20:05:14 <giannisk> #topic Announcements
20:05:24 <giannisk> I've got one to make.
20:05:30 <giannisk> F23 Beta has been around since last week.
20:05:37 <zoltanh7211> wohooo
20:05:42 <giannisk> F23 Final scheduled to be released in less than a month from now.
20:05:51 <giannisk> On Tuesday, 27 October, that is.
20:06:05 <drago01> it always slipped though so ... ;)
20:06:19 <giannisk> drago01, well yeah, let's see how it ends up this time :)
20:06:41 <giannisk> We should start planning our F23 release events in the region.
20:06:46 <giannisk> We can talk about that later on.
20:07:12 <giannisk> That's all from me I guess.
20:07:22 <giannisk> Any other announcements?
20:08:27 <giannisk> If not, we're moving on.
20:08:32 <RGeri77> FAD EMEA 2015
20:08:52 <giannisk> RGeri77, Sure, we can talk about it in the Events section.
20:09:04 <zoltanh7211> later at events rgeri77
20:09:47 <giannisk> Okay, let's move on.
20:09:52 <giannisk> #topic Requests
20:10:02 * giannisk takes a look at the EMEA trac.

20:10:28 <decause> .hello decause
20:10:29 <zodbot> decause: decause 'Remy DeCausemaker' <decause@redhat.com>
20:10:50 <giannisk> #info Ticket #512 - Funding Request for FOSSCOMM 2015
20:10:59 <giannisk> #link https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/512
20:11:08 <giannisk> This one is from the Greek community.
20:11:20 <giannisk> Let me explain a few things.
20:11:44 <giannisk> FOSSCOMM is the largest Greek foss-related conference, which takes place every year in different parts of the country.
20:12:02 <giannisk> This year it will be held between 6-8 November, in Athens.
20:12:18 <giannisk> We're planning for a solid Fedora presence throughout the conference.
20:12:36 <giannisk> For the time being, me an mitzie have arranged to give a presentation about the project.
20:12:59 <giannisk> And there are several other community members interested in hosting workshops or presentations.
20:13:17 <giannisk> Estimated attendance: ~200-300 people, judging by the previous editions.
20:13:34 <giannisk> Anyone who wants to ask any questions? :)
20:14:03 <giannisk> Total budget requested is 415 EUR (~463 USD) for travel and lodging.
20:14:06 <thunderbirdtr> Can we still submit for talk ?
20:14:26 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, sure thing, you can
20:14:37 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, just please note that the conference will be mostly in Greek :)
20:15:22 <thunderbirdtr> Well that will be need to check for sure :) thanks for notice :)
20:15:39 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, sure, if you need anything you can ask me or mitzie
20:15:39 <RGeri77> giannisk: thats the best part of it ;-)
20:15:53 <zoltanh7211> If the event can handle few foreginer speaker, and the visitors too that would be cool
20:16:23 <zoltanh7211> but seems to me fine stable event for locals
20:16:24 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, I know, but for some reason these years it has hosted Greek speakers and visitors mostly.
20:17:00 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, It would be definitely a good move to make it "look international" but that's not up to me.
20:17:11 <giannisk> Anyways.
20:17:15 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, well are they know English or mostly locals ?
20:17:37 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, most of them speak English, yes.
20:17:45 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, if not all of them.
20:17:49 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, that will be enough I think then :=)
20:18:02 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, it's just that these years they haven't attracted any foreign speakers or visitors.
20:18:12 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, which is, frankly, weird
20:18:19 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, but it's not up to me as I said :)
20:18:24 <zoltanh7211> at least one guest speaker can power others to join the community at booth
20:18:40 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, well maybe they want to stick local ? I'll check the website and get more info If It's gonna happen I'll ping you for extra help etc.
20:18:51 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, will see ...
20:18:57 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, sure thing
20:19:00 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, thanks

20:20:19 <giannisk> thank you everyone :)
20:20:36 <giannisk> #agreed Ticket #512 approved
20:21:07 <giannisk> I don't see any other requests that need to be voted.
20:21:15 <giannisk> Anyone who wants to ask anything?
20:21:30 <decause> not asking anything, just saying hello :)
20:21:45 * giannisk waves at decause
20:22:11 <giannisk> Okay, we can move on then :)
20:22:12 * decause waves
20:22:18 <zoltanh7211> decause: nice to see you
20:22:34 <giannisk> #topic Ambassadors Schedule
20:22:45 * giannisk looks for the link
20:23:18 <giannisk> #link https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-23/f-23-ambassadors-tasks.html
20:23:34 <RGeri77> decause: the beatboxer :-), nice to see you
20:23:47 <giannisk> There's a deadline for requesting budget for the F23 release events.
