We need help to deal with possible legal issues like VISA, lrojas will talk to his wife cause the company where she is working are having a legal department, Julien should also find out if Ubisoft could help us with that

Translation

There's work to be done for PyCon website itself but also for the PyCon Montreal website one on the translation side. Work is need to help for the translation process of http://eldarion.com/symposion/. For that we have to talk with Taavi Burns and Kay from PyCon Canada.

Marketing

We need more informations about sponsorship opportunities for PyCon, there's an existing brochure, we should find it

** Volunteers

Parallel projects

We need to find out more informations about the 5k, Bruno Deschenes was volunteers, we should find more informations from previous organizers, Jacob Kaplan-moss.

Partners

We will have meeting in the following weeks (probably next one) with Tourism Montreal. (Summary here)

The idea is to get from them some help and ask for any legal and logistics question we can find. What's on the table for our first meeting with them is:

  • What's the status of Palais des Congres, can we met them
  • Preparation for Diana in Montreal
  • Legal issues and question regarding the conference
  • Help local flavor

Instantaneous Translation

We need precision about quotation What they are offering:

  • charged blocs 4 hours
  • around : xx$ : xx$/day/track x 5 tracks x 3 days

What we should do:

  • get stats on the locals in the conf (ex.: Atlanta, Chicago)
  • figure out if we want for the conference itself or for education stuff

** Volunteers

  • lrojas

Coordination

Me, mlhamel, i'm taking care of coord of all local things and that's what need to be done:

  • add section "local organizers" on github Staff wiki page
  • add a page on our site also?

What we've figured out

  • there's no need for local treasurer, now
  • we ill create mtlpy emails for people in team
  • our goal is to be able to have scrum on fronts for next meetings and like that have short meetings

Fronts

There's a couple of new fronts:

  • Software carpentry: -- Greg Ward confirms

  • OpenStreetMap (PdC, MIG, etc.) -- guillaumep -- greg

  • MIG (Montreal Insiders Guide) -- We want a 'cabane à sucre' but somebody will have to stand up and make it happen

  • Transportation -- Nilo should talk to some poeple at Bixi to know if it will fit for our dates

  • MOSMOSS - Montreal-on-site MOntreal-sur-site -- We wants artists -- beer : Benelux, PyCon beer jpcaissy and giotta are on it, we need talk to PdC

Thank you everyone, i'm adding you to github later tonight and probably start creating some tasks for the stuff that we've already identified.

I've already talk today with Paola from Tourism Montreal and she's available next week on Tuesday and Wednesday, the ones who would like to be there and would like to help/ask questions to Paola please confirm in the following doodle: http://doodle.com/a668s6svrgyutzsg

Ca va bucher en sale gang ! PyCon in Montréal (Thank you Merwok for this formulation) will rock !
