And as we look at tickets, look to see if something is already in the works 17:42:01 <riecatnor> sumantro, you can because you are chair? 17:42:13 <riecatnor> but I can do too :) 17:42:43 <riecatnor> #info Mindshare Committee pausing funding or event organizing for things in the months of March, April, & May, per the Fedora Council. 17:43:22 <riecatnor> #info Fedora Council came to this decision based on the current state of covid-19 around the globe. 17:44:10 <sumantro> #info Fedora Council came to this decision based on the current state of covid-19 around the globe. 17:44:13 <bt0> it's a wise decision 17:45:36 <riecatnor> #info The Fedora Council regards this as a rolling decision we will readdress, to adapt to changes in the status of covid-19. 17:46:36 <riecatnor> An interesting conversation for us to have is around virtual events/sprints/hackfests/release parties 17:47:32 <bt0> We can use the (Bluejeans or Jitsi) + YouTube channel for broadcasting 17:47:36 <riecatnor> I think it could be interesting to try to build up those virtual events during this time, gather some resources, maybe try to organize some and learn how to do it better. 17:49:02 <riecatnor> I like the idea of a relay: There is a task we want to complete. We choose a day. People who first start the day pick up the task, work, and then collaborate with the next time zone, hand it off, etc etc. Is that feasible?? 17:49:29 <riecatnor> By the time the day ends, the task is complete with people in the US West coast :P 17:49:48 <bt0> I think yes, it's feasible 17:50:23 <bt0> but still we need more manpower to cover all the shifts 17:50:49 <sumantro> I think this is a brilliant idea 17:51:02 <riecatnor> well, I guess I am looking at something like a D&I hackfest, or a badges design hackfest 17:51:20 <sumantro> and we can do some of the vFAD 17:51:24 <riecatnor> so really it is the team covering, it takes commitment and people blocking off their schedule 17:51:30 <riecatnor> It will take incentive 17:51:32 <riecatnor> Badges 17:51:46 <sumantro> bt0, I can volunteer for all shift ..if its one day which is 36hrs with breaks :) 17:51:48 <bt0> i love badges 17:52:18 * sumantro looking forward to more badges 17:52:41 <bt0> I can help too 17:52:43 <riecatnor> We could make a special sticker or swag, that you receive at flock or some later event (we could also look into batch shipments through Red Hat) 17:53:40 <riecatnor> I would like to think about doing a Mindshare relay or vFAD 17:54:15 <bt0> looks like a great idea 17:54:52 <sumantro> that will be great! 17:54:53 <riecatnor> #idea virtual relays that span the globe on a chosen day. example cases: badges design hackfest, d&i hackfest. needs badges, swag, incentive. 17:55:42 <riecatnor> I think I should open a ticket on that :) 17:58:27 <riecatnor> #action riecatnor open a ticket on mindshare re: virtual relays 17:58:39 <riecatnor> so I guess next to look at tickets? 17:59:08 <riecatnor> https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/190 18:00:10 <riecatnor> So I am thinking we actually can't fund this. I guess sending stickers to mariana is fine, she would use them if the event stays or not... 18:00:34 <sumantro> sire 18:00:34 <riecatnor> I think I will ask on the ticket if the event is still happening and cite the decision of the council 18:00:47 <sumantro> *sure 18:00:51 <bt0> yes, the COVID changes the picture 18:01:55 <bt0> by example, https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/182 18:02:09 <bt0> already canceled 18:02:22 <sumantro> yees we have all events cancelled 18:02:47 <sumantro> or postponed until further notice 18:04:42 <bt0> right 18:04:51 <riecatnor> OK, i commented there 18:05:22 <riecatnor> https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/187 18:06:42 <riecatnor> the page isn't loading? 