Marketing/US/Meetings/2014/May

=Prep=


 * NOTE: Our next meeting will probably be a videochat using WebRTC (video optional)

Pre-meeting
 jmadero: is it phone or IRC?

colonelqubit: IRC

jmadero: okay

colonelqubit: I might try to make the next one videochat via WebRTC

jmadero: that'd be cool

jmadero: computers can suck sometimes

jmadero: lol

colonelqubit: e.g. http://lambada.jitsi.net/

colonelqubit: although that's chrome-only right now

jmadero: I found out today that Chrome is by far the most popular OS

jmadero: I mean browser

jmadero: colonelqubit: what's the goal for today?

colonelqubit: primarily to check-in with people

colonelqubit: and to promote our July event

jmadero: k

colonelqubit: I've got a number of people who can't make it to the meeting in person

colonelqubit: but having the event is good so I can send them minutes/a summary

jmadero: maybe we can do a video call with some

colonelqubit: Oh -- got a ping from the Ta3m people in Seattle. They asked if I was local and could come to a meeting. I said that I'm not, but could try to show up and give a talk at some point

colonelqubit: perhaps I can do October (they have a meeting each 3rd Monday of the month)

colonelqubit: just before the SeaGL event there

jmadero: nice

colonelqubit: They said that they "wanted to see a bigger LibreOffice community in Seattle"

colonelqubit: it's great to see people suggesting things like that

colonelqubit: having boots on the ground willing to help w/that is key to creating the US Community

jmadero: yeah I just hope to see more activity

- immanuelg has joined the room

jmadero: I think we've had too many kind of show up but not do much

colonelqubit: Boston, Seattle, Portland, etc.. are going to be the best places to get things started

* colonelqubit waves at immanuelg

jmadero: yeah - just a matter of seeing them actually active

jmadero: hey immanuelg

immanuelg: hi jmadero

immanuelg: waves back at colonelqubit

colonelqubit: jmadero: I met this guy at LinuxFest NW

immanuelg: i made it!

colonelqubit: :-)

- Algot has joined the room

jmadero: hi Algot

* colonelqubit waves

Algot: Evening All!

* colonelqubit looks at the clock

colonelqubit: Algot, immanuelg: I'm convinced that when you are elected to the Board you get a really big hat

* colonelqubit motions with his hands...

colonelqubit: :-)

jmadero: it's called a big dunce hat

* colonelqubit laughs

* jmadero notes loudly that I do not represent the opinion of the board during this meeting

jmadero: ;-)

jmadero: so if I say something stupid - it's on me not the board

* colonelqubit is amused how hard it is to express nuance and inflection via IRC

jmadero: 3 more minutes and start?

* colonelqubit twirls his moustache villainously

colonelqubit: jmadero: sounds good

jmadero: colonelqubit: you're running the show ;-)

colonelqubit: immanuelg, Algot: How have you guys been

* colonelqubit points at his smaller hat and sighs...

Algot: Fine, but unproductive (sad)

Algot: No luck with the Doc Freedom Day files

Algot: Could not open them

Algot: Says Inkscape works for SVGs but my version won't open them

- Morgan has joined the room

Algot: Therefore "action" is "none" for me

Morgan: Hi

* colonelqubit waves at Morgan

Algot: Hi, Morgan

- Morgan is now known as Guest19263

Guest19263: How is everyone?

jmadero: not bad at all

jmadero: yourself?

Guest19263: Doing well, just got back from the store.

Algot: O-KEE-Doke

* colonelqubit just hiked up a waterfall

colonelqubit: ..._near_ a waterfall

jmadero: that would have been amazing

Guest19263: :-)

Algot: Sounds like "Last of the Mohicans

colonelqubit: http://www.kgw.com/news/Large-rock-falls-on-iconic-bridge-at-Multnomah-Falls-239483641.html?gallery=y&img=2&c=y

colonelqubit: There's this neat bridge that's been around for decades, and just recently a rock came down and poked a hole in it

* colonelqubit. o O (...the bridge is MS-Office, and the rock was LibreOffice...)

