Wasn't sure if setting up more than a FAS account would be useful before showing up on the day 17:12:41 <gholms> FWIW, I randomly decided to go to the last one and returned home feeling like I had learned stuff. 17:12:53 <gholms> (the last US one, anyway) 17:13:20 <chuckf_> yeah, it looks like there will be a lot of interesting topics 17:13:26 <rbergeron> i think that's a good start. another thought is maybe looking at some of the tracks that people rae proposing, or even looking at some of the different groups in fedora to get involved in (if that type of thing interests you), and maybe talking to some of those people or groups online to introduce yourself before you come, but that's certainly not required :) 17:13:36 <chuckf_> and with it being just about a 5 hour drive, close enough to go 17:14:02 <rbergeron> where are you driving from? 17:14:20 <chuckf_> rbergeron: I was gonna do some of that next week when I'm off work 17:14:28 <chuckf_> I'll be coming from the DC area 17:16:20 <rbergeron> chuckf_: cool :) 17:18:54 <rbergeron> okay, so, apparently ben is travelling today 17:19:06 <rbergeron> so I guess I am going to cancel the meeting and see if i can rearrange it to do tomorrow 17:19:15 <gholms> :\ 17:20:19 <chuckf_> okay. 17:20:54 <chuckf_> is there a public agenda for the meeting somewhere? 17:21:52 <rbergeron> chuckf_: we generally go through the tickets in the meeting list, here: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/report/9 17:22:31 <rbergeron> though that list probably needs to be updated 17:22:41 <rbergeron> #action rbergeron to sort through additional tickets for meeting agenda 17:22:50 <rbergeron> #action rbergeron to follow up with Southern_Gentlem on a meetingt time for this week 17:23:29 <rbergeron> chuckf_: we also hang out in #fudcon-planning for when it's not meeting time 17:23:37 <chuckf_> cool 17:23:49 <rbergeron> in case you're interested :) 17:24:10 <chuckf_> I'll look in over there when I can, and idle there otherwise 17:27:33 <rbergeron> cool :) good to meet you! 17:27:35 <rbergeron> #endmeeting
