04:15:01 <FranciscoD> It is important that we have a good set of questions to enable folks to vote for the right candidates

04:15:39 <bckurera> ?
04:15:40 <dramsey> +1
04:15:50 <tuanta> I added a question to FAmSCo, you should do so all
04:15:51 <FranciscoD> If a candidate gets elected, and does not live up to the expectations, it is the voters responsibility
04:16:00 <FranciscoD> just like the release names ;)
04:16:15 <maktrix> +1 Fra
04:16:19 <FranciscoD> I'd also request folks to go over the planet

04:16:32 <FranciscoD> You must know your ambassador to be able to vote for him
04:16:41 <FranciscoD> PLEASE DO NOT VOTE BLINDLY
04:16:48 <tuanta> :)
04:16:49 <maktrix> +1 FranciscoD
04:16:55 <FranciscoD> we really need to imporve the importance of elections.
04:17:06 <dramsey> +1 FranciscoD, wants to open my ears to bckurera...
04:17:16 <FranciscoD> I really will not want these elections to end up in controversy like the release names
04:17:18 <dramsey> #link http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&v=_BRv9wGf5pk
04:17:18 <FranciscoD> eof
04:17:21 <FranciscoD> bckurera: go

04:17:32 <FranciscoD> Great question

04:18:28 <bckurera> +1
04:18:29 <tuanta> #topic Things need to be discussed face to face in FUDCon KL
04:18:33 <dramsey> +1 Tuan - tuanta Move forwards
04:18:46 <tuanta> I reorganized the wiki page
04:18:58 <tuanta> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:KualaLumpur_2012/BoF_discussion#Discussion_Ideas
04:19:30 <tuanta> I grouped up some items and suggest some others to be removed
04:19:36 <tuanta> but I am not sure.
04:19:48 <tuanta> then I made <del> to that line
04:19:50 <FranciscoD> thats great :)
04:19:52 <FranciscoD> ?
04:19:59 <dramsey> +1 Tuan - tuanta, right on!  8-)  We need to show our strongest APAC Team support to help promote the FUDCon APAC 2012.
04:20:12 <tuanta> please see the page now and suggest more things
04:20:21 <tuanta> +1 dramsey
04:20:28 <tuanta> yes, FranciscoD, please
04:20:28 <maktrix> +1 dramsey
04:20:34 <FranciscoD> We have limited time
04:20:43 <tuanta> yes,
04:20:47 <dramsey> +1 Ankur - FranciscoD
04:20:47 <FranciscoD> I don't know if all the topics listed there will be discussed
04:21:05 <tuanta> then I reorganized all issues to 2 groups
04:21:10 <FranciscoD> We'll eventually have to prioritize and discuss the most important issues
04:21:13 <FranciscoD> eof
04:21:19 <tuanta> we can take two sections in FUDCon
04:21:27 <bckurera> !
04:21:34 <tuanta> I believe that the organizers will give us
04:21:41 <tuanta> bckurera, please
04:21:48 * FranciscoD thinks we can discuss all of this during meals etc also
04:21:49 <bckurera> how about prioritizing the importance of question?
04:21:52 <bckurera> eof
04:21:59 <dramsey> +1
04:22:21 <maktrix> !
04:22:28 <tuanta> maktrix, please
04:22:37 <maktrix> discussing during the meals is not a good idea
04:22:45 <bckurera> +1
04:22:47 <maktrix> we must have a dedicated session / time for this
04:22:51 <maktrix> eof
04:22:54 <tuanta> +1 maktrix
04:23:01 <tuanta> !
04:23:03 <dramsey> +1 maktrix
04:23:04 <dramsey> :D
04:23:05 <FranciscoD> tuanta: go
04:23:34 <tuanta> I do not think prioritizing is good ideas
04:23:38 <tuanta> since
04:23:44 * FranciscoD reminds folks to keep their text written and ready to save time
04:24:00 <tuanta> in my thoughts, we have two big issues to solve
04:24:09 <dramsey> +1 FranciscoD ==> Power to the people.  ;)
04:24:11 <tuanta> first is How to improve APAC ambassadors meeting quality (tuanta)
04:24:21 <tuanta> and the second is How to improve the quality of community activities and contributions in APAC
04:24:35 <FranciscoD> !
04:24:37 <tuanta> boht have details
04:24:38 <dramsey> +1 Tuan - tuanta  :D
04:24:41 <bckurera> !
04:24:54 <tuanta> 1/2/3... are just details
04:25:03 <tuanta> eof
04:25:03 <tuanta> FranciscoD, please
04:25:06 <FranciscoD> Well, we'll have to start on some topic, so a priority is inherent :)
04:25:09 <tuanta> then, bckurera
04:25:31 <FranciscoD> The only way I see us improving meetings is be holding regular meetings and *strictly* adhering to protocol
04:25:41 <FranciscoD> I don't think talking about it is going to do anything really.
04:25:50 <maktrix> +1 FranciscoD
04:25:54 <MavJS> +1
04:26:01 <FranciscoD> There are good practices that we need to follow. Discussing this isnt going to bring changes IMO
04:26:04 <FranciscoD> eof
04:26:17 <bckurera> We have lot to discuss, and these things can take longer time I suppose therefore if we take some important questions first that will help. Just an idea
04:26:36 <bckurera> I think we need more participation for meetings
04:26:37 <FranciscoD> bckurera: ++ (basically the same thing as prioritizing)
