  • DECISION: Timeline: Tickets sale should start August 1st.
    • Discussionon potentially have money back guarantee. Though a fixed number of cheap tickets has shown to be best incentive for early registration yet.
  • DECISION: Dates are set as previously discussed 9-10-11 of November. Potentially an evening session on the 8th + follow up discussion as done in 2011. ITU is confirmed.
  • DECISION: Survey should be used. Show results to be used in feedback feedback. Interactive where possible. Ask aspects for questions based on their perspective. Should preferrably be performed in all three phases pre-, during , and post conference. One person had a wish to try to keep number of top level questions down.
    • TODO: Template:Trim (User:Ljo) Property "Has description" (as page type) with input value "Comments_on_the_manifesto_from_FSCONS_2011|Manifesto feedback" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.

    • Equal gender division as previous year, One person brought up to keep in mind peoples labels on the actual persons. (see below) ==> Factor to keep track of over the years.

Oliver's opinion, proxied by Rikard

Oliver let me know via email that he wanted this to be expressed as his input during the meeting (which he couldn't attend):

Jag föreslår Allison Randal som en Keynotespeaker
se wiki för fakta vem hon är . Hon gav ett tal på förra
årets LinuxCon med titeln "the fallicty of the zerosum
game" och som gick ut på att aktörer på en marknad
inte alltid tävlar om ett givet antal resurser.

Personligen tycker jag att det skulle vara intressant med en 
en kvinnlig talare med teknisk bakgrund eftersom att föregående
år har de kvinnliga talarna främst haft en bakgrund inom
samhällsvetenskap, sociologi etc. Vilken bild ger vi
av FSCONS om alla kvinnliga keynotespeakers har den
typen av bakgrund, att kvinnor inte kan/ska programmera?

Tror dessutom att det skulle bli något enklare att få
sponsoring om vi kan nämna att Ubuntu's tekniska
arkitekt kommer att vara keynotespeaker.

In English: Oliver nominates Allison Randal for keynote. She has given a talk on LinuxCon on the topic "The fallacity of the zerosum game". Oliver suggests that we have a female speaker with a technical background, since the previous female speakers seem to have come from social sciences, rather than a pure technical background. He also thinks Randal will be a good name when contacting sponsors.
