19:06:10 <stickster> OK, let's get goin'
19:06:23 * rbergeron is just going to deliver the apology for being way behind in advance :)
19:06:26 <stickster> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/48 (Google contact at OLF)
19:06:30 <stickster> Speaking of which...
19:06:48 <rbergeron> stickster: yesssss?
19:07:02 <stickster> I ended up stuck at the Red Hat booth (which we found out was going to be unmanned) during the conference.
19:07:12 <stickster> I didn't run into anyone I knew was GOOG there. rbergeron, did you have any luck?
19:07:23 <rbergeron> So: I know that ke4qqq talked to Carol from google while we were there. Who essentially said, go talk to cat, as she has the funding power.
19:07:33 <rbergeron> Now, I don't know cat, but I know many other people do.
19:07:57 <rbergeron> Cat was not at OLF, and was elsewhere.
19:08:17 <stickster> Yeah, I gathered that from David too
19:08:34 <stickster> rbergeron: Do you want to send some email to Cat when we have the prospectus completed?
19:08:51 <rbergeron> I can, though I don't know her, and will need her email address which I can probably find in like 3 seconds of googling. :)
19:10:20 <stickster> rbergeron: *nod
19:10:32 <rbergeron> But am happy to do so, once prospectus is done.
19:10:36 <stickster> This is a case where it would be helpful to make contact from a non-RHer
19:11:22 <stickster> rbergeron: I'll set that ticket to you with some explanation then, kosher?
19:11:46 <rbergeron> yessir!
19:13:11 <stickster> Awesome!
19:13:16 <stickster> Sorry, too many pings going on :-)
19:13:33 <stickster> #action stickster to assign ticket 48 with update
19:14:14 <stickster> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/49 (GoDaddy sponsorship)
19:14:17 <stickster> inode0: Anything to report here?
19:14:42 <inode0> no, but they did say to expect it to take 3 weeks before seeing any reaction
19:15:04 <rbergeron> so there was a non-automated response?
19:15:12 * inode0 has one non-agenda item to slip it when appropriate
19:15:55 <stickster> inode0: Fair enough -- should I set a date in the ticket to check back?
19:16:04 <stickster> i.e. 3 weeks + a bit from some date?
19:16:14 <inode0> it has been one week iirc now
19:16:26 * rbergeron nods
19:17:57 <stickster> inode0: Cool, I'll set the ticket to check back in two weeks
19:18:02 <inode0> it is ok to leave it on the agenda - in two weeks I'll poke again if I don't hear back before then
19:18:10 <stickster> #action stickster Set ticket 49 to check back in 2 weeks for status
19:18:30 <stickster> cool
19:18:41 <stickster> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/43 (Underage patrons at Sparky's Den)
19:18:50 <rbergeron> I suck and have been buried, I will follow up on it today, plz mark it for an update at next week's meeting. :)
19:18:55 <stickster> rbergeron: This one's yours. I know you were at OLF this past weekend :-)
19:19:11 <stickster> No problem, I understand. It's what I would call "important, not urgent for this week"
19:19:15 * rbergeron agrees
19:19:25 <stickster> rbergeron: Go ahead and mark it -- I'll do inode0's above
19:19:33 * jsmith updated his ticket
19:19:34 <rbergeron> btween olf and being sick i've just been somewhat out of commission.
19:19:36 * rbergeron goes to update it
19:19:47 <stickster> #action rbergeron Update ticket for status next week, 9/21
19:20:00 <stickster> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/19 (Internet pipe at hotel)
19:21:17 <stickster> #info stickster found contact and relayed to rrix's friend Zach and jsmith to relay to his guy
19:21:34 <stickster> I've updated the ticket -- jsmith, I presume you haven't heard back about when the on-site survey would happend
19:21:36 <stickster> *happen
19:21:37 <jsmith> #info jsmith has relayed contact information to his guy
19:21:42 <stickster> Beauty
19:21:47 <jsmith> No, still don't know when survey will happen
19:23:36 <stickster> jsmith: OK, no worries. I've set a status to check back
19:23:45 <jsmith> Thanks
19:23:49 * jsmith will be right back
19:23:52 <stickster> #action We'll check back about an on-site survey in two weeks

19:24:05 <stickster> #action We'll check back about an on-site survey in one week
19:24:25 <stickster> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/47 (Prospectus)
19:24:33 <stickster> I know that herlo wrote a draft for this
19:24:39 <stickster> I didn't get a chance to review it until I was at OLF
19:25:01 * rbergeron still isn't htat far :\
19:25:10 <stickster> But I sent some review points, and wanted to talk about it here
19:25:19 <stickster> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011_logistics#Event_Sponsorship
19:26:02 <stickster> #info there are two documents sketched out, a prospectus and a sponsorship offering
19:26:12 <stickster> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011_prospectus <-- Prospectus
19:26:25 <stickster> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011_sponsorships <-- Sponsorship offerings
19:26:58 <stickster> I thought maybe these documents could be combined -- they're both very short and if I were being asked, I'd want all the info in front of me quickly.
