02:10:52 <zodbot> masta: #68 (FAmNA Meeting Organization) – FAmNA general trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/68
02:10:58 <vwbusguy> herlo, haha
02:11:27 <vwbusguy> herlo, yeah, building out the beer belly out of marital solidarity, right?
02:11:38 <masta> if anybody would like to remark on that ticket, plz go for it
02:11:47 <vwbusguy> that meetings are boring?
02:12:34 <vwbusguy> It's hard to tell if the concern is the entertainment or the attendance
02:12:47 <vwbusguy> If it's entertainment we can add more flame bots
02:13:10 <masta> vwbusguy: hehe
02:13:13 <vwbusguy> If it's attendance, my usual issue is I'm not usually home at our meeting time
02:13:24 <masta> we can probably close that ticket
02:13:28 <vwbusguy> it's 6pm pacific
02:13:55 <masta> #topic === 2014 Event calendar ===
02:14:10 <masta> I started making a calendar of events in 2014
02:14:21 <masta> it's still very tentative, and incomplete
02:14:37 <masta> mostly NA events, but some bigs ones in Europe, and hoep to add Latam and APAC
02:14:40 <chanchito> do we need to find a way to collaborate jointly and work on tickets during the meetings?  team efforts?
02:15:12 <herlo> masta: that's part of why I'm here. :)
02:16:21 <chanchito> i know i've missed a lot during the last 6 months and need to catch up
02:16:24 <masta> herlo: cool
02:16:40 <masta> my calendar is on google calendar, not sure how to share it actually
02:16:51 <masta> but i'm looking right now, one sec
02:17:01 <vwbusguy> you can export it as ical or xml
02:17:19 <vwbusguy> Google should have a link for it
02:17:37 <vwbusguy> masta, but really, I think the calendar needs to be on the wiki
02:18:04 <masta> vwbusguy: feel free to xfer the calendar I've made to the wiki
02:18:20 <masta> my work flow is google
02:18:29 <masta> https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=mlhhr7ql7g7apnsmr9pcof24k8%40group.calendar.google.com
02:18:35 <herlo> vwbusguy: masta: we should be using fedocal
02:18:50 <herlo> https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar
02:19:04 <vwbusguy> cool
02:19:05 <masta> agree, but it's easy to open google calendar, and that's what I used to compose this one.
02:19:12 <herlo> masta: :)
02:19:19 <masta> anyhow, I wanted to share this to get people looking at 2014 events
02:19:24 <herlo> I think fedocal can be linked (or should be able to be)
02:19:29 <masta> we should for sure put these in a fedocal
02:19:30 <herlo> masta: agreed. :)
02:19:44 <herlo> masta: in fact, https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/Events/
02:19:55 <chanchito> wow, nice!
02:19:57 <chanchito> i like them
02:20:11 <chanchito> great idea!
02:20:36 <masta> herlo: nice
02:20:51 <masta> who wants to populate the fedocal events page?
02:21:05 * herlo votes against himself. :)
02:21:07 <masta> also, should that be broken out into regions, or kept global?
02:21:12 * masta is not it!
02:21:24 <herlo> lol
02:21:32 <chanchito> hmmm, regional tabs in the calendar....sounds good, convenient too!
02:21:43 <chanchito> another good idea
02:22:57 <masta> well I have found a lot of events for 2014, and my next goal is to plot the dates for the "call for papers deadline"
02:23:09 <herlo> masta: maybe people who add items to the events page should just have to add them here too?
02:23:19 <chanchito> smart
02:23:24 <masta> the fedocal really does not support all the meta data we would want to have as ambassadors
02:23:38 <herlo> along with things like CFP and such as it is appropriate.
02:24:01 <herlo> masta: but let's file bugs for it instead of not using it, maybe?
02:24:13 <masta> herlo: that seems fair
02:24:15 <herlo> but I agree it's missing things
02:24:26 <herlo> https://fedorahosted.org/fedocal/
02:24:44 * vwbusguy might be able to help with metadata mods, but probably not for populating the data
02:25:11 * herlo notes he added SCaLE 12x to fedocal :)
02:25:37 <masta> anybody want to volunteer to populate fedocal?
02:25:51 <masta> I can do it, but not right away...
02:26:01 <masta> if anybody wants a task, feel free to step forward
02:26:07 <masta> (easy task)
02:26:42 <herlo> yup
02:26:44 <herlo> very easy
02:27:16 * masta notes the crickets chirping
02:27:21 <masta> ok, moving on...
