| pinner | TOPIC Review Actions from Last Meeting | 19:08 |
| pinner | most itesm not done, or at least not complete, I believe | 19:09 |
| fuzzyman | item list? | 19:09 |
| tartley | - Session Team page updated ? | 19:09 |
| tartley | - Tutors mailed with tutorial requirements ? | 19:09 |
| tartley | - Session captain ? | 19:09 |
| tartley | - Publicise to The Register and LUGS? | 19:09 |
| pinner | zeth: did you publicise to theregister and LUGS? | 19:09 |
| zeth | Ah, I did not know I had to | 19:10 |
| zeth | I will do | 19:10 |
| zeth | I have access to both | 19:10 |
| pinner | I and Richard Talylow keep crossing regarding Session Captain | 19:10 |
| zeth | Sorry for last time, I got stuck with the damp surveyor | 19:10 |
| pinner | moreati hadn't updates the SessionTeam page earlier | 19:11 |
| pinner | tartley: you've been preparing soemthing for the tutors I believe? | 19:11 |
| tartley | I made a belated start today. I sent a draft to the ep-talks list for feedback a little few minutes ago, but don't see it yet... | 19:11 |
| tartley | my outstanding questions are | 19:11 |
| qwright | tartley: I see it | 19:11 |
| tartley | - where should they send their handouts? Is uploading them to the wiki page best? | 19:11 |
| tartley | http://wiki.europython.eu/TalkMaterials | 19:11 |
| tartley | qwright: good, thanks. | 19:12 |
| tartley | also, what do we need them to do in order to pay them? Do they need to invoice us? | 19:12 |
| pinner | tartley: create a (orphan) wiki page for them to upload to | 19:13 |
| tartley | That's a reasonable idea. Fair enough. Will do. | 19:13 |
| pinner | regarding format, we want something we can print reliably, which usually means pdf | 19:13 |
| tartley | alright | 19:14 |
| tartley | and if the payment question is not clear to somebody, then can that info wait for a later email? | 19:14 |
| pinner | they will need to invoice us, but not until we know how many students they have | 19:14 |
| tartley | or is it clear to somebody? | 19:14 |
| tartley | ah! | 19:14 |
| tartley | quite. | 19:14 |
| pinner | so no invoice until after the tutorials | 19:14 |
| tartley | OK then. I'll just mention that to assure them it is in hand, and no invoices until later. Right. | 19:14 |
| tartley | thanks | 19:15 |
| pinner | as far as the other things are concerned: | 19:15 |
| tartley | Sorry to be so sluggish on it. I'll get this finished after this meet. | 19:15 |
| pinner | ACTION zeth, publicity register and LUGS | 19:15 |
| pinner | ACTION pinner session captain | 19:15 |
| pinner | ACTION moreati SessionTeam page, now urgent | 19:16 |
| pinner | TOPIC Registration | 19:16 |
| pinner | 256 real registrations to date + 9 duplicates (Tutorials, extra hotel rooms) = 265 in report | 19:17 |
| pinner | report is on wiki Organisers as usual | 19:17 |
| pinner | Main problem at moment is with the illustrious Visa Section at the British Embassy in Kiev | 19:17 |
| pboddie | 365 total, surely. | 19:17 |
| pinner | pboddie: yes, of course | 19:18 |
| *** mdirolf_ has joined #europython | 19:18 | |
| tartley | correction? Is that 356 true total (not 256) | 19:18 |
| pinner | I'm persevering with the visas, but frankly there's not much hope, so that will be 6 fewer delegates | 19:18 |
| fuzzyman | that's a real shame | 19:18 |
| pinner | yes, yes 356. Sorry, it's been a long day... | 19:19 |
| fuzzyman | *phew* | 19:19 |
| fuzzyman | that's a lot better | 19:19 |
| zeth | Yeah shame about Ukraine | 19:19 |
| zeth | maybe we hold Europython there one day | 19:19 |
| dboddie_office | What's the problem in Kiev? | 19:19 |
| zeth | they can't get in UK | 19:20 |
| fuzzyman | got to be better than Birmingham ;-) | 19:20 |
| pinner | zeth: more than the shame, we have sloppy civil servants | 19:20 |
| fuzzyman | :-) | 19:20 |
| zeth | fuzzyman: bad fuzzywuzzy | 19:20 |
| pinner | or Northampton ;-) | 19:20 |
| dboddie_office | zeth: They're already in the UK... (not GB) | 19:20 |
| zeth | fuzzyman: Bad civil servants are not in birmingham | 19:20 |
