02:15:42 remains to be seen if there is a release by then :) 02:16:08 we could revisit F7 if not :) 02:17:19 only if it was a happiness and joy during F7 02:17:58 anyways...back to FADNA 02:18:08 #action Update your travel plans on the wikipage if you're attending FADNA 02:18:40 it was named moonshine, of course it was happiness and joy! 02:18:50 Do we have a room for our mooovalous Ambassador work? 02:19:07 is there going to be a presetation package available for us to review for those who cannot attend? 02:19:36 inode0: followed by the release hangover :D 02:20:25 #idea will there be a presentation package available for review for those who cannot attend FADNA? 02:21:10 so no room assigned yet? 02:21:16 that would be a great help to me here all alone in the southeast 02:21:20 well, I think we do have a room 02:21:39 but only ruth can probably fill in the details 02:22:26 I could ask Ruth for the details and put them on the wikipage...yes? or not important? 02:23:20 at some point we need to know what room we have :) 02:23:37 not very urgent as long as we have a room 02:24:06 #action graphite6 will confirm FADNA room and ask Ruth for the details and put them on the wikipage 02:24:13 Schedule - What time do I have to get my lazy butt out of bed? 02:24:25 on Thursday 02:25:49 thinks maybe should table FADNA discussion if we're all sleepy? 02:26:52 * nb is not sleepy 02:26:56 but just doesn't have much to say 02:27:14 nb: no worries :D 02:27:27 * nb was dealing with fires at $2ndjob 02:27:34 networking issues causing our servers to be offline 02:27:43 which just got resolved 02:27:48 yeah, I haven't given this any thought yet really 02:28:02 we need to prioritize what we are doing 02:28:06 then schedule it 02:28:13 I would greatly appreciate a FADNA media, presentation, information since I cannot attend. The material would greatly improve and put me on the same page with everyone else 02:28:22 what I'm thinking is that some of the FADNA details just need to be nailed down and an email may be the best way to get more input 02:28:27 we should start fairly early ... that is 9-10am inode0_time 02:29:01 inode0: as long as I'm highly caffeinated and sugared 02:29:14 inode0, +1 02:29:41 just to mention one other thing: Ambassador videos 02:29:44 I suspect some of us will start the night before and be up late :) 02:30:09 For Fedora's Anniversary (thanks inode0) the marketing team will do contributor videos 02:30:10 Yes, videos would help 02:30:32 I'm bringing this list of equipement for recording: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/411 02:30:39 * inode0 rolls his eyes 02:31:09 no eyerolling! or I'll record you not stop all weekend :D 02:31:47 but on Thursday the ambassadors can use the equipment for our own fun and games (and important stuff) 02:32:10 yes thats what I am talking about.

02:37:38 #idea Are there conferences or events in any of following categories that you think Fedora should consider sponsoring, attending, sending swag to, just keeping on our radar, etc.? 02:37:55 #info the long list of categories is in the ticket 02:38:12 #link https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/47 02:38:49 I like this Idea, I have already reached out to a few groups in the Jacksonville Fl area, just waiting to hear if they are interested in putting something together 02:39:38 i have been doing Fedora demos at a couple of Sci-fi cons as well 02:40:33 kk4ewt: I am jealous, I would have attended as well 02:40:51 kk4ewt, i wonder how popular fedora would be at hamfests or something? 02:41:21 #info kk4ewt has been doing Fedora demos at a couple of Sci-fi cons 02:41:38 nb if we can get all the right programs working in linux we would be golden 02:41:39 we have in the past approved an experimental visit to comiccon and that might be something to try again 02:41:49 #idea would fedora be popular at hamfests? 02:42:19 I have been promoting within my government office as an alternative to home PC use, seems to be going well 02:42:38 I would like to consider FreedomFest - which is really out of our comfort zone but I can give some reasons to consider it 02:43:26 Freedomfest? 02:43:30 #idea Fedora at FreedomFest 02:43:46 http://freedomfest.com/ 02:44:05 I really think we need input from people in other areas of the project 02:44:19 #idea Fedora at comiccons 02:44:26 I just don't have any idea what might be good for parts I'm not very involved in 02:44:44 comicons are very expensive 02:44:59 inode0: I agree in trying to get input from other areas of the project 02:45:27 I am up for Freedom Fest, I have family in the area, would save on hotel costs 02:46:33 yes comicons are quite pricey 02:47:31 i will be going to a couple of local cons the next quarter so i will see how things go 02:47:53 kk4ewt, can I go with you? 02:48:10 might be worth my travel 02:49:51 award3535: we can duscuss later 02:49:56 discuss 02:49:57 * rbergeron thinks velocity would be an awesome conference 02:50:02 also: devopsdays 02:50:16 awesome new conference 02:50:18 possibly 02:50:33 #idea Fedora at Velocity 02:50:47 #idea Fedora at DevOpsDays 02:51:18 * inode0 suggests anything ignite as well 02:51:49 #idea Fedora at Ignite 02:52:18 are ignite events held separately as well as attached to other events? 02:52:43 yes, separately 02:53:20 gotcha 02:53:23 shall we move on? 02:53:33 though here it'd really only a "if i can present on fedora" thing 02:53:41 not a boothy place 02:53:54 though sponsorship is always an option 02:53:55 yes, ignite would only be talks 02:54:08 anyway :D 02:54:25 I'll attach these ideas to the ticket and send a follow up email to get the pot stirring with those people not here 02:54:31 #topic Open Floor 02:54:34 FreedomFest would also not be a booth event, more selling/promoting open source/fedora in a community that appreciates our values and work already 02:54:52 I agree 02:55:47 and happens to write articles about that subject on occasion - more of which would be great to see 02:58:11 inode0: +1, although you'll have to explain the libertarian thing to me (I'm suspicious of all organized political groups) 02:58:45 .ping 02:58:45 pong 02:59:30 I'll wrap this up in a minute.... 02:59:47 graphite6: the Fedora Project is a great example of libertarian principles in action :) 03:00:00 kk4ewt, what do you think about us having a booth at dayton hamvention? 03:00:07 not about politics at all 03:00:10 * nb-- asked and then lost his connection, so not sure if you already answered 03:00:29 I am going to call it a night, early 430 wake up is hard enough, Good night everyone...... 03:00:36 night award3535 03:01:51 inode0: gotcha 03:02:05 any last hurahs?
