20:10:04 <sesivany> any announcements anyone?
20:10:06 <robyduck> sesivany: I have one: Bids for Flock 2014 are open
20:10:29 <sesivany> robyduck: a good one!

20:10:39 <zodbot> rgeri77: rgeri77 'Rákosi Gergely' <rakosi.gergely@gmail.com>
20:11:59 <sesivany> #info Call for Flock 2014 bids is on (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flock_bid_process). Flock will be held in Europe next year and it may be your city ;-)
20:12:14 <sesivany> I know about one bid already.
20:12:31 <sesivany> Strasbourg
20:12:43 <sesivany> they are considering co-hosting with GUADEC.
20:12:44 * robyduck likes the idea
20:13:02 <robyduck> with 2 teams involved
20:13:14 <sesivany> mhroncok was thinking about placing a bid for Prague.
20:14:11 <sesivany> but it should not discourage you to come up with your bid, the more bids the better. Everyone has an equal chance.
20:15:08 <sesivany> any other announcements?
20:16:03 <sesivany> ok, let's move on then...
20:16:14 <sesivany> #topic Requests
20:16:36 * sesivany is looking at the trac...
20:17:55 <sesivany> I don't see anything that needs voting...
20:18:22 <sesivany> so only informative...
20:18:48 <sesivany> we're going to produce pins for other regions, too.
20:18:55 <sesivany> most likely 5,000 in total
20:19:46 <sesivany> #info we're going to produce Fedora pins for other regions, too. Most likely 5,000 in total -> lower unit price for us.
20:20:45 <sesivany> I produced 1500 Fedora stickers and 500 case badges for EMEA
20:21:11 <sesivany> #info 1500 Fedora stickers and 500 case badges produced for EMEA: https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/301
20:22:11 <sesivany> I also ordered 1000 Fedora cloud flyers. That's the first kind of flyers. I'd like to have more in the future.
20:22:35 <gnokii_> the ugly ones
20:22:38 <sesivany> once the marketing team comes up with more, we can produce them to have them for booths at events.
20:22:43 <bookwar> how does it look like?
20:23:01 <sesivany> gnokii_: yes, they're not particularly beautiful, but better than nothing.
20:23:36 <sesivany> bookwar: I don't have the link right now, not very beautiful, but the information is there.
20:24:17 <gnokii_> saw that coming
20:24:18 <bookwar> ok. i am just wondering, I will look for it later
20:25:31 <sesivany> there is one request for swag for an event in Tunisia. I'll take care of that tomorrow.
20:26:19 <sesivany> and that's it for requests. We'll discuss EMEA FAD later in the events topic.
20:28:00 <sesivany> #topic Ambassadors schedule
20:28:10 <sesivany> #link http://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-20/f-20-ambassadors-tasks.html
20:28:19 <sesivany> nothing new...
20:28:32 <sesivany> the release is coming
20:28:43 <sesivany> beta will be out in a couple of weeks.
20:29:08 <sesivany> FAmSCo will make a call for release parties soon, too.
20:29:36 <sesivany> it'd be great to have at least the same number of release parties as for F19.
20:30:38 <sesivany> btw I'll be travelling between Nov 12th and 30th, so there will be limited assistance in terms of swag.
20:31:41 <sesivany> #info sesivany will be travelling betwenn Nov 12th and 30th, if you need swag about that time, ask for it before he leaves.
20:32:05 <sesivany> ok, let's move on.
20:32:19 <sesivany> #topic Events
20:32:51 <sesivany> LinuxCon Europe is just two weeks away.
20:33:18 <sesivany> The only problem left is a standup banner.
20:33:45 <sesivany> Jon couldn't get an artwork for it, hopefully we got something after all.
20:34:27 <sesivany> everything else for LinuxCon is on track.
20:34:47 <sesivany> any other event, anyone?
20:35:54 <sesivany> if not, let's move to EMEA FAD
20:36:31 <sesivany> if you signed up for EMEA FAD, you should book your travel tickets.
20:38:14 <gnokii_> ooh shit
20:39:23 <sesivany> #info if you signed up for EMEA FAD, go ahead and book your tickets unless the price has gone too high since you indicated in the table on the wiki page. If so, contact sesivany first.
20:40:01 <sesivany> bookwar: did you book your tickets?
20:40:20 <bookwar> i book those from berlin to basel
20:41:22 <sesivany> bookwar: ok, create a ticket for it if you haven't done it yet. It's necessary for reimbursement.
20:41:41 <bookwar> yes, i'll do
20:42:34 <sesivany> #info when you book travel tickets to EMEA FAD also create a ticket in the EMEA trac. It's necessary for reimbursement. Mark it as "blocking #249 ticket".
20:43:34 <sesivany> ok, anything else to events?
