== Meeting summary ==
=== Registration ===
Progress good, still need to solve:
* identity server integration
* design & layout issues
* whether we should include statistics
* deployment to registration.guadec.org
=== Announcement / promotion / outreach ===
We should focus on internet promotion first as international people
need to book travel well in advance usually.
UK wide promotion slightly later (but at least 3 months in advance...
so by May).
Ideas:
* Linux Format magazine -- Alberto to contact
* Linux Action Show -- Alberto to contact (has tried once)
* http://www.lug.org.uk
* Local coworking spaces -- a poster would be good for this
* University cs depts -- poster would be good
* Local computer shops -- a leaflet/poster
=== Contacting previous contributors ===
We want to invite previous contributors to the 20th birthday party
event.
How do we identify who to contact?
* Start with Foundation Emeritus members:
https://wiki.gnome.org/MembershipCommittee/EmeritusMembers
* Then look further afield
We need more details about the event; but the venue depends on
sponsorship partly so hard to include a location in the invite.
We could pick a venue and see if the Foundation will agree to
guarantee the funds in the case that we don't get a sponsor for it.
We should get the Engagement Team involved here.
Lene has done some event planning & could join one of our meetings
=== Sponsorship brochure ===
We have 1 sponsor already who have asked for details of events they
could sponsor.
What options are there?
* birthday party
* snacks & drinks
* during the bofs
* during the core days
* "swag", i.e. conference bags
* raffle prizes -- we already have an offer of some devices that we
could raffle off
* ice cream van (and/or waffles :-)
We should tie this down soon so we can put it in the brochure.
=== Sponsor contract ===
The Foundation will have a contract used in previous years.
Who is the agreement with? We don't have a legal entity here.
* We could set one up ... apparently it's easy, and we did most of
the work already to get a bank account
* Could the Foundation itself sign?
=== Next accommodation deposit ===
Due end of February. Maybe we can extend, since we've not been able
to take any accommodation bookings due to registration not being open?
=== Keynotes ===
Sam contacted 1 person so far, no response.
=== Unconference days ===
We need to (re)visit The Shed in person to plan how these will work a
bit better.
== Next meeting ==
Next meeting will be Monday 20th February at 18:00 in
