i see pretix setted up, good job adisbladis!
<martyet-o>

weeeeeel
<martyet-o>
donation is fine
<martyet-o>
standard invoice is kinda trouble for us
<martyet-o>
but basically we can make also these invoices, just with +21% local tax (as its advertisement..)
<martyet-o>
donations are the best, so if anyone is fine with getting confirmation of donation, its best :)

martyet-o: donation receipt is fine (as written in the email) as long as it is in a Form accepted by the tax authorities
<fadenb>
our finance guy said that is the most important part :p
<zimbatm>
martyet-o: email inbound is working now, it was a small configuration mistake
<zimbatm>
adisbladis: can you let me know if outbound is still working on cfp?
<adisbladis>
zimbatm: Sure, I can try it
<adisbladis>
Nope, not working
<adisbladis>
Authentication error
<adisbladis>
zimbatm: ^
<zimbatm>
okay so the auth was attached to the domain
<snajpa>
martyet-o: to be exact, we can issue invoices, we just can't put for-profit billable items there
<snajpa>
so, sponsorship as a gift should be 100% fine
<snajpa>
on the invoice as an item
<snajpa>
in most states across the EU gifts to NGOs should be tax-deductible
<snajpa>
some states do require a signed contract to go with it though
<snajpa>
in those cases it would be best if the sponsor had a legally acceptable template in their language so we can just sign it
<fadenb>
"acceptable template in their language so we can just sign it" I will ask our CFO whether we have something like that. Not sure wether it needs to be from .cz though?
<snajpa>
fadenb: not sure what do you mean "to be from .cz" - do you mean in Czech lang as well? it doesn't have to be, as long as both parties agree
<snajpa>
better said, as long as no party
<snajpa>
disputes it (sorry pressed enter way too early)

