qwright | hello!! | 20:01 |
Jonathan_Hartley | hey everyone | 20:01 |
pinner | Hello Tartley | 20:01 |
qwright | Hi Jonathan | 20:01 |
zeth | Good Evening Everyone | 20:02 |
pinner | Shock! | 20:02 |
qwright | Hi Zeth - good to see that you could make it | 20:02 |
pinner | Hello Zeth! | 20:02 |
fuzzyman | Here - hello everyone | 20:02 |
fuzzyman | Hi Zeth | 20:02 |
* ThomasWaldmann notices intelligent life in the channel :) | 20:03 | |
pinner | hello Michael | 20:03 |
qwright | Hi Michael | 20:03 |
ThomasWaldmann | moin * | 20:03 |
pinner | Hello Thomas, thanks for setting up the new moin | 20:03 |
ThomasWaldmann | no problem :) | 20:04 |
pinner | ThomasWaldmann: Any news from TheSheep on the Python.org wiki theme? | 20:05 |
ThomasWaldmann | no | 20:05 |
fuzzyman | There were questions asked on the pydotorg mailing list and it was explicitly said that it was ok to use it | 20:06 |
fuzzyman | Tim Parkin was asking - although about another project I believe | 20:06 |
zeth | they will what for a year and a half and then make a fuss ;) | 20:06 |
zeth | wait | 20:06 |
xorAxAx | pinner: do you plan to theme the ep wiki with it? | 20:07 |
*** nickbooker has joined #europython | 20:07 | |
pinner | fuzzyman: Yes it was all cleared weeks ago. TheSheep ww | 20:07 |
zeth | (bad joke for people not in UK) | 20:07 |
pinner | sorry: TheSheep was going to look at actually implementing the wiki theme. | 20:07 |
pinner | OK, we've waited 10 minutes, so let's start. I've not received any apologies. | 20:08 |
pinner | xorAxAx: yes | 20:09 |
pinner | xorAxAx: sorry, who are you? | 20:09 |
*** TheSheep has joined #europython | 20:10 | |
TheSheep | moin | 20:10 |
pinner | If there are no more apologies, let's look at the last meeting actions | 20:10 |
ThomasWaldmann | hi TheSheep | 20:10 |
pinner | Hello Radomir | 20:10 |
pinner | I mailed previous EP and PyConUK speakers and some interest has been generated | 20:11 |
fuzzyman | cool | 20:11 |
pinner | fuzzyman: what were the results of your actions? | 20:11 |
fuzzyman | I got a news posting on Python.org | 20:11 |
fuzzyman | I have permission to post an entry on the PyCon blog | 20:12 |
pinner | good | 20:12 |
pinner | better still | 20:12 |
fuzzyman | I posted my intended wording to the mailing list | 20:12 |
fuzzyman | if I get no objections I'll post it as is | 20:12 |
fuzzyman | oh, and Jim Hugunin agreed to do a keynote | 20:12 |
pinner | fuzzyman: yes I just read it, I'd like to play down the PyCon UK bit though | 20:12 |
zeth | I missed the last meeting and was probably assigned some actions. If so I did not do them, but please remind me and I do them today. | 20:12 |
fuzzyman | pinner: ok | 20:12 |
zeth | fuzzyman: Well done on the keynotes. | 20:13 |
pinner | fuzzyman: great news on Jim, and I believe it's now confirmed? | 20:13 |
fuzzyman | pinner: yes - he has confirmed | 20:13 |
pinner | I've had confirmation that Prof Sir Tony Hoare is doing a keynote as well | 20:13 |
pinner | And fuzzyman had earlier confirmation from Cory Doctorow I believe | 20:14 |
pinner | So that's 3 confirmed keynotes. | 20:14 |
Jonathan_Hartley | fuzzyman: remind me for future scheduling's sake, what day did Cory say was the only day he could make it? | 20:15 |
pinner | I spoken to Guido and he's not keen on repeating the stress of a VC keynote or talk | 20:15 |
fuzzyman | first day I believe | 20:15 |
fuzzyman | I'll need to check | 20:15 |
Jonathan_Hartley | thx | 20:15 |
qwright | fuzzyman: only comment about the intended wording is that the tutorial dates could be identified | 20:16 |
