Re: [Debconf-team] Monday June 5th meeting -- starting at 14:00 UTC

[Tammy Manning]

HI

I can't attend the meeting because it tells me connection is refused?
does anyone know what that is about?
How do I connect again?
Normally I can't join on a Monday night due to work but my schedule has
been moved to a Wednesday.

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] [Debconf-discuss] DebConf17 logo: call for proposals

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Mehdi

It seemed important enough to Jerome to extend the deadline in the hope
of getting more proposals. I was trying to help him to achieve that with
the tools we have. It is up to him, nothing is enforced.

I thought this was a no-brainer and didn't need an explanation…

I think it is a great idea, and I for one must get my butt into gear and
get the concepts sent to him too.
He has been very understanding.

Nice to open it to all though helps with variety.

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Thank you for DebConf

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Martin

Hi DebConf team,

I wanted to thank all of you for organizing DebConf!  I think
DebConf16 went really well.  The venue worked out well, the conference
was well organized and the talks very pretty good this year.

Thank you!

Only a pleasure and many thanks for the positive feedback.

Speaking as a Platinum sponsor, I'm happy with the visibility on the
banners and in the press release.

That makes us very happy to hear that, it means our aim was achieved.
Many thanks for your continued support DebConf wouldn't be able to do it
without our valued sponsors!

Kind Regards
Tammy

Hi Stef


Tammy, can you give us an invoice for the things we owe you for.

Can everyone who spent their own money on DebConf check that your
reimbursements are listed in journal.ledger [0]

Yes, sure Nigel asked me to scan them all in, so I'll focus on doing that
today.

Re: [Debconf-team] Things to discuss

[Tammy Manning]

Hi all

Things to discuss in the meeting:

Aquarium Dinner:

SCHEDULE:

Buses leave at 16:00pm, as it is peak hour traffic, and they have an hour
btw each drive, if the buses are slightly late, we need to be prepared for
that, we also need to prepare delegates for that too.

Aquarium Entrance:

Delagates are allowed to enter the Aquarium at 5pm, only.
They will be allowed to go to the Penguin area btw 5pm and 6pm.

6pm: Everyone needs to meet in the Foyer, where the "Finding Nemo" tank is.
The doors for the main entrance will be closed while they do the set-up.
No one is allowed to enter the main area but will have access to the Foyer
and the Seaweed Forest. There will be an open Bar for people to buy drinks.

6:30pm - 7pm: They will start serving Canapes and the Cocktails.

7pm: Someone should say a few words, & welcome everyone.
We also need to explain the Drink system, everyone gets an elastic
band,they need to hand in the elastic band to claim a drink.
They can have, either:
a glass of Wine, a Beer, Juice/Tizers. The *maximum* we have budgeted for,
is R45.

7pm-7:30pm: People can start entering into the Venue, through the Jelly
Fish forest. As they enter the main door, they will be handed an elastic
band.

7:30pm: The Starter is served, as well as the Salads.
8pm: Everyone can start getting their Main meals from the Buffette section.
8:45pm/9pm: Desert is served.

There is a Cash Bar, everyone gets one drink, and the rest they need to buy
themselves.

10pm: The first Bus arrives and starts taking people back to Fuller.

Last Bus is 00:00am.

VEGAN/SPECIAL DIETS: Alison will hand out a card to give to people, they
will need to place this on their table place, so the waiters know who to
give special meals too.

DECORATION:

1) would like to get strips of coloured fabric/paper 40wide and 2.2m x 10
tables for each table, whichever works out cheaper. All tables are all
white and very bland.

2) Menu's I would like to make a Table Menu for each Table, x 10 tables.

CLOSING CEREMONY:
What are plans for this? What time is it happening on Sat?

We need to get Valessio to make the Video so please can you let me know,
what content you would like for the Video

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Daytrips and DEbConf Dinner Buses

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Everyone

I have received the final Quote from Rashid.
Please see attached.

Buses:
Now that we are going to Fairy Glen the Bus Price has gone down.
It now only Costs R85 for 60 pax.

Seal Island/Table Mountain
Seal Island they can assist us at 11:30 or in the afternoon.
We must confirm a Time.
Personally I would recommend that you do Table Mountain first, then Seal
Island afterwards, it might just be better, as the Charter has a Bar on it.
It also give people time to walk on the Beach or explore Hout Bay
"Waterfront" a bit.

If everyone leaves UCT at 10am for Table Mountain, then by Lunchtime they
can be on their way to Hout Bay.