18:06:59 <bt0> ohh, i can't open pagure (suddenly) 18:07:02 <riecatnor> yes same 18:07:14 <sumantro> well 18:07:16 <bt0> :( 18:07:22 <sumantro> it was doing to me 18:07:25 <sumantro> give it some time 18:07:32 <sumantro> it will be fine :) 18:07:49 <sumantro> now it openes 18:09:10 <bt0> yep 18:09:32 <riecatnor> for 187, sumantro there isn't a fedora-budget ticket open for this 18:09:39 <riecatnor> just curious, is the event still happening? 18:10:23 <sumantro> well yes but i am still waiting final confirmation on the dates 18:10:51 <sumantro> that place is close to where the outbreak has been for last 48 hrs 18:11:31 <riecatnor> I am not sure it can make it in time for March 20th 18:12:10 <bt0> :( 18:12:14 <sumantro> i know, also I m not going to travel, BCP :( 18:12:27 <riecatnor> sumantro, should we close the ticket? 18:12:49 <sumantro> sure, that looks like a solution 18:12:55 <sumantro> the only solution 18:13:03 <riecatnor> lol, it might be a solution, but is it right? 18:13:05 <sumantro> no point in making an exception 18:13:33 <sumantro> red hat has clear instructions of not engaging in event for more than 100... this is at least 500 18:14:10 <riecatnor> gotcha. Yes, we are basically extending a very general version of red hats policy to fedora 18:14:55 <riecatnor> https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/185 18:15:33 <sumantro> its cancelled 18:16:05 <riecatnor> closed it 18:16:10 <riecatnor> 184 I am working on 18:17:03 <riecatnor> https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/182 18:17:28 <riecatnor> ah, this is cancelled yeah, I will close it. I think this person did get swag, i will follow up on budget side too 18:19:54 <riecatnor> https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/181 18:20:01 <nb> hi 18:20:13 <riecatnor> ok, so we were supposed to brainstorm this but coronavirus did take over this meeting. 18:20:16 <riecatnor> hiya nb! 18:22:05 <riecatnor> I closed this one: https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/165 18:23:15 <nb> so the council says no events for march/april/may? 18:23:22 <bt0> about yep 18:23:25 <sumantro> yep 18:23:33 <riecatnor> bt0, we don't really have time to discuss this one today. With the new event policy, I think we will have time soon lol. Is it ok if we look at it next week? 18:23:48 <bt0> its ok 18:24:03 <nb> I think instead of just closing tickets as not possible, someone should email the person and let them know why 18:24:08 <bt0> the script is (now) functional for groups 18:24:18 <riecatnor> the ones we closed were sumantros :) 18:24:25 <nb> riecatnor, oh ok, sorry, i hadn't noticed 18:24:28 <bt0> I will fix some visualizations 18:24:36 <riecatnor> no worries! 18:25:12 <riecatnor> (the other the person in fact told us it was cancelled, and he already got his swag :) 18:25:39 <nb> riecatnor, I need to send some swag to RH 18:25:47 <riecatnor> oh, what swag? 18:25:49 <nb> I have a bunch of the metallic case badges sitting at home 18:26:00 <nb> and some stickers, i forget how many of them 18:26:24 <sumantro> metallic case badges ? :\ 18:26:30 <riecatnor> cool :) do you need an address? 18:26:55 <riecatnor> nb, on the topic of swag, do I remember bex saying you are the contact for the blue and white fedora pens? 18:27:03 <riecatnor> or I am imagining this 18:27:04 <nb> riecatnor, yes 18:27:14 <nb> to both questions 18:27:22 <nb> sumantro, yes, the powered by fedora metallic stickers 18:27:40 <riecatnor> Cool, good to confirm.

I can get a quote 18:29:26 <nb> also, what's the status of the new logo? 18:29:46 <riecatnor> nb, not quite yet? we have about 850. With this virus I am not sure they are going to be moving that quickly. 18:29:57 <nb> ok 18:30:40 <riecatnor> The Red Hat legal tema has finally given us a date when they can work on it with us. It seems that the legal department is most likely very taxed with work 18:30:42 <riecatnor> team* 18:30:57 <riecatnor> Matthew and I have been repeatedly following up 18:31:16 <riecatnor> re: new logo 18:32:13 <riecatnor> alright.. anything else? 18:32:41 <sumantro> nothing from my side 18:32:57 <tg-fedmindshare> <bt0dotninja> Not from me 18:33:22 <riecatnor> alrighty, thank you sumantro bt0 nb :) 18:33:37 <riecatnor> #endmeeting
