| zeth | Hi paul_boddie | 19:06 |
| paul_boddie | Hello zeth! | 19:10 |
| zeth | How are you? | 19:10 |
| zeth | the meeting is now today at 6pm is it? | 19:10 |
| paul_boddie | OK. And yourself? Busy? | 19:10 |
| paul_boddie | Yes, the meeting was moved to today. Everyone forgot the meeting on Tuesday apart from two or three attentive souls. | 19:11 |
| zeth | Yeah busy | 19:11 |
| zeth | but busy with good things | 19:11 |
| paul_boddie | Moving to Finland not yet on the radar, then? ;-) | 19:12 |
| Taggnostr | is there someone from Finland that will go to europython? | 19:16 |
| paul_boddie | Probably a few, I would imagine. | 19:16 |
| paul_boddie | I can't remember how many there were last year, though. | 19:16 |
| Taggnostr | so I guess you are not in Finland then, I see you were talking about it | 19:17 |
| paul_boddie | Are you in Finland? | 19:22 |
| Taggnostr | yes | 19:23 |
| paul_boddie | Whereabouts? | 19:23 |
| Taggnostr | I'm in Turku | 19:25 |
| paul_boddie | I've only ever been to Helsinki and Tampere, unfortunately. Is Turku nice at this time of year? | 19:26 |
| Taggnostr | yes | 19:28 |

| contrary | I didnt think there was a parrot in room | 20:21 |
| paul_boddie | I haven't seen an agenda. | 20:21 |
| zeth | We can probably use the old one: | 20:22 |
| zeth | http://wiki.europython.eu/MeetingAgenda20100511 | 20:22 |
| Taggnostr | is there a meeting for the organizers? | 20:22 |

| paul_boddie | #startmeeting | 20:23 |
| zeth | lets press on and not get killed by the semantics | 20:23 |
| paul_boddie | Have to get the syntax right! ;-) | 20:24 |
| zeth | as we are late already | 20:24 |

| zeth | okay in case we do | 20:24 |

| dboddie | PRESENT | 20:25 |
| ghum | PRESENT | 20:25 |
| ghum | I have an apologie concerning talks ... | 20:26 |
| zeth | TOPIC talks | 20:26 |
| ghum | the same thing I sent around the mailing list ... I persuaded Hanns to submit a talk about Jessyink | 20:26 |
| zeth | go gh | 20:26 |
| zeth | go ghum | 20:26 |
| ghum | (that is Prezi but open source as Python extensions to InkScape) | 20:27 |
| zeth | no problem | 20:27 |
| ghum | Bad news: | 20:27 |
| ghum | it was submitted only friday last week... | 20:27 |
| ghum | so, after the initial scheduling. | 20:27 |
| zeth | thats fine | 20:27 |
| ghum | Would be phantastic to be able to schedule it :) | 20:27 |
| zeth | we included it | 20:27 |
| zeth | I think we included it? | 20:27 |
| ghum | GREAT | 20:27 |
| zeth | Anyway we are aware of it | 20:28 |
| *** moreati_ has joined #europython | 20:28 | |
| moreati_ | Sorry I'm late, my turn to forget about the meeting | 20:28 |
| zeth | So we met in Birmingham on sat | 20:28 |
| ghum | Good. Please let me add the constraints: Monday <= talk <= Tuesday | 20:28 |
| zeth | and we made a draft of the schedule | 20:28 |
| ghum | yeah. loved that draft | 20:29 |
| zeth | Thanks to moreati for doing most of the heavy work with approving talks and pinner for inputting the schedule | 20:29 |
| ghum | what I enjoyed less: only one place for Lightning Talks | 20:29 |
| paul_boddie | Yes, great job everyone! | 20:29 |
| ghum | (place in time) | 20:29 |
| zeth | ghum: see wed 9:45 | 20:30 |
| zeth | lecture room 1 | 20:30 |
| zeth | http://www.europython.eu/talks/timetable/ | 20:30 |
| zeth | is that no good? | 20:30 |
| zeth | So that link is the draft timetable | 20:30 |
| zeth | more changes will happen | 20:30 |
| ghum | Ah, JessyInk on wednesday is not possible | 20:30 |
| zeth | pinner and I have some possible cancellations | 20:30 |
| ghum | Hannes has to leave on Tuesday | 20:30 |
| zeth | fine | 20:31 |
| zeth | we will move him up next time we change it | 20:31 |
| ghum | great! | 20:31 |
| ghum | if there are some cancellations | 20:31 |
| zeth | So when exactly is he here? | 20:31 |
