10 Sep 27 19:59:17 <BillN1VUX> and bigger than 60 px x 180 px
11 Sep 27 19:59:54 <bfallik> probably both
12 Sep 27 19:59:59 <Killeroid> lol, i was thinking you were talking, a real life banner

14 Sep 27 20:00:05 <BillN1VUX> he is
15 Sep 27 20:01:14 <Killeroid> hows the attendance?
16 Sep 27 20:01:35 <bfallik> 13 or so
17 Sep 27 20:01:37 <bfallik> so good
18 Sep 27 20:03:31 <Killeroid> so whats the news on the installfest? how many people are we expecting, how long is it going to be? how are we advertising it?
19 Sep 27 20:05:44 <bfallik> Killeroid: i'll ask your questions when we're talking about it
20 Sep 27 20:06:01 <leftyfb> http://www.prleap.com/pr/94897/
21 Sep 27 20:06:14 <bfallik> but my guess is - we don't know how many people exactly
22 Sep 27 20:07:23 <Killeroid> bfallik: ok, thanks, i am going stick around and so any big news, just post in the channel
23 Sep 27 20:07:36 <bfallik> Killeroid: ok
24 Sep 27 20:08:10 <bfallik> for advertising, we're going to canvas local universities - MIT, Brandeis, etc.
25 Sep 27 20:08:32 <Killeroid> mhm
26 Sep 27 20:27:21 <bfallik> http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cps/434046763.html
27 Sep 27 20:46:06 <maccam94> what about contacting the globe?
28 Sep 27 20:46:19 <maccam94> or other newspapers
29 Sep 27 20:46:55 <maccam94> are we having any guest speakers at the event?
30 Sep 27 20:47:00 <maccam94> anyone from the OLPC project?
31 Sep 27 20:48:21 <bfallik> i don't believe anyone has contacted hte globe
32 Sep 27 20:48:27 <bfallik> or any other newspapers
33 Sep 27 20:48:44 <bfallik> We believe some OLPC guys will be joining us
34 Sep 27 20:49:07 <bfallik> And rumor has it Mako is delivering a presentation on ????
35 Sep 27 20:50:21 <Killeroid> if we could get one of the OLPC to make a presentation, that would make the whole installfest more newsworthy for the newspapers
36 Sep 27 20:52:02 <bfallik> no one from OLPC wants to do an OLPC presentation
37 Sep 27 20:53:07 <bfallik> but leftyfb enquired into it
38 Sep 27 20:53:44 <Killeroid> who is Mako and what is he delivering a presentation on?
39 Sep 27 20:54:19 <bfallik> Mako: http://mako.cc/
40 Sep 27 20:54:20 <maccam94> mako is an important linux guy, i think he (used to be?) is an ubuntu developer
41 Sep 27 20:54:25 <bfallik> he wants to speak on Ubuntu
42 Sep 27 20:54:31 <maccam94> he also does stuff for debian
43 Sep 27 20:54:35 <maccam94> goes to MIT methinks
44 Sep 27 20:54:44 <Killeroid> ok
45 Sep 27 20:55:22 <maccam94> an interview about the state of linux + info about the installfest could be a neat thing to go in next week's science + technology section
46 Sep 27 20:55:50 <bfallik> gutsy release party at The Globe: http://boston.citysearch.com/profile/4730129/boston_ma/globe_bar_cafe.html
47 Sep 27 20:56:47 <maccam94> haha, not the globe i mentioned earlier, but is that our real decision?
48 Sep 27 20:57:02 <bfallik> yup
49 Sep 27 20:57:15 <bfallik> 7pm on the day of the release
50 Sep 27 20:57:20 <BillN1VUX> Economical but not customer oriented. 08/08/2007 Posted by jess0987
51 Sep 27 20:57:31 <bfallik> poor jess0987
52 Sep 27 20:57:34 <BillN1VUX> Is that a great choice?
53 Sep 27 20:58:05 <maccam94> and that's a what? tuesday? thursday?
54 Sep 27 20:58:09 <maccam94> http://boston.citysearch.com/profile/4747734/cambridge_ma/miracle_of_science_bar_grill.html
55 Sep 27 20:58:14 <maccam94> that's a fun place, but kinda small
56 Sep 27 20:58:23 <maccam94> been there before
57 Sep 27 20:59:01 <maccam94> and it has free wifi ;)
58 Sep 27 21:00:02 <maccam94> it's just a bit small, it would be cool if we could reserve the place
59 Sep 27 21:00:23 <maccam94> (this is if people don't really want to do the globe restaurant)
60 Sep 27 21:01:27 <bfallik> i think we've agreed on The Globe
61 Sep 27 21:01:39 <bfallik> maybe MoS for Gutsy+1
62 Sep 27 21:01:46 <maccam94> haha k
63 Sep 27 21:02:07 * maccam94 wishes he could actually participate in discussion
64 Sep 27 21:02:13 <maccam94> are things winding up or what?
