# LGM Meeting: 4.02.2026 18:00 CEST
Agenda:
1. Having a public list of participants (being on the list should be optional) (ale)

3. ale has again ssh access to the website on tuxfamily (but not http). Is there anything that needs to be rescued?
4. Lasse: CFP has endend but will likely be extended. workshop proposals seem plenty, while talks are a bit short. Have to count and make a plan for the schedule.
- Lasse will answer all submissions shortly, some may require visa, i.e. time is short there
OPEN QUESTION FOR ANYONE READING:
- ale has again ssh access to the website on tuxfamily (but not http). Is there anything that needs to be rescued?
Protocol:
1. Public list of participants (opt-in) -> Lasse can add optional field(s) in the registration tool (name, project(s), maybe link)
2. ale: There are notes in there about the meetings at the end of the LGM with the handover to the next year. When it's public again, we can check how to add a page for the next year.
3. ale: the server is up again, but we have no redirection into it anymore. (and I can't run the WP instances) We can leave the question in the protocol and, maybe, somebody has ideas.
4. Lasse will check how the current proposals fit in a provisional schedule, we can share the CfP again with a note that talks can keep coming. ale: Also could just mention that a few more talks can still find a place, without necessarily extending the deadline for CfP
- ale will have a look at the registration form (Lasse mentions https://pretix.eu being used last year (and that it was a good experience))

- Online infra
## Announce the venue for 2026 (Nurenberg)
## LGM 2027
- We have one proposition for Berlin
- The next two meetings could be spent to speak about 2027 proposals
- Berlin
- Linz
- Palaiseau (near Paris)
- Atlanta (USA) was discussed – Canada would probably be a better option
- Brazil (São Paulo) maybe in 2028?
## Online infra
- Ale got in touch with Ben:
- everything should be fine for us. Only possible issue: the repository need to be on the KDE infrastructure for being deployed automatically to the web infrastructure: this might be a stepping stone for some local organizer who know only about Github (if they know anything about git).
- asked about having access to some web space and repositories to test the workflow (without switching the DNS for now!)
- Stefan finished the work for static copy 2007
# LGM Meeting: 20.8.2025 18:00 CEST

# LGM Meeting: 6.8.2025
Chair: askmeaboutloom
## 2026 News
- Reminder: Next meeting/August 20th is the soft deadline for the 2026 location decision
- Lasse: There is a group in Nuremberg who would do it (they had a meeting the week before which was nice and creative and they have some other ideas cooking)
- M43e: No news from Berlin, the contact person has not responded. Probably getting to close to the deadline, so Nuremberg is more realistic.
## Online Infra
- signalwerk is currently travelling and will continue work from next week on and will report at the next meeting
- ale plans to get in touch with KDE for the webspace before the end of next weekend.
## Drawpile happy news!
- Drawpile got its "public goodness" approved, so now it has a real organization behind it. It's also on fedi now: https://floss.social/@drawpile
# LGM Meeting 23.7.2025
Agenda:
- Anything else? Put it here now :)
## 2026 news from Lasse/Nuremberg
- No fixed location or date
- Would be doing it!
- Plan is AdBK > Backup location > Backup-Backup location (same venue as 2025)
## AMRO 2026 news (Simon)
- AMRO 2026 (Linz) is now tentatively scheduled for May 13-16th, we should avoid collision of dates
## 2026 news from Berlin (M43e)
- M43e has been on it, but no news/luck yet
## Online infrastructure (ale)
- DNS has been moved
- We should now think of:
* making all previous site static (for the ones that are not static yet)
* get a web space from KDE
* create repositories and hooks that publish the files to KDE
* switch the DNS entries
- signalwerk offers to help, they have static copies of all old lgm-pages with logs of missing/dead links
- ale will make a summary of repositories we already have on github and create a ticket in github so all info can converge there
- ale will get in touch with Ben to check about static web space and automated deployment options
- Lasse: As for KDE we should find out what the workflows are, e.g. to open a new repository
# LGM Meeting 9.7.2025
## 2026
- Lasse had a local group meeting in Nuremberg, goal is to do it first Tuesday each month.
- Exploring AdBK (art school) as a potential venue for 2026 and a potential backup, KBZ again as a (pricier) backup backup. Date-wise, April is a good candidate.
- M43e has support for space in Berlin at hand, but their contact is currently busy. Maybe more next meeting.
- No news with regards to Paris.
## Online Infrastructure (Ale)
- DNS entry is being moved to KDE.
- Previous years' LGM pages will be staticified.
- Dynamic pages (Wiki, WordPress) will need a solution thought up.
## 2025 (Lasse)
- Sponsorship/cost ratio still looks good, sponsors have yet to pay their invoices (bureaucracy).
## Meeting Meta
- Lasse will put a reminder in his calendar about announcing this here meeting on fedi including timezone(s).
## Next meeting
Chair for next meeting will be askmeaboutloom
# LGM Meeting 25.6.2025
## 2026
- M43e is actively looking for potential free venues in Berlin (for 100-300 attendees), will post when they hear more.
- Ale thinks there is a light chance for "near Paris" (but rather 2027), but hasn't heard from them
- If again Nuremberg, Lasse would try to get AdBK (art school) as venue (much cheaper), however he's not actively pursuing this at the moment
- August 20th now set as soft deadline for a 2026 location decision
## Online Infrastructure
- Intent to move the domain while it's not yet critical or a delicate time
- KDE would be ok take charge of the domain name
- Open question with KDE: "Would you still handle registration of the domain?" (Lasse is in contact)
- Not clear if KDE e.V. already agreed/would agree to cover domain fee
- Ale will contact Louis to get the domain name (as soon as further hand-over is clarified)
- As soon as Lasse gets answer from KDE things can proceed here
## 2025 (Lasse)
- Almost all invoices received and requests for reimbursement seem to be complete too
- Total cost and sponsored amount should match pretty well
## Meeting chair rotation
- The two following meetings will be chaired in rotation by demib0y and askmeaboutloom
