15:32.57 | plarsen | So is Sat 29th Fredlug meeting going to be a "Fedora install fest" party?? :) |
15:40.26 | jsmith | plarsen: Works for me |
15:40.34 | jsmith | plarsen: I'll bring a PXE boot server, if you want |
15:40.41 | plarsen | That's an idea. |
15:40.56 | plarsen | I always bring switches and some cat5 wires. |
15:41.27 | plarsen | Should 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? |
15:42.16 | jsmith | I think those are all great ideas |
15:42.21 | plarsen | So I'll try to get a live USB ready for that meeting too. |
15:42.33 | jsmith | Or do we want to hold off until we can spread the word a bit more? |
15:42.37 | jsmith | stickster: What do you think? |
15:43.02 | stickster | I like it! |
15:43.18 | plarsen | wonders why he ALWAYs messes up life and live in writting .... |
15:43.19 | stickster | Can someone get in touch with the Free Lance-Star and see if they can run a spot on the community events calendar? |
15:43.40 | jsmith | can't... |
15:43.44 | plarsen | stickster: do you have a contact there? Or just call a general number? |
15:43.49 | stickster | jsmith is out of the country, yeah |
15:43.54 | plarsen | :) |
15:43.57 | plarsen | I may be able to. |
15:44.01 | plarsen | But I know nobody there |
15:44.13 | stickster | http://fredericksburg.com/community/entertainment/events/addevent |
15:44.21 | plarsen | clicking ... |
15:44.44 | plarsen | stickster: can you see if we may be able to get 1-2 more hours at the library? |
15:44.45 | stickster | They want a little more advance notice, but still worth submitting |
15:44.49 | stickster | Will do |
15:45.35 | plarsen | Category is "public meeting" ? |
15:46.51 | stickster | Yes |
15:46.51 | plarsen | hmmm - need a better title than "Install Fest" |
15:49.18 | stickster | "Free Installation Event" |
15:49.38 | stickster | "Free Installation Party" |
15:50.51 | plarsen | "Give your old computer a second life" event? :) |
15:51.02 | plarsen | Problem is I would love for newer computers to be part of it too |
15:51.12 | plarsen | To show the nice stuff "we" can do. |
15:51.21 | plarsen | 2010-05-25 is still the official release date right? |
15:52.59 | plarsen | description: 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. |
15:53.28 | plarsen | hmmm - a bit wary about giving my cell phone number there. |
16:05.55 | plarsen | jsmith: is there a way to get a "temporary" public phone number that simply forwards to your phone? |
16:06.10 | plarsen | Not sure I'm going to post my cell number in a paper. |
16:06.20 | plarsen | "your phone" meaning mine :) |
16:12.39 | jsmith | plarsen: Sure... google voice! |
16:13.04 | plarsen | jsmith: I have one but it's just my cell phone attached. |
16:13.09 | plarsen | Checking it out if I can create another :) |
16:13.37 | jsmith | Ah, gotcha |
16:13.47 | jsmith | If not, I've got a number we can use... somewhere... if I can find it |
16:14.39 | plarsen | Can someone try to call 804 214 6647? That's my "google number" what-ever that means. |
16:19.11 | plarsen | doesn't seem to be what I think it is. |
17:47.09 | plarsen | Any luck on a number? |
17:47.27 | plarsen | I've got everything else ready - but I'm not ready have my phone go off for months after this event ;) |
17:47.53 | plarsen | Can't seem to get google to create a second temporary number forwarding to my phone. |
17:48.01 | plarsen | jsmith: if you know a way, I'm all ears :D |

18:39.40 | plarsen | Not a lot of room to mention Fedora :) |
18:45.05 | stickster | That looks fine to em |
18:45.07 | stickster | *me |
18:45.11 | plarsen | cool. |
18:45.11 | stickster | I see no reason to mention Linux or Fedora |
18:45.28 | plarsen | Your 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. |
18:45.39 | plarsen | stickster: there's no room :[ only 255 characters |
18:45.42 | stickster | Does anyone have copies of those fliers from SFD about free software and Linux? |
18:45.50 | plarsen | fredericksburg.com/community/entertainment/events/useredit?event_id=1274467518 |
18:45.52 | stickster | We could give those to people who show up |
18:45.59 | plarsen | Good idea. |
18:46.07 | plarsen | I think I printed some. I'll check. |
18:52.05 | plarsen | It 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. |
18:52.08 | plarsen | I don't have that one. |
18:52.17 | plarsen | flyer* |
18:54.22 | stickster | Aha |
18:55.06 | stickster | plarsen: http://fredlug.googlegroups.com/web/sfd2009-one-sheet.odt |
18:55.20 | plarsen | THAT fixed that :) |
18:55.31 | stickster | Yay for public file stores! |
18:55.35 | plarsen | A few modifications - yeah I can make that happen. |
18:57.42 | plarsen | done :) |
18:58.09 | plarsen | since it looks like I've started my weekend already (it's SOOO quiet here) I'll head home and start printing this weekend :) |
