Summits, Conferences and Meetups workgroup - 2019-08-30

Is there a reason to not ask Cisco for hosting the Summit again?

if not, I'll get on that right now

I think the space gets tiny with previous attendance, somebody said we could make it bigger somehow? Moving some wall, I think

Depending on attendance, yes

but for started, let's see if they want to host us again

It can be bigger indeed

(unless we want to go somewhere else this year - don't know why, but I thought I'd check before getting in touch wiht them)

The back wall hides another area

Great

Guus, not complaining at all :)

Anyway, +1 on Cisco

Just talking out loud

yeah, agree

Also liked the hoodie room

who wants to be in the CC of my email correspondence with Cisco?

Guus: me

You just beat me to it

MUWHAHAAHA!

or something

If we make the room even bigger we will have a problem hearing each other I'm afraid

I mean if we have to make it bigger because more people are coming that's a good thing.

let's worry about that once we get a feeling of the number of people that'll show up this year

But maybe we should reconsider the microphone idea

more than one maybe, spreaded through the room

we should probbaly go over the 'summit retro' minutes from last year and see what of the improvement ideas we can do / need to do well ahead

i'll probably start looking into "my first summit/how to summit" and the advertisement a bit myself

as those go hand in hand; i mean publishing a 'how to summit' can act as advertisement

Winfried wrote such an article

oh. link?

I need to spend my attention to other things right now, sorry

I'll try to circle back later today

i kinda would also like to address the 'diversity' issue; but i don’t know how. aside from explicitly inviting the two only woman i know from the xmpp community

With regards to the microphone, I think that was primarily an issue with the installed system. In other years this was better, and I'll ask Rudy about it when we are closer to the actual date.

I got an OOO from our contact at Cisco

Plenty of time

Yes, realizing that brought me back from my panic. 🙂

Soooooooo.... you're contemplating how many dame blanches you'll have? 🙂

Already? :D

At least one.

SouL if you ever need leverage with ralphm, then "Dame Blanche" is the magic word 🙂

Or, as we prefer to call it: "Yeah!"
