02:12:27 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Hahah, I can't disagree.
02:12:28 <linuxmodder> its mostly  blackhat  minded
02:12:47 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Ahh, interesting -- we should probably hook you up with some info about the Security Spin?
02:12:50 <linuxmodder> I am doing more   security research stuff these days so it fits
02:13:03 <jflory7> If you need help digging down some resources, feel free to ping me or in #fedora-commops
02:13:05 <masta> ok then
02:13:05 <linuxmodder> jflory7,  hook it up?  I use it   on my server
02:13:07 <linuxmodder> daily
02:13:13 <jflory7> Alright. Any other announcements?
02:13:33 <jflory7> linuxmodder++ Awesome! Then you should be a good representative for the Security Spin.
02:13:34 <linuxmodder> first  2  groups I install are  C dev tools and security-lab
02:13:41 <jflory7> Okay, let's press on into tickets. There's a lot to cover tonight.
02:13:45 <jsandys> joining

02:13:57 <zodbot> Current chairs: ParadoxGuitarist cydrobolt jflory7 jsandys linuxmodder masta
02:14:03 <jflory7> Welcome jsandys!
02:14:12 <jflory7> #link https://fedorahosted.org/famna/report/9
02:14:13 <masta> does fedora pen testing work right now?
02:14:34 <jflory7> Okay, this might be the biggest topic tonight:
02:14:36 <masta> linuxmodder, ^^^
02:14:40 <jflory7> #info === Ticket #119 ===
02:14:43 <jflory7> .famnaticket 119
02:14:45 <zodbot> jflory7: #119 (OSCON 2016 booth) – FAmNA General Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/119
02:14:59 <jflory7> Has everyone seen the mailing list thread about this yet?
02:15:01 <jflory7> #link https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/ambassadors@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/U26YENGH6SRPLWK4TLCZJV7C4LN7H47F/
02:15:22 <masta> ok...
02:15:37 <masta> so can we justify this event?
02:15:37 <jflory7> What it boils down to is questioning if we're going to OSCON this year
02:16:10 <jflory7> As stated in the ticket, the prices went way up, and Fedora leadership is wondering whether we will be able to make a measurable impact at OSCON this year
02:16:17 <ParadoxGuitarist> Do we have local people there?
02:16:22 <ParadoxGuitarist> To man the booth?
02:16:23 <linuxmodder> #chair jsandys
02:16:23 <zodbot> Current chairs: ParadoxGuitarist cydrobolt jflory7 jsandys linuxmodder masta
02:16:24 <juggler> o/
02:16:24 <linuxmodder> jflory7,  jsandys  and juggler  jsut came in
02:16:24 <linuxmodder> jsut in time for tickets folks
02:16:24 <linuxmodder> test test
02:16:41 <linuxmodder> masta,  most of it
02:16:42 <jflory7> #chair juggler
02:16:42 <zodbot> Current chairs: ParadoxGuitarist cydrobolt jflory7 jsandys juggler linuxmodder masta
02:16:48 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Thanks, missed that.
02:16:55 <masta> so $7500 is the price
02:16:57 <jflory7> Welcome juggler!
02:17:06 <jflory7> ParadoxGuitarist: I think we have a couple. masta is in the region, and I think danofsatx is roughly nearby.
02:17:17 <masta> that is a lot compared to other events
02:17:21 <linuxmodder> masta,  not  in this short of  time
02:17:24 <juggler> masta...congrats, btw! (catching up the channel here)
02:17:42 * juggler thanks jflory7
02:17:46 <jflory7> I know we've usually always gone to OSCON each year, but I think that maybe this year is a year for us to try focusing our impact on smaller communities where we can work with people who may have never seen Fedora or not know much about it.
02:17:53 <ParadoxGuitarist> Just trying to think of hotel added costs.
02:18:06 <jflory7> What are all of your thoughts on all of this?