Guest19263: That stinks

Guest19263: Lol

Guest19263: Oooops

jmadero: shall we begin? :-D

jmadero: not to rush or anything but I'll be taking off in 45

Guest19263: sure

colonelqubit: jmadero: yep, is kohei around?

jmadero: just pinged him

jmadero: and Norbert

colonelqubit: dope

Start
Put start time and attendees list in the table

Agenda

 * NOTE: Because we bounced-around from topic to topic, I'm going to reorganize the IRC minutes a bit so that the discussion pertaining to each Agenda ITEM will sit below the item on this page.

 colonelqubit: Okay, let's start things off

colonelqubit: START: 5:14pm here on the West Coast

colonelqubit: I think everyone has said hello

- kohei has joined the room

colonelqubit: It's beautiful here today, and I hope it's beautiful for the rest of you!

* colonelqubit waves at kohei

* jmadero warns that kohei1 has warned he is just going to lurk and not say much as he's busy

jmadero: ;-)

kohei: hey there

Algot: hey here, too.

colonelqubit: For those of you who don't know, kohei is one of our Ace Calc developers

Guest19263: Nice!

Algot: Cool

colonelqubit: We don't have many devs in the US right now, but we're hoping to increase their number!

Welcome

 * How is everyone?
 * Introductions

 jmadero: I think one good thing would be to hear what each of the new faces want to do on the project (just so we have an idea of how to get each of you a little more active)

immanuelg: ok im back

jmadero: oh and where everyone is from - as we're trying to see how we can increase the # of live get togethers in the states

jmadero: (and possibly Canada)

colonelqubit: Sounds good

Algot: Natick, MA

immanuelg: colonelqubit:: im not sure ill ever make it to the Board, I am not even an official member yet. Membership is complicated

Algot: User

jmadero: Algot: any hopes for near future

jmadero: in terms of moving towards contributing

jmadero: ?

Algot: Not a coder

Algot: Hope to help marketing

jmadero: Algot: interested in QA at all?

* jmadero ALWAYS pushes for QA people

Guest19263: << Morgan >> Somerville, MA >> Marketing/Event Planning

jmadero: immanuelg: how about you

immanuelg: id like to get more involved to grow New England once i move to NH. I think there's a great potential there, great tech community and Boston's proximity must be leveraged

colonelqubit: :-)

Guest19263: :-D

 * ACTION: Check with local librarians abt. LO on computers (For all to do).
 * April 18 - Checked w/a couple Librarians. They didn't even know about it -- gave them pamphlet and stickers. (Robinson)

 colonelqubit: jmadero: Algot and I are going to talk more about some marketing and pamphlet design

colonelqubit: he mentioned that he ran into some trouble opening SVG files in Inkscape, but I'll chat w/him after the meeting

jmadero: kk good

colonelqubit: Really quickly -- one of our primary goals with the US Community is to spread information and awareness of TDF/LibreOffice

colonelqubit: So remember our action item from last time:

''ACTION: Check with local librarians abt. LO on computers (For all to do).''

Guest19263: Ok

immanuelg: thats a great action item!

jmadero: good luck with that colonelqubit - seriously I think you might be running head first into a wall

colonelqubit: I'm sorry I don't have pamphlets for all of you right now, but we're going to get those printed up asap, and I'll send-out packets to everyone who's active in the US

jmadero: county IT departments hate change

jmadero: and when the computers come preinstalled with Windows + MSO

colonelqubit: jmadero: sure, I'm not looking to migrate anyone new right now

jmadero: hard to convince them

colonelqubit: I'm just hoping to find some sympathetic folks who would be okay with a stack of pamphlets and/or a poster up on their board

colonelqubit: just a basic "Hey! This product exists"

jmadero: yeah for sure

immanuelg: i migrated my mom from openoffice 3.3 to LO 4.3 :-)

Guest19263: Yes!

jmadero: sorry guys I have to run ,will leave this open so I can catch up when I get back

* jmadero waves

* colonelqubit waves at jmadero running away

jmadero: if there are additional action iitems

colonelqubit: ...give them to Joel

jmadero: you know, plug me in and I'll take them (within reason)

jmadero: ;-)

jmadero: after Monday's meeting my list is to 25

Newcomers

 * We have a state-by-state roster of our team members
 * Please add your name/contact info so we can get in touch
 * Having local contacts makes outreach possible



Infrastructure

 * What's new since last month?


