04:11:10 <tuanta> #topic Open floor
04:11:15 <tuanta> ok, mpduty
04:11:42 <tuanta> what do you want to know about FAD?
04:11:43 <mpduty> tuanta, I wanted to know about fad
04:12:06 <tuanta> you can find a lot of useful information on the wiki
04:12:08 <tuanta> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Activity_Day_-_FAD
04:12:26 <mpduty> there are any recent plans?
04:13:02 <tuanta> nope
04:13:12 <tuanta> FAD is for getting something done
04:13:31 <mpduty> okay
04:13:32 <tuanta> if you have got something need to be done, you can organize a FAD
04:13:33 <mpduty> isn'
04:13:48 <mpduty> isn't it regularly organized?
04:13:59 <tuanta> there were not many FAD organized in APAC for years
04:14:42 <tuanta> the main problem is we did not see anything like that (need to be getting done) here
04:15:13 <tuanta> if you have any ideas, you can bring it up to discuss
04:15:14 <mpduty> what do you actually mean by 'need to be getting done'
04:15:21 <tuanta> they may be formed to a FAD
04:16:08 <tuanta> e.g. you are in design team, want to meet up and hack for wall papers for F21
04:16:51 <tuanta> or e.g. you are in infra team, you want to meet up and hack for something new for better serving to the whole community
04:17:30 <tuanta> or e.g. you are in ambassadors team, you want to make annual plan for the coming year
04:17:31 <mpduty> I am in the docs contributers team and I was discussing about framing a course for school students
04:17:47 <tuanta> it would be a good idea
04:18:24 <tuanta> if you have someone share the same ideas, and you see it is best to meet face to face to solve it out, you can organize a FAD
04:18:57 <mpduty> tuanta, I shall discuss it with docs project leaders
04:19:19 <mpduty> I had a discussion with randomuser
04:19:30 <tuanta> FAD is a premier event, similar to FUDCons and Flock
04:19:55 <tuanta> but it usually focuses on one or a few specific tasks
04:20:36 <jsmith> We are having a Docs workshop at Flock... that would be a good time to focus on building curriculum, etc.
04:20:48 <tuanta> good
04:20:55 <mpduty> nice
04:22:28 <tuanta> when you can form things to organize a FAD, you can ask for budget and use it to support the most *active* people (in that specific thing - which need to be done in that FAD)
04:22:42 <tuanta> to travel in for meetup
04:23:19 <mpduty> okay
04:23:46 <tuanta> if that's organized in other places, and you are invited, you can also ask for travel subsidy and accommodation
04:24:03 <tuanta> all is for better contributing to Fedora project
04:24:47 <tuanta> Fedora project would like to thank you for your time (for traveling and working on that issue)
04:25:00 <tuanta> that's all basic information
04:25:38 <mpduty> yes, I got what I wanted to know
04:25:47 <tuanta> please feel free to ask on the mailing list if you need any help
04:26:29 <tuanta> FAD is not just for ambassadors, but for all other teams
04:27:19 <tuanta> anything else today?
04:27:31 <mpduty> no
04:27:37 <mpduty> thats all from me
04:27:58 <mpduty> just would like to meet other APAC people in this meeting
04:28:07 <tuanta> :)
04:28:16 <mpduty> know how they are working
04:28:16 <tuanta> ok, then we will close this meeting now
04:28:21 <mpduty> yes
04:28:27 <tuanta> please help me to send the minutes over the lists
04:28:33 <mpduty> sure
