We're planning on changing how they are delivered, instead of specifically by edition / spin, by target audience. This is what we're hoping for, but it may not happen until Fedora 27. 20:32:21 In either case, keep an eye out this month for them… 20:32:22 20:32:49 That is great news, please report back :) 20:33:03 Okay, moving on 20:33:09 #topic Events 20:33:14 Any events happening near you?

20:38:32 nothing here 20:39:37 #topic Action items from previous meetings 20:39:41 #link https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/emea_ambassadors/emea_ambassadors.2017-02-15-20.00.html 20:39:48 #info 1. nmilosev to write to the mailing list about low ambassador presence on EMEA meetings 20:40:06 So, last couple of meetings we had really small number of ambassadors present 20:40:24 That's why I wanted to see, if there is a timing issue, so that we can move the meeting 20:40:46 However, that seems really difficult because not everyone is on at the same time 20:41:06 One idea is to move meetings to 21:00 UTC from 20:00 UTC, so one hour later 20:41:35 I'm ok with this 20:41:41 * jwf is flexible either way 20:41:55 as i wrote to list: in general fine for me. but as i'm astronomer i have to work sometimes 20:42:04 didn't we have a stable time at 22 CET and 22 CEST instead of UTC? 20:42:12 that seems a bit too soon for me honestly 20:42:16 robyduck: yes. 20:42:27 robyduck, that's also an option 20:42:40 i don't want to block anything here, because much ealier times will conflict with office/work times 20:43:17 I am reall ybad with timezones and switches and....I remember just 22:00 always was meeting time, but it depends on the majority 20:43:18 I'm also flexible on the timing, however I don't know if moving it would yield in more ambassadors being here 20:43:23 lupinix: same here. 20:43:30 can we put some sort of long-term vote to get as many ambassadors opinions as we can? 20:43:39 Yeah, the time change bit us in the past :D 20:44:06 We could vote now, or put the vote somewhere else (pagure issue?) 20:44:21 So that everyone can vote, until the next meeting 20:44:28 * jwf wonders if a WhenIsGood is a helpful option 20:44:28 robyduck: and that's why I wasn't here form the start 20:44:35 Vote somewhere else, please - to catch also other people. 20:44:39 mhroncok: same here :) 20:44:41 because I expected 22:00 CET/CEST whatever 20:44:51 and two times I arrived after it....lol 20:44:57 mrunge: 21 CET, 22 CEST ;) 20:45:08 eh mhroncok, sorry, mrunge. 20:45:11 jwf, that's a good options, but we only want ambassadors to vote, maybe pagure is easier to see who voted 20:45:21 jwf, and so people can explain why or why not 20:45:34 +1 to pagure 20:46:04 mitzie, can we make another project in pagure, something like internal 20:46:15 nmilosev: In the past when I've put out WhenIsGood polls, I've only had people who were intended to participate fill in info (in fact, it's hard to get responses :D ), but whatever is easiest for folks, I have no qualms 20:46:20 So we can put documents, and votes in it, things like that 20:46:27 +1 for paguew 20:46:32 pagure... wow :D 20:46:38 nmilosev: not just explain, but you will get more people voting on it probably 20:46:54 +1 to pagure 20:47:07 We could put it in the request project, although it really doesn't have much to do with it :D 20:47:43 Okay, I will figure it out with mitzie later on, and let you all know where are voting - with a ready link 20:47:43 We can make a new one and name "tasks" 20:48:03 Oh, you are here 20:48:05 the NA Ambassadors have something similar I believe 20:48:10 yeah, sorry for the delay 20:48:11 That seems excellent 20:48:38 cool, I can do that 20:48:44 mitzie: We use it for all of our issues (requests and general tickets), so I think something similar could work well if we make it part of the meeting workflow 20:48:52 It will be private, or private? 20:49:05 :) 20:49:08 * jwf feels like public is preferred 20:49:25 In the new one we could have tickets for pretty much everything else (except swag and funding requests) 20:49:25 It can be public, so you don't have to add everyone 20:49:36 That works, right? 