 * Still not up:
 * Etherpad: http://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/libreoffice-us
 * Website: http://us.libreoffice.org
 * Algot offered to help


 * Feel free to hang out on the IRC channel

 Guest19263: Does LibreOffice US have any social media pages?

Guest19263: I found Twitter.

colonelqubit: I tried to use the FSF's outreach people to email-out about my Document Freedom Day event, but didn't get much success. With enough lead time, we can definitely go through them

jmadero: Guest19263: not that I know of, but colonelqubit was looking into some

immanuelg: Guest19263: the pump.io account is setup

colonelqubit: Guest19263: yes, we have twitter, pump.io

jmadero: would be nice to do facebook (yawn) and google plus

Guest19263: I can do those two.

jmadero: Guest19263: you interested in leading that a bit

jmadero: :-)

jmadero: perfect

colonelqubit: That's about it. I'm not hot about Facebook or G+, but would be happy to help set those up if people can help to lead them

Guest19263: I love working social media.

colonelqubit: That would be great

jmadero: good

Guest19263: Cool

colonelqubit: ACTION: Robinson and Morgan will set up Facebook and G+ accounts for LibreOffice US Community

Guest19263: :-D

colonelqubit: ACTION: Morgan will take point on social media presence/alerts

jmadero: so with the social media, once they are established I suggest going to mailing lists and inviting people

jmadero: make it really active

* colonelqubit nods

jmadero: especially user list - we need to encourage more users to move to contributing

jmadero: ....our teams are just stretched to thin

colonelqubit: I've gotten some encouragement from up in Seattle

jmadero: good, and that trip is close enough for me that I can do it if I have locals to help with the seting up

jmadero: setting*

jmadero: ideally we'd have at least 10 people per region

Swag

 * Current status

 immanuelg: 1 more question

colonelqubit: shoot

immanuelg: does LO/TDF have anything that we can sell at a vendors' booth?

immanuelg: like the t-shirts?

colonelqubit: I have a few shirts in Vermont; you thinking about PorcFest?

immanuelg: yes :-)

colonelqubit: Yeah, ping me on email and we can work something out

immanuelg: sounds good

colonelqubit: Perhaps we can fund our next batch of shirts with our current one :-)

Events

 * June meeting
 * Dates/times?
 * ACTION: Robinson needs to schedule the June meeting


 * Event calendar for the US

 colonelqubit: ITEM: EVENTS

colonelqubit: Right now we have July 26-27 scoped-out for our US Summer Hackfest

immanuelg: alright

colonelqubit: OSCON limited their non-profit booths to about 20-ish this year, and we were selected. Hooray!

Guest19263: Where is OSCON?

colonelqubit: OSCON is in Portland, Oregon

immanuelg: i also have some ideas for sponsors

Guest19263: Ah, okay

colonelqubit: We'll have 3 passes; two for the booth and one 3-day pass. I haven't figured out what the difference is right now, but I believe that I have a local person interested in helping out

Guest19263: Ok

colonelqubit: It's a multi-day event, held during the work-week, so it might be nice to have a handful of people who can help staff the booth

colonelqubit: if you guys know of anyone in the area who'd be interested, please let me know. Here are dates: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2014/OSCON

Guest19263: I can't really travel, I would love to though if I could.

colonelqubit: Guest19263: no worries -- we'll be looking forward to your help in Boston!

jmadero: indeed - ideally we'll have close to locals in every location

jmadero: with colonelqubit doing the around the world trips

Guest19263: :-)

* colonelqubit pats his grey hairs

colonelqubit: Aside from OSCON, we've got Texas Linux Fest coming up in June

jmadero: colonelqubit: do we have a wiki with all of these listed?

colonelqubit: jmadero: events? Yes, I believe

colonelqubit: Open Source Bridge (possibly) in June (also in Portland)

colonelqubit: our Summer Hackfest in Boston in July

colonelqubit: Fossetcon in Orlando, FL in September

colonelqubit: and SeaGL in Seattle, WA in October

Guest19263: Alright, what's next?

