21:06:48 use #link for links 21:06:53 yes, moray, i've changed some things 21:06:58 didn't we decide that the name of the event is MiniDebConf 2014 Barcelona? 21:07:08 #link https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWomen/Projects/MiniDebconf-Women/2014/CallForProposals 21:07:14 yes, after someone wrote that text 21:07:15 yes, it should be changed 21:07:18 I think the title should have the exact name of the event 21:07:41 tassia: +1 21:07:59 every mention must be coherent, of course 21:08:26 but then The problem is the first sentence... 21:08:30 and also, I would change the place of the first sentence 21:08:55 I'd start with " The event..." 21:09:58 and by the end of the paragraph mention that we are restricting the proposals for women and explain briefly why 21:10:23 We can move the text to an etherpath to edit it together. 21:10:39 s/etherpath/etherpad/ 21:10:42 we can spend a couple of minutes and have the final text 21:11:04 we could also do it after the meeting 21:11:05 dunetna: you mean now? 21:11:14 yes... 21:11:23 after the meeting, please 21:11:24 ok, we can do it after, np 21:11:40 who's up for proof-reading then? 21:11:41 I'm editing the English a bit more 21:11:42 ok 21:11:53 raise your hands! 21:12:21 english is not my mother tongue :-/ 21:12:26 but i think we shold have a final text tonight, do you think is possible? 21:12:31 * papapep has to rush to bed after the meeting... 21:12:31 it should be 21:12:42 I can proof-read again if further big changes are made 21:12:51 thanks moray 21:13:23 are you planning to send it soon? 21:13:32 #action moray to proof-read the CFP text 21:13:33 we wanted to send it asap 21:13:38 I have one point 21:14:04 but we need the mail/list where the proposals will be sent 21:14:32 I think we should have a website before sending it 21:14:41 (but this is another topic that will be talked later) 21:14:48 #action replace MiniDebConfWomen for MiniDebConf in CFP text 21:14:50 the CFP is a good oportunity to spreed the word 21:15:33 tassia: it would be nice to have a website ready, but that can also be sent out a bit later, and remind people to think about organising travel 21:15:51 finding speaker won't be easy, I don't know if we should delay it more... 21:15:58 people will look for details of the event, and I'm not sure we are ready 21:16:01 ok 21:16:19 Maybe we can have a domain like http://bcn2014.mini.debconf.org redirected to the main wiki page, and later create a new nice site. 21:16:49 dunetna: well, I certainly don't think the speakers will be found just by sending out this kind of message 21:16:53 it is just that... if the website can be released soon, it would be worthy it to wait 21:16:58 only the mail address for proposals is actually needed but i agree that having a website would be helpful 21:17:13 dunetna: but I think it's achievable, if some people speak directly to the right possible speakers... 21:17:46 moray: marga offered herself to send a personal mail to DD (women) 21:17:59 sim6, I agree we should have the domain pointing to the wiki while the site is not ready 21:19:02 dunetna, we should all forward the messages to all potential speakers in our network 21:19:03 tassia: what do we have to do to get the domain/websiote/etc...? 21:19:11 DD and non-DDs 21:19:17 +1 21:19:18 marga was going to ask for the domain, wasn't she? 21:19:41 Yes, but I didn't do it :-/ 21:19:48 Sorry, I had too many TODOs. 21:19:49 yes, but we have no news about that, I think I asked in the list 21:19:58 hi marga! :) 21:20:03 I did start with the money and talks team part. 21:20:06 hi marga! 21:20:09 But I didn't do the domain :-/ 21:20:12 hi marga! 21:20:41 I can do that 21:20:48 maybe another person can do it, if you're too busy 21:21:04 tassia: thanks! 21:21:05 marga: is ok for you if tassia does it? 21:21:08 I guess this means asking ganneff to do it, then reminding him if it doesn't happen 21:21:14 who would be the person to ask? ganneff? 21:21:23 moray, thanks 21:21:24 in theory there are more admins who can do it, but I think ganneff is the only one active 21:21:25 Yes, exactly. I just messaged Ganneff, but he's away 21:21:45 #action tassia will ask ganneff for a domain redirection to the wiki 21:22:02 do we all agree with the domain name being bcn2014.debconf...? 21:22:05 and for a place to have a website? 21:22:24 I can move contents of wiki to the new website 21:22:38 tassia, I've sent him one message, as soon as I get a reply I tell you about it. If I don't say anything, it means he didn't reply. It's late in .de now, so he's probably away till tomorrow. 21:22:50 dunetna: we can discuss the website/wiki in next meeting 21:23:13 alexm: or better in the lst) 21:23:19 works for me 21:23:22 s/lst)/list 21:23:23 marga, that's ok, let's see if he answers you first 21:23:57 marga: did you ask for http://bcn2014.mini.debconf.org ? 