| 2018-01-11 20:31:30 | <a-l-e> well well... i've survived the christmas holidays... |

| 2018-01-11 20:32:10 | <alewwb> I got a cold |
| 2018-01-11 20:32:41 | * gregp_ (~gregp@2602:30a:2c97:5070::23) has joined |
| 2018-01-11 20:32:52 | <a-l-e> get well! |
| 2018-01-11 20:33:19 | <alewwb> hope so! Toilet paper is desappearing blazinly fast... |
| 2018-01-11 20:33:20 | <a-l-e> so, we will try not have a too long meeting so that you could have enough rest! |
| 2018-01-11 20:33:32 | <alewwb> that's a good idea, definitely |
| 2018-01-11 20:33:57 | <alewwb> so I wanted to comment the last news regarding venues and comment different workarounds we have |
| 2018-01-11 20:34:03 | <a-l-e> so, let's start with some "technical stuff"... |
| 2018-01-11 20:34:09 | <alewwb> ok |
| 2018-01-11 20:34:11 | <a-l-e> ... and wait for other people to show up. |
| 2018-01-11 20:34:15 | <alewwb> perfect |
| 2018-01-11 20:35:01 | <a-l-e> i've been working on the code manuel has created to convert the CFP submissions in blog entries we can use for the schedule (and eventually for planning) |
| 2018-01-11 20:35:10 | <a-l-e> it should be ready some time next week. |
| 2018-01-11 20:35:18 | <a-l-e> (i'm trying to do it 100% with free software) |
| 2018-01-11 20:35:36 | <alewwb> that's sounds sweet |
| 2018-01-11 20:35:51 | <alewwb> valuable tool! |
| 2018-01-11 20:36:58 | <a-l-e> theoretically the CFP is closed... |
| 2018-01-11 20:38:10 | <alewwb> ? |
| 2018-01-11 20:38:11 | <alewwb> no |
| 2018-01-11 20:38:18 | <alewwb> I think its' open till the end o the month |
| 2018-01-11 20:38:21 | <alewwb> ain't it? |
| 2018-01-11 20:38:30 | <a-l-e> http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2018/call-for-participation/ |
| 2018-01-11 20:38:32 | <mrscribe> Title: Call for Participation Libre Graphics Meeting (at libregraphicsmeeting.org) |
| 2018-01-11 20:38:41 | <a-l-e> "The deadline for submissions is the 10th January 2018, and participants will be notified by the end of January 2018." |
| 2018-01-11 20:38:59 | <alewwb> yes, yes |
| 2018-01-11 20:39:05 | <alewwb> I'm haing a look |
| 2018-01-11 20:39:08 | <a-l-e> there are 35 propositions... |
| 2018-01-11 20:39:34 | <alewwb> is it a good number in your opinion? |
| 2018-01-11 20:39:48 | <alewwb> in other meetings there were less or more? |
| 2018-01-11 20:40:22 | <a-l-e> probably more... but i'm happy if we have fewer of them... |
| 2018-01-11 20:40:23 | * albert (~albert@175.pool85-61-195.dynamic.orange.es) has joined |
| 2018-01-11 20:40:28 | <a-l-e> if the quality is good enough... |
| 2018-01-11 20:40:31 | <alewwb> ok |
| 2018-01-11 20:40:46 | <albert> hi! |
| 2018-01-11 20:40:57 | <alewwb> hi albert! |
| 2018-01-11 20:41:12 | <gregp_> There were about 50 talks in London |
| 2018-01-11 20:41:47 | <a-l-e> personally, i would suggest to consider the cfp closed but accept proposition that would come in before the end of the month... |
| 2018-01-11 20:41:48 | <alewwb> ok |
| 2018-01-11 20:41:57 | <pippin> on the sponsorship front.. I must say the strings-attached sponsorship money from google, replacing volunteers (there were video bofs in london though I didn't attend) was already disruptive :| |
| 2018-01-11 20:43:48 | <a-l-e> (2016 has 77 entries in the schedule...) |
| 2018-01-11 20:44:56 | <a-l-e> i can try to produce a summary a summary of the CFP before the end of the weekend |
| 2018-01-11 20:45:16 | <alewwb> that would be great |
| 2018-01-11 20:46:08 | <pippin> should we try to do a final round of encouragement up towards say friday or saturday for additional content? |
| 2018-01-11 20:46:18 | <a-l-e> i would not... |
| 2018-01-11 20:46:49 | <a-l-e> but, as said, it depends on the quality of the 35 proposals. |
| 2018-01-11 20:47:56 | <alewwb> somehow it's related to the venue issue |
