(08:03:54 PM) ***inode0 puts djf_jeff's comment in the announcement section
(08:03:58 PM) inode0: Announcements

(08:05:27 PM) inode0: anyone want to say anything about SELF and the FAD?
(08:05:46 PM) VileGent: !
(08:05:51 PM) StabbyMc: I'm bummed I missed the FAD.  Hopefully it was
well received.
(08:06:19 PM) inode0: Go ahead VileGent
(08:06:25 PM) VileGent: self went great had about 500 people show up
and the east coast event box made its debut
(08:06:48 PM) ***inode0 thanks VileGent for making the east coast
event box happen
(08:06:58 PM) VileGent: case badge are a huge hit, tattooes are harder
to judge but we handed out about 300
(08:07:37 PM) VileGent: family situation i was unable to stay for the fad
(08:07:45 PM) VileGent: eof
(08:08:05 PM) VileGent: reports of mailing list
(08:08:09 PM) VileGent: on
(08:08:12 PM) inode0: the reports have been great for the FAD as well,
from an outsiders perspective it sounds like maybe the best FAD yet
(08:08:40 PM) inode0: until the next one :)
(08:08:58 PM) inode0: learning from previous FAD experiences should
make them continue to improve
(08:09:27 PM) inode0: Any other announcement type things?
(08:09:39 PM) inode0: Events
(08:09:50 PM) inode0: Let's begin with OLF
(08:09:59 PM) inode0: VileGent: take over and fill us in please
(08:11:22 PM) VileGent: OLF emailed the paperwork to jeffery tadlock
which in turn forwarded to several of us
(08:12:17 PM) VileGent: after some discussion it was the concenus that
we get the $75 table asap to get the free electric if possible
(08:12:33 PM) Grantbow_: Oromo Liberation Front?  that's the first
google hit :-)
(08:12:47 PM) VileGent: i filled the paperwork and emailed it to rob
ball today and got confirmation that i was recieved
(08:12:56 PM) nb: Ohio linux fest I think is what they said
(08:13:00 PM) nb: Something like that
(08:13:11 PM) VileGent: Ohio LinuxFest
(08:13:22 PM) inode0: that is the .org booth which is perfect for us
and what we've had the past three years apparently
(08:14:17 PM) inode0: first 12 .orgs are supposed to get free
electric, so hopefully we are one of them this year
(08:14:26 PM) VileGent: so at this point we have a table
(08:14:52 PM) ***inode0 again thanks VileGent for jumping all over OLF
before they were ready for him
(08:15:59 PM) inode0: so we'll hear more as it develops?
(08:16:30 PM) inode0: the following week is the central pennsylvania
open source conference
(08:17:00 PM) inode0: DemonJester, who likely can't be here tonight,
has contacted organizers there to arrange sponsorship again this year
(08:18:08 PM) VileGent: inode0,  as soon as i know something you will
(08:18:22 PM) inode0: I've confirmed a couple more details about the
Red Hat Summit
(08:19:01 PM) inode0: We have a confirmed booth now, and will very
soon begin signing up people to help staff it during the event
(08:19:51 PM) inode0: We have several new confirmed Fedora people attending
(08:20:29 PM) inode0: Red Hat is working with us to try to get Fedora
pre-installed shortly before the event on USB sticks to give everyone
at check-in
(08:21:29 PM) inode0: Anyone else have any event business to discuss?
(08:22:04 PM) inode0: Moving on to the budget ...
(08:22:10 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget
(08:22:44 PM) inode0: Would anyone volunteer to create a Q2 budget
worksheet for us?
(08:23:38 PM) inode0: 5 minutes of cut/paste/edit on the wiki
(08:23:43 PM) davdunc: I can do that.
(08:23:54 PM) ***inode0 thanks davdunc
(08:24:06 PM) davdunc: happy to help.
(08:24:09 PM) ***Grantbow_ cheers
(08:24:12 PM) inode0: we started spending before we had a place to record it :)
(08:24:28 PM) inode0: one item from DemonJester
(08:24:58 PM) inode0: The splatter t-shirts which will make ianweller
infamous are at the printers and we are waiting for the final proof
(08:25:27 PM) inode0: Once that is approved we'll be getting a new
batch of really cool t-shirts
(08:25:55 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: you have any budgety items?
