So we will proceed with migration normally and then we will set SOME of the tickets as private by hand, since they have sensitive information 23:09:24 we will ask everybody to help filtering those, since we have lots of tickets 23:09:43 on my side, the status is the same as last week, since I was really busy (and travelling) this week 23:09:58 I am sorry for that :) I will take the rest of the weekend to work on it! 23:10:09 eof 23:10:22 Good job athos 23:10:23 any thoughts here? 23:10:44 ! 23:10:49 go on :) 23:11:11 I will create a wiki page where I will organize 23:11:20 The squad that will help out 23:11:33 With privacy stuff 23:11:50 But first call of interest through an email 23:12:18 Eof 23:12:24 .fas mativi 23:12:25 anamativi: mativi 'Ana Clara Mativi de Souza' 23:12:31 sounds great :) thanks!!!! 23:12:49 anyone else? shall we move on? 23:13:34 .fas alexove 23:13:34 alexove: alexove 'Alex Irmel Oviedo Solis' 23:13:38 #action potty will organize a squad to work on finding sensitive information in the tickets after the migration is complete 23:13:49 #action athos will proceed with the migrations 23:13:56 #topic Call for Bids for FUDCon LATAM 2017 23:14:10 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-latam/ticket/370 23:14:47 As you know, mayorga opened the call for bids for FUDCon 2017 23:15:08 they are open until January 27th 23:15:34 so plese, make sure everyone knows about it so we have some nice bids here :) 23:16:04 mayorga: it's your ticket, do you have any inputs here? 23:16:26 Nothing to add. :-) 23:16:35 anyone else? :) 23:17:16 Next topic 23:17:33 #topic Brazilian community equipment 23:17:44 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-latam/ticket/371 23:17:50 this one is mine 23:17:53 .fas fredlima 23:17:55 fredlima: fredlima 'Frederico Henrique Gonçalves Lima' 23:18:08 please, have 3 minutes to read the ticket if you didn't 23:18:35 * fredlima Brazil 23:18:52 <_Teseu_> .fas teseu 23:18:53 _Teseu_: teseu 'Tulio Macedo' 23:20:26 note that I am still not sure if that would be a good move, but it does make sense to me. Also note that I am not asking approval for purchasing: I am asking approval to query ambassadors and make a quote on how much that would cost. Then I would open another ticket asking for approval. Then Neville would process the payment with the credit card 23:21:31 It makes sense to me too. I think other countries should consider to do the same. 23:22:18 Yes, I think every country should do it as well 23:22:24 athos, your ticket is not objective, We did it for FUDCon Peru and doesnt worked 23:22:33 ! 23:23:02 there is a discussion in the mailing list about it, itamarjp. Neville said it would be possible if it is an online company. We do have those in brazil 23:23:05 go on alexove 23:23:13 first of all, we need to know the total amount (prices, taxes, transportation, etc) I think itamarjp can produce these and send to brazilian ambassadors 23:23:17 Itamarjp can receive the reimbursement by paypal 23:23:28 EOF 23:23:53 this only for Brazil, for other countries depends of their situation 23:24:11 ! 23:24:38 the question here is, how long to be reimbursed 23:24:40 That is exactly the opposite from what the ticket says, alexove. We want approval so we can query for the total amount. We know this will be expensive, that's why it would be nice to have Neville paying directly 23:24:45 what do you think? 23:24:48 go on anamativi 23:24:51 itamarjp +1 23:25:06 To add on Athos' ticket: my experience as an ambassador, at least here in Brazil, is that, SWAG and a nice visual identity (for both the ambassadors and the booth/space in the events) are essential to get more people interacting and coming to our activities 23:25:56 But to get this stuff we cant depend on one person paying, it's way too much. Other countries can do the same thing before the end of the fiscal year. It would be a great boost to LATAM ambassadors 23:25:57 eof 23:26:14 +1 23:26:22 That was my initial thought when I opened the ticket 23:26:26 I have a suggestion, 23:26:38 go on :) 23:27:00 everyone here put $100 on the table, then we start producing $500 of material, 23:28:11 athos: If your request is only for Brazil, I think you have 2 ways: first Neville might pay directly or anyone can pay and wait for reimbursement 23:28:23 the itamarjp proposal is good idea too 23:28:55 It doesnt make sense to me that we need to pay for something that will be "made" by 1 person, and that will not follow the usual process (open ticket for event, write reports, get reimbursed) exactly because this stuff is meant to be used for years, not for a single event, so the standard process "kinda" does not apply 23:30:05 <_Teseu_> anamativi +1 23:30:05 anamativi++ 23:30:06 mayorga: Karma for mativi changed to 4 (for the f24 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 23:30:15 anamativi, you're being selfish, 23:30:21 it won't be made by one person, 23:30:33 we are going to produce for all of us. 23:30:49 I said "by" one person, not "for" one person :P 23:31:11 anamativi, thats not true, 23:31:13 It's not the same. One person will produce and ship to others in the country, like EMEA is doing 23:32:00 either way, the same swag would be produced and the money would come out from the budget. So in theory, it would make ZERO difference to have neville paying OR to have everybody waiting for a $100 reinbursment 23:32:29 since people complain about the wating time for reimbursements, this would solve the problem 23:32:42 thats the whole point of doing it this way 23:33:06 ok, the problem is the amount eg, 2k dollars, so neville should pay direct to the company that will produce all things, its the best way IMHO 23:33:07 also, doing it NOW would save us from spending money in the begining of the NEXT fiscal year 23:33:37 that is my point, rosset 23:34:12 rosset, does someone asked if Neville agree with that ? 