An empty table will be wasted money 01:12:57 <inode0> have you been contacted about that yet? 01:13:02 <djf_jeff> inode0: no 01:13:31 <inode0> a table without an event box is not wasted 01:13:56 <djf_jeff> maybe, but all I have is ~25 burned dvd and my laptop 01:14:03 <inode0> you just opened a ticket for swag/media today didn't you? 01:14:38 <djf_jeff> yes, I opened it this morning 01:14:53 <djf_jeff> I currently try to find some local company for swag to get price estimate 01:15:06 <inode0> for this we just need to ship it there 01:15:33 <inode0> we are 2 weeks away at this point, right? 01:15:54 <djf_jeff> yes, two week from the Quebec events 01:16:01 <djf_jeff> a little bit more for OLF 01:17:12 <StabbyMc> djf_jeff: what swag are you wanting? 01:17:22 <spevack> I have some Live CDs and some buttons that I can ship if needed. 01:17:31 <djf_jeff> anything, media, stickers, tatoos, pens, etc 01:18:10 <StabbyMc> djf_jeff: those we have, what were you wanting to price out from local vendors in CA? 01:18:19 * inode0 suggests giving Brian a chance to respond - if he needs help from others to fill parts we can pitch in 01:18:33 * djf_jeff agree with inode0 01:18:54 <inode0> he might be low on media 01:18:59 <djf_jeff> StabbyMc: if I produce the swag locally for cheaper than shipping it here, it can help I think 01:19:16 <StabbyMc> Ah, OK, now I understand. 01:19:56 <inode0> right, that is a longer term solution but let's see what it costs to ship stuff up 01:20:20 <inode0> might not be bad 01:20:42 <crossbytes> I have F11 media that I can send if needed... for Ontario Linux Fest and some stickers.. 01:20:44 <StabbyMc> Ok, if I understand right, djf_jeff opened a Trac ticket for swag, inode0 is pricing to ship up. 01:20:51 <djf_jeff> inode0: I called UPS, but damn, it's like entering a maze... but, we can talk about this in #fedora-ambassadors 01:21:14 <StabbyMc> Other events news? 01:21:20 * inode0 is waiting for someone else to price to ship up 01:21:29 <PhrkOnLsh> I'm trying to get sponsored to represent Fedora at ABLEconf in Phoenix AZ 01:21:56 <inode0> sponsored to join ambassadors you mean, right? 01:21:58 <VileGent> what is the event in PA this coming weekend 01:22:06 <PhrkOnLsh> yes, herlo's mentoring me, inode0 01:22:33 <inode0> we sometimes sponsor people to attend events, different thing 01:22:56 <inode0> PhrkOnLsh: why don't you introduce yourself :) 01:23:03 <PhrkOnLsh> oh, uhm, okay :-) 01:23:14 <PhrkOnLsh> I'm Ryan Rix, Fedora KDE SIG 01:23:27 <PhrkOnLsh> ABLEconf presentations coordinator, and soon to be ambassador :-) 01:23:40 <StabbyMc> PhrkOnLsh: from Pheonix? 01:24:00 <PhrkOnLsh> I wanted to see Fedora represented at ABLEconf and Clint said that I should just join Ambassadors and do it myself, so here I am 01:24:04 <PhrkOnLsh> StabbyMc: indeedy 01:24:14 <VileGent> ! 01:24:22 * jds2001 here, sorry im late 01:24:36 <PhrkOnLsh> I'm going to be presenting at ABLEconf, a rehash of a presentation A.

(since jds2001 seems to know something) 01:30:46 <jds2001> we have a table, we'll need to provide extension cords 01:30:54 <jds2001> we're unable to hang anything on/from the walls 01:31:02 * spevack knows that we paid $100 in some sort of sponsorship. We can scrounge up more budget if needed 01:31:23 <jds2001> spevack: you got my train and hotel in there too, right? 01:31:53 <VileGent> StabbyMc, i was suppose to send brian the banner for cposc last week but family funeral got in the way 01:31:53 * inode0 notes we approved travel expenses for jds2001 last meeting 01:32:07 <inode0> to fill in for Brian on short notice 01:32:28 <StabbyMc> Where are the vertical 4F banners? 01:32:35 <VileGent> jds2001, email me your address info and i will send you the banner 01:32:43 <VileGent> utah 01:32:48 <jds2001> VileGent: will do right after the meeting 01:32:48 <spevack> jds2001: yep, just save your receipts 01:33:07 <jds2001> spevack: i prepaid everything, can i just give you confirmations? 