And if there is one, let's open it to sort it out. 15:13:37 <mailga> IMO the reasons have to be really strong and accurate. I want FAmSCo will decide without any doubt. 15:14:10 * robyduck nods 15:15:05 <robyduck> #action robyduck will reply in the ticket and resend a reminder to the mentors list 15:15:34 * mailga would avoid dozen of requests to firing mantors.... 15:15:38 <mailga> EOF 15:16:03 <robyduck> mailga: sure, but I don't expect too many 15:16:50 <robyduck> we need mentors, and we don't want to reduce their number. We just want to have them active. 15:17:32 <robyduck> if anyone is not active, it is better to replace him with fresh blood and motivation 15:17:34 <mailga> robyduck: I'd like to protect mentors as far as they are doing their job. 15:18:08 <robyduck> +1 15:18:12 <mailga> but I'm not in the position to trust them, for now. I need feedbacks. 15:19:24 <robyduck> should I include anything else in my replies? 15:20:25 <mailga> robyduck: not from me, let's see. 15:20:35 <robyduck> ok 15:20:51 <robyduck> #topic Release parties and badges 15:21:08 <robyduck> I know Release parties are ongoing, and some already took place 15:21:28 <robyduck> I don't know if anyone is in charge to award the badges 15:21:59 <jonatoni> we can give permission to event organizers 15:22:06 <robyduck> IIRC all of us have the permissions to award them, so it's better if we choose one of us 15:22:21 <robyduck> jonatoni: no, we award them to them 15:23:00 <jonatoni> ah okay 15:23:40 * robyduck found it 15:23:41 <robyduck> https://pagure.io/Fedora-Badges/issue/546 15:23:58 <robyduck> https://pagure.io/Fedora-Badges/issue/546#comment-448294 15:24:10 <robyduck> oooh, that's me!! hu! 15:24:45 <robyduck> can anyone take this? 15:25:05 <jonatoni> I can help if you want 15:25:18 <robyduck> we need to check if the event is listed in the wiki and has a report 15:25:27 <jonatoni> yep 15:26:01 <robyduck> jonatoni: thanks 15:26:44 <robyduck> jonatoni: https://pagure.io/Fedora-Badges/issue/546#comment-449307 15:26:49 <Kohane> Hi! 15:26:50 <robyduck> :) 15:26:55 <Kohane> Sorry for my absence 15:27:00 <robyduck> hi Kohane 15:27:03 <Kohane> .fas lailah 15:27:04 <zodbot> Kohane: lailah 'Sylvia Sánchez' <BHKohane@gmail.com> 15:27:11 <jonatoni> thanks robyduck 15:27:30 <Kohane> Hi robyduck 15:27:34 <robyduck> thanks to you for your help 15:28:08 <robyduck> I think the rest is going on fine for RP, right? 15:28:42 <jonatoni> I have a ticket that needs to be reviewed by us 15:29:00 <jonatoni> because on their meetings were not enough people to approve it 15:29:17 <jonatoni> and the release party it's on saturday 15:29:27 <jonatoni> https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issue/269 15:29:45 <jonatoni> and if we agree with it we can approve this ticket 15:30:36 <Kohane> I just read it. I'm +1 for that 15:30:45 <robyduck> #topic Release Party Bangalore 15:31:10 <giannisk> Would that be 150 USD in total? 15:31:16 <robyduck> jonatoni: don't they have regional meetings? 15:31:57 <Kohane> It should be APAC but I'm not sure if there held any meetings recently 15:32:00 <robyduck> I am also not aware of their regional budget status 15:32:08 <Kohane> if they* Sorry 15:32:14 <jonatoni> I haven't seen any logs yet but AFAIK they don't have enough people to attend their meetings 15:33:03 <Kohane> jonatoni: That's sad. 15:33:05 <jonatoni> and they haven't sponsored any release party until now 15:33:06 <robyduck> https://budget.fedoraproject.org/FY18/apac.html 15:33:07 <jonatoni> for F26 15:34:46 <robyduck> so for now they have left some budget from the first quarter, but 150$ is too much. A release party shouldn't be more than 100$, and even less if we are talking about APAC countries (at least most of them) 15:36:01 <robyduck> jonatoni: I think we don't need to vote about it, you can approve it as FAmSCo member and give them a limit of how much to spend. 15:36:12 <robyduck> giannisk: mailga: any opinions? 15:36:19 <Kohane> TBH, I don't know the prices in Bangalore. Does anyone has an idea? 15:37:03 <mailga> no opinion from me. 15:37:22 <robyduck> izhar is the treasurer and CC holder, we should include him in any kind of communication 15:37:25 <giannisk> I'd like to see some further effort from the organizer's side 15:37:42 <giannisk> I mean, there's not even an event agenda - what are they going to present? 15:37:48 <giannisk> How many people do they expect? 15:37:48 <Kohane> robyduck: It would be useful to have a reference price to compare with, to know if this average, epxensive or what. 15:38:29 <giannisk> "A couple of presentations (at max 60 mins)" doesn't justify anything, it's too vague. 