[Debconf-team] Two points for this evening's meeting (was: Scheduling the job fair)

2015-03-02 Thread Santiago Ruano Rincón
Hello, all

I'd like to take advantage of this evening's meeting to bring this up:

First, an update on scheduling time slots. Take a loot at
debconf-data/dc15/schedule/debconf15-schedule.ods
We foresee to schedule about 22 long-events and 40 short-events, but
that will depend on the proposals and how we are able to distribute them
in tracks.

Second,

I think this is still unclear. We need to agree on the Job Fair
schedule. Are we going to fix on Saturday as it has been published? Or
do we want and are we able to set it during hack-time during the week?

Cheers,

Santiago

We've been unable to find anyone to act as sponsors liaison so far,
and have been occupied ourselves. Therefore, I think we'll have to
stick with the original plan for now and get feedback later. If the
job fair is a success and our sponsors would prefer it outside of
the weekend, then maybe in future years we'll have it during the
week…

None of these really fit with the page, which is about guiding people
who would like to help Debian by volunteering their time.

Re: [Debconf-team] DC15 Meeting tomorrow, 20:00 UTC

2015-03-02 Thread Margarita Manterola
Hi,

The meeting went a bit longer than our usual hour, several things got
a very heated discussion.  Here are the minutes:

http://meetbot.debian.net/debconf-team/2015/debconf-team.2015-03-02-19.59.html

Important to note is that we'll be having the DC15-specific meeting on
#debconf-team only once per month, as we want to free up some time for
the coord-team meeting, that needs to take into account more global
things that just DC15.

We will also complement this by having the local issues (DayTrip,
Conference Dinner, engagement with German media, etc) discussed in a
local team meeting, on #debconf15-germany.

The first of such meetings was held last week, minutes at:
http://meetbot.debian.net/debconf15-germany/2015/debconf15-germany.2015-02-23-19.59.html

[Debconf-team] DC15 Budget discussion - Review now - Meeting on Thursday, March 12th - 19:30 UTC

2015-03-02 Thread Margarita Manterola
The DC15 budget has been getting updates as we get more sponsors and
more confirmation of how much certain expenses will be. Now it's time
to try to finalize it and get it approved.

The budget spreadsheet is located at debconf-data/dc15/budget/budget.ods

And can be viewed directly at:
http://scratch.madduck.net/2015-03-02-dc15_budget_proposal.pdf

Everyone is invited to look at this budget and ask for specific
expenses to be included/called out, .

We'd like to finalize the budget and send it for approval to the
chairs and the DPL by the end of next week.  Please send your comments
to madduck before then, so that he can incorporate them in the
spreadsheet.

We'll have a specific meeting to discuss any open issues, on Thursday,
March 12th, 19:30 UTC, on #debconf-team. Please be sure to either be
there or send any comments you have before that.

To all team leads: please, ensure you have your team's needs addressed
in the budget, and to have somebody present in the meeting.

I'll make a proposal sending a bug/patch against www.debian.org pseudopackage.
