| matti | Meh. | 12:55 |
| ambv | matti: sorry but you have to. | 13:02 |
| ambv | we have to meet and seriously pick up the ideas we had last year. | 13:02 |
| matti | Ideas? | 13:03 |
| matti | I had none. | 13:03 |
| matti | You are probably confusing me with somebody else -- like _dboddie ;] | 13:04 |
| ambv | matti: nope, nope. | 13:04 |
| matti | ambv: You sure? | 13:36 |
| ambv | matti: yup, we've talked about the news aggregator, about systems monitoring and stuff | 13:52 |

| moreati | oh, I stopped watching an hour ago. No one knew wtf was happening. | 20:09 |
| pinner | apparently GB is packing his bags at No 10, if you believe the BBC | 20:10 |
| sharoon | moreati: 16 mins ago: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8674103.stm | 20:10 |

| pinner | zeth is starting his laptop.. | 20:11 |
| pinner | TOPIC Apologies | 20:11 |
| pinner | I have none, except for the usual one from HippySurfer | 20:12 |
| zeth | Hi | 20:12 |
| pinner | any others? | 20:12 |
| zeth | PRESENT | 20:12 |
| moreati | fuzzyman is in transit I think | 20:12 |
| pinner | Hi zeth | 20:12 |
| zeth | hi john! | 20:12 |
| pinner | TOPIC Talks | 20:13 |
| moreati | I went through the system on Sunday. | 20:13 |
| pinner | moreati: you know best here, I think, thanks to your sad wekend looking at Talk Submissions ;-) | 20:13 |
| moreati | Accepted nearly all the talks and allocated them 45 minutes | 20:14 |
| moreati | I left tutorials alone | 20:14 |
| moreati | bare with me one sec | 20:14 |
| pinner | OK, so how many do we have? I thought over 120 | 20:14 |
| pinner | moreati: so are you unclothed? | 20:15 |
| * zeth hits the high hat | 20:15 | |
| moreati | no, I was firing up the list | 20:15 |
| sharoon | pinner: lol | 20:15 |
| moreati | right, we have a 103 submitted talks | 20:15 |
| moreati | 13 tutorials | 20:16 |
| *** Joe202 has joined #europython | 20:16 | |
| moreati | Also Matt Hamilton replied to me yesterday ask if he could still submit a talk. I see no reason not, I wanted to check with y'all first | 20:16 |
| Joe202 | PRESENT | 20:17 |
| Joe202 | Hi all | 20:17 |
| pinner | hello Joe, we're on Talks | 20:17 |
| Joe202 | Thanks | 20:17 |
| pinner | We can take a limited number of more talks | 20:17 |
| zeth | cool, I might submit one :-) | 20:18 |
| moreati | The 2 who have submitted the most talks are Raymond H and Wesley Chunn | 20:18 |
| tartley | I see a lot of talks that don't yet have a populated 'length' attribute. What's their status? | 20:18 |
| moreati | Is there any reason not to accept all their talks? | 20:18 |
| sharoon | moreati: [I had submitted one... hope you had some time to look through it] | 20:18 |
| pinner | We are still waiting for submissions from Michele Simianato and Chris Tismer | 20:18 |
| *** [fpliger] has joined #europython | 20:19 | |
| moreati | sharoon, Forgive me, what's your 3D name? | 20:19 |
| sharoon | moreati: Sharoon Thomas | 20:19 |
| [fpliger] | hi all.. | 20:19 |
| pinner | moreati: Maybe we should have a first cut at scheduling before accepting them en masse, in case there'e not room | 20:19 |
| moreati | sharoon, your tryton talk is accepted | 20:19 |
| sharoon | moreati: thanks :) | 20:19 |
| moreati | pinner, sounds god | 20:19 |
| zeth | If there is room I think we can take them RH was really good the other year | 20:20 |
| pinner | hello fabio! I hope you had a good PyCon 4 !!! | 20:20 |
| moreati | tartley, If there are any _talks_ that are accepted and unallocated then I missed them, one sec | 20:20 |
| pinner | the overall quality looks good | 20:20 |
| moreati | Ah there are two | 20:21 |
| [fpliger] | pinner: yeap, thanks! | 20:21 |
| pinner | sharoon: will there be a war if we put you in the same session as Fabien on OpenERP? | 20:21 |
