It'd be a couple of thousand dollars with DHL Airmail. And if I send it with Czech Post I will not be able to track the package all the way because they hand it over to an international mail provider who hands it over to a local postal service. 16:19:25 sesivany: for polo shirts it does make sense, because we only send one or two shirts to every ambassador 16:19:41 I already shipped some to LATAM, I think even to yn1v 16:19:46 they use a standard tracking number collaborating postal services should be compatible with, but you know how it works in the third world. 16:19:50 but for media it does not make sense at all 16:20:17 cwickert: no, I think that you sent those to aeperezt 16:20:31 I mean, APAC is the source of all cheap stuff, I don't think it makes any sense to ship media there 16:21:01 cwickert: they even produced polo shirts themselves recently. 16:22:28 yn1v: you're probably a better person to answer the question whether we still need i686. I haven't seen 32-bit computers in EMEA for some time, but in LATAM and APAC it might be different. 16:23:26 There are some telecomunication companies giving away mini-laptops when you contact services 16:24:03 dafuq? 16:24:12 * cwickert thinks hat is funny 16:24:22 so, there is need for i386 media, but I don't think they will be able to handle WS 16:24:52 probably we will need to porduce locally some xfce media for those 16:25:19 yeah, that's also a question, I think most of the 32-bit computers are 8+ years old, they are not able to run WG anyway. 16:25:29 But yes, most computers are 64 bits 16:26:28 From my point of view, I think WS should be produced only 64. and leave 32 as a custom solution to each region if needed 16:26:31 I think the last widely sold 32-bit computers were some netbooks in 2008-10 and they were too weak at that time. 16:27:26 cwickert: if we should have some lightweight option, what should it be? Xfce, LXDE,...? 16:28:16 Xfce 16:28:23 too late for LXQt 16:28:42 and LXDE is more or less in low-maintenance mode 16:28:43 I meant that each region implement a custom solution if they need 32bits media, because it will be a small amount and most likely needing for a light weight desktop 16:28:55 we can still do an alternative media 16:29:15 say with KDE, MATE, Connamon, Xfce and LXDE 16:29:29 * cwickert did not test the size for this combination yet 16:29:40 cwickert: yeah, LXDE is dead pretty much, I'm be bit worried about the future of Xfce either, it seems to be really slow, I don't think they are able to adjust to all the changes: systemd, wayland,... we'll see. 16:29:44 #action cwickert to investigate sizes for an alternative media 16:30:10 sesivany: I don't think it's going away any time soon. 16:30:24 action cwickert to bring up the topic of media in the Workstaion WG again 16:31:00 action tuanta to clarify if the Server WG wants media and if they still want i686 16:31:04 too bad Enlightenment is not packaged for Fedora, that seems to be alive enough, they already support wayland,... 16:31:18 yes, and there also is Maui 16:31:23 or Hawai, whatever 16:31:37 also with wayland support 16:31:55 for the record: both server and workstation WG want to do x86_64 by default 16:32:25 ah, Christopher Meng and Lubomir Rintel are behind Maui... interesting. 16:34:56 I think our proposal should be 64-bit WG media + some alternative regions can pick. 16:35:33 and we'll see what people will say about it. 16:36:07 because we should move it forward, there was some discussion in the mailing list, but it has died out, no one takes it as a priority. 16:37:25 ok, is that all for today or you want to discuss something else too? 16:37:34 * sesivany will have to leave soon... 16:37:48 not from me 16:38:00 cwickert? 16:39:08 no,e 16:39:09 nope 16:39:18 sorry, already back at work and busy 16:39:24 ok, let's end it then. 16:39:26 ok 16:39:34 thank you for coming and meet you next week! 16:39:38 #endmeeting
