2018-03-07 21:11:47 <alewwb>	hi there!
2018-03-07 21:11:57 *	laraaaa (~lara@host-79-78-25-247.static.as9105.net) has joined
2018-03-07 21:12:44 <alewwb>	is there anybody here for today's IRC session?
2018-03-07 21:14:53 <laraaaa>	moi
2018-03-07 21:15:02 <alewwb>	great :)
2018-03-07 21:15:10 <laraaaa>	but more to lurk :)
2018-03-07 21:15:38 <alewwb>	:)
2018-03-07 21:15:41 <laraaaa>	but if there's no one else - what was the agenda for tonight?
2018-03-07 21:15:54 *	igor_novikov has quit (Quit: Page closed)
2018-03-07 21:16:09 <alewwb>	I thought in giving an update
2018-03-07 21:16:24 <alewwb>	and the most important thing is to create a small comission to work on the program
2018-03-07 21:16:31 *	igor_novikov (5275ec1c@gateway/web/freenode/ip.82.117.236.28) has joined
2018-03-07 21:16:39 <alewwb>	to match program and time and spaces
2018-03-07 21:16:46 <laraaaa>	ok, lets wait for a wee bit and see who else show up
2018-03-07 21:16:53 <alewwb>	and set a date to work on that
2018-03-07 21:17:10 <alewwb>	meanwhile we can talk a bit about the letter of invitation :)
2018-03-07 21:17:24 <alewwb>	because I was looking the reference you sent me
2018-03-07 21:17:34 <laraaaa>	sure
2018-03-07 21:17:40 <alewwb>	and I don't know if that is what we need
2018-03-07 21:17:54 <laraaaa>	let me check it again
2018-03-07 21:17:57 <alewwb>	that letter of invitation is one asked by the Spanish authorities
2018-03-07 21:18:08 <alewwb>	when you cannot show a reservation in a hotel
2018-03-07 21:18:24 <alewwb>	in the case of sleeping in somebody's house, for instance
2018-03-07 21:18:32 <alewwb>	and it's expeded by the police
2018-03-07 21:18:44 <alewwb>	I cannot write it
2018-03-07 21:19:10 <laraaaa>	in my experience with visas (an boy there were many) it was normal from a host organisation to write up a letter confirming participation
2018-03-07 21:19:28 <alewwb>	ok
2018-03-07 21:19:36 <alewwb>	so we write it, not the police
2018-03-07 21:19:38 <gwidion>	hello
2018-03-07 21:19:42 <laraaaa>	then the rest is up to the person travelling to wherever
2018-03-07 21:19:51 <alewwb>	hi gwidion
2018-03-07 21:19:55 <laraaaa>	yup, that was normally the case
2018-03-07 21:19:59 <laraaaa>	hiya
2018-03-07 21:20:11 <laraaaa>	but let me check that website
2018-03-07 21:20:17 <gwidion>	so - let's write up some schedule!
2018-03-07 21:20:22 <alewwb>	:)
2018-03-07 21:20:39 <igor_novikov>	hi all!
2018-03-07 21:21:05 <igor_novikov>	about website - please fix IRC address
2018-03-07 21:21:27 <alewwb>	right now, :)
2018-03-07 21:21:47 <igor_novikov>	it's not a good providing traffic for fishing sites
2018-03-07 21:23:25 <alewwb>	ok, done, thanks for the feedback :)
2018-03-07 21:23:53 <laraaaa>	ok, just one quick note for the invitation letter - on spanish consulate in london - it actually does not say one needs a letter, however, they do say that it may be the case pending individual circumstances...
2018-03-07 21:24:15 <alewwb>	I think it's the case of some countries
2018-03-07 21:24:26 <laraaaa>	so i reckon, what you wrote is okay as an evidence that people who may need to apply for visa, have a reason for travel...
2018-03-07 21:24:38 <alewwb>	there're two ppl right now that asked for LOI
2018-03-07 21:25:24 <alewwb>	as I see, the letter of invitation that I talked about is needed to enter not to go out
2018-03-07 21:25:29 <laraaaa>	that is not too much work then :)
2018-03-07 21:25:48 <alewwb>	ok then
2018-03-07 21:26:07 <alewwb>	I'll send it and let's see if its valid
2018-03-07 21:26:32 <alewwb>	regarding schedule, gwidion
2018-03-07 21:26:47 <alewwb>	I was thinking in giving a brief update for our side
2018-03-07 21:26:56 <alewwb>	and to set a group to work on program
2018-03-07 21:27:00 <alewwb>	and a date to do it
2018-03-07 21:27:08 <alewwb>	it should be a short IRC session
2018-03-07 21:27:21 <alewwb>	we've to check igor_novikov proposal, as well
2018-03-07 21:27:57 <igor_novikov>	that would be great :)
2018-03-07 21:28:20 <alewwb>	maybe we can do it that first so you don't have to stay to all the chat
2018-03-07 21:29:27 <igor_novikov>	well, we spent 5 years for sK1 2.0 development and would like to announce the result
2018-03-07 21:29:44 <alewwb>	sounds great
2018-03-07 21:30:29 <igor_novikov>	also people could be interested by _export_ into CDR file format ;)
2018-03-07 21:31:56 <alewwb>	from my side I don't have any problem in accepting another presentation outside the deadline, we've been quite flexible with that and we've more than enough space and time
2018-03-07 21:32:35 <alewwb>	what kind of format are you thinking about?
