  16 [03:07] <philipballew> alright I have put in some work for scale and I would like to tell what work I have put into it, what the booth would look like, and how we can get people to help
  17 [03:08] <philipballew> SO I have managed to get Pearson books to send me between 20-30 copies of the official ubuntu book to hand out
  18 [03:09] <philipballew> I have contacted Sysmem 76 and they are going to bring a computer for us to have on the table so we do not have to use our own.
  19 [03:10] <jtatum> nice!
  20 [03:10] <philipballew> Also I am getting a conference pack sent to me soon from Canonical for the thing.
  21 [03:10] <philipballew> Now we need booth volunteers.
  22 [03:10] <Darkwing> Talk to Zareason, they sent me a laptop for Ohio Linux Fest, and I was only there for a half day.
  23 [03:11] <philipballew> Darkwing, these places are usually really cool with that
  24 [03:11]  * grantbow adds the wiki page to Projects
  25 [03:11] <philipballew> at the bottom of the wiki is where you can out your name. put your name there and then email me so you can get a code to register.
  26 [03:11] <philipballew> I should have the registration packet soon.
  27 [03:12] <philipballew> were about 5 weeks out
  28 [03:12] <philipballew> on the Wiki is a wiki for hotel share and ride share.
  29 [03:13] <philipballew> hopefully someone can use these
  30 [03:13] <grantbow> good work Philip :-)
  31 [03:13] <eps> Airfares from the Bay Area are no bargain at the moment -- ~$192 (but the weekends are usually the worst times to be shopping for travel)
  32 [03:13] <philipballew> Mege bus is nice
  33 [03:13] <philipballew> *mega bus
  34 [03:13] <philipballew> there about 25 each way last time Iooked
  35 [03:14] <philipballew> *I looked
  36 [03:14]  * Darkwing wishes he had $500 laying around to fly out
  37 [03:14]  * grantbow too
  38 [03:14] <philipballew> now I am not sure where these places stop and get off, however maybe someone from la can pick up these people if they need a ride.
  39 [03:15] <philipballew> as LA is a big place
  40 [03:16] <philipballew> currently working to make sure all booth workers have a few nice gifts to go home with as well.
  41 [03:16] <philipballew> We do not pay, but we hand out free stuff.
  42 [03:17] <eps> How many free T-shirts did you bring home last year? ;-)
  43 [03:17] <philipballew> 29!
  44 [03:18] <philipballew> southwest usually has good flight deals
  45 [03:19] <philipballew> thats the best I have ever found
  46 [03:19] <philipballew> eps, do you see yourself coming in Feb?
  47 [03:20] <philipballew> currently I see 69 dollars there on sw and 69 back assuming you leave sf thursday and come back monday
  48 [03:21] <eps> Probably. I prefer to fly, but Greyhound Express and Megabus are both viable possibilities. I like to minimize hotel stays, since they represent the major expense involved.
