2017-08-10 21:14:37 i haven't clicked but looks like that one. 2017-08-10 21:14:55 it still seems to have some unfinished parts 2017-08-10 21:15:05 yes, it's not finished yet. 2017-08-10 21:15:25 that being said, i like the flair of the two city center locations, even if space is scarce there 2017-08-10 21:15:31 it looks comfy 2017-08-10 21:15:55 yes, it won't be a traditional lgm with an auditorium, so we will have to organize the event in a different way. 2017-08-10 21:16:03 more oriented on working together. 2017-08-10 21:16:34 and having talks that are well focused and do not risk to get too crowded (but are very interesting for those who are there : - ) 2017-08-10 21:16:47 sounds liek a win-win to me :D 2017-08-10 21:17:43 * alewwb (~alewwb@cpc99158-walt23-2-0-cust114.13-2.cable.virginm.net) has joined 2017-08-10 21:18:03 for the website: there is already a fresh wordpress for 2018... 2017-08-10 21:18:14 * a-l-e--- heißt jetzt a-l-e 2017-08-10 21:18:27 hi there 2017-08-10 21:18:28 perhaps a bis if one reimagined the brussels lgm with 2/3rd the auditorium space,.. thus strengthening the hallway track 2017-08-10 21:18:42 do we have any entity that can write invoices or recipes? i wonder if one way to fund lgm would be to sell tickets. people would get nothing in return if they buy one, have no benefits and wouldn't be mentioned anywhere. it would however allow those that get sent by their employer (redhat, ...) to add some extra cost to their trip and help out 2017-08-10 21:18:53 s/bis if/bit like if/ 2017-08-10 21:19:02 brussels was great 2017-08-10 21:20:21 so, the "on topic" ale is now here : - ) 2017-08-10 21:21:19 hey :) 2017-08-10 21:21:22 alewwb, this is what has been said until now: https://quotidien.framapad.org/p/CHbjpLYRxB 2017-08-10 21:21:47 thanks 2017-08-10 21:21:55 (complete logs will be made available on https://houz.org/LGM/2018/ afterwards) 2017-08-10 21:23:27 ok, I've read it 2017-08-10 21:23:53 a-l-e: I think it would be good if we switch over to an empty/ghost-identiy wordpress with just the year - and maybe a link to the wiki, around a month after each lgm ends 2017-08-10 21:24:48 pippin, i would prefer if we improve the lgm/ site and switch to it with a prominent link to the latest lgm 2017-08-10 21:25:27 and then switch to the next one as soon as it is ready. 2017-08-10 21:26:03 so, alewwb anything to say? : - ) 2017-08-10 21:26:30 that also works, but with less direct incentive for the next year to improve the wordpress :) 2017-08-10 21:26:46 sorry guys, as I'm here in the chat I'm trying to create the grid of available spaces for the meeting 2017-08-10 21:27:01 because with that the discussion will be more productive 2017-08-10 21:27:21 ok 2017-08-10 21:27:29 should we do a 15 minutes break? 2017-08-10 21:28:47 no 2017-08-10 21:28:53 follow the conversation 2017-08-10 21:28:55 I'm ending 2017-08-10 21:35:31 I've updated the markdown 2017-08-10 21:35:40 with a image of a table 2017-08-10 21:35:57 you can see there the expected availability of the spaces during a weekend 2017-08-10 21:37:29 what are (T) and (A)? 2017-08-10 21:37:31 so, taking into account a LGM focused on small workgroups and specific presentations, that for me is quite fit for the characteristics of the proposal 2017-08-10 21:37:33 sorry 2017-08-10 21:37:36 T is Tramallol 2017-08-10 21:37:39 A is Anonima 2017-08-10 21:37:43 I forgot to put the legend 2017-08-10 21:38:05 do you think with these spaces we have a feasible proposal? 2017-08-10 21:38:20 or do we need more or diverse spaces in your opinion? 2017-08-10 21:38:34 it seems we always have a room for 60-70 people. that might work as the main lecture hall? 2017-08-10 21:38:43 not always 2017-08-10 21:39:14 (the "no projection" is because there is too much light in the room...) 2017-08-10 21:39:19 that room has some specificities 2017-08-10 21:39:41 it's situated in an open space connected to the main labour space in Tramallol 2017-08-10 21:40:01 so I think it would be kind not to use it in the mornings of working days 2017-08-10 21:40:11 does it have chairs/tables? 2017-08-10 21:40:14 yes 2017-08-10 21:40:22 a lot of chairs 2017-08-10 21:40:38 I think we can sort it out to get tables 2017-08-10 21:40:41 if needed 2017-08-10 21:40:50 it's not a big deal 2017-08-10 21:40:59 nah, i guess chairs are fine for lectures 2017-08-10 21:41:16 the other specificity is that in the mornings that room has a lot of sunlight 2017-08-10 21:41:26 it might difficult projections 2017-08-10 21:42:02 but the space in Anonima is same as big and we don't have any problem in there with light or compatibility of uses 2017-08-10 21:42:19 so max availability would be 2017-08-10 21:42:34 two big rooms plus a medium and a small ones 2017-08-10 21:42:36 i think that we can have three types of spaces: chairs for conferences; sofas (and some tables) for small talk; and chairs with tables for doing real work (and eventually workshops) 2017-08-10 21:43:19 one big room for confs; one big room mixed sofas + tables; one small room for working? 