2025-10-30 11:04:09 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I suspect Akashdeep Dhar is around, maybe Gwmngilfen too.
2025-10-30 11:04:16 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Heheh. On brand then, I suppose 😄

2025-10-30 11:07:08 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think we have an approximate quorum. I know sometimes Luis Bazan appears but I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't. It's super early.
2025-10-30 11:07:13 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, let's get this show on the road!

2025-10-30 11:14:07 <@jflory7:fedora.im> https://gitlab.com/fedora/mindshare/home/-/issues/80
2025-10-30 11:14:27 <@jflory7:fedora.im> For #80, I want to check in with the other leads who are present on their areas, and see what we can do to help / push the needle forward / etc.
2025-10-30 11:14:36 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Time allowing: https://gitlab.com/fedora/mindshare/home/-/issues/82
2025-10-30 11:15:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I'll be delighted if we get #85, #87, and #88. I want to leave room for #80. And getting #82 would be the icing on the cake.
2025-10-30 11:15:25 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Folks, does this sound like a good agenda for today? Emma Kidney Gwmngilfen Akashdeep Dhar 
2025-10-30 11:15:36 <@ekidney:matrix.org> works for me!
2025-10-30 11:15:39 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Yep +1
2025-10-30 11:15:50 <@jflory7:fedora.im> OK, let's gooooo! 🚀
2025-10-30 11:16:11 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !topic #85: Funding request: Fedora 43 Release Party at "Jesień Linuksowa 2025" in Rybnik, Poland

2025-10-30 11:16:51 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Emma Kidney, Akashdeep Dhar: Thanks for filing your votes on the ticket. Gwmngilfen, if you want to drop a vote in the ticket, that would be super too.
2025-10-30 11:17:01 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, there is probably not much to discuss here, because the event already happened.
2025-10-30 11:17:17 <@jflory7:fedora.im> There is probably something to observe here about encouraging an event owner to give us a bit more heads-up time on requests…
2025-10-30 11:17:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> But the small events (>$150 USD) were designed for this quick and fast scenarios
2025-10-30 11:17:38 <@jflory7:fedora.im> But the small events (<$150 USD) were designed for this quick and fast scenarios
2025-10-30 11:18:06 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Also, we probably need to provide some more guidance on budgeting out the requests
2025-10-30 11:18:25 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think we can probably cover whatever zbyszek needed, but there are certain things that are trickier to fund/reimburse than others
2025-10-30 11:19:20 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Per policy, this got at least two +1's and no -1's in at least three days, so the event is approved by our current bylaws.

2025-10-30 11:19:21 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> done
2025-10-30 11:19:34 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I'm going to mark the ticket as approved and ask for an event report. 👍️
2025-10-30 11:19:39 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Gwmngilfen: TY!
2025-10-30 11:19:53 <@jflory7:fedora.im> While I do the GitLab comment and Meetbot minutes, feel free to peek ahead at https://gitlab.com/fedora/mindshare/home/-/issues/87
2025-10-30 11:21:26 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> +1 to that too, thats not a lot of money for a potentially large impact
2025-10-30 11:23:19 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> +1 to that too. Cornelius Emase has been doing some impressive work with these events.
2025-10-30 11:23:55 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !agreed zbyszek is approved as a Small Event type for up to $150 USD reimbursement. The Mindshare Committee awaits an event report to proceed with the Fedora Reimbursement Request.

2025-10-30 11:25:06 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Niceeeee
2025-10-30 11:25:11 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase: I love to see this
2025-10-30 11:25:31 <@jflory7:fedora.im> And kudos for budgeting a photographer in there too. We do love us some photos.
2025-10-30 11:25:48 <@jflory7:fedora.im> After the event, you should drop by #marketing:fedoraproject.org and work with Joseph Gayoso to do some post-event promotion!
2025-10-30 11:25:54 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Also, some pre-event promotion might not hurt either.