pinner | but I dare say he might agree to a 5 minute Skype 'Hi, sorry I can't come, have a good conference' | 20:16 |
zeth | What a fantastic set of keynotes we have. | 20:16 |
fuzzyman | Cory said he could speak on the 30th | 20:17 |
fuzzyman | qwright: ok | 20:17 |
fuzzyman | I'll update my wording and re-email | 20:17 |
pinner | Steve Holden is trying to get funding from the PSF to come and give a keynote/talk evangelising the PSF, he'd make a good after-dinner speaker as well I guess | 20:17 |
pinner | So Keynotes are well in hand and I don't think we need any more action there for now | 20:17 |
pinner | Just use them in the publicity. | 20:18 |
zeth | Yes, once we find out about Holden, I think someone should draft an annoucement to go out to the lists again. | 20:18 |
pinner | The other action oustanding is europython.org domain: there's been no action and we need mal for that | 20:19 |
pinner | zeth: we don't need to wait for Steve's decision, what we have already is hot. | 20:19 |
zeth | Well, I think we don't need to play our hand until booking is open. | 20:20 |
zeth | But then use our keynotes in the announcement of booking opening | 20:20 |
fuzzyman | shame about europython.org - | 20:20 |
pinner | zeth: good thinking, agreed | 20:20 |
fuzzyman | don't know if there is any point in going into it here | 20:20 |
fuzzyman | we could apply for a trademark... :-) | 20:20 |
zeth | well it works enough with redirect to .eu | 20:20 |
fuzzyman | oh | 20:21 |
fuzzyman | we have a redirect in place | 20:21 |
fuzzyman | that's new - and is good | 20:21 |
Jonathan_Hartley | i didn't know that either. cool. it works too! | 20:21 |
zeth | Not so new, but .eu is already the top in google | 20:21 |
pinner | zeth: but bthat server is going, and the mx record doesn't go to anywhere sensible or controllable | 20:21 |
zeth | ah yes, that is true | 20:21 |
*** mgedmin has quit IRC | 20:22 | |
zeth | that is a problem | 20:22 |
pinner | zeth: so I will chase that up with mal, who had talked with Herr Reulbach about it. | 20:22 |
ThomasWaldmann | btw, I have a question / remark about hotel room booking (but don't let me disturb your agenda :) | 20:22 |
pinner | OK, let's move onto the wiki | 20:22 |
zeth | Google, MSN and Yahoo have .eu at the top of results for Europython | 20:23 |
zeth | So it would not be the end of the world | 20:23 |
pinner | TheSheep: I think Thomas dropped the python.org theme on you, have you managed to look at it? | 20:23 |
ThomasWaldmann | btw, I can help you a bit getting a better pagerank :) I'll could just list your wiki on moinmo.in main page. :) | 20:25 |
pinner | ThomasWaldmann: yes, please! | 20:25 |
pinner | zeth: you and pboddie were delegated to update the wiki from last year's Ep and PyCon UK wikis as appropriate. Has anything happened? | 20:26 |
zeth | ah that was it | 20:26 |
zeth | sorry no, I look at it over a beer tonight | 20:26 |
qwright | Jonathan has put up a VolunteersByActivity I guess we should add some activities and add ourselves? | 20:27 |
zeth | (Mon-Tue is my main work days at Uni, so I am allowed a beer on Tuesday ;) | 20:27 |
pinner | Jonathan_Hartley: thanks for your copious input. Don't appreciate the BDIP though ;-) | 20:27 |
Jonathan_Hartley | Ha.Sorry. Fuzzy made me do that. The page is speculative - I intended to announce it ans see if people think it's a useful idea | 20:27 |
pinner | zeth: is there any work at Uni on any day. Just joking. | 20:27 |
qwright | Maybe just BD? | 20:27 |
zeth | pinner: ;) | 20:27 |
fuzzyman | We've just an email apology by email from Ciaran | 20:28 |
Jonathan_Hartley | qwright: ok, can do. | 20:28 |
