17:05:57 <evariste> #startmeeting FSCONS IRC meeting #0 17:05:57 <MeetBot|fscons> Meeting started Mon Feb 16 17:05:57 2015 UTC. The chair is evariste. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 17:05:57 <MeetBot|fscons> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic. 17:06:57 <xenadu> MeetBot is a part of or integrated into IRC? 17:07:15 <evariste> You can go to the url there ↑ 17:07:23 <Stian> I just had a look at the debian page linked there. It seems to be pretty nifty. 17:07:52 <evariste> xenadu: MeetBot is a bot, i.e. a program that takes part in irc discussion 17:07:58 <taboom> look like a handy bot to have 17:08:10 <Stian> So, since our agenda is to agree on a date for a get-together, I will try using the info command to the bot now. 17:08:33 <evariste> to start a new item, use the topic command 17:08:41 <Stian> ah, ok 17:08:53 <evariste> but you have to be meeting chair 17:08:57 <Stian> #topic Social get-together 17:08:57 <evariste> #chair Stian 17:08:57 <MeetBot|fscons> Current chairs: Stian evariste 17:09:08 <evariste> oups, 1 second too late 17:09:08 <Stian> #topic Social get-together 17:09:23 <evariste> no it worked :-) 17:09:48 <Stian> #info We need to find a date for our first social get-together of 2015 17:10:09 <evariste> do we have a place/activity in mind? 17:10:15 <xenadu> evariste thanks, meetbot looks good 17:10:26 <Stian> #info We also need to decide on a place 17:10:47 <taboom> where we can eat and drink? 17:10:54 <Stian> xenadu: I take it you are not often in Göteborg? 17:11:36 <evariste> do we have our treasurer in here ? 17:11:39 <Stian> Previously, we have been at Ölrepubliken a few times. I think that could be a nice option 17:11:52 <Stian> I'm afraid LJO is delayed from Prague 17:12:04 <Stian> he's landing in GBG in 20 minutes 17:12:31 <taboom> hes a busy boy LJO 17:12:33 <xenadu> stian: not often no 17:13:44 <Stian> Let's decide place first: Does Ölrepubliken sound good to everyone? 17:13:56 <Stian> http://olrepubliken.se/ 17:14:17 <evariste> good for me 17:14:36 <taboom> good place 17:14:38 <Stian> For anyone who is not familiar with the place, it's quite central in Göteborg. The closest tram stop is Domkyrkan. 17:14:44 <taboom> #agree 17:15:16 <Stian> #agreed The place for our get-together will be Ölrepubliken 17:15:54 <Stian> As for time, I think a Monday will be good. 17:16:00 <taboom> the hard bit is getting a date and time 17:16:31 <taboom> Mondays works for me after 18:00 17:17:42 <evariste> good for me too 17:17:49 <Stian> Seeing as we have had most luck in doing meetings on Mondays, I assume that would be best for the gathering as well. Perhaps once a month if it turns out well. 17:18:30 <taboom> Yep 17:18:32 <Stian> If we have these meetings on the third Monday of every month, how about scheduling get-togethers for the first Monday of every month? 17:18:55 <evariste> do you still have fripost meeting every other monday? 17:19:10 <Stian> Which would place the get-together at 2 March. 17:19:29 <xenadu> Sounds like a good plan. Would be nice with some regular IRC meetings too :) 17:19:44 <Stian> Well, in general yes, though we haven't had many Fripost meetings this year. 17:20:15 <evariste> xenadu: every 3rd Monday of the month 17:20:29 <taboom> we can agree on once a month but the tim might need to be finalized later 17:20:42 <evariste> Stian: ok, just checking that it's been taken into account :-) 17:20:59 <Stian> In any case, we need to synchronise the fripost and fscons meetings so that they don't overlap. Whether it ends up being every X week or every Xth monday of a month is not a big deal I think. 