Ah, yes. 01:32:46 which is the only agenda we seem to have 01:33:31 Basically, the desired functionality is a to-do list for Max/Mel/anyone-else-that-can-pay-for-Ambassadors-stuff of "credit card should be applied here, in this manner." 01:33:47 ok, can we use the existing trac for that? 01:33:50 i don't think we need a separate ticket queue for this; I'd be happy to use any means you folks would like to keep it. 01:33:55 (which you may not have access to) 01:33:57 Yeah, I'm not sure why a separate trac was even suggested. 01:34:15 I think that FAmNA or FAmSCo or whatever trac/queue/ticket/todo-keeper would be fine. 01:34:46 ok, consider it done 01:34:54 My main interest is in eliminating the "maybe we will catch Max or Mel on IRC and maybe they'll remember to pay this and maybe they'll tell each other that it's done or not!" panic-method of getting things paid for. :) 01:35:11 hehe 01:36:23 #info please use the needcredit keyword in famna tickets to delineate items to pay for 01:36:37 #action jds2001 to make sure mel and max have access 01:36:58 Max and I still need to be pinged to look at the queue, unless we know there's stuff in there every single week, for the record. 01:37:16 jds2001, but that means we would need some sort of tracker for this to happen as well correct 01:37:18 But instead of "Max! Do you have 15 minutes right now so I can relay this information to you in a way you may or may not keep notes from?" it's "Max, look at the queue, all the info is there when you need it." 01:37:26 #info Mel and Max still need to be pinged to look stuff in the queue. 01:37:36 VileGent: we have one 01:38:12 jds2001, a tracker for reciepts? 01:38:13 VileGent: https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/ 01:38:23 can go in with the other famna requests 01:38:29 ok 01:38:30 VileGent: not receipts - this is for stuff to apply credit cards to 01:38:56 ok 01:39:08 assuming there is no privacy constraints about account info and stuff 01:39:28 inode0: thats a private trac instance 01:39:47 are we still supposed to be getting inode0 a credit card sometime? 01:40:13 maybe Red Hat had second thoughts? :) 01:40:33 I thought those were already going out - stickster_afk and spevack would be the ones to ping on it, iirc. 01:41:25 well, I've heard nothing and they aren't going to just send them out 01:42:04 Hm. Worth bringing up on-list? I know Max has been traveling and Paul is probably crazy busy with transition stuff, so it may just be on pause while they recover. 01:42:22 anyway, we just don't know more at this point - Max will take care of it when he is ready 01:42:40 I am pretty sure that's in the works and that there are no major blockers to it happening - I expect it to happen, but I don't know the details. 01:42:43 * mchua nods 01:43:01 Anything else y'all need from me? I'm being called to OSCON dinner. 01:43:12 go to dinner and thanks 01:43:17 go eat, thank mchua 01:43:27 Thanks folks.