fuzzyman | email by email no less | 20:28 |
zeth | email that Ciaran can't come to this meeting or the conference? | 20:28 |
pinner | qwright: like this! | 20:29 |
fuzzyman | this meeting | 20:29 |
fuzzyman | I suggested malevolent dictator | 20:29 |
qwright | Jonathan_Hartley: No Jonathan you don't need to add stuff - the rest of us have to do it!! | 20:29 |
pinner | fuzzyman: I could role play | 20:29 |
fuzzyman | :-) | 20:29 |
zeth | pinner in a nurses outfit is too much for the europeans I think | 20:30 |
zeth | or not that kind of role-play ;) | 20:30 |
Jonathan_Hartley | is this on the agenda? | 20:30 |
Jonathan_Hartley | :-) | 20:30 |
pinner | So let's be clear: Zeth will update local-specific stuff on the wiki and we'll ask pboddie to do the same for EP-specific stuff before the next meeting? | 20:30 |
ThomasWaldmann | [[http://wiki.europython2009.eu/|EuroPython Wiki]] OK? | 20:30 |
*** jacob22 has joined #europython | 20:31 | |
zeth | ThomasWaldmann: lovely | 20:31 |
pinner | ThomasWaldmann: wiki.europython.eu might be better | 20:31 |
ThomasWaldmann | ok | 20:32 |
pinner | And the rest of us can update stuff as needed, OK | 20:32 |
zeth | Can the bottom bar with "More actions" and so on be white? | 20:32 |
qwright | Hi Jacob! | 20:32 |
jacob22 | qwright: Hi! | 20:32 |
pinner | zeth: you need to ask TheSheep | 20:32 |
pinner | jacob22: Hello! Happy New Year! How are you? | 20:33 |
zeth | no big deal, but the bottom blue seems a little distracting on short pages. However, life is too short probably. | 20:33 |
jacob22 | pinner: Happy New year. I'm ok, though very much out of sync. Just woke up. | 20:33 |
qwright | zeth: I like the light blue!! | 20:33 |
pinner | jacob22: understood | 20:34 |
fuzzyman | light blue looks fine to me | 20:34 |
zeth | fine fine | 20:34 |
pinner | zeth: you should look at wiki.python.org to see the style proposed. | 20:34 |
ThomasWaldmann | btw, the wiki should get a link from the ep.eu main page | 20:34 |
pinner | ThomasWaldmann: we were waiting for the styling before putting in the link, so it would help if we knew when/if we'd get it. | 20:35 |
zeth | pinner: are you tracking stats for europython website? If so then it would be good to look at the most important incoming links to see that they are .eu not .org | 20:36 |
pinner | OK, so with the the exception of the styling, we've finished with the wiki for tonight, OK? | 20:36 |
qwright | Nick and/or I can put the link in | 20:36 |
pinner | zeth: no, not yet | 20:36 |
pinner | Next Item: Talks | 20:36 |
zeth | fair enough | 20:36 |
pinner | The submissions system is running and I think we have about three talks | 20:37 |
ThomasWaldmann | (btw, the wordpress blog could use zine now :) | 20:37 |
pinner | even though two of them are from fuzzyman ;-) | 20:37 |
fuzzyman | ha | 20:38 |
fuzzyman | one is a tutorial | 20:38 |
fuzzyman | I've been poking a few people | 20:38 |
fuzzyman | obviously none of them have actually done anything yet | 20:38 |
pinner | ThomasWaldmann: translation please, I know nothing about wordpress | 20:38 |
fuzzyman | Tartley said he would submit his soon | 20:38 |
fuzzyman | Zine is a wonderful new Python blog | 20:38 |
Jonathan_Hartley | fuzzyman: thx, you're awesome. :-) | 20:39 |
fuzzyman | You can read about Zine here | 20:39 |
fuzzyman | http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2009_01_03.shtml#e1046 | 20:39 |
fuzzyman | :-) | 20:39 |
zeth | If we are plugging Python blog software: https://launchpad.net/soturi | 20:40 |
fuzzyman | it really is very nice and we could import old entries - but I suspect it isn't a high priority to switch | 20:40 |
