13:33:58 <liknus> Hiding the rest Quarters (not the current ones) seems like the right way to do this 13:34:06 <kaio> gbraad☺ yes! 13:34:30 <liknus> also by cleaning the whole thing up we shall have specific outlines on how to state a date (thats one primary problem) 13:34:37 <igorps> or diving the years into different wiki pages 13:34:39 <liknus> I am willing to work on that also 13:35:00 <liknus> (I am a wiki freak so please gimme some wiki editing!) 13:35:01 <liknus> :P 13:35:13 <liknus> Also the table must be sortable 13:35:19 <liknus> So two things here : 13:35:30 <liknus> Someone to reform it and someone to maintain it 13:35:41 <liknus> I am willing to reform it (with help if someone wants) 13:35:45 <gbraad> ok, liknus. you can have the item. as long as APAC is ours ;-) 13:36:05 <liknus> gbraad, You will maintain the whole thing then :) 13:36:17 <gbraad> i know ;-) 13:36:24 <liknus> the Events page is not region specific :) 13:36:41 <gbraad> i'll provide help. 13:36:53 <liknus> So I will reform the page and have some feedback from you and Ambassadors on that (with gbraad help) 13:37:12 <liknus> and then we shall figure out someone to constantly maintain the whole thing 13:37:17 <liknus> ok ? 13:37:25 <gbraad> +1 13:37:32 <igorps> +1 13:37:36 <kaio> ++ 13:37:47 <liknus> #action liknus reforms the Events page with help from gbraad 13:38:02 <lcafiero> +1 13:38:05 <liknus> #info Events page will have a maintainer (or a group of them) 13:38:22 <liknus> Moving on : 13:38:26 <liknus> Ambassadors survey to help set FAmSCo long term agenda 13:38:29 <gbraad> note: in the long-run it needs to be a group 13:38:46 * liknus thinks that gbraad is right :) 13:38:57 <liknus> So our next item was mether proposal 13:39:02 <liknus> mether, on that? 13:39:21 <mether> yeah I was suggesting running a ambassador specific survey 13:39:27 <mether> and addressing concerns if we can 13:39:45 <liknus> sounds great :) 13:39:59 <liknus> So I guess you have the action item ? 13:40:06 <liknus> Do you have any draft questions? 13:40:13 <mether> there is some constant niggling friction like the topics of mentoring and active/inactive ambassadors etc and I want to know what is important for the team 13:40:23 <mether> don't have anything ready at this point 13:40:34 <mether> we will have to discuss logistics of doing that 13:40:37 <mether> and what to ask 13:40:40 <mether> on the list I think 13:40:51 <mether> if everyone is agreeable that it is a good thing to do 13:41:01 <igorps> Those are really important issues 13:41:12 <igorps> We can take some lessons from the FWN survey 13:41:21 <kaio> yes we should get feedback from all 13:41:21 <lcafiero> +1 -- and we can discuss on list 13:41:35 <liknus> +1 we should do that! 13:41:36 <gbraad> agree with mether's idea. i do notice swag is the most needed resource, but I also wanna know how mature their local community is, in the sense of Open SOurce acceptance, etc 13:41:41 <gbraad> +1 13:42:12 <liknus> #agreed mether will draft out a Ambassadors wide survey 13:42:43 <liknus> #action mether initiates the discussion on the list 13:42:46 <liknus> sounds good? 13:42:58 <mether> alrighty 13:43:00 <lcafiero> sounds good to me 13:43:10 <gbraad> +1 13:43:10 <kaio> ++ 13:43:16 <igorps> +1 13:43:44 <liknus> ok :) 13:43:49 <liknus> Moving on : 13:44:04 <liknus> New mentor for Brazil 13:44:29 <liknus> Daniel Bruno was suggested by Yn1v 13:44:29 <igorps> yn1v and me indicated danielbruno 13:44:41 <lcafiero> I'm sorry, liknus -- can I interrupt for a second? 13:44:42 <liknus> I am totally ok with that as far as I can tell 13:44:47 <liknus> lcafiero, go ahead :) 13:45:11 <lcafiero> could you use the hash-topic to introduce new items 13:45:17 <lcafiero> ? 13:45:24 <liknus> for each action item you mean? 13:45:31 <lcafiero> for example #topic New mentor for Brazil 13:45:54 <igorps> +1 It would look better on the meeting minutes 13:45:56 <liknus> You are probably right as we discuss them extensively 13:46:08 <lcafiero> Thanks. 