| ibeardslee | I wonder if people are regretting the lack of spell checker for the Auckland 2015 LCA bid document. | 01:51 |

| ajmitch | ibeardslee: did a few mistakes creep in? | 01:53 |
| ibeardslee | I just wandered my eyes over it and for some reason managed to pick some out .. I hate that, partly because I don't see them when I am creating docs myself | 01:54 |
| ajmitch | of course, it's why there are separate editors | 01:55 |
| ajmitch | 34 page PDF, some work has gone into this | 01:56 |
| ibeardslee | always a lot easier to pick out someone else's mistakes than it is your own | 01:56 |
| ibeardslee | I know, hoping they can get it | 01:56 |
| ibeardslee | Knowing how much effort went into the Wellington bid, it's a job well done. | 01:57 |
| ajmitch | it's amusing that Dunedin & Wellington have had it prior to Auckland | 01:57 |
| ibeardslee | people with more drive in those areas? | 01:58 |
| ajmitch | quite likely | 01:58 |
| ibeardslee | Dunedin had a strong lug and uni, Wellington had Catalyst helping the organisers | 01:59 |
| ibeardslee | I think the bids are becoming quite professional | 02:01 |
| ajmitch | yes, it looks polished & well thought out from what I've seen | 02:01 |
| ajmitch | you were fairly involved with the wellington bid process, or did you join in once submitted? | 02:02 |
| ibeardslee | not intimately involved with the bid, but part of some discussion leading to the bid and process of helping with the acceptance of the bid. | 02:07 |
| olly_ | it's odd that LCA seems to be following OSDC around now | 02:12 |
| ibeardslee | and also often linked in with Drupal Downunder or Drupal South | 02:14 |
| ajmitch | it must help when there are some of the same people involved | 02:15 |
| ibeardslee | yeah .. people already have the contacts and know that one conf can learn from the other .. and probably helps negotiations with suppliers and venues "oh, by the way we are also putting in a bid for * if you want extra business" | 02:16 |
| ajmitch | I helped a little with kiwi pycon, I'm sure it'd be easier to run again with the same people, having the local contacts seems to help a lot | 02:18 |
