EMEA Ambassadors Meeting Minutes 2017-02-15
by Nemanja Milosevic 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hey Ambassadors, We had our regular EMEA meeting, it lasted about 30 minutes and 4 people attended. This was a very important meeting, because of the pagure.io migration, so I ask you all to read the logs. Also, the number of people in this meeting was only 4 (not even at the same time) so it was impossible for us to vote on the requests. Please state if the time slot is bad for you, so we can try and change it. We've all noticed that the turnout in the last few meetings is definitely going downhill. :( Minutes: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2017-02-15/emea_ambassador… Minutes (text): https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2017-02-15/emea_ambassador… Log: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2017-02-15/emea_ambassador… See you again in two weeks.

Hey all, FAmNA's weekly meeting just came to a close. Even though we didn't originally schedule a meeting for tonight, we ended up having quorum anyways. There's a lot of cool things happening in Fedora and also opportunities to contribute – check the announcements for more info! For tickets, we mostly discussed migrating over our FAmNA Requests Trac to a Pagure repository and also worth noting is an updated budget proposal for SCaLE15x. More info is all in the minutes below.

Re: [Embajadores-fedora-latam] Re: Remove FAS Country groups
by Abdel Gadiel Martínez Lassonde 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

I think that editing a wiki (and not being on any Fedora group or team) is not a valid reason for maintaining country groups. This issue should be addressed to FAmSCo to have a consensus and a replicable solution across all regions I will refer to this note on the Ambassador wiki page [1]: "Requires CLA+1 status to complete To edit the wiki, you now have to have CLA+1 status (which means you belong to another group in FAS than the CLA-related groups). If you are unable to edit the wiki, skip this step and work with your mentor on a temporary workaround. When you are able, you need to have a biography on your user page." This means that no user should be able to edit a wiki page, unless is extremely necessary and the mentor is aware of that. So, from my point of view, having the country specific group is useless and represent an backdoor on other stuff as voting system.

OSCON 2017
by Matthew Miller 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

So, I'm going to attend the Community Leadership Summit which runs the weekend before OSCON, and since I'll be there, I figured I might as well stay. Last year, we decided that a Fedora booth would be exorbitant, and I think that was a good decision. Adam Miller was there https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/oscon-2016-expo-hall-booth-report/ but more from a RH point of view than Fedora in specfic. This year, Red Hat has a large booth, and offered me a "pod" within it (a cabinet and monitor for demos). The whole thing is being designed by a contracted events company; we won't need the event box, but it would be nice to have some swag. I've never been to OSCON; what can those who have tell me about the audience? The conference program schedule looks pretty technical, with a lot of programming and sysadmin talks. That seems like a pretty good match for trying to create converts to Fedora through Workstation, Atomic, and Server. Do you think we should aim more for an end-user angle or a contributor one? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Re: Fudcon bids election

Not counted > Votation was closed > 00:07:36 <rigobersol> brasil +1 > fas rigobersol cla_fpca OK Neville, I am sorry but Panamá didn't won the voting because rigobersol and Juon vote was not counted for Brazil, anyway I don't think repeating a FUDCon in Panamá is better for the Project instead of having a FUDCon in Paraguay that never received one, Can you provide us the Juon fas information?, we request people who attendees the meeting to identify they selves with .fas FASUSERNAME , also most people in the meeting have theirs nicks registered in freenode so you can trust in the identity of the person begin the Nick, with rigobersol vote there is a draw, anyway we need to wait the council opinion. _______________________________________________ ambassadors mailing list -- ambassadors(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to ambassadors-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Well I think we/you are going in the wrong direction, it seems to me you are fighting one against the other when you have the same goal at the end. I saw the bids just a few days ago and am surprised you already voted, because the bids have both pros and cons. I would consider instead to extend the deadline (remember we don't have a budget yet set) and try to find more arguments why the FUDCon should be in Panama or in Brazil. People should not vote just for winning a bit, they should vote having enough informations about the bids. Organizing a FUDCon is not simple and you need a lot of people and a good strategy to be successful. So please, before you fight within your region about valid or invalid votes, think about the final goal and extend your deadline a bit. If you like I'm sure jkurik can setup a voting session, although the Region's proposals to the Council never needed that. My two cents. Robert
