Planning, and coordination is the key 01:19:37 <ParadoxGuitarist> This is a sore spot for me. 01:19:42 <award3535> I got a call from some of the project folks that had some questions on the shipping costs. there were some problems earlier last month 01:20:12 <award3535> sometimes it cant be avoided 01:20:41 <ParadoxGuitarist> Like when we have back to back events on opposite sides of the country? 01:21:46 <award3535> I dont have all the details but, there was one that was sent that could have avoided the cost, back to back didnt even cross the radar, but some of the issues were on the east coast 01:23:04 <award3535> I do not have the ability to see the costs until it becomes an issue, so far we have done well, but the situation will fix itself 01:23:49 <ParadoxGuitarist> <- has no ideas of what costs actually are since I don't have a shipping account. 01:24:23 * ParadoxGuitarist thinks it's a bit crazy to be the shipping point for the west coast but can't print out shipping lables. 01:24:38 <award3535> same here, that is why I had no idea until I got the call. I only ask for labels 01:25:17 <award3535> I know the shippers in the mid and east, I do not know who does that on the west coast 01:25:43 <ParadoxGuitarist> I'm the shipping point, but I have to get labels from vwbusguy. 01:26:23 <award3535> vwbusguy then is the shipper for the west, he sees the charges. 01:26:59 <ParadoxGuitarist> Yeah, but I'm the one holding all the stuff, getting it together and actually shipping it. 01:27:49 <award3535> by no way am I pointing any one out, but we as ambassadors need to ensure we are doing everything to avoid the overnight and rushed shippments 01:28:39 <award3535> ParadoxGuitarist I am in the same position with some items on the east coast since I handle everything from Ohio to florida. 01:29:21 <ParadoxGuitarist> Well, for sure I asked for at least two of those. Had to do with getting banners for events, One of which arrived late, and we couldn't use because the booth was already set up. 01:29:50 <ParadoxGuitarist> Part of fixing that issue would be to have a banner and tablecloth for every event box. 01:30:50 <award3535> no problem, and I agree, kk4ewt is working on some quotes for new ones to be placed in every box. We have discussed this many times over the past year 01:31:20 <ParadoxGuitarist> sorry, I said it was a sore spot. /rant. 01:31:54 <award3535> no that is good we discuss this, we all can benefit and improve 01:32:19 <award3535> this all goes right back to good communications 01:32:45 <award3535> I can feed this up even higher if needed 01:33:34 <award3535> I think that our project leader likes me to bend his ear every once in a while 01:33:49 <ParadoxGuitarist> Yeah, I'm just frustrated about trying to coordinate stuff. 01:34:15 <award3535> It goes in cycles, some good and some bad 01:34:35 <ParadoxGuitarist> The last 3 events I've been at has been missing at least one thing that didn't get shipped. 01:35:21 <ParadoxGuitarist> It's not helpful that we're all volunteers either. 01:36:14 <award3535> some of the volunteers are dual roling the system that also adds a lot of problems. 01:37:23 <award3535> but when you get the right folks in the right place things run better, since I have been involved on the east coast i can push some things but it hasnt been easy 01:37:56 <ParadoxGuitarist> Yeah, we're probably going to need to re-think how we do "event boxes" and swag for events. 01:38:09 <award3535> Also some folks have moved on 01:38:58 <award3535> that we could put on the table for meetings 01:39:47 <award3535> we are supposed to have one box/banners for each of the regions 01:39:54 <award3535> west mid and east 01:40:19 <ParadoxGuitarist> yeah, that needs to be redone 01:40:44 <ParadoxGuitarist> The banners are getting to be outdated as well. Plus I find it weird that there's two of them. 01:41:15 <award3535> put some thought into that and I will create a ticket for meetings 01:41:41 <award3535> then we can add to the ticket and discuss here for the record 01:43:24 <ParadoxGuitarist> yeah 01:43:58 <award3535> writing ticket now 01:45:10 <ParadoxGuitarist> I'm going to email my report to the list soon, with a link to that video. 01:45:28 <award3535> that is fantastic 01:45:35 <award3535> I cant wait to see it 01:46:31 <ParadoxGuitarist> But I need to send in something for reimbursement, who does that get sent to? The stuff I found on the wiki seemed depreciated. 01:46:50 <award3535> ok, I link to follow 01:48:17 <award3535> Paradoxguitarist https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/report/1 01:48:43 <award3535> ensure you have copies of receipts and the report links included 01:49:10 <award3535> as well as the event page closed out with reports 01:49:52 <ParadoxGuitarist> Hm, the little hole in the wall motel I stayed at didn't give a recepit... should I try to contact them or provide a bank statement? 01:51:35 <award3535> bank statement will do fine but they prefer the hotel receipt, they should be able to email you one 01:52:04 <ParadoxGuitarist> ok 01:52:24 <ParadoxGuitarist> hmmm 01:52:30 <award3535> if you use the bank statement just make sure you let them know you didnt get a receipt from the hotel 01:52:39 <ParadoxGuitarist> Is FAS down as well as the fedoramagazine site? 01:52:58 <award3535> I think so, it wouldnt let me on 01:53:00 <ParadoxGuitarist> I will, thanks award3535. 01:53:23 <award3535> ok, until next week time to call it a night 01:53:52 <award3535> #endmeeting
