(09:18:57 PM) hal14450: haha
(09:19:00 PM) cprofitt: so I would prefer to wait until we actually have done an event with them
(09:19:02 PM) hal14450: no pipes
(09:19:12 PM) ausimage: thats good.
(09:19:16 PM) cprofitt: 'evidence' that we have accomplished it

(09:19:31 PM) hal14450: he will be @ the install fest
(09:19:35 PM) cprofitt: as a Fedora Ambassador
(09:19:54 PM) ausimage: Do we have ideas how to get more motivation and action out of our team?
(09:19:55 PM) hal14450: well still it's a lug/lug connection right?
(09:20:08 PM) cprofitt: ausimage, hold on... not done with future events
(09:20:13 PM) ausimage: k
(09:20:19 PM) hal14450: we have a boatload on the agenda

(09:20:42 PM) cprofitt: http://pastebin.com/d6b4fb1d8
(09:20:53 PM) cprofitt: that includes some of the events that are confirmed for the fall
(09:20:56 PM) cprofitt: and some that are not
(09:21:19 PM) cprofitt: the biggest one I am focused on right now is this - http://ftbeowulf.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/nysflyer.jpg
(09:21:26 PM) ***ausimage leaves it open to append to the page
(09:21:31 PM) cprofitt: which I have fliers from System76 already
(09:21:39 PM) ausimage: awesomne...
(09:21:49 PM) cprofitt: and System76 will be providing a demo unit for (or two)
(09:22:05 PM) hal14450: cprofitt, as far as the discs go for that event i doante my time and we pay for the media
(09:22:16 PM) cprofitt: right... just need to know the cost of the media
(09:22:29 PM) ausimage: Should discuss a little about karmic too I gues
(09:22:39 PM) cprofitt: the summer events ausimage are with students from RIT giving the presentations
(09:22:49 PM) cprofitt: so we are increasing our exposure on campus...
(09:22:50 PM) ausimage: oh nice
(09:22:52 PM) cprofitt: which is a good thing
(09:22:54 PM) hal14450: i'd like to get a loaner/demo from another local retailer but i'll settle for something from micrecycle they really came through last time i asked
(09:23:00 PM) cprofitt: we made those contact through BarCamp
(09:23:08 PM) ausimage: awesome
(09:23:24 PM) hal14450: yeah there's an untapped resource of students there
(09:23:36 PM) ausimage: We really should have a seperate annoucement only list :/
(09:23:39 PM) cprofitt: I need to get some people in to cover the other topics - under ideas
(09:23:41 PM) hal14450: i'm not sure why they haven't attended lugor in the past
(09:23:52 PM) cprofitt: me either hal14450
(09:24:00 PM) cprofitt: perhaps it was the old men that scared them
(09:24:08 PM) cprofitt: and the lack of Lugor participating 'out'
(09:24:13 PM) hal14450: chris reich can probably do the podcasting thing
(09:24:23 PM) cprofitt: yep... I will be contacting him on that
(09:24:26 PM) ausimage: did they have a seperate on campus group too?
(09:24:31 PM) cprofitt: I would like to get a home server dude too
(09:24:42 PM) cprofitt: and a Bug Jam scheduled with Syracuse again
(09:24:50 PM) ausimage: nice...
(09:24:53 PM) hal14450: they have some groups there but i'm not sure how active they are
(09:24:57 PM) cprofitt: ausimage, they had a Linux group... but from what we hear it does not meet regularly
(09:25:03 PM) ausimage: k
(09:25:11 PM) ausimage: that could be a reason
(09:25:12 PM) hal14450: there is an opensoalris group as well
(09:25:18 PM) hal14450: damn typos
(09:25:21 PM) ausimage: ooh
(09:25:22 PM) cprofitt: so as you can see we have a good chunk of events scheduled through December
(09:25:40 PM) cprofitt: the only depressing part is Canonical has not responded about supporting NYSCATE
(09:25:41 PM) ausimage: yeah... I only hope we spark as much out here too ;)
(09:25:43 PM) cprofitt: with a booth
(09:26:06 PM) ausimage: cprofitt: you try asking for matching money?
(09:26:22 PM) cprofitt: I tried asking for the whole $750
(09:26:29 PM) cprofitt: they said they would talk about it...
(09:26:42 PM) hal14450: we still have avenues to pursue on that yet
(09:26:46 PM) ausimage: I thought you had a line on other money
(09:26:58 PM) cprofitt: I do... Fedora
(09:27:04 PM) cprofitt: Sugar Project
(09:27:09 PM) hal14450: not money connections is what i was talking about
(09:27:10 PM) cprofitt: and System76
(09:27:10 PM) ausimage: if they go half... perhaps Canonical would pick up the rest
(09:27:32 PM) cprofitt: I would like to get a response from Canonical...
