> <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:

> <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

> <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

> <iWolf> spevack: so do you want to handle sending the money? and skip

> <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

> <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...