20:44:04 <robyduck> me
20:44:44 <robyduck> we'll have the Linux Day in several italian cities at the end of october, as every year :)
20:45:23 <robyduck> we are already shipping swags to the ambassadors present at the event
20:45:48 <sesivany> robyduck: I don't know if I've given you an answer to the question about shipping cost reimbursement...
20:45:59 <sesivany> robyduck: yes, we have money for that.
20:46:04 <robyduck> sesivany: do you think we can file a ticket for the .......no, you didn't :)
20:46:05 <sesivany> robyduck: just create a ticket
20:46:33 <robyduck> ok, I hope LD will be successful as every year :)
20:46:58 <robyduck> thanks
20:47:10 <robyduck> EOF
20:47:21 <sesivany> robyduck: I hope as well and hopefully you'll get some new blood and the Italian community will be even stronger ;-)
20:47:48 <robyduck> sesivany: we are hoping the same, we need some fresh blood
20:48:33 <sesivany> we had some fresh blood at LinuxDays in Prague, too.
20:48:37 <gnokii_> u attend a red cross event?
20:48:45 <bookwar> we'll have a small linux fest in sankt-peterburg at 20th of October, I am not sure if we go there yet, but if so i'd like to print some buttons here in moscow (i've only 7 left)
20:48:46 <gnokii_> or areu vampire?
20:48:58 <robyduck> gnokii_: wanna try?
20:49:25 * gnokii_ bites robyduck
20:49:42 <robyduck> :D
20:50:09 <bookwar> sesivany: can i get a template for buttons design to send it to the companies so they'll tell how much it would cost
20:50:34 <sesivany> bookwar: I think there in something on wiki.
20:50:43 <sesivany> bookwar: search for fedora artwork
20:51:29 <sesivany> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_collateral
20:51:37 <bookwar> ah, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_collateral#Fedora_Buttons here it is, ok
20:53:25 <sesivany> #topic Openfloor
20:53:35 <sesivany> now we can discuss random topics...
20:55:26 <bookwar> is it ok for our local community to announce campaign for financing our servers?
20:55:27 <sesivany> if you don't have anything to discuss, I'll end the meeting in a couple of minutes...
20:55:36 <sesivany> bookwar: sure
20:57:08 <bookwar> ok, thanks )
20:59:59 <sesivany> bookwar: btw can you receive money from abroad?
21:01:05 <bookwar> sesivany: i got a paypal account
21:01:17 <bookwar> and now it seems to work properly in russia
21:01:24 <bookwar> so yes, i can
21:02:32 <sesivany> bookwar: ok, do you want to announce it now or later?
21:03:30 <jamielinux> Hi, sorry I missed the meeting! Bee super super busy lately...
21:03:36 <jamielinux> Thought I'd say hi since I'm here :)
21:03:43 <bookwar> i meant announcing in our community, not here
21:04:24 <sesivany> jamielinux: hi :)
21:04:29 <jamielinux> sesivany: Howdy!
21:04:48 <sesivany> bookwar: ah, ok then. Good luck with that!
21:05:27 <sesivany> jamielinux: enjoying the new ambassadors polo shirt? ;)
21:05:42 <jamielinux> sesivany: Indeed! Thanks very much for sending it, it arrived very quickly :)
21:07:01 <bookwar> sesivany: i mean we always say that Fedora doesn't take money contributions, but we(as a local community) need to raise some money for our server, we plan to do this through our community site, and i hope it doesn't contradicts with any Fedora policies )
21:07:09 <sesivany> jamielinux: hope to see you in the new shirt at FOSDEM ;-)
21:07:35 <jamielinux> sesivany: Indeed. I should hopefully be able to book time off work to go to FOSDEM. I just need to figure out how to do things that far in advance, but hopefully it will be fine :)
21:08:21 <sesivany> bookwar: I think if you say clearly it's an initiative of Fedora Russia, a local community which is not formally affiliated with the Fedora Project, it's ok.
21:09:06 <bookwar> yes, this should be clear
21:09:30 <sesivany> jamielinux: if you can't get the weekend of FOSDEM, come to DevConf.cz a week later. It's also an interesting event and will be even more with the Fedora Day.
21:09:47 <jamielinux> sesivany: I actually would love to come to both :)
21:09:59 <jamielinux> sesivany: I just need to plan ahead and organize time off.
21:10:03 <jamielinux> sesivany: I'll keep you posted.
21:12:39 <sesivany> ok, looks like we're done for today...
21:12:56 <sesivany> thank you all for coming tonight!
21:13:09 <sesivany> and meet you in two weeks ;)
21:13:34 <sesivany> oh... wait, I will be at LinuxCon... maybe I'll need a backup. We'll see.
21:14:51 <gnokii> no party for u then just meeting
