01:21:05 <Cydrobolt> oops 01:21:08 <Cydrobolt> meant Ann Arbor 01:21:09 <award3535> Cydrobolt I may have a conflict with another event, checking 01:21:18 <juggler> ah 01:22:12 <Cydrobolt> please do 01:24:36 <award3535> Cydrobolt, go ahead and create a ticket, I have a student ambassador that will be attending UM this year as well 01:25:01 <Cydrobolt> award3535, cool 01:25:08 <award3535> this would be a perfect event for him as well 01:25:24 <Cydrobolt> I'm a student as well, and I'm relatively active in the hackathon scene 01:25:39 <Cydrobolt> If you give me his contact information, I can coordinate with him if you are unable to attend 01:26:05 <Cydrobolt> Cool, will create a ticket and follow up with the MHacks organisation team 01:26:32 <Cydrobolt> award3535, are we going for the 2k smaller table/smaller logo or the 3k for bigger table and bigger logo? 01:26:45 <award3535> this type event is what we need to branch out with, and he is not fully up yet in the ambassador world I am waiting for him to contact me again and we will get you two in touch 01:27:06 <Cydrobolt> Yes 01:27:13 <Cydrobolt> Please let me know! 01:27:59 <award3535> I would go with the 2K table, because you will also need lodging as well, also create a wiki page, etc... follow the guidelines for events 01:28:20 <Cydrobolt> I won't need lodging or transportation 01:28:24 <Cydrobolt> the event is an overnight even 01:28:26 <Cydrobolt> event** 01:28:32 <Cydrobolt> so there is lodging at the event 01:28:53 <Cydrobolt> for transportation, there is a bus going from Penn to UM so I likely won't need much in that aspect 01:29:09 <Cydrobolt> I am not sure what the situation for transportation is for others, though. It should likely be relatively cheap 01:29:40 <award3535> ok, but if I go I would, because of the travel distance, I am in the very SE corner of Georgia in fact 3 miles from the Florida border 01:29:49 <Cydrobolt> Mmhm, yeah 01:30:18 <Cydrobolt> There should be buses going at least to Virgia Tech I'd assume, but we will definitely need some transportation for you 01:30:24 <award3535> none the less create the required items and put the ticket in for meeting status. 01:30:28 <Cydrobolt> Yup 01:30:37 <Cydrobolt> Will create a ticket and create event pages 01:31:41 <award3535> also dont forget I would have to take time off from work to accommodate this event as well as OLF and Fossetcon I will check my schedule 01:32:00 <wrnash> Is the bus a city bus or Greyhound? 01:33:08 <Cydrobolt> wrnash, they charter buses 01:33:17 <wrnash> ok thanks 01:33:26 <Cydrobolt> award3535, okay, please follow up 01:35:08 <award3535> Cydrobolt, will do 01:35:32 * kk4ewt 01:35:41 <award3535> evening kk4ewt 01:35:50 <award3535> #chair kk4ewt 01:35:50 <zodbot> Current chairs: Cydrobolt award3535 kk4ewt wrnash 01:36:26 <kk4ewt> when is tlf? 01:36:44 <award3535> kk4ewt not much going on tonight August 21 01:37:10 <kk4ewt> so do i need to ship anything 01:37:49 <award3535> we have the travel/lodging part approved and I have no clue on what masta has already arranged for, only that I am bringing Tshirts 01:38:59 <kk4ewt> i think he may have centrals box 01:39:10 <kk4ewt> and have the banners 01:39:21 <kk4ewt> I 01:40:46 <kk4ewt> award3535, i am hoping you can look at the central box and see if we need anything for it 01:41:09 <award3535> I looked in the way of what was requested but saw nothing, so I have been waiting for his email, and yes I will take a look at the central box 01:42:39 <Cydrobolt> Hmmm 01:42:46 <award3535> in fact I put the ticket in for media and I am waiting to find out where to ship them 01:42:55 <Cydrobolt> award3535, just messaged MHacks again 01:43:18 <Cydrobolt> we are apparently limited to 2 people at the event "at a time" if we choose the smaller tier 01:44:15 <Cydrobolt> what do you think? will that be enough, or will the UM student be joining us? 01:44:52 <award3535> Cydrobolt, then I would recommend that my student ambassador attend the event I will get in touch with him and get him finished He would be a perfect candidate for this event as well as you are 01:45:20 <Cydrobolt> Cool, that sounds great.
