[18:14] <ahoneybun> valorie: do you know where the sheet is with our funds from donations?
[20:46] <valorie> oh my goodness
[20:46] <valorie> no clue
[20:46] <valorie> ask Riddell?
[20:46] <ahoneybun> Mmm
[20:47] <valorie> afaik he's still treasurer
[20:47] <ahoneybun> I was wondering about using them for items like swag to promote/get more income but then we need to know what we want to do with the funds.
[20:48] <valorie> until we know that an actual conf to prepare for, we don't really need money
[20:49] <ahoneybun> Mm though we need more folks involved don't you think?
[20:49] <valorie> so far I've been successful in asking the Ubuntu Community Fund for money and I suggest we do that
[20:49] <valorie> it would be great to have more testers
[20:49] <ahoneybun> I need to keep my involvement going for at least 6 months before I ask CC for money. 
[20:49] <valorie> and having a booth at LFNW/SeaGL were both great
[20:50] <ahoneybun> I will be at LFNW for system76 this year so I would only be there in spirit for kubuntu
[20:50] <valorie> somehow I suppose I could shoehorn one or both of this in again
[20:50] <valorie> no way I will do it virtually
[20:51] <ahoneybun> What I was thinking was having swag for testers and other contribution. 
[20:51] <ahoneybun> forms of contribution;
[20:51] <valorie> what kind of swag do people actually *want*?
[20:51] <valorie> the only thing that seems popular is stickers
[20:52] <Maik> and shirts
[20:52] <ahoneybun> That's true those are pretty big ones. 
[20:53] <ahoneybun> Stickers are fairly easy and can be used to promote the project.
[20:53] <ahoneybun> Mm
[20:53] <valorie> someone snagged my fav kubuntu shirt
[20:53] <ahoneybun> I don't even have one of those haha
[20:53] <valorie> yep, last batch of stickers I just bought myself
[20:53] <RikMills> talk to JR
[20:53] <valorie> I have one that JR had made
[20:53] <ahoneybun> Ah
[20:53] <valorie> but I don't wear button downs very often
[20:54] <ahoneybun> The first step would be to figure out what *we* want to do and then reach out to JR.
[21:28] <Maik> so the Kubuntu project is in need of testers too?
[21:29] <ahoneybun> It's always in need of folks to test new releases Maik
[21:29] <ahoneybun> we'll be glad to have you
[21:32] <Maik> well... on my brand new laptop that i bought last week i have Kubuntu 20.04 running since of today. On this old gifted machine where i'm typing from i've been running Jammy for more that a week or so. So i could use that one to help. I'll see what i can do. :)
[21:34] <ahoneybun> We'll want 22.04 to be as rock solid as we can get it!
[21:37] <Maik> of course, it's a LTS release which needs to be rock solid :)