01:33:21 <jds2001> or do you need something saying i actually did it? 01:33:31 * jds2001 not sure what to get for the train 01:33:45 <StabbyMc> Can we get herlo to ship them to jds2001 for CPOSC? Or do we not really care that much? 01:34:02 <jds2001> it would be great if i had them. 01:34:04 <inode0> I think he plans to if the timing works out 01:34:31 <StabbyMc> Cool. Looks like there's a week inbetween the two events. 01:34:46 <VileGent> the plan was to send to brian 01:35:07 <VileGent> so if the plans have changed we need to let herlo know 01:35:13 <StabbyMc> So someone needs to tell herlo about the change? 01:35:17 <StabbyMc> Gah, beat me to it. 01:35:19 <VileGent> yes 01:35:25 <inode0> jds2001 owns it :) 01:35:29 <jds2001> ok :) 01:35:40 <VileGent> vertical banners tracking # to herlo 1Z69E53W0361608118 01:36:04 <StabbyMc> More events stuff? 01:36:13 <VileGent> ups 01:36:30 <StabbyMc> Events going twice 01:36:49 <PhrkOnLsh> herlo's in #f-ambassadors atm 01:36:56 * inode0 suggests getting to the budget for the guy who knows about it nods off 01:36:57 <StabbyMc> Three times... 01:37:08 <StabbyMc> OK, budget it is. 01:37:11 <inode0> before 01:37:20 * StabbyMc yields the floor to spevack 01:37:25 * herlo is here 01:37:36 <StabbyMc> herlo: too late, no banners for you. 01:37:40 <PhrkOnLsh> hahaha 01:37:43 <jds2001> herlo: i just sent you email 01:37:47 <herlo> lol 01:37:49 <herlo> okay 01:37:52 <herlo> jds2001: kk 01:38:09 <spevack> well 01:38:20 <spevack> inode0 and ke4qqq and I chatted a bit before the meeting 01:38:28 <spevack> Just to do some ballpark thinking about NA budget 01:38:46 <spevack> Past experiences w/ Media shows us that we should set aside $5k for CDs/DVDs for Fedora 12. 01:39:00 <spevack> Suggested that we also set aside about $3k for other swag. 01:39:02 <herlo> yes 01:39:23 <spevack> That gets us supplied w/ media & swag basically through the end of february, which is the end of Red Hat's fiscal year. 01:39:28 <slipp3d> any thoughts about moving to usb drive installs instead of cd /dvds???? 01:39:32 <spevack> So that's $8k. We've spent $4k already this quarter on NA. 01:39:41 <PhrkOnLsh> spevack: those are more expensive, aren't they? 01:39:43 <VileGent> slipp3d, too expensive 01:39:45 <spevack> We're tentatively setting aside another $2k for "stuff we don't know about yet" 01:39:58 <spevack> 01:40:01 <spevack> aside from that 01:40:15 <PhrkOnLsh> er, sorry for the ping, max :-) 01:40:21 <spevack> any surplus budget in my team's Community Architecture budget is going to be funneled towards FUDCon Toronto 01:40:29 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: we've talked about going to live ISO only and stopping DVD, but haven't come to any decision. 01:40:31 <spevack> with the idea of getting more community members to the event with travel subsidies. 01:40:50 <spevack> That discussion will happen on fudcon-planning list, because pfrields needs to be part of it also. 01:41:01 <spevack> PhrkOnLsh: USBs are still too expensive, regrettably. 01:41:05 <spevack> So that's the high level budget update. 01:41:20 <PhrkOnLsh> spevack: yup, that should've gone to slipp3d ;-) tab-complete fail 01:41:20 <spevack> I guess I'll yield for questions, and comments. Basically "is there anything NA needs that it's not getting?" 01:41:33 <spevack> PhrkOnLsh: no worries 01:41:41 <spevack> EOF 01:41:48 <jds2001> spevack: a million dollars for each ambassador? :D 01:41:58 * herlo seconds jds2001's motion 01:42:01 <StabbyMc> spevack: any inkling about what Big Daddy RH is going to do about the budget in FY11? 01:42:25 * slipp3d thirds jds2001 01:42:29 <slipp3d> :D 01:42:37 * djf_jeff is away for 10 minutes 01:43:01 <spevack> StabbyMc: my current speculation would be "no significant changes" and if we have some interesting proposals for a new thing that we want to try in NA that could generate interesting value, then we lobby for some extra budget for that too. 01:43:20 <spevack> StabbyMc: budget planning doesn't really start until after we all get back from Xmas 01:43:48 <spevack> er, Winter Holidays. Political Correctness FAIL 01:44:02 <StabbyMc> spevack: I didn't get into it until February, thought it might have just been my dept. ;-) 01:44:49 <slipp3d> is there anything in place for getting shirts for people... a few of the people in my area that moved to Fedora would