01:09:33 <award3535> well, how much did they pay for the table 01:09:44 <award3535> and did we clear that with them 01:09:59 <masta> I think that is why they are wanting to share with our table, I think they forgot to fund their table. 01:10:25 <award3535> from my experience with RH they really never have anything set up except for spot 01:10:59 <masta> There are going to be a small army of RH people giving talks and working the booth. 01:11:01 <award3535> ok, that is easy, I just emailed you the contact for the sponsor 01:11:25 <award3535> sara haliburton is waiting for some word 01:11:25 <masta> mostly their architect type guys, Thomas Cameron, etc... 01:11:39 <masta> ok 01:11:40 <masta> thanks 01:11:50 <award3535> let me know that you received it 01:12:01 <award3535> I sent it to your project email address 01:12:20 <masta> got it award3535 01:12:55 <award3535> I guess we can get the form to ruth and get it taken care of 01:13:11 <award3535> I dont know what they are willing to spend 01:13:22 <masta> award3535: the past few years we sponsor the event at the silver level 01:13:30 <masta> award3535: I think we should do that 01:13:44 <award3535> that would work, is silver 5k 01:13:56 <award3535> if so we could share that expense 01:14:02 <kk4ewt> 5k? 01:15:28 <award3535> that means we should set the level for Fedora at 4K , 2.5K to the booth and 1.5K for our costs 01:15:45 <masta> I am not sure, I thought it was much less 01:16:50 <award3535> checking now 01:17:31 <masta> was $2k last year 01:17:55 <masta> we also did the tote bag insert $500 01:18:10 <award3535> the form says 3.5k for silver 01:18:16 <masta> we gave out all the dvd media that way 01:18:31 <masta> award3535: the cost of last year was only 2k 01:19:16 <kk4ewt> 5k is too expensive for a sponsorship 01:19:22 <award3535> I just emailed your the sponsor form and it says 3,5K for silver 01:19:22 <masta> agree 01:19:41 <kk4ewt> then whats the next level down 01:20:04 <kk4ewt> i am ok with a 1K sponsorship 01:21:02 <award3535> silver is the lowest listed on the form, 3.5K, gold is 5K, Plat 8.5K 01:21:56 <masta> lets go for community exhibitor, and we will "donate" $1000 01:21:59 <Cydrobolt> Is this TLF? 01:22:07 <masta> yes Cydrobolt 01:22:13 <Cydrobolt> cool 01:22:54 <award3535> that would be acceptable 01:23:01 <masta> actually, we might have to do silver 01:23:28 <masta> I need to talk to Redhat, because if they share with us, we cannot go community 01:24:00 <Cydrobolt> masta, might be a noobish question, but how many people are expected to attend TXLF? 01:24:01 <award3535> we can push this one more week and give you some time to get ahold of them 01:24:30 <Cydrobolt> couldn't find it on wiki or website 01:24:54 <award3535> Cydrobolt https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TexasLinuxFest_%28TXLF%29_2015 01:25:11 <award3535> so far there will be 5 of us there 01:25:25 <Cydrobolt> award3535, ah, I meant attendees 01:25:27 <Cydrobolt> not ambassadors 01:25:55 <award3535> the first year I attended in San Antonio was about 900 01:26:11 <award3535> dont know about the last couple of years I was unable to attend 01:26:36 * ParadoxGuitarist wanders in 01:26:54 <award3535> #chair ParadoxGuitarist 01:26:54 <zodbot> Current chairs: Cydrobolt ParadoxGuitarist award3535 kk4ewt masta 01:26:58 <Cydrobolt> I see 01:27:06 <ParadoxGuitarist> Sorry I'm late all, I'm at a conferance in Orlando. 01:27:09 <masta> Cydrobolt: probably between 1500 to 2000 01:27:17 <Cydrobolt> gotcha 01:27:38 <award3535> ParadoxGuitarist your in my neck of the woods 01:27:46 <ParadoxGuitarist> =) 01:27:58 <award3535> time change give you trouble 01:28:08 <ParadoxGuitarist> I'm here til Sunday 01:28:11 <masta> award3535: we can, but need to go forward with requesting media and stuff 01:28:18 <ParadoxGuitarist> Naw, our final session just let out late 01:28:32 <masta> award3535: I just tried calling the RH guy, and left a voice mail. 01:28:45 <Cydrobolt> award3535, I have an update in regards to hackathons after we're done with TXLF 01:28:51 <masta> in an email they sent to me they want to share a larger booth, and get a keg of beer 01:29:19 <masta> award3535: so I suspect they will be funding part of this even, so for now we can vote on the travel only, ok?

