| ghum | hello | 19:59 |
|---|---|---|
| ghum | is there a meeting today? | 19:59 |
| contrary | hello ghum. I think there is | 19:59 |
| contrary | Alex sent his apologies - which reminded me to log on | 20:00 |
| ghum | same with me, contrary :) | 20:00 |
| ghum | on sunday my hotel reminded me of my arrival :) | 20:00 |
| contrary | are you here already? | 20:01 |
| contrary | herein Brum I mean | 20:01 |
| ghum | no | 20:01 |
| ghum | it was a "7 day arrival notice" :) | 20:01 |
| ghum | they wanted to upsell me on some spa treatments etc :) | 20:02 |
| contrary | ah! | 20:02 |
| contrary | so many sellers want to on-sell. You go and buy a packet of chewing gum and they offer you chocolate biscuits | 20:02 |
| ghum | in this case it was a friendly offer ... that they are willing to take care of my needs as of transportation, spa, fruits and whatever | 20:03 |
| *** HippySurfer has joined #europython | 20:03 | |
| ghum | but as I will walk the 10 minutes from central station ... no business for them :) | 20:03 |
| contrary | Hello HippySurfer | 20:03 |
| ghum | huhu hippy | 20:04 |
| HippySurfer | hi, not sure if there is a meeting tonight | 20:04 |
| contrary | nor were we | 20:04 |
| _dboddie | There should be some kind of meeting. | 20:05 |
| contrary | hello dboddie | 20:05 |
| _dboddie | contrary: Hello | 20:05 |
| contrary | ghum and I were having a nice chat | 20:05 |
| _dboddie | Carry on! | 20:05 |
| HippySurfer | It rather depends whether John is available. | 20:05 |
| ghum | yeah | 20:05 |
| contrary | John was in London today. | 20:06 |
| HippySurfer | I will not be able to stay very long, I have children to feed. | 20:06 |
| ghum | we both came here because of Alex doing apologies :) | 20:06 |
| fuzzyman | hey - I'll be around in 5 minutes | 20:06 |
| fuzzyman | but only for an hour, perhaps a bit less | 20:06 |
| HippySurfer | In the absense of John, may be fuzzyman could chair. | 20:06 |
| contrary | good idea | 20:07 |
| fuzzyman | I can't stay for the whole duration | 20:07 |
| fuzzyman | Tuesdays are bad for me :-( | 20:07 |
| ghum | espcially as he has only 1 houre | 20:07 |
| fuzzyman | hehe | 20:07 |
| fuzzyman | that could be a good thing | 20:07 |
| ghum | that will guarantee a short meeting | 20:07 |
| fuzzyman | really though, back in 5 minutes | 20:07 |
| HippySurfer | that just means the meeting can not last more than 1 hours | 20:07 |
| contrary | there are a lot of people listed on my screen. are they here or just hiding behind a curtain? | 20:07 |
| HippySurfer | ok | 20:07 |
| ghum | guess more idling behind a proxy then hiding behind a curtain, contrary | 20:07 |
| HippySurfer | before I disappear ... some points that I think need raising ... | 20:08 |
| contrary | go for it | 20:08 |
| HippySurfer | 1. We need list of what still needs to be done - it is hard to contribute without knowing what jobs are outstandihg | 20:08 |
| HippySurfer | 2. Need to know what help is needed at clockwork. I can't ask people to pitch up (including me) useless I know when they are needed. | 20:09 |
| aa_ | PRESENT (sorry just saw the emails) | 20:09 |
| HippySurfer | 3. Need list of tutorial attendees. | 20:09 |
| HippySurfer | Meeting not started yet. I am just getting some agensa items on the list before I have to go | 20:10 |
| HippySurfer | 4. I am very short of session charis. I will push again on the list. | 20:10 |
| *** ghum has quit IRC | 20:11 | |
| HippySurfer | Sorry must go, family just got home and they are all hungry. I will check IRC logs later. Feel free to assign actions to me where ever I can help | 20:11 |
| aa_ | so hi everyone, and when is the meeting? | 20:11 |
| HippySurfer | It will get started as soon as fuzzyman returns. | 20:11 |
| HippySurfer | Sorry must go. | 20:12 |
| *** HippySurfer has left #europython | 20:12 | |
| _dboddie | http://wiki.europython.eu/MeetingAgenda20100713 | 20:14 |
| pboddie | Thanks _dboddie! | 20:14 |
| fuzzyman | Hey folks | 20:16 |
| fuzzyman | sorry about that | 20:16 |
| fuzzyman | the missus just got back | 20:16 |
| fuzzyman | let's try and get finished by 7pm | 20:17 |
| fuzzyman | we have an agenda - great | 20:17 |
| *** ghum has joined #europython | 20:17 | |
| ghum | re | 20:17 |
| ghum | PRESENT | 20:17 |
| fuzzyman | I've pinged tartley | 20:17 |
| fuzzyman | #startmeeting | 20:17 |
| fuzzyman | PRESENT | 20:17 |
| aa_ | PRESENT | 20:17 |
