Not really; the meeting was a bit of a damp squib, few people turned up and not much was said. Here's a log: [16:02] zopepaul joined the chat room. [16:02] Aiste: hi zopepaul [16:02] zopepaul: how-deeee [16:05] Aiste: very quiet in here for some reason... [16:05] Aiste: aren't we supposed to be starting the meeting about now? [16:05] zopepaul: because everything is going so smoothly? :) [16:05] zopepaul: yup [16:05] zopepaul: wants to make sure he gets credit for showing up on time [16:06] mwh: heh [16:06] mwh: yeah, not a great turn out [16:06] Aiste: :)) [16:06] mwh: i know michael sparks couldn't make it [16:08] zopepaul: so, we load all the work up on the no-shows, right? [16:09] mwh: sounds good to me [16:09] Aiste: yup [16:09] Aiste: that's what POV does in its daily meetings :)) [16:09] mwh: who can we assign to write the website? :) [16:09] MrTopf: now I understand why you have _daily_ meetings [16:09] ghum joined the chat room. [16:10] mwh: ghum: hi! [16:10] ghum: Guten Abend. Good Evening. Gooden Abend. Ahallamahall [16:11] Aiste: ghum: hi [16:11] Aiste: sooo, shall we start? [16:11] mwh: ghum: did you see that you got volunteered to help john with the business track? [16:11] mwh: Aiste: may as well [16:12] ghum: mwh: really did not read it that strong, but I would really feel great joy to do bt togehter with john [16:12] mwh: good [16:13] lac: hi all [16:13] ghum: (I also feel great joy just to appear as a speaker :) ) [16:14] mwh: i don't know how much about the budget can be said without benedikt [16:15] mwh: i seem to recall that the last time we talked about it, we wanted to charge speakers a bit more than he first proposed [16:15] Aiste: yes [16:16] ghum: yes [16:16] mwh: ghum: i also wondered if you'd like to help collect/run lightning talks [16:17] Aiste: mwh: i was wondering, were there track description last year? [16:17] mwh: Aiste: probably :) [16:17] Aiste: hm... where could i find them, do you know? [16:17] jacob22|home joined the chat room. [16:17] mwh: http://www.europython.org/sections/tracks_and_talks/track_overview/propose_a_talk [16:18] ghum: mwh: of course I can help running the lightning talks. The "dynamic collecting method" of the years before felt perfect [16:18] mwh: ghum: cool [16:18] mwh: this is a much less urgent issue of course [16:18] Aiste: mwh: thanks :) [16:18] ghum: mwh: of course [16:19] Aiste: so, what about the budget? or do we leave that for Benedikt? seeing as he did not show up? :) [16:19] ghum: I just will prepare countdownslides and the HOLY HANDGRANADE [16:19] mwh: Aiste: i don't have anything meaningful to say myself [16:19] Aiste: same here... [16:20] Aiste: right, this is not going well [16:20] Aiste: shall we move to another issue? [16:20] Aiste: and discuss this one on the mailing list or through emails? [16:20] ghum: Yes, Aiste [16:21] Aiste: oops, nextt issue is website software [16:21] Aiste: runs to hide somewhere far away [16:21] ghum: *hides somewhere else then Aiste [16:21] mwh: too [16:22] mwh: slightly more seriously, i'm somewhat favourable to the idea of using cerns software [16:22] zopepaul: me too [16:22] mwh: aiui, the main issue would be credit card payments [16:23] ghum: mwh: my impression was that the programmers sit at CERN, and so Benedikt can threaten them easier [16:23] Aiste: what was used last year for that? [16:23] joachimS: worldpay [16:23] Aiste: ah, ok [16:23] jacob22|home: So, the CERN software is capable of the things I listed? [16:23] joachimS: i could integrate that with cerns software I assume [16:24] mwh: jacob22|home: with sufficient effort, certainly [16:25] mwh: with merely reasonable effort, notsure [16:25] mwh: it's data store is a zodb database [16:25] mwh: (though it's not a zope app) [16:26] Aiste: um... who s supposed to be resposible for this? [16:26] Aiste: i.e. using the software? [16:26] ghum: Benedikt? [16:27] lac: nobody who is at this meeting, apparantly. [16:27] Aiste: :) [16:28] Aiste: "good" meeting [16:28] mwh: sigh [16:28] mwh: i suppose i will be using the software a fair bit to sort out the schedule, etc [16:29] Aiste: anyway, is there anything that we can decide without Benedikt? [16:29] jacob22|home: Benedikt sent something to the list a few minutes ago. [16:29] Aiste: yeah, saying that he won't attend [16:29] zopepaul: Aiste: just as an update on the web frameworks, my spies are going to pycon, looking for a good keynoter for the track [16:30] zopepaul: i posted on my weblog and attracted...errr....some energetic anti-zopers :) [16:30] mwh: zopepaul: you haven't sent me a blurb yet :) [16:30] zopepaul: errr, oops :) [16:32] Aiste: looks like this meeting is going down the drain [16:33] Aiste: any point in talking any further? [16:33] mwh: Aiste: yes :( [16:33] mwh: well, i'd like to talk a little about the call for papers [16:33] Aiste: maybe we should scedule another one soonish, and discuss what we could not today? [16:33] mwh: we need to do at least these things: [16:33] mwh: (a) get descriptions of all tracks [16:34] mwh: (b) attack the/a website until submitting papers is actually possible [16:34] mwh: (c) write the damn thing and send it out [16:34] mwh: anything else? [16:36] Aiste: umm.. I will shamelessly copy previous years social tracks description and submit that :) [16:36] mwh: ok :) [16:37] mwh: and yes, another meeting soon sounds like a good idea! [16:37] ghum: mwh: with John Pinner contact you had? [16:37] Aiste: next week? [16:38] zopepaul: mwh: i suggest using the next meeting as the deadline for that list [16:39] ghum: <- is unavailable nxt week [16:39] mwh: ghum: yes, he sent me a mail [16:39] mwh: Aiste: yes, perhaps [16:39] mwh: lets ask benedikt if he can attend first :) [16:39] Aiste: ok, that's a good idea [16:40] Aiste: mwh: can you send him an email? [16:40] mwh: ok [16:41] mwh: done :) [16:42] Aiste: good, so we wait for a reply and then announce on the mailing list? [16:42] lac: is this meeting closed? [16:42] mwh: lac: i guess so [16:42] mwh: Aiste: i sent the mail to the list, hopefully he'll reply there [16:43] lac: ok take care all Cheers, mwh -- There's a difference between random people with stripy jumpers, and a respected scientist with a reputation. -- Steve Kitson, ucam.chat _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
