03:01:21 <tuanta> woo, a lot of men here today :)
03:01:26 <bckurera> Hi good morning to all of you we are here for the APAC meetings
03:01:31 <KageSenshi> yeah XD
03:01:39 <tuanta> the biggest meeting ever, for me
03:01:45 <tuanta> good morning
03:02:01 <asmartgoat> next topic?
03:02:04 * azneita couldn't agree more tuan
03:02:07 <bckurera> so lets move to the next topic
03:02:12 <bckurera> #topic News from FAmSCo
03:02:22 <bckurera> Is there any news?
03:02:28 <azneita> ke4qqq, please?
03:02:42 <asmartgoat> ke4qqq has the floor
03:02:47 <asmartgoat> cheryn your just in time :)
03:03:01 <cheryn> hello asmartgoat :)
03:03:08 <cheryn> hi everybody
03:03:28 <bckurera> ke4qqq please?
03:03:37 <ke4qqq> I have no news....
03:03:48 <bckurera> hmmm then can we proceed?
03:03:51 <ke4qqq> unless you are looking for something specifically
03:03:54 * ke4qqq is just here to watch
03:04:08 <bckurera> #topic Ambassador wear - Tshirts
03:05:02 <bckurera> As you all aware I designed a TShirt for APAC Am.
03:05:44 <bckurera> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bckurera/APAC-shirts
03:05:45 <azneita> has everybody lodged their sizes?
03:05:46 <tuanta> yes, I booked some for me
03:06:05 <bckurera> So we need to finalize this and proceed today
03:06:25 <bckurera> I have got around 40 orders all over the world (I should say)
03:06:55 <asmartgoat> cheryn / sgordon, will you need some for LCA?
03:07:01 <bckurera> According to the ideas of Am. the APAC term has removed from the TShirts and it suits for all Am.
03:07:30 <bckurera> The minimum amount is 50 for proceed with a manugacturer
03:07:51 <bckurera> The right price then can be announced.
03:08:08 <azneita> i'll add two more, for engels and magie they can't join us today
03:08:24 <asmartgoat> cant we get funding from FAmSCo for this?
03:08:28 <sgordon> i personally would be happy to chip for one
03:08:41 <bckurera> However I ll discuss with them(manugacturer) in the next week
03:08:45 <ke4qqq> bckurera: if you're that close, just assume famsco will make up whatevers left to get to 50 - and then you'll have spares for others later
03:09:17 <bckurera> that means we can get some funds right?
03:09:21 <azneita> right!
03:09:35 <KageSenshi> cool
03:09:43 <bckurera> ok then I ll contact ke4qqq for further settlements
03:09:47 <bckurera> is it ok?
03:09:55 * azneita grins
03:10:18 <bckurera> still all can send me sugessions - I m nt finalize anything
03:10:33 <dramsey> Cool guys,
03:10:41 <dramsey> Good idea for T-Shirts for the people.
03:10:44 <bckurera> the logo guide lines are safely followed and no more troubles
03:11:06 <dramsey> Good bckurera, adhere to the standards and we are legit
03:11:08 <azneita> btw, asmartgoat: can you do the minute-taking - #action #idea