| contrary | PRESENT | 20:18 |
| _dboddie | PRESENT | 20:18 |
| ghum | PRESENT | 20:18 |
| fuzzyman | we have no richard or tartley - but I know the emails to attendees / presenters went out | 20:18 |
| pboddie | PRESENT | 20:18 |
| fuzzyman | did that include emails to tutorial attendees? | 20:19 |
| _dboddie | That's difficult to know unless one of us is a tutorial attendee... | 20:19 |
| fuzzyman | hehe | 20:19 |
| fuzzyman | not me I'm afraid | 20:19 |
| _dboddie | Wish I'd thought of doing that before. | 20:20 |
| pboddie | I was looking for the mails just now, but I can't find them. | 20:20 |
| aa_ | I have an agenda request from one of the tutorial-givers | 20:21 |
| fuzzyman | aa_: for your tutorial specifically? | 20:21 |
| aa_ | no, just a general request | 20:21 |
| aa_ | not from me, from jek, who is not PRESENT | 20:21 |
| fuzzyman | ah - from one of the givers | 20:22 |
| fuzzyman | do you know what he means by an agenda? | 20:22 |
| aa_ | can someone add it to the agenda "please send out projector resolution information" | 20:22 |
| fuzzyman | what information does he want that isn't on the timetable? | 20:22 |
| aa_ | ^^ | 20:22 |
| fuzzyman | projector resolution? that's what he means by an agenda? :-) | 20:23 |
| aa_ | anyway, sorry | 20:23 |
| fuzzyman | it's a good question though | 20:23 |
| aa_ | an agenda item to be asked for# | 20:23 |
| aa_ | and that was my translation, not his | 20:23 |
| fuzzyman | oh - you said general request, sorry | 20:23 |
| aa_ | anyway, sorry :P | 20:23 |
| fuzzyman | pboddie: I've found the email from Jonathan - doesn't look like there was anything specific for tutorial attendees | 20:23 |
| _dboddie | Maybe that's why HippySurfer was asking for a list of attendees. | 20:24 |
| fuzzyman | most projectors these days will do higher than the traditional 800x600 | 20:24 |
| pboddie | I only found a mail talking about tutorials and the Wiki pages, not anything concrete. | 20:24 |
| fuzzyman | right | 20:25 |
| pboddie | aa_: http://wiki.europython.eu/Projectors (from last year) | 20:25 |
| aa_ | pboddie: brill thanks | 20:25 |
| fuzzyman | cool | 20:25 |
| pboddie | I can write the blog post about tutorial people indicating their preferences, although I seem to recall that samastur was interested in (or advocated) taking registrations by e-mail. | 20:26 |
| fuzzyman | either by email or signups on a wiki page | 20:26 |
| fuzzyman | I don't recall | 20:26 |
| fuzzyman | it's getting a bit late for this | 20:26 |
| fuzzyman | there are wiki pages for each tutorial though | 20:27 |
| fuzzyman | http://wiki.europython.eu/Talks/ | 20:27 |
| fuzzyman | for each talk in fact | 20:27 |
| aa_ | people might be willing to list their names | 20:28 |
| fuzzyman | Jonathan was asking on the email list very recently asking how to get a list of everyone who has signed up for a tutorial | 20:28 |
| pboddie | I guess that's available only to those with registration system access. | 20:28 |
| fuzzyman | so we have to leave that in his hands if he can get the information in time | 20:28 |
| aa_ | (number of attenders for a turorial is really useful info for the presenter) | 20:29 |
| fuzzyman | yep | 20:29 |
| fuzzyman | agreed | 20:29 |
| _dboddie | pboddie: It looks like samastur isn't going to make it to EP (see his mail). | 20:29 |
| aa_ | i.e. how many friends you need to coerce into helping | 20:29 |
| pboddie | I don't mind writing a blog post telling people to write their name on a Wiki page. At least then, the presenters will see the information immediately and not have to wait for someone to tabulate it. | 20:29 |
| aa_ | and it would encourage a community-feel around the tutorial | 20:29 |
| fuzzyman | pboddie: go ahead | 20:30 |
| fuzzyman | a new wiki page or reuse the existing wiki pages for the tutorials? | 20:30 |
| _dboddie | pboddie: Maybe also CC the general europython list. | 20:31 |
| pboddie | _dboddie: RGR! | 20:31 |
| fuzzyman | RGR? | 20:31 |
| fuzzyman | HipppySurfer has asked: | 20:31 |
| fuzzyman | We need list of what still needs to be done - it is hard to contribute without knowing what jobs are outstanding | 20:31 |
| fuzzyman | I guess John, Q, Alex and Richard are the best placed to answer that question | 20:32 |
| fuzzyman | but none of them are here | 20:32 |
| _dboddie | It would be good to know when things like bag stuffing will occur. | 20:33 |
