Summary of Agenda Points

Plan

  • The overall plan was presented
  • Sponsorship v Donations
    • The desire it to get sponsorship to cover the costs of the conference, rather than ask for donations from individual attendees
    • Need to get firm budgets on wiki with items that we need sponsorship to cover (Russel and Chris to do)
    • Update wiki with who has provided sponsorship
    • Deborah is the HLT contact for finances
    • All sponsorship activity to be channeled through Russel
  • Programme
    • Nicole is going to handle the programme
    • Chris expressed a desire for the conference to be light on tech - ideal 90% presented/targetted at librarians. Leave tech for Hackfest. (There were lots of good ideas about topics)
    • Chris proposed that the Hackfest was more talk than hack - plan is to incorporate some technical presentations (Git, Perl etc)
    • Plan is to have a link to a Google form on the site that submits to a Google Document