23:34:24 he did in the mailing list, itamarjp 23:34:30 do you agree that Neville paying directly or reimbursing fast is the same ? 23:34:43 he said it can't be done for the whole region (LATAM), but can be done in a single country 23:35:20 as rosset said, there's also the high amount problem 23:35:24 which is solved as well 23:35:25 but reimbursing is not the same when we look at all the fees, we will lose a lot of money reimbursing 100$ to, lets say, 5 contributors 23:35:29 and if it is the same thing 23:35:37 so let me decide how to handle my ticket 23:36:03 if it is a bad idea, let me know though 23:36:09 athos, I can receive reimbursement one time and gave it back to the people. 23:36:12 as I said, I am still not sure if this is a good move 23:36:52 you mean, you would cover for that untill reimbursements? that works too 23:37:03 itamar, too much bureaucracy, if neville can go ahead and pay, it's the better option for sure 23:37:58 rossert +1 23:38:07 we have my ticket waiting for long time, 23:38:08 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-latam/ticket/362 23:38:09 rosset* 23:38:16 <_Teseu_> rosset +1 23:38:24 anyway, is everybody +1 on the matter that we may go on and query the brazilian ambassadors? we can decide the paying method in the next ticket if this is a problem 23:38:40 we my ask neville to show up and make things clear 23:38:44 can we vote? :) 23:38:49 +1 23:38:54 +1 23:38:57 +1 23:38:58 +1 23:39:03 <_Teseu_> +1 23:39:55 You must do the complete task (wiki, quotes, etc) then we can talk about your ticket. Simple 23:40:24 did you read the ticket alexove? :) 23:40:47 I am asking IF I can make that kind of quote or not 23:41:05 I am not asking for the money to produce the swag YET 23:41:09 +1 23:41:15 I will do it in a next ticket 23:41:22 after we have the quotes, as you said 23:42:11 anyone else? we are +6, -0 so far 23:42:21 itamarjp, ping neville one more time to fix your ticket as well 23:42:24 potty, alexove? 23:43:22 alexove, I see this vote now being like a "is this a good idea or not?" kinda thing :) 23:43:31 #agreed ticket #371 is approved, we will decide how to process the payment after we have a real quote and open the next ticket 23:43:45 #topic OpenFloor 23:44:02 does anyone have any topic they would like to bring to the meeting tonight? 23:44:17 Id like to talk about FGSL 23:44:31 go on 23:45:12 me, athos and fredlima attended the 'forum goiano de software livre' yesterday and today 23:45:50 it was not "great" (full story will be on reports), but it gave us the idea to make a wiki page with an "events guide" 23:46:24 where people that attend events in different regions can share their experience in a brief and condensed way 23:47:15 for FGSL, for example, I'd say anyone willing to attend should talk a lot to the organization before, because they didnt do what they promised to us 23:47:44 we had NO INTERNET, and in the first day we didnt even had chairs or energy to plug notebooks for most of the time 23:48:19 I'll create this wiki this week, anyone can feel free to put entries in there 23:48:35 I'm thinking about calling it "LATAM Events Guide" 23:48:41 What do you guys think about this? 23:48:45 anamativi++ 23:48:45 athos: Karma for mativi changed to 5 (for the f24 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 23:49:15 anamativi++ 23:49:15 fredlima: Karma for mativi changed to 6 (for the f24 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 23:49:46 ! 23:49:48 athos++ 23:49:48 fredlima: Karma for athoscr changed to 10 (for the f24 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 23:49:52 go on alexove 23:50:11 In our case, in Peru we have an event named CONEISC 23:50:47 in these event we contact to organizing team many months before the event and coordinate our talks and requeriments by wiki page 23:51:08 the organizing team can see the talks proposals and requeriments 23:51:39 they can select the talks and then we can create the ticket with the selected proposals 23:51:45 you can see this wiki page 23:51:48 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Coneisc_2015#Sesiones_Aprobadas 23:51:57 sorry, the page is in spanish 23:52:03 EOF 23:52:38 that sounds great! 23:53:00 would you be willing to add that knowledge to the page ana is creating, alexove? :) 23:53:14 That is great alexove, we had a wiki too, for events that are well organized this works perfectly, but it was not the case!
