2019-01-10 21:00:14<soenke> Hi there
2019-01-10 21:01:00<patdavid> howdy
2019-01-10 21:02:07<houz> hi
2019-01-10 21:02:07<gingercoons_> hey all
2019-01-10 21:02:18<soenke> Hi Pat, hope all is well, have been meaning to write to thank you for offering support in setting up the website, hope u are ok with what we have now :)
2019-01-10 21:03:27<soenke> everyone - we have a whopping 16 submissions as of this afternoon. That doesn't strike me as a very high figure. What is your experience - will more submissions come the last days before the deadline? Or should we extend the deadlineß
2019-01-10 21:04:08<houz> there are some more to come. one from darktable, one from klens, and some from pixls
2019-01-10 21:04:09<patdavid> Oh! I'm just happy you got something you like :)
2019-01-10 21:04:30<patdavid> i will likely have a BOF, presentation, and State Of submissions coming
2019-01-10 21:04:41<houz> i think the cfp wasn't really published at all this year, so i am glad that we got anything at all
2019-01-10 21:04:42<gingercoons_> submissions do often come in at the last minute. but it might be worth a reminder email to the mailing list as well
2019-01-10 21:04:53<patdavid> tehre may be some others from the pixls community, i need to see
2019-01-10 21:05:07<houz> patdavid: photowalk?
2019-01-10 21:05:09<patdavid> there was talk of a couple of projects presenting as well (G'MIC, PhotoFlow)
2019-01-10 21:05:27<patdavid> houz: yes, but i wasn't sure how best to submit that - should I use the submission form for that?
2019-01-10 21:05:39<houz> iirc we used the form in the past
2019-01-10 21:05:42* a-l-e (~a-l-e@213.55.176.163) has joined
2019-01-10 21:06:42<soenke> what do y'all suggest to circulate the cfp beyond the ldm list? Can someone post it via the lgm social media accounts for instance?
2019-01-10 21:06:52<soenke> sorry lgm list
2019-01-10 21:06:59<patdavid> houz: ok, i'll include it
2019-01-10 21:07:53<a-l-e> https://twitter.com/lgmeeting?lang=en
2019-01-10 21:08:15<a-l-e> lgm retweeted the lgw tweet...
2019-01-10 21:08:34<a-l-e> and tweeted on dec 20 : - =)

2019-01-10 21:08:58<gingercoons_> (sorry for the jinx, a-l-e :D )
2019-01-10 21:09:25<patdavid> pixls tweeted about it Jan 7
2019-01-10 21:09:49<patdavid> i'll tweet again now
2019-01-10 21:09:52<houz> create list might be a target, too
2019-01-10 21:10:11<houz> ah, twitter, i forgot that that is a thing
2019-01-10 21:10:21<patdavid> i can try GIMP twitter too
2019-01-10 21:11:30<houz> darktable twitter can retweet
2019-01-10 21:12:04<soenke> cool thx. never sure about the actual reach of twitter/fb/et al but am only on so many software-related mailing lists... so pls share widely if not already shared...
2019-01-10 21:12:30<houz> no, dt can't retweet, it asks me for a phone number to log in
2019-01-10 21:12:37* larisa (~lara@host-79-78-25-247.static.as9105.net) has joined
2019-01-10 21:12:43<soenke> hi lara :)
2019-01-10 21:12:51<larisa> hi all apologies for tardiness
2019-01-10 21:13:32<larisa> how's it going? how far did you get?
2019-01-10 21:13:36<soenke> Larisa, for the LGM in London, how many submissions did you get? We have 16 as of today
2019-01-10 21:14:16<larisa> mmm, that's low, we gotta up the marketing... i think we did not have more that 50 at the end
2019-01-10 21:14:21<larisa> but can have a look
2019-01-10 21:14:24<larisa> just a sec
2019-01-10 21:14:27<a-l-e> soenke, most of the submission come in at the end... normally...
2019-01-10 21:14:50<soenke> on the lgm twitter account - can someone change the head visual to 2019? logo is on the website
2019-01-10 21:15:09<soenke> ok... I thought this is the end :)
2019-01-10 21:15:22<a-l-e> ... i'll open an issue on github...
2019-01-10 21:15:56<gingercoons_> I've just done a new tweet in case anyone wants something fresh to RT
2019-01-10 21:16:58<soenke> just saw this https://www.pro-linux.de/news/1/26649/libre-graphics-meeting-2019-sucht-nach-beitr%C3%83%C6%92%C3%82%C2%A4gen.html and http://www.linux-magazin.de/news/libre-graphics-meeting-2019-sucht-noch-vortragende-und-helfer/ - thx to whoever posted that
2019-01-10 21:16:59<a-l-e> soenke, do you want this logo on twitter?
