20:29:17 <ardian> I don't see anything we can add for here, anyone wants to add something ?
20:29:57 <jflory7> !
20:30:05 <ardian> jflory7, yes
20:31:22 <jflory7> I think they are almost ready for the printing press, but the Design + Marketing teams have been working on producing some brochures on Python + Fedora. These would be *really* good deliverables for any Python conferences and to have near the F24 launch. Once they are finalized and "ready to print", I was planning on doing an announcement on the Ambassadors list. More info is in the ticket. https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/ticket/219
20:31:23 <jflory7> eof
20:31:36 <jflory7> (just a heads-up of "what's coming" soon)

20:34:42 <ardian> #topic Events
20:35:08 <ardian> Any events taking place in your country ? Would you like to report from any recent events?
20:35:24 <nmilosev> !
20:35:36 <ardian> nmilosev, yes
20:35:54 <nmilosev> I want to talk about two events.

20:35:55 <zodbot> pkwesihanson: edgates 'Elijah Hanson' <pkwesihanson@yahoo.com>
20:36:19 <ardian> nmilosev, go ahead
20:37:13 <nmilosev> Firstly, I got accepted as a speaker at that big Microsoft conference in Belgrade which is on the May 7th which I mentioned at our last meeting. I wanted to thank all ambassadors who contributed to the Why FOSS page (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Why_FOSS) I will be presenting there, and try to promote Fedora the best I can.
20:37:59 <nmilosev> I have some small swag which I got with my Fedora Ambassador shirt, and Fedora ambassador Emmanuel Seyman sent me 30 Fedora Workstation DVD's which should be plenty.
20:38:36 <nmilosev> Around 600 people confirmed that they are coming already, I hope that some of them at least will be interested about Fedora and FOSS.
20:39:09 <ardian> wow seems like a good opportunity to promote fedora there
20:39:13 <nmilosev> The Workstation DVDs should arrive by the end of the week.
20:39:17 <giannisk> nmilosev++
20:39:28 <nmilosev> The link for the conference is here: http://tarabica.msforge.net/
20:39:33 <ardian> Do you have a booth there too ?

20:40:34 <nmilosev> Sadly no booths are available. This isn't that kind of an event. It's being held in one of the Faculties in Belgrade.

20:42:15 <nmilosev> About the second event. Just to be short. I contacted sesivany about EuroPython in Spain, but he told me the budget will be tight and that there are already interested ambassadors and developers.
20:42:44 <sesivany> right now, ardian and mcyprian are going.
20:42:47 <nmilosev> He also told me that there is still a chance for me to go, and I am waiting for his response.
20:43:03 <nmilosev> Just wanted to let everyone know, because of the thread on the ambassadors list.
20:43:07 <nmilosev> eof
20:43:14 <sesivany> I told ardian to put together a budget on the wiki page to see if we have money left for anyone else.
20:43:40 <elioqoshi> ardian did you figure out the visa problem?
20:44:33 <ardian> I will open today a ticket regarding the EuroPython event.
20:45:13 <ardian> elioqoshi, yes since Spain doesn't accept my passport, I have to go to Skopje and get a visa on an A4 letter
20:45:43 <ardian> I will have an appointment next week, I have already contacted the organizers they will send me an invitation for the conference
20:46:38 <sesivany> ardian: please ask mcyprian if he really wants to come with you and what's his budget estimation.
20:47:08 <nmilosev> Ok, when you figure out your budgets, please let me know if I can squeeze in. And good luck with the Visa, I know how hard it can be :(

20:52:12 <giannisk> Just wanted to remind everyone that we're gonna have DORS/CLUC in Croatia and OSCAL in Albania in about two and a half weeks from now. :)
20:52:36 <giannisk> And I'm really excited since they're going to be really big events within the region, and especially the Balkans area.
20:52:55 * ardian_ will be there too \o/
20:53:00 * jonatoni *awesome*
20:53:31 <giannisk> We are going to have several ambassadors and contributors in these events, all planning for some great Fedora presence. :)

20:55:17 <giannisk> Also, I'd like to report back from FOSSCOMM, which is apparently the biggest foss-related conference in Greece.
20:55:44 <giannisk> Last edition took place between 16-17 April. Me and mitzie went there, alongside other Greek Fedora contributors.
20:56:21 <giannisk> I was expecting a larger attendance this year, but nevertheless we had a really interesting booth targeted at robotics. :)
20:56:36 <giannisk> I should be writing a short blog post within these days.