02:27:41 <masta> #topic === Open Floor ===
02:27:48 <masta> yah! open floor
02:27:56 <masta> happy time
02:28:16 <masta> ok we can discuss anything we want that does not fall into a normalized topic
02:28:27 <masta> 1...2...3...
02:28:30 <masta> talk
02:29:07 <herlo> okay, so I'm organizing the booth for SCaLE
02:29:09 <herlo> 12x
02:29:18 <herlo> I need volunteers to sign up
02:29:20 <vwbusguy> :-)
02:29:31 <dramsey> OMG, crickets.
02:29:39 <herlo> vwbusguy and I will be there.
02:29:45 <herlo> along with douglax
02:29:47 <vwbusguy> herlo, paradoxguitarist and douglax
02:29:53 <herlo> yes, them! :)
02:30:05 <vwbusguy> paradoxguitarist is coming and he's bringing his wife
02:30:24 <vwbusguy> I will be on SCaLE's dime this time
02:30:37 <masta> nice
02:30:46 <masta> herlo: who is the event owner?
02:31:19 <masta> do we need to decide any things here tonight? got media, got budget, etc?
02:31:32 <vwbusguy> masta, herlo is going to "own" it, but I'll present the budget next weeting, if that time frame is acceptable
02:31:50 <vwbusguy> we have media
02:31:58 <vwbusguy> we will need banners/event box
02:31:58 <masta> vwbusguy: the sooner the better
02:32:03 <herlo> masta: I am
02:32:16 * herlo notes https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SCALE_12X_Event is in draft mode now
02:32:32 <masta> vwbusguy: I suggest we get a ticket in, and get Dan put to action with the west-coast box ASAP
02:32:34 <vwbusguy> Sorry, was waiting to hear about paradoxguitarist, and then got sidetracked with work today :-9
02:33:12 <masta> who is in the SCalE area that can receive the box?
02:33:21 <vwbusguy> herlo, we talked about having it shipped to the hotel, right?  otherwise, he can send it to me and I can bring it with me
02:33:27 <herlo> yes, let's do that.
02:33:33 <vwbusguy> which?
02:33:46 <herlo> they have instructions in the event packet we got
02:33:48 <herlo> vwbusguy: hotel
02:33:51 <masta> vwbusguy: I would rather you take it, I hate sending to hotels if that is acceptable to you?
02:34:13 <herlo> masta: the conference has a shipping location to hold it and everything.
02:34:14 <vwbusguy> it's herlo's event, so it should be his call IMO
02:34:18 <masta> herlo: oh you want the hotel, ok (shrug)
02:34:27 <masta> yep
02:34:32 <herlo> heh, I don't personally care. Just want it to be easy on everyone.
02:34:41 <masta> double yep
02:35:48 <masta> cool
02:36:12 <masta> Alright, well we can discuss more on SCaLE ... next week
02:36:13 <herlo> we're planning a FAD too.
02:36:20 <masta> herlo: oh?
02:36:21 <herlo> an actual FAD
02:36:32 <vwbusguy> yes, FAD!
02:36:34 <herlo> we're going to hack on a solution for managing attendees at a booth
02:36:34 <masta> interesting, what do you have in mind herlo ?
02:36:39 <vwbusguy> I'm very excited about this one
02:36:40 <herlo> vwbusguy's idea really
02:37:00 <herlo> we'll create a wiki page for it, but we want to get a few hackers in the room for sure.
02:37:02 <vwbusguy> masta, creating a kiosk for the booth for future Fedora contributors
02:37:06 <masta> sounds interesting, so software solution?
02:37:11 <herlo> design and tooling are cool too.
02:37:15 <masta> like a kiosk?
02:37:16 <vwbusguy> masta, yes
02:37:31 <vwbusguy> masta, exactly
02:38:33 <masta> I've had ideas like that too, like a touch display for attendees to interact with... but my creative side lacks... looking forward to findout what you folks come up with
02:40:05 <masta> ok folks...
02:40:25 <masta> more crickets
02:40:30 <masta> time to wrap it up
02:40:42 <masta> does anybody have any last minute things to say?
02:41:29 <vwbusguy> 42
02:41:52 <vwbusguy> do we know who from rh is coming?
02:42:09 <vwbusguy> usually it's robyn, ruth, tom, and karsten
02:42:16 <masta> I will just mention that Fedora election season is upon us... so watch out for your opportunity to vote soon... FAmNA, FESCo, Board...