13:46:15 <liknus> We will do that from now on :) thanks lcafiero 13:46:21 <liknus> #topic New mentor for Brazil 13:46:27 <lcafiero> It's for the minutes -- meetbot will record them that way 13:46:27 <mether> I don't know to judge whether someone is suitable as a mentor on a region that I am not familiar with 13:46:48 <igorps> So here is Daniel's wiki page: 13:46:52 <igorps> #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dbruno 13:46:56 <lcafiero> I would trust the judgment of whomever is there and is proposing the mentor. 13:47:02 <gbraad> have to agree with mether here. Is there a need for more mentors in that region? 13:47:07 <mether> so who is proposing it 13:47:17 <liknus> Yn1v 13:47:23 <lcafiero> I think Yn1v 13:47:29 <igorps> gbraad: yes there is 13:47:39 <igorps> Brazil needs a mentor 13:47:46 <igorps> we don't have one now 13:47:56 <mether> the whole of Brazil doesn't have even a single mentor so far? 13:48:11 <liknus> his blog is bilingual and seems like a fine Ambassador 13:48:28 <lcafiero> Right, I think Rodrigo Padula was a mentor, but he's no longer with Fedora 13:48:37 <igorps> mether: no it doesn't 13:48:39 <mether> ah ok 13:48:39 <lcafiero> If memory serves me correctly 13:48:41 <gbraad> seems a good candidate 13:48:43 <liknus> lcafiero, yeap you are right 13:48:51 <mether> is someone personally familiar with him in this team? 13:48:58 <igorps> he is a good candidate 13:49:00 <lcafiero> igorps: do you know him personally? 13:49:03 <liknus> only Yn1v and he is not here 13:49:10 <igorps> lcafiero: yes 13:49:13 <mether> ok 13:49:13 <liknus> oh 13:49:15 <liknus> nice :) 13:49:21 <lcafiero> And you think he'll do a good job? 13:49:26 <igorps> he was in FUDCon Santigo 13:49:35 <igorps> and at FISL in 2009 13:49:44 <igorps> I'm sure 13:49:54 <lcafiero> OK. 13:49:59 <igorps> he is used to introduce new ambassadors 13:50:02 <liknus> I am ok with that then :) 13:50:08 <mether> then alright. we can proceed but in case, we run into nominations where none of us know the person, we need more details from the person raising it 13:50:10 <lcafiero> +1 - same here 13:50:19 <igorps> actually he is already mentoring them in some way 13:50:30 <lcafiero> Although you are right, mether -- the person proposing should make the case in the future. 13:50:57 <liknus> #agreed Dbuno new mentor for Brazil 13:51:14 <igorps> I'll contact Daniel about that 13:51:15 <liknus> #info more info on next mentor nominees 13:51:16 <gbraad> from his blog he is clear about Fedora's differences from other distros and our vision 13:51:17 <mether> It would be useful for us to get some justification for future nominations. Nothing personal of course 13:51:19 <gbraad> +1 13:51:36 <liknus> everyone ok ? 13:51:45 <mether> yes 13:51:46 <kaio> ok. :) 13:51:48 <igorps> ok 13:51:58 <lcafiero> That's a good practice, mether, and we should have the person proposing be here to present his case 13:52:07 <liknus> lcafiero, totally agreed :) 13:52:15 <gbraad> agree with lcafiero 13:52:21 <mether> so let's make sure of that for future nominations 13:52:30 <lcafiero> +1 13:52:34 <liknus> ok moving on : 13:52:59 <liknus> #topic Budget handler in collaboration with spevack 13:53:01 <liknus> Choose a budget co-manager to serve with spevack 13:53:12 <liknus> lcafiero, that you I guess :) 13:53:21 * lcafiero looks around 13:53:27 <lcafiero> me? :-) 13:53:29 <kaio> lcafiero☺ ++ 13:53:29 <lcafiero> I can do that. 13:53:30 <liknus> we discussed that a little bit on the channel 13:53:37 <lcafiero> Right. 13:53:43 <liknus> You have previous experience :) 13:53:52 <liknus> I am more than ok of you having this :) 13:53:52 <gbraad> if lcafiero wants, +1 13:53:57 <liknus> +1 for me! 13:54:09 <kaio> ++ 13:54:11 <mether> even if lcafiero doesn't want it +1 :-) 13:54:12 <igorps> +1 for lcafiero! 