lac_ | hi hi | 19:07 |
---|---|---|
lac_ | are we having a meeting? | 19:07 |
pboddie | Yes, if there are things to discuss. | 19:07 |
lac_ | Guido wants to know if we have 2 projectors. | 19:07 |
lac_ | I have 14,000 Euros in the bank in Sweden now, this does not count paypal payments. | 19:08 |
lac_ | so I can pay the hotel if I had a) the amount and b) their banking info.l | 19:08 |
lac_ | that's all that is up with me. | 19:08 |
lac_ | John said that he might not be able to make this meeting | 19:08 |
* dboddie_office just remembered the meeting. | 19:09 | |
pboddie | I guess Aiste needs to pass on the information about the hotel, but she doesn't seem to be here. | 19:09 |
dboddie_office | pboddie: Did you write up the last meeting? | 19:09 |
lac_ | Ok, other news, I get into a kayak saturday morning early and head out to sea for 2 days. back sunday night. | 19:10 |
pboddie | dboddie_office: No. | 19:10 |
lac_ | so if anything happens over the weekend I cannot fix it. | 19:10 |
* dboddie_office checks the logs. | 19:10 | |
lac_ | other news guido and the hotel now can talk with each other, so this keynote will be ok. | 19:10 |
lac_ | phew! | 19:11 |
pboddie | The only thing that I've been involved with recently was the T-shirt printing, but I only passed on Zack's revised logo to one of Aiste's volunteers. | 19:11 |
pboddie | I'm assuming that everyone is pressing on with the T-shirt printing now. | 19:11 |
dboddie_office | Any news about sponsors (people/companies)? | 19:12 |
jacob22 | dboddie_office: We have Canonical as sponsors. | 19:13 |
dboddie_office | jacob22: Cool. That's good to know. | 19:13 |
pboddie | jacob22: Great! If there's a banner image, point me to it! | 19:13 |
jacob22 | pboddie: I will send it to you after the meeting. | 19:14 |
jacob22 | I don't know if Infrae were on board last meeting. They are now. | 19:14 |
pboddie | Their logo is a banner, too. I noticed that the PSF are a sponsor also. | 19:15 |
lac_ | ditto with the PSF though we have yet to see their deposit. | 19:15 |
jacob22 | I am not on top of the PSF sonsorship. I don't have the contact and I haven't made them an invoice. Who is doing this? | 19:16 |
lac_ | I was the one that talked with them, but I haven't sent them an invoice either. Raymond Hettinger told me that at their last board meeting they decided that they wanted to give us a silver sponsorship | 19:17 |
jacob22 | This seems a little on the loose side. Is Raymond the formal PSF contact? | 19:18 |
lac_ | If you have an invoice set up, sending it to psf at python dot org | 19:18 |
lac_ | they are always on the loose side and everybody does the talking | 19:18 |
lac_ | I send things to psf at python dor org and take responses from all over. | 19:19 |
jacob22 | That is horrible. Ok, I'll make out an invoice. | 19:19 |
lac_ | It is horrible, but telling them that they could be more orderly seems not the best path to sponsorship. | 19:20 |
pboddie | I uploaded your template to the Wiki, by the way, but it's "private" right now. | 19:20 |
lac_ | if you cc me on what you send them, then I can continute to do the talking, if you like. Or you can take over. | 19:21 |
pboddie | Apart from that, there's been a reminder to register blogged, and I guess we're just waiting for people to submit any late talks and to register themselves. | 19:24 |
dboddie_office | Do we know what will need to be done immediately before the conference? | 19:25 |
lac_ | I have aiste on the phone now. what questions for her? she is at a competition, no computers | 19:25 |
dboddie_office | Payment of hotel | 19:26 |
dboddie_office | And if she needs volunteers for stuff before the event. | 19:27 |
jacob22 | There is a bunch of things to do just before the conference. Print and cut out badges. Stuff tote-abgs. Pick up and sort T-shirts by size. Set up the reception. Prepare the wifi network. Check the rooms. Get the sponsor banners in place... | 19:27 |
lac_ | Aiste is gone now. she is competing at a horse event for the next 3 days, and all today too. | 19:28 |
dboddie_office | Just looking at the logs for last week, the only questions I have are about the status of printing things. | 19:29 |
pboddie | Well, I guess we'll be around before the conference in case volunteers are needed. | 19:29 |
dboddie_office | jacob22: I'm assuming the T-shirts will be ready by then. :-) | 19:31 |
dboddie_office | ...and the tote bags, but are those being printed on as well? | 19:32 |
jacob22 | dboddie_office: Not much we can do if they aren't. | 19:32 |
