18:03:22 <decauseWiTNYC> my nick is still NYC, because I'm still in NYC due to blizzard-pocalypse
18:03:28 <decauseWiTNYC> 2nd largest blizzard in NYC history
18:03:39 <mattdm> oh yeah that.
18:03:46 <mattdm> nice and sunny up in MA :)
18:03:47 <decauseWiTNYC> flights are backed up, but I'll be returning to Raleigh on Wednesday
18:03:57 <decauseWiTNYC> just in time to fly out to FOSDEm on Thurs ;)
18:04:22 <mattdm> no rest for the council :)
18:04:26 <mattdm> okay, so....
18:04:32 <mattdm> #topic Today's Agenda
18:05:19 <mattdm> #info This is a "tickets and ongoing" meeting. While we strive to not be meeting-driven, a monthly checkin like this helps make sure we are not dropping important items on the floor
18:05:40 <mattdm> #info something is wrong with my spacebar, which is severely slowing my typing
18:05:53 <mattdm> I was looking through open tickets
18:06:21 <mattdm> and most of them currently happen to _also_ be no rest for decauseWiTNYC  :)
18:06:32 <mattdm> Specifically:
18:06:34 <decauseWiTNYC> nod nod nod
18:06:49 <decauseWiTNYC> I do have some good updates for some of them though
18:06:53 <mattdm> #info 1. Fedora Budget update
18:07:09 <mattdm> #info 2. EMEA FAD at DevConf.cz
18:07:23 <mattdm> #info 3. FUDCon APAC... any update?
18:07:33 <mattdm> anything else?
18:07:55 <decauseWiTNYC> mattdm: Periodic User/Contributor Survey
18:08:33 <mattdm> #info 4. user/contributor survey
18:08:39 <decauseWiTNYC> lgtm
18:08:44 <decauseWiTNYC> start with 1
18:08:48 <mattdm> decauseWiTNYC: in this case, specifically diversity focused, yeah?
18:09:38 <decauseWiTNYC> mattdm: yes, I think that one survey which also includes demographics is likely the way to go, but we haven't gotten all the way through getting the "pool" of questions
18:10:09 <mattdm> k.
18:10:10 <mattdm> #topic 1. Fedora Budget update
18:10:13 <decauseWiTNYC> tatica (who sends her regrets, she just had a loss in her family and will not here this week) has done an excellent job brainstorming demographic questions
18:10:25 <decauseWiTNYC> oop, missed the topic switch
18:10:31 <decauseWiTNYC> so, For budget
18:10:37 <mattdm> yeah sorry. we'll come back to that :)
18:10:40 <mattdm> #link https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/43
18:11:14 <decauseWiTNYC> the budget site itself is scheduled as a February action for CommOps team
18:11:26 <decauseWiTNYC> this week we're hoping to round out all of our "Year in Review" posts
18:12:07 <mattdm> decauseWiTNYC: cool. Let's revisit when the site is ready, then?
18:12:20 <mattdm> ++ to commops team for the year in review stuff!
18:12:20 <decauseWiTNYC> #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-commops/ticket/11
18:12:40 <mattdm> #topic EMEA FAD at DevConf.cz
18:12:41 <decauseWiTNYC> mattdm: we're about to Greenlight the FamNA YiR, and mktg is really close too
18:13:04 <mattdm> i switched topics on you again :)
18:13:21 <decauseWiTNYC> :P
18:13:24 <decauseWiTNYC> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DevConf_2016#EMEA_Ambassadors_Meetup
18:13:27 <mattdm> AIUI this is going ahead. Are there any related budget requests?
18:13:41 <mattdm> ooh thanks for the link.
18:13:52 <decauseWiTNYC> mattdm: not that I can see so far. The EMEA ambassador meeting seemed to have their own travel being covered
18:14:20 <mattdm> okay cool. that was my main question.
18:14:25 <mattdm> anyone else have anything here?
18:14:32 <decauseWiTNYC> I will check in with mitzi
18:14:45 <mattdm> decauseWiTNYC: right now, or in general?