love to order some of the shirts but I don't know where to send them... 01:45:10 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: We've got some Tees. 01:45:33 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: I'm working on finding a source for something like an embroidered button up. 01:46:27 <slipp3d> StabbyMc, when you get a line on those could you email/ping me or something ... a few of the people around here are really wanting them since they moved to fedora 01:46:45 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: I'll do that. 01:47:03 <StabbyMc> I know there's significant interest in it, I'll work more on it next week when I'm on the bench. 01:47:17 <slipp3d> thanks StabbyMc 01:47:27 <inode0> brand fuel has them for sale I believe 01:47:39 <slipp3d> if there is anything that I can do to help out let me know... 01:47:40 <spevack> speaking of Brand Fuel 01:47:54 <StabbyMc> I posted another swag item to #fedora-ambassadors, and think it got shot down, but just wanted to be sure. Crocs jibbitz or charms; that was a no right? 01:47:58 <spevack> it's on my TODO list, at the request of the Fedora Board, to "wind down" Fedora's association w/ Brand Fuel. 01:48:16 <spevack> In short -- buy up whatever swag they still have, and then close down the Fedora portion of the Brand Fuel store 01:48:37 <spevack> not at the top of my TODO list, but on my TODO list. 01:49:05 <PhrkOnLsh> spevack: why is that? 01:49:05 <jds2001> what's the reasoning, just so I know? 01:49:13 <jds2001> We don't have anything to replace it with atm. 01:49:29 <StabbyMc> I'm guessing because BrandFuel is crazy expensive... 01:49:39 <jds2001> that they are.... 01:49:43 <inode0> they aren't that bad for hats and shirts 01:49:44 <slipp3d> what is the link for the brandfuel site? 01:49:58 <crossbytes> http://www.brandfuel.com/ 01:49:59 <spevack> StabbyMc: yes, that's the reason 01:50:09 <inode0> and I'll be sad to see the hats disappear without ever getting one :) 01:50:10 <jds2001> http://redhat.brandfuelstores.com/ 01:50:30 <spevack> inode0: only the fedora stuff... if you need a fedora ballcap, i'll make sure you get one :) 01:50:32 <inode0> because I can't see us producing those any time soon 01:50:32 <StabbyMc> spevack: are we looking to make money from selling fedora merchandise? 01:50:54 <PhrkOnLsh> inode0: grab one up :-) 01:51:25 <PhrkOnLsh> what, only ball caps, no fedora? 01:51:26 * PhrkOnLsh ducks 01:51:36 <spevack> StabbyMc: depends who you ask. ;) Problem #1 (which is a whole separate conversation) is that there isn't really a great way to manage small amounts of money. 01:51:39 <jds2001> the RHCE pint glasses are gone! 01:51:44 <inode0> you can get a fedora too, from the redhat part of the store 01:52:11 <StabbyMc> spevack: you're referring to the suck that is RH Finance? 01:52:23 <spevack> spevack: in a more polite way, yes :) 01:52:54 <inode0> I really don't want to mess with tax and stuff associated with selling on our end 01:53:38 <inode0> prefer a tip jar :) 01:53:38 <spevack> yeah... my gut feeling right now is that the amount of work to do this isn't worth the small amount of money that it would be, and that swag-as-marketing-and-general-morale-boosters is the right way to go. 01:53:43 <StabbyMc> inode0: I don't want to deal with the shipping and stuff associated with selling on our end... 01:54:09 <spevack> there's more useful things that we can all do w/ our time, IMHO 01:54:14 <inode0> we deal with that somewhat as producers though 01:54:38 * slipp3d second spevack thought 01:54:39 <StabbyMc> spevack: so what I'm taking from this is keep doing what we're doing, but if we happen to run into someone that is an e-tailer who can do all the supply chain stuff for cheap, but kick some good money our way, take note. 01:54:48 <dramsey> +1 for time and swag-as-marketing-and-general-morale-boosters. :) 01:55:23 <spevack> StabbyMc: i'd say that's fair 01:55:24 <inode0> it would be nice to have a store so things were more available to people in the fedora community 01:55:32 <inode0> I don't think it is about money 01:55:41 <slipp3d> +1 inode0 ... 