15:38:48 <Kohane> Yes, that's true. 15:38:52 <jonatoni> giannisk when I talked with him he said that last year they had 80+ people 15:39:13 <robyduck> giannisk: seems they have talks 15:39:18 <jonatoni> I will talk with him to add an agenda 15:39:23 <giannisk> Okay, sorry, my bad, there's a separate topic named "Schedule". 15:39:31 <giannisk> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F26_Bangalore_India#Schedule 15:39:35 <robyduck> even on Boltrom and modularity, which is where we are moving to 15:39:35 <giannisk> Just noticed that. 15:40:26 <robyduck> jonatoni: if you feel better let's make that quick 15:40:34 <robyduck> +1 with max 100$ from my side 15:40:51 <robyduck> they have budget and Bangalore is a good plave for a RP 15:40:57 <jonatoni> +1 15:41:14 <giannisk> +1 for $100 15:41:36 <mailga> IMO 100$ aren't diccult to find. +1 from me also to max 100$. 15:41:48 <Kohane> +1 15:41:49 <mailga> s/diccult/difficult 15:42:23 <robyduck> #agreed Release Party in Bangalore is approved for max 100$ 15:42:30 <robyduck> #action jonatoni will update the ticket 15:43:16 <robyduck> #topic Open floor 15:43:31 <robyduck> oh, unless you have anything else 15:44:21 <Kohane> Not from side... 15:44:34 <mailga> maybe the #430? 15:45:05 <robyduck> yes 15:45:27 <Kohane> mailga: Link? 15:45:33 <robyduck> if you have any opinions, thoughts, whatever, please add them to the mindshare ticket 15:45:39 <robyduck> whihc is #430 15:46:18 <mailga> Kohane: https://pagure.io/famsco/issue/430 15:46:29 <robyduck> it's private for now 15:46:37 <Kohane> Thank you! 15:46:43 <Kohane> Ouch! 15:46:49 <mailga> it's private at the moment, but we need some ideas. 15:46:54 <Kohane> I'm not in my laptop right now. 15:47:23 <nb> robyduck, i can't see ticket 430 15:47:26 <robyduck> additionally to that, FAD LATAM finished last week and there were some nice thoughts and requests we need to consider 15:47:37 <robyduck> nb: no, you can't for now 15:47:46 <x3mboy> ! 15:47:55 <nb> oh 15:48:31 <mailga> x3mboy: go ahead. 15:48:39 <robyduck> I found only this: http://www.winglemeyer.org/technology/2017/07/18/event-report-latam-org-fad/ 15:49:14 <x3mboy> mailga, Thanks 15:49:50 <mailga> robyduck: I'd like to get some infos also from the classroom program as well. It could be interesting. 15:49:53 <x3mboy> I attend the FAD Latam (my report will be out today), the final report for the FAD event owner should be ready this saturday. We have several nice thoughs, a lot of discussion 15:50:08 <x3mboy> And finally we probably solve some issues and improve some processes 15:50:26 <x3mboy> If you have a specific question, I can probably answer it 15:50:47 <robyduck> x3mboy: I got some positive feedback already and am looking forward to read your reports 15:51:24 <robyduck> we have some tickets, like swags or templates, you also discussed and where we can improve a lot indeed 15:51:44 <x3mboy> robyduck, Yes, also a lot of people os asking for them. It just that our flights back were hard 15:52:10 <robyduck> it is very possible your FAD can be a fisrt step into the direction we want to go while retooling the mabassador and mindshare process 15:52:38 <x3mboy> But please, give us some more days. This saturday all (reports, tickets and procedures) should be done and discussed in Latam Meeting 15:52:39 <mailga> x3mboy: good to know. I'm not aware about the FUDCON, I haven't followed the event, but when I'll read your report maybe some question will show up in my mind. In that case, can I ping you? 15:52:52 <robyduck> x3mboy: you live in LATAM and know that flights are always tricky :) 15:53:43 <robyduck> x3mboy: nobody is making pressure, but the earlier you write reports the more you remember what happened ;) 15:53:53 <x3mboy> mailga, when you need. I'm always on #fedora-latam (directly o through the telegram bridge) 15:54:45 <mailga> x3mboy: I think i could bother you also in the mktg channel... ;-) 15:54:46 <robyduck> x3mboy: thank you for giving us a direct feedback, it is very appreciated! 15:54:56 <x3mboy> robyduck, yes, I'm trying to push everybody to make the reports 15:55:21 <robyduck> that's great 15:55:29 <Kohane> mailga: FUDCON? I got lost. 15:55:43 <robyduck> Kohane: he wanted to say FAD I guess 15:55:44 <x3mboy> mailga, Yep, also there, but mktg doesn't have telegram bridge, so after office hours is hard to follow mktg channel 15:56:29 <Kohane> mailga: you can also bother x3mboy on Telegram xD 15:56:55 <x3mboy> Kohane, xD 15:57:01 <mailga> x3mboy: I'm thinking to erase telegram from my phone.....