20:23:59 <giannisk> That is, until 9th October.
20:23:59 <decause> RGeri77: :)
20:24:07 <decause> :P
20:24:13 <zoltanh7211> jeez that way close
20:24:44 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, we need extend that :) too close looks like
20:25:41 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, well F23 Final is scheduled to be released on 27th October
20:26:02 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, release events would make more sense to be held within a month or so after the release.
20:26:58 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, so people should start planning these release events soon enough :)
20:27:01 <FedoraUser> well, f23 release is not a surprise, so deadline seems pretty appropriate
20:27:16 <FedoraUser> :)
20:27:48 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, It's just our winter season gonna start a little bit later so that's why normally It's fine but well I guess It's not hurt to be late as one week I think .
20:28:36 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, I wanna put event on linux turkey community website so we can be known better in turkey as plan I'm working on it.
20:28:52 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, we can be slightly flexible, no worries :)
20:28:57 <giannisk> thunderbirdtr, sure thing, please do
20:30:01 <giannisk> Is there anyone who wants to ask or say something?
20:30:09 <giannisk> If not, we can move on.
20:31:01 <giannisk> #topic Events

20:45:00 <giannisk> andreasch, would you like to tell us more about it?
20:45:39 <andreasch> I gave all the stickers DVDs;)
20:46:09 <giannisk> andreasch, you were so lucky to get them in time ;)
20:46:09 <andreasch> And I got a good feedback from Cypriots
20:46:29 <zoltanh7211> andreasch: we have a company here called balabit, who are interested in security - is this an recurring event?
20:46:36 <linuxmodder> topic
20:46:53 <linuxmodder> sorry for noise
20:47:20 <andreasch> I will ask and let you know zoltanh7211
20:47:51 <zoltanh7211> andreasch: thx
20:47:58 <andreasch> :)
20:48:42 <zoltanh7211> andreasch: eof?
20:49:53 <lupinix> .fas lupinix
20:49:53 <zodbot> lupinix: lupinix 'Christian Dersch' <lupinix@mailbox.org>
20:49:55 <giannisk> andreasch, are you done speaking? :)
20:49:58 <lupinix> sorry i'm late
20:50:07 * giannisk waves at lupinix
20:50:30 <lupinix> :)
20:50:48 <zoltanh7211> giannisk: go ahead
20:50:57 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, yeap.
20:51:04 <giannisk> Anything else regarding Events?
20:51:15 <zoltanh7211> no from our side
20:51:40 <giannisk> If there isn't anything else, we can move on.
20:52:07 <giannisk> Alrighty.
20:52:14 <giannisk> #topic Action items from previous meetings
20:52:20 * giannisk looks for the previous meeting minutes
20:52:42 <giannisk> #link https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2015-09-16/emea_ambassadors.2015-09-16-20.00.html
20:53:02 <giannisk> There were two action items during the last meeting.
20:53:21 <giannisk> One was for mitzie: he did send out that reminder on the ambassadors list.
20:53:42 <giannisk> And we have had the actual bid from the Hungarian community.
20:54:24 <giannisk> The other action item was for sesivany: to open the tickets regarding the new leadership initiative in the EMEA region.
20:55:11 <giannisk> I'm not seeing anything, neither on the EMEA nor on the FAMSCO trac, so I will put the same action item again.
20:55:31 <giannisk> #action sesivany to create the tickets about the new leadership initiative in EMEA
20:55:53 <giannisk> Anything you'd like to ask here?
20:56:01 <giannisk> Or say?
20:56:14 <lupinix> no
20:56:35 <giannisk> If not, we can then move to Open Floor.
20:57:26 <giannisk> Alrighty.
20:57:31 <giannisk> #topic Open Floor
20:57:41 <giannisk> I've got something to announce.
20:59:10 <lupinix> announce it :D
20:59:26 <giannisk> jsimon is moving to a new job and will be a little bit busy over the next weeks.
20:59:34 <giannisk> and the current EMEA reimbursements might take a little big longer to be carried out.
21:00:01 <giannisk> So, if you're one of the people (like me) waiting to get a reimbursement, it might take a little bit more time.
21:00:09 <lupinix> ok
21:00:14 * lupinix is waiting too
21:00:14 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, I maybe on that list too :)
21:00:22 <thunderbirdtr> giannisk, yeap I have one :)
21:00:34 <zoltanh7211> can you put into that as info into the meeting logs
21:01:08 <giannisk> #info Current reimbursements for the EMEA region might take some more time to be carried out.