2025-10-30 11:26:13 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase++
2025-10-30 11:26:15 <@zodbot:fedora.im> gwmngilfen gave a cookie to lochipi. They now have 16 cookies, 2 of which were obtained in the Fedora 43 release cycle
2025-10-30 11:26:25 <@jflory7:fedora.im> It's a little tight to request design work (I will let Emma Kidney be the judge of that), but we can probably get some posts up on Mastodon, LinkedIn, and maybe Instagram
2025-10-30 11:26:41 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase: Any questions for us?
2025-10-30 11:27:01 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase++
2025-10-30 11:27:04 <@zodbot:fedora.im> t0xic0der gave a cookie to lochipi. They now have 17 cookies, 3 of which were obtained in the Fedora 43 release cycle
2025-10-30 11:27:25 <@ekidney:matrix.org> probably too tight but I remember for the virtual one there was a poster made so that could be reused im sure with details changed 😄 
2025-10-30 11:29:38 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase: If you have that handy from last time, you could use the poster from the virtual event as a base? Not sure if you need a Design Team member to make edits, or if you are comfortable doing it yourself.
2025-10-30 11:30:04 <@jflory7:fedora.im> (In general, getting Design Team sign-off on printed assets is always good to make sure we are following the brand guidelines for the Fedora logo. The Design Team is our resident expertise on that.)
2025-10-30 11:30:15 <@theprogram:fedora.im> Cornelius does not have the indesign or gimp file, so it would be good for the design team to send that to him, or redo the text
2025-10-30 11:30:31 <@jflory7:fedora.im> It is probably a SVG in Inkscape, I would guess?
2025-10-30 11:30:48 <@ekidney:matrix.org> I'm not sure who made the poster last time as it wasnt the design team 
2025-10-30 11:30:53 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Oh!
2025-10-30 11:30:56 <@ekidney:matrix.org> i just remember seeing it 
2025-10-30 11:30:57 <@lochipi:matrix.org> I think we have the DEI meeting now :) We;ll discuss more there 
2025-10-30 11:31:00 <@theprogram:fedora.im> (sorry for speaking buddy, did't see you are here!)
2025-10-30 11:31:13 <@lochipi:matrix.org> there's a friend who did that, the poster
2025-10-30 11:31:21 <@jflory7:fedora.im> If not the Design Team, then I don't know.
2025-10-30 11:31:34 <@lochipi:matrix.org> I will get back to him, don't worry about that
2025-10-30 11:31:56 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase: Ah, okay. It would be great if you can share an updated version in #design:fedoraproject.org before going to print, just to get Emma Kidney or Madeline to give a quick look-over and see if anything looks out of order.
2025-10-30 11:32:12 <@lochipi:matrix.org> yea sure.
2025-10-30 11:32:29 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase: Also, I think the DEI Team meeting is in an hour? 👀 If not, we have been hit by DST time zone madness once again 😛 
2025-10-30 11:32:41 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase: Awesome. I will action you for that then 🙂 
2025-10-30 11:33:01 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info The event looks awesome! The Mindshare Committee gives a big hoorah to Cornelius Emase for his efforts! W00t w00t!
2025-10-30 11:33:52 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> afk 10min
2025-10-30 11:34:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !idea There is a poster design that a friend of Cornelius Emase's made. Cornelius is content to work with his friend and update the poster for the event.
2025-10-30 11:34:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !action @lochipi Share the updated version of the poster with the Design Team before going to print for a quick review on brand and style guidelines for Fedora.
2025-10-30 11:35:05 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !agreed The ticket is more or less approved, but will officially hit the required three-day voting period at 23:59 on Fri, 31 October 2025. Assuming no `-1` votes before this time, the event is approved for the requested budget.