Fairie Glen:
Fairie Glen called with a little bit of bad news.
One of their buses broke down, therefore they will have to divide the car
up into 2 groups of 30 pax.

While one group is doing the drive, the other group can do the walk.
Then the group gets together for Lunch, and the next group go.

Regards
Tammy

I updated the wiki page.

Thanks a stack I changed the time to 6:45am, to get there on time.

Re: [Debconf-team] DAYTRIP AND DEBCONF DINNER

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Rashad

You have been amazing in helping us, many thanks.

We have finalised our Busses.
If you would be so kind as to amend the final Quote.

Working on an 8 hour day:

>From UCT and back to UCT, 60 seater busses.

1) Cape Point and Boulders. (2 Busses)
2) Robben Island (1/2 day price) (1 Bus)
3) Table Mountain, wait at Table Mountain, then take everyone to Seal
Island.
(1 Bus)
4) Fairie Glen Safari Trip ( can we do the trip without going through the
tunnel?)
(1 Bus)
5) Spice Route Beer tasting(1 Bus)

We will send you the time Schedules once we have firmed this up, by close
of Day.We would need a bus for the Safari at 6:30am to get to Fairie Glen
by 8:45am.

DEBCONF DINNER:

We are going with the one Bus option, based on an 8 hour day.
We will start the Bus trips from 16:00pm, ending at 18:30pm. To get
everyone there.

Then we would need collecting from the Aquarium, starting at 11pm.

Regards
Tammy

[Debconf-team] Re; Day Trip, Safari Fairie Glen

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Daniel

This is looking, like a great option.
You arrive and have snacks some pastry's and Coffee.

They take you on a Game drive, with a Nature Walk to the Waterfall, it is a
4 hour drive with Game viewing guaranteed.

For Lunch they will organise some African Dancing so it creates a great
African experience, at no extra cost.

They have also met our price requirements.
They are 1.5 hours away, which is much closer than Aquilla.

I definitely think we must do this Aquilla, are not willing to budge at
all.

 Let’s do this….



08h45 – Arrival to Tea/Coffee/ Juice / Croissants

09h00 – Depart on a beautiful Game Drive AND Stunning Nature Walk to our
50m high dam

13h00 – Sit down to a really sumptuous buffet lunch



You will see – real close-up – zebras, elephants, bontebok, eland, blesbok,
rhino, lion, buffalo, wildebeest etc.  Our rangers are extremely
knowledgeable and informative.



They WILL enjoy it.



*Rates per person @ R990.  *



*Please advise soonest your comments and /or suggestions?*



*Warm regards*

*ROKEA WILSON*

Re: [Debconf-team] Day trips

[Tammy Manning]

hi Bernelle

I tried to to change the price of the Safari to R1420 with bus fare it is
more pricey.
It wouldn't change though.

Tomorrow we will hear about the Safari's no one was available today.

Seal Island, I'll send you the details tomorrow, I must just see what times
she has available on Wednesday.

Re: [Debconf-team] Local team: accept cash to buy airtime for people via online banking?

[Tammy Manning]

 Hi Raoul

I could potentially arrange an airtime vending device for the office?

You put money into the wallet on the device, and then you sell from the
device and pocket the incoming money.

Your system would be ideal for this!

Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Day Trips

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Rossouw

Please see the options below, that Stefano sent through, a couple of weeks
ago.
Please could you update the Table on wiki for us.

I have added the prices to make it easier for you.

Spaces/Seating:
The buss companies, that I have quotes for, are for 45 seaters or 60
seaters.
Once we have confirmed which company we are going with, we will know how
many seats/spaces to offer.

>From there it would be, whoever writes their name down first, gets to go.

THE OPTIONS:

*1) Robben Island (Prison + Penguins) + V Waterfront*
Price: ZAR300

For this we would need to know the numbers in advance, as these Tours are
always fully booked.
I am busy following up on this.

*2) Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens - with optional hikes up Table Mountain*
Price: ZAR 55 for adults
ZAR15 for kids aged 6-17yrs.
Hikes are FREE :)

*3) Cape Point Nature Reserve (Baboons, Ostrich, Antelope) + Boulders
Beach **(maybe stop at Simons Town Harbour: nice restaurants/pubs and Curio
shops. Or **Brass Bell for a Drink at Kalk Bay. **)*

Price: Adults: ZAR 125,00 Children: ZAR 65,00

Walk up to the lighthouse or Funicular (Cable Car):

Adults: ZAR58 (return), ZAR48 (single) Children: WINTER SPECIAL: Kids go
free, when accompanied by an Adult.

