01:08:18 * rbergeron notes she's trying to see about getting a booth/table/whatever for oscon next month. 01:08:35 ? 01:08:47 contrary to what you may see on the wiki, nobody is really owning it yet, so 8'm looking to see if it even can be. 01:09:09 * rbergeron looks at vilegent 01:09:16 you'll likely need to do some sweet talking 01:09:18 last meeting i thought someone said they were on it 01:09:30 and that we had a table 01:09:55 vilegent: it's not listed in events. someone said we might, because sdziallas copied theevent page exactly from last year. 01:10:15 but he did that to note that he's doing other stuff, but no, there is no table. 01:10:24 though people are all signed up for it. 01:11:13 i'm just waiting to see if its even possible at this point. 01:12:13 eof. 01:12:31 Anyone else? 01:13:35 Several reports of SELF are listed on the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELF_2011 01:15:10 Aaaanyone else? 01:15:44 3 01:15:49 2 01:15:55 1 01:15:57 #topic Budget 01:16:33 Anybody got anything for the budget? 01:17:37 Is that a no, people? 01:17:40 3 01:17:45 2 01:17:50 1 01:18:01 #topic Unfinished Business/Open Floor 01:18:33 ! 01:18:49 ! ? 01:19:00 * SGS calls on Bryant. 01:19:34 sorry - mistyped :) while i'm here... i'm from los angeles. glad to be here. 01:20:41 We're glad you're here too, christianabryant :) 01:20:49 :) 01:21:19 Media was delivered to me today 01:21:51 I think we need to discuss ordering swag 01:22:05 * SGS seconds this idea. 01:22:44 let's 01:22:52 lettuce 01:23:22 On my taco 01:23:32 #topic Swag Discussion 01:23:44 sorry for being late 01:23:46 can/should we touch base with the boss about our current way over our fair share budget? 01:23:55 i know i have zero t shirts 01:24:51 inode0: we have taken more than our fair share of the budget? 01:24:51 SELF was budgeted for 1500 and i think it was about thousand 01:25:00 way more 01:25:07 this year? 01:25:09 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Architecture_expenses 01:25:40 sxsw, if youre looking by region 01:25:45 Right. 01:25:45 media should be arrived or arriving to everyone 01:25:55 well, that is about our annual share in half a year 01:25:56 inode0: in terms of what things cost, EMEA should be closer to us, but I don't know if we're 'taking away' from other regions. 01:26:23 which is probably why you are asking about discussing it with 'the boss', no? 01:26:49 I don't think we should spend half the total budget without discussing it with spevack is all 01:27:09 I'm not arguing, just asking. 01:27:29 so it sounds like we're agreed that we should at least approach sparks and ask 01:27:30 but we can go ahead and get a list of what we need to get in terms of swag - just would like that conversation before buying it 01:27:42 sounds fair to me 01:28:05 inode0: note though, aren't we in Q3 or something? 01:28:13 right i thought sxsw was last years money 01:28:39 well, RH does weird fiscal years 01:29:01 starts in March goes to Feb 01:29:21 * nb wonders what we spent so much on, sxsw i guess? 01:29:35 SCALE is also last year's budget 01:29:39 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events#FY12_Q1_.28March_2011_-_May_2011.29 01:29:40 or should be mostly 01:30:06 though it might have been in Q1's budget filings 01:30:14 no. 01:30:20 it all got filed in q1 of this year. 01:30:27 for expense reports 01:30:45 oh, that's a bunch that could have been in Q4 01:31:01 scale?? 01:31:09 just in general 01:31:16 not all of it 01:31:38 * rbergeron nods 01:31:55 Anything that needed to get filed for Q4 of last year had to be in by like... feb 24 or 25. 01:32:00 Otherwise it went into Q1 of this year. 01:32:18 yeah 01:32:23 Thus, anything from scale when people were coming home on the 27th, 28th, got filed this year. 01:32:41 And the bulk of sxsw stuff also got filed this year, not last year. 01:33:00 that sounds like a good portion of the budget that has been used up 01:33:21 add in the media and that is literally $15k 01:33:31 * nb wonders if f16 media will be on this year 01:33:32 i guess] 01:33:34 nb how much did media production turn out to be 01:33:41 VileGent, 7k 01:33:43 VileGent: it's on the page 01:33:46 * nb hopes he didn't order too much 01:33:51 except about another 2k sxsw, which got paid for last year. 01:34:00 all we have to go on is the budget page unless spevack clarifies it 01:34:01 i knew the po was for that wasnt sure of the final # 01:34:18 hello? 