Topics: - The Good things of this year = Roles of the team == Office Hours * Can help even for those who don't come * Clarify what it means = This Year == The Good * Office Hours == The Bad * Blocked late submission of entries: Good Late submissions are still fine * Missing English introductory talks (there were, but Potugese) * Feedback from some: Talks were not technical enough * Open day was not useful enough = For Next Year == Idea: Opt-in feedback for speakers? * There could be an opt-in way for the audience to give anonymous feedback after a talk, hopefully helping the speaker for the next time * As an audience member I would have liked this, but we should probably ask speakers to see if there's interest == Office hours * Publish earlier * Have more == Missing content * Content of certain types was missing * Reach out to people who we know will come * Reach out to core teams (manually) * An option to mail all of the previous debconf's speakers. * From a limited list? * Or a private list? * Alternatively: not really needed: because we already have a high repeat rate for speakrs. * Likewise: for this years submitters? * What type of content is missing? * Ask feedback? * Introductory talks in English as well * Ask for more information in the registration form? * The CfP should clarify that we also want talks from outside the Debian community * Include cost of flying speakers in the budget? * Missing hands-on workshops * packaging * gpg/keysigning * ... * No open day. * Probably a separate Hebrew track * If there are Hebrew talks, we need more than one local team member to review them * Time of day: late afternoon. Maybe even Evening (is it possible?) * Bi-lingual talk: * Is simultanous translation possible? * Maybe just require English for everything? Bilingual Q&A * have a mechanism to ask clarification from speakers * require a bio when submitting a talk == Practical questions How large should the team be? 10-20 seems to be ok How soon to get CFP out: - ASAP - deadline SHOULD be way before bursaries deadline so accepted speakers can be considered for bursaries When to start moving stuff around: Sep-Dec 2019 ? When to call for suggestions of invited speakers: Sep-Dec 2019 ? New members: - Thomas Lange, MrFAI, lange@d.o -
