Maybe nb has it? 15:11:13 nb: ^ 15:11:43 (no luck today) 15:11:59 mailga: do you have any topics to discuss, as you are going to leave? 15:13:17 No, I haven't any atm. 15:14:14 ok, others? I didn't send out any agenda, the plan was to have the LATAM FAD now 15:15:05 itamarjp? 15:15:35 robyduck: go on, sorry. 15:15:41 #topic LATAM FAD proposal 15:15:45 https://pagure.io/famsco/issue/426 15:16:37 This is a topic from the last meeting too, we agreed to add thoughts or any suggestions to the proposal, in order to have a concrete outcome from this FAD 15:17:42 I see ticket 422 also related to that 15:17:53 https://pagure.io/famsco/issue/422 15:18:23 but more than a report we should, according to the COuncil's request, work out an agenda 15:19:11 together with LATAM folks, not by enforce anything 15:20:09 itamarjp: fredlima: is there a owner of this FAD? Alexove? 15:20:25 robyduck: I don't know 15:21:37 Alex moved on the whole request also to the Council, I'll add him to the ticket as subscriber 15:23:38 Is there anything you have for this topic? Seems I am doing a monologue today :/ 15:24:14 I need to add my feedback there, but it seems I need more time to do it :/ 15:24:28 jonatoni: that's fine 15:24:41 * mailga goes... Thanks, see you all. 15:24:56 ok so let's see if we can work out something on the ticket, but don't forget it :D 15:25:04 mailga: cheers, see you 15:25:25 robyduck yes sure :) 15:25:34 bye mailga 15:26:37 #topic FAmA 15:26:47 another ticket we need to close down ASAP 15:27:09 we did all the migration and settings, just need a full time FAmA 15:27:59 actually me and giannisk are doing the work, and are set as alias for fama@fedoraproject.org 15:28:22 if you have any objection please make it now 15:28:29 is anything we can help with FAmA? 15:28:50 however, this should be a responsibility ad interim 15:29:37 jonatoni: the best would be to find a mentor who is willing to take this responsibility 15:30:12 if not, we can also add another one and create a small FAmA team, as proposed by Justin IIRC 15:31:03 will try to talk with some mentors to see if they are willing to help 15:31:50 more than helping, I'd prefer to have a FAmA person, as he can control all the actions he does easily, and doesn't need to rely on others 15:32:21 just talked with Justin, and I think it's better to have more than one person that can be FAmA person 15:32:49 * jwf waves, sort of :) 15:33:17 brb 15:34:05 if we will not find one single person to do that we can discuss again about FAmA how we will continue with that 15:34:29 robyduck, I like the idea of a FAmA team with an leader with power of taking decisions, 15:36:21 sorry, phone 15:36:33 we can also go for that, sure 15:36:47 but we should have 3 persons, not more 15:37:23 yep 3 persons should be the maximum 15:37:29 jonatoni: I can ask some mentors too, let's try to find at least one 15:37:51 okay 15:37:54 jonatoni: should I mark an action for this? 15:38:15 yes sure 15:38:28 #action jonatoni and robyduck to reach out to some mentors trying to find another member for a small FAmA team 15:39:28 hopefully we can close it next week :) 15:40:11 we have 15 minutes for a new discussion, and 5 for Open Floor 15:40:30 #topic Create Ambassador event report template 15:40:37 https://pagure.io/famsco/issue/422 15:41:28 I tagged this ticket also with mindshare, as this is directly related to its activity and I would welcome bexelbie adding his thoughts on that too 15:41:52 jwf: this is your ticket, want to add something as introduction? 15:42:54 Yeah, give me a moment to get a quick refresh 15:43:07 sure 15:43:10 Ahh, yeah 15:44:26 So, obviously writing event reports is a key part of how we communicate what the Ambassadors are doing both to our contributors but also to people outside of the community. It's also a good opportunity for the event organizers to introspect on their event and think critically about what went well and what could be better. I was hoping that a common template, or maybe something like an SOP, would be helpful to have for Ambassadors who are writing 15:44:26 event reports. 15:44:36 It's explained a little more in detail in the ticket, but this is the quick idea. :) 15:44:39 s/to/too 15:46:48 jwf: this is related to mindshare, to budgeting and to regional event planning, so it's quite important IMHO 15:46:59 Originally, this ticket was filed to CommOps, but it was filed before FAmSCo was regularly meeting again 15:47:00 So I thought it made the most sense for FAmSCo to spearhead this 15:47:20 yup, agree 15:48:00 also, having a template would also help to understand better, which events are working and where we should just drop our presence the next year 15:48:31 * jwf leaves keyboard for a bit, jonatoni can poke me if anything else is needed from me :) 15:48:37 There are many events where we are present without any reason, just because "we are there every year, so we will go also this year" 15:49:02 yep agree with you 15:50:30 and last but not least, budgeting will go in that direction. Regional events will get funding if we have good reports from them. 15:51:58 can we try to add some brainstorming in the ticket? We need to add the FCAIC as subscriber too, in order to get his POV too 15:52:18 does this work? 15:52:18 +1 15:52:22 yes 15:52:38 are itamarjp and fredlima still around? 15:52:44 +1 15:52:50 :D 15:52:50 +1 15:53:45 #action add your ideas and make some brainstorming for a event reporting template directly to pagure #422 15:53:55 #topic Open Floor 15:54:07 I have two things 15:54:52 1) Beta will probably be released next tuesday, we should start to make a call for Release Parties, the final is not so far away 15:55:54 2) FLOCK registration is still open, good talks and workshops are always welcome 15:56:16 * jwf would be interested in an Ambassador workshop, generally :) 15:56:47 Would make sense for maybe some FAmSCo folks to organize something where we can maybe use the opportunity where folks from every region are present 15:57:08 I don't have ideas right now, but I'd like to see this as an attendee… if someone has the time and energy to drive an idea or workshop :) 15:57:10 jwf: that's rather difficult, but could be a good idea. A sort of best practice workshop? 15:57:19 robyduck: Oh! 15:57:23 Maybe a budget training workshop 15:57:30 This could be something that would be very valuable 15:57:38 yes 15:57:49 To train regional leadership or Ambassadors about some of the newer tools with budget / financial reporting 15:57:55 I would find this very valuable 15:58:23 I see many people who still are unsure about processes, budget, even swags or whatever. Why not? Could be worth to think about, really 15:58:42 nice idea 15:59:47 jwf: jonatoni: there are still 15 days, maybe you can workout some ideas for discussion? 16:00:05 definitely yes 16:00:09 we can work on that 16:00:20 It's a long time I didn't see an ambassador talk/workshop anywhere 16:00:37 Yeah, this could be good 16:00:40 * robyduck likes the idea, cool 16:00:44 I could contribute ideas but I will be strapped for time to commit to this 16:01:04 Might be nice to have a couple of FAmSCo members commit their names to this idea, I really think it would be a great opportunity 16:01:20 jwf: no worries, we will find you everywhere to force you to commit your ideas :D 16:01:27 Hahahahahah :) 16:01:53 ok, let's close for today, thanks all for coming 16:01:58 More than willing to share ideas, but I wouldn't be able to drive the workshop planning 16:02:09 * jwf ducks out now for a local Fedora meetup :) 16:02:13 See ya, folks! 16:02:23 bye jwf 16:02:26 if you have anything urgent, speak now 16:02:31 bye jwf 16:02:52 jonatoni insists I mention it's in Tirana ;) 16:02:52 see you next week 16:03:02 :) 16:03:13 #endmeeting