19:27:08 * rbergeron nods
19:27:16 <stickster> On the other hand, I don't know if herlo is planning to put these into some other format as two docs to be printed out.
19:27:42 <stickster> I'm not sure about the "focus" section in the first document. FUDCon normally doesn't have a single focus, since we have a lot of people from different teams there.
19:27:46 <stickster> (That's more like a FAD honestly.)
19:28:03 <inode0> Did you see herlo's reply?
19:28:05 <stickster> We could easily have bullet points, though, about the things we plan to do at FUDCon
19:28:14 <stickster> inode0: I haven't -- wall2wall meetings
19:28:36 <stickster> inode0: URL?
19:29:15 <rbergeron> http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fudcon-planning/2010-September/001121.html
19:29:43 * inode0 too slow, sorry
19:30:27 <stickster> Thanks guys :-)
19:30:34 <stickster> Ah, good reading
19:32:44 <stickster> All right, probably too much to cover here in IRC
19:32:51 * stickster sorry for wasting meeting time reading
19:32:58 <stickster> I love Clint's response and want to keep that going on the list.
19:33:07 <stickster> I agree we could have the prospectus done shortly.
19:33:13 <rbergeron> i think so.
19:33:13 <stickster> I'd like to work on that after the meeting closes if possible
19:34:48 <rbergeron> Okay!
19:34:51 <stickster> rbergeron: I think I'm going to move that we close up a bit early and work on that.
19:35:02 <rbergeron> that's fine by me.
19:35:03 * inode0 has one short item
19:35:11 <stickster> We have one other ticket I opened as a reminder (https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/50 -- create welcome packet)
19:35:15 <stickster> which is very much non-urgent
19:35:17 <rbergeron> are we covering the ticket on the welcome packet today?
19:35:18 <rbergeron> ah
19:35:22 * rbergeron is too slow now
19:35:22 <stickster> Let's go to AOB for inode0
19:35:32 <stickster> #action Continue to whittle on prospectus on list and IRC after this meeting
19:35:36 <stickster> #topic AOB (all other business)
19:35:42 <stickster> Go inode0!
19:35:43 * rbergeron will be happy to start pecking away on the welcome packet
19:35:44 <stickster> :-)
19:35:48 <inode0> ok, I got the proofs today for the lanyards
19:35:54 <stickster> rbergeron: I think first things first -- prospectus is more urgent
19:35:58 * rbergeron agrees
19:35:59 <stickster> inode0: Oooo lanyards
19:36:07 <inode0> they look great, mizmo approved the art/logo stuff
19:36:09 <rbergeron> i just meant in my oh so copious spare time :)
19:36:18 <stickster> inode0: Is there a jpg somewhere we can look at?
19:36:19 <biertie> oh noes, I only have 534543 lanyards already ;-)
19:36:27 <stickster> biertie: But these will have a Fedora logo
19:36:45 <biertie> ok, that makes them with 500% awesomeness ;-)
19:36:47 <inode0> stickster: I can make it available again but it is just a proof
19:37:07 <inode0> so it doesn't actually look like a lanyard :)
19:37:32 <stickster> Oh, I gotcha
19:37:54 <inode0> anyway, cost is a bit more than I planned, but I think spevack will let me get away with it
19:38:13 <inode0> so I plan to approve it and arrange payment today or tomorrow
19:38:19 <inode0> eof
19:39:13 <rbergeron> :)
19:39:22 <stickster> #info Lanyards are on their way, thanks to inode0
19:39:37 <stickster> That's awesome John
19:39:45 * stickster looking forward to his official one
19:39:52 <stickster> AOB?
19:40:04 * stickster has a dog whining to go out here and needs to wrap this up soon
19:41:33 <rbergeron> i have nothing else
19:42:08 <stickster> OK then!
19:42:22 <stickster> Thanks everyone, let's get that prospectus finished up. I'll be back online in ~10 min
