Next LGM Meeting: 9.7.2025 18:00 CEST

# 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
