04:02:22 <zodbot> Current chairs: tuanta_ zsun
04:03:56 <tuanta_> zsun, seem just you and me today
04:04:00 <zsun> seems that not so many people active today
04:04:08 <tuanta_> any topic?
04:04:25 <zsun> Nothing from me actually.
04:04:39 <zsun> maybe just a free talk ;)
04:04:54 <tuanta_> #info Topic: Media distribution in APAC
04:05:04 <tuanta_> #info Topic: FUDCon Pune 2015
04:05:28 <tuanta_> #topic Media distribution in APAC
04:06:02 <tuanta_> #info India and China has their own media stock
04:06:32 <tuanta_> #info media stock for Asean countries and nearby is in Singapore
04:06:52 <zsun> #info Sending media from China to other areas/countries, including Hong Kong and Taiwan of China are problemtic
04:07:08 <tuanta_> why?
04:07:23 <tuanta_> Hong Kong is a part of China
04:07:40 <zsun> The customs asks for a lot of paper work, which is hardly to be done by individuals.
04:08:03 <tuanta_> you can not simple drop it at the postal?
04:08:19 <zsun> Sandly, no
04:08:41 <tuanta_> wow. 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

04:11:02 <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
