Re: las-gnome LAS 2018 Planning & 3.26 Release Party in SF this weekend

Hi,

Scaled back is good, both for the meeting and for the party. Ferry Building is relatively BART accessible, which is a huge bonus.

Before I forget, what about GiNA for the name? Stands for GNOME in North America. So we could use it to describe whatever we wanted, eg. The GiNA Summit, The GiNA Conference, The GiNA Hootenanny, etc. (Alternately, it could stand for "GINA Is Not an Acronym" ;) )

Hi All, 

This weekend is the date we originally set aside to meet up to do more active planning for LAS 2018 and also to hold our 3.26 Release Party. 

Since Cosimo and I are leaving for an extended travel period for work the week after, we would really appreciate having at least one weekend day to finish packing. So, here's an updated proposal for what this weekend could look like. 

Please let me know what you think and if the schedule would work for you. Thank you!!

Best, 

Nuritzi

Meeting Logistics

  We can order in lunch at the office. After the meeting, we can head over to the release party together.
  
  @Link - I'm happy to carpool up if you'd like and am happy to drive!

Release Party Logistics

I propose we scale this down, especially since we just had a 20th birthday party recently. Maybe we can do just a snacks and beer outing close by to where we are meeting. Thoughts? Also happy to go to Golden Gate Park later in the day, at 3:30 pm ish and keep the original corn hole + snacks + drinks plan. 

• When: Saturday, Sept 30th from 3 pm - 5 pm
  
• Where: Gott's Roadside at the Ferry Building for beers and snacks
  

Proposed Agenda for Meeting

• Bids: Evaluate bid from Montreal and put together a new bid for SF. 
  
• Wiki page: Set up a wiki page for the new event 
  
• Attendees: Continue identifying targeted attendees, create a template email to use for invitations 
  
• Prospectus: Collate sponsor material and give to new sponsorship committee 
  
• Website: see if we can implement the openSUSE one 
  
• GNOME Summit: Name the GNOME portion of the event
