(CCing Andreas and Karen from the board; and Allan and Emmanuele from the papers committee)
We are going to visit Faculty of Information Technology, Brno University of Technology (ie. the GUADEC venue) on this Friday, 19th April (ie. tomorrow) at 16:30. Some of us will be going there earlier (around 15:30) to meet the Super Lectures team who are only present till 16:00.
We went there yesterday, and there are a few items that came out of the visit that I thought would be good to share with all of you. The current draft of the contract has the following 4 rooms for the first part of the conference: - A huge auditorium - 1 x 150 seater - 1 x 90 seater - 1 x 70 seater However, if we want there is another 150 seater that we can use. Since the paper committee wants to have only 2 parallel tracks, I think we should replace the 90 and 70 seater rooms with this second 150 seater. Allan, Emmanuele, what do you think? We need to add the fact that we will be recording the talks in the contract with the university. We need to pay 2 hours worth of labour to the lady who will be setting up the cameras and then transferring the raw video data to Super Lectures for post-processing. Josef said he will look into this, and find out the exact amount. As part of our contract with Super Lectures, they will host the videos for a year on their own infrastructure. eg., http://www.superlectures.com/linuxalt2012/ They will also be giving us the post-processed files which we can put on Youtube or somewhere else. Does the GNOME Foundation have any opinion on this? Where should the Advisory Board meet? We saw a nice room at the university which is suitable for this, but then we will have to add it to the contract. Otherwise we can hold it at the Red Hat offices. We can discuss these here or during next week's meeting. Cheers, Debarshi -- Life is like bein' on a mule team. Unless you're the lead mule, all the scenery looks about the same.