2025-10-30 11:35:22 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Cornelius Emase: Can't wait to see how it goes! We'll be cheering for you 🙂

2025-10-30 11:36:52 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !link https://gitlab.com/fedora/mindshare/home/-/issues/88
2025-10-30 11:36:58 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> ok, not 10min
2025-10-30 11:37:04 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Akashdeep Dhar, Gwmngilfen: You're up!
2025-10-30 11:37:09 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Alright
2025-10-30 11:37:16 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I see a lot of questions here: https://gitlab.com/fedora/mindshare/home/-/issues/88#note_2855516800
2025-10-30 11:37:38 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> So simply put, I reached out Gwmngilfen yesterday (or the day before) on his participation with the recognition service
2025-10-30 11:38:01 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> So far recognition more or less meant badges but with the changing things in Mindshare, we wanted to see if we can add more value to this
2025-10-30 11:38:47 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Things like what actions are required and what outcomes are expected are a good starting point - thanks for listing the ticket comment
2025-10-30 11:39:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info See some of the following questions asked by Akashdeep Dhar and Gwmngilfen to Mindshare Committee compatriots:
2025-10-30 11:39:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info **About scope and definition**: What constitutes "recognition" in our context? (Should we focus on public recognition (blog posts, social media), tangible rewards (swag, conference tickets), or a mixture of both?) How do we define and/or evaluate contribution? (What activities should be scoped higher than the others? Technical, community, collaborative, sustained, leadership, chores etc.?)
2025-10-30 11:39:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info **About process and implementation**: What cadence works best for recognition reviews (either automated or manual) to construct an impact assessment? Frequency of the metrics gathering to weigh action and result balance. How should we connect with other Fedora Project teams to widen our scope of recognition to teams and SIGs that are not necessarily connected directly with but are influenced by Mindshare?
2025-10-30 11:39:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info **About measurement and metrics**: What metrics should we use to measure the contribution impact (action) and community health (result)? Qualitative (mentorship, accesses etc.) as well as quantitative (commits, issues etc.) How do we introspect the effectiveness of the recognition service itself? With us doing good or bad at what we do can result well or poorly on the other projects/SIGs of the Fedora Project.
2025-10-30 11:39:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info **About resources and sustainability**: What budget and resources are realistic enough to be used here? Do we reserve a part of the assigned budget, or do we float atop it based on how many interested parties we might get? What would the day-to-day operation entail? Badges and Datanommer are good entry points but what do we do there to expect the maximum benefit in terms of recognition of contributors?
2025-10-30 11:39:22 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I wish Meet Bot did not spam so much like that
2025-10-30 11:39:32 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Me and Gwmngilfen could use insights here - Please go through the ticket and the comment to get started with some questions - We'd love to hear your opinions
2025-10-30 11:39:55 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> But hey - now it honours newlines... ("Technologia!") 
2025-10-30 11:40:25 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Akashdeep Dhar: I don't think we have enough time to discuss all of the questions today. But it will be good for folks to weigh in and answer on questions they can. However, is there a specific one or two questions you want us to discuss right now?
2025-10-30 11:40:39 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> indeed. I'm taking an action to post some of my old analysis from my Ansible days, as I think it generalises well here, and will potentially apply to the work the Data WG is doing too
2025-10-30 11:40:46 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Gwmngilfen: has parts related to community health and meaningful contribution metrics, and I have... well... Badges, as a starting point. 
2025-10-30 11:41:13 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I like seeing the two of you collaborate on this, you both have a lot to offer to the topic area 🙂 
2025-10-30 11:41:14 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Beyond the scope of this meeting, of course!
2025-10-30 11:41:14 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Noted. The issue ticket is there for folks to weigh in as and when they see fit. 
2025-10-30 11:41:16 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> Justin Wheeler: you've seen that content before, but i light of the renewed push and new members, I'll get it up in the ticket where people can see it
2025-10-30 11:41:43 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> (also the vm appears to be dead, so I have to go find the code again 😛)
2025-10-30 11:41:59 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Akashdeep Dhar: OK. Is it fair to move on to another ticket then? We probably have time to discuss one, maybe two questions in the meeting, but this is a lot and I think folks will need some time to chew on the questions.
