11:12:16Sanghee:Hi
11:13:44Tanner_Lin:Hi
11:13:50Sanghee:HI Xun..
11:14:02Xun:Hi Tanner and Sanghee
11:14:07CameronShorter:Hello, FOSS4G - Beijing meeting starting now.
11:14:12Sanghee:Ok.
11:14:24CameronShorter:Can we have a quick roll call. Who is here:
11:14:30CameronShorter:Myself, Cameron Shorter
11:14:42Sanghee:I'm Sanghee
11:14:48Xun:Xun is here
11:15:19CameronShorter:Tanner_Lin?
11:15:28dadkins:I am here to lurk on behalf of Opticks (we will not be attending FOSS4G this year).
11:16:00CameronShorter:Ok, I suggest an agenda of:
11:16:11CameronShorter:* Update on progress sourcing speakers
11:16:26CameronShorter:* Update on sourcing a Conference Organisor
11:16:42CameronShorter:* Any other issues that the LOC has been working on?
11:16:52Tanner_Lin:Sorry. I'm here.
11:16:53CameronShorter:Anything else?
11:17:34CameronShorter:Xun, as you are from the LOC, are there any other things you would like to cover?
11:19:05Xun:since Gao is not here, i'll update some info for him.
11:19:15CameronShorter:Ok, thanks.
11:20:17Xun:For the website issue, i classified them and sent to mymova and waiting for their feedback, we hope they could give us feedback before this Friday
11:20:49CameronShorter:Ok, that is good.
11:21:35Xun:For the local conference oganizer, we are negotiating and will make conclusion on all details in this Thursday
11:21:57CameronShorter:I suggest when tasking people, that you ensure that you specify or ask for a completion date, so that you know when to chase them if not done. Sounds like you have done that. Which is good.
11:22:26CameronShorter:Xun, as you are aware, I sent through a list of suggested speakers for keynote positions. Have the list been considered?
11:24:15Xun:Sorry, Cameron, I don't know more details about this. Maybe I need send an email to Gao and Mr Chen to confirm this.
11:25:06CameronShorter:Ok, I think it important to get keynote speakers decided and confirmed, ideally within the next week.
11:25:39Xun:OK
11:26:01CameronShorter:This will then lead to a press release about keynotes, which will be an important step in creating publicity and buzz, which is required to attract attendees.
11:27:06Xun:I agree with that.
11:27:26CameronShorter:Also, once you start knowing how many keynotes you will have, you can start providing more detail to your program.
11:29:55Tanner_Lin:Sorry. Something happened to my Internet connection.
11:30:51Tanner_Lin:Did I miss anything ?
11:31:03CameronShorter:Ok Xun, anything else you wish to discuss today. I sounds like we are waiting on: Website updates, Keynote selection (please fast track this), select Local organising committee.
11:31:30CameronShorter:sorry ... select Conference Organisor ...
11:32:15CameronShorter:Tanner_Lin, only missed this: <CameronShorter> Also, once you start knowing how many keynotes you will have, you can start providing more detail to your program.
11:32:58CameronShorter:Is there anything else we wish to cover in the foss4g meeting today, before we wrap up?
11:33:11Sanghee:Xun, I think important dates in FOSS4G website should be updated. Some people think that they lost the chance to apply... http://2012.foss4g.org/custom/IMPORTANTDATES
11:33:11Xun:Cameron, thanks for your summary, I think that's work in last week.
11:33:11sigq:Title: IMPORTANT DATES--FOSS4G 2012 (at 2012.foss4g.org)
11:33:14Tanner_Lin:Thanks. After knowing keynoters we can work on the programs plan.
11:34:13Xun:Sanghee, I'll check this, thanks
11:35:30CameronShorter:Sanghee, I'm looking at the important dates now, and I don't see any issues there. First deadline is 15 July.
11:36:36Sanghee:Oops. .I was confused with June and July.. Thanks
11:36:41CameronShorter:Ok, I suggest we close the meeting now. Next meeting is same time next week, in the same IRC channel. That ok with everyone?
11:36:54Sanghee:Ok..
11:37:21Tanner_Lin:Are you sure there's nothing else to discuss ?
11:37:55Sanghee:One thing I would like to suggest to LOC. If possible, I hope LOC could organize special session for OSGeo Asia..
11:38:25Tanner_Lin:What kind of "special session" ?
11:39:09Sanghee:for discussing current situation of each Asian osgeo chapter and explore the possibility to cooperate..
11:39:51CameronShorter:Sanghee, that is a good idea, and is the sort of topic that is good for a "Birds of a Feather" session.
11:40:07Sanghee:This is just pure idea.. However last year, I and Venka slightly discussed this ..
11:41:02Sanghee:I agree with Cameron.. However if LOC could upgrade one of BOF to official theme or session. We could attract more people from Asian region.
11:42:07Xun:OK, i'll tell this to other LOC members.
11:42:16CameronShorter:Sanghee, I can see value in that, and it would also be a good topic for a press release.
11:42:39Sanghee:Since FOSS4G 2012 is the first FOSS4G held in Asia. We can add Asian regional color to conference.
11:43:08CameronShorter:FYI: Logs of this IRC session are stored here: http://irclogs.geoapt.com/osgeo/

11:45:45CameronShorter:Not from me. Thanks all. I'll catch up with you next week.
11:45:58Tanner_Lin:Bye.
11:46:30Xun:Thank you all to join today's discussion. Bye
11:46:51Sanghee:bye
11:47:13CameronShorter:Sanghee, are you ok with sending a summary to the email list again?
11:47:23CameronShorter:Your last summary was very good.
11:48:06Sanghee:Ok.. Cameron..
11:48:23CameronShorter:thanks
11:48:45Tanner_Lin:Which summary ? I think I somehow missed that one.
