DarkwingDuckpleia2, ping00:03
pleia2DarkwingDuck: pong00:05
DarkwingDuckpleia2, have you dealt with finding sponsors for cost of booths before?00:05
pleia2DarkwingDuck: it depends, I've had individuals and companies offer the team donations when we needed money for something00:06
pleia2haven't made any kind of organized effort to find such a thing though00:06
DarkwingDuckpleia2, ahh, I'm about to go shopping for help. :)00:06
DarkwingDuckO'Reilly is sending something. LinuxFoundation.org wants to send something...00:07
pleia2seems like bkerensa is the one to ask about booth goodies, he's pretty good at taking the time to track down stuff00:08
pleia2I've never really done it though00:08
DarkwingDuckYeah, I'm doing good with the booth goodies. I'm more worried about $200 for the booth.00:08
pleia2for solano stroll members of berkeleylug donated the cash00:09
pleia2at meetings jdeslip just collects it00:09
* DarkwingDuck nods00:09
DarkwingDuckWell, when Linux Foundation asked what we needed I mentioned a booth sponsor.00:09
DarkwingDuckSo, we shall see what happens.00:10
* pleia2 nods00:10
DarkwingDuckI don't mind having a "Sponsored By" sign on the booth.00:10
DarkwingDuckI should have plenty of swag by the end of this.00:11
Thundaboom"Sponsored by red hat!" x300:26
DarkwingDuckLOL00:33
DarkwingDuckbkerensa, ping00:34
Thundaboom"Tell you what. We'll give you the cash if you ALSO burn 200 Red Hat CDs. Deal?"00:46

bkerensaDarkwingDuck: Surely01:04
bkerensapleia2: Hey I just wanted to note that were getting our banner sponsored and I ran it by council they even thought it was a good idea =)01:11
bkerensasomewhere on the banner it will say "Sponsored by:" logo here01:12
ThundaboomWish I could visit that booth when it's up :/01:12
bkerensaI know01:13
bkerensaI keep having this thought that since OSCON is in Oregon and Scale is in California01:13
bkerensawe should be roadtripping to each others states01:13
bkerensa:D01:13
DarkwingDuckI would LOVE to... Hard for me to Road Trip anywhere LOL01:14
DarkwingDuckI live a mile and a half from Mexico LOL01:14
bkerensaDoes Mexico have a LoCo?01:14
bkerensa:D01:15
DarkwingDuckDon't know LOL01:15
bkerensaI love Mexico... Super cheap mexican food.... But I have never been to Tijuana just some Arizona/Mexico Border towns01:15
DarkwingDuckBut, I'm 6 miles south of San Diego LOL01:15
DarkwingDuckeven to get to SCaLE it's almost 2 hours north01:15
philipballewa joint effort on scale would be pretty cool though01:16
bkerensaJetblue maybe?01:18
ThundaboomI've only been to one linux expo and that was Scale01:19
Thundaboomi was the youngest guy there >__<01:19

bkerensa:D01:23
Thundaboomwell you guys should totally go to 10x01:23
philipballewthe 5 is the way to do it if you can01:23
* bkerensa wants to go to 10x but I think I wont.... Maybe next year WA/OR can rent a van and hit the road or maybe I will fly01:23
bkerensa:D01:23
* bkerensa needs to talk to family member and see if he can use their Intel flight rates :D01:24

jyopleia2: So I want to burn 11.04 32-bit for Solano, correct?18:59
pleia2jyo: yep19:00
pleia2jyo: and I'd recommend randomly sampling a few you burn to make sure the burns go ok (nothing personal, but we sometimes get complaints about bad burns so we want to make sure they're spot checked :))19:01
jyopleia2: Yeah, I'll use a slower speed as well.19:02
jyoHmm. Where's the 'Check disk for errors' in the startup for these 'new' LiveCDs?19:21
pleia2I'd just make sure it boots into the livecd, if it gets that far it's probably fine19:26
pleia2or just run an md5 check against it19:26
DarkwingDuckWoot! Sponsorship approved.19:38

broderDarkwingDuck: sorry, got pulled away for real life discussion :). we're mostly looking for plumbing (including desktop plumbing) folks20:20
broderthough we'd be glad to talk to anyone with any sort of linux background, because that's half the battle in many cases20:20
