Impressions of the Hyatt visit:
NICE. Room for 1000 attendees.
It sounded like we could get the space for free if we could get 250
room nights/night.
Bridget is supposed to get back with use this week, and provide a
sliding room nights/price for ballroom scale.
We stressed to her that a competitive room rate was paramount to our
success in achieving maximum room nights.

OLF sells out our block of 140 rooms in the official hotel each year for
the past 3 years. ?The overflow hotel also sells out around 50 rooms.
We've around 1000 attendees for the past 3 years.

there are lots of round-trip one day carpools from various midwest cities.

folks who want to stay on the cheap will go to a $40/night place then
spend $20 in parking. Since the hotel this year is $99 with parking, I
don't expect this arrangement to be worth the savings.

26th, July 17th (told them didn't want weekend after July 4th).

Embassy Suites tentatively for a tour Wednesday at 5:30-ish.... their  
people leave at 6:00.    They said a Sat tour would work too.    She's  
going to touch base with me tomorrow and see if we still want to tour and  
when ... so pipe up with your thoughts on that.   I can't find a website  
where I can check what conferences are running in June/July 2010 to make  
sure we don't schedule ourselves into competition.

Bridgett called today.

She thinks she can get the room rate down to $109/night.
I suggested that perhaps a compromise was in order, and that we offer
$99/night from now til XX days before the event, and at that point the
price goes back to $119. She said she'd explore that.

She's also looking for some data from Dave Yates on SCaLE and OLF

Finally she provided this sliding scale:

400 room nights = Comped venue
250 room nights = $3600 venue cost
200 room nights = $4800 venue cost

Bridget,
Similar events to ours (but larger) include the Southern California
Linux Expo and the Ohio Linux Fest.

The Southern California Linux Expo was help Feb. 20-22 2009 at the
Westin LAX Hotel .

Ohio Linux Fest was held October 10-11 2008 in Columbus, Ohio at the
Drury Inn at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.


Thanks again for your time.

Tentatively scheduled to tour Thurs 6:00 PM.     This ok with

1)  Using pretty much their entire hotel space.
2)  With a rebate system partnership with the Carolina First Center, so  
that the more rooms we book the cheaper it gets to use the Carolina First  
Center.


Thoughts?

#2 might as well not be an option - it's an incredible hike from one
to the other, which means shuttles, and lots of individuals driving,
which means signs, and the travel strikes me as non-trivial compared
with what we had in Clemson.

Hi Dave,

I'm a long-time listener to your LLT podcast and was disappointed to
have missed SELF at Clemson. I live in Buford, GA (Mall of Georgia) so
I'm not too far from you. What's the latest on the venue of the next
SELF? I work for the Board of Regents of the University System of
Georgia. We have several schools which might be interested in playing
host. May I help you in any way for next year's SELF?

Best,

WOW, she told us she thought 250 was the number to get it comped. In
fact she told us the capacaty of the whole hyatt was 391 or so.
I am pretty sure that OLF only gets 150 to 200 room nights at their
official hotel @$99/room.
If we have problems getting 200 rooms nights, we'd be responsible for
the $4800, and 80% of of 80% of the unbooked rooms too.

Dave -

please pass on my apologies to the rest of the SELF guys? for the
delays in getting the self audio/video out

i am not real happy about it, but there is not much I can do about it-
the whole video/audio editing is outside my comfort zone/skill set

its a lame excuse, but I think part of the delay is VIEW trying to
keep up the cash flow so we can all get paid.? I REALLY don't mean for
this to sound like an excuse, but at the end of the day, it all boils
down to the almighty $$ and there is only so many hours in a day.

how interesting - UGA strike anyone as interesting?? (yes yes, I know
snide comments imminent from GTswagger) but Athens is closer than ATL.
Are there any UG* schools closer.

Perhaps we should talk to the Dept. of Commerce, and Clemson's CS
department and tell them how sad we are that Clemson doesn't have
space for us despite the fact their facility will be unused on our
weekend, and that we will have to take our 1000 attendees and go
elsewhere.

interesting - she told me that 200 rooms for each night was what it
was comped out at. (eg 400 roomnights total)

I'd like to know SCaLE OLF's numbers on the situation.

OH, OK. I didn't realize these were total room night numbers. I was
thinking this was per night. I feel better now.

Driving directions from Greenville would be easy.   Drive down I-85 toward  
Atlanta until you smell it.   Exit and drive north until you step in it.    
You're in Athens.