* colonelqubit checks the Agenda

colonelqubit: Next time we're going to try to have a Venue for July

colonelqubit: set up Social Media accounts

colonelqubit: Joel will ascertain which devs can attend

Event Box:

colonelqubit: I'm going to try to get a lead on printing-up stickers and more pamphlets

jmadero: colonelqubit: and I'll go to the user list

colonelqubit: Our conference box is coming together: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/US/Box

jmadero: colonelqubit: we might be doing a large order of pamphlets for something else, hit me up about it

colonelqubit: I took that to LinuxFest NW and it worked out really well -- the conference organizers need to borrow a few things like tape from me!

colonelqubit: s/need/needed/

jmadero: colonelqubit: also I think we should buy that pelican box by next time

jmadero: we should definitely have that kit together by July

jmadero: so you can lug it with you

colonelqubit: thanks...

colonelqubit: :-)

jmadero: any time

jmadero: I want to see you curl it with one arm

immanuelg: one whole chicken in the event box ?

jmadero: so for everyone here, we're putting together a conference kit - if you have ideas of what should be in it, send qubit and myself an email

colonelqubit: ACTION: Joel/Robinson will assemble the parts for v1.0 of the US Events Box

jmadero: colonelqubit: did that chromebook arrive?

jmadero: chrome book?

jmadero: two words

jmadero: one

colonelqubit: jmadero: chrome box

jmadero: chrom e bo x

colonelqubit: yep, it's here. Also got the "asset tags"

jmadero: perfect, next is a tv or a monitor

* jmadero thinks tv

jmadero: but happy with a monitor also

colonelqubit: (note the quote marks...they look more like return address stickers :-P)

colonelqubit: immanuelg: re: chicken, you'll note that it says "# in the box: zero, # we want: zero" :-)

immanuelg: colonelqubit: for the event box add promotional push pens

immanuelg: those are cheap and can be given out as freebies

jmadero: nice - but if we purchase something before that it'd be nice to have it

jmadero: Europe is awaiting our results for the conference box

jmadero: so hopefully we have a complete one together by July

Guest19263: Awesome

colonelqubit: jmadero: Yeah, I'm happy to play guinea pig

jmadero: +1

* colonelqubit checks the Agenda

jmadero: something goes wrong - you'll get the bill

* colonelqubit quacks like a duck

immanuelg: when we;re done with the event box, id like to add an item on the agenda

colonelqubit: immanuelg: sure, one second

jmadero: sure - I have to leave in just a couple

jmadero: friends from out of town are awaiting

jmadero: with small child who is hungry

US Summer Hackfest
This will be our primary US event for the year...

 jmadero: and any of you going to try to make the trip to Boston in July?

jmadero: immanuelg: I believe I saw your name

jmadero: colonelqubit: want to talk a bit about that

colonelqubit: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2014/US_Summer_Hackfest

Algot: I hope to be there

Guest19263: Ah! I have an update!

colonelqubit: Guest19263: great -- any notes about venue?

immanuelg: yes jmadero the Boston hackfest was my idea

jmadero: lol I know ;-)

immanuelg: it started as a hackfest idea for Montreal, but lack of people who want to help led me to suggest Boston

Guest19263: Yes! It looks like our best choices are NERD or MIT STATA.

immanuelg: its a good way to test the waters for a host application for 2015 LibCon

colonelqubit: Guest19263: heh -- I was half-joking about the NERD

immanuelg: LibOCon*

Guest19263: Good :-)

Guest19263: I prefer Stata

jmadero: so Guest19263 you are attending ?

colonelqubit: Guest19263: but if they'd like to host us...