Boulders: ZAR10 entrance (sometimes they charge)

Price with Funicular (Cable Car) & Boulders: ZAR193
*4) Spice route:*
TASTINGS: Wine, Beer, Grappa, Chocolate tasting + optional Fairview Cheese
and Wine farm (walking distance away).
Price: ? can't really give a price here.
What do you think we should add for pricing?

*5) Table Mountain Cable Car* - I would combine this with Seal Island,
otherwise just a trip up and down the mountain.
(We would have the bus for the day, so a trip to Hout Bay is not an extra
cost)
Table Mountain: ZAR 240.00
Seal Island: ZAR 60 adults, ZAR 30 kiddies (Winter group special)

Total cost: ZAR 240+ ZAR 60 = R300

*6) Aquilla Safari's: *
This is for who can afford this, please add it. I will give you the details
on Mon, when Monique from Aquilla will give me all the revised details.

** If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please let us know.**

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] DebConf T's

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Everyone

Please see the T's in Dropbox or GIT.
Thanks Stefano for your help in advance ☺

I have 3 Options:

1) Basic Short sleeve T's
2) Long Sleeve T's and
3) Hoodies

They all fall within our Budget, apart from the Hoodies that are a little
more expensive. We can source money from the Swag items, as not all of them
come to the full Budget. If you like the Hoodie idea.

Cape Town in Winter is known for its rain, and cold temperatures on some
days. I would strongly suggest, going with the Long Sleeve options.

There are different Material options:
a) Hemp and Organic Cotton - super soft and comfortable
b) Plastic Bottles and Cotton - Yep, you'd be surprised at how soft Plastic
Bottles can be! The T's are made out of recycled plastic bottles. The
fibres are then woven with the cotton to create the fabric.
c) Cotton - lovely and soft.

The suppliers will Die the fabric to any colour we would like, as well as
print the Logo's onto the back of the T's.

The Price is for the Dying, Make-up and Printing.

Let me know your thoughts and hopefully this evening we can get a decision
on the T's and Bags, so they can go into Production this week.

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Banners

[Tammy Manning]

Speaking of Banners.

This was what I had in mind, but let me know the requirements.

1) Large 3m x 1m, welcome Banner to put up.

2) How many Roll-up banners would we need? I was thinking 7 Roll-ups.
A couple with just the logo and mountain, the other banners with the
Sponsor Logos.

3) How many Podiums are there, for us to add banners?

Any other Banners that need to be done? Apart from the Posters that were
requested.

Re: [Debconf-team] Custom made, Conference Bags

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Everyone

Please see to Conference Bags.

I have uploaded them in Dropbox and I am hoping someone would be kind
enough to upload it in GIT for me (Dlange  or any one else)

These are the Conference Bags, well within Budget.

LAPTOP BAGS:
a) They will be made up of a sturdy Printed Canvas, with a Material Inner.
b) There will be a built in Laptop Sleeve, that will be detachable (if you
want to just use the Laptop sleeve, you could).

c) The Logo will be on the front, as well as all the Sponsor Logo's,
printed onto Fabric patches and sewn onto the Bag.

There are a couple of Colour options, Plain or Multicoloured.

We need to make a decision hopefully by Wed evening, in order for them to
go into production, right away, for us to meet the Deadline.

They are colourful and vibrant, a piece of SA that you can take home with
you!!
The inner, is based on the African Prints that we have in Africa.

T's I will add later this evening.

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Meeting reminder: 4 May 2016, 18:30 UTC

[Tammy Manning]

Hi All

I am waiting on some of the samples for all the Swag, T's, and Bags.
My supplier has only given me half of what is needed.
She is sending the rest, but not in time for the meeting.
I would rather finish this tonight and add the options on Friday.

Could we chat about this on Mon evening, once everyone has had a look at
the options
and the Designs?

Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Airport Shuttle option, DebConf Dinner Transport - Springbok Atlas

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Everyone

Nattie asked me to explore the option of the Airport Transport to the
Conference.
and possibly at the end of the Conference.

Please see below:

2 x 13 Seater Shuttles, working on 1/2 hour schedules.
ie: People arrive at 9:00am, wait to fill the shuttle, 9:30am the shuttle
leaves.
They will go from the Airport to UCT and back to the Airport again.

They have based the costing on an 8 hour day.

Cost per Shuttle: R3 435
x2 = R 6 870
2 days x R6870 = R13 740

Perhaps we could ask if people would like this option and they pay a fee
for it.