| fuzzyman | first year I can go to EuroPython and we have it in flipping Birmingham | 19:20 |
| zeth | dboddie_office: ;) | 19:20 |
| fuzzyman | sorry for the distraction | 19:21 |
| pinner | fuzzyman: there's always next year ;-) I mean the year after | 19:21 |
| *** mdirolf_ has left #europython | 19:21 | |
| fuzzyman | hehe | 19:21 |
| pinner | TOPIC Tutorials | 19:21 |
| zeth | I have not readded the booking system for tutorials I will do ASAP | 19:21 |
| pinner | zeth: how is the booking system? we need it for room allocations, badly | 19:21 |
| zeth | yes okay I will have a go tonight if I am allowed | 19:21 |
| pinner | zeth: you had last night, the gaffer was out ;-) | 19:22 |
| zeth | I know would of been ideal | 19:22 |
| zeth | I did get loads of my work done though | 19:22 |
| zeth | get them to go out again ;) | 19:22 |
| pinner | zeth: shall we say ready by Friday? | 19:23 |
| zeth | ok | 19:23 |
| zeth | pre-checkin for tutorials on Friday | 19:23 |
| pinner | ACTION zeth - tutorial booking system to be online by Friday 12th | 19:24 |
| zeth | last time I could set maximum number on certain tutorials, do we want me to do that? | 19:24 |
| zeth | Or shall we just cope with whatever happens? | 19:24 |
| pinner | tartley: tutor notifications when? | 19:24 |
| pinner | zeth: cope with whatever happens | 19:24 |
| tartley | I intend to send right after this meeting | 19:24 |
| pinner | tartley: good. | 19:25 |
| pinner | TOPIC Talks | 19:25 |
| pinner | Jim Hugunin has withdrawn, no keynote | 19:25 |
| tartley | sorry: quick sanity check: We are talking about the email to tutors about uploading and (not yet) invoicing. Not somethign else that I've misunderstood? | 19:25 |
| fuzzyman | we're hoping to get an IronPython team replacement but it won't be a keynote | 19:26 |
| pinner | tartley: yes, you're sane (ish) | 19:26 |
| tartley | pinner: thanks | 19:26 |
| pinner | so we can do a little rescheduling. maybe allocate more time to the PSF session with Steve Holden, or get him to do a Teach Me session | 19:27 |
| pinner | time for that later, though | 19:27 |
| pinner | We are desparate for session chairs, need the SessionTeam page updating with the slots like at PyCon UK last year | 19:28 |
| pinner | then we need to press gang people... | 19:28 |
| fuzzyman | tartley: advertised it but hasn't signed up himself... | 19:28 |
| fuzzyman | do we have a session chair? | 19:29 |
| pinner | Many of the speaker bios are inadequate | 19:29 |
| pinner | fuzzyman: possible Richard Taylor | 19:29 |
| fuzzyman | ok | 19:29 |
| pinner | and a lot of the speaker pix are missing | 19:29 |
| pinner | nickbooker: can you mail a list of missing pix to the Talks Sub Committee | 19:30 |
| pinner | so they can mail speakers? | 19:30 |
| tartley | I was working on what I took from last week's meeting, that I would make a good fall-back if we are short-handed, but should focus on helping with AV | 19:30 |
| dboddie_office | I'm aiming to sign up for a session chair later today. | 19:30 |
| zeth | I have a suggestion, shall we write a list of annoying little jobs, and I will find lots of annoying little people to do them. The call for someone to help with collating papers returned 6 responses, but none of them seemed to know what to do. Maybe I could try to take a list of stupid things and shephard a bit more; just an idea. | 19:30 |
| nickbooker | pinner: yep i'll do that | 19:30 |
| pinner | tartley: you've already done a lot, we want others joining in, so we should only do it as a last resort | 19:31 |
| pinner | although I intend to sign up for a t | 19:31 |
| pboddie | I'm willing to help with session chairing and stuff. I was really assuming that Zeth would pester everyone he knows, anyway. ;-) | 19:31 |
| pinner | talk/session I want to attend | 19:31 |
| pinner | pboddie: thanks put you name on the wiki! | 19:32 |
| pinner | and we have to chase the speakers who have not registered, although it's difficult to work out who they are | 19:32 |
| pinner | ACTION nickbooker produce list of speakers with missing pix for TSC | 19:33 |