(09:27:41 PM) ausimage: er what ever percentage...
(09:27:45 PM) cprofitt: but if Fedora responds with a suggestion like that...
(09:27:50 PM) cprofitt: we can pass that forward
(09:27:59 PM) ausimage: cprofitt: you try pinging sabdfl himself :/
(09:28:00 PM) hal14450: if we do a workshop or two they'll likely be willing to drop the price as they charge attendees for workshops
(09:28:02 PM) cprofitt: from the sounds of it... Fedora and Sugar may do booths
(09:28:08 PM) cprofitt: ausimage, I did try him yes
(09:28:12 PM) cprofitt: in the public meeting...
(09:28:13 PM) ausimage: k
(09:28:18 PM) cprofitt: his OpenWeek session
(09:28:27 PM) ausimage: in private ;)
(09:28:36 PM) hal14450: i'm really looking forward to nyscate it's the perfect opportunity
(09:28:43 PM) ausimage: I think so too..
(09:28:58 PM) ausimage: hal14450: you think jaguar can kick us a mailing list?
(09:29:00 PM) cprofitt: hal14450, it is...
(09:29:25 PM) hal14450: ausimage, i can set us up a mailing list but what do we want this one for?
(09:29:41 PM) ausimage: Announcements of events only....
(09:29:51 PM) ausimage: no posting 'cept by moderators...
(09:29:55 PM) cprofitt: I do think that in working with other LUGs we need to have 'presenters'
(09:29:58 PM) ausimage: who will post events
(09:30:02 PM) hal14450: seems like a bit much lol
(09:30:11 PM) cprofitt: available to go to their meetings / events
(09:30:22 PM) cprofitt: We have a wiki for events -- and the mailing list...
(09:30:26 PM) ausimage: That way people can sign up and keep track of events...
(09:30:28 PM) cprofitt: not sure we need another one...
(09:30:38 PM) hal14450: i can do it but that's just spreading the information sources wider which i think isn't necessarily a good thing
(09:30:38 PM) ausimage: cprofitt: lugor has both ?
(09:30:38 PM) cprofitt: we also have the Google Calendar
(09:30:52 PM) cprofitt: I think we have too many spots and not enough people know where
(09:30:58 PM) cprofitt: we have wiki, web, mailing list
(09:31:00 PM) ausimage: I was thinking of those who consider planning noise...
(09:31:05 PM) hal14450: best to consolidate imho
(09:31:08 PM) cprofitt: Lugor has web - mailing list - mailing list
(09:31:23 PM) ausimage: announce, discuss ?
(09:31:28 PM) hal14450: well we have a planning list for those that want to get involved in planning
(09:31:49 PM) hal14450: it's not private announcements only or anything
(09:31:49 PM) cprofitt: Lugor does have a planning list
(09:32:01 PM) cprofitt: and that would work... but we do not need a sep. for announcements
(09:32:32 PM) ausimage: I was thinking perhaps ubuntu list... planning... and a different one for announcements ?
(09:32:48 PM) hal14450: we can designate someone to send out emails to the everyone that is a member of the loco and or mailing list
(09:32:51 PM) ausimage: but maybe that is not as good
(09:33:19 PM) ausimage: we then need to maintain an address book seperate from the list :/
(09:33:45 PM) ausimage: to accumalate those interested in events... but really want involvement in the group ?
(09:34:05 PM) hal14450: we have email addy's from lp yes?
(09:34:18 PM) hal14450: and email addy's from list members right?
(09:34:22 PM) ausimage: I have all the addies... webbie, lp, list
(09:34:57 PM) hal14450: so no real need for a mailing list unless it's going to be interactive right?
(09:35:01 PM) ausimage: my thought would be put them in one place... and just send email to that place and email goes to all
(09:35:18 PM) hal14450: right that's what i mean
(09:35:25 PM) hal14450: no need for a list
(09:35:39 PM) ausimage: how do you control access to the magic list?
(09:35:45 PM) ausimage: of addies?
(09:35:47 PM) hal14450: just when an event is going to take place email all the members
(09:36:25 PM) ausimage: I was thinking a single address authorized members could send to.... and it goes to the entire addie collection 
(09:36:32 PM) hal14450: you have them all so you can ask for a trusted volunteer or email a reminder for events when they happen
(09:36:51 PM) ausimage: Guess that would work too
(09:36:55 PM) cprofitt: I dunno... I am happy with the current email ist
(09:37:00 PM) ausimage: k
(09:37:07 PM) hal14450: so am i
(09:37:08 PM) ausimage: just thinking loudly
(09:37:30 PM) ausimage: A little on our Karmic Party...
