It is not such difficult in Vietnam 04:09:05 <tuanta_> so maybe, Hong Kong and Taiwan may need to request from Singapore stock 04:09:21 <zsun> The customs wants to make sure the DVDs are legal and did not break the copyright and other law things 04:09:43 <zsun> so usually only an company can handle this 04:10:13 <tuanta_> zsun: can you ask for help from Red Hat Beijing? 04:10:14 <zsun> tuanta_: as I said before, Taiwan already got their own from Singarpore 04:10:36 <zsun> tuanta_: Yes I may ask for their help later. I am just too busy till this week. 04:10:38 <rtnpro> Hi all 04:10:43 <rtnpro> I got a bit late 04:10:46 <tuanta_> hi rtnpro 04:10:51 <tuanta_> #chair rtnpro 04:10:51 <zodbot> Current chairs: rtnpro tuanta_ zsun 04:10:53 <rtnpro> .hellomynameis rtnpro 04:10:54 <zodbot> rtnpro: rtnpro 'Ratnadeep Debnath' <rtnpro@gmail.com> 04:11:02 <zsun> #action zsun ask Red Hat Beijing about sending DVDs from China to other area 04:11:11 <tuanta_> ok, zsun. please try 04:11:21 <zsun> tuanta_: Hong Kong is okay to take DVD into with people 04:11:39 <tuanta_> good way. 04:11:55 <zsun> I mean, when I am going into Hong Kong, I can take DVD there. So I will bring some with me during HKOSC 04:12:18 <tuanta_> yes, It makes sense 04:13:01 <tuanta_> I am concerning a bit for other countries: up to now, there are two media requests made on Trac (for Vietnam and Sri Lanka) 04:13:39 <tuanta_> we need more active people in other countries to follow this up 04:15:07 <zsun> so currently, IN, CN(Including TW) and SG have already got DVD. 04:15:08 <tuanta_> Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, etc. 04:15:21 <zsun> and others still not, right? 04:15:23 <tuanta_> yes, zsun 04:15:53 <tuanta_> Sri Lanka is ok since Danishka is working there. He will bring some back to his country on vacation 04:17:01 <zsun> maybe I shall check the rules of taking DVD into Indonesia so that when guys heading for GNOME.Asia, they can bring some there. But I wonder if it is too late(also the same consideration for HKOSC) 04:19:45 <tuanta_> yes, it maybe too late 04:21:21 <tuanta_> a lot of problems 04:21:46 <tuanta_> but we still need to be active with hope that it will be improved time to time 04:22:16 <tuanta_> keep walking :) 04:22:23 <zsun> yes. And one point is we should figure out the local laws and rules so that it can be easier for later times 04:22:38 <zsun> I will make this an IDEA item :) 04:23:04 <tuanta_> I will have another call to missing countries 04:23:13 <tuanta_> yes, please, zsun 04:23:46 <tuanta_> #action tuanta to Make another call to missing countries to remind them request for F21 media 04:24:09 <zsun> #idea everyone figure out the local laws and rules of customs for sending and receiving swags (especially media) to and gather information for APAC swag central production 04:24:25 <zsun> oh no 04:24:27 <zsun> #undo 04:24:27 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: IDEA by zsun at 04:24:09 : everyone figure out the local laws and rules of customs for sending and receiving swags (especially media) to and gather information for APAC swag central production 04:24:38 <zsun> idea everyone figure out the local laws and rules of customs for sending and receiving swags (especially media) and gather information for APAC swag central production 04:24:47 <tuanta_> ? 04:24:48 <zsun> #idea everyone figure out the local laws and rules of customs for sending and receiving swags (especially media) and gather information for APAC swag central production 04:24:54 <tuanta_> good :) 04:25:13 <tuanta_> #topic FUDCon Pune 2015 04:25:14 <zsun> the 'to' after ')' is not needed ;) 04:25:47 <tuanta_> #info CfP for FUDCon has been closed 04:26:13 <tuanta_> and according to: 04:26:16 <tuanta_> #link http://fedoramagazine.org/fudcon-pune-2015-open-for-sponsorship-requests/ 04:26:44 <tuanta_> they will accept sponsorship requests until April 30th, 2015 04:27:49 <tuanta_> #info Sponsorship requests are going to be accepted up to April 30th, 2015 04:28:13 <tuanta_> please don't miss this chance :) 04:28:26 <tuanta_> zsun, are you planning to FUDCon? 04:28:47 <zsun> FUDCon APAC 2015 this year is on the same time of HKOSC.