I'll have a recap for the Marriott but it'll be late -- I need to find

Subject: [Self-Public] Spartanburg Marriott
Message-ID: <op.uxf757ciahtv10@localhost.localdomain>

Half the pics are up on wiki ; adding second half after this email.

Thoughts:
- On par with Hyatt in terms of facility grade.
- Has some nice extras the Hyatt doesn't, like 8 rooms for 20-35 people  
with whiteboards perfect for BoFs.
- Somebody was wanting a wedding reception starting at 6:00 PM that  
Saturday, but hasn't locked in.   If they do lock in, I think ending at  
5:00 that day isn't that much of a big deal.
- Ideal Layout:
--- Would use 2nd floor ballroom for a speaker track
--- Divide the main ballroom three non-equals (one smallish).
------ Use two large for two speaker tracks
------ Smaller for vendors
--- Big time vendors go in hallway, we're allowed to line both sides
--- Several VERY NICE smaller rooms for "VIP"/lounge.
--- Even have a conf room setup specifically for Video conferencing with a  
triangular table to get all in shot and a T1
- Should be cheaper than Greenville
- Not nearly as much to do in immediate vicinity as Greenville
- Entire facility is currently unbooked that weekend, shy of the desired  
wedding reception which isn't booked.

They will have us something before the weekend.

I told them to give us a sliding scale.

They have free wifi in guest areas, but not conf areas.   *cough* rogue  
repeaters  *cough*

Also, they had tux's everywhere.   If I can ever get MOFO bitpim working  
after a libjpeg break, I'll show you the tux pics in question, since you  
never look at or answer your cell.  :P

The place looks pretty posh. I am really curious about the pricing. Also it
is rather Spartan around the area. Perhaps because it is Spartan...burg. ;-)

While my thoughts tend to agree with this line of thinking, I am
worried that not having the westin leaves us without a significant
competitor in downtown greenville for our negotiations.

So if I were in their shoes I'd say:
Yes you can get the $foohotel cheaper - but do they have 2 cigar shops
within walking distance, a waterfall-based park, A gigantic amount of
restaurants to choose from........ no? well that's what we have to
offer, and part of what makes spending this money so much more
practical.
Those are 1/2 decent arguments, and at least it then becomes more
apples and apples. Honestly, I'd rather go to Westin than Embassy
Suites.

Wow! That does present some interesting options. I like the idea of doing it
at a college. I would like to look at the possibilities. I would prefer
Clemson, but other colleges would work too.

Does the University Center in Greenville have space for a conference?
(Thinking out loud).

Agreed. Has anyone heard from Bridget at the Hyatt? David, I have your
folder from Bridget with floor plan and other information. Let me know when
you have some time to meet up in or around Greenville. I work off of Roper
Mtn. Rd.

So -- I'm going to bail on the 5:30 Embassy, and instead go to the 6:00  
Thurs Westin tour.     I have an exam due Thurs, so that works out better  
anyway.

You know I can't help but think that some political pressure might
help. GTSwagger is probably in a better place to effect this even
though he isn't a Pickens county resident, but if you disagree, I'll
call some people. - but if essentially we tell $electedofficial - we
held this event, that's completely community run, has the support of
faculty and student orgs at clemson, brought 500 people to town, who
spent tons of money. This year, based on operations in other states we
are looking at bringing in 750, who again will spend lots of money,
bring some big technology players from all over the country, and yet
Clemson, who openly acknowledges that they aren't using the facility
on those dates, or for weeks around it, won't let us reserve the
facility, soooooooo we are going to have to move to GA, as UGA is
dying to have us there and providing everything for almost free.

Is our goal then to hold SELF 10 at Clemson again? The speaker rooms might
get pretty crowded.

space of what we had reserved.

Mr Rice:

It was a pleasure to speak with you on the phone.

For a brief history of the Southeast Linuxfest, or SELF as we call it,
we originated as a group of people in Pickens, Greenville, and
Spartanburg Counties who bemoaned the lack of a community Linux
conference in the Southeast. We formed a non-profit corporation for
that purpose, and even in this down economy we believe we pulled off a
tremendous success. The purpose is mainly an educational one, our
event brings in leading figures in the open source software arena and
puts them in front of crowds to teach. Our attendees tend to be
students, professionals in the IT industry, and technophiles.

