I like that 03:34:53 <liknus_> It's very nice to show people that fedora is celebrated globally :) 03:35:05 <dramsey> #idea Following from Pierros' idea from 12:34:27 about "Last Release (F13) we had two parallel Release Parties (Athens and Thessaloniki) done in the same time and connected through the web." :) 03:35:06 <dramsey> +1 03:35:28 <dramsey> Even that remote camera, video chat, very cool! 03:35:44 <liknus_> So for this Release cycle we can propose to Release parties set for the same day to try to connect with each other 03:35:55 <dramsey> Sounds fun. 03:36:23 <liknus_> and for the next Release Cycle we can try to fix that as an idea from the start (so we can have say 3 dates of Release events) 03:36:25 <dramsey> I think that azneita has something going on around the time Tuan and you are doing...may be we may touch base with the other fellow Fedora Ambassadors. 03:36:38 <dramsey> Yes, I understand and agree. 03:36:40 <dramsey> :D 03:36:45 <liknus_> fantastic :) 03:36:46 <dramsey> These are great ideas. 03:37:10 <dramsey> Well this sounds like brainstorming, I will make our topic now, that sound good? 03:37:11 <liknus_> Of course we should not make it mandatory... just a suggestion :) keep it organic .. 03:37:31 <dramsey> Organic makes a great soup! 03:37:32 <dramsey> :D 03:37:55 <liknus_> I think we are done on that.
