[00:58] Hey there, anyone around for the meeting tonight? I sent out a reminder, but may have done something wrong when sending it out [00:58] I'm here, for what it's worth. [00:58] :-) [00:58] hey [00:58] Awesome MichelleQ ! [00:59] OMG it's a Chuck sighting. [00:59] Hey there maddog_2009 [01:00] hey [01:00] Well, gonna ping everyone really quick [01:02] bluebomber Bryanstein cjohnston dantalizing danstoner himuraken jamalta jcastro maxolasersquad_h munz ropetin RoAkSoAx thinkjson tyman zoopster zus: Meeting time, if you can join us [01:02] Hey there erictee, how are you? [01:02] Present sir! [01:02] What 's up all ! [01:02] who woke me up [01:02] Hey there maxolasersquad_h ! [01:03] o/ cjohnston [01:03] :-) [01:03] whats up dude [01:03] Sorry, I know you need your beauty sleep [01:03] lo [01:03] l [01:03] ;-) [01:03] I'm actually doing a little hacking since ive ignored ubuntu for a while [01:03] Oh, wow [01:04] a nice little 1293 line MP for mhall119 [01:04] hehe [01:05] Well, we were just going to discuss whether or not anyone wants to try and do a more simple event... Marianna contacted me to see if we wanted to do something on either Wednesday or Thursday evening [01:05] ok.. [01:05] they are print up badges and are putting the evening events on them [01:05] thursday is the key signing iirc [01:05] Ah! [01:05] We really don't have to do anything this time, if everyone is really busy [01:05] itnet7: You mean at UDS? [01:05] do we know yet what the evening events are? [01:06] but I thought we could do something like the Budapest Loco [01:06] let me read my e-mail [01:06] re-read I mean [01:06] Apparently no costume party :-( [01:06] Boo [01:06] did they send the email to everyone, or just you itnet7 ? [01:07] just me... [01:07] gotcha [01:08] we arent 'chosen'... lol [01:08] Hi All [01:08] what kind of event do you have in mind, itnet7? [01:08] lol, I doubt that's it [01:08] here are the event so far.. according to Marianna [01:08] 1) Monday 31st: Meet & Greet (this is not going to be a Halloween Party) [01:08] 2) Tuesday 1st Nov: Happy Hour offered by Rackspace [01:08] 3) Friday 4th: UDS Party [01:09] I was thinking we could just put something like "An evening at Downtown Disney" or "City Walk" [01:09] I'm trying to think if there is anything that would be 'special' to go to. [01:10] i remember last year there were people asking to go to a range [01:10] I was thinking of maybe asking if we can possibly have the charter bus make a stop at OldTowne [01:10] Are there a bunch of Ranges close?? [01:10] not down there.. [01:10] Disney Quest is awesome. [01:11] the closest one that i know of thats big enough to support a large enough group is up by me [01:11] Is it low cost, maxolasersquad_h ? [01:11] IIRC $20/head. [01:11] cjohnston: how far do you live from there? [01:11] ~40 minutes [01:11] ah [01:12] Nope prices are up. $37-$43. [01:12] So probably not. [01:12] * mhall119 has 1293 reasons to hate cjohnston right now [01:12] lol [01:12] rofl mhall119 [01:12] I also have 1294 reasons to study French instead of reviewing merge proposals [01:13] no you dont [01:13] I read online the Caribe hotel has free shuttles to all of the parks [01:13] All the hotels in Disney have free shuttles to the parks. [01:13] Sorry, Caribe not in Disney. [01:14] MichelleQ: perhaps a Movie night with PopCorn and Candy, and non-alcoholic refreshments... BYOB [01:15] * zus apologizes, he missed the tag flag, and was AFK....(and i actually have to leave the house...) [01:15] I think we might be able to get the plenary room again [01:15] Is there a projector for the room for the movie? [01:15] itnet7: popcorn/candy/etc. would be fun [01:15] X-Man: yup, last year we had ironman2 [01:15] MichelleQ: I think it would be fun and economical [01:15] Maybe Office Space a movie option [01:15] could rent a popcorn machine [01:16] Yeah [01:16] I was unable to secure a good deal on the pathtags [01:16] :-( [01:16] OMG, maddog_2009 is here? [01:16] We can get some made a little later [01:16] ROFL, he is mhall119 [01:16] quick, someone get a screencap [01:17] MichelleQ: I have a really, really cool idea about pathtags [01:17] We'll talk about it at the loco party [01:17] sounds good [01:17] I do have another idea though of something we can give away... to remember this UDS [01:17] and it won't cost much at all [01:18] sound good [01:18] X-Man: I would love that [01:18] Office Space Rocks! [01:18] How about Space Balls [01:18] I would say we can pick up a couple, and let everyone choose but that would be crazy [01:19] Well, what night if we were to do something would be best for everyone? [01:20] I wish that they would create a link like: http://uds.ubuntu.com/EveningFestivities and use a QR code on the badge, that way it's not so static [01:21] This may sound crazy, but I think it would be fun to do a fish, grits and sweet tea night. [01:21] Something very southern. [01:21] It