02:07:49 <rbergeron> #topic Agenda for FAMNA meeting tonight
02:08:05 * rbergeron will look at tickets I guess?
02:08:26 * inode0 has one short reminder/announcement
02:08:31 * rbergeron isn't sure offhand if there was an agenda posted
02:08:56 <inode0> report #9 iirc
02:09:09 <rbergeron> yup
02:09:20 <rbergeron> ah, okay
02:09:21 <award3535> I've been out so dont know
02:09:30 <rbergeron> well, I can't paste the list, so:
02:09:34 <rbergeron> #info Agenda for tonight:
02:09:36 <inode0> https://fedorahosted.org/famna/report/9
02:09:42 <rbergeron> inode0: thank you, I am a moron :)
02:09:47 <rbergeron> wow
02:10:04 <rbergeron> okay...
02:10:08 <inode0> but we do a bit around that part
02:10:20 <inode0> we can just wing it
02:10:36 <rbergeron> #topic Ticket #36 - FADNA
02:10:54 <rbergeron> is there anything specific we're waiting on here - just reports?
02:11:05 <inode0> this is where you chide everyone who hasn't reported in
02:11:07 <award3535> Last I knew it was reports
02:11:07 <rbergeron> that looks like it
02:12:01 <rbergeron> #info FADs need reports; if you have one, please post the link; if you haven't written anything, please do so! :)
02:12:14 <rbergeron> #info (at least for funded folks, but anything else written is good as well)
02:12:49 <rbergeron> okay, moving on, i suppose:
02:12:55 <award3535> please do
02:13:18 <rbergeron> #topic Ticket #48 - Pycon + Ticket #52 - Sponsorship for Pycon
02:13:28 <rbergeron> I'm combining these at will as they're moderately related
02:14:05 <rbergeron> #info Herlo is looking for sponsorship for hotel room @ $750, is willing to share with someone
02:14:36 <rbergeron> I don't know that herlo or ... anyone else is here - we might have better luck during the day. Is there sports on tonight or someting?
02:14:39 <rbergeron> SPORTS?
02:14:52 <inode0> nah
02:15:05 <inode0> so there actually is a booth, correct?
02:15:07 <award3535> unless its basket ball, there is nothing
02:15:21 <rbergeron> #info PyCon Event Page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PyCon_US_2013
02:15:38 <rbergeron> inode0: There is a large red hat area, half of it is fedora branded, half of it is red hat branded, aiui
02:15:50 <rbergeron> err, half of it is openshift, not red hat, branded
02:16:05 <inode0> yeah, so herlo could help there
02:16:26 <rbergeron> yeah, and it looks like kushal is going, maybe htat is the other half of the room - perhaps we can confirm that with clint
02:16:51 <rbergeron> or kushal for that matter :) lol
02:16:54 * inode0 has no problem splitting the room
02:17:34 <award3535> +1
02:17:36 <inode0> assuming employer isn't
02:18:10 <rbergeron> inode0: are you talking about kushal or herlo
02:18:11 <rbergeron> or both
02:18:12 <rbergeron> :)
02:18:35 <inode0> herlo, I don't think famna should be picking up kushal's costs really
02:19:24 <inode0> why wouldn't apac if ambassadors are doing it?
02:19:47 <rbergeron> ah, i see what you mean
02:20:44 <rbergeron> so /me proposes that we say yes, plz find a roommate, if you can share with kushal that's dandy
02:20:47 <rbergeron> ?
02:21:48 * rbergeron yells into the end of the room to hear the echo :)
02:21:50 <award3535> well is APAC paying for his portion or do we set that asid
02:22:08 <award3535> aside that is
02:23:11 <award3535> I guess I dont know who is kushal
02:23:53 <rbergeron> We won't worry about kushal for the moment. I trust herlo to try and find someone and sort it out with Kushal, whether he's paid for by his employer (red hat) or apac ambassadors... just not us, basically
02:24:13 <inode0> sorry, stepped outside
02:24:18 <award3535> being a budget guy myself, I understand
02:24:59 <award3535> I dont have a problem with it, I will agree, just asking questions
02:25:18 <rbergeron> award3535: and i appreciate your asking :)
02:25:30 <inode0> it ends up more or less the same either way, but I think apac should step up
02:26:20 <rbergeron> award3535: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kushal for your reference :)
02:26:24 <rbergeron> okay
02:27:02 <award3535> rbergeron thank you....
02:27:03 <rbergeron> #agreed Herlo approved for sponsorship for pycon; please try and find a roommate, check with kushal to see if you can split room :D
02:27:14 * rbergeron does this to move on with things
02:27:24 <award3535> please
02:27:26 <inode0> so aside from that, nb is supposed to ship swag to abadger1999 before the event
02:27:27 <inode0> and I think that is all we are doing this year
02:27:56 * rbergeron nods
02:28:13 <rbergeron> #topic Ticket #49 - Northeast Linuxfest
02:28:24 <rbergeron> #link https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/49
02:28:35 <rbergeron> I don't think anyone is around to speak to this this evening?