| pinner | ACTION TSC to review bios and chase speakers with bad ones, and missing pix | 19:33 |
| pinner | ACTION all to press-gang session chairs | 19:34 |
| pinner | TOPIC Swag Bags | 19:34 |
| pinner | We have looked at some and chosen, so that's in hand | 19:34 |
| pinner | just have to choose a design, which nick and zeth have been working on | 19:35 |
| zeth | oh yes | 19:35 |
| pinner | No sign of Yusdi yet, so we have Plan B in reserve for the Programme | 19:35 |
| pinner | and the other problem is the CD master | 19:35 |
| pinner | zeth: any progress with volunteers? | 19:36 |
| zeth | well we have 6 volunteers | 19:36 |
| pinner | jeez! | 19:36 |
| zeth | but none of them seemed to get anywhere | 19:36 |
| zeth | matti: was one | 19:36 |
| zeth | who was trying to grasp the bull by the horns | 19:36 |
| zeth | I will try to chase this | 19:36 |
| pinner | zeth: good | 19:37 |
| pinner | we need the master ideally one week before the conference | 19:37 |
| zeth | ok | 19:37 |
| pinner | so we need to tell speakers/tutors they have until 18th June, that's only 9 days. | 19:37 |
| zeth | crikey | 19:38 |
| pinner | in extremis we can go to two days before, ie 26th | 19:38 |
| pinner | but we can't tell them that | 19:38 |
| tartley | Right. 18th was what I had in mind. | 19:38 |
| pinner | ACTION zeth to round up CD volunteers to produce the goods | 19:39 |
| pinner | TOPIC Publicity | 19:39 |
| fuzzyman | good job tartley is producing the materials for our tutorial | 19:39 |
| fuzzyman | :-) | 19:39 |
| pinner | All we can do now is spam lists, plus try and get something on the reg etc | 19:40 |
| tartley | ha har! Good job fuzzy already did it for PyCon! | 19:40 |
| fuzzyman | :-) | 19:40 |
| tartley | fuzzyman: acknowledged we need to brush them up though | 19:40 |
| pinner | we had good publicity on the Ubuntu-UK podcast and we have a winner of the competition, they will announce tonight I think | 19:40 |
| fuzzyman | tartley: we should get together | 19:41 |
| lac | cool | 19:41 |
| fuzzyman | We were on MSDN flash as well | 19:41 |
| fuzzyman | not sure how effective it is, but it's something | 19:41 |
| pinner | we made the question too hard (!) so there were not many correct entries, so we though we'd offer them reduce entry fees | 19:41 |
| pinner | might boost the attendance a little and spread goodwill | 19:41 |
| tartley | out of interest, what was the question? | 19:42 |
| pinner | The Twitter reflector is working reliably (touch wood) | 19:42 |
| tartley | Own up: was it about metaclasses? | 19:42 |
| fuzzyman | I missed a talk question - sorry | 19:42 |
| fuzzyman | have we scheduled Cory Doctorow and has anyone been in touch with him? | 19:43 |
| pinner | tartley: Which speaker is so relaxed about his database that he has a rest? | 19:43 |
| tartley | I have | 19:43 |
| fuzzyman | tartley: cool | 19:43 |
| tartley | I have been in touch with Cory. He's confirmed for the slot we have him in (let me look...) | 19:43 |
| tartley | and ishappy for any class of train ticket that gets him a table and a power socket. He's buying his own ticket on that understanding. | 19:44 |
| pinner | ACTION all to publicise where possible - lists, blogs, twitter etc | 19:44 |
| pinner | did you get the Twitter meeting reminder? | 19:44 |
| pinner | TOPIC Tech Team | 19:45 |
| pinner | qwright: status on ADSL? | 19:45 |
| qwright | due to order on Thursday | 19:45 |
| fuzzyman | pinner: you mean from the reflector? worked fine, I saw it | 19:45 |
| matti | I was one? | 19:45 |
| matti | zeth: ? :) | 19:45 |
| tartley | yes, I saw the twitter meeting reminder | 19:45 |
| matti | Did I miss something? | 19:46 |
| matti | I have go to ho,e | 19:46 |
| matti | But in 30 min time I will be able to help! | 19:46 |
| pinner | fuzzyman: yes, the reflector. used as you suggested? talk on widgets starting in Bar in 10 minutes! etc | 19:47 |
| fuzzyman | worked great | 19:47 |
| pinner | matti: suggest you and zeth meet after this meeting | 19:47 |
