21:48:42 <sesivany> #link https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/301
21:49:14 <sesivany> I added it to an older ticket because it's an extra production we need to do because we transferred some swag to APAC.
21:49:14 <Affix> i'm good with that sesivany
21:49:36 <sesivany> interregional help :)
21:49:49 <sesivany> check the last comment
21:49:52 <Affix> seems like enough to get us through to next year
21:49:59 <gnokii> so sticker did work
21:50:01 <Affix> Yeah 1500 case badges, 1500 stickers
21:50:25 <sesivany> that's something that should get us through at least the beginning of F20 cycle.
21:50:30 <Affix> yeah
21:50:36 <Affix> if we need more we can steal from APAC :P
21:50:49 <sesivany> the prices are the same as we have had.

21:56:55 <sesivany> to the Ticket #309...
21:57:05 <sesivany> https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/309
21:57:19 <gnokii> fun ticket
21:57:49 <sesivany> I'm afraid it's something I can't help with. I have maybe 30 DVDs left, but I'm in Slovakia and will get back home on Fri.
21:58:01 <gnokii> sesivany: DVD we have
21:58:17 <sesivany> We'd have to pay next-day service to deliver it by Saturday.
21:58:51 <gnokii> remember I asked u more then a week ago
21:59:01 <sesivany> maybe cwickert has some leftovers.
21:59:24 <gnokii> u said heffer got from u at LinuxDays Prague
21:59:45 <sesivany> gnokii: yeah, well you asked me if I sent any swag to ORR and I said no because no one had asked. I just gave some swag to heffer in Prague.
22:00:14 <sesivany> so heffer and cwickert are our only options now.
22:00:16 <heffer> i guess we should have enough
22:00:23 <gnokii> then its enough, I just woke yesterday morning the guy up asking him if he believes I sleep on the street
22:01:10 <sesivany> heffer: ok, I'm glad we're covered. cwickert should definitely has a plenty of pins.
22:01:39 <Affix> sesivany: I think he has
22:01:49 <sesivany> jonar just added one more ticket...
22:02:16 <sesivany> #info Ticket #310 - Reimbursement for Fedora banner production
22:02:21 <sesivany> #link https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/310
22:02:47 <sesivany> It's covered by the budget for LinuxCon Europe. We used it there and the UK community will use it for other events.
22:03:08 <Affix> The banner was awesome :D
22:03:11 <sesivany> +1
22:03:13 <mailga> +1
22:03:20 <gnokii> +1
22:03:21 <Affix> +1 and thanks jonar for bringing it up
22:03:53 <jonar> you are welcome... I was impressed with the quality of it for the price
22:04:10 <sesivany> What's awesome is the price. It was only 41 pounds. Jonar is definitely the one to ask in case we need to produce more.
22:04:35 <Affix> definately sesivany
22:04:39 <sesivany> but we still need one more plus one...
22:04:48 <kmf> +1
22:04:55 <gnokii> we have to produce some more, german rollups are all eol
22:04:56 <Affix> kmf: right in there as always :P
22:05:12 <sesivany> kmf came to the rescue again :)
22:05:19 <kmf> Affix, new around here ... but glad to help
22:05:29 <Affix> welcome them kmf
22:05:47 <sesivany> #agreed Ticket #310 - Reimbursement for Fedora standup banner production has been approved.
22:05:54 <kmf> Affix, ta
22:06:02 <sesivany> that's all for the tickets.
22:06:27 <sesivany> #topic Events
22:06:42 <sesivany> I think the only event coming is ORR, right?
22:06:52 <gnokii> nope
22:06:59 <sesivany> and LinuxDays in Italy
22:07:17 <sesivany> and LinuxDay in Dornbirn
22:07:27 <sesivany> so quite a few events after all
22:07:44 <gnokii> there is something else next weekend
22:08:40 <gnokii> a guy named cwickert and mrunge will cover that event
22:08:53 <sesivany> mailga: is everything covered for LinuxDay in Italy?
22:09:14 <sesivany> gnokii: I guess those two are experienced enough to handle it :)
22:09:23 <mailga> I think it's all ok
22:09:26 <gnokii> yes and there is no booth area anyway
22:09:52 <sesivany> speaking of events, FOSDEM is getting nearer
22:10:03 <sesivany> I've created a wiki page for it.
22:10:16 <sesivany> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSDEM_2014
22:10:20 <Affix> I will get booking tickets :)
22:10:36 <sesivany> I've also asked the organizers for a booth.
22:10:48 <sesivany> we will have to organize it better than last year.
22:11:13 <sesivany> Add yourself to the list.
22:11:16 <gnokii> normally should go
22:11:56 <jonar> I'm happy to man a booth if needs
22:12:00 <sesivany> we will have some budget for travel and lodging, we'll see how much. If you want to get sponsored, the booth duty is obligatory.
22:12:18 <gnokii> hahaha
22:12:19 <kmf> there is another event in Kenya next year .. Idlelo
22:12:55 <kmf> #link http://www.idlelo.net/
22:12:59 <gnokii> kmf that doing arthur and twohot
22:13:26 <Affix> added sesivany
22:14:24 <sesivany> yes, Idlelo has always been handled by our African ambassadors.
22:14:27 <kmf> gnokii ... I'll hook up with them :)
22:14:51 <kmf> sesivany, well ... I stay in Africa and this is the EMEA meeting :)
22:15:05 <gnokii> kmf: sure I am very sure they are happy to get more help
22:15:15 <kmf> gnokii, cool
22:15:48 <sesivany> kmf: I'm not saying it's not our business, just saying arthur and twohot usually take care of it. They will definitely apprecite help though.
22:15:58 <gnokii> but sesivany we should trigger them we had last idlelo really problems with sending swag
22:16:57 <sesivany> gnokii: it's not only idlelo, we always have problems with shipping stuff to Africa. Always gets stuck at customs.
22:17:01 <kmf> sesivany ... yep will get in contact with them
22:17:39 <gnokii> kmf if you like to go, could u take the swag from za?
22:17:57 <kmf> gnokii, yes I can
22:18:31 <gnokii> sesivany: there is our solution, think its easier to send something to south africa
22:19:15 <sesivany> gnokii: it probably is
22:19:30 <sesivany> ok, let's go to open floor
22:19:38 <sesivany> #topic Openfloor
22:20:04 <Affix> sesivany: fedora-uk are applying to infra to get a mailing list and trac instance set up

22:21:15 <jonar> gnokii, it never went anywhere just sat back watching ;)
22:21:47 <sesivany> gnokii: Affix needs to expand the community in Scotland because if they become independent, there won't be any UK community any more and they will have to create their own Scottich one :-)
