Agenda

1. Set the date for WordCamp Oslo 2018
2. Initialise the organization
3. Find possible venues
4. Open floor

Set the date

• November 2017, which was the initial suggestion was dropped in favor of early 2018.
• Because of winter breaks and the Olympics being in February, the first weekend of March was set as the optimal date.
• It was decided to have a two-day conference, with contributors day March 2nd and conference March 3rd.
• The first weekend in February is backup until the venues have been booked etc.

Setting the organization

• Thomas Audunhus will be the lead organizer of WordCamp Oslo 2018, as long as this gets approved by WPCS.
• Bjørn Johansen and Andreas Hatlem volunteered
• No other roles have been set, so far
• Thomas Audunhus has sent the initial application to host WordCamp Oslo to WordPress Community Support.

Venues

• There are a few different venue options, within the budget
• Posthuset is one of them, and it’s confirmed to be available
• Campus Kristiania is another option and is likely to be the cheapest option as we only have to cover the cost of cleaning etc.
• Dekode will possibly be able and willing to host the contributor day in their new offices

Miscellaneous

• Date and time for the next meeting will be discussed at the upcoming meetup in Oslo, August 24th.

The meeting was adjourned with style by Bjørn at 20:06 UTC+2
