| fugolini | mh, ok, just a minute (hoping someone else will join us) | |
| fugolini | ok, we can start! | |
| fugolini | First of all: call roll | |
| fugolini | FrancescoUgolini | |
| fabian_a | FabianAffolter | |
| iWolf | JeffreyTadlock | |
| spevack | Max spevack | |
| fugolini | First topic: Budget | |
| fugolini | As you can see | |
| fugolini | Max posted in the list all the details about | |
| spevack | hopefully not too much more to say | |
| fugolini | FY Q3 | |
| spevack | i think we're all set for Q3 budget | |
| spevack | any questions or comments? | |
| fugolini | spevack: only a question: | |
| spevack | Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Budget | |
| spevack | fugolini: yep? | |
| fugolini | i know it's too early, but for Q4, we have to find a way to better distribute money, I just made some charts | |
| spevack | i'm open to any new idea | |
| fugolini | and I saw event are growing exponentially, that's good, but | |
| fugolini | or we lower budget or we have to focus on certain events, and try to help with alternative way other ones | |
| spevack | fugolini: there were many events added after the August 1 deadline for funding, even with all my reminders. i feel bad for those people, but if we fund everything, then each event almost gets nothing | |
| fugolini | in fact, this was a good way to filter, but there are still a lot of events and budget is not infinite | |
| fugolini | but, meanwhile, I personally want to read q3 events report :) | |
| fugolini | Any other questions? | |
| fabian_a | just one input: i think that it's possible to pass a part of the money from OpenExpo to Athens Digital Week. the accommodation for OpenExpo will not need much money | |
| fugolini | great | |
| fugolini | Personally I think we are in the right way with budget. | |
| fugolini | eof | |
| fugolini | 2. Release events, i know it was in the 1 with budget but it quite different | |
| fugolini | I hope to organize a meeting with the release event owner | |
| fugolini | and understand the local status, moreover, I will be out starting from september 10th (not sure about it) due to a ship training | |
| spevack | fabian_a: yeah, i will work with Dimitris to handle Athens | |
| fabian_a | spevack: ok | |
| fugolini | I will send an email to Ambassadors list waiting for feedbacks. That's all | |
| fugolini | Suggestions? | |
| fugolini | ok | |
| fugolini | 3. Localization | |
| fugolini | I'm happy to say that the local groups activity is going on, | |
| fugolini | I didn't read the last NA meeting, but i'll do it soon | |
| fugolini | This is the most important space of the meeting | |
| fugolini | To FAmSCo members and who want to join this discussion: any update? | |
| * spstarr_work has quit ("the assimilation is complete, this machine goes Fedora now...") | ||
| fugolini | spevack: about media production, is the actual system working? | |
| fugolini | or better | |
| fugolini | sorry | |
| fugolini | We had a discussion in FAmSCo list about it. Can we handle media production budget for next Quarter (Q4) alongside event sponsorization | |
| spevack | fugolini: well | |
| spevack | fugolini: for media production, here is what we are currently trying: | |
| spevack | in North America, event owners are using an on-demand vendor, and they can spend part of their budget on media | |
| spevack | in EMEA, we have a really good producer at Red Hat Munich, and we can take a little bit from different event budgets to produce Media. | |
| fugolini | just because a big part of the budget is spent for media production and except for medium event, the smallest one don't need a lot of money if we give them media | |
| spevack | everywhere else, people are basically on their own | |
| spevack | fugolini: yep, you are right | |
| iWolf | NA is going to order in bulk. | |
| spevack | fugolini: i think it's working pretty well. people aren't complaining right now about not being able to get media, so that is a good sign | |
| spevack | and local people are handling the details. | |
| fugolini | yes, it was only to assure some concern about it that I found in some local meetings | |
| fugolini | but thanks a lot for the answer | |
| fugolini | Any other question/update/etc? | |
| fugolini | 3 | |
| fugolini | 2 | |
| fugolini | 1 | |
| fugolini | 4. Membership and more | |
| fugolini | First of all membership | |
| fugolini | there aren't relevant update about it. I want to personally thanks with fabian_a for his mails about m-l and irc | |
| fugolini | it's important to update periodically the users, just because sometimes someone forget the basic of the rules | |
| fugolini | joerg suggested, moreover, to work over a Membership rule etc. | |
| fabian_a | something from #fedora-ambassadors | |
| fabian_a | <delhage> something that I find annoying is all the "welcome to the family" etc replys to new ambassador intros. Nice, but can be sent as private e-mail | |
| fugolini | Yes, that's true, but it's quite complicated to ask people to make it, in the past we sent some advice but we can't stop those ones | |
| fugolini | Now, I want to ask all of you for advice about membership management | |
| fugolini | see Membership Administrators and newbie policy so that we will be able to write with the big help of Joerg a Ambassadors Membership policy draft | |
| fugolini | attention: nothing of this is about law or other, just a set of simple rules and way to prevent abusage | |
| fugolini | eof | |
| fugolini | Questions? | |
| fugolini | 3 | |
| fugolini | 2 | |
| fugolini | 1 | |
| fugolini | Now another small point, all agree to set fedora-ambassadors as our IRC channel in the FAS ? | |
| fugolini | for me is right, then if we will go back we will able to re-set this | |
| iWolf | it is fine with me | |
| fugolini | ok, so just do it :) ! | |
| fugolini | For today we have finished, have you other suggestions? | |
| spevack | no, nothing from me. | |
| * spevack is tired, the budget work has taken a long time :) | ||
| fugolini | So, thank you for your attention | |
| fugolini | == Meeting adjourned == | |