(08:26:50 PM) ***inode0 knows StabbyMc does so tries again to wake StabbyMc up
(08:27:22 PM) StabbyMc: I have pens!
(08:27:33 PM) ***herlo misread that at first
(08:27:53 PM) nb: haha
(08:27:57 PM) StabbyMc: got a quote for .41 per piece for 1000+
(08:28:05 PM) ***herlo is here a bit late, but here none the less
(08:28:32 PM) inode0: can you describe them for us?
(08:28:46 PM) ***StabbyMc finds a link ...
(08:29:29 PM) StabbyMc:
http://www.customink.com/designs/fedora1/13188748-2800869/share/?cm_mmc=share-_-emailb-_-preheader1-_-end
(08:29:38 PM) StabbyMc: It's going to be a bic clicky-top pen
(08:29:47 PM) StabbyMc: White barrel, blue tip and clip.
(08:29:51 PM) StabbyMc: blue ink
(08:30:00 PM) StabbyMc: with the fedora Finity logo.
(08:30:15 PM) inode0: bic clic stick
(08:30:40 PM) davdunc: O.K.  table is there.
(08:31:12 PM) inode0: thanks davdunc
(08:31:21 PM) davdunc:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget#Q2_2010_Budget_.28July_2009_-_August_2009.29
(08:31:47 PM) ***herlo needs someone to order retractable banners when
another opportunity to discuss comes up
(08:31:52 PM) inode0: so people who have spent budget please add your items
(08:32:35 PM) inode0: davdunc: Q2 starts June though
(08:32:40 PM) davdunc: doh.
(08:32:53 PM) inode0: Red Hat likes to be confusing
(08:33:28 PM) inode0: before returning to herlo's banners ...
(08:33:41 PM) inode0: I would like to get pens for the Red Hat Summit
(08:33:52 PM) inode0: Would other people like pens for other events?
(08:33:54 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: you want me to put 3000 pens on the budget?
(08:34:14 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: as a wishlist item yes
(08:34:32 PM) inode0: in other words, with only expected cost
(08:34:37 PM) crossbytes: yes, release party for 7/11.  who do we get
them through?
(08:34:38 PM) davdunc: I have a quote from when I got the tattoos for
comparison.
(08:34:44 PM) davdunc: for pens, that is.
(08:34:53 PM) inode0: these are 41 cents
(08:34:56 PM) Grantbow_: marketing wise pens are very sticky - I could
give some away at LUGs.
(08:35:21 PM) inode0: giving pens away is easy, too easy, and that is
sort of a problem with them
(08:35:25 PM) davdunc: my quote was 52 cents  for 2000
(08:35:32 PM) ***nb thinks pens are a good idea but doesn't know what
our budget is like
(08:35:41 PM) inode0: this is a pretty good price
(08:35:49 PM) davdunc: each, of course. :-)
(08:35:52 PM) inode0: yes
(08:36:01 PM) nb: I can't look at the wikipage I'm on my phone right now
(08:36:06 PM) inode0: these are 11 cents each below that
(08:36:26 PM) inode0: we don't really have the budget in any shape to
look at anyway
(08:36:27 PM) Grantbow_: good bang for the buck marketing investment
(08:36:28 PM) davdunc: less expensive is better in my book.
(08:36:45 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: yeah, I'm worried that while I said it
was a 2 color logo, the vendor didn't recognize that, but it'll come
out in the proofs.
(08:37:04 PM) inode0: there is almost nothing this Q left for events
though so we should have some funds
(08:37:51 PM) inode0: could I hear from any other regional ambassadors on this?
(08:38:30 PM) VileGent: herlo could report on the fad
(08:39:00 PM) herlo: Am I ready yet?

(08:39:06 PM) ***lcafiero had two clients come in as the meeting
started, but he'll comment on Q2 once he catches up
(08:39:32 PM) lcafiero: I'll yield to the senator from Utah
(08:39:39 PM) StabbyMc: pens on the budget
(08:39:45 PM) ***inode0 would like comments about pen acquisition if
you and herlo have any thoughts on those
(08:40:01 PM) herlo: I like them
(08:40:07 PM) lcafiero: ?
