This is useful information for knowing what's going on in Fedora and a long-term objective that is being worked on. 02:07:29 #link https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-council-update-modularization-objective/ 02:07:40 And then -- 02:08:26 #info The Fedora Magazine published an article called "Beginner's guide to IRC". This is a useful resource for helping new contributors / Ambassadors getting started, or even helping current Ambassadors become more comfortable with IRC. 02:08:28 #link https://fedoramagazine.org/beginners-guide-irc/ 02:08:32 That's all from me. 02:09:27 thank you jflory7, some good information 02:09:42 No problem! 02:09:47 #topic === Tickets === 02:09:59 #link https://fedorahosted.org/famna/report/9 02:10:10 take a second to review the tickets 02:11:06 .famnaticket 119 02:11:07 award3535: #119 (OSCON 2016 booth) – FAmNA general trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/119 02:11:36 Is there any new information about this ticket with the budget? 02:11:44 If I recall, that's where we left off on this last time? 02:13:03 I think this should be pushed to next month. There is no volunteer to run the event for Fedora. We have a few ambassadors in the area, we need to see if one of them would like to coordinate the event, such as masta, or danoftx 02:13:23 this event is in may 2016 02:13:58 if there is no volunteer, I will take the event, but I think we need to offer it to those already in the area 02:14:16 +1 02:14:19 +1 02:14:34 +1 02:14:39 Is there a deadline for when the contracting process needs to be done? 02:14:41 I will be able to assist but I cannot run it. I have other things i need to work on first. 02:15:17 #agreed to hold off until Feb and offer up to local ambassadors first 02:16:27 jflory7 ruth is taking care of the money aspect for the booth PO required and she is already taking care of that, we just need to figure out who is going and what expenses they will need 02:16:38 * linuxmodder 02:16:54 Okay, I see - thanks for that info. 02:16:54 #chair linuxmodder 02:16:54 Current chairs: award3535 jflory7 jsandsy linuxmodder wrnash 02:17:30 Hiya, linuxmodder! 02:17:32 .famnaticket 121 02:17:33 award3535: #121 ("Year in Review" - FAmNA retrospective) – FAmNA general trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/121 02:18:14 I have completed the write up for this ticket and will add pictures then get it to jflory7 for posting 02:18:36 Awesome! 02:19:53 Ok, that is it for tonight with tickets, things just around the corner, HackRU, OSCON, TXLF, and SELF 02:20:01 moving on to 02:20:03 #topic == Open Floor === 02:20:58 Only thing I could think to talk about right now would be Campus Ambassadors, since linuxmodder is around. 02:21:23 sure, that is a good idea 02:21:40 I'm honestly mor e out thatn here 02:23:13 No worries. I guess the one question I have is what your plans were for the article in the Community Blog, linuxmodder. I haven't looked at it very recently, but I wasn't sure if it was something you wanted to coordinate on or if it was ready for editing. 02:23:45 I think the best thing we can do to get Campus Ambassadors back on our maps is identifying the first step to take towards this goal. 02:24:22 jflory7 i sent linuxmodder my input a couple of weeks ago, I know that he was working on it 02:24:30 * jflory7 nods 02:25:05 There's a draft started in the Community Blog now, but I hadn't seen any other updates on it. 02:25:24 In the meanwhile, we can use that article as a first jumping-off point. 02:25:27 Campus stuff needs some love 02:25:42 Might be best to discuss it when we have larger attendance from those at SCaLE too. 02:25:47 and define it via difference with Ambadassador 02:25:54 I could make a ticket for this as a reminder to discuss it at the next meeting. 02:26:09 MarkDude: As far as I know, some of that framework still is in place from when it first existed, right? 02:26:10 Ask Bierte for his experiences with it too 02:26:10 sure that is a great idea jflory7 02:26:14 Yes 02:26:17 I will make a ticket for it now. 02:26:30 bierte is willing to help pass, offered to help with some feedback 02:26:41 +1 02:26:50 #chair MarkDude 02:26:50 Current chairs: MarkDude award3535 jflory7 jsandsy linuxmodder wrnash 02:27:08 Having a roadmap with it would help- there was mission creep- ans a shift 02:27:16 sp ans and 02:27:35 There were no objections as far as restarts 02:27:47 Just more a re-frame, and make some use casses 02:28:34 The current events that have Campus elements for example, there is a growth with Campus, as well as allowing for a 'Friends of Fedora thing' that fits there easily 02:29:26 MarkDude sounds like you have some experience with the program as well 02:29:40 Keeping Fedora as almost the purpose of a LUG in additon for a campus, and that makes a good use case for making future contribs, and not needing the ultimate goal being Ambassador only 02:29:42 Yep 02:29:52 As well as askign bierte about it 02:29:59 He had lack of time mostly 02:30:30 We had some use cases, but it seems we could better fit it in now with next. Too much shft last time we looked 02:30:32 IMO 02:30:44 Could be awesome part of Next 02:30:56 Feel free to include me. 02:30:57 eof 02:31:38 I proposed many things with getting more local college students involved, they were not aware of any LUGs and how they could get involved, seemed the information flow just stopped 02:33:05 the questions also came up about costs involved to the student, once I said there is no cost to attend free meetings and events, and being part of the group Fedora it peaked some interest 02:34:09 Ticket is created. https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/123 02:34:26 but a ticket that will carry our discussions is what we need, thank you jflory7 02:34:31 is there something we can post at the local college to inform the students about the meetings. 02:35:56 wrnash, that is the problem that i ran into, most administrations do not want solicitation, but would entertain clubs and organizations within the confines of their rules 02:36:04 I'm at TCU and Texas Weslan all the time for Scuba classes. I will be willing to post information. 02:36:37 wrnash you can give it a try, the worst they could tell you is no 02:36:50 ok 02:37:30 I've been trying to come up with creative ways to appeal to other students here at RIT, but it's tricky 02:38:02 I know there's the big event BrickHack in March that could be a good time for university outreach 02:38:57 cydrobolt expressed interest in the idea of going as a Fedora Ambassador, and I'd love to get involved too - but planning an event isn't something quite under my experience belt yet, although I'd be interested in being involved... just not necessarily alone. 02:39:01 I have tried approaching the technical directors and computer science directors to see if there is any interest in a demonstration or interest in Linux, but again its tough 02:39:06 Hey 02:39:19 jflory7, HackRU is also coming up 02:39:27 If you'd like to participate there, I'll almost certainly be there 02:40:24 cydrobolt: Are there dates for the Spring hackathon yet? 02:40:59 #link http://hackru.org/ 02:42:33 cydrobolt: I would be interested in attending with you, given the opportunity. :) 02:42:40 Around April 02:43:09 Exact date is still TBD, but around April should be when it will occur 02:44:00 Okay, that would actually work well for me. We can discuss specifics about HackRU once more information is up. 02:44:19 I'll keep my eye out on it too. 02:45:21 Anything else for open floor? 02:45:29 not from me 02:45:46 nothing on my side 02:46:02 next meeting will be 28 Jan 2016 9 pm east 02:46:16 +1 02:46:34 +1 02:46:35 see everyone next week 02:46:37 everyone have a good evening..... 02:46:42 #endmeeting
