20:16:55 <Mohamed_Fawzy> yes
20:16:55 <mohamed94> no >> its about free multimedia software such as blender
20:17:10 <mohamed94> and run its on fedora
20:17:19 <jonar> ok
20:18:07 <jonar> Any other announcements?
20:18:18 <FranciscoD_> This is worth following: https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/26
20:18:27 <FranciscoD_> "Objective Proposal: Fedora Modularization (Requirements Phase)"
20:18:39 <FranciscoD_> Early days, but worth keeping an eye on
20:18:45 <jonar> I was reading the mailing list post on this earlier... definitely
20:18:54 <FranciscoD_> Another is that F22 is in final freeze now
20:18:59 <jonar> #info Objective Proposal: Fedora Modularization (Requirements Phase)
20:19:05 <FranciscoD_> (I think)
20:19:07 <jonar> #link https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/26
20:19:09 * FranciscoD_ checks mailing lists
20:19:57 <FranciscoD_> oh, one last one that folks might want to know
20:20:22 <jonar> Final freeze should have happened yesterday
20:20:26 <FranciscoD_> after some discussion on the desktop list, we've updated this post as a good source of info on 3rd party codecs - https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/9111/sticky-what-plugins-do-i-need-to-install-to-watch-movies-and-listen-to-music/?answer=12998#post-id-12998

20:23:09 <FranciscoD_> if you folks do see any improvements that can be made to that post, please let me know and I'll edit the answer
20:23:23 <FranciscoD_> It'll be nice to have it ready before F22 freeze so we can point new users to it

20:35:31 <jonar> #link https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-22/f-22-ambassadors-tasks.html
20:35:42 <jonar> Is anyone planning any release parties?
20:36:17 <Mohamed_Fawzy> sure
20:36:27 <Mohamed_Fawzy> but i have university exams
20:36:44 <Mohamed_Fawzy> we will rebuild Arab community
20:36:58 <mohamed94> and me i have university exams
20:37:01 <jonar> Good, I hope you do!
20:37:12 <Mohamed_Fawzy> it will be the best :P
20:37:37 <jonar> I'm planning a release party for the local LUG(s)
20:38:00 <jonar> make sure you get any requests in for any media or swag you may need
20:38:35 <Mohamed_Fawzy> yes i will long time before the event it take long time
20:38:43 <jonar> Fedora 22 is looking to be another strong release....
20:38:56 <jonar> I've had the least amount of problems with a beta on 22
20:39:00 <FranciscoD_> ++
20:39:04 <FranciscoD_> I feduped 3 systems
20:39:15 <FranciscoD_> everything went pretty flawleslly
20:39:17 <lupinix> same for me
20:39:25 <lupinix> and very nice: plasma 5 in kde spin!
20:39:30 <FranciscoD_> hoping rpmfusion can get ready in time - they still have nonfree to push
20:39:46 <FranciscoD_> that was the only hurdle upgrading pretty much
20:39:52 <jonar> they usually come through, fingers crossed though
20:40:01 <FranciscoD_> spotify's already released an f22 build too ;)
20:40:12 <jonar> nice
20:40:30 <jonar> ok lets move along
20:40:40 <jonar> #topic Events
20:40:56 <jonar> as mentioned the 2 barcamps are not too far away in the UK
20:41:09 <jonar> also plans for release parties are going on..
20:41:21 <jonar> anything anyone else is planning or know of?
20:42:17 <FranciscoD_> negative :/
20:42:36 <der-flo> will there be an booth at FrOSCon?
20:42:58 <der-flo> https://www.froscon.de/en/home/
20:43:04 <jonar> I'm not sure, sesivany is probably best to ask about that.
20:43:21 <jonar> Did we have one last year? I remember discussion around it
20:43:29 <der-flo> yes, we did
20:44:17 <jonar> theres an entry in the budget for it, so i'm guessing we will
20:44:29 <jonar> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/EventPlan:2016
20:44:34 <der-flo> fine :) thanks!
20:44:34 <lupinix> i will help @FrOSCon too
20:45:03 <jonar> I hope to attend some time
20:46:14 <jonar> Looking at the Budget there is an event this weekend, in Croatia. Anyone know if this is taking place?
20:46:58 <jonar> not seen any tickets regarding it.
20:47:17 <jonar> Anyway, if theres nothing more for events
20:47:29 <jonar> #topic Action items from previous meetings
20:47:54 <jonar> There was only 1 action, and sesivany was going to look into our presence at LinuxCon Europe this year.
20:48:01 <jonar> I'll re add the action
20:48:48 <jonar> #action sesivany to contact the Linux Foundation and get a deal for this year's LinuxCon Europe.
20:48:57 <jonar> #topic  Open Floor
