TXLF is organized by the same folks who do SELF I believe 01:24:58 * rbergeron is +1 to the budget for this, if we are anticipating that the sponsorship itself will cost more I am okay with that. 01:25:07 * inode0 doesn't think so 01:25:18 masta: not really the same crew but there may be some cross-over 01:25:28 but txlf has been certainly proving itself over the past few years 01:25:28 TXLF and SELF are different groups 01:25:38 oh, I stand corrected 01:25:47 media went fast last year at TLF 01:25:54 It was a very nice event last year and I heard the same about previous years 01:26:21 inode0: what's the deal with "waiting for sponsorship details" ? 01:26:23 not sure on cost or ? 01:26:27 four hundred the first day another fifty the second day 01:26:52 They say to ask about details so I did once I knew I was going, which was just a couple days ago. 01:27:18 so we're not sure if $500 is correct at this point? 01:27:29 We gave them $500 last year, so I'm assuming that number. 01:27:32 okay 01:27:51 hopefully they will ping me back soon 01:28:16 * rbergeron moves that we approve the budget as is, so people can get moving on their travel details; if we need to revisit the sponsorship cost we can. budget is at ~$1400 right now 01:28:20 do you have a contact, or going through the web-form ? 01:28:35 sorry to miss TLF this year was a great time 01:28:36 +1 approve 01:28:49 I have nothing but an email address to send a request to?!
