1. different teams in debconf organisation / general work modes / structure
Ganneff proposed various teams to organise DebConf, and asked the floor
to
comment on them. It was generally agreed that having a list of people to
contact in case of a query was a good idea.
It was propsed that, in general, a consensus model should be used for
making decisions.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_decision_making)
ACTION: team contacts contact their teams and list who's on it on the
wiki.
Concerns were raised that in the current structure, there isn't anyone
to
manage a timeline. h01ger, Ganneff, moray and Tolimar volunteered to
head
this.
2. sponsorship team / budget / getting money
Maulkin volunteered to take parts of sponsorship, as he already worked
with Stockholm there, and there is a lot of 'local' sponsorship work to
be done. He will step back from website team a lot, already getting
other
volunteers to help there.
Other victims^Wvolunteers include Sledge, fil and faw.
Some discussion occured as to the possibility of creating different
levels
of sponsorship, but it was decided against, as sponsors may pay the
minimum
amount to gain a particular level. The team should revisit this at a
later
date to work out potential impact.
It was noted that there should be good interaction between the sponsor
seeking team and whoever is managing the budget.
ACTION: Sponsorship team to look at impact of creating levels of
sponsorhsip.
It was decided that maulkin, sledge, fil and hydroxide should manage the
budget, as they're also linked with the sponsorship team, and are local.
Some concerns were raised about keeping the budget public vs. private.
These will be discussed at a later date.
3. discuss relation to debian
h01ger stated:
"we are debian. and we are debconf, that is, the debian
conference :)
but i dont think we need to formulate/formalize this relation
at the
moment. imho we can rest a bit and think about this. there is
no urgent
action needed now. the only thing need to be dealt with at the
moment
is agreeing that people can go to sponsors on the behalf of
debian."
aj stated:
"i think the main thing that would help is to have some
concrete ideas
on what debconf tries to achieve [sic: and the measurements on
how
sucessful a particular DebConf has been]"
ACTION: h01ger to start a wiki page and seek feedback from -discuss and
-team as to the purpose and sucess measurement of
DebConf.
4. DebConf6 Video Update Report
h01ger received a copy of all raw videos last week, and they are now on
a
fast connected host. They will be moving over to m-a.d.n in the next few
days, and will then need to be re-encoded. This should be ready
real-soon-now(tm).
ACTION: gwolf to liase with -video re: some software he's written
5. news from edinburgh?
activity report is mostly 'people have been resting'. There has been
some
activity, including investigation into bank accounts etc. Maulkin has
started the ball rolling in setting up a limited liability
company/organisation, and further research is being done on this front.
There is also a local team meeting in September in Edinburgh.
kevc will be meeting with the venue manager soon to get something
concrete,
and place a provisional booking.
6. monthly meetings - when?
Further discussion will occur on the lists with regard to when the best
time for monthly meetings are.
Meeting closes 21:29
