17:01:40 <rbergeron> #topic Who's here
17:02:13 <chuckf_> I'm here
17:02:15 <rbergeron> Southern_Gentlem: ping
17:02:59 <rbergeron> chuckf_: hi!
17:03:29 <chuckf_> hi rbergeron
17:04:22 * rbergeron is waiting for Southern_Gentlem to get started ;)
17:04:42 * chuckf_ is just here to observe
17:05:53 <rbergeron> welcome :) hopefully it will be a little more exciting than this :)
17:05:55 <rbergeron> are you coming to fudcon?
17:06:03 * gholms lurks
17:06:10 <chuckf_> Unless the weather prevents me, I'll be there
17:06:35 <chuckf_> hopefully I'll be there sometime Friday morning
17:06:47 <chuckf_> but that depends on work stuff
17:07:23 <rbergeron> awesome :)
17:07:24 <rbergeron> hi gholms
17:07:27 <rbergeron> ianweller: are you about?
17:10:24 <chuckf_> how far behind the eightball will I be attending this considering I've never participated in the Fedora community before?
17:11:24 <rbergeron> chuckf_: we're pretty welcoming :) if you are interested in attending, you're already much of the way there :)
17:12:11 <rbergeron> there is usually plenty of different stuff for different intersts - from beginner to advanced user, and also stuff for people to get involved in if they are new to the community, projects and that sort of thing.
17:12:20 <rbergeron> so it's really up to you - whatever is grabbing your interest, dive in.
17:12:27 <chuckf_> cool. Wasn't sure if setting up more than a FAS account would be useful before showing up on the day
17:12:41 <gholms> FWIW, I randomly decided to go to the last one and returned home feeling like I had learned stuff.
17:12:53 <gholms> (the last US one, anyway)
17:13:20 <chuckf_> yeah, it looks like there will be a lot of interesting topics
17:13:26 <rbergeron> i think that's a good start. another thought is maybe looking at some of the tracks that people rae proposing, or even looking at some of the different groups in fedora to get involved in (if that type of thing interests you), and maybe talking to some of those people or groups online to introduce yourself before you come, but that's certainly not required :)
17:13:36 <chuckf_> and with it being just about a 5 hour drive, close enough to go
17:14:02 <rbergeron> where are you driving from?
17:14:20 <chuckf_> rbergeron: I was gonna do some of that next week when I'm off work
17:14:28 <chuckf_> I'll be coming from the DC area
17:16:20 <rbergeron> chuckf_: cool :)
17:18:54 <rbergeron> okay, so, apparently ben is travelling today
17:19:06 <rbergeron> so I guess I am going to cancel the meeting and see if i can rearrange it to do tomorrow
17:19:15 <gholms> :\
17:20:19 <chuckf_> okay.
17:20:54 <chuckf_> is there a public agenda for the meeting somewhere?
17:21:52 <rbergeron> chuckf_: we generally go through the tickets in the meeting list, here: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/report/9
17:22:31 <rbergeron> though that list probably needs to be updated
17:22:41 <rbergeron> #action rbergeron to sort through additional tickets for meeting agenda
17:22:50 <rbergeron> #action rbergeron to follow up with Southern_Gentlem on a meetingt time for this week
17:23:29 <rbergeron> chuckf_: we also hang out in #fudcon-planning for when it's not meeting time
17:23:37 <chuckf_> cool
17:23:49 <rbergeron> in case you're interested :)
17:24:10 <chuckf_> I'll look in over there when I can, and idle there otherwise
17:27:33 <rbergeron> cool :) good to meet you!
