(If anybody else is waiting on a reply from me, please give me a kick.) Having decent wifi at the conference feels like it's of pretty high priority, and I'd like us to find a way of paying for it. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the original budget, and while we have some contingency (and some reserves), we need to be sure that if we spend the money, it's a good investment. A handful of questions - Is the ?3k an upper limit on what this would cost, or is that just for dishes on the roof? - Have we talked to City Hall about putting some dishes on their roof? Are they happy with the idea? - What would happen if we put some dishes on the roof, but it turned out they didn't work for some reason? Would we lose the money? - Could we get less good provision (but still better than what's currently there) for less money? That is, would two dishes be good enough? - Would maxwifi be able to help with things like traffic shaping? - When would maxwifi need us to confirm our order? Thanks, Peter.

This is my fault because I haven't been looking at my diary recently, and so missed both of them. Vince has suggested setting up reminders for the meetings (see this issue ). The schedule is in this calendar , and I was able to set up Google to email me reminders by clicking on the plus sign in the bottom right corner. If anybody knows how to get reminders sent to the pyconuk-adm-priv list, please claim the issue and go ahead. Daniele, Vince, and I are going to have a hangout at 2pm tomorrow afternoon, to discuss some things relating to the venue. If you're free, you should join us. After tomorrow, we'll do our best to go back to the original schedule. (I know that not everybody can use Google Hangouts, so I'd love to find an alternative. We've tried appear.in and jitsu, neither of which has worked very well. Let me know if you know of something else that works.) *Slack* Some of us have begun to use Slack to discuss things relating to the conference. It's working quite well, and I'd like to encourage everybody on this list to drop in every day or two and join in discussions. You should all have received an invitation a few weeks ago, but please let George know if you've lost it. *Mailing lists* Please don't assume that just because you've mentioned something on Slack that everybody will have read it. Any announcements should be made on one of the mailing lists. I'd like us to continue using the original list (pyconuk-adm) where possible, as it has quite a few casual members who have said they'd like to help out for small things. This list (pyconuk-adm-priv) is smaller, and the membership is just people who signed up to the PyCon UK Society committee at last year's conference, plus some of last year's organisers who're keen to continue to be involved. It's primarily for discussions that need to stay private, but I'm also using it for announcements of the catch-up calls, since I want to avoid these calls getting too big. *GitHub Issues* Please continue to use GitHub issues for tracking what you're working on, and please try find a way to keep on top of your notifications. You might find it helpful to follow the #github channel on Slack, which is a firehose of all our activity on GitHub. If you've got any questions or suggestions, let me know! Cheers, Peter. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In 2016, we can just tell delegates to bring their own mobile broadband if they depend on reliable/better wifi than the venue gives. We could buy ten mobile Internet dongles each with a month of broadband for ?30 each (better deals may be available), we could then lend them to speakers and others who still didn't turn up with Internet.

Trust me when I say that if we provide crappy wifi, 50% or more of the social media response to PyCon UK will be about that crappy wifi. At tech conferences, delegates really notice when they can?t get online. And saying that we can tell delegates to bring their own mobile broadband is pretty extreme: in those cases that?s basically going to be amounting to us telling them that we were unwilling to solve a relatively simple problem. Providing internet at conferences is on roughly the same level of importance as providing beverages other than water: it?s not mandatory, but it?s certainly expected.

If we set expectations well enough in advance, and provide dongles to speakers when speaking, I'm sure we can get away with not doing anything extra about the wifi. However, it still feels a bit disappointing, and Cory's right that it'll upset some people. In particular, not everyone will have phone contracts with enough of a data allowance for, say, downloading large packages from PyPI. (The scipy wheel, for instance, is ~40MB.) Can we wait until we've got some more information from maxwifi before making a decision?

(The scipy wheel, for instance, is ~40MB.) However, on the particular point of PyPi, we can take it with us to Wales. There are lots of these mirror things, I don't know if this is the current trendy. http://doc.devpi.net/latest/index.html https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0381/ Even if we do the satellites etc, this might be a good idea anyway. > > Can we wait until we've got some more information from maxwifi before making > a decision? > > > > On 9 June 2016 at 13:22, Daniele Procida wrote: >> >> Il giorno gio giu 09 2016, alle ore 13:16:46, Cory Benfield >> ha scritto: >> >> > Trust me when I say that if we provide crappy wifi, 50% or more of the >> > social media response to PyCon UK will be about that crappy wifi.

