In my experience, they allow many people on-stage at the same time 02:13:55 I don't know if there's a video already, but something like that might be good. 02:14:19 A pitch written from scratch would work well 02:14:26 Videos don't usually attract a lot of attention 02:14:48 how many people are usually at this event? 02:14:51 at the last HackRU, there were 800 people. 02:14:57 there should be ~1000 this time 02:15:13 * ParadoxGuitarist Just brain storming here, don't take me too seriously. 02:15:23 cool 02:15:24 ParadoxGuitarist, yeah, no worries 02:15:28 =) 02:15:57 I noticed there's no travel costs, do you need those? 02:16:00 apart from the swag and event box, we'll also need some more Fedora contributors to attend 02:16:16 ParadoxGuitarist, I might need some help with travel, but just a train ticket 02:16:29 It's in New Brunswick NJ, near Newark NJ 02:16:30 Hotel stay? 02:16:35 ParadoxGuitarist, no hotel needed 02:16:36 looks like there approx 548 people on facebook that said they are going 02:16:38 kk 02:16:39 You can sleep on-site 02:17:10 Cydrobolt: I'm not sure who's available to go. I really wish we had a map or something with all the contributors. 02:17:25 ParadoxGuitarist, wrnash any of you available? 02:17:31 It's on a weekend 02:17:34 Is that a make/brake deal for you? 02:17:41 ParadoxGuitarist, ? 02:17:45 I live in Texas. It;s to far for me to attend 02:17:45 I'm in Southern California so it's not ideal 02:17:55 Ah, I see 02:18:01 You guys are pretty far away 02:18:09 If no one else can show up are you still ok doing it on your own? 02:18:19 ParadoxGuitarist, probably 02:18:32 I think Andrew Ward might be able to attend (Georgia) 02:18:43 Southern_Gentlem I think is on the east coast. 02:18:57 ParadoxGuitarist, what's Southern_Gentlem's FAS? 02:19:17 .fas Southern_Gentlem 02:19:18 ParadoxGuitarist: jbwillia 'Ben Williams' 02:19:26 .fasinfo jbwillila 02:19:27 Cydrobolt: User "jbwillila" doesn't exist 02:19:34 .fasinfo jbwillia 02:19:36 Cydrobolt: User: jbwillia, Name: Ben Williams, email: vaioof@yahoo.com, Creation: 2006-04-17, IRC Nick: Southern_Gentlem, Timezone: US/Eastern, Locale: en, GPG key ID: 295A4FBC, Status: active 02:19:39 Cydrobolt: Approved Groups: cla_fedora cla_done hosted-content gitcourses irc-support-operators freemedia proventesters cla_fpca +ambassadors 02:19:56 He doesn't list his liocation, but he's on the east coast, so perhaps he can come 02:20:00 location** 02:20:06 He's super active in the main channel. 02:20:23 Very helpful. 02:20:27 :) 02:20:47 I'd shoot him an email and see if he's interested. 02:20:52 Haven't talked to him recently, but we'll have to get in touch with him 02:21:03 Yeah, I'll shoot him an email and ask him if he's interested 02:21:29 Here is the wiki page 02:21:30 :) 02:21:31 oops 02:21:35 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HackRU_Spring_2015 02:22:23 I think you should add a section for travel costs and a place for others to sign up to go. 02:22:31 We still need to approve the 1.5k sponsorship 02:22:35 ParadoxGuitarist, added a spot 02:22:52 There's Fedora Representatives and Travel Subsidy Requests 02:24:45 So here's where I feel weird about, I'm actually in favor of spending the money for this, but I feel awkward doing it with only the three of us. 02:24:59 How many votes are usually needed? 02:24:59 +1 02:25:02 +1 02:25:21 Cydrobolt: It's just consensus. 02:25:22 can we table this for the next meeting 02:25:39 Yeah, we can push this to next meeting 02:25:43 Are you ok taking a vote and letting it stand as long as no dissention is raised in the ticket? 02:25:51 ParadoxGuitarist, I think that should be ok 02:25:52 Because I also like getting things done. 02:26:16 Yeah, pushing it forward may stretch it too long 02:26:33 When do you need to have the information by 02:26:33 Gives those that aren't here a chance to speak up if they feel like it's a bad idea. 02:26:45 But I don't think it'll come to that. 02:27:33 wrnash, the hackathon organisers will need some time to finalize sponsor lists and such, but there isn't an explicit cutoff date 02:27:59 ok thanks 02:29:33 Ok, I motion to vote to approve the funds of 1500 for the HackRU Hackathon barring any dissension in the discussion on the trac ticket. 02:29:46 +1 02:29:56 +1 02:31:15 #agreed Approval for the funds of $1500 for the HackRU Hackathon barring any dissension in the discussion on the trac ticket (#102). 02:33:03 Moving on... SCaLE doesn't really need to be talked about, unless one of you think it does... Thoughts? 02:34:26 no need to talk about it 02:35:03 Ok... jsandys has the last ticket so we can skip that one too. 02:35:58 #topic FAmNA Meeting - Open Floor 02:36:35 Sounds good 02:40:23 wrnash: do you have anything else? 02:40:31 I do not have anything 02:40:45 #endmeeting