17:22:19 <evariste> I don't like every X week, it's harder to remember 17:22:39 <Stian> As evariste pointed out during the last meeting, it is easier to remember and predict a meeting time if it is the X'th Y-day of every month. So I will take that suggestion to the next Fripost meeting I attend. 17:22:58 <evariste> \o/ 17:23:27 <xenadu> Cool. :) 17:23:39 <taboom> good ideas should be shared :D 17:23:56 <Stian> So, any objections to placing the first social gathering to 2 March at 18.00? 17:24:04 <evariste> good for me 17:24:10 <taboom> great 17:24:22 <Stian> Very well :-) 17:25:16 <Stian> #agreed The first social gathering will take place at Ölrepubliken on 2 March at 18.00. 17:26:16 <evariste> do we have anything else to discuss? 17:26:32 <Stian> #agreed If we can successfully syncronise our meetings with Fripost, we will proceed to have a social gathering every first Monday of each month. 17:26:48 <Stian> evariste: nothing else on the agenda 17:27:24 <taboom> an effectiv meeting :) 17:27:38 <evariste> I had some question about the venue but I guess it's gonna have to wait until later 17:27:41 <evariste> indeed 17:27:42 <xenadu> very effective :) 17:28:29 <Stian> Just: I noted that xenadu just sent a keynote speaker suggestion per e-mail and would like to encourage everyone else to do so as well, as we will try to decide on that reasonably soon. 17:28:51 <Stian> Preferably, though, suggest on the wiki. 17:28:58 <taboom> ok 17:29:16 <evariste> ok, can you repeat this suggestion on the ml? 17:29:23 <Stian> Yes, I will. 17:29:32 <evariste> #topic Keynote speaker suggestions 17:29:37 <Stian> So, thanks for showing up 17:29:46 <evariste> #action Stian ask for suggestion on the mailing list 17:29:56 <evariste> thanks! 17:30:21 <taboom> Keynote Suggestions but is there a page on the wiki for 2015? 17:30:39 <Stian> taboom: no, we will have to duplicate this https://wiki.fscons.org/Keynote_Suggestions_2014 17:30:52 <Stian> or, I could do it now. just a sec 17:31:56 <taboom> thanks 17:32:20 <Stian> it's up now: https://wiki.fscons.org/Keynote_Suggestions_2015 17:32:51 <xenadu> great, thanks 17:32:57 <evariste> #link https://wiki.fscons.org/Keynote_Suggestions_2015 17:33:11 <Stian> ah, even better 17:33:15 <xenadu> actually, can you create 2016 keynote wiki page also? 17:33:39 <xenadu> some potential keynotes have a longer horizon to ask than one year 17:33:44 <evariste> xenadu: good thinking 17:33:44 <taboom> :) effency at its best 17:34:02 <Stian> ok 17:34:13 <ljo_> #info Leif-Jöran, treasurer 17:34:47 <taboom> hi Leif-Jöran 17:35:20 <Stian> https://wiki.fscons.org/Keynote_Suggestions_2016 17:35:23 <evariste> hi ljo 17:35:29 <Stian> hi, welcome back! 17:35:32 <xenadu> hi ljo 17:35:44 <taboom> nice 17:36:17 <ljo_> hi all 17:36:18 <Stian> ljo: we just decided to have a social get-together at Ölrepubliken on Monday 2 March at 18.00 17:36:18 <xenadu> Stian: great :) and we should actually work in parallel with keynotes for both years :) 17:36:47 <taboom> that will save lots of time 17:37:16 <xenadu> uhm... that means that 2016 fscons dates should be set 17:38:20 <Stian> Well, we could make that permanently predictable too by deciding to have it on the Xth weekend of November. 17:38:37 <Stian> although that decision will have to wait for a later meeting. 17:39:01 <evariste> I like that :-) 17:39:14 <evariste> do we still have some time today for an other topic? 17:39:29 <taboom> 20 min? 17:39:41 <Stian> Sure, we have some time. 17:40:08 <evariste> I have some questions about the venue 17:40:35 <Stian> #topic Venue questions 17:40:45 <Stian> ;-) 17:40:46 <taboom> will it be at humanisten? 