About the FAS regional groups
by Athos Ribeiro 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

Hello Ambassadors, As some may know, there are a few FAS regional groups in Fedora, they are: fedora-ar fedora-br fedora-cl fedora-ec fedora-mx fedora-ni fedora-pa fedora-pr fedora-py fedora-uk fedora-ve With exception from fedora-uk, all of them refer to LATAM countries. Right now, there are several people in the fedora-br FAS group who are not in any other FAS group but CLA. I suspect that this is true for most of the other groups on the list. fedora-br currently has 101 members. I bet more than half are not in any other groups also, less than 25% are actually active AFAIK. When we add non-contributors to them, they get mail aliases, fedora people instances, right to edit wikis, etc. The only way these groups would be worth for anything would be if they were cleaned up every 6 months after a survey on the mailing lists. This way, we would be able to know who the ACTIVE contributors in a country are. I am willing to remove all the non contributors from this group, i.e.: if they are not CLA + other group, you cannot be part of these groups. my plan would be: A) 1 - remove non contributors 2 - survey with active brazilians 3 - politely email non active people and remove them from the group 4 - write the group purpose somewhere (wikipage) 5 - make active ambassadors sponsors of the group 6 - run the survey every 6 months(?) removing inactive ppl 7 - suggest all the other fedora-{region} groups do the same OR B) 1 - suggest deletion of all these groups After talking to some people, I am more inclined to going with plan B, since these groups are only in LATAM and UK and there are other means to map where contributors are from. Any thoughts? Also, is anyone using any of these groups for other purposes? -- Athos Ribeiro http://www.ime.usp.br/~athoscr

EMEA - Important information regarding reimbursements
by Zacharias Mitzelos 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Hello everyone, The following applies to EMEA only. As we move through the fourth and final quarter of fiscal 17, it's important to reimburse any remaining funding requests on time, so that we will use the allocated funds for these events from FY17 (our current fiscal year), and don't use funds from the next FY that can be used in other events, just because we didn't ask for reimbursement in time. For that reason I would like to ask everyone from EMEA that have open funding request tickets (that have not been reimbursed yet), to submit their receipts and assign the ticket to jsimon (the cardholder for EMEA) with a paypal address for reimbursement,* before January 20*. Although the quarter ends on February 28, it's important to complete the reimbursements by January 20, so that we can do proper budgeting and allocate any unused funds. Approved funding requests regarding events between January 20 and February 28 (like DevConf and FOSDEM) must be reimbursed before February 28, _as soon as the event is over_ (so please upload your receipts as soon as you have them). Unfortunately we can't reimburse people in advance before the event occurs. For reimbursements after January 20, please assign your ticket directly to bex, instead of jsimon. Also, if you plan to request funding for an event in this quarter (that will be completed until February 28), open a ticket asap and get approval before January 20. You will then request for reimbursement as I mentioned previously, assigning the ticket directly to bex. This does not apply to events happening from March 1 onwards (as from March 1 the new fiscal year starts) Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Cheers, Zach -- Zacharias Mitzelos <mitzie at mitzelos dot com> mitzie on freenode http://zacharias.mitzelos.com

updating FUDCon related pages
by Mohan Prakash 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Hi Shouldn't FUDCon related pages wiki, website, etc. be updated to cover the full story of the FUDCon event that is over? There are posts in blogs etc, but the above mentioned pages do not cover reports and details of the happenings at FUDCon. Perhaps it could help people later to see what the particular FUDCon was like. Mohan Prakash (mpduty)
