In previews years we had a working web environment to get people
chatting without the need of an IRC client. This year we had timvideos
which was broke most of the time. This may be one of the reasons.

I'd be glad to see WebRTC being used in next DCs, but I'm not sure how
we should set it. No idea about using text-to-speech engines.

[Debconf-discuss] Video team needs volunteers, please join!

2014-08-25 Thread Tiago Bortoletto Vaz
Hi all!

As you may know, we're providing live video and recordings for all
scheduled talks and discussions on DebConf14 (yay!!)

In order to keep the current volunteers sane until the end of the
conference, we're asking for your help to join the team and help with
the following tasks.

- camera operating (basically focus on)
- sound mixing (basically controling mics volume)
- video directing (playing with dvswitch)
- talk meistering (running around with a microphone, and introducing
  speakers)

These tasks are quite easy and we'll be happy to guide you if necessary.
Also, there's good documentation at
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf14/Videoteam/Help.

How to volunteer:
- Join #debconf-video on OFTC, and idle there, if you can.
- Go to the front-desk and sign up for slots.
- If you walk into a talk room, and see nobody behind cameras, go to
  the video desk and offer your help.
- Review video in the evening (Talk to CarlFK to get credentials for
  this)

What you get:
- our appreciation
- the appreciation of all the people who couldn't make it to
  Portland
- that nice yellow videoteam t-shirt :)

Thanks a lot for your support!

Also, the signal from the PSU open guest network is strong enough to
connect you from outside the building.

Another option is using the public phone which is on the corner of SW
College and SW Brodway, one bloc from the check-in building.

[Debconf-discuss] The days after DC13

Hi all,

I have two days in Switzerland after DebConf and so far I have no plans. Any
hints about affordable places to visit/stay would be very welcome. I have a
tent but I know nothing about camping sites nearby.

Anyway, I'm also wondering if there're more people in the same situation. If so
we could have a wikipage like we did for DC10
(https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf12/TravelCoordination).

I'd appreciate a lot if someone lend me a thinkpad x61 battery during Debconf.
I've lived with my dead one, but during the conference it's be annoying to have
to suspend my system every time I need to move.

Please email me in pvt if you're able to make it. I'll attend from 6 to 18
august. Any hints about recovering a quite new but dead battery is also

Same for my photos in flickr/tiagovaz. Btw, I always try to infer if people are
annoyed when I'm taking pictures in a public event, then I don't take his/her
pic or immediately delete it if it's already taken. Some people who are annoyed
by default are also avoided in my albuns - and wow i've never received a
request for removal. I'll be completely ok getting a first. But no, I'm not
going to ask everybody permission for publishing each single photo I take in
public places. My suggestion is to keep what i consider the common sense here =
photographers not exposing people much and people not being paranoid about
that.

Well, if we decide to ask permission for each attendee before uploading DebConf
pictures we wouldn't have pictures published at all, which is too bad.

To improve things here you can ping the photographer in pvt and reduce the
chance of having your photo forever in the cloud. If it's not enough for you
(and other people), I propose a way to have your face somewhere (penta?) with
explicit instruction like "don't make public any shot that contains this face".
I'm sure the DC friendly photographers will respect your wishes.

Not too late, but yes, we need to ask locals about other possible places to
rent more bikes. Or even arrange another round for it, which could be someday
starting at 7-8 am :)

[Debconf-discuss] Lunch / Dinner tips

2011-07-20 Thread Tiago Bortoletto Vaz
Hi,

In past DebConfs we have encouraged people to pay waiter/waitress tips even
regarding sponsored meals. So this is just a reminder :)

Local people say it's normal to pay about 10%. So, something near €0.75 should
be fine, once each meal costs 7.5€ for Debconf.

If doesn't make your day I don't know what will.

Our gold sponsor Mtel has decided to give *every* DebConf11 attendee a
phone number and package along with it! I got too excited so I'm not
sure I got it right but I think this is the package they mentioned:
http://www.mtel.ba/menu/2265

Comments? :)


Sorry, i don't really understand phone marketing, but i couldn't make
head or tails of that page (other than that the models looked very
excited to be not-talking to each other).

Is it saying that each attendee will get a mobile phone running an
all-free software stack?

Lest this post be 100% snark, let me be more concrete:

 a) not every participant in debconf uses a mobile telephone

 b) mobile telephony at the moment enjoys an extremely tenuous (if not
adversarial) relationship with the principles of free software (e.g. at
least in the US, i have yet to see a functional, fully-free phone, for
reasons i'm ill-equipped to explain).

 c) if debconf actively encourages the adoption of non-free tools, or
actively excludes users who do not adopt non-free tools, it would seem
to distance the conference from our mutually-held social contract.

I would love to be wrong about (b) above.


As I see they will provide a SIM card with a bunch of credits for DC11  
people. Is that too bad? I think it's a good news for DC attendees and  
doesn't deserve complaints :)

Shall I contact Star Alliance and SkyTeam and see what's possible

who hasn't booked their DebConf11 flights yet. We'd also need to make 
a separate group booking for whatever form(s) of transport we use for 
the last leg to/from Banja Luka, if we want a discount for that, since 
those airlines don't go there.


