11:47:34 <pjp> skamath: Would it be possible to have a Fedora installation session at the party
11:47:36 <pjp> ?
11:47:50 <skamath> pjp, Yes that's the plan
11:47:54 <pjp> Ah it's there, I see now
11:47:57 <skamath> There is going to be an install fest.
11:48:39 <pjp> Last couple of weeks I spent some time closing lots of old long standing issues,
11:48:43 <skamath> pjp, I'm expecting ~100 people. We'll have a lot of FAS accounts on that day for sure.
11:49:27 <pravins> hi, i might run soon :)
11:49:28 <pjp> skamath: Sounds cool!
11:49:42 <skamath> Hi pravins o/
11:50:03 <pravins> hi skamath :)
11:50:06 <jonatoni> good luck with the event skamath :)
11:50:26 <skamath> Thanks jonatoni :) Good luck for the FWD event
11:50:39 <jonatoni> thanks :)
11:50:45 <pravins> skamath: can you add ticket link also to Wiki page (if any budget is requested)
11:51:11 <pjp> pravins: Yes, budget is approved
11:51:16 <skamath> pravins, yeah I had requested budget. It's on Pagure. Is that info required on the wiki?
11:51:18 <pjp> #link https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issue/272
11:51:39 <pjp> skamath: nope
11:51:52 <skamath> nod nod
11:52:08 <pravins> not mandatory, i used to do it. Since it saves time for search.
11:52:18 <RNM> .hello robbinespu
11:52:19 <zodbot> RNM: robbinespu 'None' <robbinespu@gmail.com>
11:52:43 <skamath> Okay, I'll add it to the end just to make it easily searchable :)
11:52:51 <pjp> skamath: We need to plan how to engage new Fedora users after the party,
11:53:17 <skamath> pjp, I was thinking of pointing them to WCIDFF.
11:53:39 <pjp> Opening FAS accounts is an easy step, but engaging them further is important
11:53:54 <pjp> skamath: Yes, that's a good starting point
11:55:08 <skamath> So my plan is, ask them to open up WCIDFF and let them figure out what they want to do. After they have chosen their interest, I'll ask everyone to send a $HelloWorld post to the respective MLs
11:55:38 <pjp> Yep,
11:56:16 <skamath> Do you have anything else in mind?
11:57:22 * bt0 thinks about maybe a special session using WCIDFF and talking about the experience of be part fp
11:57:24 <pjp> skamath: In my experience they are not always clear on what they want to do,
11:57:51 <skamath> pjp, Don't you think that's something they should figure out themselves?
11:57:58 <pjp> And variety of choice does confuse them enough to not pick/choose one topic
11:58:09 <pjp> skamath: Sure they should, but they don't
11:58:10 <skamath> I mean, we can of course guide them in the right path but when it comes to the decision and likings, it should be upto them
11:58:58 <skamath> I think that's a problem in all the communities. Retaining and onboarding are the two biggest challenges.
11:59:45 <pjp> Yes
12:00:30 <skamath> To get more people into the project and to spread foss knowledge, we have been hosting classroom sessions recently
12:00:37 <skamath> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom
12:00:44 * pjp clicks
12:01:11 <RNM> +1 for classroom
12:01:14 <pjp> skamath: One option could be to find them specific bugs to work on,
12:01:28 <skamath> pjp, the easyfixes?
12:01:40 <skamath> Yeah, that's a good start IMO.
12:02:02 <pjp> Yes
12:02:08 <skamath> CommOps is also working on something awesome : https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/70
12:05:43 <pjp> Yep
12:05:44 <skamath> I'll write a report once the event is done.
12:06:10 <pjp> skamath: Yes, thank you.
12:06:21 <skamath> I'll make sure to include the impact made in there :D
12:06:28 <pjp> skamath: Cool! :)
