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 21:11:30 <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
