02:02:53 <award3535> evening paradoxguitarist
02:03:02 <juggler[m]> o/ paradox
02:03:38 <juggler[m]> Looks like we have a lot on the docket tonight...shall I start?
02:03:57 <award3535> yes
02:04:13 <award3535> lets roll
02:04:26 <juggler[m]> anyone know if Alex will be attending?
02:04:41 <juggler[m]> #topic === Announcements ===
02:04:51 <award3535> I have one annoucement
02:04:52 <juggler[m]> Any announcements all?
02:05:24 <award3535> I have one announcement
02:05:53 <award3535> #info  Information that every ambassador needs to become familiar with. Please read the information contained in the following links.
02:05:54 <award3535> https://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-project/project/objectives.html
02:05:54 <award3535> https://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-project/project/orgchart.html
02:05:54 <award3535> https://docs.fedoraproject.org/fedora-project/subprojects/mindshare/mindshare.html
02:05:54 <award3535> In the near future the way we conduct business will be changing. There will be a period of time where Ambassadors can contribute to the mindshare guidance and documentation. Once that period is over and the rules have been set (target date of 1 June 2018) mindshare will be the way we conduct all business for events. There will be more information to follow from the mindshare committee.
02:06:20 <award3535> #eof
02:06:49 <award3535> every ambassador really needs to get connected with the above information
02:07:21 <award3535> thats all I have
02:07:40 <steelaworkn> So, is this going to be a one time event to write bi-laws or someting to that affect
02:07:51 <juggler[m]> excellent, thank you for that information award3535
02:07:59 <award3535> steelaworkin more or less yes
02:08:36 <award3535> my event took a beating and since it is not in stone yet the process will change shortly
02:09:57 <juggler[m]> any additional announcements from others?
02:10:13 <steelaworkn> I looked back 5 years on my event and realized the money was pouring out like crazy
02:10:50 <award3535> steelaworkn, that is exactly why the things are going to change
02:11:43 <award3535> we are not going to attend events just because we have always been there, you will have to really sell your case to the committee to get funding in the near future
02:12:46 <award3535> juggler(m) lets move onto the tickets so we can get aleast some of the votes needed to push the event through
02:13:19 <juggler[m]> sure
02:13:37 <juggler[m]> (skipping over Action Items)

02:14:34 <juggler[m]> Any updates on the reimbursements for Ambassadors River and Acosta?
02:14:37 <juggler[m]> correction: Rivera
02:15:10 <award3535> juggler(m) I will process them in the next day or two, had to wait for the go ahead (FY19 budget)
02:15:55 <juggler[m]> we look forward to the reimbursement in high anticipation. need to pay this off. thank you!
02:16:05 <juggler[m]> #link https://pagure.io/ambassadors-na/tasks/issue/191
02:17:01 <award3535> juggler(m) you can keep this ticket open until I reimburse you both
02:17:06 <juggler[m]> Regarding this issue, is there someone we could talk to about approving the reports still in a holding pattern at: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org
02:17:49 <juggler[m]> Historically, jflory7 assisted us with this. Not sure if he's still the go-to person for follow-up.
02:18:00 <juggler[m]> correction jwf
02:18:23 <award3535> that's out of my hands, but we can push the button with bex to see if this can be finished. jwf is not involved in that area any more
02:18:45 <juggler[m]> #action award3535 To follow up on Reimbursements 448 and 449
02:19:06 <award3535> juggler(m) lets move to ticket 192 and 194
02:19:44 <juggler[m]> #action lajuggler To follow up on Community Blog reports w/ bex
02:20:12 <juggler[m]> #link https://pagure.io/ambassadors-na/tasks/issue/191
02:20:25 <juggler[m]> should we leave this one still pending too?
02:20:37 <award3535> juggler(m) yes
02:20:45 <juggler[m]> excellent
02:20:53 <juggler[m]> #link https://pagure.io/ambassadors-na/tasks/issue/192
02:21:43 <award3535> steelaworkn, this is your ticket
02:22:05 <juggler[m]> tap tap tap :)
02:22:08 <steelaworkn> Not sure what to say hear.  I reduced the cost down...
02:22:18 <steelaworkn> to 600 bucks
02:22:26 <paradoxguitarist> +1 for me. Travel and shipping are pretty cheap to support an event.
02:22:39 <steelaworkn> so we will be way under budget
02:22:47 <paradoxguitarist> the swag line should not be included
02:22:57 <award3535> yes, we need to speak about budget, and that it was reworked to fit the mindshare guide
02:22:59 <paradoxguitarist> since we're not ordering swag for this event.
02:23:32 <steelaworkn> just a little bit will do if anyone can spar a bit
02:23:32 <award3535> Swag was ordered centrally and will be from now on by the mindshare committee conops
02:23:36 <paradoxguitarist> I'm just shipping you what I have right steelaworkn ?
02:23:44 <steelaworkn> Ok.
02:24:13 <award3535> steelaworkn also get ahold of nb and kk4ewt for other items if needed
02:24:14 <steelaworkn> I'm not planning on giving it away willi-nilli this year
02:24:44 <juggler[m]> do I need to ship the box to Paradox, or will there be a delivery one way or the other?
02:24:50 <paradoxguitarist> award3535: so they're shipping swag for the event or still shipping out to regional areas?
