LFP6: Topic? "Eternacon is in a week and a half. What needs to get done pronto?" [8:18 PM]
ZachFR: sorry im late [8:18 PM]
lroppy: no clue [8:18 PM]
LFP6: Hey! np [8:18 PM]
LFP6: We have a spreadsheet with current statuses of things: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19tAlzxjk8CLXEP7OymVnHfdji2lvTfpieSUYpP1jb78/edit#gid=423130659 [8:19 PM]
lroppy: what is hanging in the breeze? [8:19 PM]
lroppy: just put something on the table [8:20 PM]
LFP6: So, looking at the sheet: Finish the invite packet, figure out who the contacts at the con should be, directions & oarking info, schedule finalizations, A/V, minor permission slip, Saturday's dinner, Catering, Shirts/posters/nametags, and "how do people [8:21 PM]
get paid?"
LFP6: Many of these are in progress [8:22 PM]
lroppy: which feels like it is NOT moving [8:22 PM]
ZachFR: well, lets go down one at a time, and see what we can do [8:23 PM]
LFP6: I think the answer to this is going through them one at a time and either taking care of it or figuring out what specifically is up in the air [8:23 PM]
LFP6: Yeah [8:23 PM]
lroppy: anything that is "invite packet" should get finalized this week [8:23 PM]
LFP6: Lets start there [8:23 PM]
Astromon: hey Zack [8:23 PM]
lroppy: otherwise folks might not be able to react to it [8:23 PM]
LFP6: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16xuj9j5reMVaJAWn6GYko3xJk8iA25VmZZFsBxX9W_A/edit?usp=drive_web [8:24 PM]
lroppy: it has many probs [8:25 PM]
lroppy: Pablo is no longer the contact person [8:25 PM]
lroppy: he no longer works there [8:25 PM]
LFP6: Anyone should be able to make edit suggestions [8:25 PM]
LFP6: So lets try to fill out as much as possible [8:25 PM]
lroppy: need name of contact person to replace Pablo [8:25 PM]
ZachFR: well i'd try to make the schedule up -to-date [8:26 PM]
lroppy: someone who has the data needs to just do it [8:27 PM]
lroppy: we cannot write it via chat [8:27 PM]
LFP6: In-progress schedule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19yP_h1bkMCs1Fe2HNC3Vnk6F_7SwOWvnetXfVu4KGKY/edit#gid=18544493 [8:28 PM]