doesn't have to be EveningFestivities link... just an example [01:21] Boiled peanuts. [01:22] maxolasersquad_h: that might be cool, but you remember what happened on "Airplane" the movie? [01:22] ;-) [01:22] No eggs then. [01:23] lol [01:23] itnet7: you mean like http://uds.ubuntu.com/social-events/ [01:23] oh is it already there [01:24] Yeah, except the way that Marianna was describing, they were going to print all of the events on the Badge [01:24] maybe ask her not to and just qr to ^ [01:25] Yeah, that's what I'll do [01:25] how many of us are going to be there most of the time? [01:25] I'm planning on being there all week. [01:25] I know that erictee said he's not going to be there all week [01:25] iprolly will [01:25] maxolasersquad_h: I'm still working on the room [01:25] since im like the crew chief or something [01:25] :-) [01:25] itnet7: Cool. [01:26] maxolasersquad_h: love the southern idea [01:26] I wish I had unlimited resources, I would rent the following: [01:27] a huge bouncy house with a slide, a set of sumo padded wrestling suits [01:27] and a bunch of other things [01:27] i thought you did have unlimited resources [01:28] I love bounce houses. I had one at my wedding. [01:28] mhall119's team is sprinting (I think) so he'll be there, but I'm not sure how much he'll *be* there. [01:28] And a slip n slide. [01:28] MichelleQ and maxolasersquad_h do you think it would be expensive to have a fish fry catered, or is it something we can do? [01:29] itnet7: I think the hardest part about doing a fish fry would be having a kitchen where we could do it. [01:29] Something like that I think is gonna be hard.. I see the pizza thing happening all over where more people showed up than rsvp'ed [01:29] Unless we rented some big fryers and did it outside. [01:29] the hotel would probably take issue with that, too [01:29] Yeah, Party poopers [01:29] popcorn/candy though - very doable. [01:29] Yeah [01:30] MichelleQ: Yeah. I've cooked for hundred of people many times, but catering seems the only realistic solution, if we do it. [01:30] yup [01:30] Especially with it being so close to Halloween [01:30] How about a Costume Movie night, with a contest for best dressed? [01:31] Can do, but would that interfere with the costume party scheduled for Friday? [01:32] http://www.eventfun.biz/PopcornCottonCandySnowConeMachineRentalsMichigan.html [01:32] erm, that's Michigan. [01:32] Oh, wow, I didn't notice that on that link [01:32] superheroes [01:32] Yeah, so scratch that [01:32] ah, they have one in Olrando, too. [01:32] apparently [01:33] 2015 Directors Row, Orlando, FL 32809 [01:33] We should be able to find one local [01:33] Well, let's decide which night [01:33] Wednesday to me seems like the better night. [01:34] Wednesday +1 [01:35] I was thinking that night would be best, as some of the people that have told me they are not planning to be there Thursday [01:35] as far as after stuff, i dont know what my plan will be, but i plan to be there during the day all week [01:36] I'll be doing Disney with the family that weekend. [01:36] cjohnston: no worries [01:37] i could be in pensacola or lakeland on saturday too.. lol [01:37] Loco part on that Saturday evening. [01:37] right [01:37] itnet7: I may ask you to rent the room Saturday and I'll pay for that whole day. [01:37] i have family in the panhandle that i might need to go see [01:37] MichelleQ: Do you think you might have time to check on how much it would cost to rent a popcorn machine? [01:38] maxolasersquad_h: I think we are planning to check out on Sunday [01:38] Oh, cool. [01:38] itnet7: I'lls ee what I can find [01:38] MichelleQ: they have snow cone machines, and cottoncandy as well [01:39] can you see if there's a deal for more than one? [01:39] Cotton candy would be fun [01:39] sure [01:39] Yeah, I will have to stay away from it, but I think everyone would enjoy that [01:40] We could totally do a cheesy movie night - "The Blob", "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" etc [01:40] Once we find out what we're going to have as far as that stuff goes, we can mail the list for volunteers to run them... [01:40] You know what would be great! [01:40] if we could get the Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3-D and get those blue/red glasses [01:40] Sorta vaguely Halloween-meets-old-Hollywood thing [01:41] I don't even know if it's available on vhs/dvd, but I remeber scoring my glasses from the 7-eleven or the TV Guide when I was like 7 or 8 [01:41] it's likely the hotel has some if not all of that stuff [01:41] oh hi ya'll o/ [01:41] hey there zoopster !! [01:41] howdy, and which stuff? [01:41] popcorn mach [01:41] cotton candy mach [01:42] popcorn machine, et al. [01:42] zoopster: do they have a bouncy house?? [01:42] ah, thought you meant 3-d glasses [01:42] j/k [01:42] doubtful [01:42] maybe Marianna could put a feeler out with the hotel