Meeting Summary

 * Agenda page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Meetings
 * Item #1
 * OSCON - BobJensen
 * The Conference Director for OSCON invited Fedora Project at 0 cost.  July 24-28, 2006
 * EvilBob: I have had NO feedback from Jack Aboutboul on this, I sent an email 2 weeks ago
 * EvilBob: I will contact Jack again via email, if that does not produce results I will call him action item
 * Item #2
 * Ambassadors Chroniclers - BobJensen
 * These will be folks who summarize Ambassadors activites week after week. BobJensen will put this as a task for himself  ASAP
 * lxmaier: EvilBob: do you still wish to pursue this?
 * lxmaier: if not, we can do two things,
 * lxmaier: 1) drop it altogether
 * lxmaier: 2) find a new foster father for it
 * EvilBob: lxmaier: If someone outside of FAMSCo is willing to take it up I will help and supervise
 * lxmaier: EvilBob: this is exactly how it should work, since we can't do all the work ourselves
 * nman64: We need to get someone writing for the Weekly Reports.
 * lxmaier: the chroniclers were supposed to write stuff, while the weekly report would be a compilation (selective) of what happened each month
 * EvilBob: nman64: I think the same person could do both tasks as they are releated
 * lxmaier: it's like many journalists and one monthly digest
 * lxmaier: EvilBob: yeah, like the project lead could compile the monthly report
 * lxmaier: and the project members would contribute short articles
 * lxmaier: EvilBob: so yeah, go forward and find a worthy lead for this initiative then :)
 * EvilBob: I will work over the neext week to see what I can do to find someone for this action item
 * Item #3
 * Personal CLA reminders - BobJensen
 * Bob will contact members personally and push them to sign the CLA and get more actively involved
 * lxmaier: which we kind of discussed above :)
 * EvilBob: lxmaier: I need to hook up with tchung and nman64 on this to see if we can "build a list" of people that need to be talked to  action item
 * Item #4
 * Budget update - MaxSpevack
 * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Budget
 * lxmaier: last edited 2006-04-21 13:27:39 by GregDeKoenigsberg
 * lxmaier: so okay, i will ping max about the budget
 * Aside Item
 * FAMSCo Task Group reports
 * lxmaier: i think we have reached the stage where we can switch to having the task group reports submitted weekly by email BEFORE the famsco meeting action item
 * Item #5
 * LinuxTag update - GregDeKoenigsberg
 * Will follow up with GeroldKassube and FlorianBrand for an event post-mortem
 * tchung: Well, as you know. He sent out a report by email but it was never posted on wiki.
 * tchung: so I took a liberty and posted on the wiki.
 * tchung: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LinuxTag/Report
 * lxmaier: in the future though, we do need to make sure the ambassadors follow through
 * lxmaier: i mean, it's in the conditions for reimbursement, to produce a report on the wiki
 * Item #6
 * Famsco re-election - RahulSundaram
 * Create a procedure for re-election of Famsco membership and set regular election schedule
 * lxmaier: we will keep this on the list, but will not take any action until i guess august-september
 * nman64: That's still something that needs to be taken care of, but we'll largely be following in the footsteps of other projects.
 * lxmaier: we need the procedures, yes, but we have time, since we have just gotten elected
 * lxmaier: i agree with all this, but this is a non-urgent issue. like "important, but not urgent"
 * lxmaier: by end of september we better have something in place, and the rotation schedule would be part of this.
 * lxmaier: i will ping mether on this issue and see what he says action item
 * Item #7
 * Schwag guidelines - Schwag/Events task group
 * Create a set of guidelines to distribute schwag and to produce it locally, in line with Reimbursement guidelines
 * lxmaier: we still have no guidelines
 * EvilBob: and as a group we have had very little team discussion
 * EvilBob: this is going to have to change if our groups will be of value
 * Item #8
 * Fedora privacy protection  AlexMaier
 * Disiplinary measures for members who share their address books with third-party services  June 15, 2006
 * lxmaier: i will write the guidelines and publish them on the famsco list by june 15 action item
 * nman64: Something key with this: it really only affects the mailing list. Ambassadors can't share all other ambassador's addresses easily.
 * nman64: It's only happened a couple of times, and this last one was an admitted error.
 * EvilBob: I don't think any current ambassadros will make the same error
 * lxmaier: nman64: we need to mention this somewhere, in case they do not know what actions like this may entail
 * tchung: Well, best place will be "Code of Conduct" wiki page.
 * lxmaier: nman64: i'll whip up something short and sweet in about a week. if you all will like it, we'll post it. action item
 * Task Group Reports
 * lxmaier: task group reports will follow by email.
 * lxmaier: due in 36 hours.
 * lxmaier: next time round, we'll have the reports in *before* the meeting action item