However, there's still more we could be doing! The more we can get in sponsorship, the more fun we can have at the conference. Please take a look at the sponsorship spreadsheet , and do the following: - If you see a company that you have a connection with, and think that you might be able to make an introduction, please let the person listed as handler know - If you see a company that has no handler listed and think that you could get in touch, please put yourself down as handler - If you know of any likely sponsors who are missing, please add them Thanks, Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As such, we're going to try having a short call every two days, alternating between 2pm and 8pm. The purpose of these calls is to try to make sure that nothing further slips through the gaps -- because of a miscommunication, we almost ended up with no venue for activities on the Thursday. Nobody is expected to come to all of the meetings, but it'd be great if you could all try to drop in to some of them. The first such meeting will be tomorrow at 2pm, and I'll send a link to the Hangout just beforehand. Cheers, Peter. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I expect this will likely be cost prohibitive. Regards Craig -- I can?t see you needing more bandwidth than that, ?3k will bring you in 4 dishes. at 16Mb down and 4Mb up per dish. We can?t bond them but we can balance the traffic over them so that should be fine. Note: The ?3k is for the connectivity the second part of the quote for ?10 was to deliver everything else such as engineering, routers, AP?s, switches and cabling. We have had no discussion with venue at the stage The dishes would only sited after a survey so it would be known that they will work before hand. We can reduce the number of dishes and that would reduce the speed available and of course have a negative impact on the user experience. Its very difficult to provide a figure for bandwidth for an event as there is no previous bench mark to work off. So we should make sure that expectations are set before we agree a final number of dishes. Our event support engineer conducts live traffic shaping on-site to ensure that nobody is hogging the bandwidth for non event related activities such as iTunes or peer to peer activity. The sooner we receive the order the sooner we can proceed with the site survey for dishes but Id suggest you talk to the venue first to check they will allow us on the roof Richard Hughes Director Richard at maxwifi.co.uk On 08/06/16 09:07, Peter Inglesby wrote: > Hi Craig, > > Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, and thanks for the nudge! > (If anybody else is waiting on a reply from me, please give me a kick.) > > Having decent wifi at the conference feels like it's of pretty high > priority, and I'd like us to find a way of paying for it. > Unfortunately, it wasn't in the original budget, and while we have some > contingency (and some reserves), we need to be sure that if we spend the > money, it's a good investment. > > A handful of questions > > * Is the ?3k an upper limit on what this would cost, or is that just > for dishes on the roof? > * Have we talked to City Hall about putting some dishes on their > roof?

Unfortunately, I think ?13k is going to be a lot more than we can pay for. This means that we're going to have to plan for a low-wifi conference, which is a shame but not the end of the world. In particular, it means we'll have to: - clearly set expectations, and ask people to avoid using the wifi unless requied - encourage people to bring devices that they can tether from - get workshop leaders to make all their materials and setup instructions available in advance - buy dongles that we can give to speakers if required - maybe buy dongles that we can make available to delegates for short periods at the reception desck Anybody else: thoughts? Cheers, Peter.

(a la Smashing Magazine did recently: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/offline/ ) I think Peter's points all makes sense and seem the best option if we can't get proper WiFi. Everyone will be in different situations, but my suspicion is this will matter to a lesser extent for casual mobile web access, but more for people using laptops (esp if presenting something reliant on a connection). Tethering may help for some, but I know it's not an official option on my current contact (nor any I've ever had) even though it works the rare times I've tried it briefly. Dongles might well work but will be an extra hassle to manage. It'll be crucial to encourage speakers to think up front about what they'd do if their presentation didn't have a connection available (eg having some sort of screen capture of any key interactive parts to hand). This is probably good practice anyway, but will be more important if a connection is likely to be shaky/unavailable.

There's a PDF at . The five posters are: * Open Day (generic version) * Open Day (aimed at schools) * Children's Day * Teachers' Day * Python for researchers Please check them for typos, broken links, errors with dates, spelling, typos - all the things that I'm blind to after working on them. The original file is in Apple Pages if anyone else is a design/layout wizard.

Let's try this again. In general, I think these are great. Some specific feedback: - The Open Day URL is /open-day, not /openday. If it's too late, we can add a redirect to the website, but I think /open-day reads better - It's a bit of a stretch to say that Python's the main programming language for the micro:bit - It's "micro:bit" or "Micro Bit", not "microbit" (apparently) - You've got "Teacher's" day in the subheading, but it should be "Teachers' day" (or "Teachers' Day" for consistency with "Children's Day") Thanks for doing this!
