Local meetup London on 26 February 2024: please reply to topic to confirm attendance

@ankursinha you mentioned/tagged Daniel Milnes already in your recent
post (it’s thebeanogamer), but I cannot link “Harley Godfrey” to a user
within fedoraproject.org. Since there are anyway some more participants
from Red Hat to be added, I suggest to stick with my earlier suggestion:
propagate a deadline here for participants to submit their details to you.

Sounds good. I think I only need the names a day or two before to send to security, but for the purposes of setting up an agenda etc., we should probably have an earlier deadline. Let’s go with:

Please confirm your attendance by the 12th of February

That gives us two full weeks to plan things out. Does that sound OK everyone? (we can edit the first post to note this there too, I’ve edited the topic for the moment)

They must’ve seen the doodle here, but yeh, I can’t find them at the moment either. I think I did find them on reddit. Hopefully, they’ll see the subsequent posts here and let us know.

Sounds good, I should be able to join for that.

I don’t think Discourse notifies you if you get @-ed in an edit, I didn’t get an email about this message.

@thebeanogamer and others: Don’t forget to send Ankur your full name
and affiliation over one of the above mentioned
channels

so that he can register you at UCL.

Yeh, I’m not sure how e-mail notifications work. When I check the site here, topics that I’ve participated in or was mentioned in are flagged to me—either in “unread” or in notifications. Maybe check your e-mail preferences in case there is something there that says “always email me when I’m mentioned”?

There’s no other easy way to notify people. I guess we could try to email people at their FAS aliases, but if they’re not in more than one FAS group, those aliases don’t work either.

Do people get e-mail notifications for PMs? I can PM people if that works?

And yes, please do send me some basic info about you so I can pass it on to UCL security if needed. (We sort of need to know who is coming anyway)

I can bring some RISC-V hardware if anyone is interested.

No worries at all. Added you to the list too.

Just curious if boards are HiFive? Will be excited to see actual RISC-V boards

I believe RISC-V is a bridge between academic research and industry in the areas of automotive and HPC. I’m currently sitting at one of open hardware tracks in a conference. I’m surrounded by Open hardware developers and many of them are RISC-V people. :pray: See you soon.

Massive thanks for organizing the venue for London Meetup.

I believe we could start shaping up agenda in a single view and make it grouped into a couple of themes/tracks. I created an Etherpad teamdoc so we can reiterate it on interactively.

I have a very large selection of RISC-V boards and machines. I don’t think I’ll be able to bring many but I’ll try to bring an interesting selection.

Just to check, this is happening in UCL? I think at some point the Red Hat office was mentioned.

Yes, this one will happen at UCL: the IOE building, room 639.

We also have a channel on chat.fedoraproject.org (matrix) now:

Please do join it, and we can also use this for communication on the day of the meeting etc.

Is the time we originally aimed (1800-2100 uk time) fixed?

The room is booked from 1700—2100, so I’ll head there at 1700 to check the place out and then receive folks and let them in using my ID etc. as required (please ping me on the matrix channel if required, I’ll be monitoring it). Since folks will be coming after work, we thought 1800 would be a good time to start, but feel free to turn up before if you’re free?