03:24:06 <asmartgoat> above*

03:24:32 <asmartgoat> cool :)
03:24:52 <KageSenshi> ok created the ticket
03:25:02 <asmartgoat> Openday
03:25:04 <dramsey> Fantastic
03:25:06 <kaio> yeah
03:25:21 <asmartgoat> do we have needs for openday?
03:25:27 <asmartgoat> Swag, CD's Etc
03:25:40 <dramsey> kaio, you going right?
03:25:42 <tuanta> I see so many activities in LCA and FAD, great!
03:25:47 <bckurera> what is going to distribute in the event?
03:25:50 <kaio> dramsey: ya
03:25:52 <bckurera> F13 or F14
03:26:00 <tuanta> should be F14 only
03:26:01 * dgilmore thinks its awesome to see things happening in .au
03:26:04 <asmartgoat> i hope we can distribute f14
03:26:11 <bckurera> it is nice
03:26:15 <tuanta> +1
03:26:16 <dramsey> good kaio.
03:26:27 <dramsey> asmartgoat, any word on media from Harish?
03:26:27 <bckurera> did anyone check for the remaining F13 media with harish
03:26:33 <azneita> #info harish will be producing a big batch of F14 soon, we can hook that up for the event
03:26:36 <dramsey> bckurera, my thought, too
03:26:39 <dgilmore> we should only distribute f14
03:26:43 <asmartgoat> are you guys / girls organizing CD's  for LCA? (sgordon / cheryn )
03:26:48 <kaio> I got 20 pcs F12 here. :P
03:26:50 <bckurera> dramsey its nice :)
03:27:08 <asmartgoat> dramsey, harish said by feb. so thats not good :(
03:27:08 <azneita> do we have a number?
03:27:10 <sgordon> not that i'm aware of, i think we are pursuing the usb media creation station though
03:27:32 * dgilmore can see if there is any media in the US i can get my hands on
03:27:37 <dramsey> asmartgoat, need a backup plan...how about any unused media
03:27:45 <dramsey> thanks dgilmore
03:27:47 <asmartgoat> yes, that would be great dgilmore.
03:27:50 <asmartgoat> thanks
03:28:00 <dgilmore> i brought 750 cd/dvd's to FUDCon LATAM last year
03:28:07 <asmartgoat> azneita, do you have media?
03:28:22 <azneita> nothing yet on me
03:28:31 <asmartgoat> alright.
03:28:43 <asmartgoat> Moving on?
03:28:47 <tuanta> yes
03:28:50 <KageSenshi> ok
03:28:51 <dramsey> yes
03:28:54 <bckurera> asmartgoat what about the media then?
03:28:55 <asmartgoat> #topic FAD @ brisbane 2011
03:29:12 <asmartgoat> bckurera we'll have to organize
03:29:17 <asmartgoat> oh.
03:29:21 <azneita> #info dgilmore will try to get his hands on media for LCA 2011
03:29:29 <asmartgoat> yeah, but we need more :)
03:29:46 * dgilmore sadly wont be at the FAD
03:29:51 <asmartgoat> kaio, is it possible for you to get funding to make media localy?
03:30:18 <azneita> good question
03:30:25 <tuanta> media should be made locally
03:30:50 <asmartgoat> true
03:30:52 <bckurera> I paid $10 as custom feed for F13
03:30:58 <bckurera> fee*
03:30:59 <azneita> i believe it's possible to get funding, we just have to have numbers
03:31:01 <tuanta> in Vietnam, our team can burn >1,000 dics a day
03:31:28 <lcafiero> Sorry I'm late.
03:31:31 * azneita waves to lcafiero
03:31:36 <KageSenshi> hi lcafiero :)
03:31:37 <bckurera> I need to raise a point here, should ve print on dics and make them expensive then?
03:31:48 <tuanta> hi lcafiero
03:31:53 <asmartgoat> we should look profession
03:31:53 <asmartgoat> al
03:32:01 <tuanta> +
03:32:04 <tuanta> +1
03:32:06 <azneita> professional looking ones please
03:32:07 <KageSenshi> +1
03:32:09 <bckurera> or just distribute them with no printing on it
03:32:13 <azneita> it's LCA :)
03:32:25 <azneita> we want our best foot forward
03:32:29 <kaio> asmartgoat: making media here is "very" not econimic
03:33:04 <asmartgoat> why?
03:33:06 <azneita> which presents us an opportunity
03:33:13 <kaio> I can burn, but there will be no printing on the disc
03:33:28 <kaio> azneita: I could check out, but you know the living standard in AU
03:33:30 <asmartgoat> get you funding for a CD printer?
03:33:30 <bckurera> in Sri Lanka for 1000 CDs it will cost $100 (around) what about Aus
03:33:44 <asmartgoat> true
03:34:06 <kaio> in AU, a blank CD will be about that price
03:34:18 <kaio> I think not so, may be more.
03:34:21 <KageSenshi> if 1000CDs + tax is cheaper than producing in .au , then imo its better to just import
03:34:22 * azneita remembers the duplicator
03:34:23 <bckurera> kaio : bad to hear :(
03:34:32 <dramsey> azneita, how true...
03:34:33 <asmartgoat> fund a printer for kaio?
03:34:39 <kaio> I can burn. :) and print on it if I got a canon printer.
03:34:40 <dramsey> At least there is USB ability.
03:34:55 <dramsey> Idea/action...
03:35:06 * kaio is using officeject 5000 MFC bought 6 years ago
03:35:17 <bckurera> #idea Media should be produced locally
03:35:23 <kaio> bckurera: I agree
03:35:34 <asmartgoat> kaio, if you go down to officeworks you can normally get a printer that prints cds from $60 - 100
03:35:35 <azneita> the usb creation booth presents a great alternative to CD/DVDs
03:35:44 <tuanta> it will cost more to bring medias oversea
03:35:48 <kaio> asmartgoat: if so I could do it
03:35:56 <dramsey> you can do it!
03:35:59 <kaio> need to check out
03:36:02 <asmartgoat> tuanta, checked baggage. :)
03:36:11 <tuanta> yes
03:36:11 <kaio> dramsey: yeah! I could do it! (in hyper state)
03:36:13 <dgilmore> tuanta: as a one off i can bring it with me
03:36:14 <azneita> thanks kaio
03:36:20 <asmartgoat> 5 days does not need 10kg checked baggage
03:36:21 <bckurera> azneita <- are you saying to give USB free??
03:36:24 <asmartgoat> 15kg
03:36:32 <azneita> not :)
03:36:35 <dgilmore> but if we can get good pricing for replication locally then that would be good
03:36:42 <kaio> USB free, spare me one. :)
03:36:48 <dramsey> Always have a backup plan, just in case...
03:37:00 <tuanta> live CD is better
03:37:10 <bckurera> tuanta +1
03:37:10 <kaio> I see if I can get an asian shop, they usually do cheaper
03:37:17 <kaio> tuanta: ++
03:37:18 <tuanta> people can not erase it :)
03:37:29 <asmartgoat> +1
03:37:32 <KageSenshi> +1
03:37:34 <azneita> #action kaio will check for local production of LCA media
03:37:37 <bckurera> tuanta <- rather than its is cheaper
03:37:46 <kaio> tuanta: yeah, I think if usb there will be ppl re-line many times
03:37:46 <tuanta> +1
03:38:03 <bckurera> kaio <- how about the media with LCA logo on it :)
03:38:04 <dramsey> Good ideas guys
03:38:39 <azneita> #idea have LCA 2011 art from design team
03:39:06 <kaio> Fedora 14 - LCA2011 special limited edition.
03:39:06 <azneita> something fedora-related would be nice
03:39:21 <kaio> people collect that :P
03:39:29 <azneita> nice
03:39:40 <kaio> w/ a number and cert signed by dramsey
03:39:47 <bckurera> how about LCA travelling to me?
03:39:56 <asmartgoat> srry dc.
03:40:03 <bckurera> kaio <- budget?
03:40:13 <kaio> bckurera: my budget?
03:40:16 <dramsey> Would be good to have universal media, so in case not used...
03:40:32 <dramsey> There are great Fedora 14 cover designs
03:40:38 <dramsey> Your food for thought
03:40:43 <bckurera> kaio <- air fee and so on me from SL
03:41:08 <dramsey> asmartgoat, other needs for the FAD Day?
03:41:12 <kaio> bckurera: I am not FAMSCO yet
03:41:16 <asmartgoat> ah
03:41:38 <asmartgoat> we are going to have brunch before we arrive at LCA
03:41:40 <asmartgoat> not
03:41:41 <asmartgoat> lca
03:41:43 <asmartgoat> edge
03:42:05 <asmartgoat> we'll eat somewhere, australian :P.
03:42:08 <asmartgoat> kaio any ideas
03:42:14 <azneita> which reminds me, maybe it should be better to consolidate our budget requests into a single ticket for easier tracking
03:42:17 <kaio> asmartgoat: aust style?
03:42:29 <asmartgoat> yeah, you know, echidna
03:42:32 <asmartgoat> and kangaroo
03:42:38 <kaio> asmartgoat: if EDGE, you can have breakfast in southbank I guess
03:42:45 <asmartgoat> alright
03:42:46 <asmartgoat> :P
03:42:59 <asmartgoat> #idea breakfast at southbank