21:01:36 <zoltanh7211> thx
21:01:36 <giannisk> thanks to zoltanh7211 for being the messenger here :)
21:01:54 <zoltanh7211> as always at your service to any fedora community
21:02:21 <giannisk> Anything else for Open Floor?
21:02:48 <zoltanh7211> yes
21:02:57 <andreasch> Yes
21:02:58 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, sure
21:03:08 <zoltanh7211> we planning to have baloons, and we have the prises for it
21:03:41 <zoltanh7211> earlier was a great success, but if you need too, or you are interested - say yes to us
21:04:02 <zoltanh7211> I think we make the ticket and ask for support and spread them
21:04:02 <zoltanh7211> eof
21:05:32 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, perfect
21:05:52 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, you can go ahead and open a ticket, and we can vote on this during the next meeting
21:07:26 <giannisk> andreasch, you wanted to say something?
21:07:44 <andreasch> I think for each Ambassador (per country) must have a table cloth and banner so the booth will be more professional and more attractive.
21:08:13 <giannisk> andreasch, makes sense
21:08:42 <giannisk> andreasch, if it's a fedora-branded tablecloth, please have in mind however that it will be kinda expensive
21:08:48 <lupinix> how much table cloth and banners do we have?
21:09:05 <giannisk> andreasch, we can always use generic (plain blue, or black) tableclothes
21:09:15 <mitzie> andreasch: I agree
21:09:29 <giannisk> lupinix, I think it's 1 or 2 tablecloths for the EMEA region
21:09:34 <giannisk> lupinix, most likely 1
21:09:36 <RGeri77> .fas rgeri77
21:09:36 <zodbot> RGeri77: rgeri77 'Rákosi Gergely' <rakosi.gergely@gmail.com>
21:09:38 <lupinix> @froscon we had nice fedora table cloth
21:09:58 <giannisk> lupinix, I see
21:10:11 <andreasch> We need more it takes time to send them
21:10:32 <giannisk> Hmmm
21:10:46 <giannisk> Would you be interested to bring this on the ML list for discussion?
21:10:56 <lupinix> and roll up banners, but they are a bit damaged, we used duck tape to fix them :D
21:11:02 <giannisk> It definitely makes sense for each community in EMEA to have a roll-up banner and a tablecloth.
21:11:16 <thunderbirdtr> +1000 :)
21:11:17 <giannisk> As you mentioned, it makes us look overall more professional and well-organised.
21:11:18 <andreasch> yes
21:11:19 <lupinix> +1
21:11:27 <FedoraUser> +1
21:11:29 <andreasch> +1
21:11:48 <RGeri77> +1
21:11:49 <giannisk> Perfect, please bring it up on the ML :)
21:12:09 <zoltanh7211> yes we need one for emea fad either
21:12:16 <lupinix> is there a wiki page with an overview for such equipment? or sth similar?
21:12:43 <giannisk> lupinix, there's the inventory page of the EMEA trac.
21:12:46 <zoltanh7211> lupinix: yes, but always outdated - would be great to have a system for it
21:12:50 <giannisk> lupinix, however it's kinda out-dated
21:13:14 <zoltanh7211> our member - Levex
21:13:32 <zoltanh7211> is working on a kind of inventory if anyone interested
21:13:39 <zoltanh7211> and he actually needs help
21:14:08 <zoltanh7211> http://fedinv.ilevex.eu/
21:14:11 <zoltanh7211> check it here
21:14:30 <zoltanh7211> and search for him in #fedora-hu if you are interested
21:14:32 <zoltanh7211> eof
21:14:42 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, I have already a fully working front-end for such a system :)
21:14:52 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, developed for our local foss community
21:14:59 * lupinix takes a look at it
21:15:11 <zoltanh7211> giannisk: then why we have not in here for our use?
21:15:22 <giannisk> zoltanh7211, so I can talk with Levex and collaborate:)
21:15:34 <zoltanh7211> yes I beg you and to everyone
21:15:41 <zoltanh7211> we have to clean down this mess
21:15:43 <lupinix> https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/wiki/Inventory wow, fedora 19 :D
21:15:59 * thunderbirdtr not that old :P :)
21:17:09 <giannisk> Anything else here?
21:18:03 <lupinix> giannisk: thank you for chairing :)
21:18:07 <giannisk> If not, we can end this meeting in 2.
21:18:15 <giannisk> 2 minutes, that is :)
21:18:24 <giannisk> lupinix, always a pleasure
21:18:32 <lupinix> and sorry again for being late, i felt asleep :D
21:18:46 <thunderbirdtr> make it now :) IMO ? :)  and thanks for meeting another awesome meeting ended :)
