Hi! Today's meeting was extremely short, since there was very little to discuss.
Temporal Imports ------------------------- Des has been researching the possibilities of temporary importing stuff without loosing money. To further his research he needs to know how much and which kind of equipment we'd like to bring. But we can't know that for certain until we know what we are going to get from local sponsors. Bank account -------------------- Via Libre (http://www.vialibre.org.ar), the foundation that will be working with the DebConf8 organizers has opened a bank account for DebConf8. Thus we are ready to receive whatever money was left from DC7, and the money that sponsors might like to send us. We would like to get the DC7-leftover money soon, so that we can do an initial payment at the conference hotel, thus booking the dates for sure. I'll send mails to Neil and Steve about this money so that we can make this happen soon. Timeline ------------- We need to decide on a Timeline for talks, registration, etc. But we can't allow people to start registering before we have payed for the hotel, because we can't be 100% certain of the dates until we do that payment. If everything goes well, we should be able to decide upon the timeline during next meeting. For now, "Registration will probably open in early 2008" is the best guess. Next meeting: 17 December, 19:00 UTC (Hopefully with more stuff going on) -- Besos, Marga _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
