01:33:41 so we manage our own budget? 01:34:12 i think we can do the whole event for 1500 instead of the 2k 01:34:12 so if someone is having issues getting reimbursed it's not a suehle problem? 01:34:21 dan408: stay on topic 01:34:25 i am 01:34:29 no you are not 01:34:36 you are going off on tangents 01:34:43 no it's a very important question 01:34:48 please answer 01:35:07 dan408: we have to pass a budget for her to spend the money where we say 01:35:09 I have had no problems with reimbursements 01:35:16 ok thanks 01:35:32 dan408: who said anything about reimburstments above 01:35:47 nobody in the meeting, outside the meeting someone mentioned it 01:36:10 so tonight i want to set the budget, for $1500 for now 01:36:22 kk4ewt; for logistics call me this week 01:36:22 that sounds great 01:36:54 but if needed it may go back to the 2k if we have to 01:37:13 * inode0 would like to make a comment here 01:37:22 go inode0 01:38:12 If we can afford $1K to send someone to help three others with a booth in NO we can afford sending Dulaney to OLF for the entire event. 01:38:30 * inode0 has no problem bumping the OLF budget up to accommodate that 01:39:39 inode0 who else is attending in NO 01:40:11 inode0: put into perspective that makes sense 01:40:42 LinuxCon expenses have been significantly reduced... 01:40:46 I agree, since right now I only know of myself and 3 RH people 01:40:57 not sure anybody noticed but the hotel costs have been halved 01:41:00 which is what I said 01:41:11 yes we moved to a cheaper place 01:41:31 let's not go back to this debate, it was decided 01:41:50 I'm just saying in light of that I want to support a speaker at OLF that costs less. 01:42:29 yeah.... we should be promoting speakers 01:42:38 We can move money since we aren't buying any swag or banners or tablecloths anyway. 01:43:37 * inode0 moves we bump for now the OLF budget to $2500 01:44:09 +1 from me 01:44:30 i dont see we need it but +1 01:44:38 OLF can always not spend it 01:44:55 But there isn't any reason to feel budget constrained 01:45:39 ok so are we set on $2500 for OLF?