02:18:34 <masta> it would be expwnsive
02:18:39 <jflory7> ParadoxGuitarist: I know hotel costs were also very expensive :/
02:19:05 <jflory7> I can't place the exact number (think it came up in the channel earlier? can't remember), but there was concern over hotel costs as well
02:19:07 <juggler> not sure...I have not been to OSCON, but I imagine hotels for it could be pricey
02:19:16 <masta> I'd only take ambassadors who are hardcore event experienced
02:19:31 <jflory7> Yeah, it's a fairly *large* event in terms of size and scope
02:19:32 <linuxmodder> I'd like us to go but  finding the price a bit hard to justify
02:19:39 <masta> 3 ~4 days of table work is hardcore
02:20:05 <juggler> no prob ;)
02:20:12 <jflory7> linuxmodder: I'm in the same boat. I think we could go much farther with the money of this event and increasing our outreach in local communities... like universities, schools, and other local groups and/or businesses.
02:20:32 <linuxmodder> use it  for campus work indeed
02:20:55 <jflory7> I know decause has had a lot of experience with OSCON before, he might be able to weigh in if he's around right now
02:21:15 <linuxmodder> Southern_Gentlem,   you around ?
02:21:20 <jflory7> So, unless anyone else has any comments or thoughts to share, I say we put it to a vote
02:21:20 <masta> I kinda think we should not do OSCON
02:21:36 <masta> it's too expensive
02:21:51 <jflory7> I think the funds will be better used elsewhere.
02:21:56 <masta> our ROI is typically too little
02:22:05 <jflory7> So, here's the proposal...
02:22:07 <linuxmodder> +1 for saving the  $$ for smaller /campus stuff
02:22:13 <ParadoxGuitarist> Have we checked into sharing a booth with RH?
02:22:30 <masta> our funds... which are massive, actually.... can be better spent..
02:22:32 <linuxmodder> this one we are generally  separate iirc
02:22:43 <ParadoxGuitarist> I'm for sending someone if we can tag along for free
02:22:44 <masta> so lets spend on good things.
02:23:13 <jflory7> Proposal: FAmNA has decided that we will skip over OSCON this year and use the funds to focus on smaller communities where we can try to make a bigger impact on new types of users and potential contributors.
02:23:14 <jflory7> +1
02:23:33 <masta> +1
02:23:39 <jsandys> +1
02:23:46 <juggler> +1
02:23:53 <cydrobolt> +1
02:24:09 <ParadoxGuitarist> +1
02:24:23 <jflory7> linuxmodder?
02:24:34 <masta> sucks... but good ting
02:24:48 <ParadoxGuitarist> I'd rather buy more usb sticks
02:24:52 <ParadoxGuitarist> ;)
02:24:56 <juggler> :)
02:24:56 <jflory7> ParadoxGuitarist: :)
02:25:25 <jflory7> Since this is a big topic, I want to make sure we're all on the same page before moving on.
02:25:32 <masta> we have less exposure at the big event.... but we focus on smaller events.
02:26:09 <masta> hopefully the strategy works
02:26:12 * jflory7 nods
02:26:23 <linuxmodder> +1 sorry  was talking locally
02:26:25 <jflory7> masta: I'm definitely in agreement
02:26:31 <jflory7> linuxmodder: No worries, thanks for chiming in. :)
02:26:32 <jflory7> #agreed Unanimous agreement: FAmNA has decided that we will skip over OSCON this year and use the funds to focus on smaller communities where we can try to make a bigger impact on new types of users and potential contributors.
02:26:36 <ParadoxGuitarist> we won't kill fedora for missing OSCon one year
02:26:39 <jflory7> Okay, let's move on to the next ticket.
02:26:59 <jflory7> #info === Ticket #122 ===
02:27:02 <jflory7> .famnaticket 122
02:27:04 <zodbot> jflory7: #122 (Banners for SCALE14x) – FAmNA General Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/122
02:27:05 <jflory7> This one can be closed
02:27:10 <jflory7> Banners are in transit to me for BrickHack
02:27:19 <masta> I think we should  find a way to d fedora oscon, if possible...
02:27:26 <juggler> jflory7 I agree...!
02:27:35 <jflory7> #action jflory7 Close Ticket #122; banners on the way to jflory7 for BrickHack
02:27:36 <masta> but community style
02:27:46 <jflory7> #action jflory7 Update Ambassadors list about the OSCON vote
02:28:16 <jflory7> #info === Ticket #123 ===
02:28:21 <jflory7> .famnaticket 123
02:28:22 <zodbot> jflory7: #123 (Reviving the Campus Ambassador program) – FAmNA General Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/123
02:28:29 <jflory7> I have a few updates to share about this.