DEBCONF DINNER:
Not sure if anything has been arranged or if Jammie shuttle can do this?
But the Quote I got from Springbok Atlas was:

OPTION 1:
Cost per 60 Seater: R2894
4 x 60 Seater = R11 576
Cost per person: R46.30

OR the cheaper option:

OPTION: 2
We hire *1 x 60* Seater and we base the fee on an 8 hour day.
The Bus Driver would do 4 Trips to and from the Aquarium.
Starting at 7pm and then again to collect us.
Cost: R4510
Cost per person R18.04

*All prices exclude VAT.

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Day Trips

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Everyone

Please see the PDF that has been put onto Git. (hopefully).
It has all the Day trip options as well as pricing for the various
places/tours.

There are 3 set Tours arranged by Tour Companies:
they are one package for a certain set price.
1) The Aquilla Safari (Big 5 Safari)
2) Wine Tasting (Wine Flies)
3) Franschhoek Wine Tours

OR there are other options too..

The other options:
My suggestion is to possibly *create our own Itinerary for the day,* and
the delegates choose which option they would prefer.

**On the PDF I have added separate prices for each option.**

*For Example:*

*DAY TRIP 1:*

South Peninsula tour:
1) Start at Seal Island in Hout Bay (for the 1 hour boat trip).
2) Go to Cape Point Nature Reserve, walk/take the Funicular up to the
lighthouse
3) Boulders Beach

Cost: +/- R300

or

1) Start at Cape Point Nature Reserve, walk/take the Funicular up to the
lighthouse
2) Go to Boulders Beach for lunch
3) End with the SA Navy Museum Tour and Submarine

Cost: +/- R260


*DAY TRIP 2: *
Mountain, Land and Sea Tour

1) Go up and down Table Mountain, in the Cable Car (weather depending)
2) Seal Island in Hout Bay, 1 hour tour
3) end at Groot Constantia for some Wine tasting and the Museum

OR

1) Go up and down Table Mountain, in the Cable Car (weather depending)
2) Kirstenbosh Gardens (lunch and a walk about)
3) End at Groot Constantia for some Wine tasting and the Museum

Cost +/-  R380 - R400 (Table M and Seal Is) as well as the Museum and Wine
Tasting

*DAY TRIP 3:*
1) Robben Island Tour
2) Stop at Signal Hill/Company Gardens for Lunch
3) Castle of Good Hope/ underground tour

Cost:
+/- R330 without the underground tour
+/- R580 with the underground Tour of the Castle

*DAY TRIP 4: *

1) Draakenstein Lion Park
2) Giraffe House
3) Spice Route for Beer, Wine or Chocolate Tasting

Cost: +/- R300

DAY TRIP 5:
1) Elgin Valley and Botrivier beer tasting (1.5hrs - 2hrs out of CT)
* maybe add a Cheetah experience in Somerset West to "beef it up".
Cheetah experience not listed.

Cost: R150 - R250

We would be looking at R300 - R1200
I have not added transport into this total. But maybe work on a R75 budget.

These are all suggestions and please feel free to add or mix and match etc.
Ask if all is not clear.

Regards
Tammy

Hi Alison

Wouldn't it be better to keep 2 hours for lunch time 12-2pm. In one hour we
won't be able to get through everyone eating lunch, especially according to
the set up of any of the caterers.

Re: [Debconf-team] I want to volunteer

[Tammy Manning]

I'm not sure which is the status of the childcare organization for
this debconf (maybe another team member can answer about that). I
suppose the different options will depend on how many children are
expected, and how many volunteers we have, and the cost of paid options.

Hi Larjona

we are organising Childcare but closer to DebConf, and also when we know
what numbers to expect etc.
So spot on.

Re: [Debconf-team] Conference Dinner Options

[Tammy Manning]

HI Everyone

Please see the Menu's for all the options, in this link here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debconf-data/dc16.git/tree/dinner/Restaurants%20and%20Menus

*DEBCONF DINNER SUMMARY:*

I have looked around at some options for the DebConf Dinner from something
that is a little different/unique, to a more African experience, a very
stylish option a normal option and lastly if the numbers are small a really
fun option:

Once again it is listed from my favourite:

*1) The Aquarium at the Waterfront *

They can seat us throughout the Aquarium, we can organise some African
dancers/drumming as well as a Marimba band if we want to add to the African
theme.