20:49:41 mitzie, exactly 20:50:06 nmilosev: They would be automatically added, since all ambassadors are in the group 20:50:15 Oh, that we can do it either way 20:50:42 So we just need to see the options: (a) 21:00 UTC (b) 22:00 UTC (c) 22:00 CEST 20:50:45 I prefer to be public to be honest, but I believe that if it is public, everyone will be able to comment (even non Ambassadors) 20:51:14 *I prefer the repo to be set to public 20:51:26 mitzie: In the past, it's been this way for anyone with a FAS account on Trac, as far as I'm aware. 20:51:29 * pingou notes that FAS groups aren't synced to pagure automatically 20:51:53 jwf: I see 20:52:14 I will set it to public for now 20:52:20 Plus, every once in a while, there might be non-Ambassador but active Fedora contributors (e.g. Design or Marketing) who may comment or have input to share 20:52:40 +1 for public 20:52:58 +1 for public 20:53:02 +1 for public 20:53:03 +1 for public 20:53:37 +1 public 20:53:37 +1 20:54:07 mitzie, can you please write to the ML after making the repo and the ticket? 20:54:14 +1 public 20:54:14 and feel free to ping me if you need help :) 20:54:17 sure :) 20:54:27 Awesome! 20:54:55 #info 2. nmilosev to migrate trac to new pagure.io repository 20:55:09 #info mitzie completed the migration: https://pagure.io/group/ambassadors-emea 20:55:14 :) 20:55:24 #topic Open Floor 20:55:28 Anything goes here. 20:55:59 again thank you to mhroncok for his fedora python efforts! 20:56:05 especially https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PythonClassroomLab is a nice one 20:56:21 will help us to promote fedora at universities for example 20:56:23 lupinix: hopefully we will make it in time 20:56:27 mhroncok++ 20:56:32 should have been testavble yesterday 20:56:37 Oh wow, this is really great idea! 20:56:53 we are moving to python here and fedora as a ready to go system is always a nice arguement 20:57:05 mhroncok: feel free to ping me if you need help 20:57:08 For anyone interested in following along, here are today's FAmSCo meeting minutes: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-2/2017-03-01/famsco.2017-03-01-15.00.html 20:57:38 lupinix: thanks, but now it's mostly about waiting 20:57:50 waiting for what? 20:58:05 good weather :) 20:58:07 :D 20:58:35 releng magic to happen 20:58:44 composes? 20:59:05 yes 20:59:17 that should be straight forward 20:59:26 #info If you have not been added to the ambassadors-emea group in pagure, ping me or someone else to add you 20:59:52 i'm doing the same for new lxqt spin, after push to fedora-kickstarts and filing a ticket @releng pagure builds where available at next day 21:02:13 nmilosev: did you already mention the 10% budget spending? 21:02:23 robyduck, yes in the announcements 21:02:57 ok, sorry, I was late today and didn't see that. Thanks 21:03:14 one other thing (for FAmSCo members): can you write some announcement/statement on vacant seat story? some people are still waiting for something official to know what was going on 21:03:16 thanks :) 21:03:40 or is there something and i missed it? 21:04:09 I think we did that already. 21:04:31 where? 21:04:46 in our request on the ML 21:05:02 s/our/your 21:06:12 hmm, i don't find a mail (looking for something after last weeks famsco meeting) 21:06:38 well, I know the result as i followed the famsco meeting. but some people are asking 21:07:13 also to have a final end of that story 21:07:27 it's all there, all the sources, decisions, and reasons. I think we should move forward instead of going back to something which has been already beaten to death. 21:08:35 i know, my idea was some short statement. but that's up to FAmSCo 21:09:19 lupinix: can you tell me for what? To have another 20 posts ML discussion afterwards? 21:10:29 to avoid the thing that some people think FAmSCo hides things (yes, i know everything is open)… i discussed that on mailing list, it's just an idea to demonstrate "we are open and hide nothing" 21:10:44 but as i said, up to FAmSCo 21:10:45 eof 21:11:56 lupinix: people who think that will not change their mind even if we write a book on that. 21:12:28 but we are bocking a meeting here 21:12:34 blocking* 21:13:42 If everyone agrees, I will end the meeting in three (3) minutes. Feel free to continue the discussion afterwards. :) 21:13:58 nmilosev thanks for chairing 21:14:01 nmilosev++ 21:14:05 thanks nmilosev 21:14:08 nmilosev++ 21:14:13 nmilosev++ 21:14:13 robyduck: Karma for nmilosev changed to 15 (for the f25 release cycle): https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any 21:14:14 Pleasure talking to you all, as always!