| moreati | pinner, I was impressed all the way through | 20:21 |
| tartley | @moreati Oops, I see - I'm looking at tutorials then, my bad. | 20:21 |
| tartley | @moreati, almost all, at least. ok. | 20:21 |
| [fpliger] | pinner: lot of work as usual but quite a goooood pycon 4 :) | 20:22 |
| sharoon | pinner: if the community doesn't i wont ;) | 20:22 |
| pinner | zeth: we have to accept RH's talks , as we invited him! | 20:22 |
| moreati | Ah there was one talk I accepted, but intentionally didn't allocate | 20:22 |
| moreati | http://www.europython.eu/submission/admin/submission/talk/124/ | 20:22 |
| pinner | BTW RH submitted his expenses from PyCon 2007 last week (or was it 2008? Somewhat late! | 20:23 |
| moreati | They've asked for 60 minutes. Our standardised time slot is 45 mins, but they've got a very packed abstract. Should we ask them to split into two talks, or cu some material and squeeze into one? | 20:23 |
| *** contrary has joined #europython | 20:23 | |
| tartley | @pinner, as you no doubt know better than anyone, the problem with 'early passes' on scheduling is that changes to the talks (eg. adding more or changing duration) can have big knock-on effects that require a lot of scheduling rework. Why are you keen to do a scheduling run? | 20:23 |
| zeth | I think best to split into two talks, and put them on seperate days | 20:23 |
| tartley | @pinner just to hurry things along? (which is fair) | 20:24 |
| pinner | hello Mary! | 20:24 |
| moreati | The speaker is Antonio Cuni, PyPy 1.2 | 20:24 |
| zeth | let the first part digest in your head | 20:24 |
| contrary | hello all | 20:24 |
| pinner | anyone go to his talks before? does he take all the time? | 20:24 |
| moreati | pinner, pass | 20:24 |
| zeth | Maybe do one part as intro to PyPy, and second part what is new in PyPy | 20:24 |
| zeth | or just give him 45 | 20:25 |
| moreati | I'll ask him is probably the best approach, see what he prefers | 20:25 |
| pinner | tartley: I'm keen to get a schdule out early as a lack of one puts people off registering, especially for the tutorials | 20:25 |
| moreati | Okay, unless there are questions, that's my report on talks concluded | 20:26 |
| tartley | @pinner, ah i see | 20:26 |
| Joe202 | Is it possible to scedule (most of) the tutorials as they would anyway be less work to redo if needed? | 20:26 |
| pinner | who got Brett Cannon to come? was it fuzzy? | 20:26 |
| [fpliger] | Cuni did a PyPy 1.2 talk with Armin Rigo at Pycon IT 4 and they took a 60 minutes talk | 20:27 |
| tartley | @ so it isn't crucial if it gets moved around afterwards, so long as we freeze it long before the conference. I geddit, thanks. | 20:27 |
| moreati | tartley, precisely | 20:27 |
| pinner | thanks fabio, let's give him 60 minutes, no more | 20:27 |
| pinner | tartley: yeah | 20:27 |
| *** pboddie has joined #europython | 20:28 | |
| contrary | pboddie: any relation to dboddie? | 20:28 |
| pboddie | contrary: Yes. Sorry to be late for the meeting! | 20:28 |
| pboddie | PRESENT | 20:28 |
| pinner | at the moment, we're paying Brett's expenses from I think Vancouver, but he's giving just one talk, in the import statement, cf Raymon's 4 talks... | 20:29 |
| pboddie | APOLOGIES for _dboddie who is away. | 20:29 |
| pinner | hello Paul, thanks for you Django work | 20:29 |
| zeth | contrary: pboddie = Boddie(), _dboddie = Boddie() | 20:29 |
| contrary | zeth: could have been one person with two personalities | 20:30 |
| zeth | or maybe class Paul(Boddie) | 20:30 |
| zeth | contrary: like me you mean? | 20:30 |
| zeth | :-) | 20:30 |
| pinner | zeth: I don't think Mary is into OOP yet! | 20:30 |
| zeth | pinner: good point! | 20:30 |
