1. Ohio Linux Fest itself had a Keysigning party last year, as one of Friday night's BoF sessions: http://ohiolinux.org/bofs I wasn't there, since I didn't come until Saturday AM, so I'm not sure how successful it was. I might just ask the BoF session organizers whether there are plans to do one already so we don't step on anyone's toes or compete. Or, if there was such a big demand that they could support one each on Friday and Saturday, then that could also work. In that case, I think aiming for our keysigning as part of Ubucon would be better.
2. Stickers would be cool. I know when I ordered from the Canonical store, the biggest expense I had was shipping, so it might really be worth making our own Ubuntu Ohio stickers, and the quote from Moo sounds reasonable. (Is 400 a good number?) Or, if we could afford one or a handful of nice swag giveaways, could we do a raffle? Business cards with info on the LoCo would be nice handouts too. Sorry to miss the meeting. -Dave On Sat, Jul 20, 2013 at 6:02 PM, Scott Randby <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings, > > At the Ubuntu Ohio IRC meeting on July 18, it was decided to bring two > of the agenda items to the mailing list for further discussion. > > 1.
