Agenda for today

Logistics

Koster: maybe need a sponsor?

Kaz: right
… would be nicer to have a place for preparation on Sat/Sun (Nov 8/9)
… right before TPAC on 10-14 November
… our usual style is:
… Plugfest preparation on Sat/Sun
… Demonstration on Wednesday during Breakouts
… Report and discussion on Thu/Fri

Participation

Koster: would we invite CG participants?
… Plugfest itself could be open

Ege: TPAC is open to anybody. right?

Kaz: usually yes, but the detail for TPAC 2025 is not announced yet

Ege: what about remote participation?

Koster: requires VPN, etc.

Ege: also specific setting for the network

Kaz: can talk with Naomi about that
… regarding VPN, we should consult with Toumura-san again

Ege: yeah, but depends on the need

Koster: need an owner for each task
… we'll figure that out

Sponsor

Koster: we need a sponsor for the preparation

Kaz: yes, a Member company in Kobe
… can ask Naomi about the hotel meeting room as a starting point

Koster: need clarification about the hotel network anyway

Wiki pages

Daniel: should have a questionnaire about participation in general

Kaz: right
… will create two Doodle poll, one for Plugfest (and prep) and F2F

Daniel: maybe we can put our names with probability on the wiki as usual :)

Kaz: yeah, that's also fine :)

Koster: need a signup page
… any other points around logistics?

Ege: power supply, etc.?

Kaz: right
… let's create a table about participants' expected settings also
… like we did for the one in Munich last year
… I'll create one for Kobe based on the wiki page for Munich Plugfest

ACTION: Kaz to create a wiki page for TPAC and Plugfest

AOB

Koster: any other point?

Kaz: think this is a good starting point for today

Koster: ok
… should talk about the concrete setting and scenario next time

Ege: how to handle new people?
… what would be our final goal this time?

Cristiano: wondering if we might want to have yet another Plugfest before TPAC

Ege: need to talk with Sebastian
… could be a "pre-Plugfest" rather than "another Plugfest"

Kaz: personally think it would be nicer to have everybody including non-WG participants (e.g., CG participants) as well for the Plugfest during TPAC

Ege: agree
… would be better from the travel budget viewpoint

David: pretty sure Josh and I'll join TPAC

Daniel: we could think about online setting as well

Ege: would be great to have more participants from Japan as well

Kaz: would check with ECHONET working on smart homes and IPA DADC working on smart buildings

Ege: would be perfect if we could invite ECHONET

Koster: good
… any other discussion for today?
