@robyduck afaik this is accurate: https://budget.fedoraproject.org/FY18/apac.html
I haven't heard from @izhar in a while and I am worried that FAmSCo may need to take more action here to help APAC. ``

As far as I know this is all of the money APAC had spent all year. Unless there are unified tickets, we know everything. ``

Temporary card holder transfers are not easy. The region needs to consider whether it is time to identify a new treasurer and a new card holder.
I do not believe the positions should be combined in the future. (I also think the two regions where they are should split them.) ``

budget wise there are no issue because APAC barely have any activities this year. I've gotten verification key for activation of the new CC, but now trying to find right time to call the bank ..
On planned activities where the DVDs going to be distributed to, can i have some details? considering the rest of APAC besides India is pretty much silent nowadays. ``

Yes, these are distributed at release parties and events at various colleges.
(consider F27 has a release target by the end of October!!)
That seems too soon.

True. I have asked the ambassadors to write posts about their events and share inputs about impact of the the given DVDs and how they help in growing Fedora community. ``

Two(Belgaum and Coimbtore) of the release parties/events are planned at engineering colleges.
In Bangalore, one of the ambassadors runs FreeMedia program, and responds to various media requests.
In Aurangabad: we have a promoter of a training institute who uses Fedora to teach Linux and shares these Fedora DVDs with students.
I have requested them all to share their experiences/insights via blog posts. ``

I see. Maybe we could go with the initial batch of 910(~1000) DVDs and defer the additional 350 to F27. ``

robyduck added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` Normally, you will get better quotes if you order stocks of 1000 pieces, and you said:´ `Rs 27 per Dvd min qty 1000 pcs.` Which is around 420$ + shipping. I am not aware how much shipping costs are, but I see the requests are almost all from India, so it shouldn't be too much.
Would it be ok for you if we go for 450-500$ including shipping? That should give you the possibility to send some media also to the people you added (350 pieces). Seems you have budget for that, but the less you spend of that, the more you will have for other things this year ;)

Take a look at what LATAM is going to do for events. I think the same level of reporting (and process) is a good idea.

Yes, this should be good. RH generally helps with shipping too.

True. I try to keep these media expenses as minimum as possible. ex. I try to avoid shipping whenever possible; I'm due to travel via Pune early next month, I'm going carry the DVDs with me. From Pune, they pick them up for Aurangabad as well. I did the same last year too.
Thank you. ``

@izhar I am concerned that 8 days has gone by with no answer from you. I believe you should consider splitting the treasurer and credit card holder job to help ensure coverage for when you get busy. We all have work and life that comes up and stops us from contributing as we want too. Right now, because you hold both roles no one else in APAC can help. What do you think? ``