hehe, no, I was thinking that the organisation that hands out the receipt might have to follow some local laws too?
<martyet-o>
uh, thats out of my knowledge, but making it multilangual (cz+en) should not be problem, not?
<martyet-o>
snajpa ^
<snajpa>
the law doesn't specify required languages for civic contracts
<martyet-o>
meh
<martyet-o>
thats awesome joke, Stripe is not supported here in Czech, we cant accept money as merchant here.. -_-
<martyet-o>
PayPal is for 0,3$ fix fee + 4,4% goosh
<martyet-o>
but this looks better, look at options and fees for credit cards, 2-3% per transaction and 0.25 eur fee (fix)
<martyet-o>
okay, lets play with PayPal
<martyet-o>
omg, non-protifable organization on PayPal probably newer existed..
<martyet-o>
they ask for such a bullshits..
<martyet-o>
sorry guys, but this looks really unreal, to setup, as stripe is not supported and about paypal im afraid of (what they are doing often) to block account because of insufficient/not correct/whatever account details
<martyet-o>
difference between these payment gateways on pretix and goout.net (premade solution) is just about 0,7eur difference in one-day ticket soooo, what do you think?
<martyet-o>
im sure just plain bank-transfer is not suitable for everyone
* martyet-o
is investigating goout.net but still trying to figure out if any other solution over pretix isnt there already
<andi->
I am sure we could probably allow stripe via another entity. zimbatm you offered to use your company for (parts of the) financial stuff? Would it be feasible to have a strip account for you and then you wire the money?
<andi->
I wouldn't want to move away from our pretix since it give us mostly superior features that make life easier later on
<andi->
have not checked yet but pretix also supports https://www.mollie.com/en/ and that doesn't look too bad
<zimbatm>
yeah I have a strip account we can use. Not sure what the legal implications would be though
<zimbatm>
stripe, not strip club account, obviously
<zimbatm>
andi-: do you know if the SaaS version of pretix includes the payment system?
<samueldr>
it's likely like how many contests or financial tools are canada-wide, but not available in Québec
<samueldr>
our laws are written in french
<samueldr>
and there is no official translation
<samueldr>
so e.g. a US or english-canadian business will draft with "legal" rules, check against english written law and exclude Québec from the things
<samueldr>
especially annoying in the financial realm
<zimbatm>
yeah I18n in the EU is a bitch for sure
<samueldr>
I'm thinking that is likely that they haven't (yet) had country-specific legal in there
<zimbatm>
it's weird that canada doesn't have a law to enforce the translation
<samueldr>
it has :)
<samueldr>
at the federal level
<zimbatm>
in switzerland everything, from product labels to laws, is translated in 3 languages
<samueldr>
the country has laws in french and english
<samueldr>
each province has its own laws for the official languages
<samueldr>
Québec has one official language, French, New-Brunswick is the only province with two official languages, french and english
<samueldr>
and of note here, it's the language for _law texts_
<zimbatm>
OMG, so I enabled Stripe Connect. Now I have to create an account inside of strip connect, and re-register my company
<samueldr>
:/ I (obviously) don't have a pretix install to look at
<samueldr>
so, I assume there is only one option to configure and it's for stripe connect?
<zimbatm>
yeah or deploy an old version of pretix I imagine that would work as well
<zimbatm>
(not that I am suggesting we do that)
<zimbatm>
I used to like point-and-click adventures
<zimbatm>
this feels more like a Sierra-type adventure where it's super easy to die
<zimbatm>
ok I need to go now, I'll figure out the refund webhook later
<adisbladis>
zimbatm: \o
<zimbatm>
adisbladis: martyet-o : I added the API keys, please test by switching to the sandbox keys and then using the fake cards: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards
<andi->
adisbladis: check those tickets out. I added the conference tickets to them so we can just book them as we advertise (includes 4 conference tickets)
<adisbladis>
andi-: I mean I did have a look but I don't think pretix can do that
<andi->
Mhmm I'll check later. At dinner right now.
<martyet-o>
hey
<martyet-o>
i think pretix can do that
<martyet-o>
there is checkbox i think i checked..
<martyet-o>
"require name for every ticket"
<martyet-o>
when i got through that all
<martyet-o>
guys, there is option to engrave logo of sponsors on back side of badge..
<adisbladis>
andi-: Oh actually I'm an idiot and confused by the UI
<adisbladis>
All the questions are already per "product"
<martyet-o>
as i said earlier, on top will be logos of sponsors and on bottom will be text regarding that dragon in logo (what it does mean in Brno)
<adisbladis>
andi-: So at the chekout stage you are already asked the questions once per ticket
<martyet-o>
adisbladis: its fine, when you order sponsoring, you have to specify name of every attendee
<martyet-o>
yeah
<adisbladis>
So we're good on that front :)
<martyet-o>
once per ticket, but in gold you have tickets 4, they are all included in checkout
<martyet-o>
so its fine :)
<martyet-o>
yeha!
<martyet-o>
i just need it then prepare
<martyet-o>
for catering i agreed with guy from venue on 14 days before conference deadline
<martyet-o>
i think similar deadline will be fine for badges too
<martyet-o>
how visitors got swag last year? just like that? or in bag?
* martyet-o
is thinking about paper bag - some regular one
<martyet-o>
and about hotel vouchers.. they want (dont know why?) sign a contract about this.. so im not sure if we will be ready till friday :(
<martyet-o>
do we really want 4 seats for silver sponsor?
* martyet-o
fixed number of tickets for bronze (it was set to 4)
<martyet-o>
also not sure if we want to ask sponsor (in any level) twice for dietary restrictions, t-shirt size, twitter, github..
<martyet-o>
i will set these questions only to standard ticket, which is included to that sponsor pack
<martyet-o>
nice, so much better now :)
<adisbladis>
martyet-o: Good :)
<martyet-o>
payment was successful :)
<martyet-o>
so it looks fine

is nixcon 2019 "on topic"?
* samueldr
checks year
* samueldr
checks topic
<samueldr>
well, topic is still technically right :)
<samueldr>
gchristensen: I guess so, otherwise discussions have been off-topic for a while
<gchristensen>
lol
<gchristensen>
I wonder if there is a chance for like some "newbies" track?
