Don’t wait until the last minute to get your reimbursements!! There’s always a line! Send it to Amanda now if you can. She’ll be there at 2pm on Sunday to take receipts, etc. There is a form, and you do need the signature of your department head.

One day at the door pricing? We have that somewhere. Staff lists are due today. If you have not sent your staff list, you will be demoted to cannon fodder! If you think you should have received a list but did not, you have not sent a list! Do it!

Scott Kennedy has taken over marketing. Yay! Two Media passes have been made available this year. Know anyone in the media who deserves it? Let Ops know. Anyone during the next week – anyone needs to know about Con now? Scott wants to interface with them so he can remind the groups.

Schedule is done. Speakers are being moved around a little due to conflicts. Corrections will be done tonight and the people who need access to it have it already. Dynamic version is also online. Should be all finalized tonight. Excel version will be used by Penguicon TV.

One more GOH liaison is needed for Nick Farr. Contact Talent@ . Everything is already taken care of, we just need someone to assist him during the weekend. Will need a ride from the airport (that’s the heaviest of lifting)

We will have two this year.

Consuite main will open after opening ceremonies.

Shasta Café opens with registration.

Beer is on order.

Pop will be on balcony… grab and go.

Open Soda is still raising money. Can the consuite allocate some budget to opensoda? Sparrow says yeah! IF you have the money, do it. Any gifts from their fundraising (indigogo gifts based on donations we send) will go back to the community at closing ceremonies.

– GOHs have a lot of food allergies. Order should go with the consuite order.

Publication MUST BE DONE BY FRIDAY. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS! Any changes to things must be done by Friday. ORRR ELLSSSEEEEE. The absolute sincere one.

Capsule machine will not be running this year (from Morton’s List). Bill Putt has volunteered to bring the capsules, but he has nothings to put in them. Does anyone want to spearhead that? Get in contact with Bill Putt.

Gaming has no staff. Gaming staffers are responsible for checking games out. Ops has the game library? Some years, game library sat on the table. Tabletop gaming community to police.

Gaming. If you have staff, have staff. Otherwise, games will be on a table.

A full hotel walkthrough was done, where we went over all the blocking and room flips and other room requirements.

Meeting adjourned sometime long after Nuri stopped taking notes.