2025-10-30 11:42:10 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Sounds good.
2025-10-30 11:42:27 <@jflory7:fedora.im> ACK
2025-10-30 11:42:40 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> async is fine by me
2025-10-30 11:42:59 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info See the above questions and please take some time to review them and answer questions you are willing / have context for. Even answering one or two questions is fine if you don't feel like you have answers for all of them!
2025-10-30 11:44:11 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !action @jflory7 @ekidney @lbazan @joseph @sumantrom Review ticket #88 asynchronously as comments on GitLab
2025-10-30 11:44:28 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Akashdeep Dhar, Gwmngilfen: Oh, most importantly. Give us a deadline! By the next meeting? Or another time?
2025-10-30 11:44:48 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> I'd say next meeting? One fortnight? 
2025-10-30 11:44:53 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> next meeting is fine for the examples i've committed to providing
2025-10-30 11:44:53 <@jflory7:fedora.im> WFM.
2025-10-30 11:44:53 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> Whaddaya say Gwmngilfen ?
2025-10-30 11:45:10 <@gwmngilfen:fedora.im> if there's more discussion from others i'll try to find time to add to the debate 😉
2025-10-30 11:45:13 <@lbazan:fedora.im> here late
2025-10-30 11:45:21 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !agreed Feedback deadline is by the next Mindshare Committee is Thu, 13 Nov 2025
2025-10-30 11:45:33 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Luis Bazan: Bienvenido, ¡buenos días! 👋
2025-10-30 11:45:39 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Hope you brought your coffee 😄 ☕️
2025-10-30 11:46:29 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !topic #80: Committee Member Role Definition and Onboarding
2025-10-30 11:46:35 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !link https://gitlab.com/fedora/mindshare/home/-/issues/80
2025-10-30 11:46:54 <@lbazan:fedora.im> Morning! team!
2025-10-30 11:47:10 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, I do think the Contributor Recognition focus area has been represented by the discussion that Akashdeep Dhar and Gwmngilfen kicked off in #88. So, we can leave this ticket discussion more for the other focus areas and to take a quick update.
2025-10-30 11:47:25 <@jflory7:fedora.im> (Also, maybe going forward, we will want to redesign our meeting agendas to have focus area updates instead of being so ticket-driven)
2025-10-30 11:47:49 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> First half, updates from each vertical and second half, tickets? Maybe we can do that? 
2025-10-30 11:47:51 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Emma Kidney, and maybe a sleepy Joseph Gayoso: Any thoughts on Digital Ambassadorship? Have you had a chance to discuss more?
2025-10-30 11:48:18 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Luis Bazan: What about Regional Event Support? How are things going with this so far?
2025-10-30 11:48:57 <@ekidney:matrix.org> yes I reached out to Joseph and he agreed to co-lead with me 😄 We are going to work on re-working the docs to be more clear. Do you think I should open another ticket for that or is it ok within #80? 
2025-10-30 11:49:02 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !idea Rewrite the Mindshare Committee agenda to begin meetings with focus area updates from each focus area lead/co-lead, and then leave the latter half of the meeting for tickets?
2025-10-30 11:49:16 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Emma Kidney: Awesomeeeee, glad to hear this!
2025-10-30 11:49:36 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I actually like the format that Akashdeep and Greg took by forking off with a new ticket discussion
2025-10-30 11:49:50 <@ekidney:matrix.org> nice I'll open another ticket so!
2025-10-30 11:49:51 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think it will make it easier to keep track of the various focus area conversations instead of one mega-ticket to rule them all
2025-10-30 11:49:58 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Emma Kidney: Superb.
2025-10-30 11:50:37 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !info Emma Kidney and Joseph Gayoso are on-board to co-lead the Digital Ambassadorship focus area. They plan to begin by reworking the docs to be more clear and address the questions raised in our previous meeting two weeks ago.