2017-08-10 21:43:24 woudl that work? 2017-08-10 21:43:37 yes 2017-08-10 21:43:43 anonima for conferences 2017-08-10 21:43:47 the 2nd oen would be similar to the top floor in brussels then? hanging out and talking 2017-08-10 21:43:52 tramallol big room for workshops 2017-08-10 21:44:01 tramallol medium and small room for small talks 2017-08-10 21:44:17 sorry houz 2017-08-10 21:44:23 I didnt' understand you 2017-08-10 21:44:28 oen? 2017-08-10 21:44:48 i was refereing to a-l-e' enumeration 2017-08-10 21:44:58 s/oen/one/ 2017-08-10 21:45:17 ;) 2017-08-10 21:45:40 both spaces are quite cozy and very suitable for that kind of atmosphere 2017-08-10 21:48:05 personally, i think if the informations above in the proposal we're close to be ready and propose it to the lgm people for discussion. 2017-08-10 21:48:59 for the opening I think we can manage a lecture room in an University building 2017-08-10 21:49:35 ... if needed... yes... having that option would be interesting! 2017-08-10 21:49:46 yes, if needed 2017-08-10 21:50:12 yes, it can be even interesting because it can call the attention of communication students 2017-08-10 21:50:18 maybe having a really room for 2 to 4 hours at the beginning could be nice. introductory talk, state of the union and maybe some sort of keynote. 2017-08-10 21:51:03 could Anonima space be that one? 2017-08-10 21:51:08 there's a picture in the markdown 2017-08-10 21:52:00 yeah it could also be. 2017-08-10 21:52:01 thing is, university is a bit away, so having a talk there and then all of us moving over is a little inconvenient 2017-08-10 21:52:17 you're right 2017-08-10 21:55:10 * ___colm has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) 2017-08-10 21:55:48 pippin, do you also have questions? 2017-08-10 21:55:56 remarks? 2017-08-10 22:01:21 the proposal is starting to look promising, :) a though though: perhaps the opening of lgm could be an afternoon in a university, with a social event in the evening of what will be the venue the rest of the days? 2017-08-10 22:01:41 s/of what will be/at what will be/ 2017-08-10 22:02:10 that makes more sense, we wouldn't have to switch places during the day 2017-08-10 22:02:50 and registration/opening in the afternoon makes it possible for some to fly in the day it starts, rather than the day before 2017-08-10 22:03:02 what kind of social event? 2017-08-10 22:05:05 well, we are social people... 2017-08-10 22:05:09 somehow :-) 2017-08-10 22:06:13 alewwb: anything from being a meeting up point for going for food/drinks, to possibly having a small reception at the venue with a minimal self catered coffee/tea/beer and hanging out there if possible 2017-08-10 22:06:31 but a social event might just a place we know it's big enough to fit many people and tell them people that they can get there in the evening. 2017-08-10 22:06:44 or something like pipppin is suggesting. 2017-08-10 22:06:55 no problem 2017-08-10 22:07:01 just trying to imagine 2017-08-10 22:07:08 Tramallol can be perfect for that 2017-08-10 22:07:22 we have a small bar and a kitchen there 2017-08-10 22:07:42 i also thought it could be possible :-) 2017-08-10 22:11:17 anyway, yes, starting on an afternoon @ the university might be an option. 2017-08-10 22:11:46 if we don't need it or if it cannot be done, the lgm will be at the two locations only. 2017-08-10 22:13:32 alewwb, do you need more input for finalizing the proposal? 2017-08-10 22:13:44 no, I don't think so 2017-08-10 22:13:54 we should make sure people register early on so we can do some educated guesses there 2017-08-10 22:13:56 i should be online tomorrow for most part of the day. 2017-08-10 22:14:08 ok 2017-08-10 22:14:43 but not in the evening 2017-08-10 22:15:24 ;) 2017-08-10 22:16:21 i can review your proposal and then i think it's time for submitting it to the lgm mailing list! 2017-08-10 22:17:22 ok 2017-08-10 22:18:00 ok, time to shut down for me! 2017-08-10 22:25:01 I'm leaving as well 2017-08-10 22:25:37 thanks for the updates :) 2017-08-10 22:25:51 thanks for your feedback!! 2017-08-10 22:25:58 it's quite precious 2017-08-10 22:26:00 ;) 2017-08-10 22:26:26 good night!
