Making the space safe
- DONE: jvoisin prints 60 copies of the CoC in both languages and brings it 1st thing on May 13

- DONE: 4 more agreed
- DONE: contact info (the moderation team self-organizes whatever contact info they want to provide)
- DONE: intrigeri announces all this at least once a day
Misc
- DONE: Every organizer who can meets at 5pm on Friday night in front of Mozilla Paris. Then 3-4 of us (jonathan, Solveig, i + geb or intrigeri; backup if Solveig can't: geb or intrigeri) move inside and do everything they can to get to know the space and set it up. The others stay around (outside) in case shopping or more hands are needed. Then we have dinner together and go to bed early.
- DONE: shopping on Friday
- DONE: intrigeri ensures that we organize the following on Friday evening:
- DONE: Door management: Have someone downstairs when we expect the most people to arrive. Then put a phone number for them to call so that we can ask the guard - that will be there all day - to, or go downstairs to let them in.
- DONE: organize frontdesk
- DONE: put at the frontdesk the kakemono and flyers from logilab
- DONE: organize presentation of stations and hosts at the beginning of the event
DONE: Check that we don't forget anything that's on Comment organiser un événement technique pour un public hétérogène : une approche globale
Food

- DONE: provide a list of restaurants for participants that want to have dinner together on Saturday night.
Accommodation
- DONE: jvoisin is the go-to person regarding the rented flat.
Finances
- Managing travel + accommodation sponsorship requests
see #Registration
- selection criteria = a mix of being part of an under-represented/dominated group; travel cost (because sometimes it's better to bring 2 people rather than 1); relevance to Debian (e.g. specific skills, or highly motivated); how much sponsorship helps attending / is needed
- Debian France will act as the "Debian Trusted Organization" and will handle reimbursements
receive and store requests
- manage reimbursements
DONE: intrigeri prints the logilab job offer poster & display it at frontdesk.
Optimizing for a broader public
(i.e. not only Debian developers)
Reach out to, and properly welcome, people who can contribute to the quality assurance effort, with their pre-existing skills, in other ways than fixing bugs and uploading packages.
Make it real once we're there
There will be people committing to host a station, i.e. holding some physical space dedicated to people with a given set of skills, and making it welcoming and productive.
- DONE: intrigeri documents the skills needed to attend each station, prints it and displays this information at front desk
- bug triaging: read and write enough English, install a Debian package
- graphics and design: HTML/CSS and/or graphics software (such as GIMP, Inkscape, etc.)
- testing: basic computer (not necessarily Linux) usage
- DONE: jvoisin is the go-to person for people who need someone to accompany them etc. (e.g. blind people); he relays to us whatever he can't handle alone, and we'll organize shifts or something.
- ACTION: jonathan coordinates the skills sharing thing

Reports and evaluation
Reports
Reports, blog posts, photos etc.:
Report in two parts: #1 essentially what's on the pad, a bit polished and wrapped up nicely. #2 data analysis & conclusions (see evaluation below) (and possibly #3 email the attendees who were new to Debian & want to contribute to ask if they found how to do so?)
- TBD: intrigeri drafts #1 until July 23. The pad is locked this week.
- TBD: isydor leads the review → agreement → publication process
- First on the wiki, then relayed by intrigeri to Planet Debian and/or (ask boutil) on the official Debian blog. "Write to debian-publicity mailing list when you have an almost ready version, and we can work together the final details"

Evaluation
Juliette graphs the stats from the survey attendees have completed
- TBD: isydor pings juliettte, asks if she can do it by the end of August, and if she can't then one of us can do it. Intrigeri could do it.
