 * 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.