We would do Cocktails and Canapes as everyone arrives and by 7:30pm we can
start the Dinner.
It would be 3 Courses please see the Menu options on Dropbox.
They would be happy to arrange Beer on tap with a few Craft Beers and they
do very good Vegetarian options.
We can also choose how we would want the Tables to be set up (we don’t have
to go all out as per the ones in the Brochure)

WHY THIS WOULD BE GREAT: Something very different and we would have free
access to the Aquarium it is also at the Waterfront if people would like to
go out afterwards, and close to town too.
The food is also very good and have been there for a Function/Dinner before
- they are very well organised.
We can work out a good price and Menu for what we are wanting.

The Entertainment would be optional and an added expense.

For this it starts at:
Canape's and Drinks on Arrival = R40 p/p (set price)
Menu’s start from = R360 - R495 p/p
Drinks = Please see Menu we could organise a Bar tab or people pay for
their own. Entertainment: would be extra (if we would like it)

I would say for this option we would be looking at about R550 - R650 p/p
with entertainment.

*2) MOYO - Kirstenbosch*
http://www.moyo.co.za

Close to UCT, at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens - we wouldn’t see much
of the Gardens as the sun sets early in Winter.
This is an African themed Restaurant, and their Food is served in a Buffet
Style.
This used to be at Spier but has moved to Kirstenbosch and Big Bay.
It is a large restaurant and could be quite cold and impersonal, but the
price is within budget, we could also organise some entertainment as an
extra - in the way of African dancers/Marimba band etc.

They do Face painting with a nice African pattern on the face etc.

They have quoted R100 per person for Bar Tab, this allowing for a welcome
drink, juice on the table and the Brampton duo to be served on the evening.
The balance can be used toward a bar tab for beers / wines / ciders and
soft drinks and spirits be cash bar. This is a flexible tab which can be
amended accordingly

For This:
Bar Tab = R100 p/p for welcome drinks, Juice on the table. (please see Bar
menu attached) We could also set a Tab here.
Menu starts at = R250 - R455 p/p we can work with them to see what would
work best, as well as what price and menu, we would want. Entertainment =
R8000 - R10 000 therefore R32 - R40 p/p.

I would say for this option we would be looking at about R500 - R600 p/p
(depending on meal options)

*3) Shimmy Club - Beach Bar*

http://www.shimmybeachclub.com

This is a club at the end of the Waterfront situated right on the beach
with its own Private beach.
In Winter we wouldn’t have the full effects of the restaurants with the
DJ’s etc, but we can always ask for this option. They have Indoor seating,
we could organise entertainment such as Fire Dancers, Drumming etc, they
can do tailor made packages.
They have Whiskey tasting room too.

It would be 3 Courses please see the Menu options in Dropbox.
They offer Vegetarian options, they only do a Bar tab but we could order
Wine for the table or Juices for the table. There drinks are rather Pricey,
it is an upscale Bar.

They charge for Venue hire, the Entertainment would be optional and an
added expense.

For this it starts at: Venue Hire

For this it starts at: Venue Hire : R 36’270. (Incl.VAT).

250 Guests @ Set menu 1 (R380pp) 15% Gratuity (on food and beverages only)
SUBTOTAL : R 95’000.00 : R 14250.00

Total : R 145’520.00

I would say for this option we would be looking at about R585 - R700 p/p.
With drinks and entertainment it would be more towards R700., but people
can pay for their own Drinks to keep costs down. We could just order
wine/beer jugs per table.

*4) QUAY 4 at the Waterfront *

http://www.quay4.co.za

They have the Upstairs area which is more upmarket and a downstairs area
which is more casual and rustic. This is a pub and restaurant. We would
hire out the Top area if the numbers are at 250, as this is the nicer
restaurant with an A la Carte Menu.

The Restaurant has many Beers on Tap with a Live music band. This is
downstairs so everyone could have dinner upstairs and then go downstairs
and mingle with the other people at the restaurant.
This Restaurant and Bar is very public and if we have more than 250 people
we would have to move 

[Debconf-team] Fwd: Invoices for the Catering and Parking

they are aware of this conference and your parking requirements. We often
deal with Harry Fisher: Harry Fisher harry.fis...@uct.ac.za



Please see some further traffic contacts below:



If *YES*, please contact the Chief Traffic Officer to make arrangements and
specify any VIP parking requirements.

organisers.
- Permits for *casual parking* may be obtained at the Visitor’s Reception

Hi Tammy



I don’t know which venues you have booked for the Deb conference but it
would be ideal if you could have your teas and lunches in an open area near
the lecture venues.

Perhaps check with your Debconf committee if they have booked a space like
this?