Please still speak up if you're interested in my original idea; 
single-flight or even multi-flight/single-airline group bookings

Based on times available at http://www.autobusni-

22:00.

arrives in Zagreb at 6:00, which IMO would not give you enough time to get to 
the airport in time. So, no again.

In summary, if localteam doesn't provide shuttle bus, your dates plan will 
demand extra hosting arrangements. I'm pretty sure the localteam's answer here 
will be "if there're more people for the same times we can arrange a bus". So 
it became a kind of circular cause-and-effect problem.

I've found cheaper flights from NYC to Zagreb (16/07 <-> 31/07):

Tap Air Portugal  US$ 815   
Lufthansa US$ 1.054
Swiss US$ 1.135
Continental   US$ 1.215
American Airlines US$ 1.456 
Air CanadaUS$ 1.456

As penta.dc.o doesn't accept detailed arrival info, I guess people are using

[Debconf-discuss] noisy hacklab x quiet hacklab

2010-08-01 Thread Tiago Bortoletto Vaz
Hey all, I've seen in past debconfs a kind of natural consensus having a noisy
hacklab and a quiet (actually a not-so-noisy) one.

As it hasn't naturally happened (yet) this year I'm doing such 'proposal'.

Considering we have some orga stuff in Carleton I think that CS hacklab would
be the best choice for a not-so-noisy environment.

Also, if you feel cold in Carleton, try CS! The temperature here is a little
warmer, very nice :)

and father of computer science. The play takes Turing from his deathbed to his
childhood and back again. Turing’s teddy bear, Porgy, leads her “Master”
through the story, acting as a combination of confidante, guide, tormenter and
Greek chorus. Featuring a Disney-inspired soundtrack and a drag number.

I'm not publicly criticizing orga team. You have been doing a good work and
things are going very well here. Yes, I asked otavio about it before writing
that email, and noted he was very unhappy with the situation.

It's not the right way/place to discuss it anyway, so sorry about that. Let's
try to properly address this issue for next DCs.

Holger, are you sure the email has been sent to people who asked only for room
and food? I know one person who apparently has not received it. I feel that
only people with "amount I'm not unable to fund myself" > 0 have got this.

Hector, could you confirm this?

It's possible to put their nicknames as the picture's titles, however I
would like to see a coletive effort on this, since I would spend much
time doing so by my self. Also, some people didn't put nickname on
the shot :\

I can promise to do it lazily :)

If you can help me there, just tell me your login account in
gallery.debconf.org and I give you permission to edit dc8 mugshots

I guess the guys who took mughshots on Aug 15th/16th didn't upload the
pictures yet. I uploaded those taken on Aug 14th (key signing party
day).

So, for those who joined for mugshot on Aug 14th and are missing in the
gallery please tell me then I'll check what is wrong here.

For those who joined on Aug 15th/16th please ask Gabriel Falcão
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Maximiliano Curia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to upload the pictures :)

[Debconf-discuss] Official group photo today 2pm

2008-08-14 Thread Tiago Bortoletto Vaz
Hi all,

The Debconf official group photo will be taken today at 2:30pm (14:30h).
Once our official photographer[0] didn't attend this year, we are doing
a coletive effort in order to do it with good quality as he did on last
DCs.

Debconf photographers will now check a good place to take that picture -
it's not defined yet. So please guys try to be ready at the hotel
reception at 2:00pm so we guide you. We know it's the lunch time, but
the other non-conflicting time would be 5pm, which there is not enough
light in case of the weather is not perfect.

Please help us to disseminate this, once this event has just been
published :\

[Debconf-discuss] Debconf mugshots

2008-08-12 Thread Tiago Bortoletto Vaz
Hi all,

Last Debconfs we've got the gallery with nice mugshots of attendees. I has
been made by Aigarius and the result is really funny :)

http://www.aigarius.com/blog/2007/06/16/you-are-next/

I would like to keep alive this tradition and help doing it in DC8. I
just need to know if there is someone else working already on this and
if there is a tripod we could use for this.

My suggestion is taking the mugshots before and during the key signing
party on 2008-08-14.

I got parse errors for tables.css and sidebar.css by using w3c
validator. I guess that the problem can be in this code:

#sidebar {
  position: fixed;
  overflow: auto;
  width: 128px;
  min-width: 128px;
  height: 100%; 
  padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
  margin: 0;
  background-color: #90acc8;
  border-right: 1px solid black;
  z-index: 4;
}

It has a parse error but I don't know how to fix it :\

[Debconf-discuss] Tips

2006-05-15 Thread Tiago Bortoletto Vaz
Hey, I saw in [0] that the the waiters would wait for some tips. I've
seen people giving tips during breakfest only, maybe because they don't
handle money during lunch/dinner or because that instruction in [0] can
be a little bit confusing, once we don't know how much is 10% of the
sponsored foods.

So, this email is just to remember that waiters here are doing a great
job, and if you didn't give tips before because you didn't know, think
about it :)