pinner | ThomasWaldmann: so you're suggesting we change to xine, keeping it all Python? I'm all for that if it's at least as good | 20:40 |
zeth | My blog software could import the old entries also, however I think we are probably good to carry on as we are | 20:41 |
ThomasWaldmann | pinner: i never used it. it is quite new, but the biggest bugs are out I guess. | 20:41 |
xorAxAx | pinner: some moin author, person with pydotorg access and some ideas about their code ... and the last time i looked into the code, it required a lot of code modifications in the main parts | 20:41 |
fuzzyman | if Zeth is maintaing the site infrastructure he probably gets to choose | 20:41 |
ThomasWaldmann | would leave a better impression of the python web stuff when the blog is not in php. :) | 20:41 |
zeth | well obviously I could set up my blog in about 10 secs, but the blogger writers have to have a say | 20:41 |
zeth | since they are writing the blog entries | 20:41 |
pinner | will someone take ownership of the blog? zeth? thomas? | 20:42 |
fuzzyman | zeth: can you import all the old entries and retain their URLs? | 20:42 |
zeth | I can if you want | 20:42 |
zeth | yeah sure | 20:42 |
xorAxAx | pinner: i.e. the pydotorg theme is not really modular | 20:42 |
* ThomasWaldmann has no clue about blogs :) | 20:42 | |
fuzzyman | cool | 20:42 |
*** MrTopf has quit IRC | 20:42 | |
zeth | it is just light layer on django | 20:42 |
xorAxAx | but i have to go now :) | 20:42 |
zeth | I can do anything you want | 20:42 |
*** moreati has joined #europython | 20:42 | |
zeth | (in the context of blogs) | 20:42 |
qwright | zeth: well done ... zine seems to be a good thing | 20:42 |
pinner | xorAxAx: OK, thanks for your input. | 20:42 |
qwright | moreati: Hi Alex | 20:42 |
pinner | Hello Alex! Just in time for the stuff you're supposed to do ;-) | 20:43 |
moreati | evening all | 20:43 |
zeth | So is the plan that I am setting up a new Python based blog and importing the old entries? | 20:43 |
Jonathan_Hartley | is zine a lot of work to import posts? sounds a little make-work unless the existing blog has functional shortcomings. PHP is implementation detail, surely? | 20:43 |
pinner | moreati: you may wish you hadn't come... | 20:43 |
pinner | zeth: yes | 20:43 |
ThomasWaldmann | zeth: zine is also wsgi stuff, so it can run under mod_wsgi also | 20:44 |
zeth | If I am setting it up then I will use Soturi, my own blog software, since that will integrate with what we already have. | 20:44 |
pinner | zeth: thanks for volunteering ;-) | 20:44 |
ThomasWaldmann | i guess everything is better (code) than wp ;) | 20:44 |
qwright | we should be using zine because it's written in python | 20:44 |
zeth | People can use the same account they use for talk approvals for the blog | 20:45 |
zeth | qwright: soturi is python also | 20:45 |
pinner | jonathan_hartley: we're Python people, so we should be show-casing Python where possible and practical | 20:45 |
Jonathan_Hartley | um? we don't drive cars based on whether they run python in the electronics. is a questiojn of where you draw the line. Still, I'm not the one making the change... :-) | 20:45 |
pinner | OK, let's wrap up Talks, from which we've digressed! | 20:45 |
pinner | Talks - we all need to recruit speakers, let's review what we have at the next meeting, OK? | 20:46 |
fuzzyman | os there anything specific needing doing for recruitment - or just publicity in general? | 20:47 |
pinner | We've already covered Keynotes earlier | 20:47 |