| zeth | Monday and Tuesday? | 20:31 |
| ghum | Yes | 20:31 |
| ghum | He has to leave on Tuesday evening | 20:31 |
| moreati_ | Please also look at the Tutorial times | 20:31 |
| zeth | right okay | 20:31 |
| ghum | If more slots become available: I would love to have another LightningTalkSession | 20:32 |
| zeth | Well | 20:32 |
| zeth | what we might do | 20:32 |
| zeth | is that if we get more cancellations | 20:32 |
| zeth | we might cancel a room | 20:32 |
| zeth | Lecture room 1 on wed | 20:33 |
| moreati_ | ghum, I think one of the Plenary sessions could become lightning talks | 20:33 |
| zeth | and have it all open space in there | 20:33 |
| zeth | Yeah | 20:33 |
| zeth | We don't want to scedule lightning talks against some other talks | 20:33 |
| ghum | yes, zeth | 20:34 |
| zeth | lightning talks work better as plenary sessions | 20:34 |
| ghum | yes | 20:34 |
| zeth | (i.e. when everyone is therE) | 20:34 |
| zeth | there | 20:34 |
| ghum | agree totally | 20:34 |
| zeth | So | 20:34 |
| ghum | so my proposal is: if more cancellations, get a bingo-line for LT :) | 20:34 |
| zeth | it is ongoing | 20:34 |
| zeth | yeah | 20:34 |
| zeth | hopefully we wont | 20:34 |
| ghum | (bingo=4 rooms :) | 20:34 |
| zeth | problems are people getting into UK | 20:35 |
| zeth | from far far away | 20:35 |
| zeth | and some people who need sponsors to fly them in | 20:35 |
| zeth | because they are coming from far far away | 20:35 |
| zeth | anyhow | 20:35 |
| zeth | the talks are ongoing, are you ready to move to the next topic? | 20:36 |
| zeth | TOPIC Sponsorship | 20:36 |
| ghum | ready | 20:36 |
| paul_boddie | There are three 14:00 "keynote" slots which don't seem to be allocated to anyone currently. Maybe LT can appear in one or more of those. | 20:36 |
| zeth | undo new-TOPIC | 20:36 |
| * ghum agrees with paul_boddie | 20:36 | |
| paul_boddie | Oh, and is it safe to publicise the timetable now? Or wait until the official June 1st milestone? | 20:37 |
| ghum | w8 until milestone | 20:37 |
| zeth | I think it is okay, what does moreati think? | 20:37 |
| ghum | as long as rescheduling is being done | 20:37 |
| zeth | Well there will be rescheduling up until the end | 20:37 |
| moreati_ | wait, we still need to finish those few details | 20:37 |
| zeth | but yes maybe wait a couple of days | 20:37 |
| zeth | There are a few broken links I noticed | 20:38 |
| zeth | I will fix them | 20:38 |
| zeth | the abstracts page is behind the schedule | 20:38 |
| zeth | will need to regenerate the abstracts page | 20:38 |
| zeth | Other than that, are people generally happy with the timetable | 20:39 |
| zeth | any problems with it? | 20:39 |
| zeth | At the moment we are considering "open space" as well as the BOF point | 20:40 |
| zeth | but that might go, depending | 20:40 |
| zeth | We were going to have wed in lecture room 1 to be open space | 20:40 |
| zeth | But maybe the concept overlaps with BoFs? | 20:41 |
| zeth | what do you all think? | 20:41 |
| zeth | okay, well stopping the monologue | 20:41 |
| ghum | I cannot really find the difference between BoF and Open Space | 20:41 |
| zeth | TOPIC Sponsorship | 20:41 |
| moreati_ | ghum, ditto | 20:41 |
| ghum | So I suggest to name it BOF / OpenSpace | 20:42 |
| zeth | To me they seemed to be the same concept | 20:42 |
| paul_boddie | I think it overlaps, yes. As long as you don't write "Birds of a feather flock together" scarily multiple times on the schedule like at one conference I went to. Very threatening! | 20:42 |
| zeth | but to people who were helping last year, they seemed to have some philosophy of open space with weird rules, but I never got it | 20:43 |
| zeth | I think maybe we can just have BoF | 20:43 |
| zeth | BoF point has worked well in previous years | 20:43 |
