Summits, Conferences and Meetups workgroup - 2019-09-12

The stickers I got, that go on *the budget* then?

yes

Ok, it'd be cool if we had something to visualize all that. I think

like a spreadsheet?

I've spent short of 400$, so we've got the rest to spend for CCC!

Or we can actually use that for the coming sprints

Food etc.

daniel, we can try and more or less organize things for at least the stockholm sprint and get this approved within the team?

not sure there is another one coming this year

oh forgot about stockholm :-)

Yeah I'm not entirely sure either after stockholm. I am interested though in gathering and working on specific things (that could also be called sprints, but maybe not with the numbers)

yes snacks and drinks (from the supermarket so not really expensive) is probably something to think about

I really think we should try to encourage small "working groups"

Not big-ish events like we're doing

3-4 people is already good and can be a lot more productive than 10

it's complicated(tm)

because if you let scam handle it and announce it then people actually want to come

which is a good thing obviously

but then you can’t limit it to 3 people

Yeah. Maybe we can organise more at the same time in different places to try and confuse the enemy ✏

i mean when i sat down with marvin in berlin that was super productive. so i get the 3-4 people thing

I'm fine splitting the small group of people that always goes to sprints for some time, if it allows us to do this more often

but that's outside of what scam can do i'm afraid

What I don't want is that all resolves around me organizing things :/

Because that's not going to go forever (as much as I like it)

And yeah otherwise spreadshit or equivalent for the budget would be good

yeah dunno. it'll work out. berlin is already done by another team

(yes it's on purpose)

maybe ralphm and Guus do the netherlands and some point

I might be planning to be in Japan early next year (and I just remembered about Summit/FOSDEM, gotta be careful), I wanted to try and do something there, but I know no one

I mean, devs in FOSS

I'll try to ask around

so should we officially ask scam for a budget of up to x (80 Euro?) to buy snacks and non alcoholic beverages for the 2.5 days of the stockholm sprint?

In Cambridge I had 400GBP, I think I spent not even half of that

buy you were also buying 'real food'

*but

Yeah

i wouldn’t go so far to do this for this sprint yet. start small (just snacks and drinks) and if that is a good experience for scam we do more for the next one

Sure. 80EUR of snacks surely is a lot of snacks

Fortunately we have a car!

it's sweden

Does that mean stuff is expensive? Or that there's no konbini at the corner?

Or that we'll be hungry? :P

but we are also 10 people. 8 euro per person for a weekend doesn’t sound too much

all of the above

ok

Yeah worksforme

i was mostly thinking of sweden being expensive

Nÿco, what do you have in mind for POSS?

I guess there will be people in Paris at that time

Might be good indeed to have a booth, and all the other things you mention on the card :)

booth, talks, meetup, sprint, whatever

Smile is organising

we need to hurry up

two years ago we had a booth but we shared it with Goffi and me (MongooseIM at that time)

that was not enough

not enough in what regard?

we might apply for a track, a half day of conferences

not enough impact

not enough material: flyers, stickers, etc.

i can’t find a call for paper on the POSS website. how does that work?

oh it's only linked from the banner

nvm

three years ago with Erlang Solutions, we came for MongooseIM, it was cool, had time and budget, with true flyers, stickers, rollerbanner, aaand apples

pep. If we run out of budget, we can just ask Board for moar

daniel : if you find an interesting track for you, then cool but we may create a special track decentralisation? instant messaging? real-time web? whatever, provided we fill it and it is valuable for the organisers

oh, one precision:

ralphm, we? Are you in SCAM because you're in board? :P

(note, I'm happy you're doing $things)

No because I do much on Summit / FOSDEM

the POSS booths are organised in two halves: the village, which is communities, so non-profit the business, you know what it means

the business booth is $$$ the village booth is free, gratis

I can suggest we go for a booth in the village, for free, as the XSF this booth can host non-profit projects also, we can suggest a track to the organisers

cfp doesn’t really look like my talk fits in. and they have no 'other' section

nevermind, we can make your conf fit, or fit a track for your conf

what is it?

(I know people...)

I would have offered to give my 'state of the xmpp community' talk

slightly modified to explain more what xmpp is before i dive in

cool

what other talks can we have to shape a full track?

I can do something around Team Chat

do those side tracks get an audience? is there any chance we can just get 1 or two talks into main?

that's gonna be difficult, given the current lack of traction of XMPP

small tracks are usually in room like classes, 20 to 40 people, rarely full, because the program is heavily loaded

last year I organised a track around open source startups, it went very well

ok, gotta go

who tweeted that https://twitter.com/xmpp/status/1172105727697129478 you need to . prefix the @

otherwise it is a mention and wont show up in other peoples streams

me

what is "you need to . prefix the @"?

it is not only a mention, it is a retweet with comment

Twitter treats that as a mention

btw that's Twitter, that should be a conversation to have on the commTeam room, not in this SCAM room... unless we consider the fusion is already effective :)

A reply I mean

a retweet it is

Yes. But as a reply to xabber

as a retweet

which has a good engagement rate so far

There's no merge

Please indeed do this in the other place

Not sure where comm is. But don't care. I was just trying to help

good, thx, just the tone

what do you think: should I untweet and re-retweet without the mention? or any other fix?

That was just meant as "for future reference" that's how Twitter works.

Probably not worth while fixing the old

Especially if it has likes and RTs

right, so...

thanks very much Daniel

Indeed thanks. Also, commteam@

Thanks. I was trying comm@

so, do we fusion or not? ;-)

Nÿco: no

argh