| contrary | googling OOP | 20:30 |
| pboddie | pinner: My work was making Zeth do the work. :-) | 20:31 |
| zeth | that is good work indeed! | 20:31 |
| pinner | OK, so we have plenty of talks, and need to schedule them... | 20:31 |
| moreati | pinner, yes | 20:31 |
| pinner | zeth: even a miracle ;-) | 20:32 |
| zeth | :-) | 20:32 |
| pinner | moreati: shall we have a crack at it this week, in a 3D meeting? | 20:32 |
| moreati | pinner, okay. One evening, weekend afternoon, or during business hours. I'm at your disposal | 20:33 |
| moreati | except Friday evening | 20:33 |
| tartley | um er. I recognise you guys are old hands at this, and I'm at the wrong end of the train line, but can I do helpful things on that front? | 20:33 |
| pinner | moreati: I'll phone, it's difficult as I'm in PEOYH (TM) - payroll end-of-year hell, will look at hat's possible... | 20:34 |
| moreati | tartley, The moving physical paper approach has one draw make.. online collaboration. | 20:35 |
| pinner | tartley: yes, of course, actually you are the second most experience in this group | 20:35 |
| moreati | s/make/back | 20:35 |
| zeth | tartley: normally they write out all the talks onto post-it notes and then take a photo and share the photo | 20:35 |
| zeth | Or do something electronic | 20:36 |
| moreati | ooh, camera. I'll start an email to Tim | 20:36 |
| zeth | so I expect you guys will allow discussion at some point of the process | 20:36 |
| pinner | ACTION pinner, tartley moreati to draw up preliminary timetable | 20:36 |
| tartley | hooray! | 20:37 |
| pinner | Alos, I'm concerned about the talks, bios web page builds, but we can deal with that outside this meeting | 20:37 |
| pinner | TOPIC Sponsorship | 20:38 |
| pinner | For status, see Agenda | 20:38 |
| pinner | In summary, we're getting quite good progress, but we really need a lot more sponsorship, so if we have contacts, eg Python-centric employers, we should be approaching them | 20:39 |
| moreati | pinner, Looking good. I'll plug those numbers into the budget spreadsheet and upload | 20:40 |
| pinner | One attraction for sponsors is that thye can join in the 'Recruitment Event' - Talk No 130 | 20:40 |
| [fpliger] | about sponsorship, we are in contact with some of the Pycon IT sponsors trying to get them to sponsor EP too... | 20:40 |
| [fpliger] | about sponsorship, we are in contact with some of the Pycon IT sponsors trying to get them to sponsor EP too... | 20:40 |
| pinner | so pleas plug it where you can | 20:40 |
| [fpliger] | about sponsorship, we are in contact with some of the Pycon IT sponsors trying to get them to sponsor EP too... | 20:41 |
| [fpliger] | about sponsorship, we are in contact with some of the Pycon IT sponsors trying to get them to sponsor EP too... | 20:41 |
| [fpliger] | about sponsorship, we are in contact with some of the Pycon IT sponsors trying to get them to sponsor EP too... | 20:41 |
| pinner | One disappointment: I've approached Canonical via Barry Warsaw, and he's not hopeful. | 20:41 |
| *** [fpliger] has quit IRC | 20:41 | |
| pinner | The same with Microsoft, thye have no budget, may be better by July which is in their new financial year | 20:41 |
| pboddie | pinner: Was there any progress in doing a promotional deal with Arduino-related people? | 20:42 |
| pinner | I think we suffer by being after PyCon US and they've all spent their budgets by the time they get to us. | 20:42 |
| *** [fpliger] has joined #europython | 20:43 | |
| zeth | Maybe they need to cancel PyCon US for a few years | 20:43 |
| pinner | pboddie: well Andrew Eliasz is doing a tutorial for free, and bringing hardware | 20:43 |
| [fpliger] | sorry, my irc client crashed.. | 20:43 |
