Budget (Max)

Greg's expenses for him and Dennis to Brazil, and Liberty University.

Liberty University

Greg met with head of Computer Science department at Liberty University.
Looking to completely rebuild their CS curriculum around Open Source.
Talked with many CS professors, lectured at a CS class about OSS and ethics in computing.
Their professor is going to meet with Will Cohen for next steps about how they can incorporate OSS bits into curriculum.

University Tour (Jack, Max)

Max needs to get the infrastructure side up.
Albany is likely to be dropped, we need to find some new avenues into Stanford.
We need a flyer, and advertising.
Getting an update from Thinkgeek, hopefully on March 10.

Swag

Swag continues to be a horrible bottleneck. Jack needs it for University Tour, but production and distribution is a gigantic time sink and pain in the ass.
ACTION: Paul Frields will continue to work with Jeffrey Tadlock on Fedora Store stuff.
Greg wants an official way of licensing the Fedora mark.
ACTION: Paul Frields to chat with legal about easy licensing of the mark.
ACTION: Harish will look into something for APAC.

Fedora TV

Plumi is getting a lot of buzz internal to RH University.
From Fedora TV perspective, the question is still "who is going to do the work?"
Fedora TV will quickly run into space/resource issues to keep it running.
one possibility is archive.org -- one of the minuses is that there is no "we have our own video site".
no archive.org RPM -- you can't host it yourself.
on the plus side, everything they use is open source.
advantage #2 is the size of their server farm.
they do ogg video, which was the biggest point of going through all of this in the first place.
they have RSS feeds, and they work via Venus (which is the fork of Planet).

This week

Max

Max will be in Amsterdam Sat March 15 - Sun March 23.
