18:02:25 <mattdm> there was no further discussion on the apac fad that I saw
18:02:34 <mattdm> no -1s, and we just got the needed +1s

18:03:02 <mattdm> #agreed APAC FAD 2015 is approved by lazy consensus

18:03:29 <mattdm> the only thing I have is -- who do we want to ask for a subproject status?
18:03:31 <langdon> mattdm, i was waiting for you comment.. then i got distracted
18:03:35 <mattdm> decause good call
18:03:39 <mattdm> langdon :)
18:03:51 <mattdm> decause: do you have that on your plate?
18:04:07 <decause> mattdm: yeah, it is part of the regional proposal
18:04:11 <mattdm> decause++
18:04:11 <zodbot> mattdm: Karma for decause changed to 9 (for the f23 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
18:04:13 <decause> there is a missing /me in there
18:04:19 <decause> :P
18:04:32 <mattdm> #info decause will connect with EMEA about that budget FAD
18:04:39 <mattdm> any other topics?
18:04:41 <decause> #action decause follow-up on EMEA budget planning FAD
18:05:00 <decause> mattdm: the Python3 Porting sprint was quite active :)
18:05:08 <decause> channel was hopping
18:05:14 <decause> there was a meeting log taken
18:05:16 <mattdm> nice.
18:05:31 <mattdm> langdon, how's the world of Modularization?
18:05:31 <decause> post-mortem is in progress with mstuchil, with support from commops
18:05:40 <langdon> meh
18:05:56 <langdon> i think i finally have some stuff to write.. lots of distracting things
18:06:18 <mattdm> langdon: okay. then I won't ask you to present on it next week :)
18:06:31 <mattdm> #topic random open floor discussion
18:06:42 * mattdm notes that we don't seem to have a lot of topics
18:06:44 <langdon> mattdm, no.. but a deadline would be good.. how about after t-day?
18:07:04 <mattdm> langdon: yes. do you want Nov 30 or Dec 7?
18:07:16 * langdon checks calendar
18:07:32 <jwb> decause: do you think we can get an update from OSAS in general?
18:07:42 <langdon> mattdm, 12.7 please
18:07:59 <langdon> not sure i will be around on the monday..
18:08:00 <decause> jwb: on the other community projects?
18:08:07 <langdon> might still be eating leftovers
18:08:18 <mattdm> langdon sounds good :)
18:08:31 <jwb> decause: was thinking more on OSAS+fedora.  seems there have been some changes recently.  maybe an update on that?
18:08:32 <mattdm> #info langdon to present on Fedora Modularization on December 7th
18:08:54 <mattdm> jwb++
18:08:54 <zodbot> mattdm: Karma for jwboyer changed to 1 (for the f23 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
18:09:21 <mattdm> decause: go ahead and change #topic if you like :)
18:09:30 <jkurik> FYI: tomorrow we are going to start Elections: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections
18:09:32 <jkurik> - FESCo (Engineering) (5 seats)
18:09:33 <jkurik> - Fedora Council (1 seat)
18:09:35 <jkurik> - Env and Stacks (4 seats)
18:09:36 <jkurik> - FAmSCo (7 seats)
18:09:37 <decause> jwb: There is an update on FLOCK planning which is new, but otherwise I feel like we'd be repeating a bunch of the regional budget process things, without having the interesting bit (did we get the budget we asked for)
18:10:05 <mattdm> #info jkurik notes that the election cycle starts tomorrow
18:10:09 <jkurik> credits goes to bee2502 for her help with Wiki pages
18:10:14 <jwb> decause: um.. ok?  but i mean, even last week we had a meeting on flock and spot pointed out that you were now the main contact for it
18:10:18 <decause> jwb: which date would this be for prospectively?
18:10:20 <jwb> decause: which was... news.
18:10:32 <decause> jwb: that is news for me too actually... :P
18:10:36 <jwb> decause: nov 30?  or whenever is appropriate.
18:10:54 <decause> jwb: Jen Madriaga is the point on logistics now (see the intro email to planning list today)
18:11:01 <jwb> yeah, i saw that
18:11:13 <decause> I suppose I'm the common communication point tho, sure :)
18:11:24 * decause is happy to be the official go-between
18:11:56 <decause> jwb: 11/30 is going to be busy for me (I'm driving a moving van to Raleigh)
18:11:57 <mattdm> I met with Jen a little bit at LISA. Mostly filled her in on background; she's off to another conference in Spain now.
18:12:10 <mattdm> plan to talk to her about next steps when she gets back from that
18:12:39 <decause> mattdm: yeah, jmagriaga moves mountains and is a super-pro, she's gonna be awesome to work with
18:12:50 <decause> starting with the bids...
18:12:58 <decause> which are mostly from places in France
18:13:12 <decause> which, all things considered, would be kinda "back-burner" likely for some of our friends there
18:13:15 <decause> :/
18:13:16 <jwb> uh
18:13:26 <jwb> the bids from france have been evaluated.  they were all over budget
18:13:35 <decause> jwb: well, that makes it easier then
18:13:42 <decause> I think we need to put out a proper round #2 call
18:13:44 * langdon notes he had good interactions with jen at a couple cons as well
18:13:57 * decause is on this, but this is his first rodeo, so could use some guidance
18:14:49 <jwb> decause: on budget things, has there been a shift in owner?
