<fugolini> Please roll call <fugolini> FrancescoUgolini <AndreasR> AndreasRau <jmbuser> JohnBabich <MrTom> ThomasCanniot <iWolf> JeffreyTadlock <fugolini> ok, we can start <fugolini> today agenda is: <fugolini> 1. Ambassadors Budget <fugolini> 2. Wiki status <fugolini> 3. Local groups status <fugolini> First topic <fugolini> i think we can start with the rlease <fugolini> events discussion <fugolini> if you take a look at the event page <fugolini> at least 8 events (please count it on your own) <fugolini> actually in Italy there are 2 more events that are in the <fugolini> *in a pending status <fugolini> just wait april 30th <fugolini> Max, moreover said that the deadline is May 1st <fugolini> due to the beginning of the next fiscal quarter * knurd is now known as knurd_afk <fugolini> I invite who has a planned event to report it in the wiki <spevack> MaxSpevack is here <fugolini> and if he need help ask in the list <iWolf> ! <MrTom> ! <fugolini> We have planned a cost of 1000$ <fugolini> ok, i'll stop now <fugolini> iWolf: <iWolf> in regards to the release events, I would like to begin contacting the event owner for the release event to offer the $100USD that Max is ready to send them. <fugolini> ah, just a mistake, it's not the end of the quarter <iWolf> eof <fugolini> iWolf: yes, the main problem is that there are other events in pending status <fugolini> i think we could start asking for the payment method <spevack> fugolini: the Release Events and next quarter's budget are two different things <iWolf> i thought we were just taking the first 10? <fugolini> in fact <fugolini> i notice this <fugolini> i've done a mistake and i say this * stickster is now known as stickster_afk * stickster_afk is now known as stickster <fugolini> iWolf: we have 2 slots free <spevack> i see 8 release events <spevack> on the FedoraEvents page <spevack> The North American ones will be very easy to fund <spevack> we can probably use PayPal for everyone <spevack> or just send a check <iWolf> right, but I don't want to penalize the ones ready for money while we wait for the other 2 <fugolini> so, just wait two days, we are trying to organize two more events <spevack> The one in Greece will also be easy <spevack> because I can just pay Dimitris back when I see him at LinuxTag <spevack> my concern is getting money for the Italy release party and for the Bangladesh release party. $100 USD is a small amount, the fees to transfer that via a bank wire are almost as much as the money itself is... <iWolf> spevack: so do you want to handle sending the money? and skip the contact the event owner step to see things are still a go for them? <spevack> iWolf: well, I'm thinking that I can email the owners of the various events, ask them if it's still a go, and start by asking for a PayPal address. <spevack> iWolf: we'll see how far that gets us <spevack> iWolf: because we can handle that this week. <spevack> what do you think? <iWolf> spevack: sounds good, i wanted to clarify if you needed me to do that or if you were going to. <fugolini> spevack: i just reaplied to your mail <iWolf> spevack: sounds great to me. <spevack> iWolf: i can do it, and i'll cc you just so there's one other person in the loop <fugolini> have you seen it? <spevack> fugolini: looking now <iWolf> spevack: thanks! <MrTom> ! <fugolini> spevack: can you cc the famsco <fugolini> just because i think it has to be clear <fugolini> MrTom: <spevack> fugolini: sure * kital (n=Joerg_Si@fedora/kital) has joined #fedora-meeting <MrTom> we are in france doing our best to have a date before the 1st of May, but i'm not sure this is likely to happen (having the date before the deadline mean) <MrTom> we are likely to have the install party be runned the 21 of.. June, which is quite late <MrTom> but there are 3 organisations synching their agendas for the event to happen <MrTom> that's quite difficult to handle :p <MrTom> eof <fugolini> ok <fugolini> ok <fugolini> iWolf: you can just contact the event owner <fugolini> but we have to remember there are 2 open slots <iWolf> fugolini: spevack is going to handle that as a way of getting the ball rolling to send out the money. <fugolini> ok <fugolini> Have you other questions/concern <fugolini> ? <MrTom> ! <fugolini> MrTom: <spevack> MrTom: I'm not too worried about a Release Party for $100. The May 1 deadline is important for larger events that will want $500, $100, or more <MrTom> spevack well having already 100$ for this IP would be very well seen here <MrTom> moreover our organisation would be able to fullfil the lack of money we would need to create cd localy <MrTom> eof <fugolini> you can add it in the june event list <MrTom> thansk spevack fugolini <fugolini> and you will able to ask for the money you need for it <fugolini> the 100$ is for the Release Parties, but