dboddie_office | Well, there's an open space activity. :-) | 19:32 |
jacob22 | dboddie_office: I though John already had done the tote-bags. | 19:32 |
dboddie_office | The timetable page looks really good, by the way. | 19:35 |
dboddie_office | I'm guessing that Opera didn't come through in the sponsorship department, or did they do something a bit different to the others? | 19:36 |
jacob22 | dboddie_office: They never contacted me at all. | 19:37 |
dboddie_office | jacob22: And I forgot to chase them up. Sorry about that. | 19:40 |
jacob22 | dboddie_office: Not a problem. We'll get started earlier next year. | 19:41 |
dboddie_office | I imagine that we would have heard something if they had wanted more information. I guess we'll find out at the conference. | 19:41 |
*** pedronis has quit IRC | 19:42 | |
pboddie | I guess there isn't much more to discuss. | 19:46 |
dboddie_office | I'll hang around, anyway. You never know who'll turn up. | 19:51 |
jacob22 | PSF invoice has been sent. | 19:52 |
dboddie_office | Thanks. Are there any other pending financial things to do, apart from paying the venue? | 19:54 |
* pboddie is leaving. | 20:02 | |
pboddie | See you all later! Have a good weekend kayaking! | 20:02 |
jacob22 | dboddie_office: Only small bits. I'm awaiting a PO from Sun before I can invoice them. There are still payments dropping in that need registering. I assume there are other small things to purchase. | 20:03 |
*** pboddie has quit IRC | 20:03 | |
dboddie_office | OK. | 20:04 |
* dboddie_office is leaving shortly. | 20:22 | |
dboddie_office | Do any (either) of you have anything else to discuss? | 20:22 |
MrTopf | Oh, hi :) | 20:32 |
MrTopf | I should set my alarm .. ;) | 20:32 |
MrTopf | how many people are registered so far btw? | 20:35 |
dboddie_office | MrTopf: I don't know the latest figure. | 20:42 |
MrTopf | I am just wondering if I will feel alone or not ;-) | 20:43 |
dboddie_office | Two weeks ago, it was 158. | 20:43 |
MrTopf | ok, not too alone :) | 20:43 |
MrTopf | I will also blog about it later again to ask people to sign up | 20:43 |
dboddie_office | Too many for another surprise restaurant visit. | 20:44 |
MrTopf | yeah, maybe there should be some plan for the first evening :) | 20:44 |
dboddie_office | "Same procedure as last year, everyone!" | 20:44 |
MrTopf | as for video btw. I so far had no reaction to my question | 20:45 |
dboddie_office | Hmm. :-( | 20:45 |
MrTopf | so I assume I will do one room or one stream at least (and change rooms) | 20:45 |
dboddie_office | It's easier to do audio, so maybe people will try that. | 20:45 |
jacob22 | MrTopf: Laura said something about 210 yesterday. | 20:51 |
MrTopf | Hm, not sure. you still need a computer and equipment | 20:51 |
MrTopf | ah, thanks | 20:51 |
MrTopf | how does that number actually compare to the last years? | 20:52 |
jacob22 | I think the total tally for last year was 215, including on-site registration. | 20:53 |
jacob22 | MrTopf: Our prognosis is for a total of 240 this year. | 20:54 |
*** pedronis has joined #europython | 20:59 | |
mgedmin | wasn't it 225 last year? | 21:01 |
MrTopf | if it's more this year then it's good :) | 21:10 |
LarstiQ | moin | 21:20 |
LarstiQ | dboddie_office: does it hurt to try and contact Opera once more, asking if they're still interested? | 21:23 |
dboddie_office | I guess I could try getting hold of one of the attendees. | 21:31 |
dboddie_office | Maybe they'll want to do something informal. | 21:31 |
* LarstiQ nods | 21:38 | |
* dboddie_office wonders if there are any distutils experts present. | 21:46 | |
LarstiQ | not an expert by far, but shoot :) | 21:46 |
dboddie_office | Do you know how to change the build command so that it does some extra work. | 21:48 |
dboddie_office | ? | 21:48 |
* mgedmin assumes the answer is "painfully" | 21:48 | |
LarstiQ | dboddie_office: 'cmdclass': {'build': custom_build} ? | 21:49 |
LarstiQ | dboddie_office: for example, with from Pyrex.Distutils import build_ext in the build_ext case | 21:50 |
dboddie_office | LarstiQ: I created a subclass of build_py, but it seems that calling the base class's __init__ method is a bad idea (infinite recursion). | 21:51 |
dboddie_office | LarstiQ: But maybe Pyrex is a good example to look at. | 21:51 |
dboddie_office | LarstiQ: Thanks. It looks scary, but maybe I can find a way to defeat it. :-) | 21:53 |
LarstiQ | dboddie_office: good luck :) | 21:54 |
dboddie_office | Ugh, this is going to take some time. | 22:18 |
* dboddie_office rolls his sleeves up... | 22:18 | |