02:28:35 <linuxmodder> shoot
02:28:40 <juggler> please go ahead
02:28:43 <jflory7> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jflory7/Scratchpad/Campus_Ambassadors
02:29:01 <jflory7> I'd like to put two things to vote: changing the wiki page officially and publishing the Community Blog article
02:29:07 * jflory7 is finding the link to the Community Blog draft
02:29:36 <jflory7> #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=759&preview=1&_ppp=c40d1ed868
02:29:40 <jflory7> Okay, there's the two links.
02:29:44 <linuxmodder> +1 blog
02:30:04 <masta> ok, whoa
02:30:10 <jflory7> I propose this: Update the wiki page for the Campus Ambassadors to jflory7's draft on the wiki and publish the Community Blog article before BrickHack next week.
02:30:13 <ParadoxGuitarist> +1
02:30:17 <jflory7> Take some time to look over these, no rush to vote yet
02:30:35 <linuxmodder> still wish we could  add the  hackathon bit  we talked about jflory7   but if not  no worries
02:30:40 <masta> yeah +0 so far
02:30:51 <jflory7> The drafts are made up of our earlier discussions about two or three meetings ago.
02:31:06 <linuxmodder> +1 on blog  regardless of  hackathon plug
02:31:09 <jflory7> linuxmodder: For the blog article?
02:31:18 <linuxmodder> yup jflory7
02:31:32 <linuxmodder> re-reading  the scratchpad for  updates now
02:31:44 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Good catch. I can get that in there, I think mentioning hackathons is a good idea. That's probably a large part of where we might attract university students to get involved with Fedora as Ambassadors.
02:32:03 <ParadoxGuitarist> what's your concern masta?
02:32:23 <jflory7> So, I'll make sure to add some content to the blog post about hackathons before publishing. decause will also be reviewing the Community Blog article before it is published as well.
02:32:59 <masta> ParadoxGuitarist, ?
02:33:17 <ParadoxGuitarist> +0?
02:33:36 <cydrobolt> jflory7, hm :/
02:33:49 <linuxmodder> jflory7,  on the scrathpad  about  event reports  why just the commblog  full ambassadors are  able to jsut link to their  blogs
02:33:56 <jflory7> cydrobolt: What's up?
02:34:02 <linuxmodder> or is that  just  a  hard recommend
02:34:24 <jflory7> linuxmodder: That's true... no, you're also right about that. decause mentioned it to me too, as it can be a good idea for students to help build their personal brand.
02:34:28 <linuxmodder> jflory7,  ping me for the updates to blog  pls
02:34:29 <jflory7> I forgot he mentioned that to me too
02:34:41 <jflory7> The recommendation was to encourage the CommBlog as an option but use personal blogs as a default
02:35:02 <linuxmodder> or  some TL;DR commblog  with a external link to  their  blog  pushing bth
02:35:03 <jflory7> For example, someone could do a copy + paste of their blog on the Community Blog and point back to their original blog post.
02:35:15 <jflory7> Okay, sounds like I have some revisions to do, so I don't think we'll replace them yet tonight.
02:35:42 <linuxmodder> jflory7,  worst case I'll email a  rough revision draft to you
02:35:42 <cydrobolt> jflory7, I'm a bit skeptical about the wording
02:35:50 <linuxmodder> markdown style
02:36:00 <linuxmodder> on ? cydrobolt
02:36:04 <jflory7> So are the current points of issue only: mentioning hackathons in the blog post / wiki article, and Campus Ambassadors posting reports on their personal blog?
02:36:12 <jflory7> cydrobolt: Sure, what are your thoughts?
02:36:18 <cydrobolt> on the blog article
02:36:23 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Sounds good, we can definitely collaborate on this.
02:36:30 <linuxmodder> from me  yes  jflory7   others have still yet to chime in
02:36:40 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Definitely
02:36:48 <jflory7> cydrobolt: Which parts?
02:37:21 <cydrobolt> I'm not sure if the incentives that the article mentions is the right way to market "campus ambassador"
02:37:22 <jflory7> Uh-oh, I think I see what you mean
02:37:29 <nb> hi
02:37:32 <jflory7> Ohhh, okay. Re-reading...

02:37:34 <zodbot> Current chairs: ParadoxGuitarist cydrobolt jflory7 jsandys juggler linuxmodder masta nb
02:37:34 <zodbot> nb: nb 'Nick Bebout' <nick@bebout.net>
02:37:37 <jflory7> Welcome Nick!
