I've already activated MeetBot ;-) 16:01:27 <bittin> just the thing i emailed but we can take that under point 3 16:01:36 <Stian1> good 16:01:51 <evaristus> hi Stian1, that's good :-) 16:01:53 <Stian1> I'll start with programme then 16:01:57 <Stian1> #topic Programme 16:02:24 <Stian1> #info The schedule has been at least preliminary set, with all confirmed talks 16:02:44 <Stian1> #link https://frab.fscons.org/en/fscons2015/public/schedule 16:03:02 <oliverp> cool 16:03:28 <Stian1> Most of the tracks are now filled. The only one that is still a bit empty is the Everyday Crypto track 16:03:28 <evaristus> Stian1: this is not public (so most of us may not be able to see this link) 16:03:42 <Stian1> Oh, I thought I made it public :-/ 16:03:59 <Stian1> How about now? 16:04:09 <bittin> had to create an account now it works :P 16:04:30 <bittin> yeah now its public 16:04:51 <evaristus> now it is :-) 16:04:52 <oliverp> are we only having two tracks the first day? 16:05:04 <oliverp> #question are we only having two tracks the first day? 16:05:24 <Stian1> For the everyday crypto track, I've asked Werner Koch for additional suggestions. We also have a confirmed workshop that can go for the first slot only, or over the three first slots. 16:05:46 <Stian1> oliverp: no, the third track is mainly being managed by another party. That would be the biohacking track. 16:05:58 <oliverp> ok 16:06:12 <evaristus> What about workshops? 16:06:42 <Stian1> On Sunday, we've set the first talk for 11:00, as we might have an additional Keynote at 10.00 16:07:05 <Stian1> So far, we've put the few workshops that were submitted into the ordinary schedule. 16:07:16 <oliverp> yeah if we have access to rooms and there is interest, can we have more workshops/BOFs 16:07:36 <oliverp> ? 16:07:50 <Stian1> There is room for more workshops, but not many have been submitted. 16:08:07 <evaristus> I see 16:08:31 <evaristus> You should have a Polog workshop :-P 16:08:46 <evaristus> (seriously, that could be cool) 16:09:07 <oliverp> are potentially interested in reaching out to people about submitting workshops 16:09:08 <Stian1> Hehe, that would be nice, although we would need to find someone to host it. 16:09:32 <evaristus> well, we have you 16:09:34 <oliverp> have at least two communities in mind for this hehe 16:10:03 <Stian1> oliverp: sure, there is room for it, so feel free to do so 16:10:35 <Stian1> evaristus, I'm afraid I'm not there just yet. ljo might be able to do it, but I doubt he will have time during the conference. 16:10:50 <oliverp> #question any deadline for submission? 16:10:53 <Stian1> I'll mention it to my superviser though, he might be interested. 16:11:15 <Stian1> oliverp: The deadline has long since passed, so now it's ASAP ;-) 16:11:36 <ljo> Could be a standoff event? 16:11:49 <Stian1> ljo: you mean on another date? 16:12:00 <oliverp> hm ok I see. Might take a month or so to confirm the one I have in mind 16:12:50 <Stian1> Any other questions on the Programme before we proceed? 16:13:00 <ljo> oliverp just find someone being responsible asap. 16:13:40 <Stian1> Let's proceed then. 16:13:45 <Stian1> #topic Sponsors 16:13:53 <Stian1> oliverp: Do you want to take this? 16:14:16 <oliverp> sure 16:14:56 <oliverp> #info have begun to call sponsors.

I wrote a hurry-up-mail to them today. 16:18:33 <ljo> New sponsors you mean. 16:18:43 <oliverp> ljo: right 16:19:11 <oliverp> #info plan to begin follow up the calls and mail this week 16:19:18 <Stian1> ljo: any other already confirmed than Göteborgs Universitet and Friprogramvarusyndikatet? 16:19:19 <oliverp> *mails 16:19:42 <oliverp> are quite optimistic :) 16:19:51 <ljo> Some sounds interested so potentially 16:19:57 <Stian1> oliverp: that's good. 16:20:27 <Stian1> Shall we proceed to the volunteer topic? 16:21:02 <oliverp> sure 16:21:27 <Stian1> #topic Volunteers 16:22:21 <Stian1> ljo: Any news on the volunteer front? Did you get to have that meeting? 16:22:45 <Stian1> with Ali I mean? 16:23:09 <ljo> Not yet, still away. But should be comming weeks. 16:23:09 <bittin> yeah as i said in the email i send earlier today i want to Volenteer this year aswell, as i said to oliverp at GUADEC, was thinking of going to Mozfest in London that sadly is the same dates this year, but don't really have the money so will stay in Sweden and go to FSCons, and as a bunch of the Swedish Mozilla People is away in London and other stuff i have more time to help with FSCons stuff this year, like hanging coats and carrying table 16:23:15 <bittin> and what not you need help with :) 16:23:31 <bittin> so would be nice if you can write me on the list with my new name Luna Jernberg, and send me an invite to that meeting when it is 16:23:39 <Stian1> that's great, bittin 16:23:48 <bittin> also if you could give me a volenteer plak for 2014 aswell as i helped a bit then too :) 16:23:54 <bittin> that was everything from me on this topic 16:24:04 <Stian1> sure, we can arrange that. 16:24:55 <Stian1> I'm afraid our Volunteer responsible is not present here today though. Ljo: could you make a note that Luna has offered to volunteer? 