2. Status proposals (hcderaad, 13:03:08)
   1. We’ve had a meeting with the program committee about the talks that have been proposed so far. (hcderaad, 13:03:09)
   2. It looks like we’re going to have a very broad and interesting program! (hcderaad, 13:03:11)
   3. We’ve accepted most of the talks and commented on some (which we’ll now have to follow up with the speakers) (hcderaad, 13:03:12)
   4. We’re looking in to ways to start promoting these talks, but unfortunately we’re having some issues with OSEM (see next agenda point). (hcderaad, 13:03:14)
   5. AGREED: Program committee, on scheduling, spread the sponsor talks (hcderaad, 13:06:36)
   
   
3. Feature request OSEM (hcderaad, 13:13:48)
   1. We’d like to have the possibility of publishing a list of confirmed talks before they are scheduled. (hcderaad, 13:13:50)
   2. Currently, talks are only visible when they are scheduled, but since we are expecting quite a number of additional talks to come in in the coming weeks, we don’t want to start scheduling yet (hcderaad, 13:13:51)
   3. We’ve opened an issue at github: https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/issues/610 (hcderaad, 13:13:53)
   4. If any developer can pull this of in the next few days, we’re willing to sponsor him/her to come to the conference. (hcderaad, 13:13:54)
   5. So, if anyone knows a talented Ruby programmer with an affinity with openSUSE and preferably OSEM, please get in touch with us. (hcderaad, 13:13:56)
   
   
4. Status attendees and promotion (hcderaad, 13:19:27)
   1. We’ve reached 82 registed attendees! (hcderaad, 13:19:28)
   2. It’s not bad, but we feel that we really need more promotion, so please people, start using your personal contacts and social media channels to promote the conference! (hcderaad, 13:19:30)
   
   
5. Invites for visa (hcderaad, 13:24:12)
   1. We’ve received some requests for invitation letters for visa. (hcderaad, 13:24:14)
   2. As RobinEd and myself (hcderaad) have no experience with this, we’re looking into this and strive to get the invites out this week. (hcderaad, 13:24:15)
   3. Izabel Valverde and hcderaad will talk about this 4 march and get this up and running. (hcderaad, 13:24:17)
