Lets talk after meeting on phone 01:16:49 ianweller: well, it would be nice if it could be this fall sort of around the time it is held in EMEA, but any time would be ok post generating an agenda and doing the logistics 01:16:51 sure. 01:16:56 Cool :) 01:17:12 * dan408 charges up phone 01:17:12 inode0: well, i was gonna suggest maybe doing it shouldering fudcon lawrence? 01:17:16 either before, after, or both 01:17:35 not sure if it's a good idea or not, but decided to throw it out there 01:18:01 ianweller: we did discuss that early on, and while I'd prefer something more isolated if that works out better we can do that 01:18:24 yeh, i understand that 01:18:56 ok I need to get back to work, I'm somewhat here. 01:18:56 And 2 differing locations makes it more likely folks can attend one of them 01:19:14 dan408, phonecall in a few hours :) 01:19:20 nah call me at 7 01:19:25 k 01:19:26 i wanna get outta here 01:19:30 I agree, the other coast is a little far for me 01:19:59 2 proposed locations 01:19:59 You guys on East Coast, thats almost as far as Europe :) 01:20:06 srs 01:20:22 who is planning to attend is important as well in determining location 01:20:27 europe is closer for me 01:20:36 i'll attend depending on location. 01:20:41 but until someone has an actual facility we aren't getting any closer to picking a location 01:20:51 inode0: what is required? 01:20:53 * MarkDude is planning on going, and depending on how close to West Coast, more of BAMF 01:20:54 is this on the wiki? 01:21:03 depending on the location I plan to attend if all day traveling isnt required 01:21:40 dan408: are you looking for the info on the FADNA so far (from previous meetings?) 01:21:48 no. 01:22:03 It does not estimate how many folks- so I assume under 20? 01:22:03 yeah i mean are you guys going to fly me out to say atlanta, put me up in a room, and pay for food? 01:22:04 dan408: you need to be a good host for 10-20 people, they need a place to work, they need a place to sleep, they need a way to get around 01:22:27 well, it may be 6-10 people depending 01:22:35 and so, there's no money in the budget to pay for this? 01:22:49 and why only 6-10 people? 01:23:09 yes, there is money in the budget for this if "this" justifies spending the money it ends up costing :) 01:23:12 in atlanta I would only ask for 50% of the room and no travel costs 01:23:20 Ok, givers me enough to ponder it- altho I think Silicon Valley may be better than say SF- I can have some details checked out- Ryan Singer brings with him- space at Standford- 01:23:25 that's reassuring to hear. 01:23:50 We have space theere- so dan408 and I will shut up now- and see what we can figure if travel works for that, etc 01:24:04 yep 01:24:08 +1 MarkDude 01:24:11 universities are nice because they normally will provide free space for this sort of work with nice network capabilites 01:24:21 Stanford 01:24:28 other sites have been used in the past, anything that works works 01:25:02 lets not forget about us east coast guys 01:25:12 * inode0 isn't sure we can make any more progress on this tonight 01:25:22 inode0: please define any other requirements and information and MarkDude and I will come with a serious proposal by next week. 01:25:48 yes please let us know what you want 01:26:03 stanford is a very nice location 01:26:20 +1 scientes 01:26:27 There is a ticket open, I have provided a link detailing the last FADNA twice at least, what more do you need? 01:26:49 and I've set up the new link with the template that lays out the planning steps 01:27:04 I posted it earlier, above :) 01:27:24 #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassador_Day_North_America_2010 01:27:33 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassador_Day_North_America_2012 01:27:53 the 2012 link is where the new stuff can go 01:28:04 okay if that's all you need let's move on. 01:28:53 what are we doing?

01:38:50 Depending on where the FAMDay is located, that is why I am trying to figure out either TX 01:39:08 or Atlanta/SF 01:39:34 graphite6, will be near us in SF soon I heard 01:39:36 I can travel to TX if need be 01:39:42 inode0: nope, the AS7 on Fedora flyers were printed for the summit and I took home half the extras and the east coast event box has the rest now :) 01:40:12 she said that word again 01:40:21 MarkDude: I will, Sunday - Friday then driving to Portland for CLS, then a few days at oscon 01:40:43 uh oh, what word :P 01:41:16 But as for JAX San Fran, I'm good 01:41:17 Oh cool.
