02:07:21 <chanchito> i know, before everyone drops hot coals on my head, yes i know i need to create some event tickets and post details, i will also need to askl for some volunteers too
02:07:22 <masta> chanchito: anything we need to do to help make this event fabulous?
02:07:25 <chanchito> yes
02:07:33 <chanchito> we need some additional speakers
02:07:37 <chanchito> we need some swag
02:07:49 <chanchito> we need the $500 for gold sponsorship
02:07:58 <chanchito> MIT and Harvard students attending
02:08:11 <chanchito> i have friends on both campuses
02:08:20 <chanchito> im inviting the BLUG from MIT
02:08:26 <chanchito> and OSTUG from ri
02:08:35 <chanchito> redhat will be there
02:08:42 <chanchito> OpenSuSE again
02:08:45 <chanchito> Debian
02:08:50 <chanchito> FreeBSD
02:08:57 <chanchito> and a bunch of vendors
02:09:14 <chanchito> so the expectation is over 5,000 in attendance
02:09:17 <chanchito> conservative
02:09:32 <masta> ok, so please get the ticket in for the $500 sponsorship, and the swag request
02:09:40 <chanchito> long weekend and we have the entire CS building, plus one floor of classrooms dedicated to the fedora track
02:09:49 <masta> I'll see about helpign with folsk to give talks
02:09:52 <chanchito> yes im a little behind, one million apologies all
02:10:02 <masta> bleh.... helping with folks*
02:10:05 <chanchito> work has been kicking my tail, and the blizzard
02:10:08 <chanchito> poor excuses
02:10:47 <chanchito> i need one other person so i can give some fedora talks and some other presentations
02:10:58 <chanchito> so if we take turns, the audience will have multiple speakers
02:11:05 <chanchito> it will give a better impression
02:11:28 <masta> We have a Fedora-arm person in Chambridge, he might be available.. I'll check
02:11:37 <chanchito> i know the team from BSD came last year, and the one person gave all of their talks, people were not paying attention after the second one
02:11:43 <chanchito> cool beans
02:11:47 <chanchito> if not, ill fly someone in
02:11:50 <nb> hi
02:11:55 <chanchito> hey hey hey
02:12:01 <masta> #chair nb
02:12:01 <zodbot> Current chairs: chanchito dramsey inode0 masta nb
02:12:37 <masta> chanchito: might consider sending out a call for papers, etc... see if anybody bites
02:12:44 * rbergeron pops in late
02:12:58 <masta> #chair rbergeron
02:12:58 <zodbot> Current chairs: chanchito dramsey inode0 masta nb rbergeron
02:13:49 <masta> chanchito: ok, well.... just get started with the ticket, and things will start to happen
02:13:54 <chanchito> so basically that's the meat and potatoes about NELF
02:14:05 <masta> chanchito: cool
02:14:06 <rbergeron> chanchito: there are plenty of folks in teh boston-ish area, I am sure you could probably get different people for every slot there is :)
02:14:28 <chanchito> this is the really important year to make the splash at Harvard, also because I want to use the event to get space at M.I.T as well
02:14:56 <chanchito> thx FPL!  i figured as much, if i can get 2-3 people, that will be more than plenty
02:15:06 <chanchito> that gives the audience at least 3 different speakers
02:15:23 <chanchito> and shows MIT that they need to have us over for an event too
02:16:11 <chanchito> im counting on my friends in the BLUG at MIT to swing by as well,
02:16:15 * inode0 thinks he recalls MIT hosting FUDCon
02:16:25 <chanchito> they are also interesting in planning events
02:16:32 <chanchito> let's do it again
02:16:58 <chanchito> so i know i need to get cracking on the tickets, i will ASAP
02:17:05 <masta> =)
02:17:09 <chanchito> and put down some specifics so we can plan
02:17:19 <chanchito> i promise to get that done this week!
02:17:32 <masta> ok so moving on
02:17:35 <masta> thank you chanchito
02:17:45 <chanchito> :-)
02:17:50 <masta> .famnaticket 48
02:17:52 <zodbot> masta: #48 (PyCon 2013 March 13 - 21, Santa Clara, CA) – FAmNA general trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/48
02:18:29 <masta> AFAIK we just need to get swag to that guy going to pycon, right?
02:18:46 <inode0> as far as I know yes - nb?
02:20:07 <masta> Toshiro, right?
02:20:31 <rbergeron> toshio, yes
02:20:54 <kdas_> are we still discussing ticket 48 ?
