158 complete registrations as of now 18:04:53 <nattie> #undo 18:04:53 <MeetBot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Topic object at 0x1726c50> 18:05:00 <nattie> #info there are 158 registrations so far 18:05:03 <nattie> #topic t-shirts 18:05:31 <nattie> there's a t-shirt team, we're in #teamshirts, and we've been contacting various potential suppliers in order to find the best solution 18:05:35 <tumbleweed> \o/ 18:06:06 <nattie> Printful would be our fallback, but we have another possible supplier who's looking very promising, and i've also asked Andrew for another quote with an estimate for shipping 18:06:36 <nattie> other suppliers wouldn't have been able to do the shipping for us, so they're out of the running this time around 18:07:18 <gwolf> Sorry, I cannot join today's meeting :-( 18:07:27 <tumbleweed> So, you're expecting a variety of local printing groups? Maybe 1 to take the rest of the global load, or printful for that? 18:07:34 <nattie> and yeah, we'll have to add a field for people to put a shipping address - it doesn't have to be their home address, but it has to be somewhere the shirt would actually reach them 18:07:52 <terceiro> ok 18:08:12 <DLange> nb: most international shipping also needs the phone number of the recipient these days 18:08:20 <DLange> (good that we ask that already :)) 18:08:28 <tumbleweed> it isn't required, though 18:08:33 <nattie> i've reached out to the people i know of who are trying to organise shirts locally, so hopefully we'll come up with something between us 18:08:45 <tumbleweed> I suspect we'll need some t-shirt registration instructions 18:08:55 <bremner> has anyone thought about customs? people should know they might have to pay for their free shirt 18:09:03 <tumbleweed> i.e. here's who we'll make shirts for (quite possibly not everyone who registers) 18:09:07 <tumbleweed> yeah, potential customs fees 18:09:18 <tumbleweed> this is why you should give us a phone number 18:09:20 <tumbleweed> etc. 18:09:28 <nattie> yeah, we had fun looking at customs charges :-/ 18:10:34 <DLange> typically there is a "gift" upper bound (~USD 20) 18:10:54 <DLange> we should be below that for one T-Shirt and mask 18:10:59 <tumbleweed> that does require the shipper to label it as a gift, though 18:11:14 <tumbleweed> my experience in ZA was that t-shirt shipping companies would label it as a t-shirt, and customs would be charged 18:11:27 <DLange> ack. And it is if DebConf pays for it. 18:11:47 <DLange> ZA is special because of textile import duty 18:12:00 <tumbleweed> yeah 18:13:18 <DLange> anything else on T-Shirts? 18:13:27 <tumbleweed> sub-topic: masks 18:13:43 <tumbleweed> From what I heard from nattie, you're lokoing at them, but they're a nice to have extra, rather than critical 18:14:19 <nattie> yeah, from my perspective 18:14:54 <tumbleweed> thanks! 18:15:05 <tumbleweed> BTW from the budget section later, it looks like we're *well* in the black 18:15:16 <tumbleweed> that doesn't mean we want to spend hundreds of dollars on shirts 18:15:24 <tumbleweed> but it does mean there's headroom 18:15:55 <nattie> is there much more to say on this for now, or shall we move on? 18:16:16 <tumbleweed> move on 18:16:20 <nattie> #topic budget 18:16:30 <nattie> ok, money mavens, your turn to shine 18:16:36 <tumbleweed> Updated the spreadsheet. Thanks for the update DLange 18:16:55 <tumbleweed> we're budgeting $16k in the black now 18:17:40 <tumbleweed> at some point, the t-shirt people will start racking up expenses 18:17:52 <tumbleweed> we should probably get a signed off budget from the DPL before then 18:17:59 <tumbleweed> or at least pre-approval for some amount of spending 18:18:27 <DLange> ack. We need that or the TOs will rightfully say "nope". 18:18:37 <tumbleweed> So, shall we freeze it at this point? 18:18:47 <tumbleweed> nattie: any idea if the t-shirt numbers in there are sane? 18:18:54 <nattie> just a moment 18:18:58 <DLange> I guess once we know how many and how much each costs? 18:19:27 <tumbleweed> #link https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/data/dc20-online/-/tree/master/budget 18:19:33 <nattie> tumbleweed: i will hopefully have a better idea within a few days, and will mention it then 18:19:49 <tumbleweed> for reference: we were budgeting $10 shirts, $5 masks, $7.5 shipping for 300 attendees 18:20:21 <nattie> that sounds fairly reasonable; i'll say if the figures i get deviate significantly from that 18:20:46 <tumbleweed> so, any actions here? 18:20:57 <tumbleweed> or shall we leave this another week? 18:21:01 <nattie> not that i'm aware of 18:21:06 <nattie> we should know a lot more next week 18:21:21 <nattie> how about bursaries? 