The global team held a meeting on #debconf-team on May 10th, starting at 19:00 UTC. I agreed to write the summary.
Local team update: Holger and Moray are planning a visit to Banja Luka toward the end of May, in order to meet the local team, and to become acquainted with the layout of the venue. They will be reimbursed for their travel expenses; concrete figures will be available shortly. T-shirts: They will be printed in Bosnia; the Mexican supplier is to be informed of this. Some proposed t-shirt designs are available at http://valessiobrito.info/projetos/debconf/debconf11/tshirt.svg http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/T-Shirts (near bottom of page) and http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/File:V2pdc11.svg Sponsorship team status - getting money: Holger will approach several more sponsors while at Linuxtag in Berlin. Adnan reports that he has several more large sponsors lined up to approach, and is to supply concrete information on those upon his return to Bosnia. Advertisements in magazines: Clint will contact Linux Journal about deadlines for placing an advertisement. (This has been taken care of in the time it has taken to write this summary. The information has been posted to the mailing list by Moray.) There was also discussion of a thank-you ad, to run after DebConf11. Registration: The deadline for registration was extended to Thursday, 19th May. According to http://rkd.zgib.net/http/debconf/registration-data.txt there are currently 348 people registered to attend. Budget: Please see http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debconf-data/dc11/budget.ods for budget and http://rkd.zgib.net/http/debconf/accounting-balances.txt for current account balances. Travel sponsorship: There will shortly be a call for volunteers to join the team dealing with travel bursaries. The process will be similar to that used at DebConfs 7 and 8. Talks team: Gunnar has been declared the leader of the talks team, with the option of asking Biella or others to co-lead. Submissions are presently being reviewed, and there is a talks team meeting proposed for later this week. The next meeting will take place in a fortnight's time: Tuesday, 24th May, at 19:00 UTC.
