I've sent out a request to find out how much a table costs, if anything: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-north-america 01:12:11 PG here is the note from last week that was a significant change 01:12:15 9:06:29 PM - award3535: 9:02:39 PM - award3535: #info Fedora Council wiki page development requirement 01:12:15 9:06:29 PM - award3535: 9:02:39 PM - award3535: What - what the event is and what its all about 01:12:15 9:06:29 PM - award3535: 9:02:39 PM - award3535: Where - Where the event is located to include lodging availability if applicable 01:12:15 9:06:29 PM - award3535: 9:02:39 PM - award3535: When - Dates of the event, schedule of events to include time frames 01:12:15 9:06:29 PM - award3535: 9:02:39 PM - award3535: Who - List of Fedora attendees, major guest speakers and sponsors 01:12:15 9:06:29 PM - award3535: 9:02:39 PM - award3535: Why - Give a general or specific reason why Fedora is making an appearance at the event or conference 01:12:15 9:06:29 PM - award3535: 9:03:16 PM - award3535: the 5 W's must be on every wiki that we create for events or conferences 01:12:54 https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2017-04-14/famna.2017-04-14-00.58.log.html 01:12:57 That's fine 01:13:23 juggler, I will caution on the event cost, since right now we only have 4.5K for each quarter 01:13:39 and we already exceeded that for Q1 01:14:05 SELF and OLF are the next events that will take up the rest of the budget for Q2 01:14:51 open source summit would be one to approach big daddy about sharing a booth with 01:15:05 West coast doesn't have anything til SCaLE again typically. 01:15:06 like OSCON 01:15:10 hm, should I not bother then? 01:15:28 It wouldn't surprise me if Linux Foundation let us come for free. 01:15:45 So costs would just be lodging as it's near LAX. 01:16:08 juggler, usually the non profit edu stuff is very little if no costs for booths 01:16:50 and Fedora has a really good relationship with the linux foundation. 01:17:07 juggler, you can always ask...... 01:18:00 Clint Savage use to work for them. 01:18:01 yeah, I'll wait to hear back and then we can at least have some initial #s (if any) 01:20:21 We need USBs 01:20:31 #subject change. 01:20:38 hehe 01:21:36 PG, unless we can get RH to pay for them, we dont have the budget for it 01:21:49 Have we ordered F26 media yet? 01:22:05 I dont even think we are going to even have money for media. 01:22:23 What's our current budget? 01:22:31 4.5K per quarter 01:22:48 so 18k total? 01:23:25 so fare yes, 18K thats 11K less than last year 01:23:51 How much do we usually spend on media? 900? 01:24:03 a year 5.1K 01:24:19 two distros at 2.5K 01:24:33 plus shipping 01:25:18 If we're not sure we can afford that over the course of this year, then let's hold off on the F26 purchase 01:25:19 I will need to put in the request we need the increase for media production 01:25:43 I'll follow up with my contact at RH about the USB drives 01:26:01 Since those will never go to waste 01:26:18 Also: I had an idea, but I don't know if it's cost affective. 01:26:30 instead of printing, if we stuck a case badge on there. 01:26:34 we'd like to hear the idea.. 01:26:54 tbh it would probably last just as long as the screen print job. 01:27:17 What I see happening, we will decrease the media production and bring the media on hard drives to make and deliver media via usb or dvd's upon request 01:28:30 I think the council is steering us that way, or atleast the appearance of that, being more innovative towards the events 01:28:35 I know the cost is much higher, but it might save money in the end. 01:29:00 Also RH is all for us getting rid of DVD media 01:29:13 at least that was the sense I got from SCALE 01:29:56 that's all I got 01:29:57 I get the same feeling as well, and it does cut costs and waste 01:30:17 hopefully we'll get a more resilient media writer too. I was using it just this past weekend and it kept crashing on me. that was not fun.! 01:30:23 and people will keep them a lot longer than a DVD 01:32:22 I still have my F20 (I think) USB...might've been 18. 01:32:27 I have got a lot of comments at events that why do we still give out DVDs, and almost everyone is carrying some sort of USB with multiple ISOs copied on it and they take it with them and make their own boot-able device 01:32:48 yep 01:33:34 I'll work on getting a quote 01:33:48 barring anything else, I need to go play with my kid 01:33:55 I think that we all saw this coming, but we can discuss this more in detail when I get a more firm answer on budget 01:33:57 he's literally jumping all over me. 01:34:08 hehe, fair enough PG 01:34:18 nite all 01:34:20 good meeting 01:34:23 short and sweet 01:34:24 nite 01:34:32 see pm 01:34:38 (last msg to PG) 01:34:46 woops oh well! 01:35:13 Thank you all for showing up, Our next meeting is Apr 27 2100 east see you all then 01:35:16 #endmeeting
