The better numbers we have, the better the liklihood that we can improve our budget situation next year (and spend our loot more wisely, and make a bigger impact too) 01:24:05 * decause is planning to go to SELF. Do I need to register? 01:24:09 is CFP still open? 01:24:28 * decause has this on his radar because of ambassadors 01:24:42 decause, I think you should register, you are listed to go 01:25:02 decause what do you mean 01:25:03 kk 01:25:14 #action decause register for SELF 01:25:48 award3535: I mean, this event wasn't in my plans until you folks brought it up and I was like "oh yeah, I'm in the South East now :P" 01:26:06 hehe 01:26:33 ok cool, your of course are always welcome to any event 01:27:50 coolies 01:27:54 .famnaticket 148 01:27:55 award3535: #148 (TXLF 2016 (Austin, TX - July 8th-9th)) – FAmNA Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/148 01:28:03 * masta takes the floor 01:28:15 ok folks, look at this ticket real quick 01:28:51 * juggler looks 01:28:57 ? http://www.southeastlinuxfest.org/?page_id=30 01:28:58 I want to sponsor TXLF at the silver level. 01:29:36 SELF registration is not yet ready? 01:29:39 is that right? 01:29:43 sorry, realize this is noisey 01:29:47 yes 01:29:55 your are correct 01:29:56 award3535: ok, I'll have to check back later 01:29:58 Fedora has sponsored this even a while now, and this year we probably have to downgrade a bit due to budget uncertainty 01:30:04 * decause sits back down 01:30:19 masta: I think this is probably a good idea 01:30:20 masta that is a little pricey 01:30:29 silver at 3.5k 01:30:35 that's pricey, yeah 01:30:55 we shut down another event that was that same price 01:30:57 so like, in the past inode0 and I would budget this at gold level, but now-days gold level price increased, and FAmNA budget decrease... 01:31:33 masta you may want to see if prior attendance and educational areas are cheaper 01:31:41 so that silver 3.5 is like the gold level a short year or two ago.... 01:31:51 masta I remember 01:31:54 Get RH to sponsor Diamond, and we take 1/4 of their booth? 01:32:25 I did the one in San Antonio that was 1.5k for silver 01:32:28 danofsatx, well... last year they wanted to share *our* booth because their timing/budget was all jacked up 01:32:42 tell them to pay for it then ;) 01:32:46 I'd appreciate if we can do silver 01:33:14 but it's something I can only try to be persuasive, call a vote, etc... 01:33:17 def find out how much they want for community table pricing 01:33:25 okay 01:33:34 generally speaking 01:33:48 we need to make sure that we're repping 01:34:01 this is important, to make sure folks know Fedora is participating 01:34:08 well this event has sustained grown year over year 01:34:18 s/grown/growth/ 01:34:35 it's in the 1,500 attendee realm 01:34:51 masta: I'm going to defer to the local ambassadors for your decision on the places you want to focus on for sure. I believe you when you say it, you know best. 01:35:33 I do know that in general, we're trying to encourage ambassadors to invest more outside of our linux-y conference bubbles, and try to go into more small meetup-y kind of things 01:35:41 TXLF is growing. Last year's was impacted due to timing and location - it was "Move in" Weekend in the small town that hosts Texas State Uni 01:35:51 I'm not saying don't do it 01:36:01 Now that it's back in Austin, I think we'll hit at least 2k this year. 01:36:01 I'm saying if we can get away with bronze and get the same experience, we should try 01:36:23 we can talk with piggy-backing on RHT booth, assuming RHT sponsors, def 01:36:24 Although, July 8-9 is a rough time to be in Austin 01:36:29 masta, please check into getting repeat attendance discounts, etc... 01:36:31 a bit of metadate, the event is organized by the same folks that do the southern California expo... they seem keen to keep growing this event in Texas 01:36:31 I want to stretch the dollars as best as we can :) 01:37:02 ok folks, I'll come back with more facts and data point, and a sales pitch to wow you next meeting. 