mchua	My update: POSSE Worcester off to a good start, details later, see list for stuff from last night.	08:35
mchua	plz take care of TOS funding questions for LinuxCon real quick if possible - and generally, the prof/POSSE grant process (that would be nice to know, to tell folks here).	08:35
mchua	POSSE China folks need to be harassed (again) for the final budget breakdown in writing, and I'm going to have to get a visa. I am behind on SCOPE stuff, will pick that up shortly, but that's on the side.	08:36
mchua	POSSE California: still need to find alolita. quaid, if you see her today, poke her - otherwise we'll have to do it tomorrow, but I want to send an email to attendees hopefully tonight.	08:36
mchua	EOF	08:36
ianweller	i just simplified my transit to the office by a lot	08:48

ianweller	spevack: the overhead lights aren't on at all now. i wonder if i'm just that early to the office, or if gregdek disabled them on his way out friday.	08:53
mchua	ianweller: Once the profs in #tos get on IRC, I'm going to be pinging you also to say hi to them, etc - get them used to interacting with folks on IRC.	09:02

ianweller	spevack: i have no-internet-at-all-at-the-apartment issues	10:04
quaid	and when we went back on Sat. night to see the closing stuff, we ended up in a late night jam	10:04
ianweller	spevack: but those are nothing new	10:04
spevack	ianweller: any word yet from AT&T?	10:05
spevack	quaid: that is really cool!	10:05
quaid	acoustic bluegrass and old time gypsy music with a big ground, so a big success from the "wife wants this out of life" perspective. :)	10:05
ianweller	spevack: other than i get a new modem in the mail tomorrow, no	10:05
spevack	now that I've had a guitar for a couple of months, I have new appreciation for how difficult it is to play even the most trivial of songs :)	10:05
ianweller	their billing department will have a brick with a note taped to it thrown through the window	10:05
quaid	oh, yeah, it's going to be the modem and not the copper to the dmarc, or the dmarc to your apartment, or the wire in the apartment ...	10:06
ianweller	quaid: i tried telling them that.	10:06
ianweller	stupid prick on the phone line wouldn't listen	10:06
ianweller	if they ship me a third modem i am going to scream on the phone line	10:06
spevack	well, I can get on the VPN, but I can't get on to my email, so if either of you wrote a response to the "this week" email, I can't see it. You can copy paste here :)	10:06
spevack	any questions for me about stuff that was on my TODO list for the week?	10:06
ianweller	spevack: the hackfest is friday, and sparks et al have me down talking about the wiki sometime that day	10:07
ianweller	spevack: so i'm not sure when you have us slated to get there	10:07
ianweller	if i have an estimated time i can throw that by sparks and see if that'll work out	10:08
spevack	ianweller: is there a hackfest agenda?	10:08
ianweller	spevack: probably not	10:08
* ianweller asks		10:08
spevack	I figure it's going to take us about 5 hours.	10:08
spevack	So we can be there by mid-afternoon	10:09
quaid	I didn't have anything to add other than ... well, I should be able to give spevack a bit more than the public stuff to discuss about Summer Coding with MRC,	10:09
spevack	quaid: sounds good. I assume a lot is being captured on the fedora wiki as well.	10:10
quaid	too much :)	10:10
spevack	quaid: has Summer Coding been pretty much all your time, aside from last week's travel?	10:10
quaid	definitely for the last few weeks, yeah	10:11
spevack	yeah, that's fine. As expected, as well. We knew it was a big taks.	10:11
spevack	er, task	10:11
quaid	yeah	10:11
quaid	esp. without a tool to handle the proposal process *whew*	10:12
quaid	spevack: I guess the main thing we should settle soon, which isn't on your list, is the schedule plans for July on the west coast	10:13
spevack	quaid: yeah, I saw you replied yesterday night, so I'll read that today. I'll also add that to my list for the week :)	10:13
quaid	k	10:14
* ianweller +1s the "settle soon" part :)		10:14
spevack	quaid: so what are some of the summer coding specifics for this week?	10:14
quaid	few schedule tweaks to work out	10:15
quaid	LOTS of communication	10:15
quaid	haven't done a bigger world announcement yet, for example	10:15
quaid	actually, I hope by mid-week that things are rolling along without much from me :)	10:15
quaid	planet.fp.o/summer-coding details	10:16
quaid	and whatever stuff the students/mentors throw my way	10:16
quaid	also, tomorrow I have a meeting with Mary Margaret, which	10:16
quaid	is my reminder to do some work today on the proposal for bBig Sponsors.	10:16
spevack	sounds good -- how would you rate your morale level on all this?	10:17
quaid	otherwise, my non-FSC stuff is i) textbook discussion on tos list (start 0.9 planning), and ii) TOSW updates and planning.	10:17