In the end, on our event on June 13th, we had around 500 attendees,
with more than 50% coming from Georgia, Alabama, Virginia and North
Carolina. We also drew attendees from California, Ontario, New York,
Pennsylvania, Utah, and 17 other states/provinces. Being a first year
conference, we really didn't expect to have such a large attendance,
and in the history of such events (there are 3 other similar regional
events in the US, one in Southern California, one in Ohio, and one in
Seattle) our first year attendance was more than double what any other
conference has achieved. We completely booked out the conference
hotel, and ended up sending our attendees to several other of the
hotels in Clemson, and Anderson. The conference grabbed 20 stellar
speakers, from organizations like the Tor project (which you may have
heard was of great use to the Iranian dissidents in communicating with
the world) Google, Red Hat, Novell, Digium, etc. We believe the event
was good not just for us, and our attendees, but also for the area
businesses. In addition to the hotel we had group dinners on two
nights, and the restaurants involved told us that each night their
sales numbers were well into five-figures.

We are excited by the opportunity this has created, and plan on
expanding from a single day conference to a 2 day conference this
coming year.  Unfortunately, as I mentioned, when we went to reserve
the Hendrix Student Center again for this coming year, we were told
that the University had reserved the entire facility for the entire
summer. Upon further investigation we learned that the facility was
reserved for student orientation for the entire summer., but that
student orientation doesn't start til June 21, a week and a half after
our event (slotted for the weekend on June 12th). We have talked with
student organizations and the CS department at Clemson, who seem to
fully support our event, but they seem to have no leverage there.

Employees within the Board of Regents of the University of Georgia
system have offered us free space to hold the conference at the
University of Georgia - Athens, and we've also been talking with other
venues in Greenville County that are not as promising. . Every core
contributor to SELF lives in the Upstate of South Carolina, and we
have a vested interest in keeping the event in the Upstate, that said,
we simply have no option for keeping it at Clemson. We would be a bit
more accepting, if things were actually happening at Hendrix the week
of our event, but that doesn't seem to be the case based on our
information. Honestly, it doesn't make sense to me as a taxpayer for
Pickens County businesses to lose the economic benefit to businesses
in Athens, GA while a Clemson facility that we and our attendees were
happy with goes unused. We aren't even asking that the facility be
free, like UGA has been offered to us, as we are willing to pay for
the space with money from our sponsors. We may be forced to move the
event to Georgia, but I sincerely hope that we are able to avoid that.


Thanks for talking with me this morning,

David Nalley

We should decide who's going soon and book for airfare reasons.   $448 for  
a one stop from GSP according to Priceline.   $425 for multi-leg.

By naming my own price I got it down to $382 per person all said and done  
($480 after taxes per person previously).

I have too many responsibilities at present, so I'll probably have to
excuse myself from SCaLE. I'm sure it will be fun though.

Okay, so there is no GSP direct to LAX ... you get a connector  
somewhere.   Either ATL, ORD (Chicago), or Houston.  However, pricing on  
ATL to LAX (driving to ATL) actually isn't cheaper.   Details:

Delta Airlines Flight 2085	
Atlanta, GA (ATL) ? Los Angeles, CA (LAX) Non-Stop

Departing ???Thursday, Feb 18, 2010 at 11:35am
Arriving ???Thursday, Feb 18, 2010 at 1:20pm
Trip Duration ???4h 45m


=================================================

Return:

Delta Airlines Flight 2094	
Los Angeles, CA (LAX) ? Atlanta, GA (ATL) Non-Stop
Departing ???Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 at 4:00pm
Arriving ???Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 at 11:30pm
Trip Duration ???4h 30m

Delta Airlines Flight 2096	
Los Angeles, CA (LAX) ? Atlanta, GA (ATL) Non-Stop
Departing ???Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 at 10:50pm
Arriving ???Monday, Feb 22, 2010 at 6:20am


And that comes to $379/person, with no ability to name your own price.

I like this whole name-your-own-price thing.    I got it down to $322 per  
person GSP to LAX with a connector.   They even warned me to increase my  
offer as it might not be accepted.  :D   You can save up to 40% before it  
rejects you outright.   I got it down 37.5%.    Way to go Shatner!

I just noticed that it's not until Feb. I can probably go if we need
one more person, but put me at the bottom of the list.

I guess we are waiting on Yeary and Nalley to weigh in? I think we
should send 2 or 3 people minimum if we can afford it.

I'd like to go, but I have been, so I think the value add for SELF is
minimal, while the value add for daveyates and jeremy sands is
phenomenal. That said, if money is there, I am in.

SCaLE is in an awesome con, and the crowd IMO, is even better than
OLF. That might be because it effectively wanders across three days
and thus there is more time to relax, or it could be the SoCal
atmosphere.