02:28:41 <inode0> perhaps dan408_ will touch base with them at some point too
02:28:47 <award3535> small audience
02:29:07 <rbergeron> inode0: indeed
02:29:37 <rbergeron> #topic Ticket #50 - Linuxfest Northwest - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/50
02:29:52 <rbergeron> well, i loaded that topic line up
02:30:22 <rbergeron> So, I was supposed to do something here, and I guess I'll do that this week, since i kind of did a bunch of stuff instead calling all over the planet re: scale this week and last week
02:30:45 <award3535> anyone take on LNW
02:30:50 <rbergeron> #action rbergeron to really make an event page, not sure who (if anyoen) else is going aside from 0xf13
02:30:53 <rbergeron> err
02:30:53 <rbergeron> #undo
02:30:53 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x299a2310>
02:30:58 <rbergeron> #action rbergeron to really make an event page, not sure who (if anyoen) else is going aside from jkeating
02:32:06 <inode0> adamw?
02:32:08 * rbergeron wonders curiously if jsandys will be looking for a magical sponsor for LAC this year
02:32:15 <adamw> yees?
02:32:16 <rbergeron> oh, duh, yes, adamw will be there (I HOPE)
02:32:18 <rbergeron> lfnw
02:32:23 <adamw> oh, god, LFNW. i need to sign up for that.
02:32:33 <rbergeron> yes you do, or I'll cry.
02:32:34 <adamw> but yeah, i was intending to go.
02:32:37 <adamw> nooo!
02:32:44 <adamw> no cry rbergeron!
02:33:01 <rbergeron> I personally look forward to boothing again this year and having someone ask me if "there's someone who can answer a technical question" while nodding towards a man
02:33:04 <rbergeron> lol
02:33:26 <rbergeron> adamw: we can have poker with max i believe :)
02:33:44 * rbergeron updates ticket with the three likely humans who will be around (without committing the other two to being at a booth)
02:33:46 <adamw> rbergeron: that sounds aces.
02:34:55 <rbergeron> I suspect gregdek will be around too, which means we'll all have to find a church together or something.
02:35:02 <rbergeron> #topic Other Business?
02:35:06 <rbergeron> That's all the tickets.
02:36:02 <award3535> cool, small audience though
02:36:05 <rbergeron> inode0: you said you may have other things?
02:36:22 <rbergeron> short reminder/announcement?
02:36:26 <award3535> inode0 yes please tellus
02:36:42 <inode0> I wanted to remind folks that if you would like to speak at TXLF and/or SELF you need to act before April 1/8
02:37:49 <award3535> thank you, but what would I bring to the table by speaking, my expertise is in network security
02:38:01 <award3535> and most of the gov uses windows...
02:38:14 <rbergeron> ohh, texas
02:38:14 <inode0> no one either place would have any interest in that I suppose? :)
02:38:52 <rbergeron> award3535: I bet a post to the mailing list might elicit some interesting ideas
02:39:10 <award3535> I would think so, but I do enjoy working the booths and providing any support that is needed.
02:39:10 <rbergeron> there are a number of interesting .gov conferences as well around open source
02:39:21 <rbergeron> SELF is usually pretty diverse in terms of information covered
02:39:47 <award3535> I will think about it and thanks for the suggestion rbergron ")
02:39:48 <inode0> I imagine network security would be a topic of much interest seriously
02:40:33 <inode0> but I was mainly getting the CFP deadlines just out in public where everyone who might be interested might notice
02:40:49 <award3535> I will get back to working on the SELF page this week...
02:40:53 <rbergeron> #info If you plan to speak at Texas Linux Fest or Southeast Linuxfest you should have your submission in by April 1 / 8 (respectively)
02:41:03 <rbergeron> #info Both are very lovely events :)
02:41:20 <rbergeron> Anything else?
02:41:28 <award3535> This year I will be in Charolette on friday
02:41:39 <inode0> Is SCaLE all sorted out?
02:41:46 <award3535> cool
02:42:35 <award3535> I have nothing else
02:42:38 <rbergeron> I think so.
02:43:24 <rbergeron> The tablecloth and banners are en route, apparently vwbusguy has swag, and dan said he would reassemble the event box with things afterwards.
02:43:56 <rbergeron> And other folks who have had posession of the box may be on a box diet.
02:43:56 <inode0> I'm good then and I can take care of cleaning up the meetings stuff tonight (wiki/email)
02:44:22 <inode0> Could you see what you can do about recovering our thinkpad?
02:44:32 <rbergeron> And he cleaned up/washed/stain removed the tablecloth.
02:44:45 <rbergeron> Yep. I think sexycatsinhats has it and will see what I can do.
02:45:04 <rbergeron> OLPCs i have written off, but hoping we will get more soon this year anyhow with the new shiny tabletty models.
02:45:22 <rbergeron> And we have a handful of people bringin their own for this event.
02:45:41 <rbergeron> #action rbergero to see if she can track down sexycatsinhats / laptop, if that is the true location of the west coast thinkpad
02:46:06 <rbergeron> inode0: thanks for doing the other cleanup for the efvening - i just haven't typed anything in herlo's ticket yet
02:46:14 <rbergeron> Anyone else? going once twice?
02:46:23 * rbergeron eyes pizza and her microwave?
02:46:33 <rbergeron> thanks for coming, inode0 and award3535 and various visitors :D