(08:40:46 PM) StabbyMc:
http://www.customink.com/designs/fedora1/13188748-2800869/share/?cm_mmc=share-_-emailb-_-preheader1-_-end
(08:40:51 PM) StabbyMc: lcafiero --^
(08:40:59 PM) lcafiero: inode0: when you say Q above, do you mean Q1 or Q2?
(08:41:00 PM) inode0: crossbytes: sorry, I missed your question - we
don't have any yet - discussing getting some
(08:41:20 PM) crossbytes: ok
(08:41:26 PM) inode0: Q1 is over and done with
(08:41:45 PM) inode0: Q2 has OSB and NECC and OSCON left
(08:41:51 PM) lcafiero: Got it. Thanks.
(08:41:52 PM) inode0: and MLS
(08:42:01 PM) ***lcafiero looks at calendar for once
(08:42:12 PM) inode0: OSB and NECC we aren't doing much I don't think
(08:42:19 PM) inode0: OSCON is hazy
(08:42:35 PM) inode0: Any news from OSCON?
(08:43:01 PM) inode0: lcafiero is a journalist - I'm putting him down
as liking pens
(08:43:01 PM) lcafiero: OSCON may not be a go. We're on a waiting list
for a table at the dot-org pavilion, second in line.
(08:43:21 PM) lcafiero: pens = +1
(08:43:29 PM) inode0: Question
(08:43:40 PM) inode0: if we do get a table is that free or is there some fee?
(08:43:44 PM) lcafiero: free
(08:44:01 PM) inode0: ok, so if we get that we just send all our swag to you
(08:44:12 PM) Grantbow_: no electricity or network but it's a free booth
(08:44:23 PM) scramer: ?
(08:44:30 PM) lcafiero: Grantbow_ is correct
(08:44:40 PM) inode0: swell, do you know what electric and network costs?
(08:44:52 PM) Grantbow_: minimum electricity is about $250
(08:44:55 PM) lcafiero: What was it, $400 or something?
(08:45:06 PM) Grantbow_: network is $400 for the first IP and $250 for
additional even with NAT
(08:45:14 PM) lcafiero: Right, that was it.
(08:45:19 PM) inode0: OSCON of all places should not play these games
(08:45:27 PM) lcafiero: True.
(08:45:29 PM) Grantbow_: economic tightening
(08:45:38 PM) Grantbow_: it was free in years past I heard
(08:45:54 PM) lcafiero: I believe Grantbow_ is right
(08:45:57 PM) VileGent: sounds like a union convention center
(08:46:09 PM) inode0: even if it isn't free calling it a free booth is
sort of scamlike
(08:46:11 PM) lcafiero: Anyway, quaid had an interesting idea if we
don't have a table
(08:46:11 PM) Grantbow_: yeah, McHenry Convention Center in San Jose
(08:46:22 PM) lcafiero: quaid, white courtesy phone . . . .
(08:46:58 PM) lcafiero: He and I were discussing it and he thought
that maybe we could be somewhat nomadic about our appearance at OSCON.
(08:47:16 PM) Grantbow_: stealth appearances?  lol
(08:47:49 PM) VileGent: fedora ambassadors shirt with backpack full of media
(08:48:03 PM) Grantbow_: aha!
(08:48:09 PM) ***herlo thinks backpacks would be cool for ambassadorkits
(08:48:11 PM) lcafiero: Something like that.
(08:48:19 PM) StabbyMc: Guerrilla marketing?
(08:48:23 PM) ***lcafiero agrees with herlo
(08:48:24 PM) herlo: que?
(08:48:38 PM) ***inode0 imagines quaid rolling the event box behind
lcafiero from booth to booth stealing the attention of the waiting
crowds
(08:49:07 PM) lcafiero: I thought I'd be in a monkey suit and quaid
would have the hurdy gurdy, but I like inode0's idea better
(08:49:35 PM) inode0: anyone ride a unicycle? throwing swag from atop
one of those gets people's attention
(08:49:42 PM) lcafiero: My daughter does.
(08:49:54 PM) ***StabbyMc volunteers to pop out of the manholes
throwing tatoos and pens at people.
(08:50:12 PM) lcafiero: I'd pay to see that, StabbyMc
(08:50:24 PM) ***inode0 can't imagine what they charge for a unicycle
on the expo floor, probably thousands
(08:50:32 PM) Grantbow_: lcafiero: Spartan battle dress?
