21:03 < tyche> I'm already yawning.
21:03 < johnc4510> last week we started planning on the tucson installfest
21:04 < johnc4510> did we set the date as the 1st of aug?
21:04 < johnc4510> i think
21:04 < tyche> As far as I could determine, yes
21:04 < johnc4510> k
21:04 < johnc4510> i thought so
21:05 < tyche> See the Team newsletter for last week.  Hee hee
21:05 < johnc4510> and i was to email lenard's, which i did, but i haven't heard back yet
21:05 < johnc4510> i did that wed.
21:05 < johnc4510> right
21:06 < johnc4510> so if he doesn't get back to me i should contact oscr and see if they are interested
21:06 < tyche> Sounds good
21:06 < johnc4510> oscr = office of student computer resources
21:06 < johnc4510> u of a campus

21:10 < matthewmpp> cool, thx
21:11 < johnc4510> any ideas on a demo or talk that would create a stir with the college age folks??
21:11 < matthewmpp> do you mean a talk on a drawing program?
21:11 < scott_ev> ummm, get phish to do a reunion show?
21:12 < xHans> johnc4510: netbook demos
21:12 < scott_ev> no, he means how to draw people to the event
21:12 < johnc4510> not necessarily...more like a demo of something or a talk on a subject that ubuntu does better than windows
21:12 < xHans> johnc4510: gaming demos
21:12 < johnc4510> nods
21:12 < matthewmpp> how about cedega?
21:13 < johnc4510> !cedega
21:13 < ubot4> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
21:13 < xHans> johnc4510: see if Zach can help build out the game demos like ASULUG gets
21:13 < johnc4510> xHans: good idea
21:14 < johnc4510> slofgren: could we put that on the test server for a day to use at the installfest?
21:15 < johnc4510> ok, we can mull that one over
21:15 < johnc4510> next
21:15 < johnc4510> i need an idea of who will be here for the event

21:18 < scott_ev> ayup
21:18 < matthewmpp> announcements?
21:19 < johnc4510> ok, so it looks like at least 4 of us which is a good start
21:19 < slofgren> johnc4510: sorry was away
21:19 < johnc4510> we can enlist more as we go
21:19 < slofgren> johnc4510: that is what the test server is for
21:19 < scott_ev> matthewmpp: we should car pool
21:19 < slofgren> no on eis using it
21:19 < azmike> i will still promote it
21:19 < johnc4510> slofgren: great, i thought it would be a great way to use it
21:20 < matthewmpp> Yeah. we should do that.
21:20 < johnc4510> we'll confer on that after i get with zach
21:20 < tyche> johnc4510: I can't guarantee at this time, but if I can I will be there.
21:20 < johnc4510> tyche: great...we would love to have you and your shinning face  :)
21:20 < johnc4510> lol
21:21 < johnc4510> really, i appreciate it
21:21 < johnc4510> :)
21:21 < johnc4510> but isn't paula due for surgery soon?
21:21 < xHans> tyche: will they recognize you because you'll be the one with a jeep with a sword rack in the back window?
21:21 < tyche> Paula probably wouldn't be able to come.  Too soon after her surgery.  She'll see when she gets past the surgery whether or not she can take the drive.
21:22 < tyche> And anyone else brave enough to ride with me.  HEH HEH HEH
21:22 < scott_ev> +1
21:22 < johnc4510> tyche: i figured, but wondered if she would need you
21:22  * xHans hopes Paula's surgery goes well
21:22 < johnc4510> as a nurse...disturbing idea  :)
21:22  * br24 comes back
21:22 < johnc4510> xHans: you have announcements?
21:23 < johnc4510> br24: evening bud
21:23 < matthewmpp> tyche: +1
21:23 < tyche> That should be a couple of weeks after the surgery.  She should be able to do some things for herself, at least, by then.
21:23 < slofgren> BILLY MAYS :(  http://digg.com/celebrity/RIP_Billy_Mays_Dead_at_50
21:23 < johnc4510> saw that
21:23 < slofgren> thats all I got
21:23 < johnc4510> tyche: k
21:23 < br24> hey johnc4510
21:23 < xHans> johnc4510: just a couple
21:23 < johnc4510> k
21:23 < br24> you guys are awesome
21:23 < johnc4510> lol
21:23 < johnc4510> you too bud
21:23 < br24> nah
21:23  * slofgren throws wings at br24
21:23 < xHans> we have a tentative date for ABLEconf, the 24th of Oktober at UAT
21:23 < scott_ev> and they land in his pocket
21:23  * br24 runs for the blue ranch
21:24 < johnc4510> aug 1st on installfest if you can make it br24
21:24 < xHans> we plan on having the date set for certain in 3 weeks
21:24 < br24> I might be able to
21:24 < johnc4510> cool
21:24 < johnc4510> :)
21:24 < br24> johnc4510: I want to talk with you
21:25 < slofgren> xHans: I marked my calendar
21:25 < xHans> we have several key volunteer positions that need to be filled: promo committee, sponsor committee and promo dispersion
21:25 < xHans> slofgren: danke
21:26 < xHans> the latter are essentially representatives from various organizions such as LUGY that take PR announcements from us and post them to local lists as appropriate
21:26 < johnc4510> not a hard job...since press announcements will already be put together
21:26 < xHans> that same dispersion list could be used to promote other events. Maybe like if one of the participating groups was trying to hold and Installfest sometime in the near future... :)
21:26 < johnc4510> just a matter of posting
21:27 < xHans> johnc4510: yeah
21:27 < johnc4510> nods
21:27 < xHans> although, if the disperser feels they need to be reworked for the particular audience or only part of the announcement should go out, that's up to the disperser
21:28 < xHans> there's a PLUG devel meeting this Thursday, but I don't know the topic
21:28 < Mauricio1> xHans: I have time and interest to help PLUG's maybe I can help with that activity
