It's long... sorry. 01:39:18 =) 01:39:30 no worries, you also might want to post it on the Fedora magazine 01:39:37 I don't think I'm going to do Fedora Jam again. 01:39:43 at least for a while. 01:39:51 Eh... I'd need to re-write it. 01:40:06 It's more geared towards Ambassadors. 01:40:31 But what I'd like to do is try to come up with a way to demo another spin. 01:40:50 I've been thinking of maybe the gaming spin. 01:41:00 ParadoxGuitarist, another spin currently out or as in a new one 01:41:01 what about the robotics 01:41:09 Already out. 01:41:10 or JAM 01:41:20 Did JAM for the last two years 01:41:29 or is that really gaming one i forget 01:41:34 ah 01:41:40 JAM is the music production one 01:41:49 security maybe 01:42:00 or robotics as award3535 suggested 01:42:10 for a stem themed event 01:42:17 We could set up a tournament with the gaming one and give away swag to the winners. 01:42:33 I like the idea of Robotics, 01:42:39 * Corey84 throws using robotics and sugarlabs more for use with local stem group 01:42:42 that sounds interesting as well 01:42:44 I just don't know that I would showcase. 01:43:10 or 3d printing for a makerspace/stem theme 01:43:29 Would be cool if someone built two little battle bots that folks could come up and try to knock each other down. 01:43:32 Spot does alot of the 3d printing as well 01:43:42 We've also had a 3D printer the last two years 01:44:01 didnt know spot 3d 'd 01:44:02 So I think we should lay off that at SCaLE. 01:44:18 Lulzbot sends them models to demo fedora with. 01:44:26 * masta is here 01:44:27 nice 01:44:28 howdy 01:44:34 masta, howdy 01:44:38 hi Masta 01:44:40 evening masta 01:44:42 masta, open floor atm 01:44:54 The bummer about 3d is it doesn't have a lot of interaction. 01:45:04 sry I'm late 01:45:12 no but it does draw a lot of attention 01:45:16 True. 01:45:26 But people also thought we were selling them. 01:46:03 selling 3d printers or the models themselves 01:46:17 Both 01:46:36 Hmm, I never felt that way, we were always happy to give away what was printed 01:46:37 I had the booth next to us ask me how many units we were able to sell 01:46:49 not a bad fundraiser if we could make the upfront back 01:46:50 Even with all the music stuff going on. 01:46:51 heh. 01:47:26 30 @ $500 pere would be my answer :P 01:47:39 for the small ones 01:48:39 also, what about the amateur radio demo 01:49:09 kk4ewt would be a great resource for the ham one 01:49:10 there are quite a few of ambassadors that are radio buffs 01:49:22 oh trust me I know 01:49:39 lol he talk your ear has he? 01:49:46 meh, I'm getting off topic.... I would hope for something cool, tangible, that people could actually use. A live HAM station would be cool. 01:50:26 not hard to setup one the qso tho might be if a lack of ambassadors/hams tho 01:50:39 Does fedora have HAM software? 01:50:49 yes 01:50:53 lots 01:51:15 kk4ewt was actually thinking of a ham spin might have the ks still 01:51:48 who corey84, using a q signal, brings back my old military days in communications 01:52:17 Well there you go... thought I'm not sure about the legality of having random people broadcast. 01:52:29 I know licensing is easier 01:52:37 award3535, as a eaf specialist ( MOS 7011 USMC ) i knew more prc119 and satcom than the rest of the shop lol 01:52:50 they removed the morse requirement. 01:53:05 :( think that was retarded move imo 01:53:27 How many people use morse code these days 01:53:34 Yeah, my Dad has his license, and knew it. 01:53:47 I took the test and i needed to know morse code. 01:53:48 Corey84 USN Radioman, morse died in 1994 01:54:15 I used to send 32wpm and receive 28 01:54:22 award3535, still works in a pinch don't it 01:54:28 TTY was my specialty 01:54:29 nice 01:54:40 anyways, I'm been thinking a lot about promoing other spins and what it would look like to have them set up so people could walk up and experience them. 01:54:45 EHF and HF ship to shore 01:54:47 I believe there is a sugar app for hams but needs registration like 2m alerts 01:55:35 There are like 9 spins (that aren't just different desktops) to pull from. 01:56:11 But I think it might be cool to document/pull ideas together so other people could duplicate it. 01:56:38 Not sure what that would look like, but that's why it's an idea. =) 01:57:28 ParadoxGuitarist, that is a fantastic idea and would love to put a few together 01:58:01 http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4087 01:58:13 ok folks we are about out of time..... 01:58:19 APRS-XO is a tiny APRS implementation for the XO computer. Amateur radio license required. 01:59:13 also maybe (assuming multiple machines available ) do side by side of spins maybe 01:59:21 I would like to create a spin that teaches kids to program. 01:59:29 Good meeting everyone 01:59:40 I agree this has been a great meeting 02:00:04 wrnash that too is a great idea, could help some of old guys too 02:00:38 ok everyone, have a great evening, and see you all next week 02:00:45 See you next week. 02:00:50 award3535, im down to help on both the ParadoxGuitarist idea and yours wrnash 02:01:15 Let me do some research on it 02:01:33 corey84 by all means contact each of them to see what you can come up with 02:01:37 award3535, ill check with my leasing office and email any changes /updates and hopefully knock out some ambas. work with you this weekend 02:02:24 corey84 no worries, look forward to hearing from you. 02:02:24 #endmeeting