pinner | fuzzyman: you mean recruiting speakers? I think we all need to contact our own acquaintances personally apart from the general publicity | 20:48 |
fuzzyman | ok | 20:48 |
pinner | Next Item: Sprints | 20:48 |
zeth | On the topic of talks submissions, can anyone who does not currently have an admin login, and who wants one, email me or message me on IRC. Cheers. | 20:48 |
pinner | I don't think we have much progress here | 20:49 |
pinner | jacob22: Samuele said there'd be a PyPy sprint, is that confirmed? | 20:49 |
pinner | I will ask Jacob Kaplan-Moss if he's up for a Django sprint. | 20:50 |
pinner | I think we just need to make sure that every one knows that we have sprint space available, if required | 20:51 |
fuzzyman | has anyone here been involved in organising EuroPython sprints before? | 20:51 |
jacob22 | pinner: Not yet, but we can assume there will be one. I think the whole gang of pypyers will be coming. | 20:51 |
pinner | jacob22: great news! How many days would they want to sprint for? We need to arrange rooms. | 20:52 |
pinner | fuzzyman: jacob22 has, many times. | 20:52 |
fuzzyman | cool | 20:52 |
Jonathan_Hartley | zeth, are you the olo gy at gee mail? | 20:53 |
fuzzyman | he can help check we don't miss anything we should be doing :-) | 20:53 |
zeth | It would be very good if we could nail down a couple of sprints before booking opens, then people book accomodatin correctly. | 20:53 |
zeth | Jonathan_Hartley: Yarb. | 20:53 |
pinner | OK, so sprints are happening, albeit slowly. | 20:53 |
fuzzyman | and if we include accomodation in the booking system, include the sprint dates on the booking form | 20:54 |
zeth | yep | 20:54 |
ThomasWaldmann | (just a short note about the hotel room tariff stuff: if someone makes a deal with the conf hotel for the participants, make sure you get some 'best price guarantee'. in vilnius they had some 'cheap early bird rate' for participants and later it got even cheaper - that's a bit annoying if you have already booked.) | 20:54 |
zeth | having some sprints already will make people more confident in booking | 20:54 |
jacob22 | pinner: At least 3 days, maybe 5, but not more than that. | 20:54 |
pinner | fuzzyman: good idea | 20:54 |
*** ghum has joined #europython | 20:55 | |
* ThomasWaldmann has to leave now. brb in 15mins. | 20:55 | |
zeth | ThomasWaldmann: We don't have any special rates I think. | 20:55 |
pinner | ThomasWaldman: noted. Thanks for coming | 20:55 |
zeth | Cheap hotels don't do such deals, very expensive hotels are still somewhat expensive after a deal. | 20:55 |
fuzzyman | I have to go in 5 I'm afraid | 20:55 |
pinner | Hello Harald! We'll be finishing soon ;-) | 20:55 |
pinner | Next Item is Publicity | 20:56 |
pinner | I think it's happening reasonable OK, but we need more on python.org | 20:56 |
ghum | Oh, sorry :( | 20:56 |
ghum | hello 2 all of you, anyway :) | 20:57 |
fuzzyman | pinner: more on python.org? | 20:57 |
zeth | Python.org went up today I think | 20:58 |
pinner | fuzzyman: unless it's changed very recently the whole pycon bit is really out-of-date | 20:58 |
zeth | today | 20:58 |
zeth | it changed today | 20:58 |
zeth | http://python.org/ | 20:58 |
fuzzyman | John - do you mean on the wiki somewhere? | 20:59 |
pinner | zeth: it' still wrong, maybe we should rewrite it | 20:59 |
fuzzyman | This page still points to the .org domain | 20:59 |
fuzzyman | http://www.python.org/community/workshops/ | 20:59 |
pinner | fuzzyman: sorry, I mean pycon.org | 20:59 |
fuzzyman | pycon.org | 20:59 |
fuzzyman | oops | 20:59 |
qwright | I noticed someone has made a posting on python-nl. Are there any other Eu country-specific lists where postings should/could be made? | 21:00 |
