20:22:12 <ardian> Any events you are attending, or have planned to do one ?
20:22:59 <sesivany> just release parties I think
20:23:10 <ardian> yes!
20:23:24 <sesivany> the series of conference ended for me last weekend.
20:23:33 <ardian> bee2502, how was PyCon CZ
20:23:41 <Kohane> I'd like to organise a release party here in Frankfurt but I don't know if there's anyone else willing to join.
20:24:26 <ardian> Kohane, I think bee2502 is in Berlin, not sure how far it's from Berlin to Frankfurt.

20:25:06 <zodbot> pkwesihanson: edgates 'Elijah Hanson' <pkwesihanson@yahoo.com>
20:25:10 <sesivany> quite far...
20:25:16 <bee2502> PyCon Cz was great ! We had a Fedora booth and mhronck(miro) had 3-D printed fedora and python sticks.
20:25:22 <Kohane> Yes, quite far...
20:25:37 <ardian> Kohane, Might be good to ask in the mailing list.
20:25:46 <Kohane> Like each city is in the other side of the country
20:25:53 <Kohane> Good idea
20:25:56 <ardian> bee2502, I saw those, and wanted to really have one :P
20:26:22 <Kohane> Oh, I saw them too, love them.
20:26:27 <bee2502> Many people were interested in Fedora booth, and I think we will have a lot of Fedora users in future due to PyCon Cz.
20:26:50 <bee2502> ardian kohane unfortunately they broke mid way, but nothing some tape couldn't fix.
20:27:03 <Kohane> Oh...
20:27:18 <Kohane> :-(
20:27:30 <bee2502> I really liked the colour combinations - especially the fedora blue was perfect.
20:27:43 <Kohane> yes, true
20:28:08 <ardian> I've seen a lot of social media pictures, it really caught peoples eyes.
20:28:21 <bee2502> Kohane, I will be interested in attending (depending on the dates, weekends are good for me). I can't help much with organizing unfortunately.
20:28:44 <Kohane> don't worry, I can do the organisation myself
20:28:56 <Kohane> But I'll be very happy if you can come
20:29:35 <bee2502> We can have one in Berlin too, cwickert is here and I know he organizes release parties at LUG here.
20:29:51 <ardian> Good luck with the event, make sure to write to the mailing list.
20:29:55 <ardian> Kohane, ^
20:30:01 <Kohane> Yes
20:30:09 <bee2502> !
20:30:13 <ardian> bee2502, yes
20:30:45 <bee2502> If anyone is interested, cfp for devconf ends this Friday https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/

20:31:58 <ardian> thanks bee2502
20:32:04 <Kohane> Last Sunday
20:32:14 <Kohane> Yes, I attended the OpenRheinRuhr
20:32:16 <mitzie> Sorry for being late, I was confused with the time change
20:32:26 <ardian> Kohane, are you a new ambassador ?
20:32:27 <Kohane> Happened to everyone, haha
20:32:39 <ardian> mitzie, it's very quite here, no worries.
20:32:49 <bee2502> Kohane is from LATAM, but she is in Frankfurt now
20:32:52 <bee2502> ardian ^
20:33:01 <Kohane> Thanks bee2502
20:33:08 <ardian> Ah great! Welcome
20:33:12 <Kohane> Thanks!
20:33:41 <ardian> Alright, if there isn't anything else to be discussed, we can go to the next topic.