(08:50:46 PM) lcafiero: But OSCON's still a little up in the air, and
there are a couple of folks I can still talk to in order to ping them
about sharing a table, if there are no objections.
(08:50:58 PM) inode0: sure, no objections
(08:51:02 PM) lcafiero: true inode0
(08:51:09 PM) inode0: and the stealth presence sounds like a good backup
(08:51:18 PM) lcafiero: I'll be updating on the mailing list.
(08:51:28 PM) inode0: herlo: take it away
(08:51:46 PM) inode0:
http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/art/fedora_four_fs_vertical_banner_330x800.png
(08:51:46 PM) herlo: w00t
(08:51:51 PM) inode0: let's return to this
(08:51:52 PM) herlo: right, thx inode0
(08:52:17 PM) herlo: so I need someone to take on the ordering of the
retractable banners for the eventbox
(08:52:45 PM) inode0: do you have a contact/company?
(08:52:48 PM) herlo: technically, the banner will fit in the eventbox
if we use a 24" banner size, but there was some disagreement about it
(08:52:49 PM) inode0: or just artwork?
(08:53:07 PM) herlo: inode0: no, just artwork, though I did do some
research and found a good price online for about $300
(08:53:10 PM) herlo: per
(08:53:20 PM) lcafiero: and we're looking at two, right?
(08:53:25 PM) inode0: three
(08:53:26 PM) herlo: which means if we did 4 banners, that's $1200
(08:53:30 PM) herlo: haha
(08:53:36 PM) herlo: we can start small
(08:53:38 PM) inode0: or four, but at least three
(08:53:41 PM) lcafiero: I thought we had two event boxes
(08:53:45 PM) inode0: three
(08:53:53 PM) lcafiero: Oh.
(08:54:01 PM) herlo: lcafiero: the East one was launched this weekend
by VileGent
(08:54:01 PM) lcafiero: Who has the third?
(08:54:06 PM) herlo: :)
(08:54:09 PM) lcafiero: Right, and I have one
(08:54:11 PM) lcafiero: Ah.
(08:54:13 PM) herlo: hehe
(08:54:17 PM) herlo: and inode
(08:54:17 PM) inode0: I bought the 2nd with leftover funds a while back
(08:54:19 PM) lcafiero: Those dang mountaineers
(08:54:30 PM) lcafiero: in the mountain states
(08:54:32 PM) inode0: it should make its debut at the summit
(08:54:34 PM) VileGent: mountaineers??
(08:54:41 PM) herlo: kk, so anyone interested in taking this on,
getting a PO through max and getting them into the eventbox setup??
(08:54:42 PM) lcafiero: rocky mountains
(08:55:01 PM) herlo: I'll be uploading the tiff and sla files to my
fp.o site this vary evening :)
(08:55:33 PM) inode0: herlo: if you say it will only take 5 minutes to
do I find that works :)
(08:56:07 PM) herlo: well, it'll take a bit longer than that, but
probably not more than an hour
(08:56:11 PM) crossbytes: what kind of warrenty on retraction device?
(08:56:16 PM) herlo: the upload is kind of large
(08:56:26 PM) VileGent: i say lets get 2 now and wait till next year
for the other 2
(08:56:27 PM) herlo: crossbytes: dunno, the one I looked at was 1yr
(08:56:28 PM) ianweller: oh look, meeting
(08:56:40 PM) herlo: ianweller: hai!
(08:56:41 PM) inode0: we have three boxes, why get four?
(08:56:42 PM) lcafiero: where?
(08:56:54 PM) inode0: and why leave one box without one?
(08:56:57 PM) herlo: inode0: wasn't suggesting 4, just saying that if
we bought 4 it'd be $1200
(08:57:09 PM) ***inode0 was responding to VileGent
(08:57:12 PM) VileGent: the east coast will gladly take the existing banner
(08:57:45 PM) herlo: heh, these are *way* better
(08:57:47 PM) inode0: ok, let's see about getting someone to do it
(08:57:50 PM) herlo: kk
(08:57:53 PM) inode0: that comes first
(08:58:07 PM) inode0: without that we don't get any :(
(08:58:29 PM) VileGent: herlo i wasnt too impressed with the one you
showed me at self
(08:58:30 PM) inode0: this is the chance someone has been waiting for
(08:58:35 PM) inode0: to make a difference
(08:58:49 PM) inode0: to contribute something that many people will benefit from
(08:59:19 PM) inode0: being an ambassador isn't all glamour, there is
some dirty work too :)
(08:59:35 PM) davdunc: what needs to be done here, just find the right
price and order them?