| zeth | I have enjoyed hanging out there | 20:43 |
| zeth | aa_ was always there | 20:43 |
| zeth | so anyway | 20:43 |
| moreati_ | re sponsorship, John told me Oracle will be providing some, the amount isn't finalised | 20:44 |
| zeth | great | 20:44 |
| moreati_ | that's all I know | 20:44 |
| zeth | who is heading up sponsorship now, just john and Q? | 20:44 |
| moreati_ | yes | 20:44 |
| zeth | There was someone else last year | 20:44 |
| zeth | but I forgot who | 20:44 |
| zeth | Anyway since no one is here from sponsorship team, lets move on | 20:45 |
| zeth | I wait 30 secs | 20:45 |
| zeth | TOPIC Registration | 20:45 |
| zeth | moreati_: any idea on numbers? | 20:46 |
| zeth | I haven't logged into that cart thing since PyConUK | 20:46 |
| zeth | 2008 | 20:46 |
| zeth | so I have no clue | 20:46 |
| zeth | I was about 200 last time | 20:46 |
| zeth | and a lot of speakers were not registered yet | 20:46 |
| moreati_ | I don't know a more up to date number, it was 200 as of Saturday | 20:47 |
| zeth | cool | 20:47 |
| paul_boddie | I'm sure pinner will inform us before the end of the meeting. | 20:47 |
| zeth | hope so | 20:47 |
| zeth | we can give him a dump of the meeting thus far if he emerges | 20:47 |
| zeth | it was jacob | 20:47 |
| zeth | laura's husband | 20:48 |
| zeth | that was who was in the sponsorship team last year | 20:48 |
| zeth | TOPIC Accommodation | 20:48 |
| zeth | I also know nothing about this | 20:48 |
| zeth | TOPIC Infrastructure | 20:48 |
| zeth | Richard Taylor is going to make signs | 20:48 |
| zeth | paul_boddie: any thing to add about the web or wiki? | 20:49 |
| zeth | TOPIC Keynotes | 20:49 |
| zeth | I know nothing about this | 20:49 |
| zeth | TOPIC publicity | 20:49 |
| zeth | Are we going to organise a push when the schedule is ready? | 20:50 |
| zeth | TOPIC Any Other Business | 20:50 |
| zeth | Thats it | 20:50 |
| moreati_ | Yes, please make a note your diaries to bombard http://wiki.europython.eu/Publicity/Channels on tuesday | 20:51 |
| contrary | move on? | 20:51 |
| contrary | move on? | 20:51 |
| zeth | I suggest we arrange a new meeting when everyone else can come | 20:51 |
| zeth | contrary: do you have anything to say | 20:51 |
| contrary | yes | 20:51 |
| zeth | go for it | 20:52 |
| contrary | I want to send out a message to ep mailing list telling everyone about the Partner Programme - will it be shown on the website alongside the talks | 20:52 |
| zeth | Good point | 20:52 |
| paul_boddie | zeth: Not much to add about the Web site or Wiki, really. | 20:52 |
| zeth | contrary: I think on the last point | 20:52 |
| zeth | we need to do something about that | 20:52 |
| zeth | I agree that the partners programme should be on the same table as the schedule | 20:53 |
| zeth | Then new people who are organising their travel here | 20:53 |
| zeth | will know whats on | 20:53 |
| * dboddie has nothing to add about sponsorship. | 20:54 | |
| contrary | I am confused. are we talking about PP or sponsorship | 20:54 |
| zeth | PP | 20:54 |
| zeth | TOPIC partners programme | 20:54 |
| dboddie | PP - sorry | 20:54 |
| contrary | So is it agreed the PP programme will be publicised on the same page as the talk? | 20:55 |
| zeth | no worries, so is the timetable here final-ish? http://wiki.europython.eu/NonPythonProgramme | 20:55 |
| zeth | Enough to put into the timetable | 20:55 |
| contrary | Yes | 20:55 |
| zeth | So for the others here | 20:55 |
| paul_boddie | We can promote it a bit better on the front page, too. | 20:55 |
| zeth | the suggestion is that we put a column in the timetable | 20:56 |
| zeth | for the partners programme | 20:56 |
| moreati_ | I'll glue the PP programme and conference timetable together before tuesday | 20:56 |
| contrary | yes | 20:56 |
