11:46:34 <GIANT_CRAB> Looks ok to me. How are we gonna get the swags over to him?
11:46:40 <pjp> It usual, $100 is good.
11:47:06 <Amita> good to me too
11:47:07 <Amita> +1
11:47:08 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: They are going to produce it in Begaluru IIUC.
11:47:15 <Amita> how much?
11:47:18 <pjp> sumantro_: ^
11:47:21 <Amita> just for this party?
11:47:28 * pravins here
11:47:47 <pjp> pravins: Hi
11:47:50 <pjp> pravins: Not sure
11:48:49 <GIANT_CRAB> $100 is the limit Mindshare is intending to set anyways. Should be ok
11:50:22 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: I think Amita is asking if they are going to produce swag just for party or other events too, ex. DevConf in Bengaluru.
11:50:30 <GIANT_CRAB> oh
11:50:37 <sumantro> ping Amita
11:51:03 <sumantro> well, it will be great to have the swags from bexelbie
11:51:47 <sumantro> there is also a plan for supporting regional events with swags which will be stored and maintained at rht blr office
11:54:20 <bexelbie> depending on the swag needed I may be able to send it from here
11:54:46 <bexelbie> especially if it is like 50 stickers :)
11:54:55 <pravin_s> :)
11:56:22 <pjp> bexelbie: It'll likely be more for DevConf,
11:56:46 <bexelbie> pjp, but we don't have to solve those two problems together as one is way before the other
11:57:05 <pjp> bexelbie: Yes, agree.
11:57:11 <bexelbie> have any decisions about devconf and planning for the Fedora presence there been made?
11:57:24 <pjp> That's the next topic,
11:57:26 <GIANT_CRAB> Are we changing topic now?
11:57:35 <GIANT_CRAB> ok
11:57:56 <pjp> So, all good with $100 for Blr release party?
11:58:31 <pjp> pravins: ^
11:58:46 <pjp> paragan: ^
12:00:16 <bexelbie> For swag - how about 30 stickers and 20 pens?
12:00:20 * bexelbie has those
12:00:52 <pjp> sumantro: ^
12:01:27 <pjp> Let's start with the next topic, we are good with Blr party
12:01:36 <pjp> #topic Fedora presence at DevConf -> https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issue/295
12:01:39 <pjp> #link https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issue/295
12:02:24 <pravins> pjp: yes.
12:02:26 <GIANT_CRAB> who's going?
12:02:37 <Amita> hey..sorry got something in between
12:02:57 <pravins> +1 - for $100 to use during banglore release party.
12:03:07 <Amita> +1
12:04:28 <sumantro> bexelbie, sure
12:04:32 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: going ?
12:04:53 <GIANT_CRAB> for devconf
12:04:56 <GIANT_CRAB> india
12:05:20 <pjp> I guess all here would go
12:07:19 <bexelbie> I just added a comment to the ticket.  Let's make sure we know why we are sending so many people to this event, especially if many people may already normally be in BLR or may be going to give talks as paid by their employer who could also help
12:08:44 <bexelbie> This doesn't mean that we shouldn't spend money on travel
12:08:57 <bexelbie> but I think we should know what our goals are and make sure we have hte right people there to accomplish them
12:09:06 * bexelbie wonders if there is a netsplit
12:09:07 <pjp> bexelbie: Not sending many people there
12:09:14 <bexelbie> pjp, ok
12:10:57 <Amita> I am not going most probably because of personal reasons
12:11:23 <bexelbie> What are our goals for this audience?
12:11:35 <bexelbie> What do we want to show off and talk about at a booth?
12:12:36 <pjp> bexelbie: Many students audience are expected, they usually want to know how/where to start with contributing to Open Source projects.
12:13:16 <pjp> Booth with some stickers/swags offers a good place to have conversations
12:13:20 <bexelbie> I believe several APAC Ambassadors are also involved in planning DevConf.in ... perhaps they get us some information on the expected audience breakdown
12:13:36 <bexelbie> Should we find the APAC federator and have it there?
12:13:44 <bexelbie> do we want to talk about a specific developer topic and Fedora?
12:15:08 <pjp> bexelbie: I think using Fedora for DevOps workflow would be good
12:16:08 <bexelbie> I'd love to see that :D  I'd love to have that written up for other ambassadors to use!
12:16:11 <pravins> bexelbie: i have seen separate track about Fedora during devconf.cz, so might be during devconf.in also we might see topics related with Fedora grouped in one track. But i doubt how many Fedora specific talks will be submitted and selection of those.
12:16:18 <pjp> Last two events I participated here, many were interested in starting with DevOps work
12:16:42 <bexelbie> pravins, we should have someone talk to the organizers.  If we have no APAC ambassadors involved, I can do it, but I'd rather keep it local
12:16:52 <bexelbie> pjp, that is a HUGE topic - very exciting
12:17:19 * bexelbie was trying to convince an agile practioner I know to submit a talk - she won't this year but I will push her more next year to do so :D
12:17:59 <pravins> yeah, i will talk with them but as said, dunno how many submissions will be around Fedora.
12:20:56 <sumantro> bexelbie, modularity is happening, I will deliver and also talk about building modules
12:21:03 * pravins leaving for now.  I will comment on ticket if any inputs required. I did not able to work on budgeting stuff yet.
12:21:20 <pjp> 10 mins to go
12:22:36 <pjp> pravins: New thread about APAC budget planning, #action item from last meeting.
12:25:34 <pjp> 5 mins ...