Neerasha is requesting that we be the ‘middle man’ as we are making the
payment for the accommodation and have signed the UCT residence accom
contract.

However any other liaison with UCT service staff, eg with ICTS for WIFI,
with Supercare for cleaning, with security and with traffic – you will need
to handle on behalf of the Deb conference.



Kind regards

Belinda

Many thanks for your response and the follow up with her, if we weren't

this not the case?

I have sent Neerasha a follow up mail for her to please respond whether she
has had feedback from the Managers and Senior Coordinators of the Residence

residence. I will let you know when I receive feedback.



Re: the deposits required for the caterers. Please can you liaise with the

Dear Janet



Please see the Invoices attached for Catering of Lunch and Dinner for
Debcamp and DebConf.



1) TBC who will be doing the Conference catering from the 2nd - 9th July
2016

For TBC we were hoping to have them in the upstairs room at Fuller Hall,
with the balcony, this is where we would like to be setting up the tables
if we get permission, which we are waiting for.

They will also need a locked store room to store their equipment while they
are there, and  a section of the Kitchen to wash dishes. This was all noted
in my email to Belinda and Peter.



2) Matt Fox (Rondebosch Caterers) who will be doing the DebCamp catering
for Lunch and Dinner from the 26th June - 1st July 2016.

During the Camp people will walk down to the Pub for their Lunch and Dinner
meals, so we won't need a designated area for catering as we do for TBC.

They will also be doing our Braai on the Wed during the Conference as well
as supplying Tea and Coffee in the afternoon.



Please see that for both Caterers they need a Deposit made to secure the
bookings.

TBC - R10 000 and Rondebosch Caterers - R20 000 (invoices are attached)
These need to be paid as soon as possible as we would hate to loose our
bookings.



3) PARKING: for the Conference we need to get permission for people with
cars to park at UCT over the conference period. How do we g

Re: [Debconf-team] Deposits for Caterers

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Everyone

I am sending an email to the Caterers to let them know that we are still
interested and organising the Deposit for them in order to secure the
booking.

If we don't pay the deposit there is a risk of us loosing out.

This is the process as I understand it (please correct me if I am wrong):
1) TBC as well as Rondebosch Caterers - we (as in me) will need to submit
the Total Invoice as well as the Invoice for the Deposits to be paid to the
CMC at UCT.

The CMC will then pay the deposits of  R10 000 (TBC) and R20 000
(Rondebosch Caterers)
that the Caterers require for Phase 1 of the booking?

If this is the case then we might only get payment much later and could
loose our Bookings with the Caterers.

Is there another solution?

Nigel I am waiting for the Caterers to update the amounts I am CC'ing you
into emails. Then I can send all to you.

Please see once again the invoices of the Deposits to be paid in order to
secure the bookings.

Regards
Tammy

[Debconf-team] (no subject)

[Tammy Manning]

Dear Peter
I trust that you are well.

We are organizing a Conference called DebCamp and DebConf over the
June/July Holidays. The dates are: 23 June - 1 July 2016 for the Camp and
2nd-9th July 2016 for the Conference.

It is a coding conference (as in Software development and coding) and
attracts people from all over the world.

We have booked Accommodation at UCT, during the time of the Conference and
met with Kristen, last week Wednesday to discuss availability of the
various rooms, and the premises.

Kristen informed us that we would need to get permission from you first in
order to book, hence my email. These were the items discussed in the
meeting:

1) We will be bringing in Caterers they would need:
a) a Water point/ Kitchen to wash dishes
b) NB!! a LOCKED Storeroom to store all their catering equipment so that
they can rotate, the various lunch and dinner shifts
  c) either a place that they can keep
their tables and chairs with a key to lock up.

2) Rooms we looked at:
a) 2x Common Rooms (upstairs and downstairs)
b) 4 (bed rooms) that we could use as “hack” rooms / meeting rooms, with
tables and chairs
 c) a Part of the Kitchen

We discussed that if we rent out all 200 rooms for the conference then we
could have access to Fuller Hall, but if not then we would be limited to
the amount of rooms we could have

What Kristen kindly suggested:
1) We could be allocated a room opposite the Kitchen to use as our
storeroom with a key to lock up, for storage of the Caterers equipment
(which would be perfect).

2) If we didn’t rent out all 200 rooms and you have other people staying in
the Res, then the Kitchen may be able to give us a small section that we
could use for washing up. (which would be ideal!! and most appreciated)

3) She would allow us to use the upstairs Common room with the fabulous
balcony for Lunch and Dinner. (if we don’t book all 200 rooms) but if we do
then perhaps we could use the Dining hall?
The Common room though with the balcony would be ideal as it has a toilet
on either side and good flow through.