| pinner | but I don't know any other 'Arduino-related' people | 20:44 |
| [fpliger] | about the sponsorship topic: about sponsorship, we are in contact with some of the Pycon IT sponsors trying to get them to sponsor EP too... | 20:44 |
| moreati | [fpliger], don't worry, we got that bit :) | 20:44 |
| pinner | fpliger: how did sponsorship for PyCon 4 go? EP sponsorship is a bit slow | 20:44 |
| pinner | fpliger: Packt offerd a choice of two deals to us last week, one involved sponship for IT, but it was at the end of the week and too late :-( | 20:45 |
| [fpliger] | . | 20:46 |
| *** [fpliger] has left #europython | 20:46 | |
| pinner | I think we've exhausted this for the time being, good discussions took place between meetings, so I'm happy that this continues, so | 20:46 |
| pinner | ACTION Sponsorship Committee to continue meetings/work before next Planning Meeting - _dboddie, boddie, conch, pinner | 20:48 |
| pinner | I'm going to arebitrarily change the Agenda and insert an item | 20:48 |
| pinner | TOPIC Social and Partner Programme | 20:49 |
| pinner | contrary: where are we? | 20:49 |
| contrary | Nothing has moved since Zeth, Jutta, Sheila and I toured the mailbox. We certainly havent had any contact with any Parnters | 20:49 |
| contrary | have any of the 197 indicated they are bringing a partner? | 20:50 |
| pinner | OK, so we need to analyse the registration to see if any geeks admit to having partners ;-) | 20:50 |
| zeth | Can we put the partner programme on the same page as the talk programme? | 20:51 |
| moreati | contrary, are you on the EuroPython mailing list? Would you like to put out an email to it? | 20:51 |
| pinner | contrary: don't know, I don't think so but will check | 20:51 |
| contrary | I have ended up on loads of list, which one in particular? | 20:51 |
| contrary | suggestion - pinner or moreati tell me o/s mtg which list to write to | 20:52 |
| pinner | zeth: don't see why not, except that it doesn't exactly fit into 1 hour slots! | 20:52 |
| zeth | but it could be underneath then | 20:52 |
| zeth | if it doesn't fit | 20:52 |
| zeth | but if it is on the same webpage | 20:52 |
| contrary | we can get around that, it is just a matter of formatting | 20:52 |
| pinner | contrary: OK, maybe you could join us when we schedule | 20:52 |
| contrary | will do | 20:52 |
| pboddie | I added the missing day to the schedule, by the way, just to avoid confusion. | 20:53 |
| zeth | If it is on the same webpage, then people who are looking at it with a view to booking, will see it then | 20:53 |
| pinner | ACTION contrary, moreati, pinner to liaise over partner programme etc | 20:53 |
| pinner | pboddie: I'm not sure why we have schedule page being built anyway, it seems a mistake if we haven't any scheduling done | 20:54 |
| pinner | Hague announced resumption of talks on Twitter ! | 20:54 |
| pinner | rumour is 6 cabinet seats for Lib-Dems | 20:55 |
| pboddie | pinner: I guess the links on the front page have to go somewhere. | 20:55 |
| pinner | pboddie: I think that last year we didn't have links until there was content. | 20:56 |
| pinner | OK, let's move on... | 20:56 |
| pinner | TOPIC Registration | 20:56 |
| pinner | We just below 200, 197 in fact | 20:57 |
| moreati | just shy of an overall majority, badum tish | 20:57 |
| pinner | with 38 for tutorials, so this all looks good with>2 months to go | 20:57 |
| pinner | 24 registered yesterday | 20:57 |
| zeth | moreati: lets go into a coalation with ruby on rails | 20:58 |
| pboddie | moreati: Lord Mandelson as a keynote speaker? ;-) | 20:58 |
| zeth | he would be pretty good I expect | 20:58 |
| zeth | Maybe Gordon Brown | 20:58 |
| zeth | he has nothing else to do | 20:58 |
| pinner | yesterday was close of Early Bird, of course | 20:58 |