18:21:59 <DLange> we have no working web i/f yet 18:22:07 <tumbleweed> 5 applications so far 18:22:16 <tumbleweed> DLange: bursaries doesn't have a web interface 18:22:18 <DLange> that should be manageable :D 18:22:24 <tumbleweed> it's done through CSV APIs 18:22:43 <DLange> tumbleweed: the admin view is missing the field, that's what I meant 18:22:54 <tumbleweed> (which probably need updating for the new bursary type) 18:23:25 <DLange> fix the admin before the CSV. If the numbers stay low gwolf and me can do that just via the web i/f. 18:23:48 <terceiro> ok 18:24:02 <terceiro> I'm taking notes of pending stuff in the website FWIW 18:24:10 <nattie> terceiro: excellent 18:24:25 <nattie> i won't do an action item in that case 18:24:28 <nattie> #topic videoteam 18:24:39 <tumbleweed> So, video team had a sprint this weekend 18:25:09 <DLange> thanks terceiro 18:25:11 <tumbleweed> I don't think there's any write up from it, yet 18:25:26 <tumbleweed> But, we've been making progress on our video stack 18:25:51 <tumbleweed> Feeling pretty confident that it'll be a lot nicer than mdco's 18:26:15 <tumbleweed> we're expecting 1 track, at the moment 18:26:36 <tumbleweed> if the content team wants more (or a separately streamed bof room, for example), we can probably handle it 18:26:39 <tumbleweed> but we will need to talk :) 18:26:55 <highvoltage> we had minimalistic planning for mdco's stack so I'd be very surprised if it doesn't end up nicer for the full DC :) 18:27:10 <tumbleweed> it was the MVP of stacks, yes :) 18:27:42 <tumbleweed> The team has been producing some guidance for speakers to prepare recorded talks 18:27:46 <tumbleweed> #link https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs/advice_for_recording.html 18:27:49 <highvoltage> 1 track also simplifies things a lot I hope that the content team keeps it there 18:28:12 <highvoltage> (maybe for a future online DC it might be better branching out there but probably not on the first one) 18:28:36 <tumbleweed> And there's a speakerdesk to help them out 18:28:50 <terceiro> IMO we should keep it to 1 track this time 18:28:58 <nattie> yes 18:29:07 <tumbleweed> of course, the jitsi has an infinite number of rooms 18:29:08 <terceiro> (content hat on) 18:29:14 <nattie> terceiro: hold on 18:29:15 <tumbleweed> so if people want to have an ad-hoc meeting about something, they can 18:29:24 <nattie> content is next :) 18:29:25 <tumbleweed> but it won't be recorded or streamed outside of that room 18:29:54 <tumbleweed> That's all I have to say on video 18:30:02 <nattie> #topic content 18:30:06 <nattie> terceiro: now :) 18:30:19 <terceiro> the content hat on was wrt the number of tracks :) 18:30:31 <terceiro> but I can report on submission stats 18:30:32 <highvoltage> maybe I'm too protective of jitsi resources but I'd prefer them even having meetings that fits outside of DebConf on meet.jit.si or jitsi.debian.social instead 18:30:34 <nattie> i know, but i was so close to changing topics 18:30:59 <terceiro> Submission stats: 18:30:59 <terceiro> <terceiro> By track 18:31:00 <terceiro> <terceiro> -------------------------------------------------------------- 18:31:00 <terceiro> <terceiro> Introduction to Free Software & Debian 6 18:31:01 <terceiro> <terceiro> Packaging, policy, and Debian infrastructure 18 18:31:01 <terceiro> <terceiro> Systems administration, automation and orchestration 7 18:31:03 <terceiro> <terceiro> Cloud and containers 2 18:31:03 <terceiro> <terceiro> Security 1 18:31:07 <terceiro> <terceiro> Community, diversity, local outreach and social context 12 18:31:07 <terceiro> <terceiro> Internationalization, Localization and Accessibility 1 18:31:09 <terceiro> <terceiro> Embedded & Kernel 3 18:31:13 <terceiro> <terceiro> Debian Blends and Debian derived distributions 6 18:31:15 <terceiro> <terceiro> Debian in Arts & Science 3 18:31:17 <terceiro> <terceiro> Other 9 18:31:19 <terceiro> <terceiro> By type 18:31:21 <terceiro> <terceiro> -------------------------------------------------------------- 18:31:23 <terceiro> ... 18:31:25 <terceiro> By type 18:31:27 <terceiro> <terceiro> Long talk (45 minutes) 26 18:31:29 <terceiro> <terceiro> Short talk (20 minutes) 18 18:31:31 <terceiro> <terceiro> BoF (45 minutes) 22 18:31:33 <terceiro> <terceiro> Workshop (2h) 0 18:31:35 <terceiro> <terceiro> Sprint 2 18:31:37 <terceiro> <terceiro> Other 0 18:31:39 <terceiro> <terceiro> Event 0 18:31:45 <tumbleweed> #link https://debconf20.debconf.org/talks/statistics/ 18:32:08 <terceiro> I think we have enough reviews and should be able to publish accepted talks Soon(TM) 18:32:23 <DLange> total 68 if my maths is correct 18:32:34 <tumbleweed> 69 according to the stats 18:33:05 <DLange> well, if you add all even numbers and get an odd one :D 18:33:25 <tumbleweed> the difference was the Other: 1 that was added after he collected those 18:33:29 <tumbleweed> (cheese & wine at home) 18:33:45 <DLange> problem solved :) 18:34:12 <nattie> #info we have 69 submissions 18:34:37 <nattie> #info accepted talks should be published Real Soon Now 18:34:41 <nattie> anything else? 18:35:24 <nattie> #topic AOB 18:35:35 <nattie> next meeting: same time, same channel, next week? 18:36:11 <highvoltage> thanks for keeping it short 18:36:18 <DLange> nattie: sounds good 18:36:27 <nattie> #agreed next meeting 20 July 18:00 UTC 18:36:34 <nattie> anything else? 18:36:54 <highvoltage> going once, going twice... 18:36:57 <nattie> #endmeeting
