Greetings Debconf friends, I'm typing up some notes from discussions on IRC today (phew).
== Timeline == Here's an initial timeline document, adapted from https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Timeline : https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16/Timeline I started fleshing out February, please jump in and fix the rest of it. I added a note to mention that the rest of the dates mean nothing, fix and change at will, this isn't considered a draft yet. I think we can also consider it a to-done list partially. The idea is that we can merge items back into https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Timeline for the benefit of future debconfs. Thoughts? == Team Roles == madduck started a team roles page: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16/LocalTeamRoles Please go ahead and populate. The columns might be slightly misleading at this point, it might seem to imply that the debconf teams are different to the local team member, but it's not the case, we're all in it together. BTW, should we talk about a chief organiser? I guess we already have a good idea of who that is. == Website Infrastructure == Over the weekend we had some good discussions about Debconf website infrastructure. There are many details and I'd rather continue that in a seperate mail. But in an ultra-simplistic summary, we're currently discussing the following options: * Nikola (http://getnikola.com/) - static site generator in python, jinja2 * Static page generator using Django's templating system right within summit * Using Wafer, a conferencing system written with Django for PyconZA. It *may* be a more suitable option for the summit functionality as well, pending some further investigation. If you're interested, it's probably a good idea to join #debconf-infra == Debconf 15: Germany == The Debconf 16 team is strongly encouraged to join the Debconf 15 organising team. Relevant IRC channels: * #debconf * #debconf15-germany Other than that I'm not entirely sure how to get involved, maybe the Debconf15 can assist us with that and give some introduction on the current state of things, or perhaps the rest of us can just start by joining meeings. Thoughts? == Team member introductions == Quite a number of us don't know many other team members that well. On IRC today we discussed that it might be a good idea to have a wiki page of sorts with a quick description (perhaps a photo) that briefly describes affiliation, skills, interests and roles within the debconf team. There's more but this mail is already turning into a TL;DR, this is new ground for me so sorry if I'm stepping on anyone's toes, we're just running with it and would rather make some mistakes and get things done rather than spend too much time thinking about things and get nothing done. We appreciate and welcome any guidance :) -Jonathan _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
