Program selection
* Discuss program selection, do we stick to paper or use the spreadsheet that SF uploaded (via RH)? see https://basecamp.com/1920286/projects/762306-foss4g-13/attachments to download. >> Precedence to community vote, we focus on streaming and cohesiveness of programme. Steven suggests that all use spreadsheet to rank - using 0/1/2 and personal ranking. Mail to Steven on Tue night for collation.
* Progress on Community Voting >> Paul to send results on Tue. Lots of chatter.
* Workshops - 61 submissions, shortlist of 30ish. Could run extra day or incorporate into programme stream. Space to be included for platinum sponsors. Need to present in a sensitive way to keep community on board... Proposal for workshop programme needed for Wed.

* Plan to have a draft program at end of 25th and publish final version 7th May

Hackathon update
* Can IE and MI provide an update of progress >> IE: Met Office have a hackathon team who could run it if required - we would do admin stuff. Question over how to get internet access to tent - JM to check on access in each location. Eventbrite will produce list of delegates and we will do badges, catering.

Entertainment
