15:32.57plarsenSo is Sat 29th Fredlug meeting going to be a "Fedora install fest" party?? :)
15:40.26jsmithplarsen: Works for me
15:40.34jsmithplarsen: I'll bring a PXE boot server, if you want
15:40.41plarsenThat's an idea.
15:40.56plarsenI always bring switches and some cat5 wires.
15:41.27plarsenShould we get the word out to outside fredlug? Like a community fest? Bring your old machine and we'll bring it to live. See if we can have the room for maybe 4 hours instead of 2?
15:42.16jsmithI think those are all great ideas
15:42.21plarsenSo I'll try to get a live USB ready for that meeting too.
15:42.33jsmithOr do we want to hold off until we can spread the word a bit more?
15:42.37jsmithstickster: What do you think?
15:43.02sticksterI like it!
15:43.18plarsenwonders why he ALWAYs messes up life and live in writting ....
15:43.19sticksterCan someone get in touch with the Free Lance-Star and see if they can run a spot on the community events calendar?
15:43.40jsmithcan't...
15:43.44plarsenstickster: do you have a contact there? Or just call a general number?
15:43.49sticksterjsmith is out of the country, yeah
15:43.54plarsen:)
15:43.57plarsenI may be able to.
15:44.01plarsenBut I know nobody there
15:44.13sticksterhttp://fredericksburg.com/community/entertainment/events/addevent
15:44.21plarsenclicking ...
15:44.44plarsenstickster: can you see if we may be able to get 1-2 more hours at the library?
15:44.45sticksterThey want a little more advance notice, but still worth submitting
15:44.49sticksterWill do
15:45.35plarsenCategory is "public meeting" ?
15:46.51sticksterYes
15:46.51plarsenhmmm - need a better title than "Install Fest"
15:49.18stickster"Free Installation Event"
15:49.38stickster"Free Installation Party"
15:50.51plarsen"Give your old computer a second life" event? :)
15:51.02plarsenProblem is I would love for newer computers to be part of it too
15:51.12plarsenTo show the nice stuff "we" can do.
15:51.21plarsen2010-05-25  is still the official release date right?
15:52.59plarsendescription: Do you have an old computer that can't run the latest commercial software? Do you want to try a new and better experience with computer software - for FREE? Bring your old computer and see what it is still capable of.
15:53.28plarsenhmmm - a bit wary about giving my cell phone number there.
16:05.55plarsenjsmith: is there a way to get a "temporary" public phone number that simply forwards to your phone?
16:06.10plarsenNot sure I'm going to post my cell number in a paper.
16:06.20plarsen"your phone" meaning mine :)
16:12.39jsmithplarsen: Sure... google voice!
16:13.04plarsenjsmith: I have one but it's just my cell phone attached.
16:13.09plarsenChecking it out if I can create another :)
16:13.37jsmithAh, gotcha
16:13.47jsmithIf not, I've got a number we can use... somewhere... if I can find it
16:14.39plarsenCan someone try to call 804 214 6647? That's my "google number" what-ever that means.
16:19.11plarsendoesn't seem to be what I think it is.
17:47.09plarsenAny luck on a number?
17:47.27plarsenI've got everything else ready - but I'm not ready have my phone go off for months after this event ;)
17:47.53plarsenCan't seem to get google to create a second temporary number forwarding to my phone.
17:48.01plarsenjsmith: if you know a way, I'm all ears :D

18:38.27plarsenyou guys ok with the description above?
18:38.32plarsenIf so - away it goes!

18:39.40plarsenNot a lot of room to mention  Fedora :)
18:45.05sticksterThat looks fine to em
18:45.07stickster*me
18:45.11plarsencool.
18:45.11sticksterI see no reason to mention Linux or Fedora
18:45.28plarsenYour event has been entered into the calendar database, and an e-mail has been sent to the site administrators for verification. Please note, the event does not show up in our calendar until it has been verified.
18:45.39plarsenstickster: there's no room :[ only 255 characters
18:45.42sticksterDoes anyone have copies of those fliers from SFD about free software and Linux?
18:45.50plarsenfredericksburg.com/community/entertainment/events/useredit?event_id=1274467518
18:45.52sticksterWe could give those to people who show up
18:45.59plarsenGood idea.
18:46.07plarsenI think I printed some. I'll check.
18:52.05plarsenIt looks like all I have is the list of software on the disk. stickster I think you were thinking of the flying that talked about Fredlug and generally about open source.
18:52.08plarsenI don't have that one.
18:52.17plarsenflyer*
18:54.22sticksterAha
18:55.06sticksterplarsen: http://fredlug.googlegroups.com/web/sfd2009-one-sheet.odt
18:55.20plarsenTHAT fixed that :)
18:55.31sticksterYay for public file stores!
18:55.35plarsenA few modifications - yeah I can make that happen.
18:57.42plarsendone :)
18:58.09plarsensince it looks like I've started my weekend already (it's SOOO quiet here) I'll head home and start printing this weekend :)
