Decision will be filed in a ticket with Design. This date is post spins freeze. 20:27:14 I totally agree with it and we might want something like that to happen also in EMEA 20:27:41 ? 20:27:47 +1 20:27:53 +1 20:28:01 The scheduled milestones were not needed in the past cause we did not have something to coordinate between two groups 20:28:09 especially ours 20:28:13 sspreitzer, 20:28:30 its good if you agree, but thats your opinion 20:28:52 ? 20:28:54 i think it should only be agreed on if we have someone who will do the work for it 20:28:56 so 20:29:11 I disagree unless someone will step up for that 20:29:27 liknus, or will you step up? 20:29:29 eof 20:29:57 sspreitzer, what are you talking about? .. they decided to decide on a milestone about a custom sleeve for a spin 20:30:06 the work will be done by Design team 20:30:28 t2hot, 20:30:55 hence then the design team should decide on that and our opinion is not to mention about that 20:31:05 this is ambassadors and not design team 20:31:07 :) 20:31:16 * cwickert is there... 20:31:23 sspreitzer, we will file a ticket... it is a standard procedure 20:31:31 * liknus is also on Design team 20:31:34 ok, and it is meeting time 20:31:46 Sorry what's 8/3 - 8/10? Dates? ... and which spin are we looking at ... EMEA (Africa in my case)???? 20:31:57 ok 20:32:03 so here is the thing 20:32:28 * t2hot is on design team too 20:32:29 ! 20:32:35 When a group within fedora interacts with other group consering a release it should be done within milestones 20:32:42 (in order not to get lost) 20:33:08 if the requests fall into logical things then this is done with tickets 20:33:20 (through various trac instances) 20:34:04 In this case NA Ambassadors feel that they need to contact the Design team for creating a custon sleeve about a spin they will select 20:34:31 !! 20:34:33 and beacuse this invloves more that our team it should be done within milestone schedule 20:35:12 Do we need an official item on the Official shedule? 20:35:17 thats the question... 20:35:18 sspreitzer, 20:35:19 !!! 20:35:23 this is the Announcement topic and not a discussion topic, the mails are on the mailing list and if there should be something discussed it must be done by the mailing list. no need to waste my time by chewing everything twice. 20:35:33 eof 20:35:54 sspreitzer, this is the meeting and I am having some topics on agenda 20:36:09 this topic falls under announcements from Famsco 20:36:25 +1 for moving on 20:36:51 sspreitzer, you are acting not nice within this meeting...please dont do so 20:37:36 thats not level-head minded, stop it 20:37:45 I guess, as none has to say something about an official item we shall move forward 20:37:56 #agreed emea ambassadors have nothing to add here http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-14/ 20:38:12 sspreitzer, you are spaming... stop it 20:38:43 #topic Events 20:39:11 We are into the period of Release parties and we had a great duo of release parties here in Greece 20:39:17 cmpahar, on Thessaloniki? 20:39:52 on Thessaloniki we had a parallel release event 20:40:02 with athens through a video call 20:40:33 we had unfortunately only 12 people, probably cause of the warm 20:41:21 we had 2 of the youngest fedora contributors (15 years old), ate a cake, had fun, presented Fedora 13 and its features 20:42:03 and thats all i think. unfortunately there is no e event review, but i will post one shortly :) (final exams :)) 20:42:05 eof 20:42:10 what about athens liknus ?! 20:42:18 thanks for asking cmpahar :) 20:42:58 we did similar things in Athens and here is a report : http://pierros.papadeas.gr/?p=133 20:43:21 We would like to expand the idea about parallel events 20:43:37 And we could work on that before the release of F14 20:43:54 #idea Parallel Release Parties for F14 20:44:00 Anyone on that? 20:44:23 ! 20:44:44 cmpahar, 20:45:35 its a great idea because through small release events from all over the world, we can make one HUGE global event. Additionally we where posting some photos and the pulse of the events at twitter 20:45:54 so everyone could feel the pulse 20:46:10 i think that these are 2 good ideas of adopting in future release events 20:46:11 eof 20:46:46 thanks cmpahar 20:47:01 biertie, can you tell us about your Release party? 20:47:19 do you think some parallel one would be nice? 20:47:26 Any ideas on that 20:47:28 ? 20:47:30 how do you mean? 20:47:42 ach, yeah, it would be nice 20:47:47 but is hard to configure I think 20:47:57 to have a lot of release parties on the same dat e 20:47:58 date 20:48:13 we had a good time, a lot of people, pizza, beer, a talk on dstat by the developer 20:48:18 * liknus sees the point 20:49:00 That wonderfull :) 20:49:06 biertie, oef? 20:49:12 s/oef/eof 20:49:24 eof 20:49:25 srry 20:49:37 no problem biertie :) 20:49:48 So anyone else on a release party? 20:50:25 Just a reminder : Reviews must be sumbitted by 30 June so Famsco can decide the prizes for the event teams :) 20:50:41 oh, I missed that, where can we submit them?