2018-03-07 21:33:07 <igor_novikov>	We don't need long-term presentation. Just 5-10 min, no more
2018-03-07 21:34:36 <alewwb>	as gwidion commented it might fit into a BoF
2018-03-07 21:34:46 <alewwb>	and into the State of the Libre Graphics session
2018-03-07 21:34:59 <igor_novikov>	sure
2018-03-07 21:37:01 <alewwb>	I think you can fill the participation form so we can have more information about your proposal and we can study it a bit
2018-03-07 21:37:34 <igor_novikov>	where is the form?
2018-03-07 21:38:02 <igor_novikov>	I cannot find it on the website
2018-03-07 21:38:12 <alewwb>	because it's closed :)
2018-03-07 21:38:14 <alewwb>	wait a second
2018-03-07 21:39:54 <alewwb>	ok, I've to check something I will open it after this meeting and I send you the link by email
2018-03-07 21:40:05 <alewwb>	so you can send the proposal
2018-03-07 21:40:10 <igor_novikov>	great!
2018-03-07 21:40:48 <alewwb>	so we might focus on program right now? gwidion laraaaa ?
2018-03-07 21:41:34 <igor_novikov>	see you! ;)
2018-03-07 21:41:47 <alewwb>	see you, igor_novikov ! :)
2018-03-07 21:43:51 *	ankh still tempted to offer scanning-for-print & large-image bof, thought the deadline had long passed
2018-03-07 21:48:20 <alewwb>	so, a quick update
2018-03-07 21:48:43 <alewwb>	btw, ankh there's space for BoFs)
2018-03-07 21:48:57 <alewwb>	we've replied to all the proposals right now
2018-03-07 21:49:19 <alewwb>	we're waiting for feedback in some cases
2018-03-07 21:49:33 *	flevopolder has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
2018-03-07 21:50:19 *	flevopolder (~r@2001:981:d120:1:83:4ff:fe82:b306) has joined
2018-03-07 21:50:52 <alewwb>	Ale was working on this part as well, but he needs time to end other tasks and he's a bit out right now
2018-03-07 21:51:08 <alewwb>	so we need to create some kind of small comission to end the program part
2018-03-07 21:51:17 <alewwb>	basically to match possible slots and program proposals
2018-03-07 21:51:59 <alewwb>	and we need to set a day to do it —I don't think we'll need more time—
2018-03-07 21:52:33 <alewwb>	at the other hand the local team is working on some previous sessions
2018-03-07 21:52:54 <alewwb>	to promote the meeting and connect it to local communities
2018-03-07 21:53:00 <alewwb>	+we've the second one this Saturday
2018-03-07 21:53:07 <alewwb>	and next one on 19th March
2018-03-07 21:53:18 <alewwb>	after that we'll focus on the meeting itself
2018-03-07 21:53:23 <alewwb>	communication and logistics
2018-03-07 21:53:45 <alewwb>	so that's the state of the question right now
2018-03-07 21:54:23 <alewwb>	"state of the question" probably doesn't make any sense in English :)
2018-03-07 21:54:28 <alewwb>	that's my update
2018-03-07 21:55:07 <alewwb>	is anybody out there? or am I ranting alone? :)
2018-03-07 21:56:15 <laraaaa>	no, you're not alone :)
2018-03-07 21:57:11 <alewwb>	great
2018-03-07 21:57:15 <alewwb>	:)
2018-03-07 21:57:50 <laraaaa>	sounds like you have a plan in place - hope the stuff i sent you will help for local organisation
2018-03-07 21:57:59 <laraaaa>	there are some pretty detailed lists
2018-03-07 21:58:07 <alewwb>	ok
2018-03-07 21:58:43 <laraaaa>	also, i did not confirm, i can confirm now - i am arriving on 25th

2018-03-07 21:59:05 <alewwb>	I haven't checked them all
2018-03-07 21:59:06 <alewwb>	ok
2018-03-07 22:00:10 <laraaaa>	all-task-list is pretty useful
2018-03-07 22:00:27 <laraaaa>	that is for the venues, like a check-list
2018-03-07 22:00:59 <alewwb>	great
2018-03-07 22:00:59 <alewwb>	:)
2018-03-07 22:00:59 <alewwb>	I'm having a look at it right now
2018-03-07 22:01:07 <houz>	reading backlog, a 5 minute talk could be a lightning talk?
2018-03-07 22:01:11 <laraaaa>	there is a press release, but it is theme specific, so it will need some work
2018-03-07 22:01:50 <alewwb>	ok, we didn't talk about press releases in the local group yet
2018-03-07 22:01:52 <alewwb>	that will be useful

2018-03-07 22:04:06 <alewwb>	no, I don't know and I want to know as well
2018-03-07 22:05:22 <alewwb>	I think Dave and Jehan are the ones to tell us the updates about that issue, but I think they aren't here
2018-03-07 22:07:27 <houz>	at least jehan said that he won't have time before hand
2018-03-07 22:12:10 <alewwb>	so anybody here wants to participate in the program comisssion?
2018-03-07 22:14:19 *	igor_novikov has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
