Glad you could join us :D 01:19:33 Hi everyone, thanks for the welcome. 01:20:05 Anything else for announcements? 01:20:20 not i 01:21:53 Well then we go on! 01:21:55 #topic Events 01:22:08 Anyone got any? 01:22:31 #topic OLF 01:23:03 I have gotten the paperwork for OLF which i will get filed tomorrow 01:23:37 at this point i am doing the normal project registration 01:24:09 I added the OLF event to the Events page. Should there also be a link to the FAD page? 01:24:42 I would like to see us sponsor more if possible that the $75 table 01:24:47 than 01:25:29 like a $500 sponsorship 01:26:06 * inode0 is only concerned that FAmNA is quite a bit over its budget now 01:26:28 I would agree with VileGent and see if you can get funding from commarch or another source. 01:26:57 we would get it from the budget of other regions, which may be ok 01:27:25 you=we 01:27:38 i thought we were way under budget before the stickers. was that the tipping point? 01:27:39 ? 01:27:56 let me get the commarch page 01:28:36 * inode0 can't find it 01:29:14 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Architecture_expenses 01:29:54 NA -- $23,505 not including the $2300 or so for shirts and the whatever it came to for the stickers 01:30:16 ? 01:30:38 given we aren't near the end of the fiscal year we are already above our $20k base share of the budget 01:31:43 so for now i will go for the $75 sponsorship and see if closer to the event if some other money comes available 01:32:05 we should maybe invite the new guy to a meeting :) 01:33:09 well what should i do? 01:33:11 Well, if I may make a point on the commarch side of things, it appears that regional support still has $30,000 or so left, and I think wresting $500 from that might be possible 01:33:56 lcafiero: and we are at 6months into the new year ? 01:34:00 that is left for through next Feb isn't it? and likely will include helping two upcoming fudcons 01:34:14 Is it February? 01:34:20 inode0: fudcon is different money 01:34:28 What VileGent said 01:34:28 VileGent: yes and no 01:34:42 But mostly yes 01:34:50 we helped pay for our fudcon from our budget and I would hope APAC does too since they never spend any of theirs 01:35:07 or not very much 01:36:13 * inode0 just encourages maybe talking with harish and seeing how he sees the rest of the year unfolding 01:36:31 +1 01:36:34 * inode0 shuts up now 01:36:42 so what be the will of this committee on what we should do as far as OLF 01:37:58 given that with additional unrecorded spend I think we have closer to $20k left worldwide I'm just very nervous about things that are discretionary 01:38:41 * VileGent motion we go for the $75 sponsorship for now 01:38:44 although there is some other free money so I know we aren't in a crisis too, and $500 isn't that much as lcafiero said 01:39:02 +1 01:39:17 +1 01:39:45 +1 01:40:25 +1 01:41:00 #agreed we sponsor OLF with a $75 sponsorship 01:42:23 Aaaanything else? 01:42:48 #Topic Swag 01:42:54 nb ping 01:43:00 inode0, hi 01:43:09 pong! 01:43:09 just saw your comment above 01:43:33 nb media for northof the border? 01:43:42 * harish gotta get off the intertubes now. 01:43:55 VileGent, has been shipped via USPS 01:44:00 should arrive sometime soon 01:44:25 #info Canadian media has, indeed, been shipped. 01:46:11 oh hi! 01:46:18 oh, he left 01:48:31 Yeahhh. 01:48:34 Anything else for Swag? 01:48:42 I think the stickers are ordered too 01:49:03 rbergeron should know more about that, like how much they set us back 01:49:24 we did buy stickers for the entire planet though 01:50:09 yay for earth! 01:50:25 They don't call it a big BLUE marble for nothing 01:50:36 * mockmobile is losing to the effects of the benadryl... 01:52:54 #topic Open Floor/Unfinished Business 01:55:13 Anyone got anything? 01:56:35 Anyone at all? 01:56:42 not I 01:57:13 Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight! 01:57:16 * inode0 has unfinished business regarding the shirts - will try to deal with that post meeting 01:57:16 #endmeeting
