# VSF Organizational meeting 25 August 2020

## Present
Babak, Giulia, Anton

## Notes

### Next LRC speaker
We don't have anybody lined up!

Valla invited Michel Devoret for September 16th. 

There is a big conference going on next week(https://www.eps.org/group/CMD), so it could be a good week to skip.

### "Hyde park"/contributed talks

Idea:

- A completely hands off talk accommodated by VSF
- Recommended duration 30 minutes + long Q&A
- No/minimal review, VSF contribution automated as much as possible
- Probably a separate mailing list
- Automatically create a zoom meeting

Action point (Anton): move this to an issue, collect feedback.

### Question by Babak

How to organize a social program for a university colloquium series?

Anton attended an online talk with a free lunch (for local attendees)

### Anyons update

- Everybody confirmed except for one person, there is still no date. 

- Speaker diversity is a problem, search in progress

### Wiki organization

- Rename files as year, month, day.

### Next chair 

-  Babak
