Organizing

Making the space safe
- TBD: print CoC
- Moderation team
- TBD: members
- TBD: contact info
- ACTION: intrigeri announces all this at least once a day
Misc
- ACTION: intrigeri asks access to the Mozilla space for orga team + helpers on Friday night, to set things up [WIP: waiting for answer]
- ACTION: Geb investigates how door and bell will be managed
- TBD: Check that we don't forget anything that's on:
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.
- ACTION: intrigeri asks jcristau a quote from Mozilla's usual caterer, making it clear that we want vegan [WIP]
- ACTION: intrigeri coordinates with taka and olasd wrt. food sponsorship [WIP]
Accommodation
- TBD: call for solidarity hosting
- TBD: match hosting requests with offers
- ACTION: jvoisin gets a quote from a (youth) hostel not so far away where we could book a dormitory or similar for 20 people, for the entire week-end
Finances
- ACTION: intrigeri looks for sponsorship [WIP]
- ACTION: intrigeri coordinates with olasd to try to find other sponsors, e.g. for food [WIP]
- 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
ACTION: intrigeri asks DebConf bursaries how they handle this kind of things
- ACTION: intrigeri lets a Debian Trusted Organization (Debian France?) know that there will be lots of requests
- receive and store requests, and at some point make a call
- manage reimbursements
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.
Sign language
ACTION: geb ask http://www.signotheque.arboresign.org/ for advices etc
- TBD: discuss this again once we have more info from potential attendees and from geb; random ideas:
- update the announcement if we can propose signing language translation
- Ask the association/translators company when can we confirm/cancel whether we need translators?
- "ask the DPL if we're free to reallocate part of the Debian sponsorship to translation into sign language, if needed?"
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 discusses with Hypra how the focus on accessibility technologies/usecases can be organized [WIP]
- TBD: document the skills needed to attend each station and display this information at front desk
- bug triaging: read and write enough English, install a Debian package
- graphics and design: TBD
- testing: TBD
Registration
Deadline for registering = March 30 ⇒ reply wrt. sponsorship and available room by April 7.
Work left to do:
- TBD: define a workflow for handling registration requests (where do we store the data?)
Questions