| pinner | except that I did not change it to close off Early Bird. | 20:59 |
| pboddie | So how does that compare to last year? Any nice text graphs like we used to have? ;-) | 20:59 |
| pinner | pboddie: yes, but I haven't posted them yet | 20:59 |
| pboddie | Aren't we still accepting talks, unofficially? I'm guessing there weren't any vocal stragglers when it came to submission problems because no-one seems to have mentioned it. | 21:00 |
| moreati | pboddie, I few snuck in, I'm about to email another to say they can submit. No complaints/pleas beyond that | 21:01 |
| pboddie | OK. This means that I (or someone else) can perhaps update the front page and maybe write a blog entry about it. | 21:02 |
| pinner | pboddie: look in your mailbox. | 21:03 |
| pboddie | pinner: Oh yes, the agenda! :-) | 21:03 |
| pinner | I don't think that we should extend Early Bird this year. We have around 200 registered, and all speaker can get the Speaker Rate still | 21:04 |
| pinner | pboddie: no, the booking report | 21:04 |
| pinner | any comments on stopping Early Bird? | 21:05 |
| zeth | Hi | 21:05 |
| pboddie | Vote now! (At least your vote means something in EP meetings!) | 21:05 |
| zeth | sorry just got the washing in | 21:05 |
| pboddie | zeth: Well done! | 21:05 |
| zeth | I think we should close early bird at some point | 21:05 |
| moreati | I vote close now, don't extend | 21:06 |
| contrary | +1 | 21:06 |
| zeth | I would say close tomorrow | 21:06 |
| Joe202 | I'm happy to close early bird. | 21:06 |
| Joe202 | +1 | 21:06 |
| zeth | but give people a day or two last chance | 21:06 |
| pinner | zeth: the point is, do we close it now, more or less on schedule, or maybe extend it a week and publicise? | 21:06 |
| zeth | extend it a little | 21:07 |
| pinner | we ahven't got a vote going yet! | 21:07 |
| zeth | maybe end of working week | 21:07 |
| tartley | I guess it depends on how many signups are still coming through. If we close it, do we shut of the tap? Or is it already a tiny trickle? | 21:07 |
| pboddie | pinner: Thanks for the stats! | 21:07 |
| pinner | It will be a trickle now, until another deadline | 21:07 |
| zeth | When we do an email saying "last chance" you get some bookings, each of which has some problem or other | 21:07 |
| pinner | So we have a proposal, I think | 21:08 |
| pinner | VOTE Extend Early Bird until this weekend | 21:08 |
| zeth | because they meant to ask us some question but never got around to it | 21:08 |
| Joe202 | +1 | 21:08 |
| zeth | +1 | 21:08 |
| contrary | +1 | 21:08 |
| moreati | +1 | 21:08 |
| pinner | +1 | 21:08 |
| pinner | ENDVOTE | 21:09 |
| zeth | [Except never call it extend in public, just say close early bird before weekend] | 21:09 |
| pinner | DECISION Extend Early Bird until this weekend | 21:09 |
| zeth | if we say we 'extended it' then it looks like we are making up as we go along | 21:09 |
| zeth | no-one else knows the original plan | 21:09 |
| zeth | we always planned to end it this weekend :-) | 21:09 |
| pinner | BUt there is no point in this if we don't publicise on all the lists, so | 21:09 |
| moreati | One caveat, we shouldn't publish a timetable before we close early bird | 21:09 |
| pinner | ACTION all to publicise EP and Early Bird ending soon on our various lists | 21:10 |
| pinner | TOPIC Accommodation | 21:11 |
| pinner | No progress on VAT - with new VAT filing system coming in, HMRC are not answering the phone | 21:11 |
| pinner | TOPIC Infrastructure | 21:12 |
| pinner | conch is not here, but we're planning a venue(s) visit before the next meeting, and will report back then. | 21:13 |
| pinner | TOPIC Publicity | 21:13 |
| pinner | fpliger: fabio, was ther any publicity for EP at PyCon 4 ? | 21:13 |
