We can bring food into our rooms, but not into the Kennedy Room for the FAD. 00:55:07 So I propose we all wear trenchcoats and smuggle the bagles and coffee in. 00:55:32 Also, hardware -- I will be bringing power strips and extension cords so we aren't charged an arm and a leg like we were last year 00:55:54 ok, that's the FAD room discussion ... 00:55:58 are we done with the booth?

00:58:44 yes 00:58:57 food ... last year I did shoppiing before leaving Santa Cruz 00:59:08 and spread it on the table, and promptly got in trouble 00:59:27 but we can't NOT have food for our teams 00:59:37 so if we dispersed food to each person's personal bag 00:59:49 they can't object to "brown bag lunch" 00:59:54 it's not as friendly ... 01:00:08 and try for a clear lunch break out in the world 01:00:25 * quaid has a backpack ... with a big box of coffee in it 01:00:35 coffee is requires 01:00:38 *required 01:00:54 but a definitely lunch time will probably have to be the way to go 01:00:55 #action quaid to shop for food before he leaves hometown 01:01:07 like i said i hope they have a drink machine 01:01:08 #action FAD schedule needs to be created on webpage 01:01:17 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SCALE_8x_2010_FAD 01:01:30 I'm going to dump a few things from here there right now 01:02:01 And bring extension cords and power strips (see above) 01:02:04 * lcafiero takes a bow 01:04:09 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SCALE_8x_2010_FAD#Schedule 01:04:11 how does that sound 01:04:14 * quaid adds wires and stuff now 01:04:16 The room has wireless and I think it has a projector 01:04:35 yeah, the wireless was weird last year, but it did work for spurts 01:04:44 I'm sure the organizers were aware and will be on that 01:04:56 but that's why having our own network is key so we can work offline 01:04:57 oh! 01:05:01 can anyone bring 01:05:05 a repo of F12 and Rawhide 01:05:24 it needs to be full ideally so we can do spins locally 01:05:26 why rawhide? 01:05:38 quaid, i will have a portable mirror 01:05:42 if rawhide is testable ... 01:05:59 then we can give out USB keys with a live rawhide to test :) 01:06:03 VileGent: thank you 01:06:11 i am not syncing rawhide but i can 01:06:24 #action VileGent will bring the portable mirror of F12 updates, rawhide too if possible 01:07:28 ok, anything more on the FAD? 01:07:42 I can be FAD owner 01:07:57 that is fine with me 01:08:18 * quaid wouldn't shove this one on anyone anyway :) 01:08:25 lol 01:08:32 I'll note the assignments there so we can take turns with "door monitor" 01:09:00 people drop by and need to get acclimated or sorted out; it's disruptive to the getting done of things of the people involved in that are also doing the door 01:09:27 but last year the door was really important, good chance to introduce people to the project, etc. 01:10:27 I can do that, as I did last year. 01:10:44 we can also rotate 01:10:53 OK 01:11:02 let's have you to start then :) 01:11:29 OK, but bear in mind you and I have to go to WIOS at 10:30, I think. 01:11:47 we can see what shows up, if someone shows up needing help with fedora i can help them 01:12:14 lcafiero: oh yeah 01:12:19 I think that's 10 to 10:50 01:12:29 * vwbusguy will be right back 01:12:31 * quaid smacks himself in the head 01:12:40 well, if I can leave the tasks clear enough 01:12:45 stuff can happen without me there :) 01:13:02 I'm going to bump the schedule back a bit 01:13:15 or is it too gross to suggest we start before 9? 01:13:19 Actually, we can get folks started and then turn it over to capable hands . . . . 01:13:24 yes 01:14:21 what is the kennedy room times 01:14:33 I don't think so -- but I'm always up way before 9 01:14:42 * quaid hopes we can get in early even if it means official signing in and such isn't occuring 01:15:04 this year I can leave girls in the hands of Debbie, so I'll have incentive to get up and out early :) 01:15:27 we will see about how jet lagged i am but 9 should be ok 01:15:57 Registration starts at 8, so there's no reason why folks can't go straight up to Kennedy after that. 01:16:15 Let me check with Gareth at #scale 01:16:34 well, I put on an 8:30 start now 01:16:39 and see if that works in real time :) 01:16:54 * herlo notes he will not be in until Friday night and not to count on him... 01:17:01 herlo: we'll miss ya! 01:17:08 herlo: when do you land?