| 2018-01-11 20:48:10 | <alewwb> both issues are entangled right now |
| 2018-01-11 20:48:59 | <a-l-e> so we can go over to the venue / sponsoring issue : - ) |
| 2018-01-11 20:49:17 | <alewwb> yes |
| 2018-01-11 20:49:19 | <alewwb> :) |
| 2018-01-11 20:50:07 | <alewwb> as I told you Anonima doesn't feel comfy hosting an event backed up by Google, so we have to think in some workarounds to host the programme |
| 2018-01-11 20:50:48 | <alewwb> I'm taking for granted the funding will happen) |
| 2018-01-11 20:51:17 | <alewwb> so we have thought about some alternatives: |
| 2018-01-11 20:51:36 | <alewwb> 1.- Faculty of Communication is quite happy of hosting us and they will provide more than enough space |
| 2018-01-11 20:52:01 | <alewwb> but we have the problem of the weekend |
| 2018-01-11 20:52:14 | <alewwb> we can use the space on Saturdays |
| 2018-01-11 20:52:29 | <alewwb> but it's possible not have access to any sound system there |
| 2018-01-11 20:52:38 | <alewwb> because they only work with their own technicians |
| 2018-01-11 20:52:47 | <alewwb> and they don't work on Saturday |
| 2018-01-11 20:53:05 | <alewwb> so we have two options in my opinion: |
| 2018-01-11 20:53:15 | <alewwb> inside this alternative) |
| 2018-01-11 20:54:04 | <alewwb> - We move forward the whole event one day. Use the Faculty on Wednesday (presentation), Thursday and Friday (programme) |
| 2018-01-11 20:54:17 | <alewwb> and we end the weekend in Tramallol |
| 2018-01-11 20:54:25 | <alewwb> with a less intense programme |
| 2018-01-11 20:54:55 | <alewwb> - We keep the time schedule. And we use the Faculty Saturday as well trying to find some workaround for the sound. |
| 2018-01-11 20:55:09 | <a-l-e> or we keep the dates as they are... |
| 2018-01-11 20:55:33 | <alewwb> I agree to move dates is a bit risky and probably something to be avoided |
| 2018-01-11 20:55:40 | <a-l-e> and then we have to days with talks at the university and two days of "meeting" at tramallol... |
| 2018-01-11 20:56:02 | <a-l-e> there are people who already booked flat and travelling... |
| 2018-01-11 20:56:14 | <alewwb> yeah, definitely |
| 2018-01-11 20:56:23 | <alewwb> we have the problem of sound |
| 2018-01-11 20:56:29 | <a-l-e> i guess that those people are getting to sevilla a few days before the beginning but i'm not 100% sure. |
| 2018-01-11 20:56:29 | <alewwb> but |
| 2018-01-11 20:56:38 | <alewwb> we have another option to be explored |
| 2018-01-11 20:56:53 | <alewwb> there's a palace in the center |
| 2018-01-11 20:56:57 | <a-l-e> does the sound problem affect thu/fri @ university? |
| 2018-01-11 20:57:00 | <alewwb> a cultural center of the Municipality |
| 2018-01-11 20:57:04 | <alewwb> nope |
| 2018-01-11 20:57:11 | <alewwb> only Saturday |
| 2018-01-11 20:57:27 | <alewwb> but Thursday is for the presentation only, isn't it? |
| 2018-01-11 20:58:05 | <pippin> the sum of the constraints will tell us how to shuffle the schedule |
| 2018-01-11 20:58:37 | <a-l-e> we can have talks on thu... that should not be a problem... |
| 2018-01-11 20:58:48 | <alewwb> that would be great |
| 2018-01-11 20:59:13 | <alewwb> and Saturday in Tramallol? |
| 2018-01-11 20:59:28 | <a-l-e> and monday? |
| 2018-01-11 20:59:36 | <alewwb> we can go the Faculty again |
| 2018-01-11 20:59:49 | <a-l-e> i think that could work... |
| 2018-01-11 21:00:12 | <alewwb> ok |
| 2018-01-11 21:00:24 | <alewwb> and in your opinion, how many spaces do we need in the Faculty |
| 2018-01-11 21:00:30 | <alewwb> we have to make the reservations asap |
| 2018-01-11 21:00:32 | <a-l-e> and we probably need a place open on sunday but we don't need a schedule for that day (except if we have too many propositions) |
| 2018-01-11 21:00:51 | <alewwb> on Sunday we can use Tramallol as well |