fuzzyman | I meant that for the browser | 21:00 |
pinner | yes, they should be asked to point to europython.eu | 21:00 |
pinner | qwright: every country with a python list | 21:00 |
pinner | but that is up to individuals | 21:01 |
qwright | Afpy also | 21:01 |
fuzzyman | pycon.org looks ok | 21:01 |
fuzzyman | it is just a list of links and links to the right domain | 21:01 |
pinner | fuzzyman: OK, I misread a bit, sorry. | 21:02 |
zeth | [[[Correction from earlier: "18:44 < fuzzyman> zeth: can you import all the old entries and retain their URLs?" Yes to first half - importing old entries, possibly no to second - retain URLs. It is currently hosted using a wordpress domain. I do not know what the redirection possibilities are.]]] | 21:02 |
fuzzyman | zeth: ah - didn't appreciate that. In which case maybe just a new entry pointing people to the new location | 21:03 |
fuzzyman | not sure it is even worth importing the old entries if they will still stay up | 21:03 |
zeth | Yeah, I explore it, there might be a feature in wordpress | 21:03 |
fuzzyman | I thought putting the new one up meant taking the old one down | 21:03 |
zeth | I think I have seen some kind of redirect before | 21:04 |
fuzzyman | I have to go now I'm afraid | 21:04 |
pinner | So let's move on from Publicity, difficult to go further because our publicity man is not here: maybe he is a new dad | 21:04 |
zeth | on wordpress blogs on wordpress.com | 21:04 |
zeth | have a good night fuzzyman | 21:04 |
* pinner gestures goodnight to fuzzyman | 21:04 | |
qwright | bye Michael!! | 21:04 |
pinner | Next Item: Sponsorship | 21:05 |
zeth | Not sure if he has a baby or not in his house, he didn't use easy_install did he? | 21:05 |
pinner | Any progress here? | 21:05 |
jacob22 | I'm afraid I haven't done anything over the holidays. | 21:05 |
qwright | Limited progress on brochure - hope to get something out this week | 21:05 |
pinner | zeth: is that why you haven't reproduced yet, wrong distutils? | 21:06 |
qwright | Could do with some new photos of Brum if the sun shines | 21:06 |
zeth | pinner well if I get my house sorted with zc.buildout, we see then ;) | 21:06 |
qwright | John has suggested Gail and Ted Leung have some images | 21:07 |
zeth | There are probably some freely licenced photos on flickr of birmingham also | 21:07 |
pinner | zeth: make is the best tool by far | 21:07 |
zeth | lol | 21:07 |
jacob22 | qwright: One thing we should put explicitly in the conditions is that we do not accept payment by cheque. They are a huge bother to cash in Swedish banks. | 21:07 |
zeth | automake? | 21:07 |
pinner | zeth: no, as in make love | 21:07 |
zeth | make: *** No rule to make target `love'. Stop. | 21:08 |
zeth | ;) | 21:08 |
zeth | she is obviously in out, or in a different directory ;) | 21:08 |
qwright | jacob22: point taken - we are thinking of having a UK bank account? | 21:08 |
pinner | jacob22: I made a proposal to run this in sterling to avoid all the bank charges, we have a suitable account and balance up afterwards with the Swedish account, so we only gte charged once | 21:08 |
zeth | did we ever accepted cheques in the UK before? | 21:09 |
jacob22 | qwright: I will also put together a list of everyone I contacted last year and send to you. | 21:09 |
pinner | zeth: yes, but most pay by transfer | 21:09 |
zeth | yeah currency charge euro > Crown > pound | 21:09 |
jacob22 | pinner: That is great. Saves a roundtrip on the money. | 21:09 |
zeth | oh year I remember the cheques now | 21:09 |
qwright | jacob22: that would be great - thanks!! e | 21:09 |