| pinner | we will order projector(s) this week | 19:47 |
| pinner | and I'm picking up a loan projector in London on 25th. | 19:48 |
| qwright | we need to make a visit to CBSO to work out wireless and power provision | 19:48 |
| pinner | we've not made much progress on video | 19:48 |
| pinner | although Ciaran is wound up ready for audio, I believe | 19:49 |
| qwright | are there any plans in place for video? | 19:49 |
| qwright | I've asked a few times.... | 19:49 |
| pinner | I'm forgetting about video, if it happens it happens, if not too bad | 19:49 |
| lac | I think there are no video plans. If there are any I have not heard of them. | 19:49 |
| pinner | has anyone asked keith white to be a power monkey? | 19:49 |
| qwright | Not I ... | 19:50 |
| pinner | lac: we may have some video, but it's not definite at all. | 19:50 |
| zeth | matti: Hi cool, catch you in 30 mins | 19:50 |
| qwright | I can e-mail him, assuming I can dig out his e-mail address | 19:50 |
| zeth | video is off | 19:50 |
| zeth | MrTopF wants to do other things this year | 19:51 |
| zeth | like go to talks | 19:51 |
| pinner | very sensible of MrTopf | 19:51 |
| zeth | video is a lot of work | 19:52 |
| zeth | he has not edited the stuff yet from last year | 19:52 |
| zeth | so we just stick with audio | 19:52 |
| pinner | ACTION qwright to ask Keith White to help with power etc | 19:53 |
| fuzzyman | fine with me - shame - but is a *huge* amount of effort | 19:53 |
| fuzzyman | the PyCon guys did really well but they had a big team and stack of equipment | 19:53 |
| pinner | qwright needs a lot more help with Tech Team | 19:53 |
| pinner | I think we should put out a call on europython@python.org for help with thinks like Tech Team and SessionTeam | 19:54 |
| qwright | Really need more hands to set up stuff and clear up | 19:54 |
| tartley | sounds like a job for zeths 'stupid tasks' list ? | 19:54 |
| pinner | it's supposed to be a community conference, after all... | 19:54 |
| qwright | We do have Mez some of the time. | 19:54 |
| tartley | I think such a list will help with recruiting, too. Point people at it and say 'choose something off here', so they know exactly what will be involved by volunteering. | 19:55 |
| qwright | I'll do stuff on wiki | 19:55 |
| pinner | tartley: good idea | 19:55 |
| fuzzyman | pinner: what's the period on the twitter reflector? | 19:55 |
| qwright | ...relating to Tech Team | 19:56 |
| pinner | fuzzyman: seconds to low number of minutes, assuming Twitter's not crashed | 19:56 |
| fuzzyman | ok | 19:56 |
| fuzzyman | posted something 7 minutes ago | 19:56 |
| fuzzyman | does it drop recursive tweets? | 19:57 |
| zeth | I think we need some point of contact, me or someone else | 19:57 |
| fuzzyman | (sorry - irrelevancy really) | 19:57 |
| zeth | because asking people to do things doesn't seem to work quickly | 19:57 |
| * Mez is in on the Tech Team, and can help whenever. but can't make it for the first sunday | 19:58 | |
| zeth | I am suggesting that you all put all of these tasks in a wiki list | 19:58 |
| pinner | will you *all* put areas where you need help on the wiki VolunteersByActivity page? (which probably needs reworking) | 19:58 |
| zeth | and I chase people | 19:58 |
| zeth | or someone chases people | 19:58 |
| pinner | ACTION All needing help to put requirements on wiki | 19:59 |
| qwright | http://wiki.europython2009.eu/Helping | 19:59 |
| zeth | problem we have had is we ask volunteers, we get volunteers and they talk to a list, and then give up | 19:59 |
| zeth | Maybe I am being too harsh though | 20:00 |
| qwright | or is it: http://wiki.europython2009.eu/VolunteersByActivity ?? | 20:00 |
| pboddie | See Laura's list from previous years, too: http://www.europython2008.eu/Volunteers | 20:00 |
| pinner | who's going to ask on europython@python.org | 20:01 |
| pinner | pboddie: it's a bit late for that! It's just the things 'on-the-day' we're lacking now | 20:01 |
| zeth | Okay I need to get off campus, I will be home and hopefully online again in 20 mins | 20:02 |
