<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

Okay, so we don't have other action items for now

Consolation Obazee (obazeeconsole) - she / her / hers

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:21:45

Hi obazeeconsole 👋

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:23:09

I'm not sure if Amita is still here, but she shared the proposal for a panel discussion for Fedora Mentor Summit

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:23:49

#info Amita has applied for a panel discussion for FMS, inviting mentors to share their experience

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:24:23

obazeeconsole you have been working on the article for FMS, can you please add it as draft on CommBlog

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:24:35

same as you did for Fedora Week of Diversity?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:24:53

The last I looked, there were 7 or 8 submissions for CFP.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:25:09

!info Amita has applied for a panel discussion for FMS, inviting mentors to share their experience

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:25:36

Which doesn't sound like many but some are longer workshops and we have a shorter schedule on Saturday.

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:25:45

Thanks Justin 😅 not sure why I wrote the wrong command 🤦

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:25:46

I think we will have some good content to choose from this year

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:25:55

I like some of the workshop ideas

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:26:14

Old habits die hard! 😅 It was # in the IRC days

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:26:25

that's awesome 🎉

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:26:33

Indeed 😅

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:26:34

yeah, here

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:26:38

doing multitasking

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:26:45

what is the question please?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:27:00

Any updates?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:27:06

How are things going with FMS?

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:27:08

we already shared the proposal you submitted for FMS

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:27:14

I need some info from Justin W. Flory (he/him) on mentors side, I need list of potential people who can be reached out

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:27:15

Any areas that need help?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:27:41

For CFP?

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:27:43

Jona Azizaj (she/her): you can also please help if you have insight on who will be there at Flock and is a good fit

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:28:33

We are looking good on submissions so far.

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:28:41

For the moment we are on track with the Mentors Summit I would say - Amita needs some help with mentors suggestions for the panel

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:29:00

Ahhh the panel, got it

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:29:04

correct

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:29:47

correct for the panel

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:29:52

Marie and Smera are two names that come to mind, and they also have the mentor/mentee connection too

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:29:56

so that I can reach out to them in time

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:30:00

But they have also submitted a workshop for the Summit too

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:30:22

that should not be a problem to be in panel

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:30:34

assuming they are not scheduled in parallel

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:30:42

You could ask both of them and see what they think.

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:30:54

Justin and Jona - how about you two?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:30:56

No, the Mentor Summit is the only track on Saturday.

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:31:01

will you be able to participate?

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:31:07

I know Justin will be too busy

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:31:36

I would prefer new people to join the panel, but if needed I can definitely join 🙂

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:31:59

I could probably think up some other names. I'll likely know more once the CFP goes from blind review to deanonymized in early May

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:32:14

cool

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:32:21

so I still have time to send the invite

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:32:43

I can't see the identities of everyone who has submitted in the CFP until May 6th if I recall. That is around when we make the final calls for selection

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:33:14

makes sense, so let's check that information later then 🙂

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:33:25

anything else to add on the Fedora Mentor Summit topic?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:34:35

Roland Taylor and ffmancera are also names that come to mind

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:34:40

But that's all I have for now.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:34:57

Seems like things are going steady

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:35:22

It's easier when is co-located with another event

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:35:28

especially with Flock 🙂

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:36:05

!topic Fedora Week of Diversity

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:36:39

I need to jump on an intense work call

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:36:54

Good luck ❤️

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:37:00

please feel free to ping me/mail me in case I am needed to be yelled at ;)

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:37:28

All good for now, thanks a lot for all your help 🎉

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:37:30

I know there are AIs on me for diversity week

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:37:39

but that should be taken care of this weekend

<@ami117:matrix.org>

13:37:53

bye for now, thanks lovely folks

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:38:06

Thanks for being here Amita!

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:38:28

so for Fedora Week of Diversity we have opened CFP: https://cfp.fedoraproject.org/fwd-2024/cfp 🎉

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:38:41

Deadline to apply is May 11

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:38:52

We have an article coming up soon

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:39:56

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:40:16

How are we on submissions so far?

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:40:44

0 so far

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:40:51

because we haven't promoted it yet

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:40:54

Got it.

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:41:07

This would be a good place to do some shoulder-tapping.

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:41:24

+100 yes definitely

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:41:26

The timeline is tight so we likely need to make some specific asks to folks

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:41:42

I know we have a theme but did we have an ideal format for content?

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:41:56

I need to do some follow ups with the team too so we can promote it on social media and Fedora Discussion

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:42:23

We could also ask some teams if they'd like to run a social event, like Fedora Pride did at the last release party.

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:43:00

Talks, workshops, panel discussions and social activities we have added as suggestions

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:44:01

!action: Amita to check with Fedora Pride team if they can run a social event like they did at the last release party

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:44:45

!action Amita to check with Fedora Pride team if they can run a social event like they did at the last release party

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:45:24

Anything else for the FWD?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:45:52

I'll do some nudging for the CFP too

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:46:01

Oh, right

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:46:06

There is an announcement planned?

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:46:23

We can do some light socializing on an announcement post if it is in progress

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:46:27

yes - we have an article for CommBlog

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:46:46

which I'm not sure when it will be published 😅

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:47:17

obazeeconsole already posted on Fedora Discussion about the draft

<@jflory7:fedora.im>

13:47:56

13:48:08

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:48:28

13:54:43

<@jonatoni:fedora.im>

13:55:18

13:55:41
