1.1.2 Registration
C: This week French pirates will install all stuff regarding that weekend, including registration form
Mab: for the visitor group we need some specific information, that Alessandro know and will pass to French pirates asap in order to have it at a glance when it will go live
F: don't worry, we're working on it
A: I will give you Florie all mandartory info so you can prepare a proper form. Thanks!
B: Remark: We can use https://www.eventbrite.com/ - very easy and it's for free - for registration.

Motion passed.

1.2 CEEP
1.2.1 Update on the discourse server
M: Discourse server has not been deployed yet. Good news is that it should be deployed while we're talking (or so).
B: I've set up the server and now there are some invoices to pay
M: the original idea is that we will migrate first Mattermost and then deploy Discourse in the same server later. The process is almost done.
Panda and I separated the costs for the incoming year so the migration and the discourse deployment can finish
Thanks, Bastian for all your effort.
Tomorrow or so we will need a group working on CEEP topic: Etienne, Cédric and Mab will help

1.2.2 Thematic coordinators for the new chapters approved at the last board meeting
M: has anyone an inside about the topic?
Mab: at last meeting we agree that we need to add these three new chapters:

  1. Security & Defense
  2. Drug policy\\  
  3. Regional development

and find proper coordinators for that
It's better to appoint someone instead of waiting another additional month.
B: It's very important to do that because time is running out
Mab: I do have access to database and know who proposed these topics, but it doesn't mean they want to coordinate them.
M: I will contact them and try to finalise everything soon and take the responsibility for it.
