Hello everybody, I'd like to make quick summary of DC11 meeting we had with Government on November 22.
Topics we discussed with them were based on Nov12 Global and Local team meeting agenda:(http://meetbot.debian.net/debconf-team/2010/debconf-team.2010-11-12-18.05.html) *Making a final list of requests for Government and what is expected from them - Hotel - Venue - Day Trip - Security - Transport - Fun/Concert/etc - Final dates Things went smoothly to the point there wasn't even a lot to negotiate. They'll make sure we get all the points I made above. However, we had a problem from very start, and that problem is that we still don't have final dates. So please, let us make final dates already, this discussion has been going on long enough now. My proposition is to conclude this topic by the end of this week (Friday 26th): http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/thread/20101124.151804.1bb7e437.en.html As it looks right now, perfect dates are: DebCamp 17 - 23 July (17th is Sunday) DebConf 24 - 30 July (24th is Sunday) This way, after DebConf you could enjoy your vacation or whatever until "Desktop Summit" that starts on August 6th in Berlin. After all I too would like to go to this summit as well. Once we have the final dates, we can proceed to reserve hotel and venue. When talking about venue, there was also a proposition of changing our venue, this new venue would be University of Economy. However I do not want to discuss new venue until I have all possible information about it. My position on this is, not to change it, why? Well we spent so much time and effort on picking the right venue, and now after all this effort was done someone who may not even be acquainted with our Plan and Program/wiki proposes new venue. We got this bid, because we proposed it as we did, this would be changing crucial things IMHO, again I'd like to hear input from senior organizers on this topic. So by what I said here is, after we decide final dates this week, we would start working on resolving all these topics and making them final until our next meeting December 20th. * Next IRC meeting? Our original plan was to have this meeting week after the Government meeting, now I would like to have date decided (Doodle) for our next meeting since I'd like see people working on their assigned duties and resolve any potential problems they might encounter. By data I have today, my assumption would that this meeting would be held end of first week/start of second week in December. Comments, questions? Please do provide us with your input.