02:37:46 <ParadoxGuitarist> NB!
02:37:46 <juggler> nb!
02:37:47 <cydrobolt> I'm also not sure if we want a riff between campus ambassadors and other ambassadors
02:37:50 <linuxmodder> cydrobolt,  yes?
02:37:52 <cydrobolt> Hi nb
02:37:58 <masta> hiya nick
02:38:18 <cydrobolt> just some thoughts, not very structured yet
02:38:38 <jflory7> cydrobolt: I think mentioning the benefits in that way is a useful hook for getting students interested in contributing as Campus Ambassadors. I also think the current revision of the Campus Ambassadors says something similar about benefits of participating.
02:38:48 <cydrobolt> jflory7, I'm also not sure how being a campus ambassador can help someone "Gain experience with Linux and working with remote systems
02:38:48 <cydrobolt> "
02:38:59 <jflory7> cydrobolt: What are your concerns about rifts with other Ambassadors? That's definitely something worth addressing before changing anything.
02:39:09 * nb does not think you should be required to be an ambassador to become campus ambassador
02:39:28 <masta> yeag
02:39:33 * nb intends to change that in FAS
02:39:34 <jflory7> cydrobolt: Personally, I think the latter part of that line can be removed. I think Campus Ambassadors will get experience with Linux, but they are not necessarily required or guaranteed to be trained with remote systems.
02:39:38 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Thoughts on that line?
02:39:55 <jflory7> I think linuxmodder wrote that bit, perhaps he has an idea about what was meant with that benefit.
02:40:01 <linuxmodder> one sec
02:40:08 <linuxmodder> which line again
02:40:20 <jflory7> linuxmodder: See cydrobolt's last message, he quoted it
02:40:26 <cydrobolt> jflory7, I think the article makes it seem like some type of internship/training program whereas it doesn't really introduce people to Linux or help them use Linux
02:40:43 <masta> being ambassador is fine....  campus even better
02:40:50 <jflory7> cydrobolt: I see... so then it could probably use some revisions then.
02:40:58 <jflory7> Okay, we have 20 minutes left for the meeting...
02:41:09 <linuxmodder> cydrobolt,  so the  experience  line?
02:41:11 <jflory7> I think we push this off to next week's meeting after revisions are made and check in?
02:41:21 <jflory7> I don't think we will publish before BrickHack
02:41:28 <cydrobolt> I think it's a good idea to help build communities in educational communities, but we should probably reword some things
02:41:34 <jflory7> It's better to get this exactly the way we want it before making a big change and promoting this
02:41:42 <masta> lol brickhack...
02:41:59 <jflory7> There's also support from CommOps / marketing to heavily promote this article too, so emphasis on getting it right before publishing
02:42:05 <jflory7> So, how about this:
02:42:18 <linuxmodder> cydrobolt,  noted will tag team with jflory7  and decause  this weekend and  next  week in prep for another vote next week
02:42:35 <nb> i didn't read it in-depth, but i skimmed the wiki page and it looks good so far
02:42:41 <jflory7> Proposal: Based on tonight's discussions, the Community Blog article and wiki scratchpad will be revised to better address some of tonight's concerns.
02:42:54 <jflory7> +1
02:42:54 <linuxmodder> +1
02:43:07 <jsandys> +1
02:43:08 <cydrobolt> +1
02:43:15 <juggler> +1
02:43:18 <linuxmodder> masta, ?
02:43:27 <nb> have we contacted other regions?
02:43:29 <masta> meh +0
02:43:34 <linuxmodder> nb,  in the ml
02:43:36 <nb> or do we just intend on it to be NA for now?
02:43:49 <nb> hmm, i thoughti  was signed up for the list
02:43:50 * nb looks
02:43:53 <linuxmodder> have not  seen much  action outside of  famna tho tbh
02:43:57 <jflory7> nb: Not as of yet, although there was a broadcast on the Ambassadors list. EMEA expressed interest in working on this too, though.
02:44:01 <nb> amb or campus amb?
02:44:03 <jflory7> #agreed Based on tonight's discussions, the Community Blog article and wiki scratchpad will be revised to better address some of tonight's concerns.