01:38:42 email gareth@; get flyers done; make up some press release about it for the Fedora Marketing world; make us all blog about it; make sure ... 01:38:46 We had that at OLF last year iirc 01:38:47 vwbusguy: good question 01:39:03 typically ... from my own experience only ... 01:39:21 it's a few people *from* $something, who are talking with anyone interested in $something 01:39:31 vwbusguy, we have a BOF at OLF if we have enough people 01:39:33 it can be a panel format, one person, or a round discussion in the audience seats 01:39:51 so it's going to always have one person who needs the open source definition made for them 01:39:55 a few journalists potentially 01:40:04 round discussion about Fedora seems to be a good topic 01:40:16 sometimes a person with a grief against Red Hat, Fedora, or some "part" of it 01:40:20 (usually yum or rpm) 01:40:37 ... and I'm skilled with that and willing to teach how it's done :) 01:40:51 quaid, havent had that experience yet 01:40:52 and general range of people with a technical or business interest in Fedora 01:40:59 VileGent: ;-) 01:41:12 haven't had to handle people pissed off at Fedora for something?

01:48:17 I blocked that one 01:48:18 lcafiero, I just got CC'd on one this week 01:48:24 the question was to me 01:48:33 can I put it on my Red Hat credit card 01:48:34 Right, the question was to quaid 01:48:59 * lcafiero confirms quaid's story 01:49:10 and the answer is, no, I cannot, I have to put it on a personal card, which really means paying cash for it ... 01:49:19 and I forget what the other option was? 01:49:26 somehow get reimbursed from max? 01:49:30 getting reimbursed from max 01:49:45 ick 01:49:45 * vwbusguy wishes Max were alive and with us today 01:49:53 well, we can do this part without him 01:49:56 he's all FOSDEMy 01:50:08 yep 01:50:08 so, if there is anyone a'swimming with cash and or credit 01:50:18 and wants to cover their own ROOM 01:50:24 and then wait for max/and or I to churn on it 01:50:27 since we have housing budgetted for SaLE it would be most nice if we could cover this without having to reimburse individuals 01:50:27 you are welcome to 01:50:31 *SCaLE 01:50:31 and should declare that now 01:50:43 yep, I agree with vwbusguy 01:50:53 I need to know what that fee is going to be 01:51:07 It's $115 per room per night, the SCALE rate 01:51:09 and of course, will beat on the bills with a hammer, as a I did last time 01:51:15 quaid, just curious as to why the RH card isn't an option?

