21:02:05 <GTswagger> Bryanstein: ossfm: terrorpup:
 21:04:14 <ossfm> hi there.
 21:06:34 <ossfm> do we have a meeting tonight
 21:07:31 <GTswagger> ossfm: indeed
 21:07:59 <GTswagger> was exhausted and crashed last week
 21:08:15 <GTswagger> we'll give it till 9:15 to attain quorum, then I'll just rattle off what's up
 21:09:58 <GTswagger> while we wait -- lemme email you my latest SA roll up
 21:10:03 <GTswagger> have lots of docs you don't yet have
 21:11:40 <GTswagger> ossfm: sent
 21:13:50 <Bryanstein> :oP
 21:14:17 <GTswagger> That is three. One more for quorum.
 21:14:43 <GTswagger> actually 3 is 50%
 21:14:50 <GTswagger> quorum by the thinnest of margins
 21:15:40 <ossfm> got the file
 21:16:09 <GTswagger> Okay. Program Guide 1.0 goes out to the board and grammar fascists tonight. Please look it over. It is so painful getting ads out of people I doubt we'll be able to do proofs. We'll probably probably go to print ... or maybe I will go up there to Systel and watch them run one copy to check it.
 21:16:33 <GTswagger> We shuffled or lost 5 speakers ... a revised schedule goes out tonight.
 21:16:52 <GTswagger> I've made lots of progress moving sponsors into 100% completed we've got everything and we're done with them until the event.
 21:17:08 <GTswagger> I've got social media sponsor stuff scheduled clear through the weekend, and that's with multiple announcements a day.
 21:17:49 <GTswagger> I'll be doing a revisit of LUG blasting, a press release, and a master mailing list mailing the second half of this week.
 21:18:09 <GTswagger> We've got our A/V reserved. We got a business VISA against my credit to do so.
 21:18:29 <GTswagger> Mrs. Yeary threatened bodily harm and withdrawl to put it against Yeary's credit.
 21:18:37 <GTswagger> So I had no option.
 21:19:04 <ossfm> what does it take to get a CC in SELF's name?
 21:19:14 <GTswagger> It is in SELF's name.
 21:19:30 <GTswagger> But it has to have a person tied to it.
 21:19:37 <ossfm> k
 21:19:39 <GTswagger> and whoever that is... it counts against your credit rating.
 21:19:42 <Bryanstein> It just requires a guarantor
 21:20:03 <ossfm> so we have one or more than one?
 21:20:20 <GTswagger> So if I went to buy a house right now, the lender would look at me and assume I have immediate access to the full (VERY LARGE) reserve of that business VISA, and tack that on to my 15-20% down.
 21:20:27 <GTswagger> And that ****ing sucks, but I digress.
 21:20:46 <GTswagger> We have one, uno, single business VISA.
 21:21:37 <GTswagger> I've processed a ton of odds and ends that had stacked up in my email ... been working hard last week on that.
 21:21:45 <GTswagger> I'm down to inbox 163 from Inbox 1,800.
 21:22:16 <GTswagger> Sponsor page on fossil is 99% up to date, minus lingering stuff in that 163.
 21:22:27 <ossfm> that's good.
 21:22:39 <ossfm> where did the t-shirt design land?
 21:22:52 <ossfm> i assume with the doors.
 21:22:52 <GTswagger> The Blake says they won't invoice us for the balance until we've finished up event orders etc
 21:23:07 <GTswagger> so they've waived their contractual option to invoice us the balance last week
 21:23:39 <GTswagger> I guess this is common ... I just assumed the Marriott was weird.
 21:23:43 <GTswagger> Marriott did the same thing.
 21:23:55 <GTswagger> tshirt ... we're going to go with the original.
 21:24:28 <GTswagger> John Yeary nearly vomited when he saw what doors looked like when massaged to work on a background outside of a print ad
 21:24:57 <ossfm> ha
 21:25:23 <ossfm> that design covers the bags too.
 21:25:28 <GTswagger> Yea
 21:25:36 <GTswagger> So ... the todo master:
 21:26:06 <GTswagger> - Order tshirts/bags with original art (ETA: this week)
 21:26:24 <GTswagger> - Finalize program guide (ETA: Tues)
 21:26:35 <GTswagger> Note: the program guide WILL NOT include a floor layout
 21:26:55 <GTswagger> ... aint like people really used that anyway ...
 21:27:08 <GTswagger> - Finalize and send press release (ETA: this week)
 21:27:24 <GTswagger> - Re-hit LUGs, email master list (ETA: this week)
 21:27:49 <GTswagger> - Finalize badge system so it is ready for production (ETA: June 1)
 21:28:08 <GTswagger> - Finalize event orders with hotel (ETA: Next week)
 21:28:19 <GTswagger> - Finalize SELF staff rooms (ETA: This week)
 21:28:37 <GTswagger> - Email sponsors to get their damned rooms (ETA: This week)
 21:28:55 <ossfm> i'm ok with not having a vendor layout in the guide. i think a floorplan with room names might be useful though.
