Should we already create a palceholder on meetup.com for the second meetup (and link it)? Gives people a place to volunteer themselves as speakers 😀

[Titus-von-Koeller]

yes, if you could do that, it would be great.. otherwise, I might get to it
sometime this weekend..

Great work on finding a location for the first one :D

@Sebubu does the description of the talk work for you?

How does one of 6, 7, 8 December work for you guys? We will have to play the iteration game between speakers and location 😀

[SeverinAlexB]

@betatim If @jaimefrio accepts OSMDeepOD as topic then everything is fine 😄

[betatim]

@metaodi could we use the Arena again on 7 December please?

[metaodi]

@betatim unfortunately the Arena is already used for another event on 7 December. Actually the only possible day in this week would be Friday.

[betatim]

Ok, we'll shop around and get back to you. Friday doesn't seem ideal for a meetup.

@aktion-hip What about organizing a room at ETH ?

[Titus-von-Koeller]

I think we should announce the meetup and see from there.. I took a day to
find a room last time after the announcement.. Thanks all for taking the
initiative in organizing this one :)

I could try to book a room in the ETH Hauptgebäude on 6/7/8 of December either for max 50 persons or a lecture hall (up to 160 persons).
Should I give it a try?
If yes: What size would you prefer?

[betatim]

Yes please! I think 50 people would be enough. The Python meetup will be on the 8th so maybe we strike that date as a possibility.

[aktion-hip]

@betatim To be clear: by strike, you mean eliminate?

[betatim]

Correct. Don't want to create competition between the python meetups 😀

[betatim]

Rackspace got back to us https://twitter.com/Rackspace/status/800718020293382144 so we now have two "maybes" for rooms.

[betatim]

Which reminds me, any interest to be the second speaker anyone?

[aktion-hip]

Good news concerning the room issue. I successfully booked the room HG E 41 on Di, 6. Dezember 2016, Zeit: 19-22 h.
The room is right in the corner of Rämistrasse/Karl-Schmid-Strasse (entrance level, see ETH main building ground plan).

[Titus-von-Koeller]

great news, thanks!!

[uweschmitt]

Thank @aktion-hip, he suggested that, he is the ETH infrastructure pro :)

[betatim]

Rumour has it the front door to the ETH building locks at 7pm? If yes we should post on the meetup page to let people know that they should arrive 5-10min early.

[betatim]

Is there any restriction from ETH on us bringing drinks and nibbles like last time?

[aktion-hip]

I'm gonna clarify this and will provide the proper information.

[aktion-hip]

@betatim
Concerning the opening hours of the ETH main building, there’s no problem. The building is open from 6am to 10pm (see Öffnungszeiten HG).
Concerning the drinks and nibbles: this should be no problem, given the room is left in the same state it was before.
Another note: The room HG E 41 is occupied up to 7pm. Therefore, we can enter it at the earliest on 7pm.

[uweschmitt]

Sorry, I could not come today I was the full day sick in bed and totally forgot to inform you. I hope you could use the room ?

[betatim]

Yes and it was super! :) Thanks for organising this.

[uweschmitt]

How many came ?

[aktion-hip]

I got the following complaint:
...
Sehr geehrter Herr Luthiger

Ich weiss nicht, ob ich bei Ihnen an der richtigen Adresse bin. Gemäss Raumbuchungsprogramm haben Sie gestern Abend als letzter den Raum HG E41 genutzt (ID WCMS, LMS & Mobile Applications).
Meine Mitarbeiter fanden heute Morgen eine grössere Anzahl leerer Bierdosen in dem Raum vor (siehe Foto unten).
Ich möchte Sie darauf hinweisen, dass das Konsumieren von Speisen und Getränken in den Schulungsräumen untersagt ist.

Freundliche Grüsse
Christoph Schumann
...
Can you comment on this?

[uweschmitt]

@aktion-hip I'm very sorry. I promised to to take care and was to late to find somebody who could care about the room. See my post above. I just sent you a private email.

[aktion-hip]

@uweschmitt Yes, I noticed that and I don't blame you.

[betatim]

:( Sorry about that. We made an effort to leave the room in the state we found it in etc but didn't realise about the no drinking/eating rules. Is there something we can do to help fix this?

[aktion-hip]

@betatim Well, it’s a little bit unfortunate to leave these traces. But I see, the cause was that we (the ETH people) could not get it to this meetup and take our share of the responsibility.

However, I think there’s no need to overvalue this if it’s only two bags of empty beer cans (according to the photo I got). I guess I can handle this (i.e. iron it out ;-)).

[uweschmitt]

😅

[Titus-von-Koeller]

it was only the two trashbags and we didn't know that it was not allowed to eat and drink.. we left everything tidy and of course we would have acted differently if we would have known. I just went to check and take them away in case, but they re not there anymore.. Sorry again and thanks for letting us have the room! @uweschmitt hope you get well soon and sorry again for the hassle!

@TitusCornelius

... and we didn't know that it was not allowed to eat and drink ...

Yes, I missed to communicate that.
I just phoned to the ETH facility people and they confirmed that they have no further complaints.
Therefore, I hope we can do further meetups at the ETH if desired.