01:55:49 <spevack> inode0: the thing that we made a TODO out of FAD EMEA was a hybrid: 01:55:52 <inode0> but it is about quality 01:56:05 <spevack> (1) a ticket tracker for swag to get from point A to point B 01:56:15 <spevack> (2) a wiki page that is basically "EMEA Swag Inventory" so that people can know what is where 01:56:24 <spevack> and request stuff appropriately 01:56:32 <spevack> (3) a direct-bill shipping account like we already have in NA 01:56:42 <spevack> so it's not a "store" but it's a useful resource 01:56:47 <StabbyMc> Do we have an inventory page? 01:56:54 <inode0> no 01:57:15 <inode0> I'm not overly enthusiastic about counting buttons either :) 01:57:21 <StabbyMc> lulz 01:57:34 <spevack> inode0: I'm thinking we could estimate 01:57:35 <inode0> but I'll play along 01:57:44 <spevack> "inode0 has a lot of buttons" 01:57:45 <VileGent> or tats 01:57:47 <spevack> then two weeks later 01:57:56 <spevack> "inode0 has a few buttons, probably enough for 2 events" 01:57:59 <spevack> stuff like that 01:58:04 <spevack> no one wants to count buttons or tattoos 01:58:05 <StabbyMc> Time to move on to Task List Review? 01:58:15 * StabbyMc notes that it's getting late. 01:58:18 <inode0> our FAIL 01:58:20 * spevack shuts up :) 01:58:29 <VileGent> spevack, nope dont shut up 01:58:51 <jds2001> 10pm is late? 01:59:03 <jds2001> lets go til 2AM :D 01:59:07 <StabbyMc> Maybe we can discuss some more in #f-a after the meeting? 01:59:14 <slipp3d> I like the idea of having a inventory page even if it's just a rough estimates 01:59:14 <StabbyMc> jds2001: no more Red Bull for you. 01:59:18 <inode0> from past history I'd say we are finished with the task list now 01:59:37 <StabbyMc> Ok, so then Open Floor? 01:59:40 <spevack> +1 to rough estimates, -1 to counting grains of sand 01:59:40 <inode0> someone really needs to drive that or we should abandon it 01:59:53 <inode0> the task list could be very useful, if we would use it 02:00:11 <inode0> if for nothing else than documenting what we accomplish 02:00:35 <slipp3d> and what is needed to accomplish... 02:00:51 <inode0> if we put tasks on the task list I could answer that 02:00:55 <StabbyMc> Maybe instead of a Task List it should be an Accomplishments List? 02:01:27 <VileGent> well it owuld be nice to have venders of swag we have bought from like the case badges as an example 02:01:41 <inode0> oh spevack :) 02:01:53 <spevack> VileGent: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Swag_vendors 02:02:04 <spevack> needs a bit of updating, which I will do, since there are vendors listed on another page as well 02:02:10 <spevack> inode0: is that what you were going to say? 02:02:20 <inode0> we'll expand that link 02:02:34 <inode0> no, I just knew you had a link handy 02:03:07 <dramsey> Yes to updating the link. I have a vendor in North Carolina which does great work and very reasonable pricing. 02:03:18 <StabbyMc> So then, new business? 02:03:20 <inode0> vendor of what? 02:03:26 <dramsey> Oh, shirts and hats. 02:03:31 * StabbyMc notes that 10:00p is not late, but an hour long meeting is long. 02:03:36 <inode0> hats, we have our hat man! 02:03:40 <VileGent> case badges are something that people seems to love as swag and we have had a request for window clings 02:03:42 <dramsey> The textile factory.... 02:03:48 <dramsey> Okay. 02:04:01 <inode0> just a point 02:04:09 <StabbyMc> I'll update the vendor page to also include the vendor for the Fedora Pens that we used. 02:04:18 <inode0> this list should be vendors fedora has done business with and is happy with 02:04:51 <inode0> but we should talk about what they can do and perhaps try them 02:05:08 <PhrkOnLsh> Offhand: Everyone is invited to ABLEconf, no fees to attend. PROTIP: If you stay until sunday you can blast Aaron Seigo to pieces in Nexuiz. 02:05:36 <PhrkOnLsh> I gotta hit it, my class is over. May be online later, probably not. 02:05:37 <inode0> dramsey: are you back in the states now? 02:05:41 <jds2001> when/where is that? 02:05:49 <PhrkOnLsh> Phoenix AZ, Oct24 02:05:50 <dramsey> Nope...near Tokyo right now. 02:06:08 <slipp3d> PhrkOnLsh, if I was closer i would be there.... 02:06:12 <StabbyMc> Ok, so what other new business we got?
