[edit] Summary
[edit] Welcome to new locals!
Recently, three new people joined our group:
- soli (fundraising)

We also talked about a possible conference theme but could not agree on anything.

Valessio proposed some visuals: https://s13.postimg.org/4nrtsl3s7/dc17_web.png
He said he would start working on CSS soon.
[edit] Accommodation
We talked a lot and decided:
- we would plan for a majority of sponsored people to stay in classrooms
- we would rent as much hotel rooms as we can without risk to give us the option to have a majority of sponsored people at the hotel if we wish
- we will not consider asking sponsored people to pay a delta to get a hotel room
[edit] Budget draft
Budget has been drafted! A few things are missing, but we are looking for around 230-50K CAD to raise from sponsorship.
We need a 5M CAD civil liability insurance for the venue :(
[edit] New meeting time
We will keep this meeting schedule (meetings on thursdays 20:00 UTC each 2 weeks) since we could not find something better.
