I'm ready to go! 01:08:17 <StabbyMc> I don't know of any other upcoming events, anyone else got anything that's maybe not on the events page? 01:08:39 <PhrkOnLsh> if anyone knows anyone who is interested, however, could they please point them to the schedule at http://ableconf.com/node/44 01:09:10 <StabbyMc> #topic NA Budget Review 01:09:30 <StabbyMc> So I'm guessing not a whole lot has changed for budget. 01:09:42 <StabbyMc> One of the items brought up in the last meeting was window clings 01:10:03 <StabbyMc> I'm waiting on some samples, but have some basic pricing, and it looks good as long as the product looks good. 01:10:38 <VileGent> so do we need to file a ticket with the design team?? 01:11:01 <StabbyMc> I can do that, I should have samples of clings in another week or so. 01:11:03 <inode0> not for a logo 01:12:06 <StabbyMc> So I'm thinking next meeting I'll have firm pricing and some ideas on what they should look like, which we can discuss. 01:12:50 <StabbyMc> So far we've talked about using the Virtical Finity + fedora tag. 01:13:12 <StabbyMc> Who else has bugetary items? 01:13:27 <StabbyMc> budgetary even 01:13:34 <sseiersen> Evil Robot Conference? 01:13:50 * sseiersen does not get that one 01:14:01 <StabbyMc> Why am I dubious that it's not a real conference? 01:14:21 <sseiersen> Hey, it's in the budget :P 01:14:28 <Grantbow__> lol 01:14:36 <PhrkOnLsh> http://evilrobotconference.wordpress.com/ <-- 01:15:17 <StabbyMc> Interesting! 01:15:22 <StabbyMc> But in the past ;-) 01:16:04 <StabbyMc> #topic NA Task list 01:16:26 <StabbyMc> I don't remember there being outstanding task items from last meeting 01:16:34 <StabbyMc> Anyone got new task items? 01:16:41 <inode0> just to start using the task list :) 01:17:08 <StabbyMc> inode0: heresy! 01:17:23 <StabbyMc> #topic NA Open Floor 01:17:32 <StabbyMc> That brings us to the last topic, open floor. 01:17:59 <inode0> don't ambassadors do anything? 15 minutes is unheard of! 01:18:15 <VileGent> inode0, nope nothing at all 01:18:28 <lcameron> go forth an download 12 beta! 01:18:32 <inode0> I have two items I'd like to mention 01:18:37 <crossbytes> u have 2 be kidding all over? 01:18:43 <StabbyMc> Fudcon? 01:19:19 <sseiersen> FUDBus? 01:19:23 <inode0> Tonight is the last meeting for now where I'll be the regular moderator 01:19:30 <inode0> And I only lasted 10 seconds! 01:19:51 <sseiersen> Quick replacement :) 01:19:51 <inode0> But I have a smile on my face about that and other things 01:19:51 * nb needs to email the professor that's the head of AITP at his college 01:20:01 * nb may be able to be the speaker at one of the meetings 01:20:33 <nb> I have some F11 media and can burn some F12 if it is released by then 01:20:35 <inode0> It has been a good year for me and I hope the next person finds it rewarding in when looking back on it 01:20:51 <StabbyMc> inode0: I throw lizard! 01:20:52 <VileGent> inode0, i for one would like to thank you for time and donation of your service 01:21:21 <StabbyMc> agreed inode0: excellent moderation :-) 01:21:36 <sseiersen> +10 01:21:38 <inode0> the second item I wanted to bring up is that I plan to propose at some point a NA Fedora Ambassadors Day 01:22:02 <inode0> probably for some time after winter leaves 01:22:08 <StabbyMc> which would include what? 01:22:24 <StabbyMc> BSD, er, Fedora booth babes? 01:22:26 <inode0> we should as a group begin thinking about what we would like to accomplish at such an event 01:22:52 <inode0> our last one gave us direction which we've been following for a year now 01:23:05 <StabbyMc> Is this an in person meeting? 01:23:13 <inode0> I think it is getting to be time to begin some new initiatives 01:23:28 <inode0> rather than stay on autopilot 01:23:42 <inode0> yes, this would be an in person event for ambassadors 01:23:56 <inode0> probably a couple of days 01:24:12 <sseiersen> preferably not in Toronto :) 01:24:30 <inode0> I have an idea for the location, but that isn't terribly important yet 01:24:47 <inode0> What we can accomplish is the important part 01:25:09 <inode0> So please start giving it some thought, we aren't going to decide anything tonight 01:25:20 <sseiersen> Will do 01:25:28 <inode0> Where do we want to see FAmNA in a year or two? 01:26:10 <StabbyMc> #info Let the minutes reflect that inode0 is in favor of a NA Ambassadors meeting to determine the direction of the ambassadors program for the next couple of years, so start thinking 01:26:49 <makfinsky> Dang it... makfinsky here late... 01:26:50 <crossbytes> where should we post .. to the list? 01:27:15 <inode0> yes, the mailing list would be a good place to discuss this 01:27:40 <inode0> I'll send a message there to get the discussion rolling 01:27:52 <StabbyMc> maybe we put it on the task list or agenda for meetings going forward? 01:28:00 <inode0> We'll see how many me-too's we can generate :) 01:28:37 <inode0> StabbyMc: you don't need permission :) 01:28:54 <StabbyMc> Ah, by we, I meant you ;-) 01:29:10 <StabbyMc> But I can do it too. 01:29:17 <StabbyMc> Any other open floor items? 01:30:31 <StabbyMc> 5 01:30:43 <StabbyMc> 4 01:30:47 <StabbyMc> 3 01:30:52 <StabbyMc> 2 01:30:56 <makfinsky> None here. 01:30:58 <StabbyMc> 1 01:31:02 <StabbyMc> #endmeeting
