EuroPython Orga Meeting 23rd January 2006
----------------------------------------------
Time & Location: #europython 23rd Jan 2006, 5pm-6pm CET
Attendees: Paul Everitt, Michael Hudson, Benedikt Hegner,
Holger Krekel (moderation), Aiste Kesminaite,
Jacob Hallen, Alexander Schremm (xorAxAx),
Christian Scholz (MrTopf), Harald Armin Massa (ghum)
the meeting was ad-hoc moderated by holger.
* Discussion about "Zope" track
Paul suggests to go for a "Web Frameworks Track" instead
of limiting it to Zope. He thinks that this should
help to get more cross-pollination going within the
python web framework communities. There would likely
be a quota on Zope talks then. The ideas were welcomed
by the attendees and will likely be followed up
on the mailing list and on the upcoming track chair
meeting.
* conference fees
Benedikt sent a mail to the EuroPython list short before
the meeting about price calculations. Apart from the
fact that a some people want higher speaker prices
the prices are reasonable. The fee calculations should
be decided upon at the next EuroPython Meeting.
* deadlines
The meeting came up with the following rought timeline:
15th February Call for Proposals
March Opening online Registration (Payment issue pending!)
31st March Deadline for proposal submissions
30th April Prelininary Program with accepted talks
19th May Closing Early Bird registration
* Renaming EuroPython to Pycon idea
Holger mentions the idea of renaming EuroPython to Pycon.
The idea is generally welcomed but a number of people think
that we should not tackle this for 2006. Everybody agrees
that heading for some more discussions with organisers
from non-europe Python conferences e.g. at Pycon 2006
makes sense. The guiding idea is to have a worldwide
naming/context umbrella for Python conferences.
* next dates:
31st January 5pm Track-Chair Meeting (moderation + agenda: Michael)
6th February 5pm EuroPython Meeting (moderation + agenda: Aiste)
somewhat open topics:
* decision/procedures on conference software (favourite seems
to be Benedikt's CERN solution for now)
* followup on payment procedures/accounts (IBAN + Creditcard
payment possibilities desired)
* Website ???