4) She would give us the downstairs common room with a few extra tables to
use as a Lounge/social area

5) As well as 4 bed rooms, with tables and chairs (instead of beds) to use
as “hack” rooms / meeting rooms.

6) We also discussed if there were couples attending (which there will be)
then perhaps we could put two beds in one room, this would save on space.

7) We would be able to put up a few banners and notices for people, during
the conference.

I have cc’d everyone into this email as well as Cecilia (kitchen/catering)
as per Kristen's suggestion, and hopefully we can confirm all. We would
also need to know what Process we need to go through in order to secure the
booking of the various rooms - as not to loose out, this would be great to
secure as soon as we possibly can.

It sounded to us via Kristen that all this is looking promising and
hopefully with your approval we can make it a reality. It really would suit
our needs perfectly.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts Peter!

Many Thanks

Hi Everyone

I will be adding everything to Dropbox at about 6pm SAST and hopefully we
can all meet at 8:30 SAST to discuss the options and budgets for the
catering.

We would need to book someone as soon as possible so we don't loose the
bookings, but have explained all in my over view.

I will let you know the links as soon as it is in Dropbox.

Hopefully speak to you later.

Hi Alison

on my end my focus is all the Marketing material (Banners, signage etc) as
well as T's swag bags etc.
Anything design related, then when the conference is here more than happy
to help with setting up, together with some odd jobs. Anyone is more than
welcome to help and possibly might need it, but quite happy to oversee that
side of things.

Hi Brian

I am finally able to finalise all and hand over the print ready files to
you and to the Printers, I would like to get these printed next week Mon.

I have asked if everyone can quote for 50 units to start with, would this
be enough or do you suggest more?

For the overseas ones I will hand over the final Print ready artwork and
perhaps you can print it on your side?

Re: [Debconf-team] DebConf15 Thank you ad.

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Donald

I actually liked the first one with the "O" I think it added interest. ad2
I also liked that there was more info in the ad it had more body, and then
the thank-you it gave a little more
of an over all story. It also gave a little bit of thought to the sponsors
of what their sponsorship achieved.
My suggestion for that would have been to tone down the Red swirl and make
it a 50% opacity, and try and limited the text to one paragraph.

My 2c on the chosen advert.

1) Perhaps down tone the red swirl by reducing the opacity. or
2) Make Heidelberg Germany and the web details Black instead of Red, then
the conf and the swirl will balance out.
3) If you can change the spacing between the sentences and make it less so
it is more compact then that would make a big difference, as well as the
DC16 sentence.

Nice layout!

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Flyer content: for emails to sponsors and for distribution in print and web-form to communities

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Bernelle

Yes done the basics and just working on the setting of the content. From my
side I'll put it up tomorrow.
Haven't been too stressed over it as I am sure other people have worked on
it, and sure they have
put stuff up too.

Re: [Debconf-team] Meet tonight

[Tammy Manning]

Thanks Bernelle

Daniel asks if the flyer can be done in scribus (or inkscape). Let me
know if you want to meet and work on it together, and if so when would
suit you. Some people may want to play with ideas for the flyer using
the style guide, if that's ok with you.

Not necessary to meet, I'll do a proposal as I always do and anyone can
offer a design too.
Yes I said to Graham and erdz  that it can be done in Inkscape because it
is a one-pager.

Tammy

Hi All

Not going to be able to make the meeting tonight.

I have received one of the quotes for the folders and still awaiting a
quote from the printers. They have assured me by the end of the day.

As soon as I have that I will send all through.

Re: [Debconf-team] Artwork

[Tammy Manning]

Hi

I'm just trying to get that page structure as good as possible so that I
can add the correct information to it.
I do understand that and you have done a great job!! my concern people
will use that instead of what should be, and then you get the inconsistency
that you were talking about, that to me, is confusing communication.

There's a huge amount of technical design work that you're not familiar
with and it's not good that you do everything alone in isolation until a
deadline and *then* once the deadline is here, want feedback.
By no means was that the case or has been for this, hence why we said we
would chat on Sat and then on Tues to go over the style guide to make
sure that nothing has been missed and for it to get formatted for easy
access.
I have had a meeting with you and Raoul to get "team input" before we put
anything out there as a first proposal for the website layout before it is
put to the rest of the team to give input/proposals.
Added to Git - 2 weeks later still no comments from anyone. Other than you
and Raoul.
I have also asked people what their comments are, and to help with
direction re: look and feel, content etc on things: i.e. brochure, website
and now the style guide, in some cases, I have had good input and at times
no input.

