---|---|---|

itnet7 | Hey there n3gbz ! | 01:01 |
n3gbz | Hi, are you back home? | 01:01 |
itnet7 | Let's see if a couple of more show up before we start one.... | 01:02 |
itnet7 | Yes, we're back home now | 01:02 |
itnet7 | How have you been? | 01:02 |
n3gbz | still struggling with family issues in PA; otherwise pretty good | 01:02 |
n3gbz | How about you? | 01:03 |
itnet7 | ah, Sorry to hear that, was hoping things had improved | 01:03 |
itnet7 | Not bad at all! | 01:03 |
itnet7 | Well anyways... I was going to bring this up at the meeting, but I know that most people will read the backlog | 01:04 |
n3gbz | I chatted with Steve Conklin on Ubuntu-hams; he is going to try to put a session on ubuntu-hams | 01:04 |
itnet7 | Let me see if I can get some people in... | 01:05 |
itnet7 | hey there MichelleQ ! | 01:05 |
n3gbz | Hi Michelle | 01:05 |
maxolasersquad_h | I'm around too. | 01:18 |
itnet7 | Hey there maxolasersquad_h ! | 01:19 |
maxolasersquad_h | Howdy | 01:19 |
itnet7 | Well I was just going to bring up an idead about something we can get this time to commemorate this UDS for everyone | 01:19 |
n3gbz | legal? | 01:20 |
mhall119 | itnet7: totally forgot, sorry | 01:24 |
itnet7 | n3gbz: `of course legal | 01:24 |
itnet7 | no prob mhall119 | 01:24 |
itnet7 | I was just going to bring up pathtags | 01:24 |
mhall119 | que est? | 01:25 |
itnet7 | they are quarter sized coins | 01:25 |
itnet7 | that are used for trading to others and tracking | 01:25 |
itnet7 | http://www.pathtags.com | 01:26 |
maxh | Sounds a bit sinister. | 01:26 |
n3gbz | first time I heard of them | 01:26 |
mhall119 | itnet7: is that like the shuttle coin you have to Mark? | 01:26 |
itnet7 | You can design your own | 01:26 |
itnet7 | mhall119: kind of.... | 01:27 |
itnet7 | if you wanted to make one like I gave mark, it costs around 12k to mint | 01:27 |
mhall119 | what's plan B | 01:27 |
itnet7 | and they are 20-25 dollars a piece | 01:27 |
maxh | Wait, that’s US dollars? | 01:27 |
itnet7 | these you can design them and get 100 for about 100 dollars | 01:28 |
mhall119 | now you're talking my price-range | 01:28 |
mhall119 | we'll probably need more than 100 if we're giving them out at UDS | 01:28 |
itnet7 | Well we'd still need close to 500 of them for the sow | 01:28 |
MichelleQ | hey itnet7, n3gbz :-) | 01:28 |
itnet7 | i mean for uds | 01:28 |
itnet7 | Hey there MichelleQ | 01:28 |
n3gbz | hey | 01:28 |
MichelleQ | what are we commemorating UDS with? | 01:29 |
itnet7 | http://www.pathtags.com/ | 01:29 |
mhall119 | itnet7: I assume these will be plastic and screen-printed, not pressed metal | 01:29 |
itnet7 | no, they are pressed metal | 01:29 |
itnet7 | very good quality too | 01:29 |
MichelleQ | interesting | 01:29 |
mhall119 | itnet7: cool | 01:30 |
MichelleQ | we could actually set up a series of geocaches *at* UDS... | 01:30 |
itnet7 | MichelleQ: I was thinking that ti could be cool to find a vendor could/would sponsor some prizes | 01:30 |
itnet7 | and hide a couple of caches, with coupons to redeem them for the prizes | 01:31 |
mhall119 | atlantic.net sponsored t-shirts last time didn't they? | 01:31 |
itnet7 | mhall119: Yup | 01:31 |
itnet7 | The cool thing about that pathtags also is that you can have them create a custom backing with a vanity code for logging | 01:32 |
MichelleQ | Let me know if I can help with anything, itnet7 | 01:32 |
itnet7 | and whenever you order refills they'll donate money to that Charity | 01:32 |