(09:37:37 PM) ausimage: then
(09:37:59 PM) cprofitt: go ahead sir - what are your plans?
(09:38:01 PM) ausimage: I would like to shoot for 90 this time in the same area...
(09:38:32 PM) ausimage: is reasonable goal... and what can we do to support such gathering....
(09:38:39 PM) ausimage: raise enough interest....
(09:38:40 PM) ausimage: etc
(09:39:05 PM) ***ausimage rather aim higher than lower ;)
(09:39:37 PM) cprofitt: sounds like a good plan...
(09:39:51 PM) hal14450: sounds good
(09:40:07 PM) ausimage: I am thinking this warrants break out sessions
(09:40:12 PM) cprofitt: I think sponsors will be needed for an event that size... but do you have a price on getting multiple rooms from the hotel -- assuming we use the hotel?
(09:40:14 PM) ausimage: and a lab
(09:40:29 PM) ausimage: I will need to check with the wife
(09:40:34 PM) cprofitt: You and I discussed three presentation rooms and one lab
(09:40:39 PM) ausimage: I am sure we will get a discount
(09:40:42 PM) cprofitt: we have to make sure the lab can handle power reqs
(09:40:48 PM) hal14450: let's not go too big
(09:40:49 PM) ausimage: yeah ;)
(09:41:06 PM) hal14450: the inet was pretty poor that weekend
(09:41:13 PM) ausimage: no... but if we have 90... and want about 30 to a session 
(09:41:29 PM) ausimage: I may try a few things to improve that ;)
(09:41:53 PM) cprofitt: I would suggest contacting Oracle about being a sponsor
(09:42:03 PM) ausimage: Oracle?
(09:42:07 PM) ausimage: Orielly?
(09:42:12 PM) ausimage: hmm
(09:42:14 PM) cprofitt: Oracle
(09:42:25 PM) cprofitt: Orielly will send books (maybe)
(09:42:34 PM) cprofitt: but I doubt they would provide cash
(09:42:50 PM) ausimage: I am thinking maybe playing nice with TW would not hurt either...
(09:43:06 PM) cprofitt: it might... or Verizon
(09:43:13 PM) ausimage: oooh
(09:43:13 PM) cprofitt: Or Newegg
(09:43:15 PM) cprofitt: or Dell
(09:43:37 PM) ausimage: I will put connectivity on my to do list...
(09:43:46 PM) cprofitt: or HP
(09:43:48 PM) cprofitt: etc...
(09:43:53 PM) ausimage: yeah....
(09:43:59 PM) ausimage: need those sponsors
(09:44:06 PM) cprofitt: If we have sponsors... they may want booths or some such...
(09:44:13 PM) ausimage: Yeah...
(09:44:15 PM) cprofitt: but I am not sure how to do a small show...
(09:44:22 PM) ducky: Newegg FTW
(09:44:27 PM) cprofitt: have you talked with the Ontario or Ohio organizers?
(09:44:27 PM) ausimage: ducky: !
(09:44:32 PM) ausimage: no
(09:44:54 PM) ausimage: perhaps hal14450 can ask OnLinux for pointers ?
(09:44:58 PM) ducky: ontario show was amazing
(09:45:13 PM) ausimage: ducky ideas?
(09:45:17 PM) ausimage: comments?
(09:45:26 PM) ducky: sorry i just got here
(09:45:32 PM) ducky: illl have to read back
(09:45:46 PM) ausimage: Karmic Koala Install Fest
(09:45:53 PM) cprofitt: ausimage, if you are going to be lead organizer -- it would be good to have hal14450 setup an conference call
(09:45:54 PM) hal14450: ausimage, we're not quite ready for that level yet lol
(09:45:57 PM) cprofitt: but have you included...
(09:46:06 PM) ausimage: er Release Evetn
(09:46:14 PM) cprofitt: hal14450, we are not... but some of their ideas may transfer to us buidling
(09:46:17 PM) cprofitt: building
(09:46:22 PM) hal14450: agreed
(09:46:28 PM) hal14450: i can ask richard for pointer
(09:46:29 PM) ausimage: will I know that... but 90 will take a little time to make happen
(09:46:33 PM) hal14450: pointers*
(09:46:52 PM) ausimage: hal14450: I don't mind party calling Onlinux with you...