 21:29:02 <GTswagger> - Finish up with ALL sponsors on everything needed and giving them expo hall details etc (ETA: This week ... but with some of these folks it will be ongoing...)
 21:29:54 <GTswagger> - Mobile webpage with schedule and speakers ... Eric Wood has volunteered to update that for us
 21:29:55 <ossfm> have we talked to snkmchnb for a android schedule?
 21:30:00 <GTswagger> jinx
 21:30:30 <GTswagger> http://www.interplas.com/SELF/sessions.html
 21:31:05 <GTswagger> :)
 21:31:12 <GTswagger> We'll go with that instead of OpenSchedule
 21:31:16 <GTswagger> for the sake of my sanity
 21:31:31 <GTswagger> and b/c somebody volunteered eagerly to do the work
 21:31:43 <GTswagger> and b/c that expands access mobile to everybody with iPhone and BB
 21:31:44 <ossfm> that counts as much as anything.
 21:32:09 <ossfm> and it can be updated on the fly for speaker changes, etc.
 21:32:13 <GTswagger> oh, forgot ETa on mobile schedule
 21:32:14 <GTswagger> June 1
 21:32:35 <ossfm> did you say we lost some speakers?
 21:32:45 <GTswagger> Yes
 21:32:52 <GTswagger> conflicts, family issues, etc
 21:33:14 <ossfm> we need to vote on replacements.
 21:33:19 <Bryanstein> Is there is a list anywhere or can approved be changed to errr lost?
 21:33:22 <GTswagger> We had to shuffle Bradford, lost Bergelt (swapped in freedeb), lost Cameron, lost Sun (swapped in Yang)
 21:33:25 <Bryanstein> on fossil
 21:33:45 <GTswagger> the only one we purely lost w/o replacement of same topic was Cameron
 21:34:33 <GTswagger> Bryanstein: not at this time, this is what's left in my inbox 163 that I'm working on as we speak along w/ program guide
 21:34:40 <GTswagger> That's why I'm not done on the program guide
 21:34:47 <GTswagger> I want inbox 0 to make sure I have all lose ends handled
 21:35:12 <GTswagger> and lastly ..... volunteers
 21:35:24 <GTswagger> We know the situation with Jas, and he has been completely out of contact.
 21:35:42 <GTswagger> But my hands are pretty full.
 21:35:59 <GTswagger> Would anybody like to take over volunteers? I have confidence Jas will be there at the event to run things,
 21:36:05 <GTswagger> but I want our volunteers knowing what they're doing
 21:36:06 <ossfm> did he say he is out for this year too, or just after this year?
 21:36:07 <GTswagger> when they're doing it
 21:36:13 <GTswagger> and when they need to be there for training if they're doing A/V
 21:36:20 <GTswagger> He is out after this year is what he said
 21:36:54 <GTswagger> So ..... anybody volunteer to be volunteer cat herder leading up to the event?
 21:37:06 <GTswagger> Anyone? anyone? Bryanstein? ossfm? Bueller?
 21:37:42 <GTswagger> I have the keys to the ke4qqq bus. I could always bus somebody. But I prefer "volunteer" bus'ing.
 21:37:45 <ossfm> has there been any contact with the volunteers at all?
 21:37:53 <GTswagger> Amanda: ping
 21:38:04 <GTswagger> I believe so ... I enlisted Amanda to help but she's had some health issues I believe.
 21:39:04 <Bryanstein> So the volunteer list is active and buzzing and what if Jas doesn't take over the reigns the day of?
 21:39:06 <ossfm> do we even have a list of those who have signed up thus far?
 21:39:29 <GTswagger> We have a list.
 21:39:46 <GTswagger> Jas and Amanda do have a list, and I think it lists their last step with those contacts
 21:40:01 <GTswagger> If Jas doesn't take over day of .....
 21:40:17 <ossfm> that'll hurt
 21:40:19 <GTswagger> Well we will have to groom a volunteer replacement backup.
 21:40:35 * GTswagger does some quick thinking
 21:40:42 <Amanda> I've replied to a few emails and stuff, but I didn't know I was supposed to orchestrate the whole thing as well D:
 21:40:52 <Amanda> I have a pretty vague idea of what your needs are
 21:40:54 <GTswagger> Amanda: you weren't
 21:40:56 <ossfm> can we get any leadership from ITT tech
 21:41:03 <GTswagger> you were suppose to do whatever jas asked of you since he was low on time
 21:41:07 <GTswagger> ossfm: ooooooo David
 21:41:07 <Amanda> k good
 21:41:10 <GTswagger> BRILLIANT
 21:41:55 * GTswagger calls David at ITT
 21:41:59 <ossfm> i haven't seen the list of people but i have the impression ITT makes up a large part of the continent.