| fuzzyman | I think Sunday - possibly also Saturday | 20:34 |
| aa_ | dumb question: is there a timetable of organisation? | 20:34 |
| fuzzyman | John would know for definite | 20:34 |
| fuzzyman | aa_: I assume not, I guess that is basically what HippySurfer was asking for | 20:34 |
| _dboddie | It looks like Bag Stuffing is at 17:15 on Sunday: http://www.europython.eu/talks/timetable/ | 20:34 |
| _dboddie | But things like that might not be hard to get volunteers for. It's the unknown other stuff we need to know about. | 20:35 |
| pboddie | It looked like the timetable details might not be the actual details, but I have no concrete information about the actual details. | 20:36 |
| contrary | last year it seemed to take an awful long time to sort out all the badges, printing etc | 20:38 |
| fuzzyman | right - I *think* HippySurfer is hoping to marshall volunteers for this | 20:38 |
| fuzzyman | but will need to know when / where | 20:39 |
| _dboddie | fuzzyman: OK, can you ask questions of the relevant people? | 20:39 |
| fuzzyman | who are the relevant people? | 20:39 |
| contrary | Q, John | 20:39 |
| fuzzyman | John / Q / Richard? | 20:39 |
| fuzzyman | ok | 20:39 |
| fuzzyman | who is HippySurfer? | 20:39 |
| fuzzyman | I can email them and ask them to let him know | 20:39 |
| pboddie | Richard Taylor | 20:39 |
| fuzzyman | hah | 20:40 |
| fuzzyman | ok - cool | 20:40 |
| fuzzyman | DECISION: fuzzyman to email John / Q and Richard to try and get an idea of what needs doing and when it will be done | 20:40 |
| fuzzyman | _dboddie: any news on sponsorship? | 20:41 |
| _dboddie | We made progress with ScraperWiki, as far as getting them in touch with Richard. | 20:41 |
| fuzzyman | right | 20:42 |
| _dboddie | I haven't heard anything from Nokia. My colleague blanked me in the canteen, so I should really make a point of visiting her office at some point. :-) | 20:42 |
| fuzzyman | but they haven't bitten yet | 20:42 |
| fuzzyman | heh | 20:42 |
| _dboddie | ScraperWiki were supposed to send logos to Richard. | 20:42 |
| _dboddie | I'll chase up Richard. | 20:43 |
| _dboddie | DECISION: David will chase up Richard about ScraperWiki. | 20:43 |
| pboddie | I think Richard managed to get their logo up on the site. | 20:44 |
| fuzzyman | we already have one more blog post planned | 20:45 |
| fuzzyman | Michael Sparks has made progress on video plans | 20:45 |
| fuzzyman | any Rhubarb news? | 20:45 |
| fuzzyman | obviously not | 20:47 |
| fuzzyman | the registration stuff we covered last week I think | 20:48 |
| fuzzyman | is there anything else anyone wants to raise / say / discuss | 20:48 |
| fuzzyman | ? | 20:48 |
| *** ghum has quit IRC | 20:49 | |
| contrary | HippySurfer raised session chairs | 20:49 |
| *** ghum has joined #europython | 20:49 | |
| pboddie | A mail did go out about session chairs, but maybe I'll blog about this, too. No idea how many people follow the blog, though. | 20:49 |
| _dboddie | pboddie: It's on planet.python.org, so it raises awareness. | 20:50 |
| * pboddie is going to edit tutorial pages to add attendee lists. | 20:51 | |
| fuzzyman | ok - great | 20:53 |
| fuzzyman | contrary: HippySurfer said he would chase for more session chairs on the mailing list | 20:54 |
| fuzzyman | last chance before I close the meeting ? | 20:54 |
| _dboddie | When is the next meeting? | 20:55 |
| pboddie | Thursday? | 20:55 |
| fuzzyman | we should probably have one on Thursday if possible | 20:57 |
| fuzzyman | same time, same place | 20:57 |
| fuzzyman | goodbye everyone, I have to go | 20:57 |
| fuzzyman | bye | 20:57 |
| contrary | bye | 20:57 |
| _dboddie | See you. | 20:58 |
| * pboddie has just edited the Wiki. | 20:58 | |
| *** moreati has joined #europython | 20:58 | |
| moreati | Hi al sorry I'm very late | 20:59 |
| contrary | hi alex. we have just finished | 20:59 |
| ghum | bye | 20:59 |
| aa_ | bye everyone | 20:59 |
| contrary | moreati: there is another meeting scheduled for 1800 bst thursday | 20:59 |
| moreati | righto, I can definitely make that. I'm just reading tonight's log | 21:00 |
| *** contrary has quit IRC | 21:02 | |
| * pboddie has just blogged about tutorial preferences. | 21:02 | |
| *** ghum has quit IRC | 21:03 | |
| _dboddie | moreati: We're not really all that focused. I think we need to know what we can do to help people on the ground. | 21:05 |
| *** moreati has left #europython | 21:09 | |