Guest19263: Yes

Guest19263: NERD... Ick

colonelqubit: General question: Does anyone have contacts at MIT/etc... ?

immanuelg: And I already know that Charles and Sophie are behind me to expand outreach in North America

jmadero: that puts us at 4 confirmed - and two probably (kohei and Algot)

jmadero: immanuelg: yes - the board is fully on board

jmadero: it's just finding the right strategy to do so

colonelqubit: I have some indirect contacts to MIT, but would appreciate more

jmadero: looks like we have strength in the north east

colonelqubit: I was thinking we could also talk to the FSF, as they held LibrePlanet at the Stata Center

jmadero: so maybe more events around there, then flying out to SF/LA area on the west

Algot: I've participated with the Scratch group at MIT

Algot: Might offer contacts

jmadero: +1

immanuelg: i dont know anyone at MIT but I know Lawrence Lessig is at Harvard Law

* jmadero wonders if we can encourage some advanced students to attend - maybe have kohei mentor them on a section of the code

immanuelg: MIT is a hot place, they are giving bitcoin away to their students

jmadero: take on some easy hacks over a long stretch over beer and pizza

jmadero: it's too bad the timing doesn't work for Norbert also

jmadero: colonelqubit: have you pinged the dev list at all about europeans in the US during that time?

kohei: would be nice to have at least some europeans.

colonelqubit: So if we think MIT is our ideal location, and we have some dates (26-27), I think a couple of us should spearhead getting space at Stata

colonelqubit: jmadero: I have not pinged the dev list yet

Guest19263: Brb

jmadero: colonelqubit: I believe 26/27 at MIT would be awesome

colonelqubit: jmadero, kohei: Would one of you like to check in with the dev list?

jmadero: I will

colonelqubit: ACTION: Joel will liaise w/the developers to see who will be in the US around the time of the US Summer Hackfest

immanuelg: how likely is it that FSF will get behind the hackfest and help with the venue ?

Guest19263: Not sure, I can try to reach out.

colonelqubit: immanuelg: I think there's a good chance. I had dinner w/the FSF exec director at LinuxFest NW, and they're on our TDF advisory board

colonelqubit: I have some connections w/some other Free-Software people in the Boston area

Guest19263: Awesome

immanuelg: awesome

immanuelg: another possible venue: Berkman Center For Internet & Society (Harvard) ?

colonelqubit: If Guest19263 and I have some contacts w/MIT, why don't the two of us work on securing the venue?

colonelqubit: immanuelg: sounds like a good backup plan

Guest19263: Didn't think of that one.

Guest19263: SOunds good

colonelqubit: ACTION: Robinson and Morgan will work on securing venue (MIT Stata preferred) before June meeting

jmadero: okay I'll tackle going to the mailing lists - you two tackle venue (and possibly start looking into hotels)

Guest19263: Great!

jmadero: then we need to start finding more people - so spamming personal connections to invite

colonelqubit: Correct

immanuelg: jmadero: i forgot why the dates were july 26-27 instead of the previous weekend before the 4.3 release?

jmadero: what were those dates?

colonelqubit: Given that we have a # of people here in this meeting from the Boston area, I'd love to see if we could meet up for coffee or whatever sometime before July

immanuelg: July 18/19/20

colonelqubit: immanuelg: the weekend prior I'll be in Portland for OSCON

jmadero: oh yes, I knew there was a conflict

colonelqubit: (and Community Leadership Summit)

colonelqubit: Which is a perfect segue... :-)

* colonelqubit checks our Meeting Agenda

immanuelg: more venue ideas: http://www.vencaf.org/directions/ and https://www.cambridgehackspace.com/

colonelqubit: (ACTION: Add Immanuel to the Venue-selecting team... :-) )

immanuelg: about Boston hotels/hotels, we can copy the list from here https://wiki.gnome.org/Events/Summit/Boston/LocalHotels

Guest19263: Ha!

jmadero: those seem um - expensive?

