Just a quick reminder of the beering coming up next Thursday, 28 Feb at
Lucky Lab.
Action item this time! The DebConf bid project - where we are, what's left
and volunteer opportunities. We'll want to gather local sponsors for the
conference, so ideas of who to approach and who *should* approach local
businesses that would be interested in a multi-national conference centered
on Debian would be most welcome.
See y'all (well, most of y'all) then!
Patty

Hi folks,
In response to Moray's prompting on d-d-a, I'm writing to confirm that we
are interested in putting forth a bid to host DebConf14 in Portland, OR.
http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf14/Portland
The bid page is still a bit light on logistical details, but we have a
prospective lead on space associated with Portland State University which we
believe would be a good fit for a DebConf.
I know the bid process for this year is generally behind schedule. Can the
DebConf team please provide a deadline for completion of
<https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/LocationCheckList> for Portland to be
considered?

20:00 UTC == 12pm Pacific. If other Portland folks can make it to the IRC
meeting, that would be keen - if we're going to try to put on DC14 here in
Portland, we'll need more people to become familiar with the DebConf
processes and start participating.
BTW, I'm maintaining an ical feed of DebConf meetings; so if, like me, you
find it impossible to keep track of this kind of thing without a calendar
reminder, you may also find the below link useful:

Well, comparing with the bid checklist I think it's still very rough - we
may have venue+accom pricing, but there are a lot of important details
(food, network room, 24h access, handicap accessibility) that aren't yet
filled in at all, and I think that several of these points could scuttle
this venue choice if they don't turn out in our favor; so I am planning to
follow through on getting more complete data in time for this extended
deadline. (Preferably by dividing and conquering among the local team. :)

Done.
