[board-discuss] funding for admin weekend

2012-05-21 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

like last year, the admin team of TDF would like to gather for an 
internal meeting, in order to discuss and work on important topics, such 
as virtualiziation, HA/failover, system upgrade and such.


Last year, we met in Munich's Café Netzwerk, and this year, we have an 
offer to stay in the LinuxHotel in Essen (http://www.linuxhotel.de), a 
very attracting place for geeks. ;-)


The total cost for having all the 13 admins in Essen, including sleeping 
in the hotel, breakfast and having a lecture room + WiFi, would be 
around 840 € for whole weekend.


What do people generally think about that? Does this sound senseful and 
would the board be willing to approve let's say 1.000 € in total, 
excluding travel fees?

Sounds really important.

Cool.

Wow; 840 for 13 of you ? that's amazing - I should move my family there
too.

 What do people generally think about that? Does this sound senseful and

 excluding travel fees?

+1 for a $1k budget - the sysadmins do some fantastic work, and it
makes perfect sense to get them together; sounds like a bargin to me
[ were you asking for a formal vote ].

ATB,

Michael.

Yes, absolutely. Beyond that, should we fix some travel budget as
well?