DebConf and both you and Bernelle assured me that we'd do differently so
that we don't end up with the same mess we had with the logo.
Has this not been the case?
A month ago it was decided to use the logo, I had put things on Git asking
for people to put up suggestions (no response),  I did a mini Style guide
for Raoul a month ago, which is on GIT ( no response from anyone, to date)
3 weeks ago I had confirmation that everyone was happy with colours etc.
(only because the brochure was approved)
In that month it has been a busy time, and now after focusing on Brochures
and Websites I am able to sit down and give it the attention it deserves
with you and whoever else would like to give input, that time is on Tues.

Deadlines are set for a reason, and they seem to get pushed forward
every time someone panics instead of saying this is the deadline and you
can get the info on this date.
Talking in general, I do feel that needs to be managed better, but then
again that is my background.

Having said that, I care about this and I don't want you to stress and I
want to help you and make this go smoother, but that can't happen unless
you let me help you.
More than happy for the help, appreciate it immensely! that is why I have
been asking you for advice and input before I do things etc, hence  meeting
tomorrow, so we can go through the Style guide and I can give you the work,
that has been tweaked the way it should be, DebConf style.

Regards
Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Artwork

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Johnathan

Ok, I have done the style guide with the colours the bright pink is not
correct that is not a main logo, and instead of the black the purple.

I can only get to this tonight please delete the logo, otherwise people are
going to use it as well as the pink.
According to our meeting we had till Wednesday to do this, I can't drop
everything when deadlines are always pushed forwards. I am working to
schedules and I need to to stick to them.

Tammy

Re: [Debconf-team] Artwork

[Tammy Manning]

Hi Jonathan

The deadline for this was Wednesday, I spoke to at the braai and said we
need to review the Style Guide, it was agreed that we would do it tomorrow
night at the Clug Dinner.

Now there are things on Wiki that are black and pink and whatever other
colour, for everyone to use, not only is this confusing having to now
explain to everyone designing in Cyan and Black as well as Dusty pink, that
those are not the colours.

If we agreed to look at this tomorrow night and finalise it with Wed
deadline being the forefront, why are we now adding irrelevant stuff to the
Wiki, for everyone to get hold of?
I was not aware the deadline was pushed till this morning?

Deadlines are set for a reason, and they seem to get pushed forward every
time someone panics instead of saying this is the deadline and you can get
the info on this date.

Regards
Tammy

Hi Aigars

Awesome thanks a stack!!

It definitely makes a difference having a good photographer and lovely
pics! 

"All Photos by Aigars Mahinovs, released under the CC BY 2.0 licence”  - is
this correct then?

or would you prefer

"All Photos by Aigars Mahinovs, released under the CC BY GPLv2+?"

Regards
Tammy

okidoke perfect thanks!

I think the longer version is more fitting, good to have your full name
attached to it, "give credit where credit is due" kinda thing.

Re: [Debconf-team] Photo's

Hi Aigars

I hope you are well and have had a slight break after Debconf15!

A question for licensing:

We have used a large number of your Images for the sponsors brochure, from
the Debconf 15 Gallary.

At first they were "fillers" but due to the large consensus of votes, we
all feel they are really lovely and quite fitting.

I have amended them by making them black and white/duotone/monotone with a
filter for effect and other things.
This look and feel might end up being pulled through to the marketing
material,  such as the Website and other areas (if all agree on that -
still a suggestion & not finalised)

please view the Sponsors Brochure here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debconf-data/dc16.git/tree/design/Design/Sponsor%20Brochures/Brochure%202nd%20Draftcv_Diff%20Font_%20Diff%20Pic.pdf

Before we go ahead with it - would you be happy if we made use of them?

We would give you due credit by adding your name on the back cover of the
brochure .. we thought of saying:

 "All Photos by Aigars Mahinovs, released under the CC BY 2.0 licence”

Please let us know (at your earliest convenience) as we have a Sponsors
meeting on Sat, to finalise all, with hope for it to be sent out on Mon.

Regards
Tammy

[Tammy Manning]

Haha thanks Siri yes I didn't communicate that, this is the Debconf16
Sponsers Brochure proposal but was also to be viewed in case the layout is
liked, and the Debcon15 team would like to use it for the report, which we
are doing in scribus too.

 Scattering them around on public tables like easter eggs is brilliant!