21:05:38 eof 21:05:41 Where will be the media be delivered in the first place 21:05:43 ? 21:06:15 either me or I can also go and pick it up from the company or the company sends half to kital and half to me 21:06:24 cwickert, 21:06:37 or i pick the half and send the other to kital 21:06:52 I think someome on the mailing list already made a proposal 21:06:54 as long as we get this done before 5th of july! 21:07:18 so what is the status of this? can we have this somewhere in the wiki, so we have something to vote on? 21:07:22 #agreed kital takes the half of the media amount to distribute it as necessary 21:07:27 or is there a counter-proposal 21:07:40 +1 for kital sspreitzer duality 21:07:51 great, thanks kital ! 21:07:53 eof 21:08:09 sspreitzer: ? 21:08:10 cwickert, the idea was complex as i remember 21:08:14 oh stop! 21:08:22 i have another point 21:08:42 but with me and kital sending bigger parcels to event owners, is perfect imho 21:09:04 the other point is 21:09:32 kital, what about shipping expenses? can I put the receipts on the famsco trac and get a refund? 21:09:38 *reimbursement 21:10:07 i think thats all i needed to pass to this meeting 21:10:09 eof 21:10:09 sspreitzer: yes - make it so 21:10:16 +1 thanks 21:10:31 cwickert, are you ok with that? what was the other alternative? 21:11:01 I think we need an actual proposal, something we can vote on 21:11:14 and so far I have seen only one proposal on the mailing list 21:11:22 which from my POV seems to work 21:11:45 but it is not written down or anything, so there is not much to discuss ATM IMHO 21:11:47 can we vote now on kitals and my proposal then? 21:12:01 this is not really a proposal, is it? 21:12:17 if you want a vote, then it is my proposal 21:12:23 if not, then its settled 21:12:36 or you counter proposal, then its also a proposal 21:12:38 cwickert, I remember 2-3 mixed proposals on the mailing list 21:12:48 sspreitzer, please follow protocol 21:12:50 :D haha, thank geece for democracy 21:13:08 so can the media wranger please gather them on the wiki, so we have a nice overview? 21:13:21 no 21:13:35 sspreitzer, please... 21:13:43 the media wrangler proposes that he and kital receives half it 21:13:47 cwickert, you want this to be done within the next week> 21:13:50 and wants a vote on that now 21:14:12 sspreitzer, cwickert has the token now and we need to hear him 21:14:17 sspreitzer: sorry, but this is part of your job I think, just like the feature wrangler takes care of the features in the wiki, or the spins wrangler or or or 21:14:18 so please step aside 21:14:22 seriiously im not going to wait until next meeting to get this sorted 21:14:49 we can also do this in trac I think, but for the meeting we need something that everybody can see, otherwise the meetings are a waste of time 21:15:02 cwickert, +1 21:15:09 sspreitzer, are you willing to do so?

21:35:42 They were already submitted, but rejected due to license. 21:35:44 you guys will register with CACert and cacert-policy mailling list 21:35:50 I don't think there was any problem with the packaging. 21:35:52 and vote on that +1 21:36:14 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474549 21:36:22 the license of distribution is not available 21:36:28 tibbs|h: they can be packaged, but they cannot be included in Firefox by default like in Debian 21:36:40 but the license of USE is restricted to contract pasrties 21:37:05 so, we will implement CC-BY-ND, it only contracts a distribution 21:37:54 thats a matter of imperial companies and money 21:38:13 CACert is a community. I am trying to build a bridge to FOSS. 21:38:47 its our future, register, join, vote! 21:38:50 eof 21:39:21 thanks sspreitzer 21:39:26 anyone else 21:39:27 ? 21:39:35 I am closing the meeting in 1 min 21:40:58 Thanks all for attending! see ya on two weeks! 21:41:13 #endmeeting