02:10:49 not sure I ever wrote that blog post 02:10:51 In the room 02:10:52 VileGent: in the hotel room 02:10:54 there is a tray 02:10:55 with goodies on it 02:10:57 There's a tray that has stuff on it 02:10:57 and a fridge 02:10:59 full of goodies 02:11:00 oh ok 02:11:06 if you open the fridge or move anything off the tray 02:11:09 for more than a few seconds 02:11:15 it automatically charges your bill 02:11:18 I think one of the kids picked up something and they charged quaid, like, $30 02:11:23 i will take a pic of it when i enter the room 02:11:32 ideally, the room crew checks, restocks, and removes mistake charges 02:11:40 ideally 02:11:42 I picked up a can of nuts and raisins 02:11:46 to put behind a Fedora sign 02:11:48 in the window 02:11:52 to see if we could see it from the pool 02:12:13 the hotel seemed to have a lot of extra surprise charges 02:12:17 so i vow to read it all carefully now 02:12:39 and as i leave the room take another pic 02:12:56 ok 02:13:00 and that is all the topics 02:13:04 save for 02:13:09 # Recruiting 02:13:09 * How can we attract more contributors? 02:13:09 * Any presenters or other expo members who may be interested in talking to? 02:13:12 # Budget happy? 02:13:13 if possible i would like to get a early checkin if possible 02:13:19 me getting the banners in the mail :-) 02:13:30 lcafiero: how do we order those hotel rooms? 02:13:42 we will hassle jds2001 this week 02:13:45 quaid, u need the phone #? 02:14:05 well, there is this other thing ... 02:14:09 self-service is a good thing 02:14:15 https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/hotel-information 02:14:22 and the credit card that pays for it doesn't have to be the one that holds the room :) 02:14:28 Ask for the Linux Expo rate, which is the $115 02:14:52 * quaid just making sure he isn't taking on unneeded work 02:15:01 also, some folks prefer to book their own stuff 02:15:12 did anyone just check travelocity? 02:15:23 I didn't. 02:15:31 its higher 02:15:54 Besides, $115 is a pretty good rate for this hotel, imho 02:15:59 we get a special rate with SCaLE 02:16:06 it's less than Westin's website 02:16:26 better than travelocity 02:16:28 it's likely to be the lower 02:16:47 or at least it was when i started looking to come 02:17:07 Right, and SCaLE arranged for the special rate and I think the hotel is counting the number of people staying there for the expo 02:18:53 * inode0 just checked, you check the current travelocity rate :) 02:19:09 you get - it is $115 too 02:19:31 all I'd be looking for 02:19:38 and it's good to book with the expo 02:19:52 122 is the travelocity rate for westin LAX 02:20:06 not the one downtown 02:20:30 and booking for SCaLE helps for future SCaLE 02:20:44 ok, do we have anything more for the in-meeting part? 02:20:55 there are a few unanswered questions from the agenda (me!) 02:21:03 Like . . . 02:21:24 so we need to call and make our own reservation correct? 02:21:25 recruiting 02:21:30 budget happy? 02:21:37 I think the budget is OK. 02:21:37 who is making reservation? 02:22:05 let's take roll: VileGent -- make your own reservation? 02:22:08 herlo? 02:22:11 quaid? 02:22:20 VileGent: my thinking is ... if we can do it, let's have folks be able to book their own room with own preferences, etc. 02:22:33 i can 02:23:35 I think herlo's capable 02:23:56 * quaid adds some stuff to the collective link mind about last year's event 02:23:59 #link http://iquaid.org/2009/02/23/its-more-than-a-passing-fad-the-bad/ 02:24:08 #link http://iquaid.org/2009/02/21/its-more-than-a-passing-fad-the-good/ 02:24:27 but do i need to do it for 4 nights and not 3?

02:26:21 what time are you planning to get there thursday 02:26:45 good question 02:26:46 actually everyone besides me and herlo at this point 02:27:02 If we leave 8ish, quaid, maybe 4ish? 02:27:02 plan? 5 o 6 02:27:11 OK 02:27:17 pm 02:27:40 VileGent: they should only require a card at checkin for incidentals added after booking 02:27:51 I have a class in Pasadena Thursday evening 02:27:54 so if you are willing to surrender plastic for that, i can book it, you can get in the room early 02:27:55 ? 02:27:55 I can see about getting out of it 02:28:07 vwbusguy: or you can come down after it's done and stay the night? 02:28:15 yeah, I could 02:28:16 save the gas and be all in the circle all the time :) 02:28:28 it gets out ~8:20 but Pasadena isn't too far 02:28:34 * quaid has done the back-forth, mainly for kids/wife reasons, and now just brings the kids with him :) 02:28:56 VileGent: well, if I'm not there, I believe you can check in anyway 02:29:00 * quaid can check on this when booking 02:29:05 but they require a card on check in 02:29:13 in case you eat the nuts or drink a Fanta 02:29:46 I'm presuming 5ish is after you are arriving, and you said above you wanted an early checkin 02:29:52 well i can do that for my room when i get there 02:29:59 ok, then that covers that 02:30:15 i arrive a 11AM 02:30:15 #action quaid to book all 3 hotel rooms, check that people can check-in independently with their own card 02:30:22 oh! 02:30:27 I just realized, herlo isn't there until Friday 02:30:44 till your card gets there :) 02:30:51 so it's ((2 * 3) + 1) * $115 02:31:04 sorry 02:31:13 so it's ((2 * 3) + (2*2) + 1) * $115 02:31:19 sorry! 02:31:21 * quaid is dumb 02:31:22 anyway 02:31:30 I know what to do now 02:31:33 huh?