pinner | OK, if q and jacob22 and martin finish the brochure by the next meeting we'll be ready to issue it. | 21:10 |
qwright | I'd hope to get a draft to jacob and martin by the weekend | 21:11 |
jacob22 | Another thing to note is that we should have attractive offers for the small companies. I made a fair bit of negotiation outside of what the brochure offered last year. | 21:11 |
pinner | meantime we can make contacts. I'll try Alison Cutler at Google, unless jacob22 has a better contact. | 21:11 |
pinner | Also, I'll contact Sun | 21:12 |
qwright | jacob22: I think that's a good idea .. | 21:12 |
jacob22 | pinner: I'll look up the names of our contacts at Sun and Goggle. | 21:13 |
pinner | Right. We have some AOB. Specifically there have been enquiries about Accommodation | 21:13 |
pinner | moreati: how is the accommodation updating going? | 21:13 |
moreati | I've not done anything since the last technical meeting | 21:14 |
qwright | We had talked about a deal with someone other than the etap? | 21:14 |
pinner | qwright: yes, I'd like to try the Premier Inn and the Travelodge for the cheaper option. See if we can do a deal. | 21:15 |
pinner | moreati: are you up for a visit to hotels? | 21:15 |
moreati | I'm working in the city centre now, so yes. | 21:15 |
zeth | In PyConUK, we tried to have shepherds helping people get from the hotel to the venue on the first day. Should we do that for Europython? | 21:15 |
pinner | moreati: Oh good! | 21:16 |
pinner | zeth: plenty of time for that, we need the hotels first! | 21:16 |
qwright | moreati: Excellent - looks like a few lunch-time strolls out! | 21:16 |
zeth | are those other hotels on broad street? | 21:17 |
pinner | so moreati and maybe q and I will talk about this outside the meeting: we need a decision soon though | 21:17 |
moreati | pinner: ok | 21:17 |
pinner | zeth: Travelodge on Broad Street, Premier Inn Wharf Street down from the Hyatt | 21:17 |
qwright | Any other AOB? | 21:17 |
ThomasWaldmann | btw, it would be great if there would be always enough water around (drinkable one I mean :), that was a bit a problem in vilnius | 21:17 |
zeth | Birmingham water comes down an aquaduct from welsh valleys | 21:18 |
zeth | it is very drinkable | 21:18 |
qwright | I thought it came out of the sky | 21:18 |
pinner | ThomasWaldman: OK, noted. We have water in Birmingham. | 21:18 |
moreati | ThomasWaldmann: our water is very clean, it's been through plenty of kidneys | 21:19 |
ThomasWaldmann | hehe | 21:19 |
qwright | several times | 21:19 |
moreati | Was Holiday Inn on Smallbrook Queensway abandoned as the conference hotel? | 21:19 |
pinner | we will filter it from the canals if need be, otherwise it will have to be Wales. | 21:20 |
Jonathan_Hartley | I wondered about the blog | 21:20 |
zeth | The Broad Street one would be good as it is short and pretty walk to the venue | 21:20 |
Jonathan_Hartley | whether it should have a contact link for 3rd parties submitting or proposing | 21:20 |
Jonathan_Hartley | news items to post | 21:20 |
pinner | moreati: probably, too expensive in the week, but we will check | 21:20 |
zeth | Jonathan_Hartley: good idea | 21:20 |
pinner | Jonathan_Hartley: speak to the 'volunteer', ie zeth! | 21:21 |
pinner | OK, is there anything else? | 21:21 |
qwright | zeth: well volunteered | 21:21 |
pinner | If not, let's close the meeting | 21:21 |
zeth | Yeah no problem. Online forms are one of my favourite pasttimes. | 21:21 |
qwright | Next Meeting 1800 GMT Tuesday 27th Jan | 21:22 |
pinner | +1 | 21:22 |
Jonathan_Hartley | cool. have a good night, everyonw | 21:22 |
