[guadec-list] GUADEC is educational leave (Bildungsurlaub)
Hey everyone. As posted to www.guadec.org, if you are employed in Germany you might be interested in knowing that GUADEC is a recognised educational leave event (Bildungsurlaub). Essentially, that means that you can get additional (paid) leave. Details vary a bit and currently it only applies to employees working in Hamburg, Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz, or Saarland. If you are interested, let us know. Cheers, Tobi ___ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list

So you can see the video from the talk in the schedule and vice versa. I've seen it working for events ranging from a handful of talks (FifFkon), to a few dozen (mrmcd), up to a few hundred (FOSDEM, CCCongress). My feeling is that frab is pretty much the standard nowadays. The main feature I see is that it exports static HTML which is good for security and archival purposes.

[guadec-list] GUADEC Archive on guadec.org
Hi. I'm wondering whether it makes sense to link to previous editions of GUADEC. Currently, the navigation on http://guadec.org does not offer going to older Web pages. I have the feeling that it might make sense to include links so that potential sponsors can see that the conference exists for a significant time and what the older editions looked like. Is there anybody willing to help on the Web page and include an "Archive" section in the navigation? We will probably need more help regarding content on the Web page. I'm thinking of descriptions of the venue, the city, the country, travel and accommodation options, and so on. Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, the 2013 site has a problem with the schedule (as did the 2014
one).
Because of the wordpress and the fixed domain, i.e. www.guadec.org as opposed
to
2014.guadec.org, links were placed to www.guadec.org which, of course, break
after some time. I could fix that for the 2014 site, but I cannot find the
content for the 2013 site.
All links from https://2013.guadec.org/schedule/index.html are broken.
Does anybody know where the content has gone to?
Cheers,
Tobi

Hi folks. Currently, we are running a Wordpress instance for the old GUADEC Web sites. I think we'd be better off making static copies of the Web sites now, before things break and we need to forensically analyse the wordpress database. I went ahead and created a static backup here: https://github.com/muelli/guadec-2014 Could you check whether it contains everything? If it's complete, I'd be glad seeing this static copy being served for 2014.guadec.org rather than the current Wordpress. Any opinions?

[guadec-list] Speaker Sponsorship - Book Hotel myself?
Hi Folks, I requested Speaker Sponsorship a while ago and haven't heard anything yet. Baris told me on IRC that everything will be alright, and I've asked him to send me kind of a confirmation email with details on how to proceed. He didn't yet and didn't respond to my mails. Based on the comments on IRC and the fact, that I didn't receive any negative answer, I assume that I receive speaker sponsorship. I knew that I had book the flight myself, but my question is, whether I have to book the hotel myself too (and get the refund later on)? Actually I silently assumed, that I don't have to care about the Hotel if I receive sponsorship, especially because I had to estimate flight costs and not hotel costs on applying for sponsorship. If I have to book the Hotel myself and get the refund later on, is it okay to take any reasonable hotel for the GUADEC time (i.e. not a 5-star hotel and just from monday till sunday)? Are there any other rules to obey?