18:15:27 <decause> s/Ruth/jzb
18:15:38 <decause> I mean
18:15:42 <jwb> decause: see... that's kind of important too
18:15:45 <mattdm> so that's kinda big news, as people are used to going to ruth for things
18:15:46 <decause> it's like, a team effort still I spose
18:15:51 <jwb> which is why i said an update would OSAS news would be good
18:16:21 <decause> jwb: the dust is still settling, we are still mid-changes, and I jzb though here now, is still probably in the arctic north
18:16:33 <jwb> decause: sure, team effort.  except i'm pretty sure suehle doesn't want to be the contact point for something she doesn't own.  and people are going to still bug her if nobody says otherwise
18:16:54 <decause> jwb: agreed, but I don't know what the transition looks like yet
18:16:55 <mattdm> #info Joe Brockmeier (jzb) now responsible for Fedora community budget through OSAS (handoff from Ruth Suehle (rsuehle))
18:17:08 <decause> everyone just piling onto jzb and stopping cc'ing ruth probably won't work either
18:17:15 <suehle> I am in the process of shifting this to jzb. He's been out of town, and it's budget season all around, so we haven't had a chance to get together for me to explain all the things.
18:17:16 <decause> I need to get the lay of the land still
18:17:26 <suehle> Which is why I've still been handling things for the moment and have not made such an announcement.
18:17:28 <decause> I had a 1x1 with jzb last week which was the first I heard
18:17:31 <mattdm> suehle++
18:17:31 <zodbot> mattdm: Karma for rsuehle changed to 1 (for the f23 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
18:17:38 <decause> I def wanna update, I just need some time to know how it goes
18:17:52 <mattdm> suehle thank you so much again for all the work you do and have done!
18:18:54 <rdieter> kudos, yes
18:18:58 <rdieter> suehle++
18:18:58 <zodbot> rdieter: Karma for rsuehle changed to 2 (for the f23 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
18:19:17 <suehle> No problem. :) I wasn't really watching this meeting until I got the @ alert. Is there a greater context/question I can help with?
18:19:29 * jzb lurks
18:19:44 <mattdm> suehle: general update. but, specifically, we're worried about flock and lack of viable bids
18:19:55 <suehle> Valid concern.
18:20:14 <suehle> I would toss out there whether it's worth considering a second year in the US where we had four viable bids last year.
18:20:33 <suehle> I suspect not a popular choice among the EMEA folks, but... at the moment, we're short on options.
18:20:39 <decause> a second call for bids is def a good idea
18:20:49 <rdieter> definitely worth considering, if there no viable bids otherwise
18:20:50 <decause> I'll talk with magazine/commblog who can promote it
18:21:15 <decause> #action decause follow-up with Magazine/Commblog to put out a second bid for FLOCK
18:21:19 <suehle> I've said a few times on the list that I consider the bid process open until somebody shows up with a workable plan.
18:21:22 <decause> #undo
18:21:22 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: ACTION by decause at 18:21:15 : decause follow-up with Magazine/Commblog to put out a second bid for FLOCK
18:21:30 <decause> #remove
18:21:32 <mattdm> suehle: makes sense
18:21:43 <decause> #action decause follow-up with Magazine/Commblog to put out a second bid call
18:22:02 <suehle> Jen is also currently traveling but may have some good ideas.
18:22:38 <mattdm> suehle: Is there any chance of asking for additional budget, still?
18:23:08 <suehle> Budget requests have already gone in. That may be up to the Council and how it wants to distribute budget.
18:23:35 <suehle> I believe what we agreed when I last talked to you all is that when it came down, I'd tell you the total lump and let the Council divide it. :)
18:23:43 <mattdm> suehle: *nod*
18:24:42 <mattdm> okay, so, I guess at this point, remy's gonna do those actions, and we'll see what ideas Jen has when she gets back from spain
18:25:08 <decause> I'm going to cc the flock planning list on this stuff, to help gather the wisdom of the ancients
18:25:35 <decause> ancients meaning anyone who has already done this before
18:25:36 <decause> :P
18:25:46 * langdon wonders who decause is calling "old"
18:25:56 * decause wonders too
18:25:58 <decause> decause--
18:25:59 <decause> :P
18:26:03 <mattdm> okay then :)
18:26:09 <jzb> langdon: you, he's calling you old. ;-)
18:26:22 <langdon> jzb, ahh.. right.. thanks.. and .. accurate..
18:26:23 <mattdm> any other discussion topics for today?
18:26:31 <jzb> langdon: it certainly couldn't be me
18:26:35 * langdon notes.. apparently langdon's age
18:27:17 <langdon> i got nothing.. at least.. nothing serious
18:27:20 <mattdm> jzb: any notes on polar bears?
18:27:27 <jzb> mattdm: so many :-)
18:27:30 * decause will be unable to present (or attend) at 11/30 meeting, in case folks missed that
18:27:30 <jwb> ?
18:28:01 <decause> jwb: jzb was/is on vacation in the arctic north
18:28:12 <jzb> sadly, was
18:28:15 <jwb> decause: i thought you were joking earlier when you said that
18:28:20 <mattdm> decause: since langdon will present Dec. 7, Nov 30 will be tickets/ongoing
18:28:23 <jwb> jzb: sounds like a great trip to have taken though
18:28:31 <decause> mattdm: nod nod
18:28:35 <jzb> jwb: http://dissociatedpress.net/polar-madness-bears-everywhere/
18:29:12 <mattdm> nice :)
18:29:31 <jwb> neat!
18:29:51 <mattdm> okay, so, if no one has anything else, I'm going to endmeeting and get some lunch :)