| pboddie | Alex has done a great job with publicity! | 21:14 |
| sharoon | pinner: whom do i contact if i need some branding material? | 21:14 |
| contrary | I posted a msg on ubuntu-women list about the Google bursary. Might activate some interest | 21:14 |
| pinner | sharoon: look on the wiki, plus I have some printed posters | 21:14 |
| sharoon | pinner: i am looking for the printed poster | 21:15 |
| pinner | dimbleby just said that GB "didn't quite cut the mustard as PM" understatement of the year, eh | 21:16 |
| zeth | (Looks like Gordon Brown is now resigning) | 21:16 |
| pinner | sharoon: http://wiki.europython.eu/Publicity AFAIR | 21:16 |

| pinner | pboddie: was it you who suggested Simon Phipps? | 21:21 |
| pinner | An ace suggestion, there, I met him ten days ago and saw him speak, quite inspirational | 21:21 |
| pinner | I think we should have Simon for the opening keynote | 21:22 |
| moreati | would this be SImon Phipps ex Sun programmer, or Game Designer | 21:22 |
| pinner | Brown and family are leaving Downing Street. | 21:22 |
| zeth | Brown should have got the car from ashes to ashes, or knight rider car or something | 21:22 |
| pinner | moreati: ex-Sun Simon Phipps | 21:23 |
| moreati | right | 21:23 |
| pboddie | pinner: Yes, it just occurred to me that you're probably connected via UKUUG. | 21:23 |
| pboddie | zeth: The General Lee? Across the bonnet and in through the window! | 21:23 |

| pboddie | pinner: The identity server stuff? Didn't know he was personally involved in that. | 21:24 |
| pinner | pboddie: Yes, but I saw him not at UKUUG, but at Oggcamp in Liverpool, weekend before last | 21:25 |
| * zeth hides in the corner from serious schoolteacher contrary | 21:25 | |
| zeth | Have just emailed PyWM and SBlug | 21:25 |
| moreati | Shall we call a close? Real world events are overcoming IRC events | 21:25 |
| zeth | telling them to book | 21:25 |
| pinner | pboddie: I think it was more than the stuff he was directly involved with | 21:25 |
| pinner | OK, keynote look OK, still trying for Stephen Fry though - would be good for the dinner | 21:26 |
| pinner | and Steve Holden is coming, he should be good for a plenary if we're short. | 21:26 |

| zeth | who wants to speak and have us pay for his flights | 21:31 |
| pinner | excpet PUBLICISE PUBLICISE | 21:31 |
| zeth | it is a nice idea, but maybe PyConUS would be a better venue? | 21:31 |
| pinner | zeth: we simply can't afford what he needs - $3000 maybe, and if we could we'd want to spread it around more people I think | 21:32 |
| zeth | People with twitter please re-tweet: http://twitter.com/zeth0/status/13802625929 | 21:32 |
| zeth | pinner: yes it is a long way away | 21:33 |
| zeth | pinner: I think we should suggest he gives his talk in US next feb | 21:33 |
| zeth | or somewhere else more local | 21:33 |
| pinner | if we get good sponsorship, maybe we can help up to say £800 | 21:33 |
| moreati | pinner, zeth how about we propose to him if he can find someone to pay for his flights, then they get made a sponsor of EP? | 21:33 |
| pinner | I will ask lac if she has any ideas | 21:34 |
| zeth | It is expensive to get to or from latin america, travel won't cost less than 1500 pounds maybe not less than 2000 pounds | 21:34 |
| pinner | moreati: good batting, thinkman | 21:34 |
| pinner | zeth: ronnie biggs could afford it ;-) | 21:34 |
| zeth | okay | 21:36 |
| zeth | so we agree to pay half of the flight up to 800? | 21:36 |

| zeth | or we agree to pay nothing? | 21:36 |
| pinner | ACTION: pinner to suggest to matt he finds a sponsor we can then list as an EP sponsor | 21:36 |
| pinner | zeth: not until we know our finances/sponsorship better | 21:36 |
