Re: [Debconf-team] Registration questions
Hi folks, Passing along this message from Cate, since it never made it to the list from his original mailing. -Nattie (not actually top-posting) On Tue, Feb 03, 2015 at 11:42:18AM +0100, Giacomo Catenazzi wrote: Hello -team! Here the question for registration. Nearly the same questions as last years. Notes: - At Reconfirmation we will add daytrip, CW, assassin, conference dinner or other options - Check the prices. I simplified it, but I think it will be ok. It would be too complex to distinguish sponsored/non-sponsored; food prices for insiders/outsiders. But it is OK, if you find a good way to ask the question and to registration to handle the cases. - For every proposed change: please think about what *you* will add to the instruction pages.

Re: [Debconf-team] Registration questions
This looks really good and well thought-through! Thank you, Cate and everyone else involved. Here are a few comments: Full name (for badge): Nickname (for badge): Contact email: @ [X] Subscribe to announcement list default: Yes I am not sure we should make this optional. We should really have a way to reach out to all attendees if necessary. So if the announcement list is not the way to go, then maybe we can add a statement like we might well send you e-mail if you opt-out, in case important stuff comes up. But then, why would people sign up to the announcement list? Do we offer 23 as departure day? Yes. The morning only though. Role in DebConf: - Regular attendee Default - Organizer I suggest en_GB instead: Organiser. Registration level: help text: Thank you for supporting Debian and DebConf. Payments will be handled onsite - Basic registration (free) Default - Independent (100 EUR) - Professional (200 EUR) - Corporate (500 EUR) Why not make the default independent? Also, have you guys considered adding a free-form option, or a donation field? Room type: Do we have better room to offer for more price? - Not applicable - Regular - XXX (supplement of 20 EUR/day) This is not decided yet. We should give people the option to apply for double-rooms, e.g. couples, but we cannot make any guarantees. Well, not yet. I think it would be good if those people later in charge of room allocation would have a look… (contact me for details) Gender (for diversity statistics): - Male - Female I suppose this list is incomplete and should include N/A and/or Not specified. -- .''`. martin f. krafft madd...@debconf.org @martinkrafft : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf15: Heidelberg, Germany: http://debconf15.debconf.org DebConf16: Cape Town or Montreal? https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16 digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/sig-policy/999bbcc4/current) ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team

I'm also open to other suggestions that would also help us avoid this common large-group meat-overconsumption pattern. --dkg ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
[Debconf-team] proposal for registration and info page
Hi everybody I've been looking at past DebConf websites. I think it's nice if we do like DC14: * Now we have in the website: News Dates Sponsors Contribute Contact DebConf e.V. * Add one more Travel Venue, pointing to https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Welcome (I've created the wiki page, copied the scheme and some sections (empty) from DC14. I'll try to fulfill some parts with the info already provided in DC14 presentation talk. I hope we all together can do the rest :) ) * Add one more Registration with some small info until registration is open (attached you can find a proposal, taken from DC14 too), and more info when summit is open for registration. I've created a branch registration_page in debconf-data/dc15.git and pushed there the registration.xhtml file (not sure if this is the correct procedure). Even if all of you agree with this, I don't know how to make the corresponding changes for creating the menus in the main page etc. So another person should do that, I think. Comments welcome.

This results in overconsumption of meat: it forces normal people to eat meat in order to avoid running out of vegetarian dishes for the vegetarians. While I am in the group that sometimes wished they could eat the vegetarian dish, because it looked tastier, or because they wanted to skip meat one day, I really don't agree with your proposal. No dietary restrictions means what it means, not that meat is mandatory. Lacto-ovo-vegetarian is by definition a dietary restriction, no matter how you frame it. This way, we could ensure that the people who need meat can get it, without pushing everyone who isn't explicitly vegetarian into eating meat. I don't *need* meat, I just like eating it as part of my diet. A more sensible approach would be to have many options, or just be free to choose between the two offered at will, but it seems that our caterers for the past many years can't offer more than two options, in more or less restricted numbers. This proposal will not solve the underlying problem, just changes the semantics, in a way that I find troubling. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho) ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