(08:59:35 PM) ***VileGent my hands in too many pots
(09:00:21 PM) VileGent: hmmm where are our new ambassadors
(09:00:32 PM) ***nb is here
(09:00:49 PM) herlo: VileGent: what one I showed?
(09:00:57 PM) herlo: VileGent: the link is above...
(09:01:21 PM) VileGent: the one setup behind us at SELf
(09:01:29 PM) inode0: nb: are you willing to try to arrange this?
(09:02:11 PM) nb: inode0, sure, i will need info on how to arrange it
and how to get it paid for and stuff
(09:02:11 PM) ***nb is new to this
(09:02:29 PM) inode0: sure, we'll all help you through the process
(09:03:19 PM) ***davdunc can attest to the help.
(09:03:23 PM) inode0: herlo: do you have time to get nb headed off in
some fruitful direction? we can help fill in details about payment and
such
(09:05:03 PM) ***inode0 steps away for 3 minutes ... cover for him
(09:05:31 PM) VileGent: herlo get that camera and mic out of the bathroom
(09:06:20 PM) lcafiero: heh
(09:08:02 PM) herlo: VileGent: sorry
(09:08:18 PM) herlo: inode0: sorry, got distracted by a shiny object
(09:09:35 PM) StabbyMc: herlo:
(09:09:38 PM) StabbyMc: *snap*
(09:09:40 PM) StabbyMc: *snap*
(09:09:43 PM) StabbyMc: Over here ;-)
(09:10:05 PM) ***inode0 is back
(09:10:19 PM) herlo: hehe
(09:10:23 PM) herlo: okay, I'm sort a here
(09:11:04 PM) inode0: herlo: can you help nb get started, point him to
the sort of thing to google to find vendors and such
(09:11:15 PM) herlo: so anyway, I don't really have a ton of research,
but what I did can be found here: 0
(09:11:18 PM) herlo: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=retractable+banner+stands
(09:11:40 PM) herlo: I found one that's about $280 or so with shipping and stuff
(09:11:54 PM) herlo: nb: you just need to talk with spevack and get
him to create a PO (hopefully)
(09:12:35 PM) inode0: nb: you can almost always catch one of us in
#fedora-ambassadors to help with details as you work on this
(09:12:45 PM) nb: ok
(09:13:10 PM) inode0: we do want to do this fairly soon, sooner the
better anyway
(09:13:21 PM) inode0: this is a major item in the event boxes
(09:13:28 PM) herlo: yep
(09:13:30 PM) nb: what size do we want?
(09:13:32 PM) herlo: thanks nb
(09:13:59 PM) herlo: nb: as I mentioned above 24" is a decent price,
but most retractable banners are around 36" wide
(09:14:00 PM) davdunc: thanks nb
(09:14:06 PM) inode0: and if there aren't repeating setup fees, we
might get one to make sure it is happy in the event boxes before
ordering the rest
(09:14:17 PM) nb: ok
(09:15:09 PM) inode0: Seeing nothing else on the agenda let's move to
Open Floor for any remaining items?
(09:15:12 PM) nb: herlo, and you said you will be uploading logos, right?
(09:15:42 PM) inode0: nb:

<-- this is what it will look like
(09:15:52 PM) nb: ok
(09:16:11 PM) lcafiero: btw it looks great, herlo
(09:16:13 PM) inode0: only it will be bigger :)
(09:16:31 PM) davdunc: lol
(09:16:51 PM) herlo: sorry, got disconnected
(09:17:04 PM) herlo: tx
(09:17:07 PM) ***StabbyMc prefers his banners to be HUGE blue
background, tiny little logo.
(09:17:15 PM) nb: herlo, oh ok, i see the other files there too
(09:17:18 PM) nb: the other formats i mean
(09:17:41 PM) scramer: I'm new here.  Does anyone know of any events

(09:18:35 PM) inode0: that has a similar thing from Red Hat
(09:18:40 PM) StabbyMc: scramer: we have an events page, check there.
