I wanted to add this to the agenta but life happened :) 15:33:19 robjo: if it was productive and as I see it is. no worries about to extend a little bit the over the time ;-) 15:33:55 we can certainly talk about oSC14 15:33:59 warlordfff: go 15:34:20 other than Croatia , did the French contacted? 15:34:49 The team in France have not sent a message to -project or the board 15:34:54 or do we have any other proposals? 15:35:08 although they have been encouraged to do so a number of times 15:35:15 ok 15:35:36 thus the semi-proposal received this week on -project is the only "official" proposal we have at this point 15:36:17 now from what I learned so far is that is important people from potential organizing countries should attend to the conference this year so that they know how we do things (we = openSUSE) 15:36:45 Our (board) goal still is to have one of the oSC14 organizing members attend oSc13 and make an announcement at oSC13 where oSC14 will be held 15:37:04 also if by oSC13 we have proposals I tthink it would be Great to have presentation of those proposals 15:37:26 agreed 15:37:58 there should be plenty of time in the schedule to slide in a "last minute" addition 15:38:05 so if there are any more contacts please let them know that 15:38:57 warlordfff: yes, the board is interested to have as much knowledge transferred from your experience this year to next years committee 15:39:26 and it would be great if the other people meet them in person 15:39:44 people who will actually work with those people 15:39:48 warlordfff: and differentreality will be called upon ;) to do a postmortem 15:40:03 lol 15:40:28 yes, we expect to share the experience 15:41:01 my suggestion is to the next org ppl, keep a closer look at trello too 15:41:20 +1 15:41:30 yeap that is REALLY important too 15:41:42 we should also have a "Organizing oSC13" presentation at this years conference ;) 15:41:57 we will 15:42:16 well, we do not yet know who will organize oSC14, thus there is no one to ask to watch trello ;) 15:42:18 I am still writing the draft and struggling with a title :D 15:43:17 OK, does that cover the oSC14 topic? 15:43:25 I think so 15:43:35 what else? 15:44:01 robjo: yes we have someone to invite to trello, that guy that has sent the proposal to the ml 15:44:21 ? 15:44:26 osc14 proposal ? 15:44:29 yes 15:44:50 you are saying we should invite him to trello ? 15:44:59 differentreality: there was an "we may be interested" mail to -project regarding the location for oSC14 15:45:09 yes I have read the email 15:45:11 I think will be good for him 15:45:15 I just didnt understand fully carlos point 15:45:28 inviting him to trello may be a bit pre-mature 15:45:53 +0.8 15:45:53 well I am happy to reply to inform him that he can check out our organization in trello and that they can join us volunteers 15:45:54 to learn how things go is never pre-mature imho 15:46:32 +1 15:46:46 let us not run into things I think is what robjo is trying to say 15:47:09 yup 15:47:36 well, I would say "rush" rather than "run" but.... ;) 15:47:41 afterall that kind of things is what shows if they are serious about this 15:48:04 Anyway, other topics? 15:48:12 actually robert has replied to that email alraedy I think he covered the issue 15:49:00 thanks, last call, anything else? 15:49:09 no 15:49:26 warlordfff: where, invite me pls 15:49:41 #endmeeting
