Sorry. 02:04:32 <StabbyMc> dahlan: we usually use .fas or .fasinfo to get our name in the record, though inode0 suggests we do away with it. 02:04:52 <StabbyMc> My only announcement is the availability of shirts. 02:05:04 <ke4qqq> ! 02:05:27 <StabbyMc> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/ButtonUp 02:05:38 <StabbyMc> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/ButtonUp 02:05:52 <StabbyMc> At the bottom of the page is order info. 02:06:18 <StabbyMc> Anyone order one yet? 02:06:38 * inode0 pointed to that page when asked for "ideas" 02:06:38 <VileGent> hopefully soon 02:06:38 <pcalarco> I'm ordering mine in Jan. 02:06:54 <djf_jeff> StabbyMc: I plan to do it soon 02:07:49 <StabbyMc> At some point I'd like to get some feedback on the order process, mine was a little rocky, but I was the first, and I change locations everyweek, so shipping to me was problematic. 02:08:13 <StabbyMc> But because of that, I want to make sure that the vendor is doing a good job, otherwise we'll bounce. 02:09:03 <StabbyMc> So feedback when you've got it would be appreciated :-) 02:09:10 <StabbyMc> Any other announcements? 02:09:15 <inode0> vote 02:09:57 <ke4qqq> less than 24 hours left 02:10:06 <VileGent> already done 02:10:56 <StabbyMc> More announcements? 02:11:32 <StabbyMc> #topic Fedora NA Ambassadors Meeting Events 02:11:48 <StabbyMc> So the only upcoming event we've talke about recently has been Scale 02:11:56 <StabbyMc> Anything else circling out there? 02:12:03 <pcalarco> ! 02:12:04 <davdunc> There is texas linuxfest 02:12:25 <VileGent> ??? 02:12:51 <pcalarco> StabbyMc: I forget, should we be putting local LUG events on here where we'd like an Ambassadors Kit? 02:13:06 <pcalarco> I have already requested said Kit 02:13:18 <ke4qqq> pcalarco: I'd like to see them - and the reports that follow along 02:13:19 <djf_jeff> I go on the local radio tomorrow to promote Fedora and announce our release event 02:13:30 <StabbyMc> pcalarco: kit requests go through traq, but I'd update the Events page with any events you attend. 02:14:16 <Grantbow> dfj_jeff: break a leg 02:14:38 <djf_jeff> Grantbow: hmm, I don't know this expression here ;) 02:14:45 <inode0> pcalarco: I saw your request, F12 media is hoped to be here by Christmas 02:14:53 <Grantbow> dfj_jeff: best of luck 02:15:05 <pcalarco> inode0: thanks, sounds great 02:15:17 <djf_jeff> Grantbow: ah, ok, thanks ;) 02:15:23 * inode0 grumbles about it taking a month to get media 02:15:26 <ke4qqq> inode0: any news on what the hold up is?? I thought it was 'ready' except for a small snafu before fudcon 02:16:00 <inode0> disagreement over what is required as payment I believe 02:16:15 <StabbyMc> spevack sent out an e-mail to ambassadors-list today which in part said it was on his plate. 02:16:20 <djf_jeff> inode0: +1 02:16:29 * ke4qqq thought the email today was regarding emea media 02:16:36 <ke4qqq> perhaps I missed one though 02:16:41 <inode0> he mentioned NA media too 02:17:38 <StabbyMc> Anybody need stuff for an upcoming event like banners or event-boxes that hasn't been addressed? 02:18:59 <StabbyMc> #topic Fedora NA Ambassadors Meeting - Budget review 02:19:31 <StabbyMc> spevak said he'd likely not be here tonight, but he sent an update via e-mail today to ambassadors-list 02:19:50 <StabbyMc> I'm assuming nothing has changed since our discussion of budget last meeting. 02:19:57 * StabbyMc doesn't think anything has been ordered. 02:20:02 <inode0> well, we have lost 2 more weeks 02:20:13 <StabbyMc> there is that. 02:20:16 <inode0> Max will be ordering the case badges for everywhere 02:20:25 <inode0> We need to take care of anything else we want 02:20:42 <StabbyMc> I'll be starting with window-clings again next week. 02:20:48 <StabbyMc> Now that shirts are all done. 02:21:27 <StabbyMc> most of the companies that do the window clings also do vynl stickers, so I'll likely try and get them done at the same time. 02:21:30 <inode0> If we want more shirts this quarter we should (a) decide which make and model and (b) contact DemonJester 02:22:03 <StabbyMc> splatter shirts +1 02:22:30 * slipp3d seconds the splatter shirt 02:22:56 <etank> the splatter shirt is pretty nice 02:23:21 * inode0 votes for the old less expensive style but expects to be outvoted :) 02:24:04 <slipp3d> inode0, what does the older one look like ... the only one that I have really seen is the splatter shirt 02:24:12 <StabbyMc> inode0: while I appreciate the less expensivness; the splatter shirt is far superior. 