Hi! Sorry for the delay, here are the minutes from the meeting that took place on Monday.
1) Travel Sponsorship status The two sponsorship meetings have already taken place. We are now ready to send out the mails to people, telling them their positions in the sponsorship queue. This should be happening this week. However, there's no money to give out yet. 2) Venue Status The first downpayment for the hotel has been done. Everything is now looking good in this area. We are now deciding the different areas (hacklabs, talk rooms, etc) and how to cable the electricity for them. 3) Network status There's a good chance that servers from TK might be imported paying USD 400 for customs. TK is probably going to give us 5 servers. #debconf-admin will decide how they would use them. We still need to get more servers from someone else. Due to the Venue change, the ISP quotes we already had needed to be redone. They should be finished by next week. Once we are done with the electricity digrams, we will do the network diagrams. So, probably in two weeks or so. 4) Sponsors status We are not doing bad, but we need at least one more Platinum sponsor in order to be able to give people money for travel fares. Intel international was not able to fund us, but we are now trying with the Brazilian branch. Other companies that might be worth trying but that are currently dead-ends: IBM, Oracle, AMD, Asus. If anyone has a contact with any of them, please, contact the sponsors-team. There's also a list of companies that might be worth giving a try at: http://www.debian.org/users/#com 5) Talks / Proceedings The talks announcement was delayed, but it should be happening this week. We still need people for the proceedings team, to gather the papers. We are asking Zack, who was in the talks team, to see if he can help out there. 6) Next Meeting We are now having 2 meetings per month. So, next meeting will be Monday, June 2nd at 20:00 UTC.
