18:16:09 <igorps> So, to the first topic
18:16:33 <igorps> #topic Get confirmation for additional rooms
18:16:50 <igorps> Today is the deadline for this one
18:16:57 <igorps> aeperezt: any news?
18:17:28 * gomix here
18:19:13 <aeperezt> well I was on the phone, there was small miss place, we have 6 villas available for the fudcon, but only 2 paid for
18:20:16 <igorps> aeperezt: I meant for the additional rooms
18:20:18 <aeperezt> igorps, when we were asking for sponsorship for the villas they separated them and I was not aware of that.
18:21:16 <igorps> Good to know! But I was refereeing to the rooms for the event in the university :)
18:21:27 <aeperezt> aditional room still on hold, but like I said when we got that posibility we could work with out them and if we have them use them
18:22:22 <igorps> ok, I'll close the task them, so we can prepare the schedule with what we have confirmed by now
18:22:58 <igorps> if we get the rooms later we can prepare some additional activities
18:23:34 <igorps> aeperezt: about the rooms we have available and confirmed by now
18:23:45 <igorps> we have a big room for the first day
18:24:01 <igorps> and two rooms for the other two days, right?
18:24:04 <aeperezt> yes
18:25:04 <igorps> #info Bigger room available for the first day and other two rooms available for the following two days
18:25:52 <igorps> ok, so let's think the schedule of what we have right now
18:26:08 <igorps> I'll open a new task for the schedule organization
18:26:35 <igorps> #action igorps to open a task for the schedule organization
18:26:58 <igorps> I'm wiling to help with the schedule organization on the wiki
18:27:23 <igorps> since we have several names confirmed we can start working on a draft
18:28:25 <igorps> aeperezt: any ideas for the schedule?
18:30:25 <aeperezt> igorps, well I think we need to have the list of people comming and what the can talk about so we can take advantage of the first day room, so talks that people like will be then
18:31:55 <igorps> aeperezt: sure, the survey will also help us to define what talks are more suitable to for the first day room
18:32:24 <jsmith> It wouldn't hurt to send out an email encouraging people to submit talks for the first day as well
18:33:03 <aeperezt> jsmith, right
18:33:11 <igorps> Some subsidized folks don't have talks on the wiki either
18:33:24 <aeperezt> specially to people sponsored
18:33:28 <igorps> I can ask them to propose some
18:34:48 <igorps> I'll open the task and work on this announcement. And we get back to this item on next meeting.
18:35:01 <jsmith> Perfecto!
18:35:09 <igorps> next topic:
18:35:24 <igorps> #topic FUDCon Panama booklet content
18:35:56 <igorps> aeperezt we need some updates from Xhaksx on this one
18:36:17 <igorps> I added more information about hackfests but didn't get a reply
18:37:42 <aeperezt> igorps, that task was pickup by tatica as he was not able to finish that part
18:38:26 <aeperezt> igorps, also we need to finish the book let to send to print that means that we need to check what is missing

18:46:41 <igorps> hackfest information is on the task, and I remember that we have everything else translated from Tempe's booklet
18:47:16 <igorps> Everyone who has files to share can post on the ticket
18:47:28 <igorps> so we can have everything there together
18:50:03 <igorps> let's work on update the ticket with the files we have, so tatica can have everything she need when she´s available to work on the booklet

19:03:39 <igorps> For instance providing names and passport numbers
19:06:39 <igorps> if we need that information we can start putting it together
19:06:53 <igorps> so we can organize room sharing and so on
19:07:56 <igorps> aeperezt: depending of the information needed it's better to do that on private
19:09:44 <igorps> moving on
