Hi, While we didn't hold irc meetings in the past few weeks, there was still progress on the QA Hackathon organization. A few things were said on irc too, even though there weren't any meetings planned...
Progress: - mdk managed to get DuckDuckGo to agree to sponsor 1000 USD - everyone seems to agree that it would be great to have a tradition of surplus money getting to the next qa hackathon budget - elbeho will look at the cost of getting an account in USD for the French Perl Mongueurs, to avoid paying conversion fees more than once - elbeho has started the steps to get a Paypal account for the French Perl Mongers - we have found another french company that could be a potential sponsor, and we had a phone call scheduled with them on Dec 21 - from that call, we got 3000 EUR of sponsoring! Thanks Diablocom! - Hedera Technology sponsored 200 EUR. Thanks! - we got a first quote for a hotel just in front of the venue. Even though they have rooms that can hold 3 or 4 people, these rooms include one or two double beds. At 100 EUR / night. - elbeho will call another hotel this week, that should be cheaper, and be able to provide rooms with twin beds, while still being within walking distance - BooK has sent invitations by email to the people listed on the wiki Here is the current "income" budget (a + means the mongueurs actually have the money): + Perl QA Hackathon 2011 1061.31 EUR - $foo magazin 500.00 EUR + Les Mongueurs de Perl 1000.00 EUR + SPLIO 2000.00 EUR - EPO 1000.00 EUR - DuckDuckGo 1000.00 USD - Diablocom 3000.00 EUR - Hedera Technology 200.00 EUR Next meeting: irc://irc.perl.org/perl-qa Thursday January 5th, 13:00 CET (Europe/Paris). -- Philippe Bruhat (BooK) The man who most obeys the king is the man who gets crowned.