02:21:05 <rbergeron> and he lives in the area so it's fairly easy for him to just take it down with him, AIUI
02:21:06 <masta> oops my spelling of his name, sry Toshio (if you read our logs)
02:21:56 <abadger1999> heh :-)
02:22:02 * rbergeron hugs abadger1999
02:22:09 <masta> ok, so do we need a ticket for NB to react against in terms of sending swag? an event page or any other things?
02:23:02 <inode0> probably
02:23:03 <rbergeron> it wouldn't hurt, unless abadger1999 has already provided all his shippy details to nb
02:23:09 <rbergeron> and it's already been sent
02:23:25 * inode0 still waiting to hear from nb  :)
02:23:41 <rbergeron> and even then it's nice to know where the swag goes and if it's found to be useful at $event :)
02:23:47 <kdas_> just a sidenote: my poster presentation on "darkserver" project is selected in PyCon and yesterday my visa got approved, now looking for sponsorship for staying/travel , hopefully I will make it this time to pycon
02:23:56 <inode0> The request is to send more or less the same as last year - but I don't recall what that was
02:24:19 <inode0> abadger1999: any chance there is a room share?
02:24:42 <nb> i think i'm supposed to send stuff
02:24:45 <nb> but is there a ticket?
02:24:53 * nb doesn't know where to send it i don't think
02:25:01 <inode0> you are and no - send something like last year
02:25:15 <inode0> if you can
02:25:15 <abadger1999> inode0: roommate share you mean?  I think from spot's team, we have four people going, so that's filled our rooms already.
02:25:34 <inode0> abadger1999: yes, kdas_ is looking for some help
02:25:46 <nb> abadger1999, have you given me your address yet? /me does not recall
02:26:03 <abadger1999> I can PM it to you right now.
02:26:42 <masta> thank you abadger1999
02:26:59 <abadger1999> inode0: also -- I hear that we're going to have a decent sized presence this year... Let me know if I should deliver to someone else -- if we have a whole booth or something.
02:27:00 <nb> got it
02:27:17 <abadger1999> cool.
02:27:44 <inode0> abadger1999: we being who? Fedora?
02:28:04 <abadger1999> Fedora and RH both... and separately.
02:28:11 <masta> does somebody want to create a ticket for the swag sending?
02:28:15 <abadger1999> I'm not sure if everyone is talking to each other.
02:28:21 * rbergeron has no idea if we have a booth but can investigate. i think red hat has a big ass booth and maybe gluster, not sure about fedora but i can beep at spot and lh about it
02:28:22 * inode0 is guessing we might get some friendly help from openshift (I think they have a booth)
02:28:25 <rbergeron> abadger1999: what made you think that :)
02:28:33 * abadger1999 is kinda outside of this whole thing... just planning on attendng :-)
02:29:09 <masta> I'm pretty sure we do not have a booth this year, but we want to ensure we get one next year
02:29:26 <inode0> My understanding is we were too late for a booth but plan to get one next year for sure
02:30:09 * rbergeron can take the action to confirm that is definitely the case and find out who does have booths that we might be able to hang out at
02:30:25 <rbergeron> if we don't have one
02:30:31 <abadger1999> Re: roomshare for kushal, migth want to ask them as well -- like I say, I think spot's group has filled their rooms already but I could be wrong about who's going/other groups might have space open.
02:30:49 <masta> we can deposit some swag at the booths.... friends of Fedora
02:30:55 <abadger1999> also... I'll have a car if someone ends up at a different hotel and needs to be driven around :-)
02:31:21 * rbergeron can ask about that as well (if there are any etra spots)
02:31:25 <rbergeron> abadger1999: are you at the hyatt?
02:31:33 * abadger1999 has to take kids to karate now.  Sorry.
02:31:38 <masta> #action rbergeron to look into the booth situation for pycon
02:31:44 <kdas_> rbergeron, thanks
02:32:03 <abadger1999> rbergeron: I think so -- this year, RH sponsored and so spot's taking care of the room details for us as part of that.
02:32:40 <abadger1999> But like I say, if you end up at a different hotel, I can drive around.
02:32:45 * rbergeron wonders if maxamillion is around
02:32:58 * abadger1999 waves goodbye
02:33:02 <rbergeron> ah, well. we'll sort it out. abadger1999 thanks for the updates, have fun at karate :)
02:33:58 <j_dulaney> Sorry I'm late
02:34:24 <masta> hey there j_dulaney
02:34:31 <masta> ok so let's move on
02:34:47 <masta> .famnaticket 50
02:34:49 <zodbot> masta: #50 (LinuxFest NorthWest 2013, Apr 27-28, Bellingham, WA) – FAmNA general trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/50
02:35:21 <rbergeron> hooray lfnw
02:35:33 <masta> the person that normally does that event will NOT this year
02:36:14 <masta> so if  anybody would liek to head up to Canada, err.... Washington state.... that would be great!
