:) 01:15:29 I just tried to PM cydrobolt 01:15:39 hey 01:15:45 I'm back, sorry for the delay 01:16:01 no prob...glad you're ok 01:16:04 Cydrobolt, you need to make your pitch 01:16:04 so MHacks confirmed a 2k sponsorship for a half table around two weeks ago 01:16:36 However, I incorrectly thought at first that they would provising busing 01:16:56 so I would not get free transportation to the event 01:17:30 In brief, for those who are unaware, MHacks is a hackathon/developer event where many student developers from around the country gather and work on projects over a weekend 01:17:42 It's going to be a 1000 person overnight event 01:18:29 I have a couple concerns in regards to transportation 01:19:25 what concerns 01:19:30 Since they were able to confirm to me that no free charter buses would be provided, it means that I would have to take a flight from Philadelphia to Detroit, which might be costly 01:20:50 So probably around $2500 01:20:57 No, it'll be around $400 01:21:06 total though 01:21:10 Yeah :/ 01:21:21 and that was my concern was cost for one person could be more that what ruth will approve 01:21:29 Yeah 01:21:49 so I think we might be better off deferring this event and looking for another one closer by in the fall 01:22:12 I'm not sure if I'm willing to do a $400 down payment either since I was never reimbursed before 01:22:12 might train a feasible option? 01:22:15 be a 01:22:21 remember anything over 1K requires RH approval and right now the person filling in is tough 01:22:37 yes 01:22:45 juggler, I'm not sure if a train would work 01:23:07 are there more events later on this year that are closer 01:23:07 perhaps it might be good to choose a closer event later on 01:23:11 ah...just throwing an idea out there... 01:23:15 award3535, yeah, likely so, but smaller events 01:23:36 Fosscon is also around the corner kk4ewt is attending 01:23:44 smaller is also good 01:23:47 yeah, I was planning to attend but might be unable to do so 01:24:10 no event is too small that represents Fedora 01:24:27 mhm 01:24:34 HackRU was a pretty successful event 01:24:46 and costly for a booth 01:24:46 we could reconsider it this year 01:24:51 hmm 01:25:04 for only two people 01:25:13 award3535, are you speaking of MHacks? 01:25:17 yes 01:25:28 for only two days.. 01:25:50 it's an overnight event...but I think we might be good with deferring to another closer event 01:25:54 HackRU is where you got your start, is the schedule out yet 01:26:17 award3535, it's happening Oct 3 - 4 01:27:01 More feasible, create a ticket and we can go from there, I will be in Ohio during that time for OLF 01:27:07 I'll look for more local events, as it's usually beneficial to sponsor different events rather than the same event multiple times (when it comes to hackathons, since people usually attend events that are close) 01:27:20 award3535, will do, going to look into it 01:27:55 so should we defer the MHacks to next year? 01:28:24 Yeah, I think we can reconsider MHacks, HackTheNorth, and PennApps again next winter (they happen each fall and winter) 01:28:44 ok I will change the ticket 01:28:44 having more time will allow better negotiation and planning 01:29:59 ok moving on... 01:30:01 #topic == Open Floor === 01:30:09 the gate is open.... 01:30:29 Texas Linux Fest 2015. 01:30:38 I can only make it on sat. 01:30:59 I will order my tickets tomorrow after noon for me and my wife to attend. 01:31:01 I will not be going, trying to get nb to send me a shipping document 01:31:32 Is there a shirt we need to wear.
