01:09:33 well, how much did they pay for the table 01:09:44 and did we clear that with them 01:09:59 I think that is why they are wanting to share with our table, I think they forgot to fund their table. 01:10:25 from my experience with RH they really never have anything set up except for spot 01:10:59 There are going to be a small army of RH people giving talks and working the booth. 01:11:01 ok, that is easy, I just emailed you the contact for the sponsor 01:11:25 sara haliburton is waiting for some word 01:11:25 mostly their architect type guys, Thomas Cameron, etc... 01:11:39 ok 01:11:40 thanks 01:11:50 let me know that you received it 01:12:01 I sent it to your project email address 01:12:20 got it award3535 01:12:55 I guess we can get the form to ruth and get it taken care of 01:13:11 I dont know what they are willing to spend 01:13:22 award3535: the past few years we sponsor the event at the silver level 01:13:30 award3535: I think we should do that 01:13:44 that would work, is silver 5k 01:13:56 if so we could share that expense 01:14:02 5k? 01:15:28 that means we should set the level for Fedora at 4K , 2.5K to the booth and 1.5K for our costs 01:15:45 I am not sure, I thought it was much less 01:16:50 checking now 01:17:31 was $2k last year 01:17:55 we also did the tote bag insert $500 01:18:10 the form says 3.5k for silver 01:18:16 we gave out all the dvd media that way 01:18:31 award3535: the cost of last year was only 2k 01:19:16 5k is too expensive for a sponsorship 01:19:22 I just emailed your the sponsor form and it says 3,5K for silver 01:19:22 agree 01:19:41 then whats the next level down 01:20:04 i am ok with a 1K sponsorship 01:21:02 silver is the lowest listed on the form, 3.5K, gold is 5K, Plat 8.5K 01:21:56 lets go for community exhibitor, and we will "donate" $1000 01:21:59 Is this TLF? 01:22:07 yes Cydrobolt 01:22:13 cool 01:22:54 that would be acceptable 01:23:01 actually, we might have to do silver 01:23:28 I need to talk to Redhat, because if they share with us, we cannot go community 01:24:00 masta, might be a noobish question, but how many people are expected to attend TXLF? 01:24:01 we can push this one more week and give you some time to get ahold of them 01:24:30 couldn't find it on wiki or website 01:24:54 Cydrobolt https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TexasLinuxFest_%28TXLF%29_2015 01:25:11 so far there will be 5 of us there 01:25:25 award3535, ah, I meant attendees 01:25:27 not ambassadors 01:25:55 the first year I attended in San Antonio was about 900 01:26:11 dont know about the last couple of years I was unable to attend 01:26:36 * ParadoxGuitarist wanders in 01:26:54 #chair ParadoxGuitarist 01:26:54 Current chairs: Cydrobolt ParadoxGuitarist award3535 kk4ewt masta 01:26:58 I see 01:27:06 Sorry I'm late all, I'm at a conferance in Orlando. 01:27:09 Cydrobolt: probably between 1500 to 2000 01:27:17 gotcha 01:27:38 ParadoxGuitarist your in my neck of the woods 01:27:46 =) 01:27:58 time change give you trouble 01:28:08 I'm here til Sunday 01:28:11 award3535: we can, but need to go forward with requesting media and stuff 01:28:18 Naw, our final session just let out late 01:28:32 award3535: I just tried calling the RH guy, and left a voice mail. 01:28:45 award3535, I have an update in regards to hackathons after we're done with TXLF 01:28:51 in an email they sent to me they want to share a larger booth, and get a keg of beer 01:29:19 award3535: so I suspect they will be funding part of this even, so for now we can vote on the travel only, ok? 01:29:22 masta, I will put in tickets for media, what about the event box, do we need the banners 01:29:36 award3535: yes, and yes.... 01:29:51 award3535: can you bring the box in your vehicle? 