NixCon 2024 preparation meetings

2024-04-02

I couldn’t make the meeting and no one took notes, so I quote from the org team’s Matrix room.

@julienmalka: The meeting was very short, but we announced that the PL team has decided not to go forward with the Zurich proposal for NixCon 2024. Even though the venue looks really good, the estimated TCA/cost of organization, associated with the absence of a formal contract, is putting the conference at too much risk. We will follow through soon to discuss with the Zurich team the potential path forward for this proposal to make it suitable for a future occurrence of NixCon.

@raitobezarius: The PL team met today and we discussed a quote we received from a professional conference center in Brussels for 20K EUR VAT excl., with no realistic catering for now.
I’m attaching the venue presentation, we would have all the areas for the 2 days, and only one area for the last day for the hacking day. EN - Area 42 Location salle évènement d'entreprise à Bruxelles