01:34:23 VileGent, it came in right under that, 6990 or so 01:34:33 VileGent, i had to refigure my figures once i decided to go with the DVD-9 01:34:43 * christianabryant appreciates the work put into scale; worth the budget, from a newbie perspective 01:35:11 just a sec, i'll get real totals 01:35:51 let's not guess about this and proceed to figuring out what we need for the rest of the year in terms of swag 01:36:01 yeah. 01:36:03 inode0: agreed 01:36:11 * herlo blames rbergeron :) 01:36:14 unless the media was free i don't think it's going to make a huge difference. 01:36:17 ;) 01:36:21 * rbergeron had nothing to do with it 01:36:22 ;) 01:36:27 likely story 01:36:31 * herlo votes for more Tshirts too 01:36:41 * inode0 agrees 01:36:48 rrix and rbergeron are going to need some, plus vwbusguy 01:36:51 300 t-shirts 01:36:57 since they are filling ambkits now 01:37:22 we can rough that to be $2k 01:37:46 * j_dulaney could do with a shirt 01:38:07 is it acceptable to ask a question? 01:38:11 Multi-Desktop Live - 3705 x 1.28 = 4,742.40 01:38:11 32 bit Install - 1075 x 1.05 = 1,128.75 01:38:11 64 bit Install - 1075 x 1.05 = 1,128.75 01:38:11 Total - 6,999.90 01:38:12 sure 01:38:20 cprofitt: depends on the question 01:38:23 nb: w00t! we have $.10 left over 01:38:24 ask any questions at any time 01:38:25 herlo, did lcafiero have any to send them? 01:38:28 herlo, lol yeah :) 01:38:32 nb: unknown 01:38:35 it is in regards to when budgeting it determined for conferences 01:38:52 as far in advance as possible 01:38:59 I have one in November and would like to consider getting a Fedora booth... its an educational conference 01:39:11 but was unsure when details would need to be turned in 01:39:13 nb: I have a few shirts left, though not enough to send. I do have a bunch of pens and balloons I can send to them 01:39:17 add it to the wiki and the events page 01:39:23 inode0: done already 01:39:34 when you have a rough budget idea we can have it on an agenda to discuss 01:39:40 ok 01:39:40 cprofitt: add to the events list, make a wiki page ask for budget at a famna meeting :) 01:39:41 thanks 01:39:55 just add it to the agenda of a meeting when you are ready 01:40:01 * cprofitt nods 01:40:21 other than t-shirts, what else? 01:40:30 tattoos? 01:40:34 usb keys? 01:40:42 oh, crap 01:40:43 how about usb keys? 01:40:43 * christianabryant likes the tattoo idea 01:40:46 I didn't mean that last one 01:40:50 I think we have tattoos we can send around 01:40:55 * herlo has none 01:40:56 I still have some 01:41:06 nb should have a bunch 01:41:06 not that I want any 01:41:11 * nb has tattoos 01:41:20 send them to rrix and rbergeron and vwbusguy 01:41:27 fedora voice stickers 01:41:38 or fedora four f's stickers would be good 01:41:39 we can't buy usb keys I don't think but we have some leftover from FUDCon for special purposes 01:41:52 from the Summit I mean 01:41:53 we do? nice 01:42:04 * inode0 doesn't know what is left 01:42:09 i believe jsmith has the bulk of them. 01:42:10 it was hundreds though 01:42:27 yes, but many were given out at fudcon latam, fwiu 01:42:35 would be nice to know what's left 01:42:41 might be good to distribute them to regional shippers like we did the lanyards 01:42:43 if we have enough, that is 01:43:08 i have maybe 100 tattoos 01:43:32 yeah, tattoos need to be distributed 01:43:40 stickers made 01:43:47 * nb will see how many i have, i have quite a few 01:43:55 not sure how many, once i split them up into 4 parts 01:44:02 but enoguh for a while at least 01:44:02 i have a pack of fedora voice stickers 01:44:22 I'm guessing voice stickers are getting low 01:44:24 VileGent: yeah, but I think a pack for each shipper maybe 01:44:44 i will say i do not think we need to order anymore tattoos 01:44:45 anyone know what those cost roughly? 01:44:55 no, we are good on tattoos 01:45:03 nope, don't know the price on stickers 01:45:15 VileGent, i can send at least a few packs of tattoos to each shipper (judging from what i remember having last time i looked 01:45:24 so yeah, we can do without ordering them for a while at lest 01:45:30 from my memory they were about .50 each 01:45:58 time to ping StabbyMC 01:46:08 * nb wonders what people think about ordering another shipment of splatter tees 01:46:10 also more keyboard stickers would be nice 01:46:21 nb too expensive 01:46:26 oh ok 01:46:39 we just bought those this year so there must be some somewhere 01:46:58 oh wait, you mean the little ones?
