Very impressed with core team. 17:22:07 <decause> there were members from many countries representing their region, and the project as a whole 17:22:34 <decause> particularly I'd like to thank Neville Cross for being so helpful to me personally 17:23:29 <decause> his work with the IKARO robotics project is inspiring, and is part of a National program in Nicaragua, from what I understand 17:23:43 <decause> there is much potential for impact outside of LATAM with IKARO, IMHO 17:24:02 <decause> he gave a session and demo at FUDCon 17:24:27 <decause> more good news 17:24:32 <decause> #link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDEL22jFXYU 17:24:50 <decause> #link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfdgWD4R0NQ 17:25:09 <decause> These are links to FUDCon interviews that were aired on national television :) 17:25:52 <decause> there were many other amazing talks at the conference proper, but I won't go into depth on each of those here 17:26:36 <decause> Attendance was lower in Cordoba than Cuzco, but that was somewhat expected (Cuzco is a destination city) 17:27:12 <decause> though there weren't as many new users, this meant a much more intense gathering of Fedora core organizers and members 17:27:35 <decause> we had a very informative Workshop session on Saturday after the event about strategies moving forward in LATAM for both FUDCOn, and the region 17:28:00 <decause> I have a lengthy full-transcript of that session, and will be posting a follow-up report to my blog this week specifically based on that workshop 17:28:16 <decause> tl;dr: for FUDCon, Improving attendance in the future will be helped by formalizing an organizing team, reducing noise on fudcon-planning list, increased marketing/promotion in the region and online, and cross-promoting at other FADs and Events. 17:28:57 <decause> another complicating factor was that the country was in the middle of national elections during the conference 17:29:18 <decause> this impacted the availability of local businesses, and nightlife too 17:29:36 <decause> #link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPYX8o-m19s 17:29:52 <decause> this is a trailer that was created by tatica after the event was concluded 17:30:18 <decause> it is super well done, and I've already talked to mattdm about supporting more storytelling efforts like tatica's for future FUDCon/FLOCK events 17:30:21 <decause> tatica++ 17:30:21 <zodbot> decause: Karma for tatica changed to 9 (for the f22 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 17:30:33 <tatica> :* 17:30:47 <decause> another thing that came out of the workshop discussions was information about FLISOL 17:31:01 <decause> FLISOL is massive in LATAM, could be BIG opportunity for Fedora (276 events, 75K participants nationwide) 17:31:41 <decause> FLISOL is like software freedom day, where participants hold installfests and demos, all promoting FOSS 17:32:17 <decause> there are members of the core organizing team from FUDCon, who also help with FLISOL, that I will be working with to help have higher visibility for Fedora for next year's event 17:32:31 <decause> #link http://flisol.info/ 17:33:20 <decause> There were a number of specific ideas/recommendations for FUDCon in the future that came from the workshop, that will also be included in my blog post 17:33:47 <decause> in the meantime, you can follow-up on tatica's blogpost here: 17:33:56 <decause> #link http://tatica.org/en/2015/09/18/fudcon-review-plans/ 17:34:00 <decause> tatica++ 17:34:29 <decause> here is a quick tl;dr list: 17:34:48 <decause> 1) create more badges for translation of content to/from spanish 17:35:04 <decause> 2) create more latam specific widgets/hubs on Fedora Hubs 17:35:18 <decause> (shout-out robyduck for his Hubs session) 17:35:19 <decause> robyduck++ 17:36:10 <decause> there were specific recommendations on session ideas and programing, which are included in the agenda from today: 17:36:19 <decause> #link http://etherpad.osuosl.org/fedora-council-092115 17:37:10 <decause> all-in-all LATAM was very happy to see Fedora Leadersihp and Council representation at FUDCon this year, and I have never felt more welcome anywhere I've been. 17:37:55 <decause> I will continue working with the core organizers there, and will plan on representing there in the future 17:38:02 <decause> so then 17:38:20 <decause> that is the official business I had for today 17:38:32 <decause> let's open the floor 17:38:41 <decause> #topic Open Floor 17:39:07 <decause> does anyone have anything they'd like to bring? 17:39:27 <decause> I know 23 beta related activity has absorbed much of the cycles 17:39:28 <jkurik> decause: thanks for the descriptive report, looks like it was a great event 17:40:03 <jkurik> 23 beta should be ready for the release tomorrow 17:40:13 <decause> jkurik: excelllent news! 17:40:15 <decause> :) 17:40:41 * jkurik has nothing for open floor 17:40:47 <decause> I'll give it another 5 minutes or so 17:42:00 <decause> anyone else have any business for Open Floor? 17:42:40 <decause> going once 17:42:43 * tatica quite happy with the resume 17:42:53 <decause> going twice 17:43:00 <decause> going thrice 17:43:15 <decause> alright, I think it's safe to call it for today 17:43:44 <decause> thank you for the folks who could be here, and thank you to the folks who are not for making sure all the 23 beta things are on track :) 17:43:55 <decause> #endmeeting
