If you want to chat before the call, just email or ping me on IRC: @nuritzi.

Re: Request for budget to update the event box contents

[Elle O]

Mostly replying to Nuritzi:

So I don't know how serious the box storage situation is, but if you really
need to store boxes and want to do so economically (and only access them
once a month or less), I highly recommend Kennedy moving and Storage down
in the Bayview area of San Francisco. It's best suited for people with a
car who don't mind calling ahead by a day and making an appointment to
access the box. The positives are that it's CHEAP: around $60 a month for a
box the size of a medium sized bathroom, and the staff are competent,
reliable and friendly. Negatives are that it's not that easy to access, but
easily doable if you have a car, and only need to get at it occasionally.

Also, I wouldn't you ask you to reschedule the calls for me...just throwing
the timing issue out there. I'm in the middle of internship hunt season, so
my hours are pretty sporadic/lots of late nights anyway. But early morning
is defintely not my happy time lately. :0

If you send me the assets (should you have any) and clarify the
needs/actual issues, then I'm happy to take a look/work on it. What is the
geographical issue with sizing? It's a DPI problem, or? Usually, if you're
using vector files/PNG sizing shouldn't be a major issues, but sometimes
moving assets into production will require small tweaks (provided the files
were made to be resizable).

Thanks!

We can definitely add more! Just as an FYI, one of the problems we've faced
in the past is designing print-outs in the correct size for different
geographical locations. If you'd be interested in helping us create a few
new items for events we would love the help!

Yeah, we scheduled calls at that time so we could encourage our friends in
Asia to join. The time is still pretty terrible for them, and now is also
pretty bad for us on the West Coast of the US, so we may have to rethink
meeting times yet again. If the meeting time were to shift 30 minutes later,
would that help you join, or when would you generally be able to join? Just
curious :)

Also -- we are now using the Engagement team workboard on GitLab
 in order to
work together asynchronously. Let me know if you want to jump on a call
sometime and learn how to use it if you don't already know how to! Also,
feel free to send me your username and I can add you to the board.

There are a few issues at play: 1) we've tried to recover the box for
several years now (even before I joined the Engagement team), without
success; and 2) everything in the box is pretty old by now and would need a
serious refresh anyway. The Engagement team discussed this on a call a few
times and we would really like to create a new box if we move forward with
having a box in North America. One problem though is that we don't have a
designated place to store the box.

Endless donated a GNOME tablecloth last year that I have stored in SF and
can add to a North American travel box.

*@Sri *-- do you think System 76 has any extra storage space? :)
Unfortunately, the Endless office in SF doesn't have a lot of storage
space, so I would only be able to keep the small box with me.

I think it makes sense to have two boxes, a small one and a large one.
Noted: we should buy a sturdy box.

Re: Service decommissioning: tasks, ethercalc

[Andrea Veri]

CCing engagement-list as well as ethercalc was much likely requested
by that team.

Thanks,
