04:14:08 * azneita just floating a number
04:14:13 <bckurera> ohh its DVD cool
04:14:17 <bckurera> in USD pls
04:14:25 <maktrix> 1 US$ = approx. 70 BDT

04:14:48 <maktrix> bckurera: let me check the rate and calculate
04:15:02 <asmartgoat> about 0.5 USD?

04:42:29 * azneita needs to make travel plans
04:42:39 <asmartgoat> lcafiero, is it possible for me to get my tickets reimbursed now? because im low on money and i could use that to buy accomodation :)
04:43:15 <lcafiero> I will check.
04:43:19 <asmartgoat> thank you
04:43:22 <tuanta> it usually takes about over 1 month to get a reimbursement ticket closed
04:43:26 <tuanta> it should be changed
04:43:37 <azneita> speaking of accomodation, i'm willing to share rooms if needed
04:43:45 <asmartgoat> january is spend month :(
04:43:49 <bckurera> yes tuanta +1
04:43:55 <tuanta> about 2 weeks or shorter

04:46:16 <azneita> or they can wait
04:46:22 <bckurera> i cant find you lat weeks in IRC
04:46:47 <bckurera> i think after holidays they should wait 1 month :)
04:46:47 <asmartgoat> they can wait, im moving house on christmas eve, so i'll be without internet until it is set up
04:46:52 <asmartgoat> but probably 2 weeks
04:47:03 <asmartgoat> i'll try get internet at relatives :)
04:47:09 <asmartgoat> relatives houses
04:47:35 <asmartgoat> hmm... we'll probably need a meeting 1 week before LCA
04:47:38 <dramsey> Where will asmartgoat and azneita be staying overnight prior to for the FAD?
04:47:50 <azneita> i am
04:47:56 <asmartgoat> i'll be at a nice hotel in the city

04:48:04 <dgilmore> asmartgoat: ill be in BNE then

04:48:21 <dgilmore> 1 week before LCA that is

04:49:04 <dramsey> asmartgoat and azneita Are you all staying at the same hotel?
04:49:15 <asmartgoat> no i'm only staying one night btw
04:49:21 <kaio> anyone will be in conf?
04:49:21 <azneita> KageSenshi should be flying in around that time
04:49:27 <kaio> (not just open day)
04:49:38 <azneita> \o
04:49:52 <asmartgoat> dgilmore and azneita will be at conf
04:49:55 <azneita> jsmith will be there too
04:49:57 <asmartgoat> (i believe)
04:50:11 <azneita> kagesenshi too
04:50:16 <bckurera> LCA a big things for APAC am
04:50:22 <bckurera> so are you all readyyyyy
04:50:28 <asmartgoat> yes :)
04:50:35 <bckurera> nice
04:50:35 <kaio> azneita☺ you will be paid by yourself?
04:50:36 <asmartgoat> are you coming to LCA bckurera?
04:50:57 <bckurera> no i m nt
04:51:00 <azneita> nope kaio
04:51:16 <bckurera> lot of probs with flying
04:51:26 <azneita> it's supposed to be covered by my sponsorship
04:51:27 <kaio> who are going to conf are paid by FAm for entry?
04:51:40 <kaio> I want to go to conf but I dont have money
04:51:50 <azneita> let's ask kaio
04:52:21 <asmartgoat> kaio, sponsorship?
04:52:27 <azneita> i suggest opening a famsco ticket and wait out an approval
04:52:35 <bckurera> kaio you should be there r8
04:52:39 <azneita> in your case, i think it's ok
04:52:44 <azneita> :)
04:52:44 * dgilmore is a speaker
04:53:21 <azneita> is this a miniconf dgilmore?
04:53:27 <dgilmore> azneita: nope
04:53:36 <bckurera> it is LARGE
04:53:58 <azneita> must have skimmed over it, i'll go look again
04:54:28 <dgilmore> http://lca2011.linux.org.au/programme/schedule/view_talk/65?day=None
04:54:37 <dramsey> Sounds like azneita, kaio, and kagesenshi must meet up with dgilmore
04:55:08 * dgilmore is looking forward to meeting up with people
04:55:10 <azneita> +1
04:55:14 <bckurera> make plans before 1 2 weeks for the event
04:55:25 <bckurera> and v ll meet again after the event right
04:55:30 <dramsey> Has the passing of media from Red Hat Brisbane to the Fedora Ambassadors been determined?
04:55:40 <dramsey> place and time that is.
04:55:48 <asmartgoat> dramsey, harish is to send media :)
04:55:56 <asmartgoat> oh
04:55:57 <dramsey> Do who
04:56:03 <dramsey> s/who/who?
04:56:10 <azneita> i'll meet with kaio first thing
04:56:14 <asmartgoat> it'll be at the event, and we'll take bits of it home (we'll share :) )
04:56:21 <azneita> he'll probably know who to look for :)
04:56:48 <dramsey> asmartgoat is only for the FAD correct?  Not the LCA, right?
04:56:50 <kaio> I will at open day at least
04:57:00 <dramsey> Whoops, open day, too
04:57:05 <asmartgoat> im there for FAD and Open Day :)
04:57:10 <dramsey> Excellent
04:57:11 <asmartgoat> yeah :)
04:57:13 <kaio> yeah I am in fad also
04:57:14 <azneita> kaio: will need help with hotel
04:57:25 <asmartgoat> kaio: open day is free :) so please try :)
04:57:45 <azneita> but that can probably wait till jan, so just food for thought
04:57:50 <kaio> asmartgoat☺ surely will be in open day
04:58:04 <kaio> azneita☺ havent booked yet?
04:58:11 <asmartgoat> hotels are around $100 AUD per/night but good ones can be up to $130AUD per night
04:58:12 <azneita> just the flights
04:58:25 <asmartgoat> azneita, book the hotel now to save money :)
04:58:32 <kaio> ++
04:58:45 <bckurera> yes booking early can save lot

