Banners for the walls? 17:19:22 <ddemaio> I released an article yesterday about the hotels. 17:19:53 <ChrisBr> definitely banners for the walls! Some professors from the university asked about it 17:19:57 <ChrisBr> and also for the office etc 17:20:01 <ddemaio> I highlighted the fact that there is a race during that weekend 17:21:02 <ddemaio> I think we are going to need to make those ourselves. The design team doesn't appear to have the time right now to produce anything. 17:21:24 <ChrisBr> hm ok 17:21:38 <ddemaio> We could wait, but the more time we wait for the design team, the more opportunity passes by 17:22:01 <ddemaio> ChrisBr: do you know manuelle 17:22:02 <ChrisBr> hm, who else could we approach to make a banner? I've really bad design skills :( 17:22:05 <ChrisBr> yeah 17:22:32 <ddemaio> Maybe we can ask him if he can have something in two weeks time 17:23:00 <ddemaio> Mine are not the best, but I can do one 17:24:19 <ChrisBr> ok, thought you already asked manuelle? 17:24:52 <ddemaio> I'll ask him tomorrow. Maybe you can ask him next week. If by March 21, we don't have anything we will have to do it 17:25:00 <ddemaio> I asked Ken. 17:26:06 <ddemaio> Ken said it's good, but he said by May, which is too long 17:27:04 <ChrisBr> ok 17:27:14 <ChrisBr> yeah, May is definitely too late 17:28:33 <ddemaio> #Topic Trello Cards 17:28:33 <ddemaio> #info Trello Cards are updated https://trello.com/b/xhSviOKO 17:28:33 <ddemaio> #topic Outreach/Education 17:28:33 <ddemaio> Any updates? 17:29:28 <ChrisBr> finally had some contact with university of nuremberg 17:29:45 <ChrisBr> they forwarded my mails to the students and professors 17:29:59 <ddemaio> cool. anything we could do to make it more appealing to them 17:30:21 <ChrisBr> and they will also put some posters on the walls if we send them some 17:30:41 <ChrisBr> nothing I'm aware of 17:31:02 <ChrisBr> so I wouldn't expect that some professors will send a talk proposal 17:31:02 <ddemaio> ok. 17:31:12 <ChrisBr> but maybe some students and hopefully also students will attend 17:31:14 <ddemaio> #info send posters to schools 17:31:46 <ddemaio> Should we market it with GSoC 17:31:57 <ddemaio> That could create some student interest 17:31:58 <ChrisBr> and we should make more noise shortly before the conference 17:32:07 <ChrisBr> what do you mean exactly? 17:32:23 <ChrisBr> yeah, I already mentioned in my mails both, the OSC and GSoC 17:32:39 <ddemaio> Well, we could make some posters specificlly for students. I'm sure we will have a GSoC talk 17:34:09 <ddemaio> #idea make posters specific for university, mention GSoC 17:34:21 <ChrisBr> yes, sure! However, the GSoC application period will start next week so it's probably too late for this year GSoC 17:34:44 <ChrisBr> but surely for the future and introduce GSoC to the students 17:34:50 <ddemaio> Not a problem. The undergrads will gain awareness for next year 17:34:57 <ChrisBr> actually I'm planning a GSoC talk 17:35:03 <ddemaio> cool 17:35:48 <ddemaio> We can highlight your talk to entice some students to attend 17:36:09 <ddemaio> #topic Equipment update 17:36:09 <ddemaio> #info Waiting on a list of needed items. A walk through is scheduled for April 15 at 1400. 17:36:09 <ddemaio> We have a volunteer to help the tech team set up the WLan/WiFi 17:37:21 <ddemaio> I don't think there is much more we can mention about equipment 17:37:39 <ddemaio> I guess a live stream of the conference would be kind of cool though 17:38:12 <ddemaio> Although that could screw us with bandwidth 17:38:37 <ddemaio> #idea ask tech team is streaming is a viable option for the conference 17:39:03 <ddemaio> #topic Swag 17:39:03 <ddemaio> #info waiting on response from ownCloud on where they ordered the pins 17:39:03 <ddemaio> #info waiting on offer for stickers 17:39:03 <ddemaio> Do we want a bag? What kind and what color 17:40:02 <ChrisBr> yeah, I think they're cool :9 17:40:22 <ChrisBr> and you could use it as a welcome package 17:40:29 <ChrisBr> with a printed schedule, sticker 17:42:35 <ddemaio> what do you mean by printed schedule. Like when can we get them by 17:42:48 <ddemaio> oh. got it 17:42:56 <ddemaio> print a schedule 17:43:34 <ddemaio> #info once program committee makes schedule, make prints for the bag 17:44:31 <ChrisBr> yep, that you don't have to look in your smartphone all the time 17:44:46 <ChrisBr> also we need it printed as banner in front of each room 17:45:02 <ChrisBr> but this is stuff we have to take care a few days before the conference starts 17:45:21 <ChrisBr> maybe we can print it in office / some copy shop 17:45:42 <ddemaio> http://www.flyeralarm.com/uk/shop/configurator/index/id/5898/cotton-bags.html# 17:46:24 <ddemaio> do we want to label the rooms based on something openSUSE 17:46:45 <ddemaio> Like the Tumbleweed Room, Leap Room, etc 17:47:36 <ChrisBr> I think this kind of bags more appealing http://flockhaus-shop.de/out/pictures/master/product/1/turnbeutel_black_my_bag_and_me.jpg 17:47:51 <ChrisBr> I like the idea, how many rooms do we have? 17:48:15 <ddemaio> ok. so a bigger bag 17:48:23 <ddemaio> 4 17:48:42 <ddemaio> The thing with the shopping bag though is that more people see it 17:49:18 <ddemaio> I always shop with the Linux bag I got and it something I see people look at 17:50:11 <ddemaio> ChrisBr: thoughts 17:50:53 <ChrisBr> yeah, true! But for instance I use this kind of bag when I go to the beach, swimming, sport 17:51:00 <ChrisBr> anyway :) 17:53:20 <ddemaio> ok. I'll have to look around and see what the prices are. 17:53:36 <ChrisBr> yeah, right! Take the cheaper and easier to get one 17:54:07 <ddemaio> The might allow us to purchase some extra special swag. 17:54:14 <ChrisBr> cool 17:54:51 <ddemaio> I think I'll close the meeting. I list the items for next week 17:55:04 <ChrisBr> yeah, maybe we can get some more produced for the things we plan for GSoC / RGSoC 17:55:09 <ChrisBr> ddemaio: thanks 17:55:17 <ddemaio> #topic Topics for next meeting 17:55:17 <ddemaio> #info Social events Planning 17:55:17 <ddemaio> #info Entertainment Planning 17:55:17 <ddemaio> #info Marketing Status 17:55:17 <ddemaio> #info Keynote Status 17:55:18 <ddemaio> #info Trello Cards 17:55:20 <ddemaio> #info Outreach/Education Status 17:55:22 <ddemaio> #info volunteer tasks 17:55:24 <ddemaio> #info Equipment update 17:55:28 <ddemaio> #info Swag update 17:55:30 <ddemaio> Any more we want to add? 17:55:32 <ddemaio> Thank you christ 17:55:48 <ddemaio> We will get some extra for GSoC and RGSoC 17:56:01 <cboltz> a quick question - when will the first talk on the first day start? 17:56:12 <cboltz> (might be relevant for travel planning) 17:56:59 <ddemaio> #info Make posters for rooms.
