Summits, Conferences and Meetups workgroup - 2019-08-30
GuusIs there a reason to not ask Cisco for hosting the Summit again?
Guusif not, I'll get on that right now
SouLI think the space gets tiny with previous attendance, somebody said we could make it bigger somehow? Moving some wall, I think
GuusDepending on attendance, yes
Guusbut for started, let's see if they want to host us again
ralphmIt can be bigger indeed
Guus(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)
ralphmThe back wall hides another area
SouLGreat
SouLGuus, not complaining at all :)
ralphmAnyway, +1 on Cisco
SouLJust talking out loud
SouLyeah, agree
ralphmAlso liked the hoodie room
Guuswho wants to be in the CC of my email correspondence with Cisco?
ralphmGuus: me
ralphmYou just beat me to it
GuusMUWHAHAAHA!
Guusor something
danielIf we make the room even bigger we will have a problem hearing each other I'm afraid
daniel I mean if we have to make it bigger because more people are coming that's a good thing.
Guuslet's worry about that once we get a feeling of the number of people that'll show up this year
danielBut maybe we should reconsider the microphone idea
SouLmore than one maybe, spreaded through the room
danielwe 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
danieli'll probably start looking into "my first summit/how to summit" and the advertisement a bit myself
danielas those go hand in hand; i mean publishing a 'how to summit' can act as advertisement
GuusWinfried wrote such an article
danieloh. link?
Guushttps://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/572
GuusI need to spend my attention to other things right now, sorry
GuusI'll try to circle back later today
danieli 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
ralphmWith 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.
GuusI got an OOO from our contact at Cisco
ralphmPlenty of time
GuusYes, realizing that brought me back from my panic. 🙂
GuusSoooooooo.... you're contemplating how many dame blanches you'll have? 🙂
SouLAlready? :D
ralphmAt least one.
GuusSouL if you ever need leverage with ralphm, then "Dame Blanche" is the magic word 🙂
