Hi all,
Later than expected, here are the meeting-minutes of yesterday's LinuxTag meeting.
Let me know if something is unclear or if I have the responsiblities wrong. Please *do* look if your name is mentioned :)
Entry passes: + Special setup/breakup exhibitor passes: 10 in mailbox -> Action Dag: send 2 to Axel and 2 to Ralph [DONE] + Exhibitor passes: 10 are validated: (add list of names) -> Action Dag: make sure everyone involved has an exhibitor pass [DONE] + Visitor passes: 25 of which 22 still unused -> Action Axel: Send list of FU-Berlin people that need free entrance

Flyers: + We still have plenty good quality flyers from FOSDEM + We could already start improving the current flyers (but posters are more important) -> Action Ralph and Dag: bring flyers to LinuxTag
Posters: + We decided the booth needed decent durable posters - But printing a few is not cheap - Printing many lowers the price per poster drastically (200, 500, 1000 ?) - We may be able to sell these, if they are attractive -> Action Gideondk: Try to come up with one or more attractive designs ASAP + We decided that we want to have a parallel track for designing ordinary posters that can be printed by Lance on demand. -> Action *everyone*: Design a few 'normal' posters or slogans and help gideondk (this design can be used in the future for other purposes eg. LUGs)
Stickers: + Stickers are cheap and very wanted, can we give these away for free ? (We could give them to people that promise to put them on servers or laptop or that can proof they run CentOS already by means of a quiz ?) -> Action Lance: bring plenty of cheap stickers
Businesscards: + At LinuxWorld London I used businesscards to write down information on the back. We could use special CentOS cards with already printed contact info (list, irc, forum) -> Action Dag: make a few designs, discuss, and print them (vistaprint.com?)
Merchandizing: + Lance asked for selling CentOS merchandizing, Ralph mentioned this needed approval. We ask for approval or work using donations. -> Action Dag: ask organisation for approval [DONE] + Lance couldn't bring stuff with ryanair -> Action Lance: ship the goods to Axel if required
Demo-systems: + We decided to show off 3 different things at LinuxTag - Axel's system demonstrating Xen (Dell OptiPles has no VT-X !) -> Action Danieldk: prepare this demo - One system to show of anaconda-loop installations in step mode -> Action Danieldk (?): prepare this demo - One system to show compiz 3D cube together with applications and slids -> Action Tim: prepare this demo (not beryl! :))
Other gear: + Flyerholders -> Action Dag: look at the AVA store for these (Brenda already looked an they were not cheap :/) + Adhesive tape/Wires for posters and tape for taping wires to the floor -> Anyone ? + Hub Ethernet cables, power cords -> Action Ralph: bring gear (hub no longer required) + Ethernet switch -> Action Dag: search for, find and bring ethernet switch + Mirror of CentOS, Atrpms, Rpmforge, Karan -> Action Axel: fill the 160GB disk as best as you can :) + Photo camera: -> Action Ralph: bring it + Demo PC + Beamer -> Action Axel: bring PC + Beamer + Demo PC + 22" LCD screen from FOSDEM that Frederik Kaputa happily offered for LinuxTag as well if insured -> Action Dag: pick up in Hasselt and bring to LinuxTag

Social activities: + Keysigning and CACert -> Action Ralph and Danieldk: lecture Dag and make it happen ! + Linuxnacht: there were cheaper tickets if we were fast -> Action Dag: order cheaper tickets for everyone [DONE] we don't know if we have enough, since they will be distributed depending on demand, we will take the average price (between 15 and 25 Euro per person)
Insurance: + Ralph needed information from everyone involved to know how much needed to be insured. -> Action Ralph: send out insurance order [DONE] + General liability insurance. Ralph informed us that it was only 82 Euro for the whole team. -> Action Ralph: check with Lance to see if CentOS can sponsor this

That was it folks.