01:37:06 I agree with decause, more bang for the buck 01:37:50 masta: even if we cannot get a reduced admission, that is fine, it's just we gotta really show impact from it so that there will be *zero* questions next year 01:38:27 well... inode0 taught me that in some cases Fedora should sponsor certain events... to foster them... this is one of those we have cultivated.. at some point.. I agree we shoudl cut back a bit 01:38:35 how about InnoTech conferences? http://www.innotechconferences.com/ 01:39:18 masta: I def agree that in some ways, our Friends foundation is what we are putting on display here when we sponsor community events. We are a Friend of FOSS across the board 01:39:35 when we can support new events, that is good for us 01:39:48 #action Masta to investigate community pricing for TXLF 01:40:00 oh, should that be a dot in front? 01:40:01 it sounds like if we were -2K on our dollars though, that it probably wouldn't be the difference on whether or not SELF happens 01:40:23 if it would be a huge black-eye for us, because we're tight with the organizers though, that is something to consider 01:40:38 I'm *all* about making informed decisions, I just wanna make sure we have as much info as possible 01:40:38 yeah... 01:41:12 masta: I will support whatever FAMNA wants to do with it, and fight as hard as I can with the data I have to justify these spends when budget comes around next year 01:41:23 keep me posted 01:41:26 brb 01:41:30 will do 01:42:37 even if we do a community type booth, we should still consider something to help sponsor the event.. say 1k or whatever 01:42:38 masta, good job, keep plugging away, I happen to like the TXLF events 01:43:04 I would like to attend if the budget supports 01:43:21 I was trying to do a correlation between events and downloads 01:43:23 award3535, that would be great! 01:43:33 what ever you can put together we can look at 01:43:46 ok EOF 01:44:10 ok moving on 01:44:11 #topic == Open Floor === 01:45:04 woo - open floor 01:45:09 yeah! 01:45:15 * masta disco dances on the open floor 01:45:26 Just as a side note, decause and I have to work out some details with the Card holder stuff, and once the kinks are out I think that reimbursments and other things will get done much quicker 01:46:14 I was wondering if there might be interest in a possible visibility at Defcon 2016... 01:46:20 Is that a suitable event? 01:46:32 Defcon? 01:46:46 is that Defense Convention? 01:46:49 https://www.defcon.org/ 01:46:58 defcon would be great, but not if it's crazy expensive 01:47:09 Defcon ain't cheap. And the Security Spin needs to be a /lot/ more polished to be represented there. 01:47:24 * masta nods 01:47:38 defcon is akin to the blackhat convention 01:48:02 Try to go to more small meetup-y kind of things ??? 01:48:02 so a bunch of white hats? 01:48:08 lol 01:48:14 we had to skip funding OSCON this year, because crazy expensive... but we managed to share with our friends at RH... maybe we can do that for defon 01:48:16 defcon is a BFD security conference 01:48:34 BFD - Big Freaking Deal? 01:48:58 award3535, hey technically I got a card too, but I'm keen to pay the expenses via the community process (report, recipts, etc) 01:49:23 juggler: yes, close ;) 01:49:23 award3535, it will be great once we get you setup propeerly 01:49:35 decause I get it heh 01:49:39 award3535, you being the budget master 01:49:41 masta you are correct, no more wading through the mud 01:50:32 award3535, the big bummer is the ceiling spending limit 01:50:35 * decause will be helping award3535 too 01:50:59 sometimes swag purchase requires a purchase order from our benefactor 01:51:28 we need new swag badly! 01:51:33 most cards have a spending limit, but my purpose would be to pay for lodging, travel, etc.... anything less than 1k 01:51:34 so from the sound of things, is Defcon not of interest, or is it worth researching further? 01:52:12 juggler, see if Fedora can get in cheap. 01:52:13 hey Mark 01:52:20 juggler, you can look into it, remember what decause said, bang for the buck 01:52:31 masta: cheap is < $1,500 ? 