Minutes of the meeting

Caterers

We had some offers for lunch boxes. The price didn't drop a lot.

So, Sidonie's offer is still the cheapest one and a good one. But people are still a little worried it may be too big for a small team. Guillaume Lelarge will ask her some references. It would help if we could get references that are similar sized with our event, because it proves they can deal with a large booking. But any reference is better than nothing.

Press logos

PHPSolution's editor in chief asks Guillaume Lelarge to write an article about 8.4, and a news about the pgday event in Paris. He would like to have PHPSolution logo on pgday's website. We need to keep the entry bar high to avoid de-valuing the logo placement for the paying sponsors. So, we can put PHPSolution's logo on the front page. We will add another page with “press about pgday”, where we will put press logos and link to the article or to the paper.

Call for papers

We should do that soonest. In fact, Dave Page took that part of the work and sent a draft on the pgday mailing list. The CfP will be proofreaded (at least Guillaume Smet will look at it), then translated and finally sent.

Next meeting

It would be great that more people attend to the meeting. We were only five this time, that's not enough. Next meeting is 2009-06-17, 9pm. Guillaume Lelarge will send reminders on the pgday mailing list.
