I really like this idea. 02:18:42 I am currently working on the ground rules, that will be easy to understand and be available to everyone for review 02:18:48 we dont know if it will work until we try it 02:19:00 * cprofitt nods 02:19:12 thank you for working on it award3535 02:19:15 * juggler agrees 02:19:30 jflory7 and I have been throwing some ideas around with some input from bex 02:20:08 I also will need to identify who will chair the west coast meeting as primary, then one as secondary 02:21:34 so, I would like to see juggler chair since he seems to be the most active on the west coast 02:21:52 this is something that the west coast needs to think about. 02:22:16 I think I could volunteer as a secondary, since of my later meeting departures. I don't want to leave the meetings so soon. 02:22:17 for us on the east coast, I will continue to chair the meetings for us 02:22:47 juggler, remember that you guys on the west coast will set your meeting time and dates 02:23:06 oh, we can? nice! 02:24:14 yes, that is the purpose of having one on your coast set at your time and date, but you would have to send it out to the mailing list so those of us on the east coast who desire to attend will know what time your meeting is 02:24:31 that will be part of the ground rules we set 02:24:40 sounds workable 02:25:14 thats the purpose of us doing that so that we can all have participation with all that can attend 02:25:50 there will be more in the next few weeks on this put out 02:26:20 .famnaticket 191 02:26:21 thanks 02:26:21 award3535: Issue #191: Fedora Event: SCaLE 16x - Pasadena, CA - tasks - Pagure - https://pagure.io/ambassadors-na/tasks/issue/191 02:26:46 juggler, this is your event and we still have time but glad to see that you are starting now 02:27:16 I figured what with the bi-weekly stretches, better to start soon! 02:27:23 this budget actually falls in FY19 for Fedora, but will have to come out of the FY18 cycle 02:27:52 I'm also waiting to hear back from other ambassadors regarding tentative availability 02:28:19 so things may be changing for that ticket/wiki 02:28:29 juggler also the event budget isnt as large because the event does not charge for booth space 02:28:37 I would like to ask, might it be possible to get Alejandro back pending availability? 02:28:58 and assuming he's still interested, of course. 02:29:20 juggler, that is and has been the standard, please contact him and see if he is available for the event 02:29:54 we will do our best! 02:30:17 juggler also please keep in mind that my credit card does not do currency exchange for his reimbursement, bex will have to complete his 02:30:28 also, if anybody could connect me with info how to set up badges...perhaps I can set up a badge for SCaLE maybe. 02:30:41 #chair reher 02:30:41 Current chairs: award3535 cprofitt juggler kk4ewt reher 02:30:45 hello reher 02:30:48 evening reher 02:31:05 apologies. at the office still, but able to join. 02:31:25 hello reher 02:31:37 glad you could join reher...no worries 02:31:48 award3535, juggler, cprofitt, hello to all. 02:31:59 reher, you can catch up on the logs, we just finished with the meeting ticket and now are discussing Scale ticket 191 02:32:11 will do. 02:32:30 btw award, Paradox or I might be coordinating swag and supply ticket separately. Paradox advised me he is running low on things. 02:33:48 juggler, keep in mind that the swag will require a lot of quotes and best pricing available and it is a lot of work 02:34:29 uh oh, perhaps I should defer that to Paradox since he is versed on that ordering.. 02:34:46 I do know he is busy though, so I will help where I can. 02:34:51 jasoncallaway are you there? 02:35:18 I saw his earlier login. is jason == Tom or != Tom 02:35:39 its jason, new ambassador that nb brought in 02:36:17 cool 02:36:29 juggler, I will look forward to seeing this ticket progress and dont hesitate to email me if you have questions 02:36:46 I think that's it for me on that ticket.
