01:02:47 <zodbot> Current chairs: Cydrobolt ParadoxGuitarist award3535 wrnash
01:02:58 <Cydrobolt> award3535, sent you an email last week
01:03:14 <award3535> no worries not much going on, flock happening i think
01:03:45 <award3535> I got your email, but you will have to look into getting something for a booth a little cheaper
01:03:59 <award3535> they may not go with that much for one event
01:05:00 <award3535> with one person, we can ask
01:05:11 <award3535> plus rsuehle is on travel right now
01:05:34 <ParadoxGuitarist> =)
01:05:39 <award3535> #topic === Announcements ===
01:05:40 <ParadoxGuitarist> I like Ruth.
01:05:48 <ParadoxGuitarist> She's awesome.
01:06:09 <award3535> any announcements?
01:06:41 <ParadoxGuitarist> Stanford is looking for someone.
01:06:56 <ParadoxGuitarist> Hiring wise, got sent out to the music list
01:07:33 <ParadoxGuitarist> heavy fedora use for the position, if anyone knows anyone.
01:07:40 <juggler> which list / posting?
01:07:48 <award3535> Stanford a little far for me, but good information
01:07:52 <juggler> I can pass it around to folks
01:08:10 <ParadoxGuitarist> juggler@fp.org?
01:08:15 <award3535> plus my job is quite stable right now until the Gov shutsdown again
01:09:05 <award3535> moving on.....

01:09:49 <award3535> .famnaticket 111
01:09:51 <zodbot> award3535: #111 (MHacks Fall 2015 Budget Request) – FAmNA general trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/111
01:09:59 <award3535> Cydrobolt your up
01:13:57 <juggler> you ok Cydrobolt? :)
01:15:29 <award3535> I just tried to PM cydrobolt
01:15:39 <Cydrobolt> hey
01:15:45 <Cydrobolt> I'm back, sorry for the delay
01:16:01 <juggler> no prob...glad you're ok
01:16:04 <award3535> Cydrobolt, you need to make your pitch
01:16:04 <Cydrobolt> so MHacks confirmed a 2k sponsorship for a half table around two weeks ago
01:16:36 <Cydrobolt> However, I incorrectly thought at first that they would provising busing
01:16:56 <Cydrobolt> so I would not get free transportation to the event
01:17:30 <Cydrobolt> In brief, for those who are unaware, MHacks is a hackathon/developer event where many student developers from around the country gather and work on projects over a weekend
01:17:42 <Cydrobolt> It's going to be a 1000 person overnight event
01:18:29 <Cydrobolt> I have a couple concerns in regards to transportation
01:19:25 <award3535> what concerns
01:19:30 <Cydrobolt> Since they were able to confirm to me that no free charter buses would be provided, it means that I would have to take a flight from Philadelphia to Detroit, which might be costly
01:20:50 <ParadoxGuitarist> So probably around $2500
01:20:57 <Cydrobolt> No, it'll be around $400
01:21:06 <ParadoxGuitarist> total though
01:21:10 <Cydrobolt> Yeah :/
01:21:21 <award3535> and that was my concern was cost for one person could be more that what ruth will approve
01:21:29 <Cydrobolt> Yeah
01:21:49 <Cydrobolt> so I think we might be better off deferring this event and looking for another one closer by in the fall
01:22:12 <Cydrobolt> I'm not sure if I'm willing to do a $400 down payment either since I was never reimbursed before
01:22:12 <juggler> might train a feasible option?
01:22:15 <juggler> be a
01:22:21 <award3535> remember anything over 1K requires RH approval and right now the person filling in is tough
01:22:37 <Cydrobolt> yes
01:22:45 <Cydrobolt> juggler, I'm not sure if a train would work
01:23:07 <award3535> are there more events later on this year that are closer
01:23:07 <Cydrobolt> perhaps it might be good to choose a closer event later on
01:23:11 <juggler> ah...just throwing an idea out there...
01:23:15 <Cydrobolt> award3535, yeah, likely so, but smaller events
01:23:36 <award3535> Fosscon is also around the corner kk4ewt is attending
01:23:44 <award3535> smaller is also good
01:23:47 <Cydrobolt> yeah, I was planning to attend but might be unable to do so
01:24:10 <award3535> no event is too small that represents Fedora
01:24:27 <Cydrobolt> mhm
01:24:34 <Cydrobolt> HackRU was a pretty successful event
01:24:46 <award3535> and costly for a booth
01:24:46 <Cydrobolt> we could reconsider it this year
01:24:51 <Cydrobolt> hmm
01:25:04 <award3535> for only two people
01:25:13 <Cydrobolt> award3535, are you speaking of MHacks?
01:25:17 <award3535> yes
01:25:28 <ParadoxGuitarist> for only two days..
01:25:50 <Cydrobolt> it's an overnight event...but I think we might be good with deferring to another closer event
01:25:54 <award3535> HackRU is where you got your start, is the schedule out yet
01:26:17 <Cydrobolt> award3535, it's happening Oct 3 - 4
01:27:01 <award3535> More feasible, create a ticket and we can go from there, I will be in Ohio during that time for OLF
01:27:07 <Cydrobolt> I'll look for more local events, as it's usually beneficial to sponsor different events rather than the same event multiple times (when it comes to hackathons, since people usually attend events that are close)
01:27:20 <Cydrobolt> award3535, will do, going to look into it
01:27:55 <award3535> so should we defer the MHacks to next year?
01:28:24 <Cydrobolt> Yeah, I think we can reconsider MHacks, HackTheNorth, and PennApps again next winter (they happen each fall and winter)
01:28:44 <award3535> ok I will change the ticket
01:28:44 <Cydrobolt> having more time will allow better negotiation and planning
01:29:59 <award3535> ok moving on...
01:30:01 <award3535> #topic == Open Floor ===
01:30:09 <award3535> the gate is open....

01:30:59 <wrnash> I will order my tickets tomorrow after noon for me and my wife to attend.
01:31:01 <award3535> I will not be going, trying to get nb to send me a shipping document
01:31:32 <wrnash> Is there a shirt we need to wear.  I have last year design.
01:31:53 <award3535> job #1 will not let me off, I have the new shirts but waiting on shipping
01:32:16 <wrnash> that is why I cannot make it on Friday.
01:32:26 <wrnash> I will drive up late friday night for sat
01:33:40 <award3535> its a little far for me to drive from friday night, 17 hours one way
01:34:07 <wrnash> Way to far to drive.
01:34:30 <ParadoxGuitarist> Anyone know about RH sending me a laptop?
01:34:45 <ParadoxGuitarist> I got one a few weeks ago, I assume it's for the box?
01:34:49 <award3535> I was planning on leaving Wed to arrive thurs eve, but the job gave me no leave and overtime go figure
01:35:01 <juggler> ouch
01:35:11 <award3535> ParadoxGuitarist you are correct
01:35:17 <wrnash> I'm still on stayby if Verizon goes on strike.

01:36:05 <award3535> wrnash my prayers are with you, I am waiting for Gov shutdown again, so I feel your pain
01:36:25 <award3535> kk4ewt and nb got us updated laptops for the boxes
01:37:01 <juggler> awesome
01:37:37 <award3535> Now we are working on new banners that fit in the event box and new table cloths
01:40:57 <juggler> are the banners in process or is a maker being selected/sought after?
01:41:39 <award3535> I havent talked to kk4ewt yet but we were looking at vendors
01:42:49 <juggler> ah ok. i know a t-shirt vendor but I don't know if they do banners
01:43:11 <juggler> they did openstack's 5th anniversary shirts recently. great job