02:36:23 <masta> would like*
02:36:40 <masta> ;)
02:37:23 * j_dulaney cannot
02:37:25 <masta> #info need help with LFNW, please tag the ticket if you are interested
02:37:27 * rbergeron will be happy to own it if nobody else does but will probably want some assistance in boothland. I think jesse keating might be able to help out, maybe other random folks around (I hear spevack is going but will be in an amazon booth)
02:37:28 * j_dulaney will be at Merlefest
02:39:11 <masta> rbergeron: yes please, we need event owner, and we can help get people to join the effort
02:39:41 * rbergeron just hates to step in and stop others from owning but can do so to get the proverbial ball rolling
02:40:49 <masta> we can wait a week, but... then we might lose a week
02:41:25 <masta> what should we  be doing to help this event?
02:41:58 <rbergeron> well, i think if there is any pressure to pay anything so we are getting a booth we should do that, and if we need to find an owner now to get that set up then I am happy to step up
02:42:14 <rbergeron> need an event page, event owner, pay for a booth/agree to get a booth
02:42:37 * inode0 can forward email floating around from LFNW to whoever would like it
02:43:06 <masta> ok
02:43:40 <rbergeron> inode0: send it to me plz. masta: can i put you in charge of asking me about status in like 2 days? :)
02:43:51 <masta> #action rbergeron to own the LFNW event
02:44:09 <masta> #action masta to poke rbergeron about the status in like 2 days
02:44:23 <masta> I can help with the vent page too
02:44:27 <rbergeron> ie: "reminding me" since I'm still sort of in technical difficulties mode (NEW LAPTOP HERE TOMORROW YAY)
02:44:28 <masta> event page
02:44:38 <rbergeron> I don't know. I think a vent page would be awesome too
02:44:39 * rbergeron grins
02:44:49 <j_dulaney> .moar Chromebook rbergeron
02:44:49 <zodbot> here rbergeron, have some more Chromebook
02:45:06 <rbergeron> #action inode0 to send aforementioned floating mail to robyn
02:45:15 * inode0 already did that :)
02:45:18 <rbergeron> j_dulaney: yeah that's not eactly what i got
02:45:33 <masta> ok, so one last detail, at what level do we want to sponsore this event?
02:45:43 <masta> #link http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/sponsorship
02:46:24 <masta> it would be great if the vent was like, "whoa, fedora is awesome!"
02:46:27 <masta> *event
02:46:31 <j_dulaney> +1
02:46:43 <inode0> silver or gold depending on how big a presence we'll have and how much money rbergeron has
02:47:08 <rbergeron> I think that when we did budgety things we talked about $500 for each of the major cons; I (sadly) still have not heard anything about next year's budget
02:48:01 <masta> ok, tentativly Silver sponsorship (aka $500)
02:48:09 * j_dulaney is +1 $500
02:48:27 <masta> #info Fedora will likely be a Silver sponsor for LFNW
02:48:46 <masta> alright folks, it's that time.....
02:48:48 <rbergeron> I think if we could rustle up some cool stuff for the raffle it might be fun.
02:49:05 <masta> #topic == Who will be the next FAmNA meeting chair?  ==
02:49:24 * masta is happy to be the next victim, again
02:49:37 <masta> [joking]
02:49:49 <masta> any objections?
02:49:54 <inode0> you won't get any objections from me :)
02:50:19 * masta slams his hammer on his pretend court bench thingy
02:50:19 <rbergeron> your poking and prodding is appreciated :)
02:50:21 <masta> done
02:50:32 <masta> #topic == Open Floor ===
02:50:34 * rbergeron has some open floorish things
02:50:38 <rbergeron> oh look
02:50:39 <rbergeron> open floor
02:50:44 * rbergeron raises her hand
02:50:50 <rbergeron> :D
02:50:53 <inode0> last ten minutes of top gear are a distraction
02:51:03 <rbergeron> inode0: british or american?
02:51:09 <j_dulaney> LOL
02:51:35 <rbergeron> so: I brought home from fosdem like... a bunch of fedora baseball caps that were made in brno... maybe 100ish of them, i haven't counted, may be more like 75 or 80
02:51:59 <nb> +1
02:52:04 <rbergeron> I also have a box of tee shirts at my house. I am not sure what (if anything( i am doing with them or if they are supposed to go in ambassador kits or whtaever.
