I reduced the cost down... 02:22:18 <steelaworkn> to 600 bucks 02:22:26 <paradoxguitarist> +1 for me. Travel and shipping are pretty cheap to support an event. 02:22:39 <steelaworkn> so we will be way under budget 02:22:47 <paradoxguitarist> the swag line should not be included 02:22:57 <award3535> yes, we need to speak about budget, and that it was reworked to fit the mindshare guide 02:22:59 <paradoxguitarist> since we're not ordering swag for this event. 02:23:32 <steelaworkn> just a little bit will do if anyone can spar a bit 02:23:32 <award3535> Swag was ordered centrally and will be from now on by the mindshare committee conops 02:23:36 <paradoxguitarist> I'm just shipping you what I have right steelaworkn ?

02:24:50 <paradoxguitarist> award3535: so they're shipping swag for the event or still shipping out to regional areas? 02:24:58 <award3535> so since we already have a +1 from PG, you have one from me as well 02:25:12 <paradoxguitarist> +1 from nb in the ticket comments 02:25:24 <steelaworkn> I saw that... 02:25:25 <juggler[m]> +1 02:25:37 <award3535> paradoxguitarist, from what I was told that swag will also be shipped from a central location 02:26:01 <paradoxguitarist> award3535: Should we ship the event boxes there as well? 02:26:05 <award3535> regions are essentially going away other than for meetings in the time zones 02:26:30 <award3535> paradoxguitarist until otherwise told yes, ship the event box 02:27:12 <paradoxguitarist> I mean, should we ship the event boxes to the central location where the swag will be? 02:27:28 <steelaworkn> so, can the event box be sent to my address? 02:27:43 <paradoxguitarist> Yes 02:27:45 <award3535> paradoxguitarist not yet, keep the box until otherwise told 02:27:49 <paradoxguitarist> ok 02:28:04 <award3535> but you will need to ship the box to LFNW 02:28:20 <juggler[m]> you = ? 02:28:28 <paradoxguitarist> Is mindshare going to ship swag, or do I need to send what I have? 02:28:48 <paradoxguitarist> juggler[m]: the answer will depend on who. 02:29:28 <juggler[m]> ah 02:30:09 <juggler[m]> any additional info on 192? 02:30:19 <juggler[m]> or recommended actions for 192? 02:30:23 <award3535> paradoxguitarist, mindshare will not begin until everything is approved and after 1 Jun, 02:30:24 <steelaworkn> I didnt' realize sending Fedora stuff to an event was the norm.. 02:30:38 <paradoxguitarist> actually, can I can ship you a box of swag juggler with print outs of the shipping lables and you ship them to steelaworkn ? 02:30:40 <steelaworkn> I thought I would have to haul it 02:30:56 <paradoxguitarist> you would just drop it off at a UPS. 02:31:04 <award3535> steelaworkn its up to you if you want to haul the box or not 02:31:08 <juggler[m]> Paradox sounds good 02:31:28 <paradoxguitarist> Ok, I'll get that done this week. 02:31:41 <paradoxguitarist> steelaworkn: is that ok with you?