I have people ready and willing to give money - but they can't take
money as they don't really exist (they turned down an offer of Fedora
money (and not because she is married to a Canonical employee :) ))
So they said they want people to donate things - like asking Fedora to
donate lanyards. The problem is that takes a lot of work - getting
artwork ready, getting orders placed, billing squared away. Look how
long it took us to do tshirts and bags and you see the problem. If it
was just money they'd likely already have it. The issue is one of work
- I am struggling right now between job changes, Fedora and SELF to
keep up, just no more room for additional work.

They already have a full speaker list per their website - at least it
looked that way to me.
I know several speakers that they talked to who are unable to make it
due to lack of budget - so the money thing rears its head again.

If they're hard up I wouldn't mind giving a presentation on ArchLinux...  
something along the lines of "the best linux distro you've never heard of".

I'd talk about ABS, PKGBUILDS, AUR, and a fully unified web presence.      
See if that tickles their fancy.

It _is_ posh.  Only a couple years old.  It's part of a
re-vitalization of the downtown SPA area.  The brand new
(one-year-old) Chapman Cultural Center was just built.  That's
supposed to be SPA's Peace Center.  Main street was re-designed within
the last couple years.  USC-Upstate's biz school is getting built...

So, there is some stuff a couple blocks away.  Krispy Kreme is 2
blocks away, for example.  But here's the thing:

Are attendees going to be wandering around town, like they would if it
were downtown GVL?  That encourages bringing the significant other who
is not interested in Linux.  Or, is most of the time going to be spent
at the venue anyway, so why would it matter if it were in the middle
of the desert?

I don't know the answer, but my feeling is, no matter which place we
decide upon, the majority of attendees are going to stay in the venue
and do very little wandering.  That would not be true if it were, say,
a week-long conference, but we're talking one or two days.

Another thing that I looked at this morning is alternative lodging in
SPA.  There isn't that much very close, and there are cheap motels
near the colleges (Wofford, Converse, USC-Upstate), and there are some
off the interstates, which gets into the shuttle/parking issue...

I told her they really needed to create a foundation and have a board.
She said they would consider it, but I got the sense from her that she
was doing a lot of the heavy lifting and there was no real
organizational structure behind her. I doubt they have time to pull
all of that together in 2 months though. She's trying to prevent ALF
from being an UbuntuFest, but it seems headed in that direction. I
think they're on a good track for a small first-year event at any
rate. Probably no need to push any harder at this late stage.

I was going to say that adds alot of miles, but it's actually "only" about  
40 more miles and another half hour.   If nobody from  
Greenville-Spartanburg pipes up, I'm game.

No.  No one's getting this.  You obviously broke it.  I'll check the
list manager to see what's wrong.  Thanks for pointing this out.

Glad to see someone's still alive out there. This is a test. This is
only a test. Had this been an actual emergency you'd be in deep #$@!
right now.

Actually, we are in deep shit right now.  I'm having to manually
requeue each e-mail to list members as they arrive.  mailman isn't
passing things back properly.  I'd appreciate it if you'd stop posting
to the list for the next 30 minutes and give me a chance to look at
this without hundreds of bounces piling up in the queue.  Thanks.

Ok, I think I've got this narrowed down. It looked like delivery to
mailman is being sent into a mail loop by some changes we made in
master.cf a couple weeks back. I've reverted the changes, but I'm still
getting some list bounces from places like gmail.  Kevin, can you send
a reply to the list from your gmail account and let me take a look at
the new logs?  Thanks.

Jon Palmer sent a message using the contact form at
http://www.southeastlinuxfest.org/contact.

Hi,

My name is Jon Palmer and I am the marketing manager for SteelPivot.  We are
a provider of Open Source-based network and security training in Atlanta.

I am contacting you today because we currently have sponsorship and
marketing dollars available to target IT engineers and IT managers in metro
Atlanta.  To that end, we are evaluating local IT associations and groups
that may be a good fit for reaching our target audience.

Before we can move forward, there are a few pieces of information about your
membership demographics that we need to gather.  This information will help
us to determine the feasibility of a relationship.

The following items represent the basic information that we need in order to
determine how best to move forward.

How long has the Southeast Linux Fest been running?
How many attendees have you had over each of the past 2 years?
Where exactly is the event held?
What is the cost of an event sponsorship package?
What is your procedure for leveraging sponsor relationships through your
mailing list?
What is the size of your mailing list?



Please reply to this email with the above information by the close of
business on Tuesday, August 4th.  Or feel free to give me a call at (404)
460-5259 to discuss further.

To learn more about our company, please visit our website at
http://www.steelpivot.com

Thank you in advance for your prompt response,

Jon