02:24:19 <etank> i agree. if the older ones are less money and we can get more then it makes sense to buy those instead. 02:24:30 <ke4qqq> We could also always ask for a new shirt design from Design 02:24:45 <inode0> The splatter shirt costs 50% more 02:25:39 <inode0> I'm fine with the splatter being an occasional indulgence, don't think it should be the default giveaway shirt though 02:26:23 <slipp3d> how about splatter shirts for the ambassadors and the older style shirt for the boxes 02:26:23 <StabbyMc> is dnhodgson here? 02:26:37 <VileGent> splatter shirts are too expensive 02:26:39 * StabbyMc rembembers he was going to get shirt pricing. 02:26:49 <Grantbow> less expensive is better 02:26:54 <inode0> new design is fine with me too, just remember each color adds cost and 3 colors is relatively about as cheap as we can get 02:26:56 <ke4qqq> slipp3d: they are only viable in large quantity- otherwise they are a fortune - literally 02:27:27 <slipp3d> okay .. well that shoots my idea to the ground then.... 02:27:45 <StabbyMc> I think i'd like the old shirts better if they were black. 02:27:52 <inode0> slipp3d: we can get more again at some point, when we are flush :) 02:28:11 <slipp3d> StabbyMc, inode0 .... do you have a link to the old design... i would like to take a look at it 02:28:23 <inode0> they aren't for us, conference people aren't picky 02:28:41 <Grantbow> 50% more shirts is a big win 02:29:19 <Grantbow> or, 33% whatever 02:29:48 <dahlan> For the conference, I'd say go with the cheaper shirts. 02:29:50 <inode0> http://www.flickr.com/photos/herlo0/2939282628/sizes/l/ 02:29:55 <slipp3d> I agree Grantbow ... more shirts would be a good thing 02:30:43 <inode0> http://www.flickr.com/photos/herlo0/2938430887/sizes/l/ 02:31:04 <StabbyMc> I also wouldn't fight the I F Freedom shirt on the teeshirt page. 02:31:13 <StabbyMc> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/T-Shirt 02:31:49 <StabbyMc> (though could do without the back) 02:31:52 <ke4qqq> StabbyMc: the "Get Some" one?? or the "Do You?" one 02:32:16 <StabbyMc> ke4qqq: that's the one, though I'd be very happy without "Get Some" written on them. 02:32:54 <slipp3d> thanks inode0 ... 02:33:24 * inode0 sort of likes the join url 02:34:21 <StabbyMc> join url? 02:34:28 <inode0> join.fp.o 02:34:47 <inode0> you know, where you go to join :) 02:34:51 <slipp3d> I like the " I (F) Freedom " shirts 02:35:09 <StabbyMc> I wouldn't be opposed to the join url printed on there too. 02:35:25 <StabbyMc> or at least fp.or 02:35:56 <Arsenick> +1 freedom shirts! 02:36:00 <ke4qqq> I know it misses the alliteration, but libre would almost be a better fit there 02:36:40 * StabbyMc casts about for volunteers to take on getting a new shirt produced. 02:37:34 <StabbyMc> No volunteers? 02:37:39 <slipp3d> StabbyMc, what would need to be done for getting the new shirts 02:37:41 * inode0 keeps saying we should talk to DemonJester rather than duplicate the work he has already done 02:37:58 <ke4qqq> at the sametime it's not bad to spread the task love 02:37:59 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: talking to the vendor listed on the swag page. 02:38:10 <StabbyMc> sending them the artwork. 02:38:21 <StabbyMc> approving or modifying the proof 02:38:25 <StabbyMc> then ordering. 02:38:34 <StabbyMc> the ordering part is where you get max involved. 02:39:27 * maxamillion is late again ... just got home 02:39:37 <maxamillion> sorry :( 02:39:54 * inode0 will suggest (a) get art lined up and (b) discuss it with DemonJester before cold calling the vendor 02:40:01 <StabbyMc> maxamillion: you just volunteered to chair a committee! 