Summits, Conferences and Meetups workgroup - 2018-01-26

nyco, have you been able to confirm a date for the XSF dinner? I'm extending an invitation to the Google Open Source Office - I'd like to have the date right :)

nyco, You either book dinner, or you are dinner. ;-)

Actually I didn't really mean the ";-)".

(he's not joking - he privately asked me for recipies where the main ingredient is a French person.)

Everyone keeps telling me that French cookery is really good, so...

Also I hope I'm not the only one to dress up a bit this year.

...

you can hope, I guess ;)

Nyco?

Two GSoC students already accepted the dinner invitation.

that was not notified...

?

those mentions

anyway, what's left to be prepared for Summit?

Dinner...?

sorry, i was in a video call.

I'm not sure what you mean by "that was not notified. Those mentions"

I think we've got most of the Summit sorted out. Kev agreed to be our master of ceremony (or 'herder of cats'). We'll have to submit a list of attendees to Cisco, to get badges created, which I'll do next week. We'll probably should send a invitation email with a start date and the address of Cisco, to make things formal

We have a sponsor for one day of the lunch - we'll either find one more, or I'll ask for reimbursement from the XSF Treasurer after paying for it myself.

If you have Dinner (and transportation to/from dinner) arranged, I think we've covered most things.

I've send out invitations to the Google Open Source Program office, as well as to last years XSF GSoC students, to join us for dinner. As I said, two of the students already responded, no word from Google yet.
