20:01 < kital> any news from latam which we should cover
20:01 < kital> it seems we are alone today
20:01 < kital> who else is here for famsco meeting
20:02 < tatica> everyone is working on the release parties
20:02 < kital> how far are we with a new Mentor for Latam?
20:02 < tatica> and I will try to give 2 video-conferences for some
parties (peru and colombia)
20:02 < kital> wow cool
20:03 < tatica> this months has been calm, everyone is setting
everything for the parties; so is nice
20:03 < kital> can you give me a short status update about the status of
fudcon latam 2011?
20:03 < tatica> but what gives me a worry is the fudcon latam
20:04 < tatica> yes,
20:04 < kital> i saw that jared is involved in the planing
20:04 < tatica> we are waiting a meeting of famsco and the board (or
whoever needs/can to help) to decide
20:04 < tatica> all the data is already done
20:04 < kital> so here we are
20:04 < tatica> and we need to hurry because the date depends of some
support for one of the locations
20:05 < kital> so what is it what famsco has to deliver?
20:05 < kital> to push this?
20:05 < tatica> the location
20:05 < tatica> based on the bids
20:06 < kital>
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fudcon-planning/2010-October/001333.html
20:07 < tatica> yes, I'm following that thread
20:07 < tatica> but even so, famsco needs to make a decition with the
board and the rest that must get involved
20:09 < kital> what do you think can this solved over the famsco mailing
list?
20:10 < tatica> I think that must be solved by the mail list
20:10 < kital> tatica: i only see 2 bids
20:11 < kital> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:LATAM_2011_Bid_Panama
20:11 < kital> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:LATAM_2011_Bid_Foz
20:11 < tatica> because we haven't been able to have a meeting with all
the famsco members
20:11 < tatica> no
20:11 < tatica> there are 5
20:11 < tatica> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:LATAM_2011  <==
bottom page
20:11 < tatica>     *   Panamá     * Foz do Iguaçu - Brasil     * Porto
Alegre - Brasil     * Valparaíso - Chile
20:11 < tatica> the chile proposal claims 2 locations
20:12 < tatica> valparaiso and viña del mar
20:12 < tatica> so that makes it 5 bids
20:11 < tatica> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:LATAM_2011  <==
bottom page
20:11 < tatica>     *   Panamá     * Foz do Iguaçu - Brasil     * Porto
Alegre - Brasil     * Valparaíso - Chile
20:11 < tatica> the chile proposal claims 2 locations
20:12 < tatica> valparaiso and viña del mar
20:12 < tatica> so that makes it 5 bids
20:12 < kital> this would be the first time famsco is involved in
choosing the location
20:13 < kital> so what decission shouls famsco make different from the board
20:13 < tatica> I think that due the case, is needed
20:13 < kital> because the situation in latam?
20:13 < tatica> people down here isn't thinking on latam as group to
select the location
20:13 < tatica> instead, only thinks on the budget that can be assigned,
their own countries and the people that can be invited
20:14 < tatica> yes
20:15 < kital> i will write something to have a decission till the next
meeting
20:15 < inode0> is there a meeting this week?
20:15 < kital> you saw that max will not attend
20:16 < tatica> the 2 las fudcon in latam hasn't been too clear
20:16 < tatica> inode0: :****** I miss you :(
20:16 < kital> inode0: it should but it is only tatica and me
20:17 < kital> inode0: so it seems just some informal things
20:17 < inode0> smooge and I have a Nov. 1 deadline likely to get into
Comic-Con ... so we'd like that considered before then if it hasn't been
please
20:18 < kital> yeah i saw that funny ticket
20:18 < tatica> o0
20:19 < inode0> it was also a serious ticket :)
20:20 < kital> susmit pushed ke4qqq and spevack
20:20 < kital> inode0: what do you think will be the cost overal
20:20 < tatica> comic-con.... really?
20:21 < kital> inode0: is 500$ enough ?
20:22 < inode0> $210 tickets, 2 plane tickets (maybe $700), 1 hotel room
(don't have any idea but I'd guess fairly normal hotel prices)
20:22 < kital> inode0: so we speak about 1200$
20:22 < rbergeron> during comic con? dont they jack them up?
20:23  * rbergeron is all jello :(
20:23 < inode0> well, probably but at the same time they transport
people from everywhere so we wouldn't likely be within walking distance
20:23 < kital> inode0: "might exhibit enough without the booth, or might
join with other superheroes to split a booth"
20:24 < kital> inode0: is this ok with the organizers of the comic con
20:24 < kital> ?
20:24 < kital> hi rbergeron
20:24 < inode0> yes, they have booths but we don't think we would want
to be tied to one the whole time
20:24 < inode0> yes, sharing booth space is allowed
20:25 < kital> and you need this decission in the next days - before 01.Nov
20:26 < inode0> the event is a very long time away - FAmNA probably
would help out, since this is an unusual event I thought I'd start with
FAmSCo
20:26 < inode0> we just need the conference registration before Nov 1 -
iirc that was $210
20:26 < kital> understood
20:26 < inode0> if we can't get that part the rest isn't happening
20:27 < kital> the event is in July 20, 2011
20:28 < inode0> yes
20:29 < kital> i will request a vote from famsco via ml - i tend to
support this idea
20:30 < inode0> thanks
