Hi all I'm supposed to be on holiday and offline, but I've started having dreams about this thread, so...
I've adapted the thread onto our Timeline [1], and copied relevant bits below. I resisted the temptation to put this onto the wider timeline [2] as well, so we can test it first. Comments welcome, but this can only be finalised after DC16 team discussion and some registration system considerations (Next IRC meeting is on 9 September, but these dates are going to be a bit of a moving target). Overall, I am very happy with where the conversation is at. B [1] - https://debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16/Timeline [2] - https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Timeline January (-6 months): EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION: Expression of intent opens 18 January 2016 (I just put in a date to get a deadline going, this can be altered by discussion) Fields filled in (tick boxes): * I am interested in attending DebCamp16 * I am interested in attending DebCamp16 * I would possibly require sponsorship for food * I would possibly require accommodation sponsorship * I would possibly require travel sponsorship * I am submitting a talk proposal (with an attachment field?) * I am considering bringing a family/more than just myself attending * Email required/have an (Alioth?) account: Join mailing list to get notified when registration opens. (I don't know what the best way to do this is, considering that the registration system may not be 100% functional at this stage yet, and might not really be needed at this stage) * EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION: Send reminder on 29 January 2016: Sponsorship requests, Talk submissions close Monday 29 February 2016 * EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION: Send reminder on 17 February 2016: Sponsorship requests, Talk submissions close Monday 29 February 2016 * EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION: Sponsorship requests, Talk submissions close Monday 29 February 2016 EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION: Registration opens Saturday 2 April 2016 Fields required: * Dates of attendance (rather than a range, tick off every day from e.g. 28 June to 9 July?) * Food required (sponsored or paid for) * Accommodation required (Sponsored or paid for) * T-shirt size * Allergies/accessibility concerns we should plan for...?? etc INTERNAL BIG DEADLINE: Bursaries, Content team make decisions by 17 April 2016 (May need date adjustment for easter...) EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION: Announce bursaries on Monday 24 April 2016, EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION: Announce bare-bones schedule on Monday 24 April 2016, - times of talks at least, perhaps some highlighted speakers if possible. EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION: Official registration closes 9 May 2016. After this date, there are no guaranteed swag bags, T-shirts or printed name badges. Attendees can no longer be sponsored, except in extreme cases. (Wording...) [todo] Find out: Last date to register for accommodation at the venue...
