[01:00] <itnet7> Hey there, Anyone around for the meeting?
[01:01] <n3gbz> me
[01:01] <itnet7> Hey there n3gbz !
[01:01] <n3gbz> Hi, are you back home?
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <n3gbz> How about you?
[01:03] <itnet7> ah, Sorry to hear that, was hoping things had improved
[01:03] <itnet7> Not bad at all!
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <itnet7> Let me see if I can get some people in...
[01:05] <itnet7> hey there MichelleQ !
[01:05] <n3gbz> Hi Michelle
[01:18] <maxolasersquad_h> I'm around too.
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <n3gbz> legal?
[01:24] <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
[01:25] <mhall119> que est?
[01:25] <itnet7> they are quarter sized coins
[01:25] <itnet7> that are used for trading to others and tracking
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <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?
[01:28] <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
[01:29] <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
[01:30] <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
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <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!
[01:36] <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
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <itnet7> http://www.pathtags.com/community/publicpathtagprofile.php?id=18368
[01:39] <itnet7> does it let you see it?
[01:40] <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. 
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <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
[01:43] <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!!!
[01:44] <MichelleQ> I vote 1204
[01:44] <itnet7> me too
[01:44] <itnet7> :-)
[01:45] <itnet7> Puma, Python, Panther
[01:46] <n3gbz> uds-p
[01:47] <mhall119> Puma or Panther would be too many cats
[01:47] <mhall119> we already had a Lynx and Ocelot
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <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
[01:51] <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?
[01:52] <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
[01:53] <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?
[01:54] <itnet7> lol
[02:00] <itnet7> I will definitely let everyone know once I find out something soon
[12:13] <tiemonster> test
[12:15] <maxh> B-
