Of course we need feedback. 15:10:29 I assume this is a no? 15:10:32 lol 15:10:56 * itamarjp here 15:11:02 ok, I'd like to add a new topic 15:11:05 hi itamarjp 15:11:15 #topic LATAM FAD proposal 15:11:59 So this comes from the Council and we should work it out with LATAM folks in order to make the FAD happen, but also to ensure we will have a concrete output from it 15:12:10 #link https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/116 15:13:14 Basically LATAM wants to organize a FAD to clear communication problems and wants to put in place a sort of "regional Council" 15:14:13 While I am personally in favor of a FAD, the budget requested is rather high, so we need to work out together an agenda LATAM folks can work on 15:14:30 * robyduck means working it out with LATAM folks, we don't make any agenda for them 15:15:11 for the internal council, I am not really happy, as this goes in the opposite direction the mindshare objective is going to 15:15:15 robyduck: my opinion is that this kind of FAD is useful for all the regions..... I don't wanna see regions going ahead with different speed. 15:15:37 so I'm not for this FAD. 15:15:39 EOF 15:15:45 mailga: right, and this is the reason why the Council wants us to work on it together 15:15:50 * Kohane trying to find where is explained the budget... 15:16:16 Kohane: it's in the wiki page 15:16:49 Oh, found it, in the bottom,.. 15:16:57 but instead of reading it now, we should probably read it slowly after the meeting and then see what we can do and how we can help the region 15:17:11 * robyduck will open a ticket for it later 15:17:13 Why is over 5000 dollars? Isn't this too expensive? 15:17:24 Agree with you robyduck 15:17:36 We need to read it carefully 15:17:38 Kohane: you are from LATAM and know airfare very well 15:17:53 Yes. Expensive. 15:19:22 I already added some toughts, but now we need to work it out better. Just to make it clear again, we won't say do this or do that. We will help LATAM folks to work out a concrete proposal, trying to set up an agenda which helps them to come out with something concrete 15:20:15 * robyduck hopes you also have ideas for this ;) 15:21:07 mailga: we don't discuss if this FAD will happen or not. It will happen! We will just help them to work it out better, respecting as much as possible the budget we have this year 15:22:11 I have an opinion about that, 15:22:22 and we will add the "mindshare" POV, as we don't want to have regions working differently, but we should try to unify the ambassador processes and meetups 15:22:25 Of course, robyduck. But I don't agree, can I have an opinio? 15:22:38 s/opinio/opinion 15:22:38 mailga: no you can not :D 15:22:42 (kidding) 15:23:04 LOL 15:23:10 robyduck: I know you're a very bad person. 15:23:38 :) 15:24:07 itamarjp: you wanted to add something? 15:24:09 Cusco is an small city, airfares are expensive, Lima are probably a better place for that, or maybe outside Peru in Bogotá, Colombia, for example. 15:24:28 if theres people travelling abroad 15:24:49 well, yes, let me add this 15:24:52 I mean from abroad 15:25:29 you should read the COuncil meeting minutes from 2 hours ago, because we also discussed to make it happen together with other events, even with FLOCK 15:25:44 ok, I will read it, 15:25:49 because airfares within LATAM or to Boston could be probably the same 15:25:51 itamarjp: I agree with you. I think it would be a good idea to see other places as well. 15:26:39 itamarjp: Kohane: the main focus, however, should be on the agenda 15:26:51 Right. 15:27:52 btw: I think we can close the FAmSCo -> FOSCo ticket https://pagure.io/famsco/issue/373 15:28:12 FOSCo will not happen as it was planned 2 years ago (or more) 15:28:35 * mailga afk, phone call.... 15:28:36 Yeah, that should be closed. 15:28:48 we can (or should?) open a new ticket, as the whole process now is on mindshare's shoulders 15:28:49 I even forgot about FOSCO to be honest... 15:29:23 about FAD, I will talk with the Peruvian people, and see whats possible to improve the proposal, 15:29:32 I think we should open a new ticket and close the old one 15:29:44 jonatoni: yup 15:30:25 itamarjp: I'll open the ticket and we can get in all ideas, even make a short meeting or use your ambassadors meeting to discuss it if wanted/needed 15:30:37 does this sound reasonable to you? 15:31:17 yes, sounds good 15:31:38 * robyduck has to leave now, I'm sorry but dayjob is calling... 15:31:46 anyne can continue chairing? 15:31:56 mailga: ? 15:32:01 anyone else? 15:32:15 I'm here but I have no idea how to chair a meeting. 15:32:19 Never did it before. 15:32:32 I think we can continue next week, 15:33:22 If we don't have anything else to discuss we can close it now 15:33:34 hmm 15:33:41 as you prefer 15:33:42 I have nothing really. 15:33:54 you are all chairs, so you can do that 15:34:04 maybe the report template? 15:34:25 Tbh I haven't checked that yet 15:34:38 I need more time to comment on the ticket 15:34:41 Neither I. 15:34:57 will do it before the next meeting 15:35:54 feel free to go on, or to close, you still have a quorum 15:35:58 * robyduck has to run 15:36:01 see you 15:36:06 Kohane: itamarjp: mailga: anything else to add? 15:36:12 robudyck bye :) 15:36:29 I have nothing. 15:36:42 robyduck see you next week, and thanks for chairing 15:37:14 itamarjp mailga? 15:37:44 if not we can close it now 15:38:00 I'm fine with closing. 15:38:22 okay then 15:38:24 mailga is still on a phone call I think.... 15:38:29 we can close it 15:38:58 #endmeeting
