<HardDisk> Pronco you there? *** Cyb0rg is now known as Guest20646 <HardDisk> sup guys <pfui> you're presuming that somebody's awake and paying attention to irc... <pfui> yesterday's event was pretty good btw <thelinuxer> I am awake <thelinuxer> pfui: ur right, i enjoyed it too :) <HardDisk> btw..Im really bad with names..I forgot the girl that was with us, I want the photos from her so I can select what to post <HardDisk> I already have my photos ready, and some turned out really nice <pfui> so.. when's the next event? <pfui> hopefully sometime before the next release <HardDisk> Well we need to discuss it first. <HardDisk> Cause I want it to be a bit more fun. <HardDisk> as in, a few competitions <HardDisk> get people to win tshirts and prizes etc. <HardDisk> that's what im going to talk about with ahmed from fixitsolutions about sponsorship <HardDisk> First I want to go to their location and check out their premises <HardDisk> He talked a lot with me yesterday, and to be honest I've learned being in Egypt not to listen to a lot of chatter, so I will go and see whether they are legit and whether they are really becoming canonical partners or not. <pfui> lol <pfui> would the canonical badge of approval matter for anything? <pfui> save for marketing efforts? <HardDisk> I didn't notice that. <HardDisk> In any case, I have a lot of points to discuss <HardDisk> oh btw, thelinuxer, I also want to discuss about the financial issues when you guys make these events <HardDisk> as in for example the tshirts, did you pay for it all by yourself, or was it shared. <HardDisk> if we're going to work as a team, I think at least I need to know how exactly is the effort being shared around. <thelinuxer> HardDisk: yes i paid for the T-Shirts <thelinuxer> HardDisk: and the CD stickers <thelinuxer> HardDisk: but the rest was shared <HardDisk> hmmm <HardDisk> ok, it's not fair for one person to handle expenses for such items. <HardDisk> you need to be reimbursed by splitting up these expenses <thelinuxer> HardDisk: It's ok, i wanted to give some gifts to our team members <thelinuxer> HardDisk: akeed <thelinuxer> in the future isA <HardDisk> btw, just wanted to say it was nice to meet all of you. <thelinuxer> HardDisk: I am glad u came :) <HardDisk> heheeh yea I had my hands full also :D <thelinuxer> btw sponsorship is not that gr8 in Egypt <HardDisk> next time you guys have a meeting I'll try to come also, cause I have a few issues I want to bring up in the agendas <thelinuxer> sure <HardDisk> dont worry about the sponsorship, I can handle that. <thelinuxer> ya reeeeeeet <HardDisk> I used to work as head technical support for CompuMe, and I still have some contacts there..ya3ni law manfi3sh ma3 one company, fee another etc. <HardDisk> the next meeting, I guess i'll want to at least get a better understanding of the team <thelinuxer> yes akeed feeh, bas it will take a lot of work to find this company <thelinuxer> what do u to understand about the team :D > <thelinuxer> ? <HardDisk> Well i understood that the people that gave the sessions did 90% of the work :) <HardDisk> and that 20% of those 90% did the organizing :) <thelinuxer> ok, and ... <HardDisk> it was a bit unorganized from the end guys handling the guests <HardDisk> people would come in and pass through, the secretaries sometimes would just not bother calling out for them to sign in <HardDisk> so I'd have to get them to sign in <HardDisk> the "presentation" videos were def not prepared <thelinuxer> lol ! secretaries ! <HardDisk> people didnt understand some of the videos presented <thelinuxer> was there any audio with the videos ? <thelinuxer> we had an audio problem, was it ever fixed ? <HardDisk> I was sort of surprised to see stephen fry on one of the videos, he's a british celebrity that I know <HardDisk> yea...the audio part was just pointless. <HardDisk> it was fixed by getting speakers <HardDisk> but the presentation was too close to the instructional installation session there was a bit of a clash <thelinuxer> yes i understand <thelinuxer> it was a gr8 to get the place organized for the sessions <thelinuxer> it's not prepared for this purpose <HardDisk> I got that part :) <HardDisk> the good thing is that im glad people were interested <thelinuxer> we didn't have enough electricity sockets <thelinuxer> yeah sure <HardDisk> meaning, that people came to ask me about you guys by name. <bahaa2008> thelinuxer, http://eglug.org/node/3903 <HardDisk> or by the session type. <thelinuxer> some people were interested in getting the CDs <thelinuxer> although they didn't know what we were talking about <HardDisk> there is a spelling mistake. <HardDisk> their. <thelinuxer> bahaa2008: ezayyak :) ?
