     Fedora dinner of some sort on the opening night if possible is
     being planned. 100 lbs of stuff has been shipped ahead for the
     booth. The two new retractable banners arrived today, will be
     shipped on to Chicago tomorrow.

* Budget Review [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget]

   - inode0 mentions that we are in budget limbo for a period now waiting
     for the next quarter's budget to take shape

   - Max will likely be joining us more often in the future and will fill
     us in on those details as they become known

   - Pens arrived, sent to the Summit as well as all the regional ambassadors

     djf_jeff asks about distribution of merchandise in Canada - will contact
     ke4qqq to find out if he can be our "shipping center" in the north

   - SFD chat and Campus Ambassador discussion as the moderator lost control
     of the meeting ...

* Tasks [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks]

   - No discussion

* Open Floor

   - dthomasdigital thanks folks for sending SFD and NMGLF supplies his way

   - Discussion of an ambassador FAD at UTOSC or elsewhere - inode0 suggests
     having a focus on work that needs to be done before planning a FAD to do
     it - existing work objectives should exist before a FAD is organized

   - crossbytes raises questions about the FreeMedia program and how
     ambassadors should deal with random contacts for FreeMedia while the
     form is closed and tells people to contact ambassadors directly

I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new
ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.