01:34:16 <award3535> +1 for $1500 01:34:46 <masta> We might not have 4k after I get RH to pay 01:34:59 <masta> so for now I want to agree on travel. 01:35:06 <ParadoxGuitarist> +1 01:35:06 <kk4ewt> i am hoping we dont spend the 4K but that is a good budget guess at this point in time 01:35:07 <award3535> we can address that next week 01:35:26 <award3535> two more for the travel portion 01:35:31 <ParadoxGuitarist> Plus I'm pretty sure we're under from other events 01:35:33 <masta> I can say that the travel and lodgeing for me will probably be zero cost, but I've put in a request just in case 01:35:57 <masta> +1 4k total budget 01:36:08 <masta> +1 $1500 travel/lodging 01:36:28 <award3535> one more vote for travel 01:36:30 <masta> but obviously I'm biased, so kk4ewt ?

01:39:02 <Cydrobolt> Open floor 01:39:13 <award3535> go ahead 01:39:34 <Cydrobolt> I followed up on PennApps over the week, it looks like the lowest they can give us the "mega" tier is 4k 01:39:43 <Cydrobolt> which still seems a bit high 01:40:04 <Cydrobolt> but it's an overnight event with 2k people, so lodging isn't really required 01:40:11 <award3535> did you check if there was a community/non profit 01:40:27 <Cydrobolt> award3535, yeah, I did, the normal price for the mega tier is 7k 01:40:41 <Cydrobolt> they seem to be packed this year, so it doesn't seem like they can go down on tiers with sponsor tables 01:41:24 <ParadoxGuitarist> Yeah, I'm not thrilled about this event. 01:41:30 <Cydrobolt> there is the kilo tier which is cheaper but without a sponsor table, but the sponsor table is quite important for these types of events so it is probably better to pass if there is not a sponsor table 01:42:02 <Cydrobolt> since we want a sponsorship table, we'll probably have to pass it seems like 01:42:12 <Cydrobolt> also contacted another event (HackTheNorth) but they are already full this year 01:42:47 <Cydrobolt> I'll keep looking and I'll report back...we might have to push this to an event later in the year, though, if nothing suitable comes up soon 01:43:05 <Cydrobolt> no rush, I'll keep you all updated 01:44:41 <ParadoxGuitarist> Sounds good 01:46:20 <ParadoxGuitarist> On a side note, there's a Microsoft world Partners conference in Orlando this week. 01:46:29 <ParadoxGuitarist> I passed out some F22 disks. 01:46:41 <award3535> now that is cool! 01:47:19 <Cydrobolt> hahahahah 01:47:59 <award3535> if I would have known you were there ParadoxGuitarist, I could have made arrangements to meet up, but I have to work all weekend 01:48:52 <ParadoxGuitarist> No worries, I've been pretty busy (from 7am-10 most days) 01:49:16 <ParadoxGuitarist> And the wife is with me, so that's been my free time when it's around 01:49:50 <award3535> yes I would have to bring mine too, we just could go down there without going to WDW 01:50:24 <ParadoxGuitarist> yeah, it's not at our hotel, but they're housing all the the folks from Denmark, and Norway at our hotel. 01:53:19 <award3535> wow that conf is expensive.... just looked at the site whoa 01:53:52 <ParadoxGuitarist> yeah, I'm here for a church thing 01:54:43 <award3535> anyone have anything else 01:55:38 <award3535> ok folks see you all next week 01:55:42 <award3535> #endmeeting
