19:10:05 <Rathann> nope
19:10:19 <jonatoni> Great, let's move to the next topic :)
19:10:21 <jonatoni> #topic Events
19:10:28 <jonatoni> Any events happening near you? Would you like to report from some event that you've been to?
19:11:06 <Rathann> not yet, but ask me in two weeks ;)
19:11:13 * Rathann is going to DevConf.cz
19:11:20 <thunderbirdtr> nope from me too
19:11:25 <thunderbirdtr> and good luck at DevConf.cz
19:11:34 <jonatoni> Rathann: oh that's great, I will be there as well :)
19:11:41 <jonatoni> will you have a talk?
19:11:57 <Rathann> no, I missed the CFP deadline
19:12:06 <Rathann> so, just visiting
19:12:33 <jonatoni> Rathann: thunderbirdtr: will any of you be at FOSDEM?
19:13:22 <thunderbirdtr> jonatoni, I could be join for help, but I need to apply for viza
19:13:36 <Rathann> I was considering volunteering for the booth and opening a budget ticket, but the agenda doesn't look that much interesting this year and I will be at DevConf the weekend before
19:14:18 <Rathann> my family wouldn't be too happy if I were gone for two consecutive weekends
19:14:26 <Rathann> especially my dog ;)
19:14:31 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: do you still have time to apply for a visa, if your budget ticket will be approved?
19:14:31 <thunderbirdtr> :)
19:14:57 <jonatoni> Rathann: yeah, that's right :P
19:15:04 <thunderbirdtr> jonatoni, I'll go check it
19:15:16 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: great :)
19:15:23 <Rathann> I mean, I'd love to come - my last FOSDEM was 2014
19:15:31 <Rathann> but it's either DevConf or FOSDEM
19:15:39 <thunderbirdtr> I never made come FOSDEM
19:15:50 <thunderbirdtr> so I would love to try my chance and go for it.
19:15:51 <Rathann> and DevConf's agenda looks much more relevant to my day job
19:16:26 <Rathann> thunderbirdtr: when I was there in 2014 it was very intense and unbelievably crowded
19:16:28 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: if you need any help just let me know :)
19:16:46 <thunderbirdtr> yay, I have 2 support already :)
19:16:48 <Rathann> which means great
19:16:51 <thunderbirdtr> thanks people :)
19:17:08 <jonatoni> :D
19:17:16 <jonatoni> okay, let's move to the next topic
19:17:18 <jonatoni> #topic Action items from previous meetings
19:17:23 <jonatoni> We don't have any
19:17:30 <jonatoni> #topic Open Floor
19:17:39 <jonatoni> Anything goes here.
19:18:05 <jonatoni> We need to come with new ideas to have more people attend the meetings
19:18:12 <jonatoni> we are just a few lately
19:18:26 <thunderbirdtr> jonatoni, try to do it in "jitsi" :) today was a mess in "builddah" class
19:18:31 <Rathann> I'm considering starting regular meet-ups for local (prospective) Linux users, do you have any resources that might help?
19:19:23 <jonatoni> Rathann: you need something Fedora related, right?
19:19:28 <Rathann> yes
19:19:41 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: oh, was it effective? :P
19:19:53 <thunderbirdtr> jonatoni, 50+ and felt like 100
19:19:59 <thunderbirdtr> so what do you think :)
19:20:31 <Rathann> I think video conferencing it works better with fewer people
19:20:52 <Rathann> so yes, we could try running a meeting over video
19:20:59 <Rathann> even if just to see how it goes
19:21:03 <jonatoni> Rathann: sure, can you send me an email about it? I'm on a bus going to Brno now, and I can reply later via email.
19:21:09 <Rathann> oh
19:21:11 <Rathann> sure
19:21:41 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: yeah, I agree with Rathann. Also, sometimes people doesn't have a good internet connection which makes it very hard to understand each other
19:21:51 <jonatoni> I had this problem in the last Council meeting
19:22:03 <thunderbirdtr> jonatoni, yea but this wasn't like "people" side
19:22:11 <thunderbirdtr> there was serious connection issue
19:22:21 <thunderbirdtr> I mean speaker didn't even stay online
19:22:53 <Rathann> at my day job, I work with in team spread across the globe, so we meet only via video conferences
19:23:03 <Rathann> it works pretty well for a team of ~10
19:23:30 <thunderbirdtr> It was probably designed for less
19:23:44 <jonatoni> then I suggest you to open a ticket here https://pagure.io/ambassadors-emea/tasks/issues and see what everyone thinks about it
19:23:45 <thunderbirdtr> but larger viewer we gonna need bigger platform (twitch/youtube etc)
19:23:54 <jonatoni> also post it on ML as well
19:24:40 <thunderbirdtr> ok
19:25:04 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: thanks :) so we can get more feedback from other ambassadors
19:25:18 <thunderbirdtr> jonatoni, let's see how is it go
19:25:24 <thunderbirdtr> better then nothing
19:25:24 <jonatoni> If that is all I will be ending the meeting in two (2) minutes.
19:25:40 <thunderbirdtr> end it now and thanks as always for charing jonatoni
19:25:41 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: yes, sure :)
19:25:52 <jonatoni> thanks for coming :)