| pinner | zeth: good night, I will be gone by then | 20:03 |

| pinner | TOPIC Sponsorship | 20:04 |
| pinner | Microsoft have not got the budget, but we've not given up hope yet... | 20:04 |
| pinner | No response from Canonical or Sun | 20:04 |
| pinner | I asked Qt, no response yet | 20:05 |
| * Mez is surprised @ no response from Canonical | 20:05 | |
| pinner | dboddie_office: any feedback? | 20:05 |
| dboddie_office | I saw our contact today, but he didn't say anything. | 20:05 |
| MrTopf | Hi! As for video, it needs some budget to really make it happen I believe | 20:05 |
| Mez | MrTopf: video? poke tony whitmore :D | 20:06 |
| MrTopf | who is Tony? :) | 20:06 |
| pinner | Mez: Canonical have gone quite on both sponsorship and involvement | 20:06 |
| dboddie_office | pinner: I'll chase him up about it. | 20:06 |
| pinner | dboddie_office: thanks | 20:06 |
| pinner | Canonical sponsored PyCon US $3000, but haven't responded to us, even though they promised a reply | 20:07 |
| pinner | and I've reminded them | 20:07 |
| qwright | We need a sponsors and exhibitors co-ordinator... | 20:07 |
| qwright | .. to liaise with sponsors and exhibitors on the day(s) | 20:08 |
| pinner | and Steve Alexander doesn't reply to emails about involvement with the conference | 20:08 |
| qwright | jp tells me that's what a champion is | 20:09 |
| pinner | so we'll keep plugging away... | 20:09 |
| pinner | yes, we need someone to hold the sposnors' hands and keep them happy on the day... | 20:09 |
| pinner | help them with stand space, handouts, etc etc | 20:09 |
| pinner | any one volunteering? | 20:10 |
| qwright | or can think of anyone who might enjoy it??? | 20:10 |
| dboddie_office | Someone who likes networking and who is looking for a job. ;-) | 20:11 |
| fuzzyman | hehe | 20:11 |
| fuzzyman | what day will the duty start? | 20:11 |
| tartley | we can't pay for this role, is that right? | 20:11 |
| qwright | you mean social networking | 20:11 |
| lac | When jacob gets home I can see if he wants to be sp0nsor hand holder | 20:11 |
| pinner | fuzzyman: Monday pm? | 20:11 |
| lac | he often likes doing such things. | 20:11 |
| fuzzyman | I'm not looking for a job but if it doesn't clash with my tutorial I can do it | 20:12 |
| lac | jacob has a tutorial as well | 20:12 |
| fuzzyman | happy for Jacob to do it - I can be a fallback | 20:12 |
| fuzzyman | or we can job share | 20:12 |
| lac | well, I am onoy promising to ask him, not volunteering him .... :) | 20:12 |
| fuzzyman | simpler if you just volunteer him | 20:12 |
| qwright | it doesn't have to be one person | 20:12 |
| fuzzyman | saves complications later | 20:13 |
| pinner | so problem solved - jacob22 if he does as told, sorry, asked ;-) with fuzzyman as fallback | 20:13 |
| Mez | pinner: who's your contact there? | 20:13 |
| pinner | we'll leave a decision on that to the next meeting, after lac has discussed with jacob22 | 20:14 |

| pinner | The Partners' Programme is in hand! I saw their notes from last night's meeting | 20:15 |
| Mez | qwright: when would I be needed for the tech team - I'm not booked in for the tutorial days, and am on a course on one of them | 20:16 |
| pinner | As far as anything else is concerned, we have the Australian Bar reserved for Monday and Tuesday nights | 20:16 |
| lac | I had an idea for social program. I like to eat dim sum. It's not available where I live. I'd like to go out with others for dim sum. Maybe others would as well. | 20:16 |
| pinner | and otherwise we'll just let it happen | 20:16 |
| Mez | pinner: getting someone to check whetner | 20:16 |
| pinner | lac: no problem | 20:16 |
| lac | It is a lunch thing. question is it located too far from the conference? | 20:16 |
| Mez | Cezzaine Haigh is on holiday | 20:16 |
| fuzzyman | brb | 20:16 |
| Mez | pinner: Word from the canonical staff is if you can't get a hold of Cezzaine, try Kat Kinne | 20:17 |
| pinner | lac: we have 90 minutes for lunch. It's a 15 minute walk, so you have time | 20:17 |