02:44:21 <jflory7> Anyways, we have two more tickets to cover tonight, so I think it is best to move on to these two tickets
02:44:21 <linuxmodder> campus  part  nb
02:44:32 <jflory7> #info === Ticket #139 ===
02:44:35 <jflory7> .famnaticket 139
02:44:37 <zodbot> jflory7: #139 (Bitcamp 2016 Spring Sponsorship Funds) – FAmNA General Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/139
02:44:44 <jflory7> cydrobolt: This one's all you. :)
02:44:52 <cydrobolt> thanks jflory7 :)
02:45:00 <cydrobolt> I heard back from Bitcamp
02:45:02 <jflory7> Anything else we wanted to address or vote on tonight?
02:45:09 <cydrobolt> They've sent us an invoice for $999
02:45:10 <juggler> Is ticket 392 anywhere in the mix?
02:45:14 <linuxmodder> RU is  your  school yes  ? jflory7
02:45:18 <masta> let it be funded!
02:45:20 <linuxmodder> or  RU =/= RIT
02:45:23 <jflory7> juggler: Hmm, link me to it really fast, it's not on the agenda tonight.
02:45:34 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Nope, RU is Rutgers University, I think?
02:45:41 <cydrobolt> nb, are we able to pay the invoice through your RH community card?
02:45:51 <nb> cydrobolt, i don't have a card
02:45:58 <cydrobolt> nb, ah, do you know who does?
02:46:00 <jflory7> cydrobolt: We're going to have to work with decause on this
02:46:00 <linuxmodder> If we can get the booth I'll staff it
02:46:01 <nb> inode0 is unavailable
02:46:03 <nb> he has a card
02:46:06 <jflory7> BrickHack invoice is still pending as well
02:46:09 <nb> cydrobolt, talk to ruth
02:46:15 <cydrobolt> okay
02:46:25 <linuxmodder> jflory7,  same ^^
02:46:28 <juggler> jflory7 https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/ticket/392#comment:13
02:46:28 <jflory7> I've been in loops for two weeks trying to get it wrapped up, and it's just now starting to finalize
02:46:37 <masta> we probably need to take back inode0 card
02:46:41 <jflory7> cydrobolt: Let's definitely check in with decause and see what he recommends now that Ruth is back from the land down under
02:46:42 <cydrobolt> #link https://cydrobolt.fedorapeople.org/08%20Fedora%20Bitcamp%20Invoice.pdf
02:46:50 <cydrobolt> okay
02:46:52 <nb> masta, we voted to ask for award3535 to get card
02:47:03 <masta> who has seen John Rose?
02:47:04 <cydrobolt> nb, is she able to pay through CC or check?
02:47:07 <jflory7> juggler: Oh, hmmm, I don't have privileges to view that ticket.
02:47:10 <cydrobolt> I think PO would be more difficult
02:47:20 <masta> nb,  fine by mee
02:47:41 <jflory7> cydrobolt: Outside of the invoice, did we want to vote on anything else tonight for Bitcamp?
02:47:51 <linuxmodder> login  nb
02:47:52 <masta> inode0 was reliable... bummer to see that go....
02:47:58 <cydrobolt> jflory7, when do we want to vote on transportation? maybe as the date gets closer?
02:48:02 <linuxmodder> or  jflory7   rather
02:48:08 <juggler> nb, might you be able to escalate ticket 392?
02:48:11 <cydrobolt> I think award usually wants the entire event budget to be planned out
02:48:18 <cydrobolt> rather than deferring certain aspects
02:48:20 <ParadoxGuitarist> juggler: award removed ruth from that ticket and added someone else
02:48:26 <linuxmodder> or not  I can't either  and I'm logged in
02:48:34 <ParadoxGuitarist> I'm guessing they have access to the paypal account to pay you
02:48:49 * ParadoxGuitarist doesn't have access.
02:48:51 <jflory7> cydrobolt: I agree, having everything planned out would be ideal. I have my travel costs on there but not hotel or food, etc.
02:49:03 <juggler> PG: yeah I saw that. there's been little movement on it since, though.
02:49:03 <masta> inode0 brought me into the project, so bummer
02:49:04 <cydrobolt> jflory7, I don't think you'll need a hotel
02:49:09 <cydrobolt> and I don't think food is covered
02:49:18 <cydrobolt> the event covers food**
02:49:20 <jflory7> cydrobolt: Hah, true, I could stay in at Bitcamp
02:49:26 <jflory7> Oh, excellent, Bitcamp covers that?
