Bring
Please consider bringing:
- a computer and its power adaptor
- a power bar
- any friend who wants to contribute (they need to register too)
Organizing
Communication
- Orga team mailing list:
- Chat
- protocol: XMPP (Jabber)
server: conference.riseup.net
room: bsp
- use TLS/SSL to connect
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:
- ACTION: Geb investigates to find a easy way for people to register (account creation on this wiki currently requires emailing the admins)
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 olasd wrt. food sponsorship [WIP]
Accommodation
- TBD: call for solidarity hosting
- TBD: match hosting requests with offers
- ACTION: intrigeri gets a quote from a hostel 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 tries to find other sponsors, e.g. for food [WIP]
TBD: ensure we can sponsor at least travel for potential new contributors who need it (one doesn't get a diverse set of attendees if only old-timers get support)
- TBD: how to manage travel + accommodation sponsorship requests?
- 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
- -make it clear there's a budget for that in the various announcements-
- 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. E.g.
- testing the upcoming version and providing feedback; evaluating the state of translations and the support of accessibility technologies could be interesting focuses;
- triaging release blocking bugs (reproducing them, assessing their severity, pointing the relevant people to them);
- providing feedback about "the top N things I dislike the most in the current Debian release, that I very much hope will be fixed in the next one";
- collecting data relevant to the release notes.
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 Taka how the station about graphics and design can be organized [WIP]
- 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
Make it clear in our communication
- ACTION: intrigeri writes a few lines about each station
- design and graphics (to be confirmed)
Invites
TBD:
- people who could give a hand organizing (e.g. spreading the word and themselves inviting cool people)
- people we want to see there
Publicity
Announcement
ACTION: u reviews the draft /Announcement
TBD: document how one can ask for sponsorship
last year for DebConf, the question was asked in some quite well-thought way, i.e. something like "if you had to pay yourself, what would be the impact on your life? would you have to save money in advance specifically to be able to attend? would it be completely impossible?" etc.; we should do something similar
- ACTION: Geb integrates this question into the registration form
- ACTION: intrigeri points to the registration form from the announcement
- ACTION: u translates the announcement into French
ACTION: Geb will coordinate communication & publicity, and start to spread the word around Feb 15-18
We first want to reach out for the less-geeky/more diverse people => TBD: sort spreadsheet
We have a pad that's meant to list people & websites we want to send the announcement to. It's kept private as it contains social network information some of us prefer not to disclose publicly.
Misc.
Please link to mails, blog posts, tweets or other promotion done for the event.
TBD: Debian Project News
TBD: Debian's identi.ca
- TBD: Tails Twitter