17:41:14 <evariste> I heard that the planning for the construction work at humanisten is late, is that affecting us?? 17:41:14 <ljo_> The venue humanisten is preliminary booked, yes. 17:41:28 <xenadu> Stian: that sounds good. For a while there was a tendency for the second week end of november several years. But the first week end works also. It's good if this is put on the agenda for a meeting soon. 17:42:24 <evariste> #info The venue humanisten is preliminary booked 17:42:58 <evariste> so I guess it means that they are still planning to be done with the construction at this point?? 17:43:27 <taboom> is ther a backup venue? 17:43:31 <Stian> my personal opinion on the matter of venue is this: Humanisten is not optimal, but good enough. In any case, we cannot afford to consider an alternative with our current budget, as Humanisten does not cost us and anything else will probably be very expensive. 17:43:42 <ljo_> Yes, decisions earliest march but probably june 17:43:46 <Stian> Ah, construction. I had forgotten about that. 17:44:07 <evariste> desicion on what? 17:44:25 <ljo_> construction 17:44:42 <taboom> if it will be finished by then? 17:45:30 <ljo_> no, if it will start at all. and November is not affected 17:45:46 <taboom> ah ok 17:45:50 <evariste> good 17:45:53 <ljo_> summers will definitely be though 17:46:17 <evariste> #info the eventual construction work at Humanisten shouldn't affect FSCONS in November 17:46:28 <evariste> That might be a problem for Guadec... 17:47:10 <ljo_> please leave that speculation out 17:47:40 <evariste> ljo_, do you think it'd be possible to negotiate access to the screen display system? 17:48:28 <evariste> the CCC have a nice tool that makes nice display and already integrates with frab :-) 17:49:17 <ljo_> yes, but someone need to produce the info. please also specify what access means 17:49:50 <evariste> meed I'd like to unplug whatever windows machine generates the images and put a raspberry pi instead 17:49:57 <evariste> *means 17:50:08 <Stian> I guess the info is the schedule output from frab 17:51:26 <ljo_> I will check, but currently it is from the booking system. 17:53:01 <evariste> I'm not familiar with the booking system 17:53:13 <Stian> Could another alternative be to make a script that sends frab info to the booking system? 17:53:24 <ljo_> it was fyi 17:53:53 <xenadu> I have to go to my next meeting now :) 17:54:39 <ljo_> As i said i will check. not much more to say right now. 17:54:47 <evariste> thanks 17:55:08 <evariste> #action Ljo will check with Humanisten if we can use their display system 17:55:29 <Stian> ok, xenadu: thanks for showing up! 17:55:52 <xenadu> * waving good bye * 17:56:02 <taboom> bye 17:56:28 <evariste> One last question: we had some problem with power in the café and I was thinking that they may have some high power lines coming to the kitchen 17:56:29 <ljo_> (I also need to get off the airport coach soon in case it breaks connection ) 17:56:39 <taboom> should we end the meetbot? 17:56:58 <taboom> ok see u ljo 17:57:16 <ljo_> yes, the service outlets should not be used. period. 17:57:55 <evariste> what are service outlets? 17:58:12 <ljo_> for vacuuming etc 17:58:34 <taboom> power plug :) 17:58:49 <evariste> does that include the ones for the microwaves? 17:58:56 <ljo_> i will fix the power, so no more worries 17:59:16 <evariste> ok, good 17:59:19 <ljo_> no, those are ordinary outlets. 17:59:49 <evariste> what's your idea? 18:00:15 <ljo_> schematic 18:01:08 <taboom> they shold not be near a water source either 18:01:25 <evariste> schematic? 18:01:49 <evariste> like, electrical schematic? 18:02:24 <taboom> are service outlets safer if there is a shortage? 18:02:58 <ljo_> .use this outlet for this, and this one for that. 18:03:27 <evariste> ok, let's discuss that an other time 18:03:38 <taboom> ok 18:03:41 <ljo_> no, the service outlets should not be used. 18:04:06 <evariste> Should we close the meeting? 18:04:37 <Stian> yes, please do 18:04:51 <evariste> #endmeeting