01:52:43 Hey juggler 01:52:50 juggler, just work on establishing the facts for now 01:52:54 defcon is summer time, yeah? 01:52:59 usually Julyish 01:53:15 August this year, I believe 01:53:15 and you need to look at cost of other things for ambassadors, shipping, attendance.... 01:53:27 and where juggler 01:53:36 juggler, I'm keen to support a defcon presence 01:54:02 also, I hear that there is no pre-reg and payment to get in is cash-only. provided they provide a receipt, is that a showstopper? 01:54:20 potential showstopper i mean 01:54:34 award: las vegas I think 01:54:54 yes, prepay is a show stopper especially cash 01:54:54 it's always in Vegas 01:54:54 they say that about 20k ppl show for this 01:55:06 hum... cash only... that is kinda anti-audit trail... seems weird 01:55:26 Fits the bill 01:55:31 masta: I'm glad to not give my credit card numbers to the blackhats ;) 01:55:35 The no trail thing :D 01:55:36 even though receipt is given, masta is right 01:55:43 I mean it fits for that event, but how do any sponsors get to that event in those circumstances 01:55:53 *shrug* 01:56:02 DefCon is the kind of conference that I would buy a burner phone, and a throwaway laptop, and never bring my actual anything keys to 01:56:16 honestly, just a pad of paper really ;) 01:56:19 decause++ 01:56:19 danofsatx: Karma for decause changed to 44 (for the f23 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 01:56:20 we may want to steer away from this one 01:56:24 * decause has always wanted to go 01:56:28 Its our presence there, and deliverable is more reports back, and learning that can be shared in our context. 01:56:29 decause is a pad of paper safe? lol 01:56:37 juggler: mostly, I'm sure there's an exploit 01:57:11 I think it would be worth trying 01:57:28 I really think it would 01:57:38 agree with Mark...finding out what the Defcon community's needs are for Fedora could be beneficial 01:57:42 here is my point of view, does Fedora want to be associated with a bunch of Black hats? 01:57:46 masta: that does fit the bill of "places outside of our typical bubble" 01:57:49 it would def be interesting. 01:57:51 find out how much 01:57:53 Paper has exploits too, just sayin'. We gotta keep in touch with security issues, this is part of coin 01:58:02 we know some defcon organizer types 01:58:07 we can see if they'll do us a solid too 01:58:13 we'll see 01:58:18 Kali Linux is quite prevalent. Our Security Spin is trying to compete with Kali. 01:58:21 the more info we're armed with, the better 01:58:22 yeah, some organizers I know are ethical hackers 01:58:32 or so they say ;) 01:58:33 * decause is *always* willing to at least ask 01:58:34 juggler, let me know if you need any help evangelizing this event for next meeting 01:58:57 juggler, would be great to have persuasive talking point to support it 01:59:01 I think we should be careful with this one 01:59:10 masta: +1 01:59:10 juggler, lets work on that in the next week 01:59:12 masta if this gets off the ground, I may just ask you to be the event organizer :) 01:59:20 if you like crypto, here is something that is exciting for F24: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_M0YEE-esA&feature=youtu.be&t=40 01:59:32 With caution of course :) 01:59:37 award3535 we always try to be. :) 01:59:41 I talked with nmccallum today, very interesting next level crypto things 01:59:48 clevis and tang 02:00:00 F24 is when it should land 02:00:04 masta sounds good...thx 02:00:22 * decause has prolly gotta bounce shortly 02:00:26 you folks need anythign from me? 02:00:37 juggler, plz see me after the meeting, if you have time 02:00:40 decause give me a call at work 02:00:47 award3535: ok, what time? 02:01:26 I will be there in the morning from 0615 to about 1130, then I am out in the field (field tech) and that is eastern time 02:01:39 +1 for freeing decause :D 02:01:41 masta i gotta bounce to my next meeting, sorry. 02:01:51 award3535: kk, so, should I call around 10ish or so then? 02:01:56 masta, juggler - take it to ambassadors?
