In April 2018 we had an e-mail discussion regarding changes to the SC.
Here is a – hopefully correct – summary of those changes.
1. First of all, I stated that I would like to step down as SC chair and become an alumni.
Kim Mens : SC Chair —> alumni
2. After that statement the name of Vadim was mentioned as new SC chair and supported by at least two SC members.
Vadim Zaytsev : SC member —> SC Chair
Vadim, would you accept to take on this task?
SATTOSE SC, are there any objections or other volunteers to take over my role as SC chair?
3. Finally, the following 2 persons were mentioned and supported as candidates to be added to the SC :
- Alexandre Bergel —> SC member
- Eleni Constantinou —> SC member
4. The following persons also expressed that they were willing to step down (in the future) if needed:
- Coen De Roover
- Oscar Nierstrasz
- Davide Di Ruscio
For the moment, unless there are any objections I would propose the changes 1, 2 and 3 above.
I would propose not to perform point 4 yet, in order to avoid having a drain of old SC members, unless some of those SC members insist to step down now.
All these points above have been discussed before.
Evidently, for point 2 it would be nice to have the new SC chair’s explicit agreement.
In case Vadim agrees and I here no further objections we can enact these changes.
That will then be my last act as SATTOSE SC chair.

Currently, I’m the only person managing the SATToSE mailing lists at sattose(a)list.inf.unibe.ch<mailto:sattose@list.inf.unibe.ch>
Since the mailing list is moderated, that implies that sometimes the response time can be slow, for example when I am on holidays.
Before, the mailing list was moderated by me and Oscar, but Oscar delegated that task to me a while back.
Even though I’m stepping down as SC chair, I don’t mind continuing to manage the mailing list, but it would be good to add a second manager.
Does anyone volunteer to manage the SATToSE mailing list with me?
This is a low-effort job, that amounts mostly to clicking yes to mails from members and reject to mails from spam bots.

Below, I just repeat all proposals for possible venues for SATTOSE 2019 that have been mentioned so far.
Since I’m stepping down as SATTOSE SC chair, I would prefer to leave the discussion to pick next year’s venue to the new chair.
In the mean time, my personal opinion on the venue is :
- It would be interesting to have it in Austria for once, but is there any concrete proposal?
- Having it organised in France again for the reasons mentioned would be good too.
- I don’t have any objection against Romain Robbes’ proposal to host it in Italy,
though I think it is a pity that would imply that SATTOSE is only 2 days then.
- Tunesia seems to be a bit too far.
- I didn’t hear any concrete proposals for any of the other venues mentioned
so for now I just consider them as loose ideas.
Suggested SATToSE 2019 venues
Italy
IT, Bolzano, Romain Robbes
We have a concrete offer from Romain here, collocated with a summer school.
It would be a SATTOSE that is shorter than usual though
(except for attendees that join both SATTOSE and the summer school)
Tunesia
Cf. a suggestion by Gregorio Robles.
Should this be investigated in more detail?
France In a previous discussion last year it was suggested it would be nice to have SATToSE organised in France again.
What happened to that idea? That idea would revive French participation in SATToSE again
since it diminished significantly in recent years. Tom suggested as possible venues:
FR, Bordeaux, Xavier Blanc, Jean-Remy Falleri
FR, Lille, Laurence Duchien
Netherlands Are any of these concrete proposal or just an initial suggestion by Tom.
NL, Groningen, Mircea Lungu or Tijs van der Storm
Nl, Alexander Serebrenik, Eindhoven
NL, Amsterdam, Magiel Bruntink
Luxemburg
LU, Luxemburg, Lionel Briand
Germany
DE, Hagen, Friedrich Steinmann
DE, Berlin or Potsdam
Austria
AT, Vienna, Manuel Wimmer or someone else ???
AT, Klagenfurt, Martin Pinzger
Denmark
DK, Copenhagen Andrzej Warszowski
Sweden
SE, Chalrmers, Michel Chaudron
