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