01:29:59 award3535: or want me to bring it? 01:30:04 masta send me an email for where to send them 01:30:16 masta was the central box 01:30:17 I will bring tshirs 01:30:26 award3535: ok 01:30:35 kk4ewt: Nick has it now 01:30:46 +1 on beer 01:30:57 +1 also for beer 01:31:08 no bud or coors though 01:31:10 I've got mixed feelings on the keg 01:31:12 well tell me where to send 01:31:14 jward78 also says +1 for beer 01:31:27 kk4ewt: ok 01:31:29 shes sitting next to me 01:32:22 kk4ewt: priv msg 01:32:49 ok folks, right now we have $1280 for travel and lodging for TXLF 01:32:51 but in a ticket 01:33:00 kk4ewt: will do 01:33:18 so at this point i motion we have a 4K budget for TLF 01:33:39 I suggest we go with $1500 for travel, and then not spend that much. 01:33:47 kk4ewt: yes 01:33:54 I agree to the 4K 01:34:06 yes 1.5 for travel 01:34:16 are we ready to vote on the travel portion? 01:34:16 +1 for $1500 01:34:46 We might not have 4k after I get RH to pay 01:34:59 so for now I want to agree on travel. 01:35:06 +1 01:35:06 i am hoping we dont spend the 4K but that is a good budget guess at this point in time 01:35:07 we can address that next week 01:35:26 two more for the travel portion 01:35:31 Plus I'm pretty sure we're under from other events 01:35:33 I can say that the travel and lodgeing for me will probably be zero cost, but I've put in a request just in case 01:35:57 +1 4k total budget 01:36:08 +1 $1500 travel/lodging 01:36:28 one more vote for travel 01:36:30 but obviously I'm biased, so kk4ewt ? 01:36:47 Mine was for both 01:36:55 Cydrobolt? 01:37:02 Yes 01:37:05 +! 01:37:07 +1** 01:37:11 that sounds good 01:37:15 +1 01:37:39 #agreed agreed to $1500. for the travel budget for TXLF 01:38:08 we can revisit the rest if needed once we have the information from RH 01:38:12 #topic == Open Floor === 01:38:42 I have something for OF 01:38:59 OF? 01:39:02 Open floor 01:39:13 go ahead 01:39:34 I followed up on PennApps over the week, it looks like the lowest they can give us the "mega" tier is 4k 01:39:43 which still seems a bit high 01:40:04 but it's an overnight event with 2k people, so lodging isn't really required 01:40:11 did you check if there was a community/non profit 01:40:27 award3535, yeah, I did, the normal price for the mega tier is 7k 01:40:41 they seem to be packed this year, so it doesn't seem like they can go down on tiers with sponsor tables 01:41:24 Yeah, I'm not thrilled about this event. 01:41:30 there is the kilo tier which is cheaper but without a sponsor table, but the sponsor table is quite important for these types of events so it is probably better to pass if there is not a sponsor table 01:42:02 since we want a sponsorship table, we'll probably have to pass it seems like 01:42:12 also contacted another event (HackTheNorth) but they are already full this year 01:42:47 I'll keep looking and I'll report back...we might have to push this to an event later in the year, though, if nothing suitable comes up soon 01:43:05 no rush, I'll keep you all updated 01:44:41 Sounds good 01:46:20 On a side note, there's a Microsoft world Partners conference in Orlando this week. 01:46:29 I passed out some F22 disks. 01:46:41 now that is cool! 01:47:19 hahahahah 01:47:59 if I would have known you were there ParadoxGuitarist, I could have made arrangements to meet up, but I have to work all weekend 01:48:52 No worries, I've been pretty busy (from 7am-10 most days) 01:49:16 And the wife is with me, so that's been my free time when it's around 01:49:50 yes I would have to bring mine too, we just could go down there without going to WDW 01:50:24 yeah, it's not at our hotel, but they're housing all the the folks from Denmark, and Norway at our hotel. 01:53:19 wow that conf is expensive.... just looked at the site whoa 01:53:52 yeah, I'm here for a church thing 01:54:43 anyone have anything else 01:55:38 ok folks see you all next week 01:55:42 #endmeeting
