19:22:05 <jonatoni> #topic Events
19:22:11 <jonatoni> Any events happening near you? Would you like to report from some event that you've been to?
19:22:40 <lupinix> yes, you already mentioned it: FrOSCon  ~2 weeks ago
19:22:53 <thunderbirdtr> !
19:23:39 <jonatoni> lupinix: yeah - and thanks for the report
19:23:47 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: yes
19:23:51 <lupinix> was quite nice, bookwar, tyll and raphgro attended and helped with the booth
19:24:15 <thunderbirdtr> I'm trying to contact Istanbul Hackerspace and If I can I wanna setup some small but good event over there as well but my custom and my country position(mostly politics sadly but yeah) making me hard position as well on request parts what is the possibility make some stuff in here (some fliers and etc)
19:24:20 <jonatoni> lupinix: yeah, bookwar sent us a photo of the booth :)
19:25:20 <thunderbirdtr> eof*
19:25:22 <thunderbirdtr> sorry
19:25:26 <lupinix> thunderbirdtr: expecting issues with shipment of swag etc?
19:25:37 <thunderbirdtr> It happened 3 times before
19:25:41 <thunderbirdtr> I tried 2 routes
19:25:43 <thunderbirdtr> Istanbul routes
19:25:45 <thunderbirdtr> and Samsun routes
19:25:47 <thunderbirdtr> both failed
19:25:48 <lupinix> :(
19:25:52 <thunderbirdtr> 2 times  Samsun*
19:25:54 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: is there something that we can help with? for example with the swag
19:26:15 <thunderbirdtr> If I can setup I prefer "personal shipments" with gift tag and etc
19:26:29 <thunderbirdtr> because they think they all legit OS and asking M$ OS prices
19:27:20 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: probably we can talk with bex about this
19:27:33 <jonatoni> and see if we can find a solution
19:27:45 <thunderbirdtr> Both routes came with "Redhat" way It is all awesome and cool but It is company and they think it is commercial as well also I don't what our options for "payback" because "paypal" also blocked !
19:28:30 <thunderbirdtr> My last events was in Serbia and I asked to give one of our fellow ambassadors to through to me and done but Turkey blocked that part as well which is shutting me out
19:29:21 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: lately we have used also Transferwise instead of Paypal
19:29:34 <jonatoni> probably that option can work for you
19:29:37 <jonatoni> but not sure :/
19:29:44 <thunderbirdtr> transferwire is fine
19:29:49 <thunderbirdtr> I'm okey with it :)
19:30:01 <jonatoni> oh, great
19:30:32 <jonatoni> then I would suggest you to open a ticket and request swag - also mentioning the problem you have so we can see how to solve it
19:32:02 <jonatoni> Any other event that is coming?
19:32:40 <thunderbirdtr> okay then it is cool for me
19:32:41 <thunderbirdtr> thank you so much !
19:32:44 <thunderbirdtr> EOF
19:32:59 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: you'r welcome :)
19:33:10 <lupinix> thunderbirdtr++ thanks for trying to setup the event!

19:37:53 <jonatoni> ^^
19:38:00 <jonatoni> lupinix: yes
19:38:10 <thunderbirdtr> jonatoni, Page not found (404)**
19:38:34 <lupinix> at froscon we distributed the beginners guide (i cannot find it online in hurry…), which is in english. some people asked whether we also have this in german. what is your experience with that? are people asking for local translations?
19:38:34 <jonatoni> thunderbirdtr: it a private repo, mitzie need to add you there
19:39:36 <jonatoni> lupinix: I know that people prefer local translations, that's why would be a good idea to translate it and print it in your local language
19:40:12 <jonatoni> lupinix: especially when the event is only in German for example, it's easier to have it in German
19:40:54 <lupinix> well events are mostly in english and german here, but some people (especially older than ~40) were asking
19:41:36 <jonatoni> lupinix: yeah, I know - that's why I think would be great to translate it
19:41:50 <jonatoni> but in big events like FOSDEM - we need them in English
19:41:55 <lupinix> yes
19:43:24 * lupinix has to check how to translate
19:43:37 <jonatoni> lupinix: probably they will add it on Zanata
19:44:42 <jonatoni> lupinix: sesivany has more info about it
19:45:43 <jonatoni> Anything else we want to discuss now?
19:45:54 <lupinix> nothing else here
19:46:21 <lupinix> (except the last required vote on ticket :P)
19:46:55 <jonatoni> lupinix: yeah, one more vote is needed - ping mitzie and others to vote
19:47:09 <mitzie> I just did
