18:31:35 igorps, all were wireless except the broadcast that was wired 18:32:46 The wireless connection should cover all venue rooms and spaces used for FUDCon 18:33:00 IMHO this is more important than the speed itself 18:33:31 the wireless is on all venue rooms and the villas 18:34:06 #info Wireless connection is available in all venue rooms and the villas 18:34:16 good to know aeperezt 18:34:28 this is essential for the event 18:34:47 aeperezt: keep us updated as well 18:34:53 moving on 18:34:53 ok 18:35:17 #topic Create content survey to find out local community expectations 18:35:36 tatica: Any updates on this?

You can just update the task and I'll be informed 18:44:02 We will have a booklet with 3 different languages or 3 different booklets for each language? 18:44:24 igorps, also, I think I can do some changes to "make it fit" 18:45:15 #action tatica to check space requirement for hackfest description 18:46:07 usually Portuguese and Spanish descriptions are a bit longer than English 18:46:44 so it would be nice to know it so I can write inside a limit considering all languages 18:47:03 igorps, rewarding the portuguese version, I think it will not be abilable 18:47:55 aeperezt: It would be nice to have at least a few 18:48:26 even if only available online 18:48:42 igorps, of cource it will be nice to have, but the cost of printing is an issue 18:48:55 igorps, online should not be a problem 18:49:57 So we will have both English and Spanish versions, separated right? 18:50:23 right 18:50:35 * dgilmore thinks we can skip english 18:50:57 :) 18:51:11 dgilmore: Do you think we can skip English and put Brazilian Portuguese in? 18:51:20 use portugese and spanish 18:51:27 igorps: yeah 18:51:27 +1 18:51:50 english is not native anywhere in latam 18:52:16 #idea Have a booklet only in Spanish and Portuguese 18:52:29 there will only likely be me and toshio that are not strong with spanish or portugese 18:52:50 18:52:54 dgilmore: there is some places in latam native english speakers 18:53:03 dgilmore: not quite... there are some native english and even french and some other langs in the region... but dont expect them to be there ;) 18:53:34 dgilmore: I'm sure we can provide the same information in English online though 18:53:37 there is nobody else from NA with an open ticket? 18:54:00 amonthoth: gomix-fricky: you learn something new every day :) 18:54:04 let me ask, is not english the international fedora language, isn't it ? 18:54:06 Yeah maybe in Suriname 18:54:12 trinidad tobajo 18:54:18 igorps: online english translations are fine 18:54:20 guadalupe... 18:54:26 i dont think we need to print it 18:54:42 dgilmore: great! 18:54:49 amonthoth: english is the native fedora language, 18:54:49 in fact 18:54:55 with spanish should be enough 18:55:01 at tempe they only did the local language 18:55:11 amonthoth: using it in online versions is great. i just dont think we need to print it up 18:55:17 from bazil we won't have so many people either 18:55:19 aeperezt: we won't need a lot of Portuguese versions as well, just enough for Brazilian attendees 18:55:47 dgilmore, so english for native fedora language and spanish because the country native language 18:55:54 I think that there won't be so many people from brazil to have another language 18:55:56 i really only expect spanish audience.... 18:56:11 amonthoth: sure, 18:56:28 igorps, that is one thing 18:56:31 if people dont think we need portugese versions im ok with spansih only in print 18:56:37 we can do all 3 on the web 18:56:46 dgilmore, +1 18:57:00 dgilmore, +1 18:57:02 If you guys can print a pt_BR version it would be nice, if not, I'm ok with having it online together with english 18:57:32 I just wonder why we need a .br version if the event will be held in a spanish country 18:57:42 how many people will be at panama from brazil? 1-5? top? 18:57:53 if we print spanish and English I think must Brazilians that will come can read English, unless you can warranty that 20 brazilians will come that is another matter 18:58:03 we can have 10br and 10en just for them, I think 18:58:18 tatica: sounds good to me 18:58:25 even less 18:58:27 5-5 18:58:43 * dgilmore will use spansih versions 18:59:00 btw, we should encourage more NA people to open tickets 18:59:00 If this is possible would be great 18:59:01 * dgilmore can not type 18:59:13 tatica: open tickets in what way? 18:59:21 dgilmore: You will learn a lot ;) 19:00:08 I'm ok with 5-5 approach 19:00:26 dgilmore, are invitations for NA people the same way than from LATAM? 19:00:43 tatica: Do you have either specific people or specific roles/talks that you're looking for? 19:00:46 I mean.. everyone open a ticket and after that, according with the budget, is decided who go 19:00:54 #idea Print most booklets in Spanish and have a small amount in English and Portuguese 19:00:55 abadger1999, not at all, maybe after the survey 19:00:59 19:01:07 but if there is more variety, will be better 19:01:08 right? 19:01:13 tatica: invitations in what way? for people to attend? 19:01:49 I didn't say invitation 19:01:52 I said ticket 19:02:02 a ticket doesn't say that you go or wont 19:02:39 tatica: sorry i focussed to much on 19:00 < tatica> dgilmore, are invitations for NA people the same way than from LATAM? 19:02:53 yes, my mistake 19:03:15 but the invitation is done after fill a ticket, right? 19:03:56 We might have some people Europe too, that's why an English version is a nice to have 19:03:56 tatica: yeah. step 1 is file a ticket 19:04:01 thats true for everyone 19:04:02 I think we need to check the survey and then we can decide if we may need to invite some one from NA for specific topic that cannot be cover by a closer Latam contributor 19:04:11 +1 19:04:32 aeperezt: +1 19:04:47 let's wait for the survey 19:04:53 :) 19:04:57 +1 19:04:59 aeperezt: yeah, if there is something we really want to cover and we need to bring people in from outside latam we should look into that, when we know what knowledge it is we want to share 19:06:04 I think we should use this fudcon to make ceam stronger 19:06:19 and that means bring people from ceam, and then think in the rest 19:06:35 tatica: what is ceam? 19:06:44 central america... 19:06:55 IMHO providing budget for local contributors should be priority 19:06:55 sorry for my ignorance 19:07:06 igorps: i agree 19:07:09 exactly 19:07:13 dgilmore: LATAM's subdivisions ;) 19:07:50 * dgilmore would like to see over 100 people at FUDCon LATAM 19:08:07 me too! 19:08:10 ok, anything else about the booklet?