02:24:58 <award3535> so since we already have a +1 from PG, you have one from me as well
02:25:12 <paradoxguitarist> +1 from nb in the ticket comments
02:25:24 <steelaworkn> I saw that...
02:25:25 <juggler[m]> +1
02:25:37 <award3535> paradoxguitarist, from what I was told that swag will also be shipped from a central location
02:26:01 <paradoxguitarist> award3535: Should we ship the event boxes there as well?
02:26:05 <award3535> regions are essentially going away other than for meetings in the time zones
02:26:30 <award3535> paradoxguitarist until otherwise told yes, ship the event box
02:27:12 <paradoxguitarist> I mean, should we ship the event boxes to the central location where the swag will be?
02:27:28 <steelaworkn> so, can the event box be sent to my address?
02:27:43 <paradoxguitarist> Yes
02:27:45 <award3535> paradoxguitarist not yet, keep the box until otherwise told
02:27:49 <paradoxguitarist> ok
02:28:04 <award3535> but you will need to ship the box to LFNW
02:28:20 <juggler[m]> you = ?
02:28:28 <paradoxguitarist> Is mindshare going to ship swag, or do I need to send what I have?
02:28:48 <paradoxguitarist> juggler[m]: the answer will depend on who.
02:29:28 <juggler[m]> ah
02:30:09 <juggler[m]> any additional info on 192?
02:30:19 <juggler[m]> or recommended actions for 192?
02:30:23 <award3535> paradoxguitarist, mindshare will not begin until everything is approved and after 1 Jun,
02:30:24 <steelaworkn> I didnt' realize sending Fedora stuff to an event was the norm..
02:30:38 <paradoxguitarist> actually, can I can ship you a box of swag juggler with print outs of the shipping lables and you ship them to steelaworkn ?
02:30:40 <steelaworkn> I thought I would have to haul it
02:30:56 <paradoxguitarist> you would just drop it off at a UPS.
02:31:04 <award3535> steelaworkn its up to you if you want to haul the box or not
02:31:08 <juggler[m]> Paradox sounds good
02:31:28 <paradoxguitarist> Ok, I'll get that done this week.
02:31:41 <paradoxguitarist> steelaworkn: is that ok with you?
02:31:47 <award3535> juggler, then event still needs one more vote to carry through, you can email nb and kk4ewt to get another vote
02:31:47 <steelaworkn> I think it is better if I receive the Event Box and any Swag at my address....
02:31:56 <steelaworkn> ...then I can haul it up there
02:31:56 <juggler[m]> #action paradoxguitarist To ship swag box to juggler with shipping label printouts
02:32:16 <juggler[m]> #action lajuggler To ship event box to steelaworkin once the Swag and labels arrive
02:33:46 <award3535> juggler(m) I will email nb and kk4ewt to place another vote into the ticket, I believe it will carry since its been reworked, and might take a little more tweaking to get it in alignment
02:34:24 <steelaworkn> let me know how it should be tweaked
02:35:10 <award3535> steelaworkn, nb will probably give you some guidance as well once he sees the email.
02:35:22 <steelaworkn> ok
02:35:57 <award3535> juggler(m) lets move on to ticket 194
02:37:52 <juggler[m]> #action lajuggler email nb and kk4ewt to obtain another vote for 192
02:37:53 <juggler[m]> ...
02:37:54 <juggler[m]> hello hello? am I back?
02:38:22 <steelaworkn> I can see you loud and clear...
02:38:25 <award3535> juggler, I just emailed nb and kk4ewt
02:38:38 <juggler[m]> sorry about that folks...my Internet came back...
02:38:41 <juggler[m]> blip
02:38:45 <juggler[m]> #link https://pagure.io/ambassadors-na/tasks/issue/194
02:40:00 <award3535> this is kk4ewt and my event, I have reworked the issues in the ticket and worked the budget down to $900.00 for the event.
02:41:05 <award3535> we are asking for approval of the budget of 900.00, the booth is no charge and two additional ambassadors are traveling on their own expenses
02:41:51 <juggler[m]> wow, on their own expenses?
02:42:04 <award3535> Southeast linux Fest is the only regional event in the area and draws from as far north as Kentucky and far as south Florida
02:42:46 <award3535> juggler(m) their employers are paying for their travels for the event
02:43:02 <juggler[m]> ah
02:43:25 <award3535> so it makes it easy for us to have good coverage at the booth
02:43:49 <juggler[m]> award3535 any recommended actions for 194?
02:44:05 <award3535> +1 of course from me
02:44:46 <award3535> if we do not get all the votes needed tonight the next meeting for FAmNA east will cover the rest
02:45:01 <steelaworkn> I do like how some of your attendees are also going to be speaking
02:45:38 <award3535> steelaworkn that is the other part of the mindshare stuff that mattdm wants us ambassadors to do
02:45:58 <award3535> votes please?
02:46:03 <paradoxguitarist> +1  from me.
02:46:11 <award3535> steelaworkn?
02:46:15 <juggler[m]> +1 for 194 from me
02:46:26 <steelaworkn> Oh, I didn't know I got a vote  +1 from me
02:46:51 <award3535> thank you, I will get the remaining inquiries from the next meeting on the east coast
