## Remember to  <strike> things </strike> and add your name and YYYY-MM-DD when they're done.

 * (./) --(Figure out how to do <strike>in moinmoin wiki</strike>, ask the ubuntu-doc team)--. PaulSladen 2007-03-26
 * (./) --(Mail the sysadmins to ask for a simple, quick easy 'ubucon-sevilla@' mailing list)-- Done waiting for response, PaulSladen 2007-03-26 (2007-03-29: still waiting...).
 * (./) Contact "John Mark" about the previous Ubucons.  Melissa Draper 2007-03-26.
  * John Mark Waller <johnmark@johnmark.org> 
  * Writeup of Mountain View here: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/513 (Mountain View)
  * About the existing mail mailing list: http://www.theubucon.org/mailman/listinfo/theubucon
 * Better wording/introduction. There's some good wording on the following which says: ''Part un-conference, part installfest, and part user group meeting, The UbuCon will take place simultaneously in one large auditorium and 3 - 6 small (~20 people) conference rooms.'' and sums things up really well in one sentence. From http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=348885
 * (./) Catering.  We've got funding for 50-100 people, and up-front funding to cover at least 50 people.  This means that we can go to the caters and sign-up for food/buffet for a minimum of 50 people and tell that there final numbers will likely be bigger. [*] Done, Luis de Bethencourt 2007-03-27, trying to decided what/when to have for drinks/lunch.
 * Need an RSVP page to give an idea of numbers and help people to car-share.
  * (./) This could be done using a group in launchpad and people "signing up" to it or a proper 'Sprint/Event' thing.  2007-03-27, Paul Sladen.  Go to https://launchpad.net/sprints/ubucon-sevilla/+attend
 * Find out central-point-of-contact for the University.  Eg. The building is locked and we need to get in... [*] [Ask Guadalinex].
 * Contact for the IT department at the University for network/bandwidth details. [*] [Ask Guadalinex].  luisbg has emailed Guadalinex 2007-03-26.
 * Work out format for talks (eg. 45minutes talk+questions and 15minutes faff/gap between sessions).
 * Work out time-table, a Spanish local tells me people have breakfast at 09:00, lunch at 14:00.  So if we run 10:00-17:30 that should allow people to travel from Madrid on the morning.
 * What do we need for a party?
  * Answer: "<luisbg> everybody there... food, internet, drinks (coffee's and beers) and cool stuff to do"
 * (./) Contact the local LUGs.  Done GatoLoko (I've wrote to all LUGs listed in http://libroblanco.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_mosforms&Itemid=80) 2007-03-30
 * Write a mail "calling for assistance/helpers" and it'll get seen by the spanish linux community.
  * Somebody (PaulSladen?) to draft in English and send to luisbg to translate/copy around everyone.
 * Poke Rob/Lifeless about an "ubuntu on tap" (box setup to do net-installs), useful for not only any new users that may be around, but anyone who wants to reinstall, and especially those without functional cd drives,
 * (./) Poster for the Ubucon
  * Melissa Draper did a poster that is available for download at [[http://www.ubuntu-spain.org/?q=node/15|ubuntu-spain.org]]
  * Poster was posted in various places through the university and some computer stores that support us.
 * ensure proper promotion on-campus at the University.  Easier to target the locals than pursading people to come from Barcelona.
 * Publicity:
  * Melissa might be able to do Linux.com, OSTG, Newsforge and they will also publish Press Releases on spec
   * Use material from hopefully interviewing John Mark about experiences of organizing the previous one
  * LWN, (and our own Fridge).  <1 months means it's probably too short notice for the paper press.
  * Ask Slashdot: How to throw a party.  What do we need, what are your worst install-fest experiences.
  * Ant30 publish a spanish introduction on [[http://eventos.barrapunto.com/article.pl?sid=07/04/19/238208|Barrapunto.com]] a Slashdot.com style in spanish and on [[http://meneame.net/story/conferencia-internacional-ubuntu-sevilla-mayo-2007|Meneame.net]] a Digg like system .
 * On the day:
  * Organise Posters
  * Direction signs (to Ubucon, Food, Toilets...)
 * On-going: Translation, keeping everything in sync.

* - ask guadalinex