it's the propel to invite people to organize those ones <fugolini> for the next events there is the standard budget <fugolini> eof <fugolini> so, next issue? <fugolini> ok <fugolini> next issue: 2. Wiki status <fugolini> I had problems with the wiki (pages are really slow to see) <fugolini> and it created a lot of problem for my work on some wiki pages <fugolini> i don't know if is my Service provider or just the server <fugolini> but i think the work is near to be completed <fugolini> have you qestions/concerns? <fugolini> ok, we can skip this issue <fugolini> 3. Local groups status <fugolini> The aim of this section is to get updates from the local groups <fugolini> I don't want to list all the events, because i know i could annoy you <fugolini> so i prefer to have a open discussion <fugolini> EMEA <fugolini> Updates? <fugolini> North America <fugolini> Updates? <fugolini> South America <fugolini> Updates? <iWolf> For North America it looks like we have several release parties, so that's good. <iWolf> We've also has some more activity on the AMbassadors list from N.A. as well. <fugolini> News from weekly meetings? <spevack> Jesse Keating was at LinuxFest northwest this past weekend. His event report will be coming soon. <iWolf> I would like to get a more organized North America meeting established . <iWolf> I've been waiting on some of the release party activity to slow down so I can dedicate some cycles to that. <fugolini> great! <fugolini> Have you special requests from NA? <iWolf> no special requests that I am aware of. <fugolini> ok <fugolini> Asia, India, Australia <fugolini> Updates? <fugolini> i've heard about an irc meeting <fugolini> have you news about it? <iWolf> APAC had a weekly meeting a little over a week ago. <iWolf> I attended and it seemed to go well. <fugolini> Special requests? <fugolini> or better, something that FAmSCo need to know? <spevack> I don't have much insight into APAC right now. HarishPillay is a Red Hatter who is working to bring some community work together there. Our biggest plan for APAC is to have a FUDCon there at the same time as Linux Conf australia next year in January <iWolf> mainly just getting organized and I reviewed the process of making sure to add their events to the Fedora Event page in order to get access to budgeted money. <spevack> In India, we are working on getting them stronger community support <fugolini> that's important <spevack> internally to Red Hat, my boss -- Michael Chen -- is trying to find extra money in the budget that can be used by Red Hat India to support Fedora and community * petreu has quit ("( www.nnscript.de :: NoNameScript 4.02 :: www.XLhost.de )") <spevack> So I'll let you guys know how that goes -- that's a little bit separate from FAMSCo, but it's money that might end up being used by guys like Kuahal Das, Rahul Sundaram, Sankarshan, etc. <fugolini> great <iWolf> good! I am sure they will appreciate that. <jmbuser> +1 <AndreasR> +1 <spevack> As far as South America goes, FAMSco will continue to fund them. Rodrigo Padul has asked for $700 for another show in Brazil. I believe that we should give him that, and also I have asked him what he anticipates the next few months looking like <spevack> there are 3 events listed on the Fedora Events page between now and the end of August. <spevack> So if Rodrigo needs somewhere around $700 for each, I think that is very much within our budget, as Brazil is where most of our support for South America is seen. <spevack> in short... I think that we are doing a pretty good job of giving opportunity and funding to folks globally, so I think we just need to keep paying attention to what is going on <spevack> EOF <fugolini> actually the reports we received were great <fugolini> you can saw those in the list and in Fedora Planet <fugolini> i think we have a big amount of datas for the events sposored <fugolini> Any other questions? <fugolini> Just another word <fugolini> If all agree i think Monday could be a good day for weekly meetings <fugolini> isn't it? <AndreasR> ! <iWolf> Monday is fine with me. <fugolini> AndreasR: <AndreasR> yep.. much more better <AndreasR> eof <spevack> I am fine with either, but I do prefer Monday! <jmbuser> Monday is good, but perhaps we can meet 1 hour earlier <jmbuser> eof <AndreasR> +1 <fugolini> jmbuser: +1 <spevack> +1 also. <fugolini> so <fugolini> with a great majority Monday is the new meeting date <fugolini> *day <spevack> Monday 15:00 UTC <spevack> er, sorry... <spevack> Monday 19:00 UTC <jmbuser> +1 and thanks <spevack> is that right, francesco? 19:00 UTC <fugolini> yes <AndreasR> +1 ; I agree <spevack> great <fugolini> ok, i think we can adjourn the meeting <fugolini> 3 <fugolini> 2 <fugolini> 1 <fugolini> == meeting adjourned == -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
