21 [03:03] <pleia2> Darkwing: thanks for bringing along all the booth stuff, the raffle was very fun :)
22 [03:04] <Ttech> My photos! http://j.mp/yaS1RC
23 [03:04] <akk> For the record, I agree on SCALE's awesomeness. :)
24 [03:04] <Darkwing> sweet! ill talk to oreally again for next year
25 [03:04] * philipballew still has free tshirts to wear
26 [03:04] <Ttech> I second akk statement.
27 [03:04] <Darkwing> lol
28 [03:05] <Ttech> philipballew, Still got tuxy?
29 [03:05] <pleia2> we gave out about 450 Ubuntu CDs, and 40 or so of Server and Kubuntu
30 [03:05] <Darkwing> phil, you made out on the t shirts
31 [03:05] <philipballew> sittin right above me
32 [03:05] <pleia2> so next year we'll definitely ask Canonical again for a shipment just for the conference :)
33 [03:05] <philipballew> total tshirt count was 24
34 [03:05] <Darkwing> yup
35 [03:05] <pleia2> anything we could have done better?
36 [03:06] <Ttech> Not sure, it was a pretty crazy booth
37 [03:06] <Ttech> but perhaps more updated stickers and magazines? (if you can manage that)
38 [03:06] <pleia2> yeah, we were pretty non-stop busy
39 [03:06] <Darkwing> bigger room for ubucon
40 [03:06] <eps> +1
41 [03:06] <pleia2> more stickers would be good, I think we had 20 sheets and even cut up into 3 pieces they went fast
42 [03:06] <philipballew> we could have got more peoples information maybe like by scanning them?
43 [03:07] <pleia2> we got updated magazines from the Ubuntu User folks later in the conference
44 [03:07] <pleia2> (we wanted to get rid of the old ones early on, that's why we had them :))
45 [03:07] <Ttech> You guys don't even need to crazy QR scanners they had, just a cell phone or web cam.
46 [03:07] <jtatum> Wow
47 [03:07] <Darkwing> i think a better booth build would be good
48 [03:08] <pleia2> "better booth build"?
49 [03:08] <Darkwing> that table is wayyyyyy too full
50 [03:08] <Darkwing> more table space,
51 [03:08] <Darkwing> ill draft up a couple ideas
52 [03:08] <pleia2> cool
53 [03:09] <Ttech> I don't know if they allow it, but maybe two tables?
54 [03:09] <Darkwing> ill see what i can pull. :)
55 [03:09] <philipballew> The table had the right amount of stuff on it I felt, but Maybe a few ideas would never hurt
56 [03:09] <Ttech> If you guys snagged a second table - you could have people helping at one and the regular booth at the other
57 [03:10] <Ttech> It might really expand the horizon for Ubuntu + Ubuntu CA
58 [03:10] <Ttech> If you guys don't mind. I mean personally that is fun for me, but I'm not technically a member of either ubuntu or ubuntu ca (yet)
59 [03:10] <Darkwing> i have some crazy ideas
60 [03:10] <pleia2> I think we'd have to get some more volunteers if we did more debugging at the table
61 [03:10] <eps> Who chooses our location? Unlike most of the room, our entire row wasn't particularly well lit. I almost wish we had a bunch of LED tea lights.
62 [03:10] <pleia2> eps: we're assigned a spot by scale staff
63 [03:10] <Darkwing> eps ill see if i can fix that for next year
64 [03:11] <pleia2> I was really tired at the end of the weekend, only managed to get to a handful of talks, and we didn't offer debugging this year
65 [03:11] <Darkwing> i was drained after that too lol
66 [03:12] <pleia2> haha, did you sleep at all? :)
67 [03:12] <Darkwing> 4 hours for the weekend. thurs - mon
68 [03:12] <Darkwing> :D
69 [03:13] <pleia2> well, it was a great weekend, thanks to everyone who helped out at the booth, I think jbermudes was there more than anyone :)
70 [03:13] <Darkwing> aye
