[12:11] <jokeefe> So 1.  Conference Status
[12:11] <jokeefe> most of what I have is already in the notes
[12:11] <jokeefe> We could use name tags and a cash box
[12:12] <jokeefe> Anyone up for picking those up and donating them?
[12:13] <SplendidSpoon> Name tags like "hello, my name is."
[12:13] <jokeefe> yes
[12:13] <K`Tetch> cardboard, tape and safety pins?
[12:14] <jokeefe> something more professional than that
[12:14] <K`Tetch> 9might be xcheater)
[12:14] <K`Tetch> *cheaper
[12:14] <SplendidSpoon> Think they are at K-Mart?
[12:14] <K`Tetch> the 'hello my name is' ones have always seemed 'cheap' and unprofessional
[12:14] <SplendidSpoon> Because if that stuff is at K-Mart I can get i
[12:14] <SplendidSpoon> it*
[12:15] <jokeefe> It might be there, but office supply places are more likely to have them.
[12:15] <SplendidSpoon> ok
[12:15] <SplendidSpoon> Like a Staples
[12:15] <jokeefe> yes
[12:15] <SplendidSpoon> and money-box is like a locked box with a hole in it
[12:15] <SplendidSpoon> to put cash in
[12:15] <SplendidSpoon> I can get those
[12:15] <SplendidSpoon> I live near a staples and a k-mart and have car so it's easy errands
[12:16] <jokeefe> doesnt need a hole since people will likely need change.  That it can open is good.  Thanks for getting those!
[12:16] <SplendidSpoon> oh ok
[12:16] <SplendidSpoon> I can find some good stuff hopefully no problem
[12:17] <SplendidSpoon> I put posters up around coffeeshops in Kendall
[12:17] <jokeefe> thanks!
[12:17] <SplendidSpoon> so maybe we'll get strangers!
[12:17] <jokeefe> hopefully, got over a 100 new views of the conference page from ars & torrentfreak articles
[12:18] <SplendidSpoon> Yea
[12:18] <jokeefe> I put some up in Somerville.  Need to do more
[12:18] <jokeefe> colleges
[12:18] <SplendidSpoon> I've been talking with the people in telecomix kopimism and pirate chats
[12:18] <SplendidSpoon> they are very happy to see us doing this
[12:18] <jokeefe> any in MA or NE coming?
[12:19] <jokeefe> BTW: the latest flier is the best, so when you put up more, use that one
[12:19] <SplendidSpoon> ok
[12:19] <SplendidSpoon> Dunno who's coming
[12:20] <SplendidSpoon> these are international people in these rooms mostly
[12:20] <SplendidSpoon> like, the guy who started kopimism
[12:20] <SplendidSpoon> and friends
[12:20] <K`Tetch> when i did the flyer for the tf piece, I used what was on the conference page, is thta not the latest?
[12:20] <jokeefe> it was until I updated it last night
[12:21] <jokeefe> been the flier from heck
[12:21] <K`Tetch> oh...
[12:21] <K`Tetch> have you got a copy on scribd, so I can change it
[12:22] <jokeefe> not on scripd.  though I guess I can upload it.  latest is at http://www.masspirates.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ConferencePosterLogo.pdf
[12:22] <K`Tetch> always put it on scribds, that way you've got an easy way for people to embed it on their own sites
[12:28] == bsod [~bsod@dhcp-0-11-50-0-40-7a.cpe.townisp.com] has joined #masspirates
[12:28] == [bsod] [~bsod@dhcp-0-11-50-0-40-7a.cpe.townisp.com] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[12:28] <jokeefe> good plan
[12:28] <K`Tetch> I killed the meeting :-(
[12:28] <jokeefe> I am here
[12:29] <SplendidSpoon> ok so what time should I show up to help with conference?
[12:29] <SplendidSpoon> I plan to be there to help the WHOLE time
[12:29] <jokeefe> 9am?
[12:29] <SplendidSpoon> okey dokey
[12:29] <SplendidSpoon> also whats parking situation there
[12:29] <jokeefe> I plan to be there then to setup.  My guess is that it will be slow for the first hour
[12:30] <SplendidSpoon> How are you getting there?
[12:30] <jokeefe> Harvard Sq. on a Saturday, park at Alewife MBTA and take the Red line to Harvard Sq.
[12:30] <jokeefe> I plan to take the MBTA
[12:30] <jokeefe> though if I am late, there is expensive parking in the area
[12:30] <SplendidSpoon> hmm
[12:31] <SplendidSpoon> I have free parking in kendall sq
[12:31] <SplendidSpoon> which is sorta close to red line
[12:31] <SplendidSpoon> I think I'll just park there
[12:31] <jokeefe> that works too
[12:31] <jokeefe> Next - 2. May 12th Film Festival - conference price?
[12:32] <SplendidSpoon> No idea
[12:33] <jokeefe> neither do I
[12:33] <jokeefe> perhaps we should just do free
[12:33] <jokeefe> then ask for donations
[12:33] <erixoltan> sure