(09:47:11 PM) ausimage: If I am lead... I am going to need a little more support too ;)
(09:47:13 PM) hal14450: lol i was thinking about emailing richard
(09:47:29 PM) hal14450: i'll help when and where i can
(09:47:41 PM) cprofitt: ausimage, I am not sure who else is out there to be a lead... so it is kind of in your court
(09:47:48 PM) cprofitt: I am sure we will help as we can...
(09:47:49 PM) ausimage: whichever... just trying to feel out what needs to happen to triple attendance ;)
(09:48:18 PM) ausimage: I will lead... but want help with sponsorships and sessions ;)

(09:48:39 PM) hal14450: awesome
(09:48:52 PM) cprofitt: I think we need one person to handle sponsorship stuff...
(09:48:59 PM) ausimage: getting the sponsorships and locating speakers
(09:48:59 PM) cprofitt: and one person to set the rooms up
(09:49:07 PM) cprofitt: I can assist with speakers...
(09:49:17 PM) ausimage: I don't mind coordinating the team
(09:49:26 PM) cprofitt: I can suggest sponsors.. but I think you should contact them
(09:49:40 PM) hal14450: i'll have to work on speaking more but if i can come up w/ a good talk i'll speak
(09:49:42 PM) ausimage: k... I guess I can do that for nationals
(09:49:57 PM) ausimage: hal14450: if you have leads there too ;)
(09:49:58 PM) cprofitt: I just do not have the details they may need on the site, etc.
(09:50:24 PM) ausimage: I will see about nailing it down by the end of may perhaps...
(09:50:36 PM) cprofitt: I think grabbing local sponsors from Syracuse, etc can be guys there
(09:50:41 PM) cprofitt: as they will have relationships
(09:50:54 PM) cprofitt: I just do not want two or three people being the contact with a sponsor
(09:50:58 PM) ausimage: Yeah... and those in rochester and ithaca can too
(09:51:20 PM) ausimage: no one main per syracuse, ithace and rochester perhpas
(09:51:24 PM) hal14450: i'll see what interest i can drum up locally for the event
(09:51:24 PM) cprofitt: 'etc' yep... Albany, Rochester, Potsdam... etc.
(09:51:37 PM) cprofitt: but I think one Rochester person
(09:51:42 PM) cprofitt: one Syracuse person
(09:51:43 PM) ausimage: yeah... 
(09:51:46 PM) hal14450: if we have a few speakers on good topics it will be a draw
(09:51:53 PM) ausimage: yeah...
(09:52:02 PM) cprofitt: that might rotate per event, but I do not want a potential sponsor feeling ganged up on...
(09:52:13 PM) ausimage: true
(09:52:14 PM) cprofitt: or that we are not organized because four people contact them
(09:52:16 PM) hal14450: agreed
(09:52:28 PM) ausimage: I can maintain a contacted list ;)
(09:52:34 PM) hal14450: we need to make them feel included but not overwhelmed
(09:52:39 PM) cprofitt: national / international sponsors need to be you or I
(09:52:44 PM) cprofitt: as Pres / VP
(09:52:44 PM) ausimage: and those that want to contact can let me know first
(09:52:56 PM) ausimage: yeah...
(09:53:31 PM) ausimage: lots of good ideas flowing the event
(09:53:46 PM) ausimage: so to sum up...
(09:54:06 PM) cprofitt: the timing of the event may play a role in that
(09:54:21 PM) cprofitt: NYSCATE is in November and OnLinux is October I think
(09:54:44 PM) cprofitt: I really think a 'big' spring thing may be a better target date -- but can understand the excitement
(09:54:46 PM) ausimage: I will get a location with about 4 rooms... check connectivity, and coordinate other volunters... and also check national sponsors... :)
(09:54:51 PM) cprofitt: of pushing for fall
(09:55:28 PM) ausimage: cprofit is going to scout for talent and help with national sponsors....
(09:55:57 PM) ausimage: hal14450 was going to look at being the talent... and ?
(09:56:02 PM) cprofitt: yep... can you add a wiki page with these 'tasks' and 'assignments'
(09:56:11 PM) ausimage: yes I will
(09:56:16 PM) cprofitt: perhaps leaving open slots will encourage some to 'grab' a slot
(09:56:22 PM) ausimage: Yeah...
(09:56:32 PM) hal14450: well i'll offer to speak if i can find a good talk and do it well
(09:56:32 PM) cprofitt: I would like to use the Ubuntu wiki if possible as I think it is more accessible to editing by the group
(09:56:42 PM) ausimage: I think I was look at the first nov weeken
(09:56:50 PM) ausimage: definitely
