Organizing

Communication

Making the space safe

  • Code of Conduct

    • ACTION: jvoisin prints 60 copies of the CoC in both languages and brings it 1st thing on May 13
  • Moderation team
    • We have 4 volunteers already, and agreed on a list of 4 more people we would like to see on this team too.
    • DONE: 4 more agreed
    • TBD: contact info (the moderation team self-organizes whatever contact info they want to provide)
  • ACTION: intrigeri announces all this at least once a day

Misc

  • ACTION: Every organizer who can meets at 5pm on Friday night in front of Mozilla Paris. Then 3-4 of us (jonathan, Solveig, isydor + 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.
  • ACTION: shopping on Friday
    • 7 external USB keyboards (for the accessibility station)
    • 25 USB sticks we can install Debian or the Debian Installer on: 16GB, rather fast e.g. Kingston ?DataTraveler G4 16Go or Toshiba ?TransMemory U202 16 Go (10€ each at rue Montgallet)

  • ACTION: intrigeri ensures that we organize the following on Friday evening:
    • TBD: 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.
    • ACTION: isydor prints a list of participants with (nick)names and mail addresses
    • TBD: organize frontdesk
    • TBD: put at the frontdesk the kakemono and flyers from logilab
    • TBD: organize presentation of stations and hosts at the beginning of the event
  • ACTION: isydor checks that we don't forget anything that's on Comment organiser un événement technique pour un public hétérogène : une approche globale

Food

We want to provide a lunch on both days. It shall be vegan to simplify handling diverse diet. The attendees table has a column for other diet desires and needs.

  • TBD: provide a list of restaurants for participants that want to have dinner together on Saturday night.

Accommodation

  • ACTION: 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
  • ACTION: intrigeri prints the logilab job offer poster & display it at frontdesk.

  • ACTION: isydor checks with sponsors what they want us to do aside of putting their name on the wiki [WIP]

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.

  • ACTION: 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
  • ACTION: 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

Registration

The deadline for registering is now over.

Thanks for your interest but we already received more registrations than the number we can host and will have to refuse some.

Deadline for registering = end of March ⇒ reply wrt. sponsorship and available room by April 7.