21:24:11 I didn't ask for any specific domain yet. 21:24:24 ok, then an we agree on that? 21:24:38 anyone against it? 21:24:45 I agree 21:24:54 It is fine for me, too. 21:25:05 #agreed the domain for the mini debconf will be http://bcn2014.mini.debconf.org 21:25:14 ok, next 21:25:31 mail address for submission 21:25:35 talks@bcn2014.... 21:25:39 debconf.org provides the hosting or only the domain? 21:25:44 should be talk about the template first? 21:25:47 sim6: can do both 21:25:56 moray: thanks 21:26:21 next point? 21:26:26 the template? 21:26:26 template 21:26:27 alexm, sorry the template 21:26:32 what is that? 21:27:03 #link https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWomen/Projects/MiniDebconf-Women/2014/CallForPapersTemplate 21:27:08 tassia: the address should be proposals@bcn2014 i guess 21:27:17 we have to change the link XDD 21:27:36 alexm: it may take a longer time to get a special address like that 21:27:50 (I don't know without someone discussing it with ganneff) 21:27:51 Maybe it needs another page rename. 21:28:00 tassia: this template is linked from the CFP mail, tlakers should fill and send it to proposals@bcn2014... 21:28:20 dunetna, thanks, I've just found it 21:28:28 :) 21:28:33 to be honest, I expect few enough submissions I wouldn't worry too much about keeping people on the template 21:28:51 (even for full debconfs the number of submissions is not really that high) 21:28:56 #link https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWomen/Projects/MiniDebconf-Women/2014/CallForProposalsTemplate 21:29:13 the more important aspect is whether someone keeps all the information that comes in from emails 21:29:16 * alexm feels like renaming links on the run is bad 21:29:19 uuuh, quin catal�es tancat avu� 21:29:26 moray, do you mean that a template is too much and we can do something "easier"? 21:30:02 dunetna: well, I'm not strongly against having a template, but I suspect even with a template most people might just email informally saying "hm, I suppose I could do but I am not sure" 21:30:33 dunetna: and/or have their talk proposals emerge from being emailed directly by someone 21:30:37 I see, so the really important thing is to have this contact mail 21:31:00 I would think so 21:31:15 moray, +1 21:31:23 moray, +1 21:31:32 the template has information that is important, like the recording preferences 21:31:36 for the template draft itself, I would also mention that "Would you like to be recorded" is likely to result in most people saying no, they don't, but that recordings *are* very useful for people not present physically 21:31:56 the recording preferences can also be asked later 21:32:19 if you want, we can remove the template from CFP, but keep this questions in mind 21:32:28 and have them answered during the process 21:32:46 instead of having the template, I would add the important info about the proposal that we need to evaluate it 21:32:47 dunetna: certainly the most important aspect is to track these questions during the process 21:33:08 (formally or informally, it can be decided inside talks team) 21:33:13 the video-team can take care of asking about the recording preferences (later) 21:33:49 is there anyone that wants to keep the template in CFP? 21:34:18 well then 21:34:38 #action keep the information of the CFP template for internal use only 21:34:45 we can keep this template page to keep in mind what informaion we need for each proposal 21:34:58 ok 21:35:01 next? 21:35:02 #undo 21:35:02 Removing item from minutes: 21:35:09 #agreed keep the information of the CFP template for internal use only 21:35:10 Maybe we can use this template to publish the talks. 21:35:17 anyways, we should briefily list the info needed inside the CPF message 21:35:45 next point 21:36:13 we have already discussed the mail address, so we can skip it now 21:36:37 next topic 21:36:42 #topic Network: News about the contact with sysadmins 21:36:58 did we agree on changing the CPF to include the needed info? can I do it? 21:37:13 tassia: for me, it's ok 21:37:18 +1 21:37:23 #undo 21:37:23 Removing item from minutes: 21:37:29 tassia: yes, please do it 21:38:08 ok 21:38:14 #agreed tassia to add to CFP the info from template needed 21:38:35 #undo 21:38:35 Removing item from minutes: 21:38:44 #agreed to add to CFP the info from template needed 21:38:57 #action tassia will add the missing info in CFP 21:38:59 next 21:39:09 #topic Network: News about the contact with sysadmins 21:40:00 I think the short answer is: no news. 21:40:05 our contact at the venue is looking for the right people from IT 21:40:30 she'll send me the contact details and i'll arrange a meeting with them 21:40:51 ok, thanks, alexm 21:40:52 #action alexm to meet IT staff at UB regarding network 21:40:58 perfect, keep us informed, if it can be public, of course 21:41:10 any questions on this topic? 21:41:28 do you want anyone with you in this meeting? 