immanuelg: and restaurants https://wiki.gnome.org/Events/Summit/Boston/NearbyRestaurants

kohei: $100 a night!

kohei: no, double that

jmadero: lol I'll do a little digging

Algot: Boston is not cheap in tourist season

Guest19263: I can put someone up on my couch :-D

Guest19263: Lol

jmadero: maybe if we have 10 I can get us a bit of a discount

Guest19263: Hostels?

jmadero: that's an option - not ideal but possible

Guest19263: There's one in Downtown Boston.

colonelqubit: jmadero: So one option w/hostels is to rent-out a room

colonelqubit: that we can lock, etc..

jmadero: yes that's better - we'll have some expensive stuff with us

colonelqubit: that might give us cheaper accommodations if we have a number of people coming in from out of town

jmadero: I mean it's a single night right?

jmadero: or are we doing 2

colonelqubit: it depends upon when people arrive and leave

colonelqubit: if people arrive Friday and leave Sunday, that'd be 2 nights

jmadero: yeah, I'll be arriving early Saturday morning (early like 2am)

immanuelg: theres several hostels in Boston

jmadero: worst case I can go to a club and party for 6 hours before starting ;-)

jmadero: juuuust kidding (I'm too old for that)

Algot: Way to old

colonelqubit: :-)

jmadero: we just need security

immanuelg: you're never too old for hostels

jmadero: so we need to be able to lock doors

colonelqubit: yep, we can make that work

jmadero: lol too old to club

jmadero: and party all night

jmadero: I hit a wall around 1am these days

* jmadero is sad to admit I've grown up

Algot: 9:00pm

Algot: My wall

colonelqubit: I'd be happy to have some of us go out for drinks

jmadero: lol my work day is usually 7am - 11pm

jmadero: colonelqubit: yes for sure, I'd love to Saturday night

Guest19263: We should do a dinner/drinks Friday or Saturday evening.

colonelqubit: if we do have some younger people who aren't over 21, we'll make sure to organize something else for them

jmadero: get a decent meal and have some drinks

jmadero: yeah

colonelqubit: or find ourselves a venue for all ages

jmadero: indeed - chuck e cheese

colonelqubit: lol

colonelqubit: Do they serve beers now?

Algot: Ha!

jmadero: lol who knows

jmadero: starbucks is going to soon

Algot: Can supply monitor and projector for July

colonelqubit: Algot: cool

Algot: Monitor & projector just for July mtg.

jmadero: colonelqubit: another action item - shirts for anyone who attends in July

colonelqubit: jmadero: guess who's getting that one?

jmadero: lol ummmmmmm

jmadero: chicken

colonelqubit: ACTION: Joel/Robinson/chicken - Arrange for t-shirts for US Summer Hackfest

Immanuel: Ignite Talk at PorcFest
 colonelqubit: immanuelg: I think you had something to discuss?

immanuelg: ok thanks

immanuelg: id like to give a Ignite talk (6 minutes) at PorcFest in June

immanuelg: so i was wondering if i could get some help on prepping my speech

colonelqubit: immanuelg: Sure, what help could we give you?

immanuelg: just the talking points

immanuelg: how do you present LO in 6 minutes

colonelqubit: So just a basic talk about LibreOffice?

immanuelg: yes

colonelqubit: I've been meaning to do a couple of talks like that

jmadero: it would be nice to have a shared presentation

colonelqubit: Perhaps I could record a couple of 5 - 10 minute talks and then put them up somewhere?

jmadero: that we can say "this is the basic 101"

colonelqubit: I could make up slides, etc..

jmadero: +1

colonelqubit: Awesome. I'll rope-in some of our Senior Marketing people like Italo and Charles to help

Guest19263: Sounds interesting.

Guest19263: I need to get going.

colonelqubit: ACTION: Immanuel/Robinson (w/help from Italo/Charles) will prepare basic talks (Slides, Talking points) and a couple of example videos

Algot: Likewise...gong

- Guest19263 has disconnected (Quit: Page closed)

colonelqubit: Cool, I'm about done here
