18:38:46 seems ok, how ever we need to add more information the talks and hack labs them self 18:38:59 igorps, specially for the press 18:39:23 aeperezt: you mean an abstract describing the contents of the talks/. 18:39:25 ? 18:39:43 I'm holding information to a local news paper that wants to cover the event and get an article one month before the event 18:40:09 dMaggot, right 18:40:20 aeperezt: Are there rooms names or numbers to put on the schedule? 18:40:54 nope, yeat 18:41:58 dMaggot, my friend from La Prensa wants to do her column on Fedora Fudcon so I need to feel some gaps, that will be free advertising and almost a full page add 18:42:15 #info We should get abstracts about the talks for press and promotion 18:42:42 I'm afraid abstracts will clutter the wiki page, which is already full of info 18:42:55 dMaggot: for sure 18:43:00 maybe having those apart would be better 18:43:00 dMaggot, also I was thinking that we may get her in contact with jsmith so he do the interview, that will be better than me I guess 18:43:22 we can identify a few key talks and ask the owner to send it to aeperezt 18:43:28 aeperezt: you mean a written interview we send to jsmith? or a podcast or what? 18:43:42 igorps: that sounds good, who's picking the key talks? 18:43:59 I can volunteer on making the contacts and compiling the info 18:44:15 dMaggot: I'd like the Panamanian team to define what they are 18:44:22 igorps, that is what we need the key ones the ones that may drive more people for instance geek_cl spacewalk and 389 talks plus others 18:44:32 igorps: fine, I'll sit with aeperezt and see that then 18:44:57 dMaggot, I think and email interview can be posible wha do you think will drive more attention? 18:45:03 dMaggot, aeperezt: I'm happy to do an interview 18:45:04 We have good talks coming from Toshio and Kanarip too 18:45:20 #action dMaggot and aeperezt will check the list of talks, select key talks and ask for abstracts about them from the owners 18:45:52 sound good to me 18:46:15 I will send an email to the mailing lists in order to people register their talks on the wiki 18:46:31 so we can have a better landscape of the topics 18:46:51 jsmith, will send your email account to her so she can ask you the questions, but keep room so she can Interview you better when you are here 18:47:14 aeperezt: Sounds great! 18:47:20 Me parece muy bien :-) 18:47:34 jsmith, and the interview should be about fudcon and latam or fedora in general, think we should focus on Fudcon and Latam 18:47:36 igorps: one way I think we can get visibility of the abstracts without cluttering the wiki page is through trac tickets for the key talks 18:48:12 dMaggot, what do you think, jsmith will drive better attraction to the fudcon with and interview on La Prensa? 18:48:22 dMaggot: Do you mean by creating tickets for key talks? 18:48:26 igorps: yes 18:48:46 dMaggot: That would be great 18:49:19 aeperezt: yes, as long as it is correctly focused... so I'm thinking if we should be writing the interview questions or if we should let the journalist do those 18:49:22 dMaggot, yes ticket entries with key talks info sounds good 18:49:49 #idea Create track tickets with abstracts for keynotes 18:49:59 dMaggot, that is what I'm thinking focused on fudcon latam and panama 18:50:26 #idea After creating the tickets for keynotes, link the wiki entries to those tickets to have the abstracts publicly available 18:50:54 We also need to add some information on the wiki about the living room availability at the villas 18:51:11 aeperezt: yes, I think we should be writing the questions up, communicationg those to the journalist to get agreement, sending those to jsmith and letting him reply directly to her 18:51:15 I will talk to her first so we set this up and the interview can be on the paper for april 24 just one month before the fudcon 18:51:52 dMaggot, not sure she will like that but we can try 18:52:03 #action aeperezt to contact the press for an interview with jsmith 18:52:31 aeperezt: ok, we can define the method tonight and let jsmith know 18:52:41 Sounds great 18:52:53 jsmith, thanks 18:53:06 jsmith: we'll make you famous :) 18:53:11 dMaggot, great idea 18:53:17 :) 18:53:21 * jsmith doesn't care about fame -- he just cares about Fedora 18:54:14 dMaggot, he is already famous, within fedora 18:54:48 Now he can be famous in whole Panama! :) 18:55:04 igorps, that is the goal 18:55:07 igorps: nvm, he said he's not interested, so I'll be impersonating him 18:55:23 lol 18:55:36 dMaggot: Hahaha fair enough! 18:55:55 anything else to add guys?
