20:28:03 <nmilosev> Any events happening near you? Would you like to report from some event that you've been to?
20:28:15 <mitzie> Thanks for approving my two tickets for fosdem!
20:29:06 <nmilosev> mitzie, please write if the budget is ok for #643 so I don't have to ping you later :)
20:29:50 <Kohane> nmilosev: I don't know if there's any event near my place. Should I report for the Novi Sad Release Party?
20:30:13 <mitzie> Yes there is no problem with that. By the way we can sponsor one more person to come to FOSDEM
20:30:25 <nmilosev> Kohane, I did it on the last meeting :) But you can, if you want to.
20:30:31 <nmilosev> mitzie, I'll note this
20:30:48 <nmilosev> #info mitzie confirmed the budget is ok for #643
20:31:09 <Kohane> Oh...
20:31:33 <Kohane> I'd like to but I don't know how, it's the first time I have to report, sorry.
20:32:01 <nmilosev> #info Please contact mitzie regarding going to FOSDEM (sponsorship available for one ambassador)
20:32:14 <nmilosev> (I hope that's ok)
20:32:18 <ardian> Might be a good idea to post on the mailing list as well
20:32:53 <nmilosev> It's gonna be in the meeting minutes, but yeah mitzie should write about this to the ML
20:32:53 * lupinix cannot attend, first half of february means always high workload @university :(
20:33:15 <Kohane> ardian: agree
20:33:47 <mitzie> Ardian: sure
20:33:51 <nmilosev> lupinix, same here
20:34:08 <nmilosev> #action mitzie to write to the ML about sponsorship for FOSDEM
20:34:23 <nmilosev> Anyone has something to add regarding events?
20:34:31 <lupinix> nothing else here
20:34:43 <Kohane> Not from my side.
20:35:16 <nmilosev> Let's move on then

20:36:03 <nmilosev> mitzie, any update on this?
20:36:22 <nmilosev> Maybe we should write to the mentioned thread in the announcements about this
20:38:06 <Kohane> yes, I think so. We should write in the thread
20:39:10 <nmilosev> I'll just re-action it because mitzie isn't here at the moment
20:39:23 <nmilosev> #action mitzie to contact sesivany about producing Fedora DVD sleeves
20:39:34 <nmilosev> that's all for the actions from the last meeting
20:39:44 <nmilosev> #topic Open Floor
20:39:48 <nmilosev> Anything goes here.
20:40:03 <nmilosev> Happy New Year to everyone :) wish you all the very best
20:40:03 <Kohane> !
20:40:07 <nmilosev> go Kohane
20:40:35 <Kohane> It's something that I would like to see if it's possible to solve somehow.
20:41:33 <Kohane> There's a person in the Fedora Telegram group for Russian speakers who's using this group to discuss politics and air his opinions on the matter. All this unrelated to Fedora and Open Source
20:42:20 <Kohane> Also, he's has been arguing with other Fedorians who would prefer to leave politics outside the group.
20:42:24 <nmilosev> This is Fedora Telegram group for Russia, not the main Fedora group?
20:42:32 <Kohane> Is there anything possible to do on this?
20:42:51 <Kohane> Yes, for Russian speakers, not the general group
20:43:03 <giannisk> The Fedora Telegram groups are not officially part of the Fedora Project AFAIK, however they're being moderated by community members.
20:43:11 <nmilosev> I see the group listed on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Telegram
20:43:18 <Kohane> yes
20:43:19 <giannisk> Kohane: Best bet is to contact that particular group's admin.
20:43:22 <nmilosev> But there is no one listed as moderator
20:43:28 <ardian> Kohane, I don't think we can do something about it, since Telegram is not really officially a communication channel
20:43:48 <ardian> from Fedoraproject
20:43:54 <Kohane> giannisk: that's the problem, he's admin there
20:43:59 <nmilosev> oh
20:44:13 <Kohane> He even banned some members because disagreed with him
20:44:24 <ardian> Kohane, best would be to contact Jiri, I guess.
20:44:26 <mitzie> I think it's sessivany or jflory7
20:44:37 <nmilosev> +1
20:44:42 <giannisk> Kohane: Well, not much you can do I guess, apart from starting another group. Those channels are not part of the Fedora Project.
20:45:16 <Kohane> Okay. I thought that was little to do, but I wanted to be sure.
20:45:31 <Kohane> ardian: contact Jiri?
20:45:54 <nmilosev> Jiri is sessivany
20:45:58 <giannisk> If that person does not behave properly, and most of the people disagree with him, feel free to open a new group.
20:46:01 <Kohane> Ah
20:46:08 <Kohane> Okay.
20:47:33 <nmilosev> It's difficult because anyone can start a group and add it to the list on the wiki :/
20:47:34 <Kohane> Fair enough. Thank you for the advises. :)
20:47:53 <Kohane> What is difficult, starting a new group?
20:48:11 <nmilosev> Nah, finding someone to moderate it
20:48:11 <ardian> Actually I have lost track of that group, too active for me :P
20:48:20 <Kohane> LOL
20:48:46 <nmilosev> Contact sessivany, he will know what to do :)
20:48:51 <nmilosev> eof?
20:48:54 <Kohane> Okay, thank you
20:48:57 <Kohane> Yes, EOF
20:49:05 <nmilosev> Anyone else?
20:49:20 <ardian> nmilosev, thanks for charing
20:49:27 <ardian> nmilosev++
20:49:36 <Kohane> nmilosev++
20:49:36 <nmilosev> If not I will be ending the meeting in three (3) minutes.
20:49:37 <ardian> .thank nmilosev
20:49:37 <zodbot> ardian thinks nmilosev is awesome and is happy they are helping! (Please don't forget to nmilosev++ also)
20:49:41 <nmilosev> Thanks all for being here :)
20:49:55 <Kohane> Thanks to you for chairing!
20:50:17 <mitzie> If I recall correctly people have been kicked in the past, so if it's a big deal and he doesn't calm down most likely he will be kicked if you talk to an admin
20:50:31 <nmilosev> mitzie, he is the admin :D
20:50:43 <mitzie> Aggrrr there is delay
20:52:25 <ardian> Good night everyone, see you in two weeks!
