We produce them 3 times cheaper in EMEA. Do you have to pay some extra fee on storage? 17:16:44 ok I have no idea about the prices but $1.1 per DVD seems quite nice 17:16:55 sesivany, you order dual later dvds for 3 times cheaper? 17:16:59 sesivany, double sided dvds 17:17:03 sesivany: multi-dvd? 17:17:18 yeah, with double sided dvds? 17:17:29 s/double sided/dual layer/\ 17:17:29 nb that was my point to me it looks ok on price but as I never order media no idea sesivany perspective is appreciated in this case 17:17:47 nb, should be use a cover for that? 17:17:55 nb: oh... 17:17:58 not double-sided, but multilayer, for cca $.35. If it's double-sided, it may explain the difference in price. 17:17:59 bckurera: it includes a cover 17:18:10 FWIW this is about 20-30 cents per unit cheaper than our previous supplier 17:18:32 so DVD + Printed cover . USD 1.1 per unit ? sounds good :) 17:18:32 nb: although, they started out much less expensive. 17:18:37 bckurera: right 17:18:59 nb: sesivany: it might be good to discuss your production offline from this meeting. 17:19:00 sounds good to me to 17:19:07 bckurera, yes, printed cover and dvd 17:19:14 here is my +1 17:19:27 I'm not complaining, I was just curious. You can simply compare prices in different places in the world. For me, it's OK. 17:19:28 nb: sesivany: sounds like we could possibly get lower pricing in NA even. 17:19:44 * nb would suggest we go ahead with this for F18, and possibly research more suppliers for F19 17:19:48 can->can't 17:19:56 sesivany: aye 17:20:07 nb: +1 to the PO 17:20:14 +1 17:20:17 +1 to the PO from me (of course) 17:20:17 +1 17:20:37 bckurera: ? your vote? 17:20:41 oh, you did 17:20:58 +1 17:21:07 casted 2 times :) 17:21:10 lol 17:21:52 ok 17:22:14 so it is approved by all presents 17:22:15 #agreed FAmNA quote for 5,000 multi-live DL dvd's for $5,500 is approved 17:22:38 lets move to other ticket 17:23:05 bckurera, do you want to discuss ticket 326? 17:23:13 * herlo notes the agenda is here: https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/report/9 17:23:22 .famsco 326 17:23:22 https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/ticket/326 17:23:24 329? 17:23:28 .famsco 329 17:23:28 https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/ticket/329 17:23:56 * herlo whistles while he helps 17:23:57 shall we take 329 and get back to 326 please? 17:24:36 herlo 329 is a fpl famsco don't work on FADs 17:25:08 aeperezt: I was just showing links 17:25:18 herlo, ok 17:25:20 aeperezt: and I agree 17:25:32 this should go to fudcon-planning trac 17:25:45 or something similar 17:25:45 so we can change topic to 326? 17:26:11 aeperezt: wait, topic change for 329 or 326.

I mean some regions might be very active and I don't want to disqualify them... 17:38:05 sesivany, we can do 1 per region and 1 over all 17:38:08 * herlo was saying that he thinks the competition if run, should be challenged within a region. 17:38:21 that is the reason to select winners from each region, not taking fedora as a whole 17:38:57 * herlo thinks the 1 overall should probably be removed. 17:39:13 aeperezt : this varies region to regionmpare events in two regions I think 17:39:18 ok, let's go with 1 per region. And I think $80 is reasonable prize. 17:39:48 sesivany: care to make an #info proposal ? 17:39:54 sesivany, +1 17:40:23 one more thing: do we have any criteria for choosing the best party? 17:40:33 If we take $80 then for all regions it would be $320 17:40:45 every regions can choose their winner or we should choose? 17:41:07 aeperezt: yes, that's the point. Who will make the decision. 17:41:44 probably recommend criteria, but let the regional judge/champion decide the final criteria as long as it's transparently available 17:41:48 ? 17:42:31 agreed 17:42:57 herlo, agreed 17:43:04 agreed 17:43:21 anyone to draft a proposal and present in the next meeting then? 17:43:44 and I wouldn't even specify the criteria. Just let the regions handle it. 17:43:47 We can agree with the no of prices and $80 today 17:44:08 sesivany: fine with me, the criteria is semi-specific to region anyway, or at least could be. 17:44:32 bckurera: up to 4 prizes, each of $80, right? 17:44:45 seems pretty straightforward. 17:45:04 * herlo notes he has a hard stop at the top of the hour. 17:45:15 herlo ok 17:45:51 * herlo waits for someone to make a formal proposal we can all vote on... 17:45:53 what about other, shall we agree on that! 17:46:16 herlo I ll do it and next meeting will conclude it\ 17:46:28 let's vote for $80 per region to reward the organizers of the best F18 release party in the region. 17:46:46 +1 17:46:54 +1 17:47:19 +1 17:47:21 sesivany: with one minor change s/the region/each region/ 17:47:27 Yes that seems good, it is upto regions to select the winner and determine the criteria and deadline and all 17:47:29 +1 17:47:36 yay! 17:47:50 #agreed $80 per region to reward the organizers of the best F18 release party in each region 17:48:07 nb: feel free to add your vote.

Removing anything that isn't speicfic to reimbursement. That is the goal of this guideline, not for prepayment, not for direct payment. Just reimbursement 17:53:33 LATAM is also up and running now 17:53:46 if you are already running, great! No need to adjust unless things really don't make sense for you. 17:53:50 aeperezt that is great 17:54:03 * herlo is done. 17:54:31 herlo we can see it, normally every guideline need to be changed when it is running, then only we see holes and improvements 17:54:41 bckurera: yep. Good plan! 17:54:41 specially when it deal with money :) 17:54:49 herlo: we adopted the APAC draft, but made it much simpler. But we're open to new ideas. 17:55:13 sesivany: so did we, and then we stripped it down down down. It's a very minimalist document now. 17:55:29 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAMNA_Reimbursement_Guidelines <-- for reference 17:55:36 still more to go, probably. 17:55:40 herlo: that was our goal, too.

He hasn't been present at our meetings for very looong time. Is he still active? 18:05:32 it's uses fedmsg, fas.client (I think) and trac apis to automate tickets when a fas user requests membership in ambassadors 18:05:57 bckurera: only big change is that I do tickets once a week. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same as when kital ran fama. 18:06:06 sesivany, well I have been wandering the same he has not been active on latam 18:06:25 bckurera: however, when ftl is in place, it will be more automatic with me just cleaning up things once a week and doing reporting once a month. 18:06:44 * herlo does need to step away. thanks everyone.... 18:06:47 ok thanks a lot herlo youa re doing it good 18:06:55 bckurera: thx! :) 18:06:59 sesivany, he send an email rewarding some latam matter this weekend but basically has not been active, on the email he mention he was busy and plans to reactivate him self 18:07:41 yesh dayjob is killing us :) 18:07:47 if nothing else should we close the meeting 18:07:52 bckurera, same here 18:07:54 btw everyone, are you ok with the meeting time after the time change?
