stpeter(sorry, on the IETF Tools Team call so a bit distracted)
Ashley Roachno worries, i miraculously paid attention to my calendar, and so i was able to attend in time :)
stpeternot sure if our Chair is available
NeustradamusHi all, I have a new remark :D
It is possible to change:
"This is JUser -- a mailing list for end users
of Jabber clients."
=>
"This is JUser -- a mailing list for end users
of Jabber/XMPP clients."
stpeterNeustradamus: fixed
Neustradamusstpeter: thanks :)
KevI think Dave isn't going to be available, judging by his comments in other MUCs.
stpeterwell, I'm still on the phone, but here's where I think we are on FOSDEM/Summit
stpeterwe need to finalize the speaker list / schedule
stpeterI might have time to work on that later today or tonight, but probably tomorrow
stpeterwe need to submit it to the FOSDEM folks by the 21st
stpeterI now have credentials to use their tool to do this (previously only Ralph had credentials)
dwdBack, sorry. Was expecting to have been back a little earlier.
stpeterso that's the most pressing concern
stpeterFlorian is following up about real-time lounge furniture and such
dwdWe also have t-shirts to worry ourselves over.
stpeterwe need to organize the lounge a bit more seriously
dwdYes - we have a fair number of demos and people, but we're lacking in equipment, furnishings, etc.
Neustradamusstpeter: in the same time:

stpeterI still need to follow up on some of the equipment
stpeterNeustradamus: we're having a meeting right now, could you wait about posting further little nits?
Neustradamusstpeter: yes ok!
kevinhas joined
stpeterNeustradamus: but I fixed that bug :)
dwdI *think* our major problem is going to be furnishings rather than equipment. I've a feeling that we can find projectors and suchlike if not from Cisco, then from somewhere.
dwdAnd worst case we can do without anything beyond a few laptops, as long as the place looks the part.
Neustradamusstpeter: ok ah, I discover a lot of bugs :D
stpeterI did reserve rooms at the Cisco office but I need to follow up with people in Diegem to find out exactly what they've assigned to us, plus I need to order lunch
stpeterdwd: Florian was following up about furnishings but I've not heard more about that
dwdOn the t-shirts front, I think I can sort out t-shirts, the tricky bit is that our current pricing includes VAT - I believe we can avoid VAT (although as we're selling in the EU, it's not 100% clear), but it's not very clear how.
stpeterdwd: I think Will might have insights, since he ordered the shirts last time (or the time before, I can't recall)
dwdThe hooded T's which I thought would be awesome have been discontinued, they've offered us a good rate on actual hoodies, but it's tighter than I hoped - especially if we can't get out of VAT.
dwdstpeter, I think possibly both times.
dwdstpeter, And yes, I shall seek advice, I sometimes talk to Will anyway.
dwdstpeter, But I suspect that having the XSF issue a purchase order will, likely, come into it somewhere.
dwdstpeter, Oh, and I think we may actually have too many talks, now.
dwdPulling some onto Friday could be a reasonable option.
dwd(Depending on the audience).
dwdI can also shorten mine, if it's put after the Bowser ID chap.
Kevdwd: Was your intention with the Peter/Remko/Kev talk to be Q&Aish, or 101ish?
KevOr something else entirely?
dwdI was anticipating a kind of mud wrestling thing.
dwdNo, really, I was hoping for a 101ish thing.
dwdI was hoping to handle the Q&A "Ask The Experts" thing by having a question or two as speakers change over.
dwdBut my main concern with the talks currently is that we have a very tight schedule, now, and no slack whatsoever.
stpeter(sorry, got interrupted)
dwdGoing by previous years, we will simply never get to FZ/JS's talk, for instance.
stpeterdwd: yes, I think we might want to push some talks to Friday
stpeterdwd: e.g., mine :)
dwdI was going to suggest yours.
KevTalks to XMPP people, instead of talks selling XMPP, can probably be moved.
stpeterso I will look at that after the IESG telechat tomorrow, or tonight if I can finish my telechat prep today
stpeterKev: exactly
dwdMy "Welcome" chat is basically fluff to cover your setup, BTW - "Look, MSFT and Skype do XMPP now! Join the XSF! There's the RTL!".
stpeteryep
stpeterso I think we'll be fine
dwdSo I'll do that over the top of people walking in, and once the room's settled hand to you guys.
stpeterI notice that the FOSDEM folks say "you might want to schedule a break so people don't get too tired"
dwdYeah, we scheduled some web talks when everyone can leave. ;-)
KevAn hour off for lunch would make things much better.
dwdAlso provides a slack point to get back onto schedule.
stpeterdwd: yes
KevQuite.
dwdOh, reminds me - I had discussed with Florian about ensuring that a sandwich run happens for the guys at the stand. (ie, someone dashes down to the cafe and grabs enough sandwiches and drink for the helpers there).
stpeterdwd: yes, that's important
stpeterso when shall we schedule the break?
KevDo we have plans about manning the stand?
stpeterKev: in the works :)
KevJolly good.
stpeterI've been focusing on the devroom first
stpeterI think it would be best to have people sign up for shirts at the lounge
stpeterinstead of hoping that folks show up
stpeterer
dwdShifts.
stpetershifts
stpeteryeah
stpeterdoing too many things at once here :)
dwdI had to parse that twice before it made sense. :-)
stpetersorry :)
dwdSo - other than furniture - I think we're good.
stpeterat least on track
dwdRight.
stpeterI'll add an RTL sign-up area to the wiki page
dwdI was being slightly more up-beat than that.
dwdOh, Dinner sponsorship - I do know we're on track there as well.
KevYay :)
dwdLast I heard, we were breaking even. But then again, not all the Isode folk have signed up yet...
KevI have!
stpeterwhen do the stands open?
dwdiono.
stpeterok
stpeterwill find out
stpetermight also be 11, but could be earlier
dwdFor the RTL, we need both reasonable coverage of demos through the day, and also general staffing, and "XMPP Expert" staffing, too.
dwdThe latter two can mix.
stpeterhttp://fosdem.org/2012/schedule/days indicates the start time might be 09:00
stpeterdwd: good point
dwdOK. Anything else to go over?
stpeternot today, I think
dwdOK. I'll be about (in here) tomorrow to thrash out the talk schedule.
dwdThanks all, then.
Ashley Roachthanks!
stpeterdwd: thanks
stpeterdwd: I have the IESG telechat in the morning tomorrow but after that I'll be free
stpeterhttp://wiki.xmpp.org/web/FOSDEM_2012#Help_at_the_Real_Time_Lounge updated with volunteering opportunities :)
ralphmwaves
ralphmstpeter: did I mention I have credentials for filling in the schedule at the FOSDEM site?
stpeterralphm: no, but yaloki told me and I have credentials now, too
ralphmstpeter: heh
ralphmI haven't been keeping up with things
ralphmthe list of demos for the RTL seems a bit thin
stpeterralphm: I think we're doing well on the talks, just need a bit of culling and further organization
stpeterralphm: indeed
stpeterralphm: I'm about to post to summit@ about that
ralphmWhat about how the RTL is dressed up?
ralphmAny news on that?
stpeterFlorian was pursuing that, but I don't have news
ralphmI'd be more than happy to be your alternate on sunday, btw