| 2018-01-11 21:00:59 | <a-l-e> fine |
| 2018-01-11 21:02:25 | <a-l-e> i would say that we need at least one lecture hall, one workshop room and two / three rooms where people can sit down and work together... |
| 2018-01-11 21:02:41 | <alewwb> as ok |
| 2018-01-11 21:02:45 | <gregp_> the website says 26-30 -- what about Monday the 30th? |
| 2018-01-11 21:03:49 | <gregp_> this is longer than many LGMs have been |
| 2018-01-11 21:04:04 | <a-l-e> personally, i would be happy with thu / fri with a conference schedule and sat / mon with few workshops and meetings... eventually also conferencese on mooday if we have lot of them. |
| 2018-01-11 21:05:53 | <alewwb> i will use Sunday to fulfill programme |
| 2018-01-11 21:06:08 | <alewwb> and Sunday for a final meeting and some sessions to finalize? |
| 2018-01-11 21:06:20 | <alewwb> I *would* use |
| 2018-01-11 21:06:22 | <alewwb> :) |
| 2018-01-11 21:06:32 | <alewwb> and *Monday* |
| 2018-01-11 21:07:44 | * albert has quit (Quit: Saliendo) |
| 2018-01-11 21:07:52 | * patdavid_m (patdavidma@gateway/shell/matrix.org/x-pzkoejilqzjzcdiq) has joined |
| 2018-01-11 21:07:54 | <a-l-e> i think that we should first have rough look at what we have for propositions... |
| 2018-01-11 21:08:19 | <a-l-e> ... but your plans seems sane to me : - ) |
| 2018-01-11 21:08:30 | <alewwb> ok, I can dedicate some time this weekend to the program as well |
| 2018-01-11 21:08:48 | <alewwb> we could brainstorm a bit around both things |
| 2018-01-11 21:09:23 | <alewwb> but I think we'll reservate Faculty spaces having in mind the worst scenario |
| 2018-01-11 21:09:39 | <alewwb> and eventually drop the spaces we don't need |
| 2018-01-11 21:09:45 | <a-l-e> yep... i'm probably around... i'll try to send a summary of the proposals to the lgm list tomorrow. |
| 2018-01-11 21:09:53 | <a-l-e> yes, that's ok |
| 2018-01-11 21:10:21 | <ankh> so, a separate call for workshop/tutorial proposals sounds appropriate? and reserve a few slots for "late breaking" talks? |
| 2018-01-11 21:10:55 | * gregp_ has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) |
| 2018-01-11 21:11:08 | <a-l-e> no, the workshops should have been in the current call... and there are for sure a few workshop propositions among the entries. |
| 2018-01-11 21:11:17 | <alewwb> I've seen a lot |
| 2018-01-11 21:11:20 | <ankh> oh ok |
| 2018-01-11 21:11:32 | <alewwb> probably more workshops than regular talks |
| 2018-01-11 21:11:58 | <alewwb> so if we start on Thursday we'll start in the morning or in the afternoon? |
| 2018-01-11 21:12:48 | <alewwb> I'm tempted to think it depends on the number of proposals, but probably there will be people arriving that morning |
| 2018-01-11 21:13:08 | <a-l-e> yes, i think it depends on the number and type of proposals... i guess... |
| 2018-01-11 21:14:36 | <alewwb> ok |
| 2018-01-11 21:14:43 | <alewwb> we'll reservate the morning just in case |
| 2018-01-11 21:17:35 | * jghali has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) |

| 2018-01-11 21:18:07 | <a-l-e> ok, then we need to figure out the state of the CFP and make a rough plan for the locations... |
| 2018-01-11 21:18:08 | * ChanServ gives channel operator status to jghali |
| 2018-01-11 21:18:42 | <alewwb> we've a first event on February 24th about video and FLOSS software at Tramallol |
| 2018-01-11 21:18:45 | <a-l-e> should be have a next meeting next week to make decisions? |
| 2018-01-11 21:18:51 | <alewwb> yes |
| 2018-01-11 21:18:57 | <alewwb> indeed |
| 2018-01-11 21:19:33 | <alewwb> I'm travelling next week but I'll try to connect |
| 2018-01-11 21:19:47 | <a-l-e> i'm free on wed evening... |
| 2018-01-11 21:20:02 | <alewwb> for me Wednesday is good |

| 2018-01-11 21:21:32 | <a-l-e> that should be fine... |