| pinner | Mez: thanks | 20:18 |
| Mez | pinner: one sec, lemme c/p | 20:18 |
| Mez | 18:17 <mrevell> Okay, regarding an existing conference you probably want to speak to Kat Kinnie, if you can't get Cezz | 20:18 |
| Mez | 18:17 <Mez> kat.kinnie@canonical.com ? | 20:18 |
| Mez | 18:17 <mrevell> so, kat.kinnie@canonical.com | 20:18 |
| Mez | 18:17 <mrevell> yeah :) | 20:18 |
| pinner | lac: Also you have the other days (sprints and tutorials) | 20:18 |
| Mez | 18:17 <mrevell> failing that gerry.carr@canonical.com | 20:18 |
| Mez | 18:17 <mrevell> try Cezzaine first though | 20:18 |
| Mez | 18:17 <mrevell> if they haven't already pinged/chased her | 20:18 |
| pinner | Mez: thanks to you and Matthew | 20:19 |
| Mez | pinner, happy to help :D but I have to go now | 20:19 |
| pinner | we could do with a list of local hostelries for the delegate bags | 20:20 |
| pinner | Mez: good night, and thanks :-) | 20:20 |
| pinner | TOPIC AOB | 20:20 |
| pinner | I have none | 20:20 |
| tartley | I have used beerintheevening for stuff like that in the past? Perhaps the locals could use it for inspiration? | 20:20 |
| tartley | (lists of pubs) | 20:20 |
| lac | I have one thing. | 20:21 |
| lac | I found somebody who has a working alternative version of faster python. | 20:21 |
| lac | he is to present at EuroSciPy. | 20:21 |
| lac | I would like to ask him to drop an abstrract in, so that if we have room | 20:21 |
| lac | due to drop outs we can put him in. | 20:21 |
| lac | Is the system up? | 20:21 |
| pinner | lac: yes, but orphaned | 20:22 |
| pinner | lac: and we will have spare slots | 20:22 |
| lac | ok then, shall I tell him that there is room? he would like 30 minutes. | 20:22 |
| pinner | because of Ukraine visas and Jum Hugunin | 20:22 |
| lac | Jim cannot make it? oh rats. I seem to have missed that | 20:22 |
| fuzzyman | back | 20:23 |
| pboddie | How about a VM shootout? | 20:23 |
| pinner | lac: see earlier | 20:23 |
| pinner | pboddie: are you volunteering? | 20:23 |
| pinner | lac: he can probably have 45 | 20:23 |
| pinner | lac: looks interesting | 20:23 |
| fuzzyman | a VM panel sounds like a good idea | 20:24 |
| pinner | yeah, good | 20:24 |
| lac | did he say why he withdrew? | 20:24 |
| fuzzyman | we have PyPy, IronPython, CPython, Jython and the new implementation | 20:24 |
| fuzzyman | unavoidable work conflicts | 20:24 |
| pinner | lac: too busy | 20:24 |
| lac | alas. | 20:24 |
| fuzzyman | he was very apologetic but that's no help | 20:24 |
| * pboddie can't really think this through right now, but nudges fuzzyman into the spotlight. | 20:24 | |
| * pboddie has to go. | 20:25 | |
| fuzzyman | I'm happy to organise a VM panel if it is wanted - but don't think it's a keynote | 20:25 |
| lac | what is the url for talk submissions again? | 20:25 |
| * pinner needs to go as well | 20:25 | |
| pboddie | fuzzyman: It's all of the above plus that Glasgow bloke and anyone else who has one up their sleeve. | 20:25 |
| fuzzyman | that glasgow bloke was the one I meant | 20:25 |
| pinner | so shall we fix the next meeting, one week's time? | 20:25 |
| fuzzyman | ok | 20:26 |
| * pboddie is off. | 20:26 | |
| *** pboddie has quit IRC | 20:26 | |
| lac | there will be another person coming who has one | 20:26 |
| fuzzyman | should I submit a VM panel as a talk or should we leave it until next week? | 20:26 |
| pinner | I may have trouble attending because I'm away teaching | 20:26 |
| lac | submit it as a talk and | 20:26 |
| tartley | is someone already producing the list of hostelries? Or should I volunteer to do that tonight? | 20:26 |
| lac | tell me the url again for making a new submission | 20:26 |
| tartley | Is there a Birminham local I could liase with to give my list the once-over? | 20:27 |
| tartley | ok 1 week | 20:27 |
| fuzzyman | talk submission url | 20:28 |
| fuzzyman | ? | 20:28 |
| tartley | http://www.europython.eu/submission/ | 20:28 |
| pinner | tartley: me if you want | 20:28 |
| tartley | thanks John. It shouldn't take a moment of your time. | 20:29 |
