We cannot expect to have more than some rushed stickers or flyers 13:27:01 we could get that locally produced if necessary 13:27:09 but that's detail that can be discussed outside the meeting 13:27:33 * weepingclown peeks after coming late 13:28:12 Naturally, locally produced, or brought in the bag of an attendee that can spare the time (+ a small amount of money?) to print them 13:28:18 but it's in... One week? 13:28:45 FOSDEM is a week on Saturday (03/02-04/02) 13:28:51 so ~10 days 13:31:15 i'll put out some feelers about where they could be produced if needed 13:31:27 otherwise FOSSASIA is probably a better bet anyway 13:32:11 anything else we need to say about promotion at thuis point? 13:33:33 #topic DC25 13:34:10 Well, we need to get the ball rolling for next year :-) 13:34:21 #link https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/25/Bids/ 13:34:29 not sure how much we can discuss at this point? 13:34:39 there are 3 bids on the wiki 13:34:47 We had discussed in the Committee we'd do a second meeting for the known bids, but we should anyway call for other bidders 13:35:11 ... no real movement has happened since the meeting where we decided on Busan 13:35:19 So... Lets not sleep on our laurels :-) 13:35:49 I added the point, and I can be actioned to kick the committee into calling for bids and following through 13:36:19 #action gwolf + committee to call for DC25 bids and follow up 13:36:43 #topic Meeting schedule 13:36:51 next meeting with be 6th February, same time (13:00 UTC) 13:36:55 then 20th February 13:37:04 excellent! 13:37:07 we're not at the point yet where we move to weekly 13:37:09 #topic AOB 13:37:14 anything else that we need to discuss? 13:37:16 OK. I will most likely not be available for next meeting (will be on a vacation watching a big waterfall) 13:38:03 just to point out that, according to https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/24/Timeline, DC24 will be the longest DebConf ever 13:38:21 santiago: the longest DebConf *so far* 😉 13:38:34 I stand corrected 13:40:48 ok, thank you all for coming and see you in 2 weeks! 13:40:49 #endmeeting
