Making the space safe
- ACTION: jvoisin prints 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, spriver; backup if Solveig can't: geb & 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: Geb and Isydor investigate how door and bell will be managed, and give Mozilla the list of accepted attendees
TBD: Organize shifts so we always have one trusted person downstairs with a digital key to deal with the downstairs<->upstairs movement.
- TBD: organize frontdesk
- TBD: organize presentation of stations and hosts at the beginning of the event
TBD: Check 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.
- ACTION: intrigeri ensures jcristau confirms the catering [WIP: waiting]
- ACTION: isydor sums up the food+sponsorship situation to Debian France people and asks them if they want to organize+sponsor dinner on Saturday night for the subset of attendees who'll want to eat all together (probably not everyone on the orga team, and probably not all local attendees)
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
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 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
- ACTION: isydor and jonathan ensure we make a decision wrt. skill sharing / OpenPGP during the mid-April meeting, to the latest.
- 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: jvoisin notify Hypra about this fact
- ACTION: jonathan coordinates the skills sharing thing