02:49:26 <ParadoxGuitarist> food isn't covered per the wiki
02:49:31 <cydrobolt> so we should only need transportation
02:49:34 <jflory7> That's very good info to know. cydrobolt, do you know that for sure?
02:49:35 <cydrobolt> jflory7, yes
02:49:37 <cydrobolt> jflory7, yes
02:49:42 <nb> juggler, email jzb@redhat and rsuehle@redhat and maybe cc decause@redhat
02:49:45 <juggler> food isn't covered, generally speaking
02:49:46 <cydrobolt> a hackathon without food isn't a hackathon :)
02:49:57 <masta> yeah.... you cover food
02:50:08 <masta> hack!
02:50:09 <cydrobolt> I've been to 10+ hackathons and have never encountered an event without food
02:50:09 <jflory7> #info Bitcamp covers participant's food as part of event sponsorship / entry
02:50:17 <nb> oh cool
02:50:21 <ParadoxGuitarist> juggler: I hope that helps
02:50:21 <cydrobolt> I sometimes leave the event venue and go get food on my own, but usually voluntary
02:50:22 <nb> if they cover it, then thats great :)
02:50:32 <juggler> PG and nb: thanks :)
02:50:34 <linuxmodder> crappy  food at times but never none
02:50:46 <jflory7> cydrobolt: I think the best thing we need to do now is finalize a list of people who may be interested in going and getting transportation costs worked out for sure.
02:50:47 <nb> I'm honestly not sure who is able to pay for stuff now
02:50:53 <cydrobolt> jflory7, cool, cool :)
02:50:55 <masta> why should fedora cover food?
02:50:56 <nb> I think jzb is taking over some of the stuff ruth did
02:51:02 <nb> but not sure
02:51:03 <cydrobolt> I'm likely planning to take Greyhound over there
02:51:05 <linuxmodder> I'm down for bitcamp
02:51:15 <cydrobolt> will likely be around $70 or less round trip
02:51:22 <nb> where is the bitcamp wiki page?
02:51:28 <cydrobolt> nb, let me fetch that for you
02:51:37 <cydrobolt> nb, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bitcamp_Spring_2016
02:51:47 <jflory7> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bitcamp_Spring_2016
02:51:54 * masta has to go...nini... all... out!\
02:52:02 <linuxmodder> I can  metro home (like $30 all three days  roundtrip )
02:52:15 <jflory7> juggler: I would follow nb's advice on follow up with an email to jzb, rsuehle, and decause
02:52:18 <linuxmodder> Its at  UMD
02:52:20 <nb> jflory7, just wondering what Misc is for on the travel subsidy request
02:52:25 <linuxmodder> like  40 miles  north of me
02:52:25 <nb> and plz remove the amount for food
02:52:26 <jflory7> masta: See you! Enjoy the rest of your evening!
02:52:29 * nb is +1 to all the rest
02:52:37 <jflory7> nb: At this point, it will probably be removed. My transportation cost should suffice
02:52:44 <nb> jflory7, ok
02:52:54 <nb> if there is other misc stuff, we can always approve it after the fact
02:53:05 <jflory7> #action jflory7 Update budget request for Bitcamp
02:53:18 <nb> do we want to go ahead and vote for cydrobolt and jflory7 travel?
02:53:25 <nb> and is hotel needed?
02:53:25 <cydrobolt> nb, I'm okay with that
02:53:28 <cydrobolt> no hotel needed
02:53:37 <jflory7> nb: Yeah -- cydrobolt, can you place the total costs for Bitcamp transporation in channel?
02:53:42 <linuxmodder> shouldn't BUT if so let me  know  folks
02:53:51 <linuxmodder> I know local hotel chains corporate
02:53:52 * ParadoxGuitarist needs to jet
02:53:55 <juggler> jflory7/nb/PG: e-mail sent! *fingers crossed*
02:54:00 <ParadoxGuitarist> good meeting all
02:54:06 <jflory7> See you later, ParadoxGuitarist!
02:54:09 <jflory7> Thanks for coming out tonight.
