funding for admin weekend

Hello,

like last year, the admin team of TDF would like to gather for an internal meeting, in order to discuss and work on important topics, such as virtualiziation, HA/failover, system upgrade and such.

Last year, we met in Munich's Café Netzwerk, and this year, we have an offer to stay in the LinuxHotel in Essen (http://www.linuxhotel.de), a very attracting place for geeks. :wink:

The total cost for having all the 13 admins in Essen, including sleeping in the hotel, breakfast and having a lecture room + WiFi, would be around 840 ¤ for whole weekend.

What do people generally think about that? Does this sound senseful and would the board be willing to approve let's say 1.000 ¤ in total, excluding travel fees?

  Sounds really important.

  Cool.

  Wow; 840 for 13 of you ? that's amazing - I should move my family there
too.

What do people generally think about that? Does this sound senseful and
would the board be willing to approve let's say 1.000 € in total,
excluding travel fees?

  +1 for a $1k budget - the sysadmins do some fantastic work, and it
makes perfect sense to get them together; sounds like a bargin to me
[ were you asking for a formal vote ].

  ATB,

    Michael.

Yes, absolutely. Beyond that, should we fix some travel budget as
well?

Cheers,

Hi,

to Michael's question: LinuxHotel offers real outstanding prices for communities, that's why it is so affordable. :slight_smile: And yes, I'd like to have a poll on that, until we have fixed some budgets, just so it is formally correct.

To your question, Thorsten: Either we do it separately, with our travel refund policy, or we do it specifically for that event.

Florian

Agreed from my side...

Best,

OK for the meeting expenses.

Can we get a report of the achievements?

Regards

The vote is quorate.

A quorum could be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes.
