zimbatm how about sponsors, did you anyhow proceed?
<martyet-o>
you said few weeks ago you will contact some of them :)
<zimbatm>
martyet-o: yep most of them are ready to sponsor, they just need more details on who to pay
<martyet-o>
adisbladis are you fine with date, do you plan to come? Or better - have you some time for organizing together? :) Im right now fine on myself, but later it will be little bit harder. If anyone here wants help, message me please :)
<adisbladis>
martyet-o: I've already booked my hotel :)
<martyet-o>
zimbatm: cool! You are owner of that foundation or.. ?
<martyet-o>
zimbatm: as its not easy with you and your time (no offense) we were thinking about making separate non-profit organization here in Czech so it will be easier to manage funding local conference
<adisbladis>
martyet-o: Just like I did last year I plan to try to arrange for all "practical" things when it comes to electricity, video infrastructure and the like.
<martyet-o>
adisbladis oh man, that was not necessarry! We would arrange it for you..
<zimbatm>
martyet-o: last year I used my own company to collect the funds
<martyet-o>
oh, okay, well we will definitely then make non-profit organization then :)
<zimbatm>
I don't know how much effort it is to create a non-profit just for a single event
<zimbatm>
but I think it's important that you get access to the funds easily and the less overhead the best
<zimbatm>
that way we can re-use the project for the next years
<adisbladis>
Would it be a wise move to do this under the Nixos foundation?
<zimbatm>
yeah the nixos foundation is also setup as a non-profit
<zimbatm>
but all members are quite busy, it's hard to move quickly
<adisbladis>
The other thing about that is that it might be hard to earmark money for the conference
<zimbatm>
yeah because of the legal status, the donations can't be for a given thing (like a sponsorship)
<martyet-o>
adisbladis: what exactly you mean with video infrastructure? I already contacted @flokli on discourse and our friends in AVC - local Czech team with rich equipment for recording, streaming and stuff about this
<martyet-o>
zimbatm legal status is not so easy, agree, but still doable, we will handle this
<adisbladis>
martyet-o: Last year the venue had practically nothing so we had to get cables, power strips, HDMI capture thingies etc etc
<adisbladis>
If we can borrow a bunch of stuff on-site, great. If we need anything I'll get it from asia.
<adisbladis>
I think we should have a call about all of this asap
<adisbladis>
To see what we have to sort out
<adisbladis>
And also make sure that martyet-o and other local orga have the knowledge we gained last year
<zimbatm>
adisbladis++
<zimbatm>
martyet-o: if you want to create a new non-profit it's fine
<adisbladis>
I suggest some evening this week. Thursday 20:00UTC?
<zimbatm>
works for me
<zimbatm>
we already had a call once just me and martyet-o
<martyet-o>
zimbatm ad opencollective.com thats no-go for us. Its not resolving troubles with legality here
<martyet-o>
also, can you tell me, why/what is nixos foundation supposed to do/support when everyone in there is busy?
<sphalerite>
@ channel ops ( zimbatm ?) Having the logs link in the channel topic might be good
<martyet-o>
dont see any logic here :-( but as you already pointed, access to funds will be too complicated, we will run it locally with our own non-profit organisation
<sphalerite>
martyet-o: the foundation owns the hardware running hydra and stuff, and does take care of that :)
<martyet-o>
well, i dont see this as argument as much we are managing this hardware https://vpsadmin.vpsfree.cz in vpsfree and not doing just this
<martyet-o>
like, no offense, but we know its not that hard, so im curious what else is happening there
<sphalerite>
the foundation isn't full-time employment for its members, they all have jobs that take up their time
<martyet-o>
adisbladis ah i see what u mean - venue owner is okay with some basic equipment, but different country plugs (like america for example) are not managed by them
<martyet-o>
sphalerite we are also not full-time employeed, thats why im curious.. we ARE really busy :)
<sphalerite>
ah ok. I don't know the exact details, I'm not actually involved with the foundation
<martyet-o>
but okay, i see you have probably smaller goals :)
<martyet-o>
its okay, im not involved in nixos either, just was curious. Doesnt matter for now. What matters for me is NixCon 2019 actually :-D
<martyet-o>
adisbladis + zimbatm + flokli im fine with thursday 20:00UTC too :) Can you please zimbatm make it in Google Hangout and invite as?
