Hi! These are the minutes from the meeting held on Monday.
* Update regarding numbers We currently have 226 attendees, 187 of them staying at the hotel. In order for us to keep the good deal regarding people's stay at the hotel, we need to get to 200 people at the hotel. That doesn't look like a very difficult thing right now, though. People are still confirming, and if we still don't have 200 in a couple of weeks, there are some who are "non-hosted" who would appreciate to be sponsored. * Incoming/outgoing funds status - Travel Sponsorship status Our budget is looking much better now. Sadly, this is because a lot of people aren't coming. Since the donations from Intel and Nokia are going to be a bit delayed, we are arranging for them to do them to SPI, and we are getting the money that is currently at SPI into Argentina. Regarding Travel Sponsorship, we'll be able to sponsor everyone that was approved, and hopefully we'll allow more people to come to Argentina. There's even extra money. We can try to sponsor a small group of the "rejected" list, but we should also save some money for future DebConfs. * Wired/wireless network planning status As it was said in the previous mail, ISP is settled, first payment (30%) made. The rest of the payment should be done when the link is working. The link is to be installed in 2 weeks time. Traveler_ and Tincho will be going down to MDQ to check on that. And they'll also be checking/starting the wireless setup, which is going to be done with borrowed openwrt APs. * Sponsor Deadline The deadline for sponsors getting on the t-shirt and the magazine is end of this week. We'll be adding all the "invoiced" sponsors. If any non invoiced sponsor wants to be included, it has to be settled before Friday. * Debian Day status We need to find a new place for DebianDay, since place that we had the planned is not available. We also need to get more talks for DebianDay, Maxy will be asking people that are staying if they can give a talk. * Schedule The schedule team was not aware of how to use PentaBarf to prepare the schedule. Ganneff will be mailing them with information on how to do this. * Keynotes We've added a new type of event: "Keynote". We currently have 4 speakers for the Keynotes: Sledge, Bdale, MarkS and Bubulle. We can still add two more speakers (one per day with talks). If there are any suggestions for that, please mail me about it. * Papers We have no idea of how the collecting of papers is going. I'll be mailing zack to ask about this. * Next Meeting As I said, we are moving to weekly meetings for July. So, next meeting will be on Monday, July 7th 20:00 UTC.