21:41:29 next topic, then 21:41:58 #topic Artwork team 21:42:02 I can go with you if you want. 21:42:16 thanks, sim6 21:42:25 We need a artwork team!! 21:42:34 any news about the artwork team? 21:42:51 no news... (and it doesn't mean good news :( ) 21:42:59 #link https://wiki.debian.org/DebianWomen/Projects/MiniDebconf-Women/2014/Tasks#Design_Team 21:43:00 Please talk with your artistic friends... 21:43:20 hi alba! 21:43:33 hola! sento l'enorme retràs :-( 21:43:56 next topic 21:43:57 sim6: like with other aspects, perhaps we can find some releavnt women to do it. in the worst case, though, debconf has various long-term male designers who can produce something 21:44:02 Siri Reiter seemed to be interested but... 21:44:39 did Siri Reiter replied the invitation? 21:44:56 is anyone in direct contact with her? 21:44:59 http://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2013/12/msg00001.html 21:45:07 (I mean, not in the mailing list) 21:45:14 #link http://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2013/12/msg00001.html 21:45:27 i don't think so 21:46:47 I can write her in pvt 21:46:56 thanks tassia 21:46:57 thanks, tassia 21:46:58 thanks, tassia 21:47:05 :) 21:47:09 :) 21:47:10 there was another woman... pixiegirl? 21:47:37 "Agnieszka \"pixelgirl\" Czajkowska" ? 21:47:48 (pixie was someone else) 21:47:53 pixel not pixie :) 21:48:10 #action tassia to ask Siri Reiter about the artwork 21:48:11 yes, I suppose she is 21:48:54 I can write to both of them 21:49:03 thanks again tassia 21:49:04 does the event really need a logo beyond the Debian/Debian Women one? 21:49:05 thanks again, tassia 21:49:14 or is the design just about designing the specific objects? 21:49:23 #undo 21:49:24 Removing item from minutes: 21:49:35 #action tassia to ask Siri Reiter and pixelgirl about the artwork 21:49:57 a logo it's nod strictly needed, but it would be nice 21:49:57 for main DebConfs we normally start from a logo, but I wonder here if it's better to use the d-w logo to promote that 21:50:00 moray, it would be nice if we had, but I don't think it is extremely necessary 21:50:11 moray, good point 21:50:12 moray, I don't tink in a new logo, I think in web style.. 21:50:27 (and since d-w is already debian logo plus something, adding another element for Barcelona might get confusing) 21:50:30 i think logo should contain or be inspired in d-w logo 21:50:45 warning! we're running out of time 21:50:57 if people *do* want a new logo, the group should propose to the designer what the new element should be 21:50:58 can we discuss this on the list? 21:51:15 alexm: yes, I think so 21:51:16 as normally people from a city have different ideas of what they like as representative compared to outsiders :) 21:51:25 onn the other hand, since we are not calling if a mini-debconf-women, it does make sense to have a separate logo 21:51:43 tassia: +1 21:51:56 more like bcn related 21:52:09 let's discuss this on the mailing list 21:52:14 ok 21:52:21 so, yes please, let's move the discussion to the list 21:52:36 next topic 21:52:43 #topic Video team 21:52:52 hey, that's me! 21:53:00 :) 21:53:01 Tincho had some good news about the videoteam 21:53:16 tassia, elaborate please 21:53:27 I've been talking to holger and tincho about video coverage 21:53:46 I think, we need point artwork to website and... not only the logo. 21:53:47 we've decided I'll the person in charge 21:54:28 in case I end up not going to bcn, holger would be the backup 21:54:31 tassia: so you'll be here in bcn! 21:54:42 dunetna, I'll do my best 21:54:45 ;-) 21:55:00 great! 21:55:10 I can only be sure in january, after the university calendar is published 21:55:15 #action tassia to lead the videoteam 21:55:46 \o/ 21:55:52 tassia: we need to know video team requirements 21:56:04 could you write them to the list? 21:56:12 yes please 21:56:21 ok 21:56:25 if we do only one room, holger can bring the gear in his car 21:56:30 it would be nice to have them before alexm (and sim6) meeting with university IT admins 21:56:35 of add a new team on the tasks wiki and put them there 21:56:44 for more than one room, we would need to ship it from paris 21:56:45 s/of/or/ 21:57:04 honestly, i don't think we'll fill two rooms... 21:57:17 we'll see 21:57:26 there's time to decide later on 21:57:29 can we move to the last topic? 21:57:39 than we can just decide that we'll do just one room, it will be way simplier for us 21:58:31 we can decide as we receive the proposals 21:58:59 yes, we should wait a little bit more before decide 1" rooms 21:59:00 if there are lots of them, we'll need to make a decision about the video 21:59:18 At the moment we only have 2 rooms, one for talks and another for the hacklab. 21:59:30 just keep in mind the cost of shipping equipments if we decide for more than one 21:59:37 ok 21:59:48 tassia: thanks for pointing that out 21:59:59 anything else? 22:00:10 Our contact in UB (the venue) is asking for the second talk room. 22:00:25 for video, that's it 22:00:29 #topic Move IRC coordination to new #debian-bcn2014 channel 22:00:48 yes, we're invading this channel 22:01:03 anyone against moving to the new channel?
