===== 2. Registration-related Issues =====
* Currently we have 47 people registered. It's quite a big spike from 2 days ago when we had only 16. Possibly it is the effect of distributing 1100 flyers over the last two days.
<blockquote>'''Participant Estimates'''* Regular attendees 100 - 150* Speakers 30* Volunteers 40* Faculty/Staff 30</blockquote>* Decided to extend the Early Bird registration until Tuesday, Oct. 8 if possible. Registration Form is a potential problem - Action<blockquote>Actions: * Daman to inquire Marketing about this* Emily to change the web site (if it turns out that we can make this change)</blockquote>
* Evite: Hans finally got it working but learned that Marketing people don't want to send it out (seems that they always did it in the past)
<blockquote>
* Yoav sent Evite to several Tech Media outlets
* Cathy suggested that we need to talk personally to Faculty Members and encourage them to promote FSOSS to their students
* John volunteered to hand out flyers during the meetup he was planning to go to tonight
* Decided to have a brief (15min - 20min) '''meeting on Wednesday, Oct 9, 10am''' to finalize the attendee numbers - needed for ordering food, shirts, swag
<blockquote>
Actions:
* Emily to book the room
</blockquote>
===== 3. Food & swag =====
<blockquote>
Actions:
* Daman to ask speakers about: dinner attendance, tshirt sizes, preferred time-slots, special requirements for their presentations (standard items available: PC, projector, wireless internet)
* Cathy to explore options regarding bags - make recommendations on Oct 10
* Chris to make recommendations for speakers swag - Oct 10

</blockquote>
===== 4. Other =====
* Dawn asked if we want demos by NexJ, MyOscar ... - Yes
* Video & Google Hangouts: Hans and Yoav are researching this. Determined that the connection has to be wired.