 21:42:02 <ossfm> is that right?
 21:42:06 <GTswagger> yes
 21:45:32 <GTswagger> David said give him a day to think it over
 21:45:38 <GTswagger> okay -- changing tack
 21:45:53 <GTswagger> I'll email UCLUG and CharLUG to see if we can't find a replacement.
 21:46:08 <GTswagger> I'd prefer somebody BEFORE David, but he's not a bad worst case at all
 21:46:36 <GTswagger> okay so let's alter that a bit
 21:46:58 <GTswagger> Amanda: Please email all the volunteers and see who is local or near Charlotte that can come to the hotel on Thursday to be trainined to use the video equipment
 21:47:12 <GTswagger> setup a free mailchimp or something or use self-volunteer
 21:47:43 <GTswagger> - Find a backup volunteer coordinator who can take over immediately and during event if need be (ETA: Next week)
 21:48:16 <ossfm> ^^ who is that for?
 21:48:25 <GTswagger> - Have all volunteers settled in and knowing what they're doing, when they're doing it, with a buffer of backups in case there are no shows or people get sick etc (ETA: June 1, but likely ongoing after that)
 21:48:28 <GTswagger> that is for me
 21:48:36 <GTswagger> the second one is for our new coordinator
 21:48:42 <GTswagger> Which I oh so hope is not me
 21:48:47 <GTswagger> Lastly
 21:49:15 <GTswagger> - John Yeary and Jeremy to sit down and agree upon master budget outline for event. (ETA: ASAP)
 21:49:58 <ossfm> i've thought we needed a fomalized budget for a while.
 21:50:03 <GTswagger> We'll just have to assume that Nexenta isn't going to sponsor even though they said they did, and that Lonnie's apparent phobia of email has finally caught up to us on IT-oLogy
 21:50:10 <ossfm> are you guys going to meet somewhere?
 21:50:15 <GTswagger> ossfm: it's hard to have a formal budget when you don't have a formal revenue amount
 21:50:31 <GTswagger> ossfm: food and beer is a good wait to bait the yeary out ... so I think so
 21:50:35 <GTswagger> s/wait/way/
 21:51:03 <ossfm> we can at least put down amounts we plan to spend (venue, printing, shirts, a/v, etc)
 21:51:22 <GTswagger> that's the problem with our budget
 21:51:31 <GTswagger> most of the big costs are known.
 21:51:36 <GTswagger> the income is not until VERY late.
 21:52:09 <ossfm> that is why we signed a venue for 2 years.
 21:52:23 <ossfm> at least we don't have to do that this year and pay the initial cost
 21:52:32 <GTswagger> no, the main reason was for the price benefits and because we take so damned long to decide b/c we bid all over the map
 21:52:43 <ossfm> that too.
 21:53:01 <GTswagger> I look forward to being able to sign up sponsors starting June 12th.
 21:53:07 <ossfm> and we can announce "save the 2013 date" which i've seen somewhere already.
 21:53:20 <GTswagger> when they are still deciding their budgets for 2013, I can SWOOP IN and claim my line item
 21:54:02 <GTswagger> Though I imagine we'll probably further tweak the prospectus next year.
 21:54:11 <ossfm> i saw the registration update. can we go to the "Secret" place to discuss?
 21:54:21 <GTswagger> yes
 22:03:25 <GTswagger> alrighty
 22:03:28 <GTswagger> motion to adjourn
 22:03:43 <GTswagger> second?
 22:03:49 <GTswagger> [ ossfm Bryanstein ]
 22:03:49 <ossfm> when do we need to order shirts
 22:03:57 <Bryanstein> +1
 22:04:03 <GTswagger> AA has a quick turnaround, last year they were ready 2 weeks prior
 22:04:05 <GTswagger> we're fine on that
 22:04:10 <GTswagger> Yeary has a fetish for AA
 22:04:11 <ossfm> bags ?
 22:04:15 <GTswagger> same people
 22:04:17 <GTswagger> same time
 22:04:18 <ossfm> ok
 22:04:28 <GTswagger> pressing deadline is program guide
 22:04:32 <GTswagger> the rest have breathing room
 22:04:34 <ossfm> agreed
 22:04:40 <ossfm> second motion
 22:04:44 <GTswagger> all in favor?
 22:04:45 <GTswagger> +1
 22:04:47 <ossfm> +1
 22:04:57 <GTswagger> and Bryanstein seconded so we'll consider him a +1
 22:05:01 <GTswagger> meeting adjourned