20:34:44 * ardian gets the link

20:36:14 <ardian> We have three actions from giannisk who asked me to re-assign them again to him.
20:36:29 <ardian> #action giannisk reach out to kmrstiko, check the status of the remaining EMEA swag.
20:36:39 <ardian> #action giannisk reach out to mitzie, investigate whether we have budget to produce more swag.
20:36:54 <ardian> #action giannisk update the EMEA Trac, add a notice regarding deadline to submit requests in order to make things even more clear.
20:37:24 <ardian> And we have one from thunderbirdtr
20:37:37 <mitzie> by the way about the budget for swag, the numbers are in the spreadsheet
20:37:46 <sesivany> !
20:37:48 <ardian> Which I will re-assign it again.
20:37:52 <ardian> sesivany, yes
20:38:15 <sesivany> Are we producing DVDs this time?
20:38:28 <sesivany> Last time we agreed it'd be last time with F25.
20:38:38 <sesivany> Then we will discontinue them.
20:39:02 <Kohane> !
20:39:05 <sesivany> eof
20:39:15 <ardian> sesivany, I think we mentioned this in the last meeting, but we decided to talk about it in another meeting.
20:39:42 <ardian> I suggest we do that next meeting
20:39:45 <ardian> Kohane, yes
20:39:56 <Kohane> It's rather a question
20:40:15 <Kohane> If we don't produce DVDs, are we going to produce any other live media?
20:40:21 * ardian use ? for question :)
20:40:22 <Kohane> Or nothing at all?
20:40:30 <Kohane> Oh, okay
20:40:31 <Kohane> Sorry
20:40:37 <Kohane> I'm not used to IRC
20:40:52 <ardian> Kohane, USBs are expensive
20:40:57 <Kohane> I know
20:41:05 <Kohane> That's why I'm asking.
20:41:24 <ardian> So we don't really have a choice, maybe produce less DVDs for some of the regions that internet is slow
20:41:43 <sesivany> we can't produce less then 1000.
20:41:45 <ardian> But I think we should discuss that in another meeting, where more people are involved.
20:41:52 <sesivany> that's what we produced last time.
20:41:54 <Kohane> Oh, okay. That answers my qustion
20:41:58 <Kohane> question
20:42:18 <ardian> sesivany, was 1000 a problem for the budget?
20:42:23 <mitzie> I'm in favor of producing DVDs for one last time, they could be used in events like CCC and Fosdem, which are some of our major events and we expect a lot of people to come to our booth. Plus, we have already reserved the money for the F25 DVDs (~600$)
20:42:26 <mitzie> eof
20:42:43 <sesivany> ardian: not really, it was around $600, I think.
20:43:05 <ardian> mitzie++
20:43:24 <bee2502> mitzie++
20:43:24 <zodbot> bee2502: Karma for mitzie changed to 5 (for the f24 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
20:43:38 <ardian> I'm in favor to not stop producing DVDs, it's a really nice gift whenever you visit a booth.
20:43:50 <Kohane> yes, I agree
20:43:56 <ardian> Alright, let's stay on topic, and we can discuss this in another meeting.
20:44:02 <JacobCZ> hi
20:44:17 <ardian> sesivany, thanks for bringing it up
20:44:47 <ardian> #action thunderbirdtr contact bexelbie regarding the alternative reimbursement methods.
20:45:20 <ardian> Also the last one, was assigned to me
20:45:29 <ardian> #info ardian to write to the mailing list regarding the initiative to equip our Communities in EMEA
20:45:49 <ardian> Which I sent it an hour ago.
20:45:53 <Kohane> Yes, I saw your email
20:46:30 <ardian> That's it for the actions.
20:46:51 <ardian> #topic Open Floor
20:47:19 <ardian> Everything else can be discussed here now.
20:47:39 <JacobCZ> I'd like to say something
20:47:56 <ardian> Kohane, if you will be staying in Frankfurt, and need anything for a community there, you can add your name to the wiki.
20:47:59 <ardian> JacobCZ, yes please
20:48:14 <Kohane> Oh, yes, I'll be here.
20:48:25 <Kohane> Thanks
20:48:44 <JacobCZ> I'd just like to say that I'm sorry for not being active for quite a while now, because of school and family and I would like to officialy "resume" my ambassadorship. I hope that you will all accept me back :)
20:49:44 <ardian> JacobCZ, It's totally understandable, you are very welcome!
20:49:52 <ardian> Happy to see you are back.
20:49:55 <Kohane> That happens to everybody. I don't think is a real problem. Each of us contribute the best we can and in the ways we can.
20:49:55 <JacobCZ> ardian: thanks :)
20:50:57 <ardian> Yep!
20:51:27 <ardian> Feel free to look at the community blog https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org for updates
20:51:41 <ardian> And also the magazine fedoramagazine.org
20:53:16 <ardian> Alright if there isn't anything else to be discussed, I will end the meeting in 7min.
20:53:31 <ardian> Thank you everyone for participating.

20:59:40 <thunderbirdtr> ardian, we should re-start meeting since everyone just coming ?
20:59:42 <thunderbirdtr> :))
21:00:25 <ardian> thunderbirdtr, Actually, I have to leave now, and I'll send the meeting notes to the mailing list.
21:00:31 <JacobCZ> thunderbirdtr: haha, that actually sounds like a reasonable idea :D
21:00:40 <thunderbirdtr> JacobCZ, +1 :)
21:00:45 <thunderbirdtr> ardian, I see of course
21:00:47 <thunderbirdtr> time passed*
21:01:14 <nmilosev> Sorry guys, it's really confusing with time changes
21:01:17 <ardian> I mean we went through the topics, so we have logs for people who couldn't attend.
21:01:18 <nmilosev> :(
21:01:28 <nmilosev> I'll make sure to read the log
21:01:38 <ardian> nmilosev, that's why I only look at UTC, it's always the same
21:01:53 <thunderbirdtr> nmilosev, I'm GMT +3 now* that's just changed entire hours for me :)
21:01:54 <ardian> I kinda mentioned this issue in the last meeting
21:02:02 <thunderbirdtr> ardian, yes you did*
21:02:13 <ardian> but next time we should mentioned it in the email I guess.
21:02:31 <Kohane> yes, I think is a good idea ardian
21:03:16 <ardian> Thank you everyone again, see you in two weeks!
21:03:22 <thunderbirdtr> ardian, thank you !
21:03:25 <thunderbirdtr> Good night* !