| contrary | when it is done i will send out an email | 20:56 |
| zeth | DECISION Partners programme will be on the main timetable | 20:57 |
| zeth | ACTION moreati will glue them together | 20:57 |
| zeth | ACTION contrary will compose an email for the list about it | 20:57 |
| zeth | ACTION zeth will check links on timetable and that the abstracts are up to daste | 20:58 |
| zeth | date | 20:58 |
| zeth | I think we are getting to the end now | 20:58 |
| zeth | as anyone got anything else to say? | 20:58 |
| moreati_ | no | 20:58 |
| contrary | good night | 20:59 |
| ghum | good night, too | 20:59 |
| *** contrary has quit IRC | 20:59 | |
| zeth | I have john on phone | 20:59 |
| ghum | cool | 21:00 |
| zeth | he is coming on | 21:00 |
| ghum | anything newsworthy? Sponsors or KEynotes? | 21:00 |
| ghum | aaah | 21:00 |
| ghum | <--- goes into w8ing mode | 21:00 |
| zeth | 230 registered | 21:00 |
| zeth | pinner has agreed sponsorship with oracle | 21:01 |
| zeth | who haven't yet paid for last year | 21:01 |
| ghum | could be an accounting database problem :) | 21:02 |
| paul_boddie | ghum: They aren't SAP so it can't be performance issues. ;-) | 21:02 |
| ghum | paul_boddie: you should not ignore the tarpits of Oracle Applications :) | 21:03 |
| zeth | Keynotes: Simon Phipps, Bruce Lawson, Guido | 21:03 |
| zeth | (pinner still talking) | 21:03 |
| zeth | Guido will do Q&A | 21:04 |
| zeth | other people that john is talking to | 21:04 |
| zeth | anyone want to say anything to pinner? | 21:05 |
| zeth | since I have him on phone? | 21:05 |
| *** pinner has joined #europython | 21:06 | |
| zeth | Pinner is saying he is in favour of more lightning talk sessions | 21:06 |
| paul_boddie | Should we use some of those keynote slots, then? | 21:06 |
| zeth | pinner is here now | 21:06 |
| zeth | so I hanged up phone | 21:06 |
| moreati_ | hi pinner | 21:06 |
| zeth | 19:06 < zeth> DECISION Partners programme will be on the main timetable | 21:06 |
| zeth | 19:06 < zeth> ACTION moreati will glue them together | 21:06 |
| zeth | 19:07 < zeth> ACTION contrary will compose an email for the list about it | 21:06 |
| zeth | 19:07 < zeth> ACTION zeth will check links on timetable and that the abstracts are up to date | 21:06 |
| pinner | hi, sorry to be so late: I've been training all week and have just come home after dropping the students at the station | 21:06 |
| paul_boddie | No problem! | 21:07 |
| zeth | JessyInk needs to be on Monday or Tuesday | 21:07 |
| pinner | ghum: you're right, there are not enough lightning talks | 21:07 |
| ghum | esp. a LT session on day 2 is helpfull | 21:08 |
| ghum | it may be a short one | 21:08 |
| zeth | The big publicity push will be on tuesday, announing the schedule | 21:08 |
| paul_boddie | Perhaps Wednesday at 14:00 could be a LT slot as well. | 21:08 |
| ghum | paul_boddie: it would be better to have it on Tuesday | 21:08 |
| ghum | so Wednesday is filling more rapidly when people learn of the joy of giving a LT | 21:08 |
| zeth | 18:51 < ghum> I cannot really find the difference between BoF and Open Space | 21:08 |
| zeth | 18:51 < moreati_> ghum, ditto | 21:09 |
| paul_boddie | Remember that it's four days, ghum! Four days needing lightning talks, although Monday is probably a bit early. | 21:09 |
| moreati_ | previous years, we've had one LT session earlier, to warm people up and encourage talks at the later sessions | 21:09 |
| zeth | (pinner: I pasted some of the meeting you missed) | 21:09 |
| moreati_ | tuesday seems a good day for that | 21:09 |
| pinner | suggest LT session on Tuesday,as a minimum | 21:09 |
| ghum | additional LT Session that is | 21:10 |
| paul_boddie | Four days is unprecedented, really. | 21:10 |
| pinner | zeth: I saw, ta | 21:11 |
| zeth | The discussion above was whether we need both open space and BoF | 21:11 |
