23:02 <+emmes> hey
23:02 <+emmes> I think we'll have to do without both, Alan *and* Bart today...
23:03 <+keithp> not sure who's running the meeting today
23:03 <+emmes> be my guest ;-)
23:03 <+Bart_Massey> Howdy
23:03 <+Bart_Massey> No, it's me
23:03 <+keithp> cool, thought you were stuck in another mtg
23:03 <+emmes> oh, bart, you actually made it :-)
23:03 <+Bart_Massey> No, just hit the restroom before this one.
23:03 <+Bart_Massey> Yeah :-)
23:03 <+Bart_Massey> kind of nice
23:04 <+emmes> so no wild guessing from our side who's in charge today
23:04 <+Bart_Massey> So let me pull my agenda and we'll get started. :-)
23:05 <+Bart_Massey> 1) XDC planning. Are we on track here? Anyone got anything to add?
23:06 <marcoz> we still thinking about a book sprint right prior to?
23:06 <+Bart_Massey> We are. I think if we're going to do that though, the next few weeks are when we must plan and schedule it.
23:06 <+Bart_Massey> emmes: can we get space for people to stay before the event some easy way?
23:07 <+Bart_Massey> The other possibility is for me to prevail on my friends in Wurzburg to put us up at FHWS. It's about 1hr train ride from Nurnberg, I think?
23:08 <+emmes> Bart_Massey: asked egbert about the state on hotel negotiations; still waiting for an answer. It's possibly better for me to negotiate, though, as I'm living in Nuernberg.
23:09 <+emmes> Hotel situation in Nuernberg is pretty good, and affordable, as we do have a fair, and there's nothing on it during XDC.
23:09 <+Bart_Massey> emmes: OK. We'll need to confirm the hotel for XDC itself real soon now.
23:09 <+Bart_Massey> emmes: Good. We're thinking the book sprint would be for a couple of days before XDC.
23:09 <+Bart_Massey> Would that work?
23:09 <+Bart_Massey> Probably 8-12 of us. (I'm not doing it with less than 8 solid confirms.)
23:10 <+emmes> Yes, I know. I'll discuss it with Egbert on the Weekend. I think the few days before should be fine. The weekend especially.
23:10 <+Bart_Massey> Thanks. Let us know. Like I say, I have a backup plan, so whatever works.
23:10 <+emmes> :-)
23:11 <+Bart_Massey> marcoz: I'm assuming you will put together the invite list for the sprint, and basically take charge of setting it up. Is this possible?
23:11 <+emmes> I think flight reservations are more pressing than hotel reservations. Anyway, we should get over it soonish.
23:11 <+Bart_Massey> Excellent.
23:12 <marcoz> Bart_Massey: yep
23:12 <+Bart_Massey> marcoz: I am emailing you my partly-written CFP for XDC. Would you be willing to finish it and ship it? I was originally planning to put together a refereed track with a Program Committee, but so far I haven't seen that anyone wants it.
23:13 <+Bart_Massey> So probably not.
23:13 <marcoz> uh, sure.  what's invovled in finishing a CFP?
23:14 <+keithp> Bart_Massey: only if someone needs a refereed paper
23:14 <+Bart_Massey> Just look at the document I'm sending you and figure out what it still needs. We can bounce it back and forth. When we're happy you can send it to the usual places
23:14 <+Bart_Massey> keithp: I have identified no such person
23:14 <+Bart_Massey> and I'm feeling like I have enough things to do right now without it. :-)
23:14 <+Bart_Massey> If someone speaks up and says yes, they do want a refereed paper, I'll be happy to put it all together.
23:15 <marcoz> ok
23:15 <+Bart_Massey> Next: Bylaws revision. We need to get started on this. What state did we leave it in?
23:15 <+Bart_Massey> (CFP emailed)
23:16 <+Bart_Massey> I think maybe alanc was going to do something on this?
23:17 <+Bart_Massey> OK. We'll table it for now, but sometime soon.
23:17 <+Bart_Massey> Finally, EVoC. We have a couple of possible proposals in flight. What's the state of the one we just finished? Is that all done and paid now?
23:18 <+Bart_Massey> stukreit: ?
23:18 <stukreit> I have still not  sent it out. I need to do that asap
23:18 <+Bart_Massey> OK. Yes, please.
23:19 <+Bart_Massey> I think that's what was on my agenda. Are there other things we need to discuss?
23:20 <+emmes> i've got nothing  on my mind currently
23:20 <+Bart_Massey> Cool. Move to adjourn.
23:20 <+keithp> sounds great; back to my other meeting :-)
23:20 <+Bart_Massey> :-)
23:20 <+emmes> +1
23:20 <marcoz> +1
23:20 <stukreit> +1