18:14:48 <decauseWiTNYC> #action decause check in with mitzi about accomodations for DevConf.cz meeting
18:15:04 <decauseWiTNYC> mattdm: sesivany said we had conference rooms book on site
18:15:16 <langdon> mattdm, personally.. i am a little lost
18:15:17 <decauseWiTNYC> *booked
18:16:15 <decauseWiTNYC> langdon: the original budget FAD for EMEA was not approved in time for accomodations to be booked, so we alternatively proposed to have a meetup at DevConf.cz to discuss budget and FY17 things as a replacement for budapest
18:16:38 <robyduck> FYI EMEA ambassadors have a dedicated ticket for all: https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/546
18:16:46 <mattdm> robyduck: thanks!
18:16:52 <decauseWiTNYC> robyduck++
18:16:53 <langdon> decauseWiTNYC, isn't that on the calendar for friday of devconf already?
18:16:53 <mattdm> langdon: less lost now? :)
18:17:17 <decauseWiTNYC> #info  Date: Fri-Sun 5-7 February, 2016
18:17:20 <decauseWiTNYC> err
18:17:25 <langdon> mattdm, meh.. maybe? its all the topic switches :)
18:18:19 <decauseWiTNYC> langdon: I will double check with sesivany about the conference room booking
18:18:42 <langdon> decauseWiTNYC, ohh.. no. .that was a council dinner.. i don't think there is a meeting room
18:18:57 <mattdm> now I'm lost :)
18:19:28 <langdon> mattdm, http://imgur.com/hnMG99D
18:19:34 <jkurik> langdon: the council dinner starts on Friday 5th, at 7PM
18:19:52 <langdon> jkurik, ack.. i thought that was the thing decauseWiTNYC was talking about.. but perhaps not
18:20:18 <mattdm> langdon: nope. he's talking about a separate thing for EMEA ambassadors
18:20:25 <mattdm> ready for next topic?
18:20:29 <langdon> mattdm, yeah.. ok.. i think i got it now
18:20:37 <langdon> im good.. it can wash over me :)
18:20:37 <decauseWiTNYC> roger roger
18:20:48 <jkurik> as far as I know sesivany is organizing EMEA ambassadors meeting during the day
18:21:02 <decauseWiTNYC> jkurik: agreed
18:21:21 <mattdm> #topic FUDCon APAC... any update?
18:21:30 <mattdm> #link https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/49
18:21:54 * decauseWiTNYC digs for ML link
18:22:11 <mattdm> From the ticket, this one basically seems to have been left hanging with a lot of uncertainty over... I guess, unity of ambassadors in APAC

18:23:09 <decauseWiTNYC> FAMSCo just had it's first meeting last week, and this should have been a topic of discussion
18:23:26 <decauseWiTNYC> I will circle back with them and see if we've covered ground (I wasn't at the first meeting)
18:23:51 <mattdm> decauseWiTNYC: okay, thanks
18:24:08 <mattdm> bring it to the council ticket if action is needed before after devconf?
18:24:17 <mattdm> ("before after" is clear, right?")
18:24:28 <decauseWiTNYC> clear
18:24:45 <decauseWiTNYC> #action decause follow-up with FAMSCo about APAC bid
18:25:16 <mattdm> cool thanks!
18:25:20 <mattdm> okay, so...
18:25:22 <decauseWiTNYC> nod nod nod
18:25:29 <mattdm> #topic user/contributor survey
18:26:01 <decauseWiTNYC> mattdm has seen the early back-and-forth, but tatica/me/him have been knocking around a pool of questions for our annual survey
18:26:09 <mattdm> First, condolences to tatica on her family loss
18:26:19 <decauseWiTNYC> yes, indeed :(
18:26:34 <decauseWiTNYC> she will be joining us next week with any luck
18:26:50 <mattdm> okay, so, let's postpone this until then?
18:26:57 <decauseWiTNYC> yeah, that is fair
18:27:09 <mattdm> #info tune in next week....
18:27:12 <mattdm> #topic next week
18:27:17 <mattdm> which brings me to this :)

18:27:53 * langdon notes, as always, confused on tzs.. but may be on a plane during next mtg too ..
18:27:53 <decauseWiTNYC> nod nod nod
