Dear all,
This is to announce that I subscribed Matthew, Martin and Howard from Symas to this list.
This is also to test this list.
And this is to ask whether any final decisions have been made with regard to the date.
Unfortunately a German conference on directories (https://www.zki.de/arbeitskreise/verzeichnisdienste/) will take place from October 1st and 2nd. That conference is visited mainly by directory experts of German higher education organisations, some of which might also want to attend ldapcon.
Cheers,
Peter

Thanks for that - I think we should avoid clashing with other LDAP events if at all possible!
We now have:
Monday 28th September to Thursday 1st October
1-2 Oct clashes with German conference on directories Also another conference on 28-29 Sept (Peter)
Monday 5th October to Wednesday 7th October
Clash with LinuxCon Dublin 5-7 Oct
Monday 9th November to Friday 13th November
Clash with LISA15, Washington DC May clash with ApacheCon Europe
Monday 16th November to Friday 20th November Monday 30th November to Friday 4th December
I think the clashes rule out September and October. I am not too worried about clashing with LISA15, and there is no sign of a date for ApacheCon Europe so the November dates are clash-free so far.
Michael has expressed a strong view that the conference should be as early as possible.
It looks as if the best compromise is 9-13 Nov so we could do:
9 Nov Tutorial day 10 Nov Conference day 1 11 Nov Conference day 2
or:
11 Nov Tutorial day 12 Nov Conference day 1 13 Nov Conference day 2
Comments rapidly please.

HI!
I also want to step back a bit and leave choosing a date up to Andrew and FLOSSUK people. So feel free to ignore my comments.
Ciao, Michael.

It seems to me that the most suitable week is Monday 9th November to Friday 13th November. If we go with that week then we just need to decide on the 3 days. If you want to hold the tutorial on the first day (which I reckon is a good plan) then it would suit our staff best if this happens on the Tuesday or Wednesday so that there is a working day beforehand to deal with the room setup. It would take a couple of hours to get the desks in and to ensure there is power and networking available on each desk. That can be done first thing in the morning but it's quite a rush and risks something not being ready in time.
I'd really like to get a firm decision by the end of this week so that we don't lose out to any other conferences.

OK - decision time - let's go for the end of the week so the tutorials are on Weds 11th and the conference is on Thurs/Fri 12/13 Nov.
Could you book that please?
I will start thinking about a timetable for submissions and a call for papers etc.
Andrew
Sounds good - what do you want to provide in the way of food etc, any conference dinner?
Do you want me to do the budget?

We will need to provide lunch on each day, and also tea/coffee and buns for morning and afternoon breaks.
There should be a conference dinner in some form. Ideally this would be in an interesting venue.
We might consider conference bags or t-shirts.
We will be calling for full papers, but probably not printing the proceedings: last time the papers were given to attendees on USB memory sticks. It may be better to do web-based distribution: I am thinking of a password-protected web area where we give the attendees the password at registration and then open it to the world a few weeks after the conference.
Do you want me to do the budget?
That would be very helpful - yes please!
There is usually scope for some sponsorship: the 2013 event had 3 gold sponsors (€2000) and 4 silver sponsors (€1000) plus one press partner. http://ldapcon.org/ldapcon_2013_sponsoring.pdf
Thanks

Caves again Stephen? It certainly counts as an interesting venue.

I will look at that then, it would be useful to know the numbers you expect to be paying, and how many you expect to be on free tickets.

Excellent
Kimball
Kimball,
as to your question about estimated numbers, I can give you the information about ldapcon 2011
Participants total: 66
Free Tickets (Speaker): 14 Early Bird Tickets: 31 (416,00 €) Regular Price Tickets: 20 (520,00 €) Reduced Price Ticket: 1 (170,00 €)
We rented a quit posh conference center, and thus had to charge those high amounts to break even. I assume, that you will be able to have smaller prices.
Cheers,
Peter