02:54:10 <cydrobolt> Greyhound prices fluctuate from day to day, but I'll say $60 for now, although it will likely be less
02:54:20 <cydrobolt> ParadoxGuitarist, thank you for coming :) have a good evening
02:54:27 <juggler> well all, i'll be running to my next meeting. take care!
02:54:27 <jflory7> cydrobolt: So roughly $120 for the two of us, right?
02:54:28 <linuxmodder> megabus is  like  $40 / one way
02:54:38 <nb> cydrobolt, if it is a reasonable difference, just do it
02:54:44 <cydrobolt> yeah
02:54:46 <nb> even if it is higher
02:54:48 <jflory7> linuxmodder: I've got a discount on Greyhound with a Student Advantage card
02:54:59 <linuxmodder> well use it   punk :)
02:55:03 <jflory7> Proposal: Approving transportation funds for cydrobolt and jflory7: ~$120 (tentative to ticket fluctuation)
02:55:09 <nb> +1
02:55:12 <linuxmodder> +!
02:55:15 <jflory7> linuxmodder: I did, screenshotted the price in the wiki ;)
02:55:17 <linuxmodder> 1*
02:55:18 <jsandys> +1
02:55:18 <juggler> +1
02:55:19 <cydrobolt> +1
02:55:32 <jflory7> #agreed Approving transportation funds for cydrobolt and jflory7: ~$120 (tentative to ticket price fluctuation)
02:55:40 <jflory7> Okay, now last ticket for tonight, should be a fast one
02:55:50 <jflory7> #info === Ticket #131 ===
02:55:53 <jflory7> .famnaticket 131
02:55:54 <linuxmodder> that's brickhack right'?
02:55:55 <zodbot> jflory7: #131 (BrickHack 2016) – FAmNA General Trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/131
02:55:58 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Yep
02:56:18 <linuxmodder> you have banners so what is  left?
02:56:18 <nb> #info nb withdraws request to go to BrickHack 2016
02:56:30 <linuxmodder> no travel or  schedule?
02:56:36 <jflory7> #info decause and jflory7 attended the BrickHack organizer's meeting on Tuesday and solidified plans for details of the Open Source track, prizes ideas, and other organizational ideas
02:56:53 <jflory7> #info jsmith contributed three different BlueHost hosting plans to the prize pool
02:56:55 <nb> jflory7, is prize budget expected to be sufficient?
02:57:05 <jflory7> #info decause rounded up some OpenSource.com merchandise
02:57:23 <jflory7> nb: I think so, we're looking at ordering MakeyMakey kits, Raspberry Pis, and decause was going to round up some other goodies.
02:57:33 <juggler> yeah!
02:57:44 <jflory7> linuxmodder: I believe decause is going under the RH ticket, and cprofitt and I are local
02:57:53 <linuxmodder> ah
02:58:01 <linuxmodder> was more toward  nb
02:58:02 <jflory7> The only one who would be traveling would be MarkDude, and we haven't heard anything about his pricing on tickets
02:58:12 <jflory7> At this point, it's too late to get him here
02:58:32 <jflory7> So really it will just be locals. There's a few other Red Hatters in the area who may be helping as mentors for the Open Source track
02:58:34 <nb> linuxmodder, schedule conflict, lack of vacation days, etc
02:58:40 <linuxmodder> ah
02:58:42 <linuxmodder> feel that
02:59:14 <jflory7> #info No travel costs since all attendees are local (exception: decause); other local Red Hatters should be in attendance and helping as Open Source track mentors
02:59:28 <jflory7> #info Everything is looking set for an awesome BrickHack!
02:59:35 <jflory7> That's all from me about BrickHack.
02:59:40 <jflory7> Nothing to really vote on as of now...
02:59:48 <jflory7> Anyone have questions, comments, suggestions?
02:59:49 <linuxmodder> and there is the 1 hour  buzzer :)
03:00:04 <jflory7> Otherwise we can go to an Open Floor for any quick backburner discussions anyone may have
03:00:12 <jflory7> Or just close out for the evening.
03:00:14 <nb> me has something for open floor
03:00:18 <jflory7> Cool.
03:00:20 <nb> /
03:00:23 <jflory7> BrickHack, going once--
03:00:23 <linuxmodder> open floor  >  -ambassadors ?