05:00:06 <azneita> #action azneita: work out accomodations for LCA+FAD
05:00:18 <azneita> it's still to be determined
05:00:21 <bckurera> i think it is good you all get 2 gether and discuss about that

05:00:35 <bckurera> is fine rather taking this in the meetng
05:00:58 <dramsey> Understood

05:01:16 <bckurera> :)
05:02:06 <dramsey> Other thoughts?
05:02:11 <bckurera> so can we move pls?
05:02:17 <tuanta> +1
05:02:17 <dramsey> I suggest at latest probably a January 16th meeting to make sure you all have your ducks in a row...one week prior may not be to your advantage.
05:02:23 <dramsey> I am good to move on.

05:05:02 <azneita> i believe harish is india atm for fossin
05:05:06 <bckurera> not sure as the quntity is nt yet fixed
05:05:10 <azneita> i'll try again this week
05:05:15 <bckurera> me too
05:05:23 <bckurera> i need to get some to start
05:05:28 <bckurera> seems we dont have much time
05:05:49 <bckurera> one should be around 8 USD
05:05:59 <bckurera> please fill your need @ the wiki
05:06:18 <dramsey> bckurera, when is your stop date, in order to place order?
05:06:36 <bckurera> they need 15 days to complete the order
05:06:39 <azneita> from the wiki, i'm seeing orders all over the globe
05:06:41 <asmartgoat> Post to the list, but increase the price for out of apac shipping :)
05:07:04 <bckurera> shipping should be added too
05:07:14 <tuanta> +1
05:07:18 <bckurera> its varing on the country and amount
05:07:26 <azneita> we should make that clear so people will know what they're signing up for
05:07:27 <bckurera> NAD this is not only for APAC
05:07:30 <azneita> and for how much
05:07:33 <bckurera> so anyone can order
05:07:41 <bckurera> APAC get the priority
05:07:45 <tuanta> you should ship to one address per country
05:07:59 <bckurera> sure tuanta
05:08:03 <tuanta> then receiver will send out to others
05:08:12 <bckurera> as we got money from fedora
05:08:20 <bckurera> Am do not have to pay for it
05:08:29 <tuanta> yes, I know
05:08:43 <bckurera> so we have to decide
05:08:58 <bckurera> are we giving 2 Tshirts per Am or just one
05:09:13 <asmartgoat> i want two, but its preference :)
05:09:14 <bckurera> coz some ordered 2 peices
05:09:32 <bckurera> comeon Am
05:09:35 <bckurera> i need ideas
05:10:03 <dramsey> I see Air Mail to $6, is that per shirt or mailing?  Also, would that be to Europe?
05:10:43 <tuanta> mailing fee should be per mailing, I believe that
05:10:45 <bckurera> no its for 10
05:11:00 <azneita> my suggestion is for us to move forward with production with initial money that we will get from famsco
05:11:04 <bckurera> actually it should be corrected
05:11:07 <bckurera> sorry for that
05:11:09 <asmartgoat> +1 dramsey. Bckurera,  you have to consider International mailing.
05:11:25 <bckurera> yes sure
05:11:40 <bckurera> ok then we ll print some around 50
05:11:49 <bckurera> from the money we got from FAmSCo
05:11:52 <dramsey> Understood everyone...then content on the wiki must make sure...likes idea for initial production, move forward with production.  What do you think?
05:12:53 <azneita> +1, sorry
05:12:59 <azneita> i'm slow :)
05:13:08 <maktrix> bckurera: is it possible to ship to bangladesh?
05:13:09 <tuanta> +1
