20:05:01 <suehle> #topic roll call
20:05:27 * graphite6 is here
20:05:35 * AnnaE_ is here
20:06:19 <suehle> 3 things to mention today, but I think it'll be quick since it's just the 3 of us :)
20:06:38 <suehle> 1 - graphite6, could you send me the Python content you have so I can start cutting it down?
20:06:53 <suehle> Definitely want to get that one ready by PyCon, and I'm afraid it's going to sneak up on us.
20:08:39 * suehle pokes graphite6 :)
20:08:54 <graphite6> that's would be java and it is going on the wiki right now at the following link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Graphitefriction/Collateral_staging
20:09:23 <graphite6> I'm combining 3 docs that have run a muck, filling in sections as we speak
20:09:58 <graphite6> For Pycon, let's hit up nirik and Tim for content if possible
20:10:11 <suehle> Oh pooh. I could have sworn you said you had Python. But I'll poke nirik
20:10:36 <graphite6> speaking of Pycon, there isn't a Fedora booth there, we'll just have a few roaming ambassadors
20:10:53 <suehle> Spot was planning on commandeering a section of the massive Red Hat booth on our behalf.
20:11:21 <graphite6> nice, has he been in touch with Toshio?
20:11:56 <graphite6> Toshio is the person FAmNA planned to send the swag too
20:11:57 <suehle> I'm not sure. He seemed to have it under control, and I didn't ask many questions yesterday
20:11:58 * abadger1999 pops in
20:12:16 <abadger1999> graphite6: yeah, I talked to inode0.  I can definitely give the swag box to someone else though.
20:12:16 <suehle> nirik punted Python content to toshio :D
20:12:27 <abadger1999> graphite6: I'm going to drive down so it's easy for me to bring it.
20:12:43 <abadger1999> graphite6: But I'm always busy at pycon so it might be easier for ambassadors to give it out.
20:13:08 <suehle> abadger1999, when spot's conscious again, we'll see what he had taken care of as far as booth space
20:13:11 <graphite6> abadger1999: other than you, I'm not sure who else will be there in an abassador sense
20:13:17 <abadger1999> I have not talked to spot -- so I don't know if he's also trying to arrange for swag.
20:13:40 <suehle> spot and I should be there as well
20:13:40 <graphite6> abadger1999: gotcha
20:13:47 <suehle> if that wasn't implied
20:13:59 <suehle> abadger1999, can you help us write some Python Fedora brochure content?
20:14:13 <graphite6> abadger1999: pretty please :D
20:14:34 <suehle> Otherwise I'll just plagiarize the Python for Kids book and slap a Fedora logo on ;)
20:14:36 <abadger1999> suehle: Possibly.  let's get started on it asap -- things tend to get too busy close to an event to make it happen :-)
20:14:45 <suehle> abadger1999, DEFINITELY
20:15:04 <abadger1999> If you tell me what things you want I can brainstorm and flesh out info.
20:15:27 <graphite6> suehle: this is the link to the ambassador ticket for Pycon: https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/48
20:15:29 <suehle> abadger1999, this is the first language-related one we've done, so whatever about Fedora that might make it appealing and useful to Python people?
20:16:29 <abadger1999> suehle: k.  I'll start thinking of things.
20:16:53 <abadger1999> suehle: what's the medium for us to collaborate?  wiki? mailing list?
20:16:55 <suehle> All I know from spot was last night I mentioned pycon and booth questions had come up in the famna meeting, and he said openshift was doing demos in the Red Hat booth and we could do something Fedora-specific in it as well.
20:17:13 <graphite6> abadger1999: you can also peek at the java lang one in progress here:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Graphitefriction/Collateral_staging
20:18:16 <suehle> abadger1999, we can do it on the wiki, or if you want more visible change tracking, we could do it in an odt, but that's less visible to a lot of people trying to help
20:18:26 <suehle> (not that there's a waiting list to get a part of this action)
20:18:43 <abadger1999> k
20:18:45 <graphite6> abadger1999: I'd been using google doc and am now pasting the chaos into the wiki...not sure my methodology was sound
20:19:03 <abadger1999> I'll start a wiki page like the java one.  See what happens :-)
20:19:32 <graphite6> abadger1999: thank you!
20:19:54 <abadger1999> No problem -- will someone be able to clean it up and make it sound nice if I just kinda brain dump into it?
20:20:08 <graphite6> And I'll make a note in the ambassador ticket about the pycon plans/info we discussed here
20:20:10 <suehle> yup, that's what we're here for :)
20:20:16 <abadger1999> excellent. :-)
20:20:39 <suehle> shoot me an email when you're ready for another set of eyeballs
20:20:57 <graphite6> abadger1999: definitely, suehle is the editing master
20:21:33 <abadger1999> will do
20:21:34 <suehle> And hungry. how come nobody ever brings snacks to this meeting? :)
20:21:56 <graphite6> mmm, cupcakes
20:22:09 * AnnaE_ has banana chocolate chip bread in her cube if suehle is in 1801
20:22:13 <suehle> Does that take care of Brochureland and PyCon?
20:22:24 <suehle> AnnaE_, alas, I'm in my giant chair. No, that's not an alas. That's awesome.
