04:22:41 <tuanta> any questions for the organizer, MarioB?
04:22:48 <MarioB> I am the owner of this ticket. Do you have questions?
04:23:44 <tuanta> MarioB: honestly, I do not think there are many questions, comments for your ticket today since there are not many attendees in this meeting
04:23:51 <MarioB> there are also infos in the wiki https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSSASIA_2014
04:24:02 <MarioB> tuanta: yes
04:24:02 <tuanta> just three of us, AFAICS
04:24:13 <MarioB> ok
04:24:27 <tuanta> just try to raise to issue today
04:24:32 <masta> the expense looks reasonable.
04:24:44 <MarioB> I also discussed participation with Pierros yesterday and he will also try to come
04:24:57 <MarioB> so, we would have already 7 Ambassadors then
04:25:20 <tuanta> cool
04:25:22 <MarioB> regarding the budget - I had also sent it to Christoph Wickert. He said it is reasonable.
04:25:52 <masta> for a FAD that is very reasonable
04:26:07 <tuanta> I think so too. just a small problem: it has not been in plan from the beginning of the year
04:26:12 <MarioB> nevertheless, I dont know what funding is generally available. But, I think there will be a lot of participants judging from the feedback we get already.
04:26:46 <tuanta> but I think it is not a big deal, because we have some reserved/not-spent fund for this kind of event/activity
04:28:02 <MarioB> Maybe, we could put it into the plan for the future years. 2015 it will probably be held in Myanmar.
04:28:14 <MarioB> how to proceed now?
04:28:41 <tuanta> MarioB: is it fine if we can discuss this more and do voting in the next APAC meeting (I think it would be next week or the other week)
04:28:49 <masta> tuanta: if the event is a success, perhaps budget could be set aside for a repeat in 2014
04:29:01 <tuanta> +1 masta
04:29:17 <masta> MarioB: so please make the event a smashing happy time
04:29:18 <MarioB> well, the event will be in 2014
04:29:30 <MarioB> but at the end of february. so in three months.
04:31:09 <masta> if I were in APAC I would plus-one.
04:31:20 <MarioB> seems like the wiki was not updated about the meeting time https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_meetings?rd=Ambassadors/Meetings
04:32:32 <tuanta> yes MarioB. It has not been maintained for a while. We should change this.
04:33:12 <tuanta> MarioB: should we do voting for this fund request in the next meeting?
04:33:24 <tuanta> today, we have not many attendees
04:33:27 <MarioB> a meeting in two weeks would be just before Christmas. In EMEA people are busy then, but here it is not such a big deal. How can we ensure that there would be more FAS to vote on this?
04:34:19 <masta> if this is early Febuary, I'd suggest you vote as soon as possible.
04:34:19 <MarioB> alternatively, we could try to ask people to join a meeting next saturday
04:34:29 <MarioB> masta: +1
04:35:21 <tuanta> we will raise this up and do voting in the next meeting although other people attend or not
04:35:37 <tuanta> I will send a call for a meeting next week
04:35:53 <tuanta> we have a lot of things need to be discussed
04:36:09 <MarioB> do you want to make a meeting next Saturday? I think two weeks is a bit long as we need to plan ahead.
04:36:31 <MarioB> ok
04:36:39 <tuanta> yes, next Saturday. It seems to replace for this meeting
04:37:13 <MarioB> is there anything that needs clarification in the request at this moment?
04:37:15 <tuanta> #idea APAC meeting should be on the next Saturday
04:37:31 <tuanta> it is fine to me
04:37:34 <MarioB> +1
04:38:05 <MarioB> vanhonit: agree?
04:38:14 <vanhonit> yes
04:38:36 <MarioB> ok. good. Then, I guess this is all for todays meeting.
04:38:38 <tuanta> so, I think we should close this meeting. then call for another meeting next Saturday
04:38:45 <tuanta> ok?
04:39:00 <vanhonit> ok
04:39:10 <MarioB> thank you for following up!
04:39:13 <MarioB> bb
