Future meetings/hackfests
by Bryce Harrington 22 May '18

22 May '18

Summarizing the plans from the meeting today: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fall 2018 - Hackfest: Kiel, Germany (Maybe September?) Coordinator: Maren Spring 2019 - SCALE: Pasadena, California (March 7-10) Coordinator: Josh & Ted - LGM: Saarbrücken, Germany (May 30-June 3) Coordinator: Tav Fall 2019 - Hackfest: TBD Coordinator: TBD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the Kiel hackfest, we'll need a proposal and a board vote. Maren, can you set up some pages in wiki; you can use the past hackfests for reference. What should the dates be? When it's ready I'll send out the vote. Start also contacting people that might be interested in going. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For SCALE, probably worth doing wiki pages, if we're going to try and stimulate attendance. Josh and Ted, can you set these up? If we have enough people, should we also do a mini-hackfest for a couple days before or after the event? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For LGM Saarbrücken, guessing we can probably do the same as for this recent one. Tav, mind setting up wiki pages for it? Bryce

I've heard back from Christoph about the color meeting in Germany that I mentioned in a previous board meeting. It has been canceled, because they achieved some of their goals already via other routes, and because they've all already been working very hard on the color specs, and couldn't invest any more time into meeting in-person. I've asked him back if there would be someone from Scribus who would potentially like to join us in Kiel. Tav, is there any specific thing or couple of things you might like to work on during a potential hackfest in Kiel? (i.e. do you have suggestions for topics already, maybe?) Maren > Tav > > PS.