03:48:28 <asmartgoat> #action will be conferencing for APAC meeting for dramsey + others :)
03:48:31 <KageSenshi> azneita, but not strictly fedora related right? (such as, stuff which exist in fedora repos)
03:48:31 <dramsey> For my talks, ibus as well as features like systemd and kernel are good stuff...
03:48:49 <asmartgoat> yeah, kagesenshi
03:49:00 <KageSenshi> ok
03:49:05 <dramsey> That is a good question, Cheryn
03:49:19 <bckurera> we all linux based :)
03:49:28 <asmartgoat> #action all people wanting to talk add a talk to the correct spot in the times http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_@_Brisbane_2011
03:49:33 <kaio> dramsey: you should get RH people come to FAD, there are ibus people in Brisbane.
03:49:49 <asmartgoat> yes red hat people are welcome
03:49:52 <dramsey> kaio, how true...my thought, too
03:50:06 <kaio> and there are desktop dev also
03:50:14 <dramsey> Excellent ideas!]
03:50:19 <asmartgoat> alright
03:50:36 <asmartgoat> kaio, i've already talked to you about fedora cake, but i need to make a design :)
03:50:44 <kaio> for L10N I could try to ask my friend who do translations in Chinese
03:50:58 <sgordon> chester?
03:51:02 <bckurera> I like cakes too :)
03:51:03 <dramsey> Should the ibus/desktop dev be an action/idea?
03:51:05 <kaio> sgordon: exactly
03:51:08 <sgordon> :)
03:51:36 <asmartgoat> sgordon, if you are coming to the FAD please add yourself :)
03:51:42 <azneita> FAD is shaping up to be fun hehe
03:51:48 <asmartgoat> yes :)
03:51:58 <kaio> azneita: it will be fun for Brisbane FAD
03:52:17 <asmartgoat> i have bad news
03:52:20 <dramsey> Additionally, I have had inquiries relevant to the fedora cloud concepts, too.  Food for thought.
03:52:21 <azneita> i suggest we place the meeting best practice before the apac meeting :)
03:52:25 <asmartgoat> !
03:52:34 <dramsey> what is up  asmartgoat?
03:52:49 <bckurera> go on asmartgoat

