Edwin told me that some members were willing to help 18:21:40 #ideas Maybe have some competition ( IIRC we've done this before ) 18:22:43 would you suggest perhaps a competition for the poster? 18:23:32 yep, or some overall logo competition for posters, t-shirts etc. 18:24:59 i.e. oSC19 logo, not openSUSE logo 18:26:09 We are trying to keep the oSC logo similar throughout to make it more recognizable 18:26:34 OK, lovely 18:26:39 #action put up competition for poster and t-shirt design. Make sure to include rules for the tshirts 18:27:44 should we move on to the next topic 18:28:17 asking me? 18:28:27 is it just the 2 of us? 18:28:30 anyone who responds 18:28:44 yep, go ahead 18:29:00 probably not 18:29:08 #topic Entertainment 18:29:08 #info I think we could do the pre-party again on the Thursday, May 23, at Kater Murr. We could also have a pre-party somewhere else. 18:29:52 * knurpht loves Kater Murr. Previous pre-parties were a huge success IME 18:31:20 * cboltz agrees - and wonders if a few people had a Kater afterwards ;-) 18:32:01 Sounds good. Usually we do something for the friday and make saturday on your own 18:32:30 We can make a bbq on the Friday night 18:33:09 #ideas : contact some pubs and make them meet-ups for every night 18:33:51 i.e. Kater Murr for pre-party, f.e. Irish pub for the next evening and so on 18:34:19 I could come up with a list of good bars to go to. 18:34:46 So individual visitors could meet at least a couple of others 18:34:46 #action make a list for meetups for the Friday and Saturday 18:35:01 OK 18:35:47 I think a bbq would be good on Friday and they give the meetup place after the bbq 18:36:08 then give 18:36:21 cool, love it 18:36:53 #topic Call for Hosts oSC 2020 18:36:53 #info No submissions as of yet. 18:36:53 #info A team in Albania has expressed interest. 18:36:53 #link https://news.opensuse.org/2018/09/25/opensuse-conference-2020-call-for-hosts/ 18:37:23 wait a minute - I have another thing for the "Entertainment" topic ;-) 18:37:29 I thought we already had one for the Canaries 18:37:44 will the SUSE band play? 18:38:00 cbolts wants to play 18:38:05 on stage 18:38:39 Nothing from the Canaries yet 18:38:53 I remember a mail saying that knurpht wants to play on stage 18:38:59 I think I saw a SUSE band card on Trello 18:39:12 so if the SUSE band can't play, we might have a board band ;-) 18:39:27 ha-ha 18:40:36 ddemaio: don't laugh, we have a keyboard player, a bass player, a guitarplaying idiot that sings .... 18:40:37 SUSE Band is a ? 18:40:41 https://trello.com/c/xbb26sEn 18:40:43 ddemaio: do you think we are joking? ;-) 18:40:56 really 18:41:11 harmonica 18:41:32 I have to ask. who plays the keyboard 18:41:50 "We are the Board, we are the children, we want the brightness on our laptops to be shining" 18:41:51 * cboltz waves 18:42:32 (actually both types of keyboard - the one that makes sounds, and the one with letters on it ;-) 18:42:39 the board should make a song for this https://www.suse.com/c/want-to-be-a-suse-star-enter-our-susecon-2019-song-parody-contest/ 18:43:08 LOL, you can see I started working already 18:43:13 I take it Simon is bass 18:43:25 Yup 18:43:39 And Rich on drums ( doesn't know yet ) 18:43:58 keep it a secret until the last minute 18:44:41 #topic Visas 18:44:41 #info I published an article about the process for a invitation letter for a visa for those who need it 18:44:41 #link https://news.opensuse.org/2018/11/20/find-out-the-visa-requirements-to-attend-osc19/ 18:44:56 #topic Travel Support Program 18:44:56 #info need to develop a timeline for the TSP. 18:44:56 #action Contact awafaa about TSP timeline 18:45:49 So the next bit is a bit long 18:46:17 #topic Swag 18:46:17 #info Rather than a backpack, an idea was presented to have programmable badge that uses openSUSE package. 