20:09:11 <liknus> #topic Announcements
20:09:28 <liknus> As you have probably seen on the ML we have new FAmSCo :)
20:09:48 <liknus> kital, our FAmSCo member has also been elected to Fedora Board
20:10:06 <liknus> So from now on I will take care to report anything from FAmSCo
20:10:27 <liknus> FAmSCo is into a transition stage and the first meeting will happen this Saturday
20:10:43 <cwickert> ?
20:10:54 <liknus> So unless there is something that kital wants to mention I cannot add something :)
20:10:55 <liknus> cwickert,
20:11:06 <liknus> .fas t2hot
20:11:08 <zodbot> liknus: twohot 'Onyeibo Oku' <twohotis@fastmail.fm>
20:11:24 * t2hot thanks liknus
20:11:31 <cwickert> FAMSCo works on weekends? I guess there is no RH employees in the board then. SCNR & EOF
20:11:33 * liknus t2hot no prob :)
20:12:03 <liknus> Saturday 1pm UTC was the only date/time we could find :)
20:12:17 <liknus> We are from all around the world :)
20:12:26 <dramsey> How true...
20:12:27 <liknus> So anyone else any announcements?
20:12:44 <liknus> if no.. let's move on :
20:12:52 <liknus> #topic Media Production
20:12:57 <cwickert> !
20:13:00 <liknus> cwickert, can you fill us in :)
20:13:07 <liknus> cwickert, feel free :)
20:13:17 <cwickert> at least *some* progress on the RH side
20:13:27 <cwickert> Matthias Kranz has offered his help
20:13:56 <cwickert> he is a German RH manager and he will figure out who is taking the duties of Allessanrda
20:14:07 * liknus sounds good :)
20:14:23 <cwickert> background: She used to pay the bills and has left RH, so we have nobody to pay if I order
20:14:37 <cwickert> I will place the order as soon as we have somebody to pay
20:14:44 <cwickert> EOF, any questions?
20:15:13 <liknus> none from my side :) thanks cwickert for the update :)
20:15:18 <cwickert> welcome
20:15:23 <liknus> Any projection on when this will happen?
20:15:39 <liknus> (I still owe you the list for the addresses)
20:15:40 <cwickert> I'm sorry, I don't have a second sight ;)
20:16:01 <cwickert> but as Matthias is on a higher level, I hope he can get the ball rolling soon (tm)
20:16:02 <liknus> #action liknus mails cwickert the list of addresses for primary shipment
20:16:11 <liknus> fair enough
20:16:21 <liknus> we will roll this topic on the next meeting too
20:16:29 <liknus> moving on :
20:16:45 <liknus> #topic New Chair for the meeting
20:16:49 <cwickert> #info cwickert will notify once RH solved the money question and he placed the order
20:17:34 <liknus> So, I am running out of time to manage this meeting (although I love it)
20:17:59 <liknus> also my duties at FAmSCo will be many
20:18:26 <liknus> Besides I am running this meeting now for 1.5 years
20:18:39 <liknus> Is anyone willing to step up?
20:19:03 <liknus> Of course I will help in the process and I will be present to represent FAmSCo and help when needed
20:19:27 <liknus> If none is interested I guess I am ok with continuing to chair ir
20:19:52 <liknus> as far as everyone is satisfied by what I do
20:19:53 <nunor5_> hello
20:19:59 <liknus> hello nunor5_
20:20:21 <liknus> Is everyone satisfied by how this meeting is run?
20:20:26 <liknus> Any suggestions?
20:20:31 * liknus greets cmpahar

20:21:45 <cmpahar> hello
20:21:45 <cwickert> I can take over chair when I am available, but I cannot promise I always have time
20:21:48 <cmpahar> sorry for being late
20:21:57 <cwickert> a backup would be good, EOF
20:22:03 <liknus> cwickert, thanks for noting :)

20:28:35 <liknus> #action liknus writes on the mailing list about FOSDEM 2011

20:29:25 <liknus> Anyone else on FOSDEM?
20:29:52 <liknus> (of course media will be taken care of until than with the kind help of cwickert )
20:30:06 <liknus> s/than/then

20:30:24 <t2hot> ?
20:30:28 <nunor5__> sucess
20:30:32 <liknus> t2hot, plz go ahead
20:30:53 <t2hot> Sorry to digress a bit ... but still on the subject of Events
20:31:05 <liknus> nunor5__, please do not talk unless you are given the podium
20:31:27 <t2hot> Are non-ambassadors allowed to post/register events?
20:31:42 <t2hot> EOF ... for now
20:31:45 <nunor5__> I would like to prepare one event of fedora to Portugal
20:31:58 <liknus> t2hot, it is not advised but can be done
20:32:12 <liknus> And we have done it some times
20:32:20 <liknus> t2hot, any particular in mind?
20:32:51 <nunor5__> Portugal is a non fan of linux and we have to explore it
20:33:20 <t2hot> Well, I'm not too comfortable with Dec 10,11 event ... not sure its holding
20:33:23 <liknus> nunor5__, please read this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRCHowTo#Protocol
20:34:01 <liknus> t2hot, to which event you are referring?
20:34:16 <t2hot> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events#EMEA-FY11Q4
20:34:26 <t2hot> the one holding in Nigeria
20:34:52 <liknus> I cannot see it on the wiki :S
20:35:42 <t2hot> look again :)
20:35:55 <t2hot> follow the dates
20:36:45 <liknus> oh... it is listed incorrectly under APAC
20:36:52 <liknus> it is EMEA as it is in Africa
20:36:58 <liknus> can you please move it?
20:38:17 <liknus> On the wiki subject
20:38:33 <liknus> As most of you might agree the Events page needs a reform
20:38:47 <cwickert> !
20:39:15 <liknus> I am working on a new version with collapse-able parts of the page so it can be easily read
20:39:17 <liknus> cwickert,
20:39:26 <cwickert> I was told we are working on a calendar kind of thing for the events, but I have not idea when it gets implemented. EOF
20:40:01 <liknus> cwickert, this was a discussion AFAIK too... but possibly for the Community POrtal
20:40:20 <liknus> until then it is easy enough for me to try to clean up a little bit the events page :)
20:40:46 <liknus> If we are ok we shall move to our next topic
20:40:57 <cwickert> !
20:41:00 <liknus> cwickert,
20:41:17 <cwickert> one more thing on events. we discussed quite a few on the FAD in Rheinfelden
20:41:32 <cwickert> I will add the results from the meeting minutes to the events page. eof
20:43:08 <liknus> cwickert, thanks :) I told the meeting about this on the previous one also :) glad to know that we will be present in MANY events for 2011