02:52:14 <rbergeron> (for which I have no other swag, so I guess i'd need to refill that stuff)
02:52:18 <inode0> not ambassador kits
02:52:29 <inode0> use them at events
02:52:58 <rbergeron> well, i mean "when people need me to send them swaggy stuff for events"
02:53:31 <rbergeron> nb: before I dig in this box of shirts, are they all evenly distributed with multiple sizes, all the boes sent out?
02:53:35 * rbergeron hasn't opened it
02:53:44 <rbergeron> actually, i think ben may ahve ordered them and may know better
02:53:46 <nb> yeah
02:53:56 <rbergeron> are there lovely ladies' shirts or did we skip that
02:54:09 <masta> oh the hats came
02:54:22 <rbergeron> masta: ?
02:54:36 <masta> we are supposed to buy our own hats and then send them back to EMEA, to at least that was talked about a few months ago
02:54:41 <inode0> rbergeron: ben did split them as evenly as possible and there are ladies shirts
02:55:08 <rbergeron> YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
02:55:42 * rbergeron isn't clear on the hat thing. all i know is that jiri handed me a bunch of hats and i wound up having to buy a suitcase. hooray
02:56:03 <inode0> I think we are just supposed to shuffle money around
02:56:14 <rbergeron> but they are lovely hats. i don't know what i am supposed to do with them. i don't want to just be like "hey i'm keeping them" since that's kind of crappy.
02:56:14 * MarkDude is unable to make it to Scale
02:56:26 * MarkDude is unable to make it to Scale
02:56:40 <masta> rbergeron: divide them in three
02:56:45 <rbergeron> markdude: but who will wear a penguin suit!
02:57:03 <nb> rbergeron, send a few to ben and I and vwbusguy i would assume?
02:57:11 <masta> rbergeron: send to  our three regional swag people
02:57:11 <nb> although not sure
02:57:13 * inode0 reminds everyone doing shipping they really need to be kind to him the rest of this month
02:57:49 <rbergeron> am i a regional swag person?
02:58:08 * rbergeron doesn't even know. steve was just like "do we need to build an addition for this stuff" lol
02:58:16 <inode0> yes, while you were out the the country you received a promotion
02:58:27 <masta> lol
02:58:29 <rbergeron> inode0: pimpin.
02:58:49 * j_dulaney wonders how someone can get promoted past "Leader"
02:58:51 <rbergeron> nb: i will open a ticket in famnarequests (??) and procure addresses
02:58:57 <rbergeron> j_dulaney: "retirement" ?
02:58:58 <nb> rbergeron, i think you are?
02:59:00 <rbergeron> I mean
02:59:05 <rbergeron> that sounded wrong. but you know what i mean :)
02:59:19 <rbergeron> "leader and shipping EXPERT"
02:59:24 <nb> i thought you were mountain west and vwbusguy is west
02:59:27 <nb> although /me is not really sure
02:59:40 <masta> seem to remember something about changing one of the swag people, perhaps it was changed to rbergeron in an evil plot to cause chaos
02:59:56 <rbergeron> MarkDude: do you or dan408 have the event box?
03:00:17 <nb> dan408-, should have it
03:00:24 <rbergeron> nb: i just bring crap wherever people tell me.
03:00:24 <nb> we made him the new keeper of the event box at fudcon
03:00:26 <nb> i think
03:00:34 <nb> i know it got shipped to him at least
03:00:45 * rbergeron looks at event page to see who is owner of scale
03:01:48 <masta> DING DING DING - this meeting has reached it's hour .... some folks might spontaniously turn into pumpkins
03:01:50 <rbergeron> is vwbusguy the owner or
03:02:15 * rbergeron doesn't get why this page seems to have years-old info on it but
03:02:17 * inode0 thinks he is
03:02:18 <rbergeron> you know
03:02:26 <rbergeron> i have sopapillas nearby, that will fix everything
03:02:41 <dramsey> ;)
03:03:11 <rbergeron> okay, I will see about sending mail I guess to see if the event box is ordered or ... i'll look on list and see if i've missed any scale-related info
03:03:37 <masta> otay
03:03:47 <masta> I'm going to end the meeting now
03:03:51 * rbergeron just accumulated 12 postits
03:03:56 <masta> going once
03:04:05 <masta> twice.....