18:46:17 Here are the options for backpacks: 18:46:17 #info Backpack 18:46:17 #info Backpack Sol´s = 12,50 € incl. tax (without embroidery) 18:46:18 #link https://shop.shirtbuddies.de/Sortiment/Rucksaecke/Laptop-Rucksaecke/Backpack-Wall-Street.html?shp=414 18:46:21 #linfo Campus Laptop Backpack Bag Base = 14,99 € incl. tax (without embroidery) 18:46:23 #link https://shop.shirtbuddies.de/Sortiment/Rucksaecke/Laptop-Rucksaecke/Campus-Laptop-Backpack.html?shp=414 18:46:26 #info Scuba Backpack Bag Base = 14,99 € incl. tax (without embroidery) 18:46:28 #link 18:46:30 https://shop.shirtbuddies.de/Sortiment/Rucksaecke/Freizeit-Rucksaecke/Scuba-Backpack.html?shp=414 18:46:32 Here are the badges: 18:46:34 #info Badges 18:46:36 #info badge the total price of parts is 6 EUR plus time compensation of 2k per month. It takes some time to produce the amount we would need 18:46:39 #link http://kastelo.org/specs.html 18:46:41 Thoughts? Does this seem like something we would want rather than the backpack? 18:48:27 as much as I love badges - a backpack is more useful, and people will use it longer than they play with a badge 18:48:42 true 18:49:33 cboltz: agreed 18:49:35 The variable cost of the 2k per month is kind of tough as well, because you can't exactly be sure of the cost 18:50:10 the 2K/month is an issue 18:50:22 so they would be hand-soldered? 18:50:45 That would need quite some time... 18:51:01 Yes, Michael who have been at a few oSCs makes them. 18:52:54 What worries me about the badges is what use people have after oSC19 18:53:04 https://avatars.schd.ws/A/4C/3158155/avatar.jpg 18:53:47 It's an nfc badge. I guess you can store data on it and share it. DevConf and a few others have done it 18:55:18 so what backpack did you like out of the three 18:55:20 :o 18:55:26 hey doug 18:55:48 hi 18:56:13 1st one for me 18:56:39 they are all too small for my 17 inch laptop ;-) 18:56:57 out of curiosity what is the desgin of the t-shirts for the opensuse mini summit at SCALE? 18:57:22 but seriously - it's hard to say from the pictures, so maybe order a sample of each one and decide when you hold them in your hands 18:57:53 Mir: osC19 meeting going on 18:57:59 Mir: we were thinking of doing a backpack for that 18:58:33 ddemaio: that would be a good opportunity to pick one. 18:59:33 cboltz: 17" laptops are sooooooooo outdated :D 18:59:44 unfortunately it's a bit different bc scale is stateside and customs would be a challenge from europe. it's better to order stateside for scale 18:59:59 OK 19:00:26 #info recommendation for package is https://shop.shirtbuddies.de/Sortiment/Rucksaecke/Laptop-Rucksaecke/Backpack-Wall-Street.html?shp=414 19:01:26 #topic Open Topics 19:01:27 We are about at the end. If you have any topics you want to discuss, now is the time. 19:01:51 #how many volunteers so far? 19:03:48 for oSC19 that is. It would be nice if the volunteers wouldn't be too occupied to also attend talks etc. 19:04:01 we haven't started that portion yet, but would could put out a call. 19:05:05 Another thing: insert a small session "Meeting the volunteers", get them on stage and receive a huge ThankYou from Board, community etc. 19:05:09 #action Put out a call for volunteers for oSC19. Create a list of volunteers and see if someone is willing to lead the team 19:05:29 That's a good idea 19:05:54 #action insert a small session "Meeting the volunteers", get them on stage and receive a huge ThankYou from Board, community etc. 19:06:31 anything other ideas 19:06:47 not that i can think of yet 19:07:18 ok 19:07:43 #topic Topics for next meeting 19:07:43 #info The next meeting will be Dec. 4 at 18:00 UTC. 19:08:13 #info Add volunteers as a topic for next meeting 19:08:30 Is there any other topics we want to add for the next meeting 19:09:20 will let you know before if I have any 19:09:29 same 19:09:43 ok. so we will close the meeting 19:10:08 thank you all and see you at the next meeting 19:10:11 #topic Links 19:10:11 #link Trello board - https://trello.com/b/xhSviOKO 19:10:11 #link Week 1 - https://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-project.2018-11-06-18.00.html 19:10:11 #link Week 2 - 19:10:11 #endmeeting
