21:22 < scott_ev> I wonder where matthew is
21:23 < johnc4510> don't know
21:23 < johnc4510> ok, so...installfest
21:23 < kennymc0> still looking for the old flier
21:23 < johnc4510> we really can't make too many plans until i find out about the bulk cd shipments
21:23 < johnc4510> i've been asking, and so have other team leaders
21:23 < kennymc0> ok here it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=740610
21:24 < johnc4510> jono says he's working on it
21:24 < johnc4510> kennymc0: thx
21:24 < xHans> please also add info for the release parties as well as the monthly Installfest to your calendar :)
21:24 < scott_ev> Jono needs to step up
21:24 < kennymc0> i dont think we need the actual cds to make plans. we can still plan for the event and plan to make a few cds just in case we dont get the bulk shipment in time
21:24 < kennymc0> which is most likely going to be the case
21:25 < kennymc0> just my 2 cents worth
21:25 < johnc4510> xHans: Evening and we will
21:25 < kennymc0> and for the install fest we can hand out the old cds still
21:25 < johnc4510> kennymc0: we can take a cd or a usb for the new release and let folks use them if they need it
21:25 < kennymc0> there are a lot of people that steer clear of anything but an LTS
21:25 < xHans> if the CDs don't show up, then we can do it again next month and title it something like, "This time with CDs...and feeling"
21:25 < johnc4510> but don't burn a bunch of cds
21:26 < slofgren> kennymc0: for good reason
21:26 < kennymc0> i know slofgren
21:26 < xHans> yeah, LTS release needs big media event release parties
21:26 < johnc4510> kennymc0: yep
21:26 < slofgren> ubuntu drops the off in quality inbetween LTS versions
21:26 < scott_ev> hmmm
21:27 < johnc4510> xHans: you have announcements...fingers could use a breat
21:27 < johnc4510> break
21:27 < johnc4510> lol
21:27 < kennymc0> they try to put all the shiny stuff in so that they can get us to debug it for the next lts
21:27 < xHans> johnc4510: ok
21:27 < kennymc0> :)

21:30 < johnc4510> ok, for future consideration

21:30 < johnc4510> xHans: k
21:30 < xHans> cool
21:30 < johnc4510> http://knowledge76.com/index.php/76er_Program
21:31 < xHans> system 76++
21:31 < johnc4510> we would have to have the template done in advance
21:31 < xHans> but does that make them system 77?
21:31 < scott_ev> 78
21:31 < johnc4510> nah
21:31 < johnc4510> just a sponsor of the event
21:31 < johnc4510> like if red seven did it for plug or us
21:32 < johnc4510> it would save us having to expend our personal paper and ink to get it done
21:32 < johnc4510> thoughts?
21:32 < johnc4510> good bad ??
21:32 < johnc4510> lol
21:32 < tyche> I'd have to look at what they have to offer.
21:33 < johnc4510> yeah
21:33 < johnc4510> i think it's worth looking into
21:33 < tyche> I'd heard about the plan, earlier, when we were working on the UWN.
21:33 < tyche> I'd heard about the plan, earlier, when we were working on the UWN.

21:33 < johnc4510> k
21:33 < tyche> I'll take a look when I have some time, and let you know tomorrow.
21:34 < scott_ev> it would require more advanced planning than we normally have
21:34 < johnc4510> hmmm, seems like there was something else but that's all in my notes