mhall119 | itnet7: I may have an idea on a prize, let me get back to you | 01:33 |
itnet7 | MichelleQ: no problem | 01:33 |
itnet7 | mhall119: Sweet! | 01:33 |
itnet7 | Any Ideas you guys have would be Awesome! | 01:33 |
itnet7 | I am going to see if I can get them to give me a good deal on like 600 of them, and see if they can design a custom back | 01:36 |
mhall119 | let us know what they quote you | 01:36 |
itnet7 | I am trying to think about the Artwork now | 01:38 |
itnet7 | I designed my own tag | 01:38 |
itnet7 | and it came out pretty good | 01:38 |
itnet7 | here is a link for it... Not sure if it will let you see it | 01:38 |
itnet7 | http://www.pathtags.com/community/publicpathtagprofile.php?id=18368 | 01:39 |
itnet7 | does it let you see it? | 01:39 |
mhall119 | yup | 01:40 |
mhall119 | does that say "Blunder Cats"? | 01:40 |
itnet7 | the pinkish/orangeish part is copper | 01:40 |
* MichelleQ is glad it wasn't just me. | 01:40 | |
itnet7 | I know, unfortunately that's the letter that represents capital P | 01:41 |
itnet7 | in that open source font | 01:41 |
mhall119 | "ubuntu" is an open source font ;) | 01:41 |
itnet7 | I guess I should've modfied it | 01:41 |
itnet7 | Well that's the cool thing | 01:41 |
itnet7 | to log the pathtags the code length is 7 characters so we can either use UDS2011 or UBUNTU1 or something | 01:42 |
mhall119 | I think it would be a cool give-away | 01:42 |
itnet7 | Any Ideas for a layout? | 01:43 |
mhall119 | UDS1110 or UDS1204 I'd say | 01:43 |
itnet7 | I wish I knew what the "P" was | 01:43 |
itnet7 | Oh, sweet | 01:43 |
itnet7 | didn't think of UDS1204 | 01:43 |
itnet7 | Nice!!! | 01:43 |
MichelleQ | I vote 1204 | 01:44 |
itnet7 | me too | 01:44 |
itnet7 | :-) | 01:44 |
itnet7 | Puma, Python, Panther | 01:45 |
n3gbz | uds-p | 01:46 |
mhall119 | Puma or Panther would be too many cats | 01:47 |
mhall119 | we already had a Lynx and Ocelot | 01:47 |
MichelleQ | Pangolin | 01:49 |
mhall119 | or Peregrine | 01:49 |
itnet7 | Penguin | 01:49 |
itnet7 | :-P | 01:49 |
mhall119 | heh | 01:49 |
MichelleQ | Platypus? | 01:49 |
mhall119 | Persistent Penguin, I like it | 01:49 |
itnet7 | Very cool... | 01:50 |
n3gbz | Possum (my hillbilly past is showing) | 01:50 |
MichelleQ | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gM5TjSOQ48 | 01:50 |
mhall119 | at any rate, I say we get a quote on those pathtags and see if we think we can raise the money | 01:50 |
itnet7 | Well I will try and contact the place tomorrow to find out how much they want and what the can get done... they paint each of them by hand | 01:51 |
itnet7 | so it will take close to a month before we get them | 01:51 |
mhall119 | by hand? | 01:51 |
itnet7 | Well they use needles I've heard that hold paint but a human applies the paint | 01:52 |
itnet7 | there are some links on their page that describes the whole process | 01:52 |
maxh | Hehe, UDS 1204 sounds like a course code. | 01:53 |
itnet7 | I can't believe how awesome they are once you see the actual coins | 01:53 |
itnet7 | maxh: :-) | 01:53 |
maxh | itnet7: UDS 1204 could be a college class. | 01:53 |
itnet7 | maxh: True, If it were, I'd take it! :-) | 01:53 |
maxh | Wait, how did I misread a smiley as a question mark? | 01:53 |
itnet7 | lol | 01:54 |
itnet7 | I will definitely let everyone know once I find out something soon | 02:00 |
tiemonster | test | 12:13 |
maxh | B- | 12:15 |
