IRC Meeting #6
Time/Location
The meeting will take place in the #europython channel on freenode on Thursday 13th March at 19:00 CET.
Agenda/Minutes
- Talks/Themes
Further theme discussion (need to group the themes and identify some good, distinct ones) - David suggests creating a list of ten or so core themes and asking people to suggest more as required
The length of talks - we keep the 30 vs. 60 minute slots and make 45 minute sessions fill the rest of the time with discussion
Any interest for tutorials - we should ask more widely to get an idea if people want this, or are interested in giving tutorials
Michael Sparks suggests having a day of open space - we considered that a whole day might be too unfocused, but half a day combined with tutorials, keynotes or ordinary sessions
- Workflow discussion (how the talks will be handled)
- Registration/Budget
- Progress of the test registration page
Progress of the budget and fees - Laura indicates that the 200 Euro per-person costs figure for sponsor events/tutorials would work again
Payment systems - investigations and discoveries - Laura is working with WorldPay to set up a payment mechanism
- Feedback/Surveys
- Progress on the processing of last year's surveys
- Sponsorship
Offers/packages/candidates - we need more information about costs from the venue for having booths, streamers, etc.
Potentially offer sponsors the opportunity to have their own SponsorSpaces in extra rooms at the venue, these only cost about 200 Euro per day and should be available.