03:00:29 <nb> no
03:00:29 <jflory7> Going twice--
03:00:30 <nb> on the record
03:00:39 <jflory7> linuxmodder: There's nobody waiting to use the channel, so we're good to stay here.
03:00:41 <jflory7> Going thrice--
03:00:42 <nb> #topic open floor
03:00:45 <jflory7> #topic === Open Floor ===
03:00:47 <jflory7> Whoops!
03:00:49 <nb> oops
03:00:54 <jflory7> No worries. :)
03:00:55 * juggler is departing. Night all!
03:00:59 <jflory7> Good night, juggler!
03:01:00 <nb> #info pen vendor accidentally ordered us 3,000 pens
03:01:02 <jflory7> Thanks for coming out.
03:01:04 <linuxmodder> night juggler
03:01:07 <jflory7> nb: Ah, yeah...
03:01:12 <nb> they are in transit from StabbyMc to the regional shippers
03:01:21 <jsandys> How can we get more speakers to the conferences?
03:01:36 <nb> they have offered to let us keep the extra 1,000 for a discount (to be determined how much discount)
03:01:37 <jflory7> jsandys: Hmm, what conferences, or do you mean in general?
03:01:39 <nb> and pay for them later
03:01:41 <linuxmodder> jsandys,  which ones?
03:01:51 * nb proposes we keep them, pay them $990 for the 2,000 we agreed on
03:02:00 <nb> and pay them whatever for the other 1,000 in Q2
03:02:01 <jflory7> nb: Okay... hopefully that will work out well. Really a big mess-up on their end to have shipped the wrong amount
03:02:07 <jsandys> all in general, LFNW specifically
03:02:17 <linuxmodder> +1  to nb propr
03:02:26 <nb> $990 out of Q1 FY2017 and $400 or so (TBD how much discount) in Q2 FYE2017
03:02:34 <jsandys> Adam W is the only 'fedorian' to offer a talk
03:02:37 <jflory7> nb: I'm +1 to paying for the original quoted amount for the time being
03:02:51 <jflory7> jsandys: I think taking advantage of Fedora CommOps might help us get some more interested speakers. When is LFNW again?
03:03:04 <nb> other option is they will send a call tag to have UPS come pick up the remaining 1,000
03:03:16 <nb> jflory7, what do you think we should do with remaining 1k?
03:03:20 <linuxmodder> out  here folks
03:03:23 <nb> we usually order 3k
03:03:33 <nb> we just ordered 2 because of 1k limit
03:03:34 <jflory7> linuxmodder: Enjoy the rest of your evening!
03:03:51 <jflory7> nb: So... we pay for the last bit at the end of this upcoming quarter?
03:04:00 <jflory7> Which is basically around autumn... right?
03:04:12 <nb> jflory7, this quarter is march-april-may
03:04:20 <nb> so pay for the other 1k in early june
03:04:21 <jflory7> Okay, so June or so
03:04:32 <jflory7> Right, guess I'm a little bit tired... that's why they're called quarters...
03:04:35 <jflory7> :P
03:04:51 <jflory7> nb: I'm tentatively saying that would work well, but I think decause is probably your best point of contact for a definite answer
03:04:51 <jsandys> pens are good swag, and they are not dated
03:05:10 <jsandys> +1 take the discount on the extra pens
03:05:13 <nb> they will invoice them separately
03:05:17 <jflory7> nb: I see
03:05:18 <nb> and getting a discount is good
03:05:25 <nb> so I say we go ahead and vote to do it
03:05:31 <jflory7> I mean... it all sounds like a good solution to me.
03:05:31 <nb> 2k pens now, 1k pens Q2
03:05:54 <jflory7> I'm just tentative to take a vote since a lot of others already left and decause isn't here
03:06:05 <nb> decause, and jzb said we needed to vote at amb meeting
03:06:10 <jflory7> Ah, shoot
03:06:15 <jflory7> Okay, then we'll have to do this now then
03:06:17 <nb> crap, linuxmodder left too
03:06:43 * nb thinks this is only solution that makes sense really.  i see no point of sending the pens back, and really need to get vendor an answer
03:06:54 <jflory7> Proposed: Pay for original 2,000 pens ordered for this quarter; keep remaining pens and pay for the rest in Q2
03:06:57 <nb> +1
03:06:57 <jflory7> +1
03:07:02 <jsandys> +1