LFP6: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YsgX1fN6Wh4jIe0kXqeRmqHUCZF3fB7Ngz0cQRpFL8Q/edit [8:31 PM]
LFP6: Wait, no, let me do Google sheets [8:32 PM]
LFP6: I'll just put it in a new tab of the task list [8:32 PM]
LFP6: Ok, so we need to ask Rhiju and/or Amanda about the contacts [8:34 PM]
Astromon: we managed last year was a success! This isnt our first rodeo :D [8:34 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: hi [8:49 PM]
LFP6: Hey Jen! [8:49 PM]
Astromon: hey jen :D [8:49 PM]
LFP6: I took a look at the todo list, and it looks like what we have left is essentially: Finish the invite packet, figure out who the contacts at the con should be, directions & oarking info, schedule finalizations, A/V, minor permission slip, Saturday's [8:49 PM]
dinner, Catering, Shirts/posters/nametags, and "how do people get paid?"
LFP6: I'm working on the first one [8:50 PM]
LFP6: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16xuj9j5reMVaJAWn6GYko3xJk8iA25VmZZFsBxX9W_A/edit# [8:50 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: we need to get A/V buttoned down for sure [8:52 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: the invite packet and the directins dot need to be top grade. we are down to the wire so we may need to cut a few corners [8:53 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: directions need to be good for how to get to the building of couse [8:54 PM]
LFP6: I created a new sheet on the task list for specific things that we need to have people do [8:54 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: although im sure if you googel it it will show yu the exact location. it did with La Ka Shing [8:54 PM]
LFP6: Btw [8:54 PM]
LFP6: "We will have staff on site to guide conference participants from 8 am to 9:30 am and 15 minutes before and after lunches" [8:54 PM]
LFP6: I'm assuming we can swing this? [8:54 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: there iwll be someone int eh room from 8 to 9:30am [8:55 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: and there will be soemone around durring lunch... somewhere [8:55 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: i plan on being there both days from start to finihs [8:55 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: earlier there too [8:55 PM]
Astromon: YAY jen! [8:56 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: i honestly think we are getting too involved with teh invite pakcet [9:07 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: it needs to be pared down a bit i think if we are to send it out this week [9:08 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: which we really should do [9:08 PM]
LFP6: Are we going to need to nix the schedule [9:08 PM]
LFP6: I'd really prefer not to do that' [9:08 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: i think since it is still fluid [9:08 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: i understand [9:08 PM]
LFP6: Link to it at least, perhaps [9:08 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: yes definitly a link [9:09 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: we could send out a mass email just befero the event as well with the schedule once it is finalized [9:09 PM]
LFP6: Sounds like a good idea [9:10 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: we can put just teh essentials in teh packet [9:10 PM]
LFP6: Ok, I think we should go with a bit.ly link for the schedule [9:10 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: makes sense. so someonce can enter it manually [9:11 PM]
LFP6: Yup [9:11 PM]
LFP6: Shoot, thought you could do a custom link [9:11 PM]
LFP6: Tinyurl it is [9:11 PM]
LFP6: How about tinyurl.com/eternacon2017schedule [9:12 PM]
LFP6: Is that good, or go with something shorter> [9:13 PM]
LFP6: *? [9:13 PM]
LFP6: Or just use a goo.gl with random text [9:13 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: eternacon2017sched [9:14 PM]
LFP6: Done [9:15 PM]
LFP6: Ok, what else do you want to cut? [9:15 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: um [9:17 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: actually it seams teh rest is still relavant from teh first year [9:18 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: maybe cut the graphic of the google map of the location of the event [9:19 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: or do a new one [9:19 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: and cange from La Ka Shing to the new place [9:19 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: id say unless we are up for verifying the info in the transportation section we toss that. [9:20 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: oI only say that becausee the info may have changed. but if someone its up to check the info/price and numbers then im ok with it staying [9:21 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: Reimbursments just needs to be updated to have people vring their receipts for travel and lodging and we will discuss reimbursment at teh conference [9:22 PM]
LFP6: Travel info should probably ve verified with Amanda [9:23 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: maybe send people who have requested assistance a seperate email and just leave out the travel reimburment stuff from the main packet. if they havnt asked for it yet it is too late.? [9:23 PM]
LFP6: Good point - maybe a reminder, "if you asked for travel assistance..." [9:23 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: that would work [9:24 PM]
LFP6: Could you help write up specific questions we need to ask Amanda about travel? [9:24 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: where do you want me to send them? I will write tehm up now and send them to you [9:24 PM]
LFP6: Put it in the 10/11 sheet on the Task List [9:25 PM]

(otherwise, food, shirt, etc may not be available).

LFP6: Or something along those lines (see the latest news article) [9:50 PM]
LFP6: Right, right [9:50 PM]

Jennifer Pearl: ok. so do we have people email the eternacon address if they are at th e cardinal and need help [9:58 PM]
LFP6: ? [9:58 PM]
LFP6: Oh, how do we arrange the carpooling instead of just hoping everything works on arrival? :P [9:59 PM]
Jennifer Pearl: i only ask that because of the note int eh news about transportation durring at teh cardinal [10:02 PM]

Jennifer Pearl: ok. so people meet up and figure it out [10:03 PM]
BioLogique: How can I get a lab accès? [9:58 PM]
LFP6: To add to the list of things we need to make sure happen: Ask Amanda/Rhiju about a contingency plan if we end up without enough cars [10:04 PM]

Jennifer Pearl: i see the changes on sunday [11:36 PM]
LFP6: I moved Astro's session. What do you think about the swap I just suggested? It would even out the content types [11:37 PM]
LFP6: Well, I wouldn't be able to talk to the booster, but that would be limited for me anyhow [11:37 PM]