| zeth | We don't have today either of the two michaels | 21:12 |
| zeth | open space fans | 21:12 |
| zeth | If we end up losing the argentian talks | 21:12 |
| zeth | talk | 21:12 |
| pinner | The Bof space is for small informal meetups, I think the idea os a separate bigger Open Spacde was for bigger meetups, say if the Djangoists wanted a meetup, for instance | 21:12 |
| pinner | several people wanted a barcampish Open Space, (Mr TopF?) but I thinks that is for another occasion | 21:14 |
| zeth | well that is what they had before | 21:14 |
| zeth | They had some weird rules and sat in a circle signing kumbaya | 21:14 |
| zeth | I don't think we have anyone to lead that this year | 21:15 |
| zeth | Michael Sparks did that at PyConUK, and MrTopF has done the same kind of thing | 21:15 |
| pinner | there are still a few people we are expecting talks from, but who have not submitted, as usual. Like Chris Tismer, and a new person, Hilary Mason | 21:16 |
| paul_boddie | When it comes to Open Space (capital letters, with rules), the people who really want that sort of thing have to drive it. It doesn't work so well when everyone else has to second guess them. | 21:17 |
| pinner | Lukas as putting together a (musical) group for a jam session, he's talking to the digital music people at the Conservatoire. | 21:17 |
| pinner | I guess that would have to be a late afternoon session in the Recital Hall | 21:18 |
| pinner | but until he come up with something definite we can't do much | 21:18 |
| zeth | paul_boddie: agreed it needs a strong and charismatic chair to keep the thing rolling, we have not had a volunteer for that as yet | 21:19 |
| ghum | pinner: if there is music, please make sure to give advanced info to Ableton ( sponsors in 2009, makers of musik software) | 21:19 |
| paul_boddie | Maybe we can mail the list and someone like Christian will step up. | 21:19 |
| ghum | maybe they can contribute to music making | 21:20 |
| pinner | ghum: will do, we need to ask them about sponsorship, as well | 21:20 |
| zeth | paul_boddie: good idea, assuming we still have the space | 21:20 |
| zeth | I think we might be full | 21:20 |
| zeth | we have 4-5 tracks, plus BoF point | 21:21 |
| zeth | plus people just hacking and chatting | 21:21 |
| zeth | plus people in the loo and in the pub | 21:21 |
| pinner | zeth: if need be e can always hire an extra room, say Lecture Room1, should be big enough | 21:21 |
| paul_boddie | Everybody knows that there's no talking allowed in the loo. | 21:21 |
| ghum | loo ? | 21:22 |
| moreati_ | toilet | 21:22 |
| zeth | I always talk to the guy in the next urinal, just don't look down | 21:22 |
| zeth | however this is Euro-Python though | 21:22 |
| zeth | urinals are not very european | 21:22 |
| * pinner has just been reminded that he is supposed to be taking his wife out.. | 21:23 | |
| pinner | zeth: the best urinals are Dutch, and have a Sphinx logo on them, they're made by a friend of mine :-) | 21:24 |
| dboddie | It's probably a good moment for me to leave as well... | 21:24 |
| zeth | I think we are done? | 21:24 |
| moreati_ | I have nothing more. | 21:24 |
| paul_boddie | Yes, I think I'm going, too. | 21:24 |
| zeth | pinner: can your friend do a keynote? | 21:25 |
| pinner | thanks, Zeth for chairing it, difficult keeping yourself in order, eh? | 21:25 |
| zeth | there was very few of us here | 21:25 |
| *** moreati_ has quit IRC | 21:25 | |
| zeth | I need to re-roll the abstracts page | 21:26 |
| zeth | I forgot how we make the pickles | 21:26 |
| pinner | zeth: pass, but he might lend us some ceramic Sphinxs | 21:26 |
| zeth | cool | 21:26 |
| zeth | I saw some woman on the TV | 21:26 |
| zeth | who had set up a new factory in Stoke | 21:26 |
| zeth | making ceramics | 21:26 |