03:53:13 <asmartgoat> we will not be able to view the State of fedora speech.
03:53:23 <dramsey> Excellent sgordon!
03:53:25 <sgordon> i am presenting at the cloud mini-conf on deltacloud related stuff
03:53:31 <sgordon> but most of my testing has been using fedora
03:53:41 <dramsey> Fantastic!
03:53:47 <bckurera> +1
03:54:07 <asmartgoat> +1
03:54:11 <asmartgoat> alright
03:54:21 <dramsey> asmartgoat, I think that Pierros has been interested to try from his place in Europe...food for thought, too

03:54:32 <asmartgoat> i have one more topic before Bckurera can take over :)

03:59:38 <kaio> we need projector, internet, LAN hub/wireless?
03:59:39 <asmartgoat> so we might need to
03:59:41 <asmartgoat> two
03:59:53 <asmartgoat> (i'll ask for internet and projector)
03:59:59 <asmartgoat> shall we ask for two rooms?
04:00:06 <azneita> a whiteboard will be useful
04:00:17 <bckurera> azneita +1
04:00:21 <kaio> asmartgoat: two units of room? (if they could partition)
04:00:23 <asmartgoat> one  with projector and one with whiteboard
04:00:28 <asmartgoat> :)
04:00:42 <azneita> and lot's of electrical outlets

04:14:31 <azneita> while waiting for asmartgoat, let's tackle future meetings' timing
04:14:44 <KageSenshi> :)
04:14:49 <azneita> we forgot about that last meet
04:14:50 <kaio> asmartgoat: thx for effort!
04:15:07 <dramsey> Good idea - next week, December 5th and 19th?  Different timing?
04:15:18 <kaio> KageSenshi: cool
04:15:26 <azneita> there's a suggestion for 18UTC right?
04:15:54 <bckurera> omg 23.30 in Sri Lanka
04:16:00 <dramsey> azneita, I remember kaio 's idea of making timing cool for India Participants
04:16:36 <azneita> which brings us to the basic question - are we moving?
04:17:08 <bckurera> #idea Changing the APAC meeting time
04:17:14 <kaio> dramsey: ??
04:17:14 <azneita> personally, i like the 3UTC timing
04:17:24 <bckurera> ok we ll do so
04:17:24 <kaio> oh meeting time
04:17:34 <bckurera> frist please add your all sugessions
04:17:57 <bckurera> I m still ok with 0300 UTC
04:18:01 * kaio still stuck to make time working for both India/SL and NZ
04:18:17 * asmartgoat back
04:18:40 <azneita> kaio, what time works for them?
04:18:40 <dramsey> kaio, I remember something about evening time, but one timing there is #fedora-zh meeting...
04:19:22 <azneita> dramsey, i also remember that one, i can probably work both ways
04:19:49 <dramsey> me, too, flexible, would be good to get the people to attend, you guys are doing great for today.
04:19:54 <dramsey> Other thoughts?
04:20:15 <bckurera> what is the final decision on the time on APAC meeting
04:20:28 <asmartgoat> im ok with 3:00 utc
04:20:33 <asmartgoat> but i can do earlier
04:20:37 <azneita> i suggest we stay put right now, then move when we have something from india, fair enough?
04:20:45 <asmartgoat> ok
04:20:47 <bckurera> then what about 0200 UTC
04:20:51 <dramsey> ok
04:21:02 <dramsey> Next meeting in early December?
04:21:04 <asmartgoat> does 0200 UTC exclude anyone here?
04:21:05 <kaio> http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/photo.php?fbid=180169545331814&set=a.154836151198487.36039.100000163085691

