01:00:35 <award3535> evening wrnash
01:00:45 <award3535> #topic === FAmNA Roll Call ===
01:01:11 <award3535> I dont think we will have much tonight since LFNW is going on this weekend if I am not mistaken
01:03:50 <wrnash> i do not have anything
01:04:21 <award3535> seems like Hackru was a success last weekend
01:04:47 <wrnash> i have not head anything yet about it.
01:04:54 <wrnash> did someone send in the report
01:05:26 <award3535> I got an email from cydrobolt, He is getting his report done this week
01:05:32 <wrnash> ok
01:06:23 <Cydrobolt> hello
01:06:29 <Cydrobolt> award3535, I've posted a report on fmag
01:06:30 <wrnash> hi
01:06:35 <award3535> #chair cydrobolt
01:06:35 <zodbot> Current chairs: award3535 cydrobolt wrnash
01:06:43 <Cydrobolt> http://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-hackru-spring-2015/
01:06:53 <award3535> wrnash there is the answer we were looking for
01:07:06 <wrnash> great
01:07:08 <award3535> Cydrobolt, seems like the event was a success
01:07:12 <wrnash> i'm reading it now
01:07:15 <Cydrobolt> yeah, lots of people came
01:07:31 <Cydrobolt> I had a list of popular questions on a doc that I sent to award3535
01:07:55 <Cydrobolt> I'd say a majority were familiar with Linux (especially Ubuntu for beginners) but were not avid users of any distro
01:08:07 <Cydrobolt> we gave away all the DVDs, presumably a lot of them
01:08:17 <Cydrobolt> I also noticed a lot of people putting the stickers on their laptops
01:08:27 <Cydrobolt> there is a photo album linked on the fmag report
01:08:40 <award3535> that is the kind of events we needed to spread out to
01:09:02 <Cydrobolt> https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.917168188333860.1073741968.591858720864810&type=1
01:09:09 <Cydrobolt> almost all students
01:09:24 <Cydrobolt> there were some people who graduated and were avid users of a single distro
01:09:26 <award3535> cydrobolt you could have posted those questions to the fmag as well
01:09:33 <Cydrobolt> hmm, I could have
01:10:00 <Cydrobolt> lots of really interesting people there
01:10:14 <Cydrobolt> I met about 3 or 4 long-term fedora users
01:10:26 <award3535> that is what we as a group needed to branch out to
01:10:43 <Cydrobolt> yeah, I feel like the group was very undecided when it came to linux
01:11:09 <Cydrobolt> having physical contact with someone in the topic would hopefully give them a push towards our direction
01:11:14 <award3535> cydrobolt, since you already completed your report, ensure you put your travel in for reembursment
01:11:25 <Cydrobolt> yeah, is there a form?
01:12:11 <award3535> no it is a request for reembursment for room, travel and any material items you had to purchase for the booth
01:12:23 * Cydrobolt reads the page again
01:13:02 <award3535> heres the link for guidelines https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAMNA_Reimbursement_Guidelines
01:13:47 <Cydrobolt> ok
01:13:55 <Cydrobolt> can we vote on it this meeting, later on?
01:14:16 <award3535> vote???
01:14:19 <Cydrobolt> ?
01:14:28 <Cydrobolt> oh, I thought there was a vote needed to approve it
01:15:11 <award3535> your budget was already approved, you just need to submit receipts and the preferred method of re-embursment is through paypal
01:15:17 <Cydrobolt> ok
01:15:20 <Cydrobolt> my expenses for the event total $39.25, which is only for travel by train from my location to New Brunswick NJ
01:15:52 <award3535> https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/newticket and select reimbursement add copies of your receipts
01:16:05 <Cydrobolt> paypal works, something like venmo or check would be nicer though (not sure if they're still offered anymore)
01:16:13 * ParadoxGuitarist wanders in
01:16:14 <Cydrobolt> award3535, got it

01:21:00 <ParadoxGuitarist> It went to jsandy's house
01:21:22 <ParadoxGuitarist> Def. I'm bringing my DSLR so I'll get some good pictures
01:22:07 <Cydrobolt> Nice
01:22:19 <Cydrobolt> HackRU had photographers already, but I took some close-ups of the booth separately
01:23:09 <ParadoxGuitarist> It sounds like things went pretty well
01:23:10 <award3535> I would like to thank Cydrobolt for a job well done at his first event
01:23:16 <Cydrobolt> thanks award3535!
01:23:20 <Cydrobolt> I found an interesting picture: http://polr.me/1md?i5jZ
01:23:26 * ParadoxGuitarist applauds.
01:23:27 <Cydrobolt> someone put the fedora logo upside down
01:23:54 <ParadoxGuitarist> heh
01:24:18 <ParadoxGuitarist> I can't tell you how many times I've been complimented on my cool "facebook" shirt.
01:24:28 <Cydrobolt> ParadoxGuitarist, omg! I know
01:24:44 <Cydrobolt> there were ~10 people thought my shirt was facebook
01:25:06 <ParadoxGuitarist> I just take a deep breath and launch into a conversation about linux
01:25:14 <ParadoxGuitarist> heheh
01:26:29 <award3535> thats all you can do
01:26:33 <nb> hi
01:26:35 <nb> there should be a ticket but apparently it wasn't filed
01:26:37 * nb requests approval for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELF_2015
01:26:55 * nb thought Ben was going to file ticket
01:27:25 <award3535> nb, I will create the page, but I have not seen a ticket yet
01:27:49 * nb will make a ticket
01:28:07 * nb would like to go ahead and discuss and vote if possible, so i can book my plane ticket soon
01:28:14 <nb> tickets are pretty cheap right now
01:28:15 <award3535> cool, but I will not be going this year
01:28:39 <award3535> prior arrangement for me
01:29:00 <nb> sorry to hear that
01:29:08 <nb> https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/104
01:29:32 <nb> so far just ben and his wife, and me are going, we might have additional requests later if more people go
01:29:53 <nb> both Ben and I are planning on running a ham radio exam session again, and I am going to be coordinating a GPG Key Signing Party
01:30:00 <nb> and maybe CAcert assurances
01:30:25 <award3535> Last year we approved $2500
01:31:10 <award3535> we can start there and add more if possible, since there were four of us last year
01:31:49 <nb> Yeah, there might be more added to the budget than what is currently on the wiki, but so far we have one hotel room, my plane ticket, and the registrations
01:32:04 <nb> and a $500 sponsorship
01:32:31 <nb> hopefully we will have more people signing up
01:33:04 <award3535> so $2500 should start the ball rolling, remember the RH folks usually show up too to help
01:33:21 <nb> yeah
01:33:43 * nb is obviously +1 but not sure if I can vote since I'm receiving funding out of it
01:34:09 <award3535> +1 for $2500.00 for initial SELF
01:34:17 <nb> ParadoxGuitarist, Cydrobolt ping - proposal is to approve $2500 budget for SELF to start with, may ask for more later if needed
01:34:36 <nb> votes?
01:34:53 <award3535> wrnash?
01:34:59 <wrnash> yes
01:35:15 <award3535> we need a vote for SELF budget
01:35:16 <wrnash> +1
01:35:31 <award3535> Cydrobolt?
01:36:01 <Cydrobolt> +1
01:36:05 <Cydrobolt> sounds good
01:36:23 <award3535> #agreed $2500 for SELF budget
01:37:57 <award3535> nb, please update note the budget is approved
01:38:08 <nb> ok
01:38:35 <ParadoxGuitarist> Sorry I'm +1
