It should likely be relatively cheap 01:29:40 ok, but if I go I would, because of the travel distance, I am in the very SE corner of Georgia in fact 3 miles from the Florida border 01:29:49 Mmhm, yeah 01:30:18 There should be buses going at least to Virgia Tech I'd assume, but we will definitely need some transportation for you 01:30:24 none the less create the required items and put the ticket in for meeting status. 01:30:28 Yup 01:30:37 Will create a ticket and create event pages 01:31:41 also dont forget I would have to take time off from work to accommodate this event as well as OLF and Fossetcon I will check my schedule 01:32:00 Is the bus a city bus or Greyhound? 01:33:08 wrnash, they charter buses 01:33:17 ok thanks 01:33:26 award3535, okay, please follow up 01:35:08 Cydrobolt, will do 01:35:32 * kk4ewt 01:35:41 evening kk4ewt 01:35:50 #chair kk4ewt 01:35:50 Current chairs: Cydrobolt award3535 kk4ewt wrnash 01:36:26 when is tlf? 01:36:44 kk4ewt not much going on tonight August 21 01:37:10 so do i need to ship anything 01:37:49 we have the travel/lodging part approved and I have no clue on what masta has already arranged for, only that I am bringing Tshirts 01:38:59 i think he may have centrals box 01:39:10 and have the banners 01:39:21 I 01:40:46 award3535, i am hoping you can look at the central box and see if we need anything for it 01:41:09 I looked in the way of what was requested but saw nothing, so I have been waiting for his email, and yes I will take a look at the central box 01:42:39 Hmmm 01:42:46 in fact I put the ticket in for media and I am waiting to find out where to ship them 01:42:55 award3535, just messaged MHacks again 01:43:18 we are apparently limited to 2 people at the event "at a time" if we choose the smaller tier 01:44:15 what do you think? will that be enough, or will the UM student be joining us? 01:44:52 Cydrobolt, then I would recommend that my student ambassador attend the event I will get in touch with him and get him finished He would be a perfect candidate for this event as well as you are 01:45:20 Cool, that sounds great. Put me in touch with him whenever it is possible, and we can coordinate the booth. 01:45:31 * masta looks in 01:45:34 Will create tickets and such, can bring it up next meeting 01:45:58 award3535: I have no swag, so I'll get a ticket going real soon 01:46:15 #chair masta 01:46:16 Current chairs: Cydrobolt award3535 kk4ewt masta wrnash 01:46:24 kk4ewt: I don't have the central box, Nick got that back. 01:46:54 masta I have started the media request ticket but have no address to ship to 01:47:01 award3535: so RH seems to have their own booth now, so we are pretty much set for the silver level I guess 01:47:37 award3535: ok 01:48:19 masta then we should get things rolling for that level 01:50:45 award3535: seems reasonable 01:51:05 masta do you still have the email contact I sent you for the booth 01:51:43 yes 01:51:54 we should see if they can bring the price down some, 3.5K is steep for a booth, unless we can get it as non profit 01:52:10 you may want to call and see what we can get 01:52:49 sure 01:52:56 I'll call them in the morning 01:53:07 masta TY 01:55:07 anyone have anything else 01:55:13 kk4ewt any meaningful results from the schedule survey? 01:56:38 juggler someone else was suppose to send it out 01:57:30 as mentioned previously, i did :) 01:57:48 never saw it on the email list 01:57:53 I got nothing either 01:58:24 are you still having issues with the mailing list juggler 01:58:31 yup 01:58:59 you can always forward it to one of us and we can send it out 01:59:03 here's the original survey link, compliments of kk4ewt: http://doodle.com/xpbbcuuk7a3xk6x7 01:59:45 i'll send you a copy of the original e-mail award 01:59:55 i swear i'm not making this up, honest :) 02:00:04 not a lot of folks took the survey 02:01:07 ok folks we are out of time, an last minute items but go quick 02:01:23 it's on its way. should be in your inbox 02:01:35 (to award3535) 02:01:39 ok thanks will get it out in the morning.... 02:02:11 have a good evening all 02:02:14 #endmeeting
