16:22:34 <jsmith> #topic Venue update
16:23:51 <jsmith> Southern_Gentlem: I got a request yesterday for an extra room for a Red Hat team to meet in a few hours each day.  Assuming you have room (which I think is a fairly safe assumption), do you mind putting that on your schedule?
16:23:54 <Southern_Gentlem> jsmith, basicly i need the prospectus next week  so i can deal with the registrars
16:24:09 <herlo> Southern_Gentlem: I'm here now
16:24:09 <jsmith> Yes, I'll have it by the 1st of September
16:24:21 <jsmith> And I'll twist herlo's arm and make him help me with it :-p
16:24:36 <herlo> ouch, ouch! Fine, just don't twist it anymore!
16:25:11 <Southern_Gentlem> jsmith,  we have the building till basicly 11:00PM so evenings or whenever
16:25:25 <jsmith> Sounds great
16:25:43 <jsmith> Any other status updates on the venue itself?
16:26:02 <Southern_Gentlem> so do what to discuss Cudcon now
16:26:11 * gomix got to run :(
16:26:25 <jsmith> We can if you'd like, or we can make it a separate topic
16:26:26 <Southern_Gentlem> do we want to discuss CUDcon now as well
16:26:35 <Southern_Gentlem> its part of the venue
16:26:44 <jsmith> OK, let's do it
16:27:43 <Southern_Gentlem> quaid propose a co-running event called CUDcon  on the Fudcon-planning list
16:27:59 <herlo> maybe we should include quaid?
16:28:22 <Southern_Gentlem> and my answer to him is there as well, that basicly i have the room if he has the money
16:29:11 <jsmith> Ah, there's the man himself
16:29:23 <jsmith> quaid: We were discussing CUDcon
16:29:59 <quaid> ok, I'm a bit behind on my reading :)
16:31:52 <Southern_Gentlem> quaid as we discussed i have space and time if you have the funds
16:32:28 <quaid> well, the discussion on cloud@ has been fairly against a pairing
16:32:37 <quaid> for lots of good reasons I can't refute, nor really want to :)
16:34:03 <Southern_Gentlem> the cloud people were not happy with last years Fudcon?
16:34:27 <quaid> Southern_Gentlem: don't know anything about that
16:34:50 <quaid> but I do know people feel stretched too much already with what is at FUDCon
16:35:27 <quaid> I reckon a cloud track is a fine idea, and worth 'pre-advertising' so people know it's happening, but I'm not sure that a full-on sidealong event is a good idea.
16:35:58 * herlo thinks a 'cloud day' might not be a bad idea, before or after fudcon itself.
16:36:04 <quaid> so I have to get back with the SIG folks to see if they are interested in pre-organizing anything cloudy for Blacksburg
16:36:12 <tatica> CUDcon is a good idea, but may be considered a premiere event
16:36:18 <quaid> otherwise, my stand-alone open source cloud conference needs to be ... stand-alone.
16:36:23 <tatica> so, set 2 premiere event wouldn't be correct
16:36:31 <quaid> right
16:36:37 <tatica> maybe set a Cloud Day like herlo said is a good idea
16:36:45 <tatica> and see if that even grow, and can become a premiere event
16:37:05 <herlo> yup
16:37:09 <tatica> beside, we have tried for the past 3-4 years to not hold a FUDcon along to other events, in order to increase the importance of it
16:37:23 <tatica> so, might be used to promote a Cloud Event (Insert that name here)
16:37:29 <tatica> brb
16:37:55 <Southern_Gentlem> we can have cloud friday sat sunday if they want
16:38:01 <tatica> back
16:38:15 <tatica> maybe Southern_Gentlem can arrange to give Cloud people a room a full day (or something like that)
16:38:44 <quaid> ok, I'll take this as my action then, since I started this :)
16:38:56 <Southern_Gentlem> tatica,  basicly i am offering to cloud the same thing i am offering docs and design
16:39:01 <quaid> I'll circle back with the Cloud SIG to see what they *do* want for FUDCon
16:39:15 <tatica> Southern_Gentlem, that could work, if quaid thinks can make people happy
16:39:41 <rbergeron> hey.
16:39:45 <tatica> rbergeron, sup!
16:39:48 <Southern_Gentlem> #action quaid to contact the cloud Sig and see what they want to do at Fudcon:Blacksburg
16:40:03 <rbergeron> hi tatica :)
16:40:36 <jsmith> OK, shall we move on then?
16:40:42 * jsmith notes that he has another meeting at the top of the hour
16:40:50 <quaid> rbergeron: to catch you up, it's clear that the CUDCon idea as sidealong conference isn't going to work for all the various reasons; but I'll keep the conversation going about what people do want to do for cloud at FUDCon, e.g. cloud day or track or ?
16:41:14 <jsmith> #topic FUDPub
16:41:16 <rbergeron> I'm sure we'll wind up essentially having a "track" of some sort.
16:41:23 <rbergeron> Probably just from barcamp stuff.
16:41:27 <jsmith> I'm assuming there's nothing new to report regarding FUDPub?
16:41:30 <rbergeron> Unless we all want to work it out beforehand.
16:41:39 <quaid> rbergeron: exactly
16:42:12 <Southern_Gentlem> jsmith,  nope location is booked november we need to discuss menus
16:42:26 <jsmith> #topic Food (for FUDPub and otherwise)
16:42:30 <jsmith> Let's talk food :-)
16:43:44 <Southern_Gentlem> http://www.dining.vt.edu/catering/fullservice.php
16:44:09 <jsmith> I'm assuming that we have to use their catering for FUDPub?
16:45:34 * jsmith notes that the catering menu doesn't include prices
16:46:15 <Southern_Gentlem> except for sandwiches boxes which was 8.50
16:47:26 <herlo> $8.50/per box? Seems kind of pricey
16:48:34 <jsmith> Does that include the 1.50 per person extra charge for having it outside of Owens Banquet Hall?
16:48:34 <Southern_Gentlem> herlo thats normal
16:48:57 <Southern_Gentlem> if we want silver ware
16:49:12 <Southern_Gentlem> of course we can go the plastic route
16:50:28 <Southern_Gentlem> and i can also see how much owens would be as well
16:51:04 <Southern_Gentlem> basicly when we make up our minds what we want then i can go negiate with them
16:51:25 <Southern_Gentlem> and fudpub site is across the street from owens
16:52:11 <jsmith> OK
16:53:20 <Southern_Gentlem> i say we all look at the menus and next week come back with suggestions?
16:53:50 <jsmith> Sounds like a great plan
16:53:51 <Southern_Gentlem> i have a dead stop in 10 minutes
16:54:19 <Southern_Gentlem> #action all look at http://www.dining.vt.edu/catering/fullservice.php and come back next meeting with menus
16:54:48 <Southern_Gentlem> #topic Old Business
16:55:05 <Southern_Gentlem> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012_meetings
16:55:41 <Southern_Gentlem> Everyone please look at the old meeting minutes and update any action items still open please
16:57:07 <Southern_Gentlem> our last meeting we were suppose to look at other idea than Tshrits did anyone find something
16:58:29 <jsmith> I don't think so
16:59:32 <Southern_Gentlem> #action for catering as well http://www.dining.vt.edu/catering/simplesolutions.php
16:59:58 * jsmith has to run to another meeting
17:02:29 <Southern_Gentlem> anything from anyone else?
