15:59:48 <Stian1> Welcome everyone
16:00:21 <bittin> thx
16:00:28 <oliverp> +1
16:00:37 <evaristus> hello!
16:00:38 <Stian1> Agenda is available on https://wiki.fscons.org/IRCMeeting/6
16:00:49 <Stian1> Does anyone have anything to add to the agenda before we start?
16:01:18 <Stian1> hi, evaristus. 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. Ljo are in cc.
16:15:11 <oliverp> *potential sponsors
16:15:38 <oliverp> *ljo are in cc in the mails I have sent
16:15:56 <Stian1> any luck so far?
16:17:01 <oliverp> one sec
16:17:41 <evaristus> Stian1: while oliverp is busy, any luck with sfbok?
16:18:00 <oliverp> #info no confirmed sponsors (yet)
16:18:26 <oliverp> Got the impression that key staff was in several cases on vacation
16:18:30 <Stian1> evaristus: I'm afraid they're a slow bunch, especially during summer. 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.