05:13:09 <bckurera> anyway i try to get funds soon
05:13:22 <bckurera> y not maktrix
05:13:23 <bckurera> we can
05:13:30 <bckurera> its global
05:13:41 <bckurera> i think it is good i put a mail to the list
05:13:46 <azneita> the ticket was for $400
05:14:23 <azneita> and has been approved by spevack
05:14:23 <bckurera> yes
05:14:31 <tuanta> you should add the shipping fee to that ticket
05:14:38 <bckurera> still no payment
05:14:49 <bckurera> it is not possible
05:15:00 <bckurera> air ticket is varing
05:15:11 <bckurera> sorry
05:15:19 <bckurera> international mail fee
05:15:25 <bckurera> is varing
05:15:47 <bckurera> so we ll see
05:15:53 <azneita> it's a big undertaking for one person
05:15:57 <tuanta> but you still should have a rough estimation
05:16:12 <tuanta> I think so
05:16:16 <bckurera> as soon I got money, i ll proceed
05:16:24 <bckurera> and till that this open for discussions
05:16:38 <bckurera> we ll get the best thing we can do ok
05:16:42 <azneita> noted bckurera, i'll try to get hold of harish one of these days
05:17:01 <bckurera> so pls azneita try to get harish to the track and get money soon
05:17:08 <bckurera> we have to have wear in LCA
05:17:18 <azneita> duly noted
05:17:39 <bckurera> #action Payment for Am wear should be clarified ASAP - azneita

05:17:53 <dramsey> Well done
05:18:21 <bckurera> so we are on the way :)
05:18:25 <tuanta> normally, you should have all receipts to get reimbursement; but this case, I think bckurera should have payment in advance
05:18:35 <asmartgoat> +1 tuan
05:18:41 <bckurera> yes i think so
05:18:48 <asmartgoat> #idea bckurera to get advanced payment if possible
05:18:51 <bckurera> coz the amount is hard to bear personally
05:19:07 <tuanta> so, you should have a rough estimation for all print + air mailing, bckurera

05:19:11 <zodbot> Current chairs: asmartgoat azneita bckurera dramsey tuanta
05:19:15 <azneita> the world is just slowing down for the holidays but we;ll get it done
05:19:26 <bckurera> the reason is  harish cant get contacted
05:19:44 <bckurera> i m trying hard to finish this soon
05:19:56 <bckurera> coz then Am can wear tht for LCA and so on
05:19:58 <dramsey> May be follow up after new year to make sure all is well for LCA AM Wear
05:19:58 <tuanta> then someone should help bckurera to push Harish, Max and other responsible ones

05:20:16 <maktrix> +1

05:35:04 <tuanta> great idea
05:35:11 <tuanta> I love that also
05:35:13 <dramsey> The North American Ambassadors are '...02:37:18 <herlo> the plan is to get some to apply and have FAmSCo or something approve applications based upon some criteria, then send 8-10 people per quarter to take the classes and/or exam(s) ...
05:35:24 <bckurera> if FAm can get some discount with RHCE it is great
05:35:27 <bckurera> what u all think
05:35:29 <dramsey> Yes, tuanta 'Tuan' would be good
05:35:35 <azneita> +1 dramsery

05:36:31 <bckurera> if FAm can get some discount with RHCE it is great
05:36:35 <bckurera> what all think
05:36:43 <tuanta> I think this should be the best time for all of us
05:36:44 <dramsey> Sounds like an action
05:36:51 <asmartgoat> cool!
05:37:08 <dramsey> Discount is start, coverage would be best
