+23:02 <+alanc> hello

+23:02 <marcoz> gotcha,

+23:02 <marcoz> hi alanc

+23:03 <+emmes> hey all

+23:03 <marcoz> hi emmes 

+23:04 <marcoz> who are we still waiting on?

+23:05 <+alanc> whot's on vacation, stukreit isn't here today

+23:05 <mupuf> marcoz: well, almost everyone it would seem

+23:05 <marcoz> agd5f ?

+23:05 <+alanc> that leaves agd5f unaccounted for

+23:06 <marcoz> shoul we wait another min or two or get the show started?

+23:06 <+alanc> ooh, our wiki got converted since I looked last

+23:06 <marcoz> yea, when did that happen? I just noticed too.

+23:06 <+keithp> yup, in the last couple of days I think

+23:06 <+keithp> haven't actually chatted with Joe about the individual conversions

+23:07 <+alanc> I saw the main fd.o wiki go a few weeks ago, x.org was still moin last time I went to update the security alert page

+23:07 <marcoz> ok with keith is 5, let's get started. who's running this show? I'm just taking minutes

+23:08 <+emmes> Ok, what do we have for today?

+23:08 <+alanc> since stuart's not here, can't ask for a IRS update, so I guess we get keith to give an XDC update?

+23:08 <+keithp> I've got the announcement and CFP all written; just need to post them

+23:08 <+emmes> Excellent!

+23:09 <+emmes> So this time the CFP is actually somewhat early enough ;-)

+23:09 <+alanc> is the facility contract all signed & in order now?

+23:09 <+keithp> The CFP requests proposals by Aug 21, which seems a bit late if we want to do travel sponsorship. That's just copying from last year's CFP; anyone care if I bump it up to Aug 1?

+23:10 <+keithp> alanc: last I heard they'd gotten paid

+23:10 <+alanc> Aug 1 seems fine to me - gives 1.5 months to prepare

+23:10 <+alanc> and I'm sure we'll get talks later, just without travel sponsorship

+23:10 <+keithp> yup

+23:10 <+emmes> right. Aug 1 looks fine.

+23:11 <+keithp> ok, I'll give the paper committee a week to accept; anyone think they'll need more time?

+23:11 <marcoz> keithp: venue contract signed?

+23:11 <+keithp> marcoz: and paid even!

+23:11 <marcoz> yay.

+23:11 <mupuf> keithp: who is going to be on the paper committee?

+23:12 <+keithp> probably Ian and Bart

+23:12 <+keithp> unless others want to join the fun

+23:12  * mupuf can help on that

+23:12 <+emmes> It also seems I still don't have any funds for traveling, I'll ask our faculty, but I might need to ask the board for reimbursment this time again.

+23:12 <+keithp> emmes: you might be expected to present then :)

+23:13 <+emmes> I can also help, July/August is between terms, so not as much stress as before.

+23:13 <mupuf> yeah, I'll need funds too this year. I usually don't ask for europe trips, but I'll have a hard time getting funding from my uni this year

+23:13 <+emmes> keithp: I'll certainly find something of interest for you ;-)

+23:13 <+keithp> emmes: awesome!

+23:13 <+emmes> and if it is about experiences with software rendering :-P

+23:13 <+keithp> I've done my share of software rendering...

+23:14 <+emmes> I mean software rendering with OpenGL

+23:14 <+keithp> sounds good to me

+23:14  * mupuf is currently writing a paper about the big picture in power management on NVIDIA

+23:14 <+keithp> in any case, I'll send out the announcement and CFP immediately

+23:14 <+emmes> (which is breathtakingly fast nowadays, and still astonishingly broken sometimes)

+23:14 <mupuf> I can give another presentation about that

+23:15 <mupuf> but the paper will already be published though :s

+23:16 <+alanc> we don't mind having papers published elsewhere, as long as it's not the exact same talk you gave at a prior XDC

+23:16 <mupuf> alanc: oh, the talk will be different

+23:16 <mupuf> and I may add more experiments to the paper

+23:17 <marcoz> keithp, shall I mark the 'Keigh to send out announce emails'  item as completed?

+23:18 <+keithp> yes (as it is done now)

+23:18 <marcoz> yay. thx

+23:18 <+emmes> ok, what else do we have?

+23:18 <marcoz> mupuf:  are you formally requesting travel reimbursement at this time?

+23:19 <mupuf> marcoz: no, but I'm very likely to in the next few weeks

+23:19 <+alanc> as usual, when you're ready, please mail the board with rough estimates of travel costs

+23:19  * mupuf already had problems finding fundings for hardware-related stuff when his PhD study is usually considered as "networks"

+23:20 <mupuf> alanc: I'll do so. And I'll book my plane as early as possible to lower the cost

+23:20 <+alanc> The Network is the, umm, GPU?

+23:21 <mupuf> alanc: for some reason, people fail to realize the number of buses inside a computer make a complete network :D

+23:21 <mupuf> I would have liked to see agd5f, as he may have a report on the GSoC

+23:22 <mupuf> tstellar: no probs with calim I assume?

+23:22 <mupuf> err, curro

+23:24 <tstellar> mupuf: No, coding hasn't officially started yet, but I should try and touch base with him before then.

+23:25 <mupuf> oh, I thought it already started :) My student has been working for over a month already

+23:26 <tstellar> mupuf: Monday is the official start.

+23:26 <agd5f> sorry, lost track of time

+23:26 <+alanc> schedule is later this year than previous years

+23:26 <marcoz> *mupuf is a slavedriver to his students. ;)

+23:27 <mupuf> tstellar: ok, thanks :)

+23:27 <mupuf> marcoz: mouahahahaha. Well, he was eager to start, not my fault

+23:27 <marcoz> agd5f: any GSoC updates?

+23:27 <+emmes> think he still isn't here...

+23:28 <agd5f> marcoz: so far just helping answer questions for the student I'm co-mentoring

+23:28 <agd5f> I need to follow up with the entire mentor team this week

+23:29 <marcoz> agd5f: thx

+23:31 <marcoz> any other items to discuss? or further comments on existing  topics?

+23:32 <+keithp> I'm done here

+23:33 <+emmes> nothing from my side

+23:33 <marcoz> alanc,  mupuf ?

+23:33 <mupuf> marcoz: nothing here

+23:34 <marcoz> (in bad aussie accent)  i declare this meeting over. 

+23:34 <+alanc> I can't think of anything else

+23:34 <agd5f> I'm good
