01:16:43 other than 249 for balloons and 1800 for tshirts not really 01:17:35 Budget Review: 01:17:36 3 01:18:00 2 01:18:06 oh, I can pop a question I guess 01:18:19 anyone care how much we spend on lanyards? :) 01:18:39 maybe I should rephrase that a little 01:18:44 well what is the current priceing 01:19:20 target was in the $700-$800 range - commarch may kick in 50% or so to increase the order size 01:19:38 for what quanity 01:19:49 order size currently is 250 - may bump to 400 or so 01:19:50 are these for OLF or something? or for normal swag? 01:19:53 (wonders how to get a couple of lanyards) 01:19:58 let me explain 01:20:09 250 for 700-800 01:20:12 ?? 01:20:13 there was a long discussion of swag on f-a-b 01:20:29 one of the ideas, which we have discussed before, was lanyards 01:20:51 these aren't for throw away swag at any conference though 01:21:36 we would distribute a bunch at FUDCon, the rest later selectively to contributors who would wear these showing their support for Fedora at other events as well 01:21:38 * nb likes the idea of fedora lanyards, i could wear one at work every day :) 01:21:51 me too... 01:22:14 so the target audience of these is specifically Fedora contributors who attend multiple events 01:22:42 while you can wear a t-shirt one day, you can wear your lanyard every day 01:23:41 yeah 01:23:46 VileGent: yes, we are looking at nice lanyards - not $1 ones 01:24:08 yep ... I would love to have one or two of them ... any chance that I can put my name on a list for some one to send me a few (willing to pay for it if needed) 01:24:18 go to FUDCon :) 01:24:19 that is still expensive for lanyards 01:24:38 ke4qqq, ping 01:24:43 I wish I could inode0 ... it's a bit far for me 01:25:05 otherwise wait a bit and we'll sort out how the rest will be spread around - I don't have any definite plan 01:25:07 * mock plans to wear his t-shirt every day 01:25:37 inode0, go for it 01:26:03 I'll confirm with commarch and if they are willing to up it to 400 will do 01:26:08 EOF 01:26:13 inode0, +1 01:26:16 sounds like a plan inode0 .... really like the idea for lanyards 01:27:34 Ok, lets move to the last topic. 01:27:42 #topic Fedora Ambassadors North America Meeting - Unfinished Business/Open Floor 01:28:44 * nb wonders if rrix got buttons ordered? 01:28:46 Anyone here have a Fedora Button-up? 01:28:58 nope 01:29:04 nope... 01:29:15 Sorry for being late, power outages aren't my friends lol 01:29:17 I was debating on working on getting a black one available. 01:29:21 * inode0 wonders which question people are answering 01:29:37 StabbyMc, i'd like a blue or denim or something 01:29:43 StabbyMc, s 01:29:58 black and white tend to show a lot 01:30:33 nb: white, sure, but the logo pops. Black tends to not show as much, but the logo doesn't contrast as well. 01:30:53 true 01:30:58 nb: my opposition to blue or denim is that it doesn't look good with jeans. 01:31:04 StabbyMc, true 01:31:20 * nb wonders if the company would go for having all 3 available? 01:31:41 if they would, then we could offer people whatever color they prefer 01:31:46 nb: they don't really care. They order and embroider on demand. 01:32:00 We just have to approve the colors and initial proof for the embroidery. 01:32:24 * nb would be +1 to having a white, a black, and a blue or a denim (or both even?) 01:32:43 nb: I'll see what I can finegal. 01:32:53 StabbyMc, sounds good 01:33:16 But if you have the opportunity, these shirts are not ambassador specific, so contributors, fanbois, anyone can get one and represent if they want. 01:33:57 yeah 01:34:19 represent, yo 01:34:22 anyway, that's all I had for open floor. 01:36:17 Anyone else Open Foor? 01:37:52 3 01:38:12 2 01:38:27 1 01:38:36 #endmeeting