2019-01-10 21:17:01<a-l-e> https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2019/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/LGM_Logo_final_07-12-2018_final_03-weiss.svg
2019-01-10 21:17:05<soenke> sure
2019-01-10 21:17:19<larisa> it was 50 in the programme
2019-01-10 21:17:24<soenke> or some other version of that visual
2019-01-10 21:17:38<a-l-e> if have an wish, please add it to https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/infrastructure/issues/49
2019-01-10 21:17:42<a-l-e> : - )
2019-01-10 21:18:06<larisa> :-)
2019-01-10 21:19:29<larisa> i'll send it around afew mailing lists too
2019-01-10 21:19:51<soenke> ok asked Henrik to put it there
2019-01-10 21:20:22<soenke> ok assuming we DON'T change the deadline, do you want to schedule a program committee sessions already to go through submissions?
2019-01-10 21:21:17<larisa> it would be great to send a call for programme volunteers
2019-01-10 21:22:31<gingercoons_> definitely. we need to re-mobilize/re-form the programme committee
2019-01-10 21:22:34<houz> i'd add a deadline extension
2019-01-10 21:22:52<soenke> houz, what's a good new deadline?
2019-01-10 21:23:00<larisa> if there's not enough work submitted till 15th, we can move deadline for 23rd (next irc meeting) and use that to do most of the programme delegation and oorganising
2019-01-10 21:23:18<houz> dunno, it's just my gut feeling. making noise now and having the deadline in 5 days might be too short
2019-01-10 21:25:44<a-l-e> personally, i'd like a program committee that is a bit more active on filtering the propositions and helps the contributors to focus on interesting topics.
2019-01-10 21:26:17<a-l-e> last year i've heared of a few people that were not really happy with the first talks (i left early, so i don't know how it went on).
2019-01-10 21:26:20<gingercoons_> that's a departure from the previous method of accepting everything, as long as it's not spam
2019-01-10 21:26:38<a-l-e> yes and no.
2019-01-10 21:26:49<a-l-e> we can ask the people to better focus their talks.
2019-01-10 21:28:49<gingercoons_> one thing that some other (more conferency) events do is offer mentorship to new speakers by setting them up with people who have more experience
2019-01-10 21:28:52<soenke> another issue - sponsoring, I had no success in contacting IBM and RedHat, any suggestions? Also: other options? I Think Google might come thru again with funding f travel / video, Dave suggested that at least
2019-01-10 21:29:24<houz> did you manage to tap some public funding?
2019-01-10 21:31:05<larisa> how about mozilla? https://wiki.mozilla.org/MOSS
2019-01-10 21:35:07* jghali__ (~jghali@62.212.108.112) has joined
2019-01-10 21:35:13<soenke> public funding - yes, so we have basic stuff like venue costs, tech costs covered
2019-01-10 21:35:23* ChanServ gives channel operator status to jghali__
2019-01-10 21:35:43<houz> nice
2019-01-10 21:36:05<soenke> larisa, anyone have a direct mozilla contact? Going through generic channels didn't work elsewhere
2019-01-10 21:37:59<larisa> i have one contact but not in the funding crowd... was wondering if lgm would like to invite them formally to visit?
2019-01-10 21:38:23<larisa> and i can then build on that, it's worth a try
2019-01-10 21:38:45<soenke> that would be cool. we can also combine their visit at LGM with a visit at one of the IT research centers if that makes it easier to get them to come.. so pls try.
2019-01-10 21:38:56* jghali_ has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
2019-01-10 21:39:25<larisa> ok, i'll cc you in
2019-01-10 21:41:36<soenke> also fyi - we are working on a zero waste concept for the event, and will also publish a fair trade / organic food map of the city on the website. no worries, it'll include places like https://www.veganeria-sb.de/ and http://www.kalinskibrueder.de/ (vegan currywurst) and http://www.dieburgerei.de/ and tons of other stuff.
2019-01-10 21:42:13<soenke> and of course lots of cultural sites :)
2019-01-10 21:42:43<larisa> fab
2019-01-10 21:43:21<larisa> just to check - we're extending deadline on 15th?
2019-01-10 21:43:46<soenke> I think to Jan 23, which makes sense, no?
2019-01-10 21:44:23<larisa> im tweeting now...
2019-01-10 21:46:03<soenke> also: we have a media facade and various other options to display art works. Should we ask people to submit suggestions through the submission site or discuss this on the mailing list?
2019-01-10 21:48:31<a-l-e> soenke, for artwork i would do a separate submission form...
2019-01-10 21:50:19<soenke> ok. we can have a much later deadline for that as well. will specify the options (site media facade etc) and then create another form.
2019-01-10 21:51:28<soenke> ok anything else I can take back to the local team?
2019-01-10 21:52:08<a-l-e> sounds good
2019-01-10 21:52:36<larisa> +1
2019-01-10 21:53:01<soenke> ok then... how about: Gute Nacht for now?
2019-01-10 21:53:16<larisa> zuper ;-)
2019-01-10 21:54:28<soenke> best and thx to all
2019-01-10 21:55:02<a-l-e> gute nacht you all
