Thanks for volunteering, Link; and thanks to Allan for all the
hard (and quality) work over the years!

As an argument in favor of full minutes rather than links, if they had
been sent to the list for the meeting of March 27th, I would have seen
the below earlier and replied immediately by mail.

I do, as well as Allan, and 8 other people. For this kind of request
it’s best not to target a specific individual who might not be
available at that time though. I would advise to ask on this list, on
the engagement channel or open a ticket against the website on the
relevant bugtracker (still bugzilla at the moment, product:website).

Who needs what?

Hi,

The recipient of your mail appears as “marketing-list
”. Can you look into renaming it in your
contact list to avoid confusion?

It would be extremely useful to send out something to the list as a
result of each meeting, either the minutes themselves or a link to the
wiki page with them. This was happening in the past but it seems it
stopped around two years ago when someone else took over meeting
organization.

Also, why does the pad keep a copy of past minutes? If they have been
moved to the wiki as they should, it would be beneficial to remove
them from the pad.

Cheers,

I already expressed this concern earlier when this was discussed
amongst the board and was told this would be taken into account, but I
see this hasn’t been addressed so I’m raising it again.

The amount of $50 can be a good indication of what organizers should
aim for, but having already organized a number of small events I can
tell this doesn’t work that well. Let’s take an example to illustrate
this: I’m organizing a hackfest next month so I’m looking at having a
social event for attendees. The page suggests buying pizzas and
drinks, which sounds like a good plan. How far along can $50 get me? A
look at menus show me that it’ll be over $10 per person. I expect
something between 8 and 15 attendees, so this allocation will not be
enough. Even taking a less ambitious goal with a past example of a
release party, I paid a round of drinks but that wasn’t enough to
cover all of it. So the threshold probably should be tied to the
number of attendees.