spevack	and is there anything either ian or i can do for you today?	10:17
quaid	my morale went way up when we finally told the students they could start and no one started shouting the money was too little :D	10:17
spevack	that always helps :)	10:17
quaid	no help needed my way, thanks	10:17
quaid	yeah, totally relieved that now the other people have stuff to do and not me :)	10:18
spevack	Can you work in a blog post about Open Source Bridge this week as well?	10:19
ianweller	spevack: fwiw the hackfest is starting around 1 pm. so i think we should be fine	10:19
quaid	spevack: that's on my to-do for this morning, yes, both of those items	10:19
spevack	cool, cool.	10:19
spevack	thanks quaid	10:19
quaid	@MayorSamAdams is following me on Twitter now	10:19
quaid	so I better write a good one :)	10:19
spevack	ianweller: you're up. I know from our chat on Saturday a bit of your week's plans, but why don't you lay it out so quaid can be in the loop also.	10:20
ianweller	this week's plans circle around SELF (community statistics + wiki stuff) and the brand guidelines.	10:20
ianweller	for SELF, i need to write a presentation in four days (!) about generating community statistics. i'll show off the stats pane on fedora community, and also explain where we're headed	10:21
ianweller	i will probably put datanommer development on hold for most of this week so i can get the presentation done.	10:22
ianweller	brand guidelines is just focusing on re-re-re-rewriting my draft wiki page until i like it, which is hopefully in the next couple of weeks or so.	10:22
spevack	ianweller: i think you and I should plan to share drafts of "whatever we have for SELF" tomorrow afternoon some time.	10:23
ianweller	also, sparks wants me to talk about something on sunday at SELF. not sure what yet. that conversation is happening now as well	10:23
ianweller	spevack: ok.	10:23
spevack	we can do it in here so quaid can also be part of it (if you want, quaid )	10:23
ianweller	09:23 < Sparks> I was thinking you could do a "how to properly/appropriately/correctly use the wiki" so we wouldn't have to keep fixing pages.	10:23
spevack	ianweller: where are you and sparks talking?	10:23
ianweller	spevack: -docs	10:23
* spevack got distracted over there		10:25
ianweller	yes you did. ;)	10:26
spevack	I wanted to make sure folks knew I was available for Sunday	10:26
spevack	hmmm, anything else for this channel, this meeting, right now? I don't think either of you have any expenses stuff to worry about	10:26
ianweller	i don't know how all of the SELF planning magically fell under -docs. i guess it was because we had a docs hackfest/FAD last year	10:26
ianweller	spevack: do you want me to email my goals, however general they seem, to the list	10:26
spevack	ianweller: sure!	10:27
ianweller	will do.	10:28
ianweller	i don't think i have anything more, other than /me has family slightly worried about july/CA crap, so i need to get that solidified this week	10:28
ianweller	spevack: oh. were we going to muck with commarch.usersys	10:30
spevack	ianweller: we will.	10:30
spevack	ianweller: we are, but it's a task for "I have a day and nothing else pressing" Getting organized for self is more important.	10:31
spevack	If Wednesday comes around and you're out of stuff to do, we'll rebuild the box :)	10:31
ianweller	i don't think i'm ever "out" of stuff to do	10:31
ianweller	spevack: i want to steal the LCD monitor from that machine so i can have a 2-screen setup for coding, with your permission. /me misses his dual-screen setup at home	10:31
spevack	ianweller: go ahead	10:32
ianweller	and also business cards. but that's also low priority	10:32
spevack	quaid: you all set for now? Sorry to have you up early for a relatively short meeting, but I guess you'd be up anyway	10:32
quaid	nope, I'm all good	10:34
spevack	alright, then I guess meeting over. I'll orientate folks in about 20 mins, then have lunch, then make my way back across the street.	10:35
ianweller	spevack: you suggested 11:45 was a good time to be at 1801 to steal food?	10:35
spevack	yeah, that's usually when I'm running out of stuff to say and just start making things up	10:35
ianweller	lol	10:36
ianweller	don't have me do orientation then, i get to that stage after about 10 minutes	10:36
spevack	quaid, ianweller have a good day!	10:39
ianweller	#endmeeting ;)	10:39
* mchua reads backlog		10:56
* spevack to orientation		10:56
mchua	Damn, I just missed spevack	10:58
mchua	spevack: I was going to ask about funding for TOS initiatives - first test case is LinuxCon and travel requests for that, if we wanted to get more people.	10:59
spevack	mchua: let's do it	11:07
spevack	orientation is starting late	11:07
mchua	oh, okay.	11:07
mchua	spevack: basically, "how much $ is there for TOS, how much $ of that do we want to allocate to LinuxCon, and how do we want to use that $?"	11:07
mchua	I defer to thee, o pursestring-holder.	11:07