16:24:57 <bittin> so i wait with buying FSCons tickets until i know if i can Volenteer or not, but will still order train tickets from Stockholm with MTRExpress or SJ end of this month or middle next month :) 16:25:22 <bittin> and guess its alright for my boss to take one or two days off i tell him now months in advance when i know :) 16:25:25 <ljo> bittin: didn't find any details mail as we talked about last time. 16:25:36 <bittin> ljo: should have sent it too you 16:25:57 <ljo> ok. 16:26:00 <bittin> my gmail says i sent an email to you 11th July atleast 16:27:06 <Stian1> most importantly: ljo: do you at least have any communication with Ali going? 16:27:21 <ljo> Yes 16:27:34 <bittin> but its no hurry can take 2 this years FSCons or something, if i get accepted as volenteer, don't have to be anything fancy just something standard that can be good to have in the cv 16:27:46 <Stian1> ljo: Ok, good, so you would say that it's roughly under control? 16:28:05 <ljo> yes, it is. 16:28:27 <Stian1> Good to know, then I'll relax about that :-) 16:28:57 <bittin> think i said anything i wanted to say on this topic if no one else had something more 16:29:13 <Stian1> Let's proceed then. I don't know if there is anything to say under venue, but I added it just in case. 16:29:17 <Stian1> #topic Venue 16:29:33 <ljo> bittin: so i will send my follow up again. Was asking for details. 16:30:09 <Stian1> ljo: Does anything need to be said or done about the venue? 16:30:47 <ljo> I have prepared meeting to test info screens after vacation. 16:31:05 <Stian1> Ok, sounds good. 16:31:18 <ljo> Otherwise it should be all set. 16:31:32 <Stian1> Great :-) 16:31:36 <bittin> ljo: just something simple Luna Jernberg has helped as a volenteer at FSCons 2014 but its no hurry, can get it after FSCons 2015 for both 2014 and 2015 if i get accepted as a volenteer :) 16:32:01 <bittin> also perfect with the venue 16:32:07 <Stian1> Anything else before we close the meeting? 16:32:28 <evaristus> Where are we with the tickets? 16:32:42 <bittin> its the same venue as last year right? 16:32:56 <Stian1> bittin: yes 16:32:56 <bittin> evaristus: they are selling over Eventbrite as i have seen 16:33:08 <ljo> #info a few more registrations, but not many. paid first invice to evrntbrite. 16:33:25 <evaristus> bittin: I know, I did that ;-) 16:33:25 <bittin> http://www.eventbrite.com/e/fscons-2015-tickets-17395251666?aff=es2 16:33:32 <bittin> ah sorry 16:33:42 <Stian1> ljo: how does it compare to previous years? Roughly the same? 16:34:23 <evaristus> Stian1: it won't be easy to compare, I don't think we ever started this early ;-) 16:34:39 <Stian1> yes, I suppose 16:34:44 <ljo> If we start reaching out again it will be ok. A bit early yes, but 16:34:56 <oliverp> guess there will be a need for some promotion efforts in September 16:35:05 <Stian1> evaristus: could you please update the web page with links to the schedule? 16:35:11 <evaristus> sure, will do 16:35:23 <evaristus> I have an additional question, since we're early 16:35:26 <Stian1> when that is done, I'll ask Sam to do another promotion effort 16:35:30 <Stian1> sure 16:35:39 <oliverp> have something to add here 16:35:48 <evaristus> ok oliverp, go ahead 16:35:50 <ljo> outreach activities should be regular in September, yes. 16:36:33 <oliverp> right so my first priority is follow up with sponsors, then I hope to do some general outreach. would be great if Sam is able to help 16:36:49 <Stian1> sounds good 16:37:20 <evaristus> Maybe a new promotion email early september would be good 16:37:32 <ljo> remember to say lunch is included in some activities 16:37:40 <Stian1> evaristus: yes, we can aim for that 16:37:57 <evaristus> is that all oliverp 16:38:00 <evaristus> ? 16:38:04 <oliverp> yes 16:39:25 <evaristus> Ok, my last thing is that I'd like the doc/policy committee to think about a cooky policy 16:39:46 <Stian1> for website cookies you mean? 16:39:55 <evaristus> yes 16:40:09 <ljo> Yes, and a camera one 16:40:11 <Stian1> what is the current situation? 16:40:20 <evaristus> we don't have a policy 16:40:25 <ljo> It is noted. 16:40:30 <evaristus> frab uses cookies 16:40:37 <Stian1> ah, ok 16:40:43 <Stian1> yes, I suppose it does 16:40:58 <evaristus> I've been playing with piwik but we should decide where we stand on using it 16:42:28 <evaristus> that's would be all for me 16:42:47 <Stian1> Well it's a good question that needs to be addressed. I know too little about to really have an opinion, so I would like to leave it to the policy committee as you suggest. 16:43:29 <Stian1> I think we lost ljo, but I think we can close the meeting now in any case. 16:43:52 <Stian1> #endmeeting