02:40:40 <maxamillion> StabbyMc: sweet, what committee? 02:40:46 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: or what inode0 said. 02:41:04 <StabbyMc> maxamillion: I haven't decided yet. But it'll be very painful! ;-) 02:41:48 <slipp3d> StabbyMc, I can see what i can do about getting some time together and to contact DemonJester about getting this started 02:41:50 <maxamillion> StabbyMc: no, it will be the most awesome committee EVAR 02:42:11 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: thanks for stepping up! 02:42:32 * StabbyMc annoints him with the tee shirt wand 02:43:13 * slipp3d doesn't know if I should duck or not.... O-o 02:43:17 <StabbyMc> #action slipp3d contacts DemonJester to get started on I F Fedora tee shirts. 02:43:26 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: too late, it's done ;-) 02:43:36 <crossbytes> so are we doing up new artwork for the shirts also? 02:44:04 <StabbyMc> crossbytes: we have the artwork already for the shirt we were just talking about. 02:44:30 <StabbyMc> though the print likely needs to be white instead of black like the marketing page. 02:44:30 * ke4qqq wonders if we can do it in black instead of white 02:44:50 <StabbyMc> ke4qqq: tee color, or text color? 02:45:01 <ke4qqq> tee color 02:45:20 <StabbyMc> I was rather enamored with the blue, but it likely would look dumb with jeans. 02:45:30 <StabbyMc> So black would probably be better. 02:45:55 <ke4qqq> depends on the color of blue IMO 02:46:21 <slipp3d> so what artwork are we thinking... (or do I need to bring this up in a different meeting) 02:46:37 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: I was thinking https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/T-Shirt 02:46:49 <StabbyMc> there's already a mock-up, with SVG file for the logo. 02:47:05 * etank likes the idea of a black tee 02:47:05 <StabbyMc> though I would say lose the sleeve printing 02:47:25 <ke4qqq> StabbyMc: you realize there are ~12 different shirts ont he page right?? 02:47:25 <inode0> slipp3d: if you are doing it have at it - you don't need to buckle to pressure from StabbyMc 02:47:26 <StabbyMc> And we'd have to get http://join.fedoraproject.org printed on the back ? 02:47:48 <maxamillion> I also would prefer a black T ... less stain revealing 02:47:53 <StabbyMc> ke4qqq: true, but only 2, very close together, that say I F Fedora ... 02:47:58 <inode0> We all seem to like the I F Freedom well enough ... 02:48:13 <StabbyMc> Er. I F Freedom 02:48:26 <inode0> Please stop thinking about these shirts in such a personal way - it is swag to give to other people 02:48:40 <slipp3d> i second the I F Freedom 02:48:49 <StabbyMc> slipp3d: though that said, I'd be happy with whatever. as long as it gets done. 02:48:58 <djf_jeff> inode0: +1 02:49:01 <inode0> slipp3d: but think some about redesigning the back if you want to 02:49:09 <etank> inode0, you answered my question before i could even ask it 02:49:16 <ke4qqq> inode0: yes - contributors get different shirts from fads and fudcons and the polos and button down shirts. 02:50:19 <StabbyMc> Ok, any other budget items? 02:50:55 <StabbyMc> I think that kind of rounds out the task list review from last time as well. 02:51:13 <StabbyMc> #topic Fedora NA Ambassadors Meeting - Open Floor 02:51:42 <StabbyMc> I haven't seen lcafiero yet, I know he had an item for open floor. 02:51:54 <StabbyMc> Anyone else have anything? 02:52:53 <pcalarco> ! 02:53:16 <pcalarco> I need help with my gpg key on my fas account 02:53:33 <pcalarco> can't aggregate my blog postings to the Planet right now 02:53:50 <ke4qqq> pcalarco: can we work on it in #f-ambassadors ? 02:54:02 <StabbyMc> pcalarco: sounds like a #fedora or #fedora-ambassadors item. 02:54:07 <StabbyMc> NM, 02:54:09 <pcalarco> ke4qqq: sounds great, thx 02:54:14 <StabbyMc> ke4qqq: too quick. 02:54:37 <StabbyMc> If there's nothing else, I'm going to call the meeting. 02:55:03 <StabbyMc> 3 02:55:10 <StabbyMc> 2 02:55:16 <StabbyMc> 1 02:55:19 <maxamillion> 0 02:55:20 <StabbyMc> #endmeeting
