Great to hear that!! I'm open to change the meetings to any day/date people find it suitable, however, best way to push things is to start with them and not just talk about them. See you there tomorrow! 2016-03-09 13:30 GMT-04:30 Marina Zhurakhinskaya <marinaz(a)redhat.com>: > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Matthew Miller" <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> > > To: diversity(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > > Cc: ambassadors(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > > Sent: Wednesday, March 9, 2016 12:57:41 PM > > Subject: Re: Diversity Meeting - Tomorrow 12:30UTC > > > > On Wed, Mar 09, 2016 at 08:51:54AM -0430, María Leandro wrote: > > > Everyone is invited, hope to see you all there! > > > > Cool -- that's early for the workday in the US, but it happens to fit > > pretty well with dropping my kids off to school, so I'll plan to be > > there. > > Thank you for scheduling this!

Diversity Meeting - Tomorrow 12:30UTC
by María Leandro 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Hello all. As some of you might have heard, I've been AFK due personal reasons, yet, we are back on business. I need to thank you all for your understanding and support. In order to retrieve some of the lost time, I've moved the meeting for tomorrow at 12:30UTC [0] at the #Fedora-diversity channel. I would like to discuss the ideas already proposed, hear about yours and make plans to kickstart the efforts into making everyone feel comfortable within our community. Some of the topics we will discuss are: * Diversity Survey (we already have some ideas for the questions that we would like to discuss) * Reports (mostly based on our current contributors - how and when to gather) * Inclusion programs (please, if you are part of one or know some, don't forget to step by) * Your ideas!!! Everyone is invited, hope to see you all there!

EMEA Ambassadors Meeting Minutes 2016-03-02
by Giannis Konstantinidis 02 Mar '16

Hi fellow ambassadors, we've just had our regular EMEA meeting, it lasted about an hour and a half and 19 people attended. See the meeting minutes/full log below for more info: Minutes: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2016-03-02/emea_ambassador… Minutes (text): https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2016-03-02/emea_ambassador… Log: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2016-03-02/emea_ambassador… See you again in two weeks time. :) -Giannis -- Giannis Konstantinidis giannis(a)konstantinidis.cc http://konstantinidis.cc giannisk on irc.freenode.net

Marketing materials for Python events
by Jiri Eischmann 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Hi, as Matthew announced at DevConf.cz our primary marketing focus for this year are Python developers. In EMEA, we've reacted and increased the number of Python events in the list of planned events (several PyCons, planning to be at EuroPython again...), but I realized we're not ready for that at all, or at least I'm not aware of anything. We have no marketing materials. Miro created a "Fedora loves Python" sticker for Python CZ, but that's all we have in EMEA. Today, we were offered an opportunity to add our swag in conference bags at PyCon SK, but we don't have anything usable. Something like a flyer that explains why Fedora is the right system for a Python developer would be great. And it's not only about marketing materials, ambassadors should get instructions what to show Python developers, so that it won't end up like showcasing a la "hey, Fedora is cool, it has Firefox, LibreOffice,... and look it has windows just like Windows or Mac". So we would definitely need at least some talking points. Is it something that is already being worked on or we have to start it? If we spend a sizable amount of money to send people to Python conferences, we should get maximum out of it. Jiri

The Fedora Budget Website--Now in staging!
by Remy DeCausemaker 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

It's Alive! ======= After working for the past couple of weeks with the websites and infrastructure teams, I'm pleased to share with you all https://budget.stg.fedoraproject.org/ Thank you nb, robyduck, nirik, puiterwijk, and threebean for your patience and mentorship :) So now, budget stakeholders and leaders (Ambassadors, Council, and FAmSCo) you can visit the site and provide feedback and input. The actual budget numbers for this year ARE NOT ACTUALLY ZERO, so don't panic or anything, they just haven't been reported yet ;) When they are, I will update the website accordingly. Contributing to Budget.fp.o ===================== If you would like to help work on the budget site itself (PR's are certainly welcome) please join #fedora-websites on Freenode and talk to the team there first. The team is transitioning where our repositories are hosted, and are making some changes to the fedora-web workflow (while branching for F24-alpha.) In the future, you should be able to clone the source for the budget site (and the other Fedora Websites) at https://pagure.io/fedora-websites. ***WARNING*** Since our production environment is built from the master branch, be sure to be working in an alternate branch (git branch budget, for example) Starting now, you can file tickets for the budget site on the Fedora-websites repo on pagure: https://pagure.io/fedora-websites Budget Tracking -- Still a Regional Responsibility ====================================== I will be relying on ambassadors to be tracking your expenditures (like you always have) so I can be updating the budget numbers section on a quarterly basis, with reimbursements depending on event reports from regional delegates. I will help report your budgets on http://budget.fedoraproject.org (coming soon), but it is still up to the REGIONS to keep as budget is spent. The good news though, is that now you have The Community Operations (CommOps) team here to help support publishing event reports and gathering and reporting metrics. Budget Data and Files ================= When there are working budget documents, data, and information fit for public consumption, I have created a new repo for sharing such files at: https://pagure.io/budget (it is mostly empty for now, but feel free to start putting your proposed budgets there if you have them Ambassadors.) There is in the plans (but not yet implemented) the idea that we can use webhooks or other git-magic to have the budget numbers and contacts on budget.fp.o update automatically based on the data in this repo, but that will likely be a feature for v2.0. For now, I'm OK with starting manually until we hammer out the details and settle on a process. Regional Delegates =============== I would like to start adding all the Regional Delegate selections to our staging instance in preparation for the site hitting production in the next week or two, starting now. So, if your region has chosen delegates already, you can respond here with their names and email addresses, and I will add them to the site. Alternatively, you could also file tickets on the budget repo in pagure, (or file pull requests updating your regional delegation's .yaml file) and I will merge/close them as I update the site. ***The budget process is going to move quickly from here, so Ambassadors please have your delegation choices sent to me, filed into tickets, or included in a pull-request by Friday March 4th.*** Budget.next and The Future ====================== I'm excited to help Ambassadors and Project Leadership bring more transparency to the budget process--one of my core charters as the first ever Fedora Community Lead. I am hopeful we can develop a process that will improve reimbursement turn-around, while creating metrics on action and impact we can use to strategically adjust and improve our financial situation in the future. Looking Forward, --RemyD. P.S. - I've cc'd a number of public lists in this email, so take special care when replying to this post. -- Remy DeCausemaker Fedora Community Lead & Council <decause(a)redhat.com> https://whatcanidoforfedora.org