2025-10-30 11:51:01 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !action @ekidney Open a new Mindshare Committee issue to track the launch of the Digital Ambassadorship focus area
2025-10-30 11:51:49 <@lbazan:fedora.im> I’ve been reviewing the tickets, and I haven’t seen any new ones only older ones. I’d like to know if there are any tickets we should be reviewing, such as the FOSDEM one, for example. Does that fall under our review scope? If there are any tickets or specific topics that need our attention, please let me know.
2025-10-30 11:52:08 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Luis Bazan: Hmm, so, interesting question
2025-10-30 11:52:38 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Let me copy-paste from the charter so we can review what is there as of now:
2025-10-30 11:52:52 <@jflory7:fedora.im> > - Support and coordinate budget requests for events in each region (EMEA, LATAM, NA, APAC), acting as a liaison between the regions, the FCA, and the wider committee.
2025-10-30 11:52:52 <@jflory7:fedora.im> > - Review funding requests, ensuring the regional representative advocates for the sponsorship’s approval and that requests adhere to a clearly defined process (similar to the Fedora Advocate Program).
2025-10-30 11:52:52 <@jflory7:fedora.im> > - Ensure active regional representation and assist the FCA in planning events.
2025-10-30 11:52:52 <@jflory7:fedora.im> 
2025-10-30 11:53:21 <@jflory7:fedora.im> So, to an extent, reviewing funding tickets is something all of us do
2025-10-30 11:53:42 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think there is an opportunity to lead on how to help Fedora folks make funding proposals that get accepted
2025-10-30 11:53:59 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I am aware there are FOSDEM 2026 and SCaLE 23x proposals under way, but those aren't the ones I am concerned about
2025-10-30 11:54:12 <@jflory7:fedora.im> The event owners for these events are experienced Fedora Ambassadors who have been around the block a few times already
2025-10-30 11:54:24 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think about the events we used to do in LATAM, in India, in southeast Asia.
2025-10-30 11:54:32 <@jflory7:fedora.im> How can we make it easier to bring more of these events back to Fedora?
2025-10-30 11:54:45 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think this is the real question that the Regional Event Support focus area is trying to answer
2025-10-30 11:55:54 <@t0xic0der:fedora.im> TIME CHECK -> 5 minutes to meeting end 🕐️
2025-10-30 11:56:04 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Luis Bazan: Also, as the lead of this focus area, you can also rewrite the rules of your job here 🙂 
2025-10-30 11:56:13 <@jflory7:fedora.im> ACK. Thanks for the time check!
2025-10-30 11:56:34 <@lbazan:fedora.im> Yes, in the past, a wiki was created for each region to present their upcoming events and estimated budgets. I’ll take a look into this it could be a good place to start.
2025-10-30 11:56:54 <@jflory7:fedora.im> Luis Bazan: If you are OK taking an action item, could you make a new Mindshare Committee ticket to ask some questions for the group about Regional Event Support? This way, we will have tickets for all three of the Focus Areas, and we can discuss more in detail on each ticket.
2025-10-30 11:57:12 <@jflory7:fedora.im> On this topic, I have some ideas, but we won't be able to fit them into today's meeting 🙂 
2025-10-30 11:57:21 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I take the 👍️ as consent for `!action` 🙂 
2025-10-30 11:58:08 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !action @lbazan Open a new Mindshare Committee ticket about the Regional Event Support focus area. Identify questions to ask to the wider Mindshare Committee group to help frame the focus. Also, maybe suggest edits to the Mindshare Committee charter if the focus area as written is not clear or not meeting the reality of today!
2025-10-30 11:58:13 <@jflory7:fedora.im> !topic Open floor
2025-10-30 11:58:19 <@jflory7:fedora.im> That is all we have time for discussion, really 🙂

2025-10-30 11:59:06 <@jflory7:fedora.im> I think that is all we have time for.