for us? [01:42] a lot of us will be there the week prior [01:42] I will let here know what we are planning, and ask her if she can check [01:42] sounds good. [01:43] canonical has the entire conf center for 3 weeks [01:43] I'll call around and get some quotes, too [01:43] zoopster: wowzers [01:43] wow [01:43] so they should GIVE it to us for that [01:44] ok...maybe not the entire conf center, but a large part of it [01:44] zoopster: what do you think about b-rated horror movie? [01:44] I was going to suggest that [01:44] hi, sorry I am late [01:45] I would love to show Evil Dead II, but I think some people really might not like it [01:45] hey there jcastro ! [01:45] there's going to be a QA session thing on Wednesday night, but kind of early ish [01:45] you should shoot for movies for wednesday after the QA thing [01:46] Any a good starting time? 8 or 9 pm ish, so that people have a chance to go and eat if they want to? [01:47] that should have read, Any good idea for a... [01:47] 8 would likely be best [01:47] much later and people bail [01:47] I agree [01:48] last year most socialized vs watched the movie so having snacks/drinks/social area would be good [01:49] Okay, So we're going to suggest the QR code for http://uds.ubuntu.com/social-events/ [01:49] but if they don't want to, I will send her a description of what we plan for 8 pm on Wednesday evening [01:50] What time is the QA session scheduled to end? [01:50] We should really try to encourage sign ups... [01:50] X-Man: it usually ends around 6:00 if remember right [01:50] jcastro: ^ is it a Mark Q & A [01:51] oh no, I mean QA as in quality [01:51] in one of the session rooms [01:51] OH [01:51] it's like an hour long workshop [01:51] what time is it scheduled to start? [01:51] I don't have a start/endtime yet [01:51] oh [01:51] I still think 8 should be good [01:51] however, someone mail marianna with the idea, CC me, and I'll ask evan to make sure that he doesn't do it all late [01:52] that works out actually, I think people would love scary/cheesy movie night. [01:52] works for me. [01:52] jcastro: cool, I will cc you and the team on my reply to Marianna [01:52] oh [01:52] nevermind, your getting team mail, right? [01:52] :-) [01:53] I have no idea actually, hehe [01:53] jorge@u.c works though [01:54] Cool, Maybe we can put a poll up with a couple of cheesy movies, or does everyone think we should just pick one... The Blob might be good, and there are a couple of other really good ones. Invasion of the Body Snatchers? [01:54] oh also, put the AV requirements in the mail [01:54] jcastro: will do [01:54] we could also do a straw poll for the movie the afternoon of plenaries [01:54] I was hoping we could secure the plenary room again if it's set up similar [01:55] that should be easy [01:55] Yeah, that would be cool [01:55] it should be...and don't worry about av we'll ensure there is a projector, screen, and sound that's simple [01:56] we could just reuse the stuff there [01:56] it's already set up [01:56] yea, exactly [01:56] Yeah, that worked pretty well last time [01:56] at most we might need a DVD player, but I say just find a laptop with a DVD player, probably easiest [01:56] providing something fun and entertaining will be key [01:57] cheesy movies should fit the bill [01:57] We probably need to create the event, once I confirm with Marianna, and start trying to encourage rsvp's [01:58] MichelleQ: about the LoCo Party, the weekend following... How can we help... what do we need to bring? [01:59] if you'll bring a side. Mike and I will supply meat (or non-meat, for Jimmah), and drinks [02:00] Cool [02:00] is there going to be a Loco party the weekend immediately after in Orlando? [02:00] maxolasersquad_h: yes [02:00] Saturday evening [02:00] Cool. What times and where? [02:01] anytime after 4p, and my house [02:01] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-florida/1084/detail/ [02:01] Lakeland, about 20 minutes from the UDS venue [02:01] MichelleQ: if you need any help with anything else for the party, please let us know! [02:02] will do. I likely won't be at UDS much, working on getting everything ready. [02:03] Sweet, well I think this is going to be another great event!! [02:04] Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. [02:04] :-) [02:04] itnet7: aha, the BoF is at 7 [02:04] so assuming an hour or 1.5 hours, 8 or 8:30? [02:06] 8:30 might be better then [02:07] itnet7: keep me posted. I'll let you know what I find re: machines. [02:07] I'm off to bed. Night, everyone. [02:07] thanks MichelleQ, gnight [02:09] I will copy the list on the e-mail I send out to Marianna. I think we should plan to have everything in place around 8 ish and look towards everyone showing up around 8:30 and shortly after start the movie. [02:09] gnight everyone, and thanks for all the great ideas! [02:10] see ya there itnet7 [02:10] looking forward to it zoopster !