| zeth | that would be a cool keynote | 21:26 |
| zeth | everyone else is closing them and moving them to china | 21:27 |
| pinner | zeth: Richard is re-building the site every night as from about now, I think | 21:27 |
| zeth | she is going the other way | 21:27 |
| zeth | okay | 21:27 |
| zeth | cool | 21:27 |
| zeth | I need to fix some errors in the abstracts | 21:27 |
| zeth | The problem is going to come on tuesday | 21:28 |
| pinner | zeth: in the talk_build directory, ./build_talks.sh live sched, AFAIR | 21:28 |
| paul_boddie | All that "we must make stuff in China" thing is frequently more motivated by suits wanting to "maximise shareholder return" than other more genuine business reasons, I would argue. | 21:28 |
| zeth | speakers who are not on the europython improve list, will suddenly bring up problems with their slot | 21:28 |
| zeth | maybe we just call it done when it is done? | 21:29 |
| zeth | Is it worth emailing speakers first with the timetable? | 21:29 |
| zeth | I think that might be bad idea though | 21:29 |
| paul_boddie | Well, the announcement is just to let people know what is being spoken about, not the precise path through the conference venue that they will need to take. | 21:30 |
| zeth | it would invite people to pick the whole thing apart | 21:30 |
| pinner | zeth: moreati did that already | 21:30 |
| zeth | ah cool | 21:30 |
| paul_boddie | So, we could more or less announce it now (or on June 1st). The moving of talks could still take place. | 21:30 |
| pinner | the time table page says that it will change before the conf | 21:31 |
| pinner | paul_boddie June 1 would be fine | 21:31 |
| Taggnostr | is it possible to edit the talk abstract and the speaker profile? | 21:33 |
| pinner | one thing I forgot: Yusdi is happy to do the timetable again. But he may not be able to come this year. He's left school:they paid for him last year. he put a lot of work in and I'd like to offer him free entrance | 21:33 |
| paul_boddie | Yes, he did an amazing job. I think he deserves free entrance. | 21:34 |
| pinner | zeth: can you answer Taggnostr? | 21:35 |
| zeth | Taggnostr: yes | 21:36 |
| zeth | Taggnostr: well possible for me | 21:36 |
| zeth | pinner: cool | 21:36 |
| paul_boddie | Taggnostr, zeth: self-service editing, I guess. | 21:37 |
| Taggnostr | so if I want to change something I should ask you (or some of the other organizers), right? | 21:37 |
| zeth | yeah | 21:37 |
| zeth | we never got around to making it user editable | 21:37 |
| pinner | Taggnostr: I think zeth was going to give speakers access to their talks and bios on the Django system, but I don't know where he's got to. | 21:37 |
| Taggnostr | that would be nice | 21:38 |
| zeth | well the problem is not people editing them | 21:38 |
| zeth | but that we never got around to giving out usernames and passwords | 21:38 |
| zeth | not much point doing it now | 21:38 |
| zeth | since next year's Europython will bin the whole lot and do their own thing | 21:38 |
| * pinner needs to go, and apologises for his incompetence in being late | 21:39 | |
| zeth | have a nice night | 21:39 |
| ghum | gn8! | 21:39 |
| *** ghum has quit IRC | 21:39 | |
| pinner | zeth: I hope not, but we shall use it for PyCon UK anyway | 21:39 |
| pinner | good night all! | 21:39 |
| zeth | pinner: that is a good point | 21:40 |
| *** pinner has quit IRC | 21:40 | |
| zeth | Taggnostr: did you have some changes? | 21:41 |
| Taggnostr | zeth, yes, let me check | 21:43 |
| zeth | just type them over IRC here and I will add them | 21:43 |
| * paul_boddie is leaving. | 21:44 | |
| paul_boddie | See you all! | 21:44 |
| zeth | night paul_boddie | 21:44 |
| *** paul_boddie has left #europython | 21:45 | |
| *** junkafarian_ has joined #europython | 22:59 | |
