Meeting Notes

Planned by GUADEC team

• Birthday party at Science and Industry Museum
• 6 PM (party from 7 PM - 12 am) need to do clean up that same night
• Screens to project video/images
• Music
• Food will be provided - if we bring in new people, the conference is probably a better place to do it. If we feed people, we can't feed everyone.
• Might want to sell beer at the party

Goals

• Photo opportunity / generate materials for the actual party
  • let's have a cake! and make sure that we have pictures of it to cut the cake (e.g. Federico and Miguel)
  • we might want to set up a photo booth
  • they have a photo area that posts to twitter
  • we might want to have stickers that will identify people as not wanting to have their pictures taken
• Main social event of the conference
• Help people learn about the history of GNOME:
  • have a panel event during the party? maybe not make it super formal

Birthday wall at the party

• can write favorite memories, why they love GNOME, etc.
• would need to provide pens and maybe prompt people ok
• @GUADEC team to check if we can put butcher paper on a wall so that we can write messages on it

Video wall