13:54:13 <lcafiero> I will do it, then. 13:54:22 <lcafiero> Heh @ mether 13:54:50 * lcafiero is good at bugging spevack if that's what you mean by "experience" :-) 13:54:56 <liknus> ok :) 13:55:19 <liknus> #agreed lcafiero is the Budget Handler of FAmSCo 13:55:52 <liknus> lcafiero, make sure to bug spevack *a lot* as we are falling behind at many tickets 13:56:13 <liknus> mether, on the previous one (mentorship) 13:56:30 <liknus> can you reflect what we agreed on this page? 13:56:33 <liknus> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Join_choose_a_mentor 13:57:04 <liknus> so it specifies that mentor will be presented as a case by the one that nominates him 13:57:17 <kaio> liknus☺ the list of mentor on that page is hard-coded 13:57:43 <liknus> I am talking about the part: 13:57:44 <liknus> "Regional Ambassador Mentors are a group of people - selected, proposed and appointed by people - not by a leveling system - based on trust (and a lot of soft facts), Prospective mentors are nominated by existing Mentors and confirmed by FAmSCo - [1]. If you want to be a mentor for the Ambassador group, be a good ambassador and if asked, volunteer to help, when needed. One great way to prepare is, to be a good mentor for the project as 13:57:44 <liknus> a whole." 13:57:49 <mether> lcafiero, i think we need a page more associated with famsco for that. I will write up the details 13:58:07 <liknus> ok mether :) 13:58:21 <kaio> are there any ways to improve to have the mentor list updated automatically? 13:58:33 <lcafiero> OK, I will help out on that. 13:58:48 <mether> lets take it to the list 13:58:53 <mether> it requires more discussions 13:58:55 <liknus> #action mether clarifies the mentor confirmation process within famsco 13:58:55 <lcafiero> help mether on the details. 13:59:04 <liknus> #undo 13:59:04 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x12440410> 13:59:13 <liknus> #action mether clarifies the mentor confirmation process within famsco with help form lcafiero 13:59:13 <liknus> :) 13:59:20 <liknus> ok everyone? 13:59:27 <mether> ok 13:59:36 <kaio> ok 13:59:37 <lcafiero> OK 13:59:40 <liknus> nice :) 13:59:42 <liknus> moving on: 13:59:50 * gbraad remebers a lot of questions have been about "selected, proposed and appointed by people" and "and confirmed by FAmSCo" 13:59:53 <liknus> #topic Regional Reports 14:00:15 <liknus> I should start on EMEA I guess 14:00:38 <liknus> So after a round of Release Parties we are looking forward to our presence at FOSDEM 14:00:52 <liknus> February so we have a lot of time to plan ahead 14:01:37 <liknus> some budget allocation is already done by spevack and I will make sure to specify the swag together with the event onwer 14:02:20 <liknus> We are still pursuing the media production of F14 as we had a really unfortunate chain of events 14:02:31 <liknus> (budget is allocated though :) ) 14:03:10 <liknus> I am chairing the EMEA Ambassadors meeting but I will pass this over to cwickert (senior EMEA Ambassador) and help him if needed 14:03:18 <liknus> thats for EMEA 14:03:56 <lcafiero> NA next? 14:04:01 <liknus> (we are approaching 1 hour :( possilby we can speed things up...although because this was our first meeting is was logical) 14:04:06 <liknus> NA go ahead :) 14:04:16 <igorps> lcafiero: go for it! 14:04:25 <igorps> LATAM is next 14:04:26 <lcafiero> FUDCon in January -- everyone seems to be focused on that. 14:04:48 <lcafiero> We should have F14 media in a week, thanks to Clint Savage (herlo) 14:05:52 <lcafiero> I do want to note -- this is not NA specific -- but we have only spent about half our budget this year, globally, so for 2011 we should not be "shy" about doing projects and asking for money. 14:05:58 <lcafiero> That's all for NA 14:06:08 <gbraad> APAC. Kaio on I have been working on the Chinese community a lot and continue to do so. Since our appointment as mentor, we have been able to promote some of our members to Ambassadors.
