Great.

I'm pushing again for the visual identity for 2018 since I consider it's
the only essential thing left before the first communication campaign. We
have a first proposal[1] and I expect at least a second one in a couple
days.

Do you have a timeline for other key dates yet? For example, these dates:

The only restriction to me to decide CfP and registration open is the app
to manage it. I don't know how the GUADEC app works or requires to be set
up. Anyone can point me to a contact person, please?

Some of you knows I've been working with other conference software, OSEM,
but IMHO seems to be suboptimal for GUADEC so I guess the reasonable
decision is to reuse the 2017 tool.

So, as far as I see the big step for a definitive calendar it's when the
conference system could be up to receive proposals and attendees
registrations.

I can imagine a calendar like this:


   - CfP opens: March 1st
   - Registration opens: March 1st
   - CfP closes: April 29th

Obviously conference app should be ready before Feb 28!

Speakers can be announced as soon as they confirm.


Also, do you have meetings planned?

Not really. But it's time.

I can propose any day from Feb 6- 9th, for example.

Would be nice to start populating this:
