Agenda/Minutes

  • Registration/Budget - status as early registration end approaches

    • 131 delegates

  • Keynotes - any updates

    • Time zone differences make it difficult to schedule Guido’s keynote at the usual time, but this has been resolved.

  • Talks - status report on submissions received and acceptance

    • Times of breaks for the hotel to work with - Preliminary lunch break times were decided pending a real schedule, to be worked on by Laura and Samuele.

    • Talk acceptance will be done as part of the schedule creation process.

    • There are 55 submitted talks, including tutorials and a panel discussion.

    • John will obtain a schedule which we can publish.

  • Infrastructure

    • Jacob would like a central place for shared documents. Paul, John and Jacob discussed facilities and hosting, and will continue on the mailing list.

  • Sponsorship

    • Brief discussion of the status of sponsors, incoming materials, and so on.

    • Organising sponsors - what do we award companies that are active in organising EuroPython?

    • Further discussion of the sponsorship of attendees (plus any information that should be published).

    • Jacob will send Paul some banner images.

  • T-shirts (as noted on this page)

    • Paul will contact Zack for a T-shirt image and pass it on to Aiste.

  • Streaming and dedicated lines - We have to see what the traffic shaping is like. We need volunteers, too, so maybe it’s time to use the europython-volunteer-announce list. The proposed licensing was controversial for some.

    • Christian is waiting for his Lithuanian contact to get in touch. :-)

  • food - any updates

    • Will be discussed in the next meeting. I guess this will mostly be about costs.