20:23:16 <AnnaE_> num num num
20:23:25 <suehle> The other significant thing is that I really want to get HootSuite up and running, but robyn suggested sending a last call for objections to the mktg list, so I'll do that with these minutes
20:23:26 <graphite6> I think so for now, btw, I put the notes from Fudcon mkt here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Graphitefriction/Marketing
20:23:42 * AnnaE_ has a question yall might know
20:24:00 <AnnaE_> do we know what kind of budget we have for the Fedora area at Summit? or is that not disclosed until a later date?
20:24:06 <suehle> And the third is that I'm working on the FUDCon videos. Did we ever determine who owns the Fedora YouTube account? Couldn't find the other social media page on the wiki.
20:24:18 <suehle> AnnaE_, budgets are in the approval process right now, but I could try to see what we had last year
20:24:26 <suehle> I'm not sure exactly how that part works out.
20:24:39 <AnnaE_> cool cool -- yeah if you could shoot that to me whenever, that would be great!
20:25:02 <graphite6> suehle: I think maybe mizmo knew who owned the channel
20:25:06 <AnnaE_> trying to think of ways to pimp out our section
20:25:16 <suehle> graphite6, I'll ask her
20:25:27 <graphite6> AnnaE_: +1
20:26:29 <suehle> Anything else for today?
20:26:38 <graphite6> suehle: gnoki showed me the latest intro mockup for the videos https://www.dropbox.com/s/va3olt28n3a5twj/12.avi
20:27:03 <graphite6> I'm not sure if he (or mizmo) is still tweaking it or not
20:27:06 * AnnaE_ likes that video intro
20:27:07 <suehle> graphite6, thx
20:27:12 <suehle> I want to get these done as soon as I can
20:27:33 <graphite6> suehle: have you been involved in any of the plans for NELF
20:28:00 <suehle> I have not
20:28:34 <graphite6> Two days of Fedora activities and such at Harvard
20:29:09 <suehle> When is that?
20:29:11 <graphite6> chanchito is heading all that up and is looking for Fedora people and such in the area
20:29:28 <suehle> Those shouldn't be too hard to find
20:29:32 <graphite6> Northeast GNU/Linuxfest (NELF) http://northeastlinuxfest.org/ March 16-17
20:29:48 <graphite6> oops, March 16-17
20:30:06 <suehle> PyCon weekend
20:30:07 <graphite6> me and mucking up the pasting
20:30:23 * suehle is starting to forget what my bed looks like
20:31:01 <graphite6> lol
20:32:07 <suehle> Last call for today again?
20:32:12 * suehle pinged gnokii and mizmo
20:32:21 <AnnaE_> I'm good for now!
20:32:32 <AnnaE_> Someone here has asked if cardboard Beefy will be making a reappearance @ Summit
20:32:52 <suehle> He *could*, but that would be weird since we're past that release.
20:33:01 <graphite6> suehle: did you track down Walsh (sp?) at Fudcon for the mag?
20:33:05 <suehle> I'm also afraid he's going to break in half if he gets shipped much more
20:33:17 <suehle> graphite6, I talked to him, and he just wants guidance on what kind of content.
20:33:19 <suehle> but he's in
20:33:30 <graphite6> nice
20:33:57 <graphite6> I'm good for today, going to go back to adding the content to the wikipage
20:34:02 <AnnaE_> haha that's true -- poor beefy gets folded in half too much. I think the public loves him too much
20:34:25 <graphite6> <3 Beefy
20:34:37 <suehle> We all love him, but he does need to be retired now that his release has (finally) left the building
20:34:40 <AnnaE_> +1
20:34:57 <suehle> For Schrodinger's Cat, we'll just have a bunch of boxes with air holes :D
20:35:31 <graphite6> AWESOME! with scratch and sniff scents of dead and live cat...
20:35:49 <AnnaE_> so many memes could be had
20:35:50 <suehle> Anybody know offhand how many contributors (CLA+1) we have?
20:35:51 <AnnaE_> so many memes
20:35:59 <suehle> I guess I could check the press release, huh? :)
20:36:11 <graphite6> suehle: I have no idea
20:36:43 <suehle> http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/344677-schr%C3%B6dingers-cat
20:36:58 * AnnaE_ LOLs
20:37:22 <graphite6> :)
20:37:51 <suehle> AnnaE_, did we not put the F18 press release on redhat.com?
20:38:09 <graphite6> Can the cat dance whether he's dead or live? I so have that song in my head now...
20:38:38 <AnnaE_> that it's called Schrodinger's Cat?
20:38:40 <AnnaE_> hmmmm
20:38:52 <AnnaE_> oh wait that the *next* one is Schrodinger's cat
20:38:57 <suehle> no, I'm looking for the press release announcing the release, like last week
20:39:39 <AnnaE_> http://www.redhat.com/about/news/press-archive/2013/1/fedora-18-features-updated-user-interfaces-and-desktop-environments
20:39:43 <AnnaE_> it's not in there
20:39:51 * AnnaE_ smh's at herself
20:41:24 * AnnaE_ wonders if we can just add it in there? Is that allowed?
20:42:06 <suehle> no idea
20:42:14 <suehle> I would have thought the archives were automatic based on the content type
20:43:39 <AnnaE__> sorry it kicked me out
20:44:03 <graphite6> look at all those yummy systemadmin features...
20:45:38 <graphite6> Anything else? Or can I go find a cupcake :D
20:45:48 <suehle> Go find a cupcake!
