Please research the costs and make a proposal in upcoming meetings. 01:31:09 good job in ohio! 01:31:11 * kk4ewt 01:31:15 nice pictures! 01:31:19 #chair kk4ewt 01:31:19 Current chairs: MarkDude chanchito dan408 farmerrob graphite6 inode0 kk4ewt masta wrnash1 01:31:20 ??? 01:31:39 I know a good swag producer 01:31:49 should the list of possible events and possible swag with estimates be put on the FADNA wikipage? 01:32:01 there are so many swag items i wish we had a budget for 01:32:14 graphite6: that would be great but I don't care too much where it lands 01:32:24 any other ideas for the FADNA ? 01:32:34 to wrap up my point on this 01:32:46 graphite6: my rule of thumb 10-20% of attendance 01:32:49 for activity day, i think a short class on using the wiki tools would be nice 01:32:52 for newer people 01:33:04 I would like that 01:33:05 we need these two lists before December in order for us to estimate a budget for it to present in December 01:33:14 how to request things, how to order, how to create tickets, how to add pages, etc 01:33:27 that isn't very far in the future - we need to get moving now in order to get it done 01:33:36 * inode0 steps down from his soapbox 01:33:37 how to vote, how to create events, etc etc 01:33:51 ok sorry 01:34:14 ok also can we put the request swag back on the wiki 01:34:30 its spot got replaced by the meeting tac 01:34:34 trac link 01:34:46 chanchito: that would be a good FUDCon hackfest I think 01:34:52 #info wiki update and hackathon durring FADNA, improve the wiki. 01:35:00 FADNA isn't really intended for people who don't know what they are doing yet 01:35:02 and the way the wiki is written it is confusing 01:35:31 well, maybe not improve it so much, but quick class on how to use all the tools and features and then maybe it wont need to imptove once everyone knows how to use it better 01:35:43 kk4ewt: +1 01:35:58 +1 01:36:03 kk4ewt: after discussing it with cwickert we decided to change the trac there on purpose 01:36:06 +1 01:36:10 kk4ewt: +1 01:36:14 +1 01:36:17 the general trac has a link to the requests trac on its front page 01:36:30 inode0: and it there is no link to the other trac instance at all now 01:36:36 and it is causeing issues 01:36:43 what? 01:36:47 #info we need some figures ready by december to give to the benefactors - cannot wait for FADNA - people needs to get the swag figured out, and a general idea of events. 01:37:17 ok i will submit the estimates i have so far for a few items, hopefully they get some consideration 01:37:36 no where on the wiki is the link to the other trac so how are we suppose to instruct new ambassadors on its use 01:38:02 imagine gently tossing fedora frisbees at events, across a conference hall, to happy users waiting to catch them, 01:38:04 great point kk4ewt 01:38:06 and there are tickets that are not getting filed for events as far as needs for shipping 01:38:07 masta: we can hammer out details at fadna but we need a budget earlier (the budget can be a bit rough) 01:38:29 inode0: we will discuss this after the meeting 01:38:37 thank you 01:38:38 good point, we either do a video tutorial, record it, or we do a short class at FADNA 01:39:39 i think the wiki intimidates until you get familiar and gain confidence, a class would help IMHO 01:39:58 ok on the Budget 01:40:00 chanchito: you really should drop your swag ideas into the pile because they are always great 01:40:00 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApBrbq5j6NbOdG0zQzVvR3VqQ05NaE5xaDdLOWh3a0E#gid=0 01:40:01 i like it now because i know how to use the main features 01:40:03 It would help me 01:40:10 ok thx john 01:40:12 i will 01:40:58 ok guys i went through the wiki pages on the events on FY12 and i came up with the following 01:41:13 we need to go through and update for FY13 01:41:16 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApBrbq5j6NbOdG0zQzVvR3VqQ05NaE5xaDdLOWh3a0E#gid=0 01:41:45 kk4ewt: thanks for putting that together 01:42:11 so anyone with the link can edit and add to as nessassary 01:42:14 kk4ewt: awesome! thank you 01:42:41 so someone needs to go through and add the expenses for the fy 13 stuff so far 01:43:08 wow sxsw is a big cost center 01:43:10 for the New People Redhat starts its fiscal year on June 01:43:21 masta yea it was 01:43:21 thx changes added ! 01:43:38 kk4ewt: thx a million! 01:43:41 sxsw was an experiment that had some funding issues - that was not the plan 01:44:06 i only added events from my region 01:44:11 also if you had an event in f12 and the expenses are not there (exclude shipping and swag) 01:44:19 and for the record our approved budget was 3k which is still a lot but nothing like what we ended up paying 01:44:20 please update the page 01:45:42 so any event that had shipping expense 01:46:14 * masta is not sure what the ups label cost kk4ewt to ship things to dallas 01:47:01 all the ups charges are on my credit card wiki page 01:47:02 updated 01:47:11 masta no dont count shipping 01:47:27 #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Inode0/community_credit_card_report 01:47:36 but like what the total budget apprved and spent 01:48:14 I don't itemize shipping by event there - the totals spent are good enough for our budgeting needs 01:48:17 wait... fy13 started in june?
