18:13:40 * decause knows mattdm will also be at devconf
18:13:56 <decause> and both visiting brno
18:14:04 <jkurik> do we plan to have a face-to-face council meeting ?
18:14:23 <langdon> probably should if we can swing it
18:14:31 <decause> jkurik: that would be super cool
18:14:36 <jkurik> I do not have any specific topic, I am just courios to be sure I make a time for it if needed

18:17:15 * langdon thinks it must be a rochester thing
18:17:23 * decause has too many decause-isms
18:17:28 <misc> just write "for (i=1;;)" on a paper
18:17:52 <langdon> misc, are you saying it will be an endless loop? cause that is just mean ;)
18:17:56 <jkurik> decause: ok, I can accept this action
18:18:06 <decause> #action jkurik start an email with decause/mattdm/langdon/stickster to coordinate possible council meeting in Brno

18:19:14 <decause> speaking of DevConf
18:19:19 <decause> right beforehand is FOSDEM
18:19:40 <decause> unofficially, I believe I got a "Fedora by the Numbers" talk accepted into the disto-devroom
18:19:59 <decause> and I will be helping to moderate the track, and MC'ing during FOSDEM
18:20:12 <langdon> decause, it is official: https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/fedora_by_the_numbers/

18:22:46 <decause> strong presence at FOSDEM this year. Great work all.
18:22:56 <langdon> #action langdon also needs to fix his abstract (fosdem seems to have included both short and long abstracts in the web page)
18:23:06 <decause> langdon: nod nod nod
18:23:43 <decause> langdon: the printing deadline has not pass yet (IIRC) and I think the short-desc is used in the books
18:23:52 <langdon> decause, ack
