Summits, Conferences and Meetups workgroup - 2020-01-22

I'm preparing for the Dinner signup form. Could you please review https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DVrLKuh0dp5imuSsPlRwIcq08SWhIdBO2tzAxauqLuw/edit?usp=sharing ?

(if you need access, I can give that to you)

(it says "2016"?)

I noticed that too. I think that was the original form that this was copied from. I can't seem to find it. I just added your gmail address as a collaborator, MattJ

(I found it as soon as I typed "I can't find it". Fixed now)

Guus, what kind of review are you looking for? i don’t speak french so i wouldn’t be able to review that

but feel free to add me as well if you think i can be of help

daniel: just a once over would do. I translated the Dutch into English myself, for example

that == that the translation is correct

I didn't bother with French translations this time

Yeah, pretty much. And any other glaring omissions that you can spot.

oh; i always thought that french was the original as provided by the restaurant

it's dutchly-french 🙂

There's some overlap, but not for all. I removed what we had, as I don't have the time to look up the rest

(kind of spread myself thin, before fosdem)

happy for others to augment the form, but English should be a good enough bare minimum, I figured.

LGTM

I changed January "30st" to "30th"

Assuming 30 was the correct date

yes 30th is correct

Ah, thanks. Last year, it was 31, which is why it had 'st' instead of 'th' I think

it's on thursday, which should be 30 January.

Should we add a reply-before-date ?

the restaurant needs the final tally a couple of days in advance

I think that providing it to them by Monday evening / Tuesday morning would suffice.

I need to be off for about 2 hours

It appears that they changed the stand locations, and we're back in the corner, with Matrix, Mattermost, wolfSSL, and Linphone.

Guus: Ralph's Delight, really?

Good to see the steak is back

Yay

intosi@ik.nu, to all of the above?

The steak, mainly.

Ralph's Delight must be a scheme to lower the number of people ordering it. It sounds niche.

This is the second time a dish has been named after me.

But I mostly referring to the message about the stand location, which I why I nudged you to join.

Back in the corner is a yay

Although not hauling with all the stuff this year was appealing.

(on a call, so can't really reply wihtout raising some eyebrows)

To be honest - I don't think that there's much of a point to haul all stuff, even if we're back in that corner, if it's as crowded as the last few years.

with so many stands, the lounge setup doesn't work.

That's a reasonable point

On the other hand, 4 out of 5 of those stands are related

The last few years, it was a mess. If we can find a way to pull it off, that'd be great - but as things were, I don't think it added value.

By the way, I know it is very close to the summit, but should we try to print swag. Like t-shirts?

Good idea. I could do with a new xmpp shirt.

I'd like that - but I really don't have the time to organize things.

if you could take point on that - by all means.

Suggestions for the print are welcome. I can do some research and order today.

It feels to me the lounge as is has run its course, at least with the limited space we have had the last few years.

intosi, we can choose to not call it lounge next year

but this year it still is, on the schedule, etc.

Okay.

I don't think anyone expects there to be an actual lounge. And if they do, they'll be more disappointed by what we can offer in that space. I'd prefer to not set up the beanbags, tables and carpets this year.

I'll order some more stickers. The XMPP logo and the "hello my JID is" designs is what I have, and can order.

oh, I actually still have plenty of those "hello my JID is" stickers.