04:25:10 <dramsey> How about lcafiero 's OLPC idea?
04:25:10 <asmartgoat> we should enquire for funding for the other components tho
04:25:21 <asmartgoat> i'll do that in a week :)
04:25:22 <dramsey> Ah, understood asmartgoat
04:25:33 <asmartgoat> we're going to need to borrow lcafieros OLPC :)
04:25:34 <azneita> we can pilot-test it for LCA
04:25:51 <azneita> then replicate the experience for the remaining five
04:25:56 <azneita> sounds like a plan?
04:26:05 <asmartgoat> yes
04:26:15 <azneita> it's settled then :)
04:26:41 <azneita> we'll probably change the XO part for some, but the rest will remain the same
04:26:42 <dramsey> Develop the prototype, sounds like an action/idea
04:27:00 <asmartgoat> #idea develop prototype of APACK box
04:27:04 <bckurera> we are 1.5 hrs here now :)

04:28:05 <bckurera> #idea APAC need to have an year plan
04:28:08 <dramsey> I voted for kaio and lcafiero
04:28:10 <asmartgoat> #action Can everyone have a look at this page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/APAC/sandbox
04:28:12 <asmartgoat> #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/APAC/sandbox
04:28:34 <asmartgoat> I want to know if I should make that the default page for APAC
04:28:58 <azneita> the dung really jumps off the page :)
04:28:59 <bckurera> what about having an year plan for APAC
04:29:04 <asmartgoat> azneita lol
04:29:31 <azneita> bckurera, we're tackling that on FAD Brisbane but it will help if we start early
04:29:35 <kaio> azneita: the scholarship?
04:29:39 <bckurera> then we can organize well
04:29:55 <bckurera> what all think about that
04:30:04 <bckurera> shall we start a wiki page for APAC year plan
04:30:11 <asmartgoat> no questions, suggestions for the page?? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/APAC/sandbox
04:30:20 <azneita> haha
04:30:27 <bckurera> As other regions we have to organize well
04:30:32 <bckurera> with better communication
04:30:32 <azneita> 1 by 1 please :)
04:30:39 <asmartgoat> +1
04:30:44 <bckurera> that will make APAC perfect
04:30:57 <bckurera> I like to work on that and make APAC remarkable :)
04:31:06 <azneita> bckurera, i feel you man
04:31:13 <kaio> azneita: the icons could be stay closer
04:31:17 <asmartgoat> APAC the role model :)

04:32:54 <azneita> in any case, i think we're making progress and that's the point - making progress
04:33:06 <asmartgoat> alright
04:33:11 <asmartgoat> +1 to azneita
04:33:11 <lcafiero> If you want more members in FAmSCo, don't forget to vote.
04:33:16 <dramsey> Action begets progress

04:34:23 <dramsey> +1 wiki
04:34:31 <bckurera> i ll do it and post soon
04:34:37 <azneita> thanks bckurera
04:34:43 <bckurera> no worries
04:34:50 <asmartgoat> +1
04:35:00 <bckurera> we ll make APAC better then Fedora will be the best
04:35:01 <azneita> about asmartgoat's dabbling in wikis?
04:35:14 <asmartgoat> shall we close?
04:35:37 <bckurera> ok then before organizing events
04:35:53 <bckurera> we all need to look at the year plan and use it to optimize the results
04:35:57 <bckurera> all agree with it