04:26:52 <dramsey> +1  :p
04:26:57 <bckurera> that is one thing we need to make sure !
04:26:59 <bckurera> eof
04:27:21 * FranciscoD notes: question for questionnaire and the survey: "How many of your regional ambassador meetings do you attend?"
04:27:22 <tuanta> FranciscoD: I think we have a lot of things to improve the quality of meetings, we should go discussing f2f in KL!
04:27:24 <FranciscoD> !
04:27:29 <dramsey> :D
04:27:36 <tuanta> FranciscoD, please
04:27:46 <FranciscoD> tuanta: can you please state these things in detail?
04:28:04 <FranciscoD> I'd like to go over them and see if f2f at KL makes sense for them ;)
04:28:05 <FranciscoD> eof
04:28:06 <tuanta> yes, I wrote them on the wiki
04:28:23 <tuanta> 1-6 are suggested details
04:28:31 <FranciscoD> tuanta: with all due respect, I don't see how talking about them will make a change
04:28:39 <FranciscoD> They are guidelines that need to be *practiced*
04:28:52 <FranciscoD> discussing them doesn't directly imply implementation.
04:29:04 <tuanta> FranciscoD: I hope we will have solutions after that section
04:29:22 * FranciscoD feels we already know what must be done to have better meetings
04:29:22 <tuanta> those all are suggestions
04:29:35 <tuanta> sure, FranciscoD
04:29:42 <FranciscoD> tuanta: can I state what I think must be done? And you folks can decide if they need discussion or not?
04:29:45 <tuanta> we should discuss them all before
04:30:16 <FranciscoD> 1. Quorum: We need to encourage Ambassadors to join the meetings. This will be done over a period of time. We are already seeing an increase in attendance
04:30:26 <FranciscoD> 2. Protocl needs to be adhered to:
04:30:39 <FranciscoD> a. Wait your turn: Use ?! to request your turn
04:30:49 <FranciscoD> b. Each meeting will have a leader who gives folks turns.
04:31:08 <FranciscoD> b.i This person needs to be extra attentive, to ensure no time is wasted in giving turns
04:31:27 <FranciscoD> c. Don't start typing after you get your turn. Keep the text ready
04:31:43 <FranciscoD> d.i All tickets that need to be discussed need to be marked 'meeting'  on the track
04:32:07 <FranciscoD> d.ii If the ticket filer is not present, the ticket will be given less priority.
04:32:19 <FranciscoD> e. Dont forget to EOF as soon as you're done ;)
04:32:20 <FranciscoD> EOF
04:32:24 <tuanta> great. that's things should added onto the wiki.
04:32:38 <maktrix> +1 FranciscoD
04:32:40 <dramsey> 8-)  Cool man!!!  8-)  +1
04:32:44 <FranciscoD> tuanta: these are things we put out in every meeting. Its just about folks starting to use them.
04:32:56 <maktrix> !
04:32:59 <FranciscoD> maktrix: go
04:33:01 <kaio_ph> IMHO the rules are a bit overkill.
04:33:02 <maktrix> Ones attendance will be considered during his/her request of budget for event
04:33:24 <maktrix> eof
04:33:40 * FranciscoD notes that these are guidelines. We have no rules.
04:33:48 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: I'd still like you to clarify what you feel is overkill
04:33:50 <FranciscoD> ;)
04:34:19 <tuanta> so, everyone, please add more details to the wiki before we go to KL
04:34:26 <dramsey> +1
04:34:28 <tuanta> my topic done
04:34:32 * FranciscoD waits for kaio_ph
04:34:57 <kaio_ph> 2 a c e
04:34:59 * FranciscoD suggests folks attend meeting such as famsco and the board and see how they do it
04:35:10 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: I'm sorry. I disagree
04:35:23 <tuanta> #action all add more details to the f2f meeting wiki https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:KualaLumpur_2012/BoF_discussion#Discussion_Ideas before we go to KL
04:35:25 <FranciscoD> They are the most important IMO. To maintain structure during the meeting
04:35:31 <kaio_ph> Using too many symbols are quite user unfriendly.
04:35:55 <FranciscoD> they are one/three character, I don't see how they are user unfriendly?
04:36:20 <tuanta> my topic done. next now?
04:36:23 <FranciscoD> when too many people talk simultanously during a meeting, the following happens:
04:36:25 <kaio_ph> FAmSCo won't use : ?! to proceed discussions.
04:36:28 <dramsey> :D
04:36:29 <FranciscoD> 1. no one understands what happens
04:36:39 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: famsco has 4 people in attendance on an average
04:36:49 <FranciscoD> tuanta: 2 more minutes, time me :P
04:36:56 <tuanta> yes, please :)
04:37:08 <FranciscoD> 2. the logs get difficult to read for folks who miss the meeting
04:37:20 <FranciscoD> 3. tags such as info are difficult to use
04:37:33 <kaio_ph> Eof is okay, but symbols are too abstract and confuse people with the original way of usage.
04:37:33 <FranciscoD> 4. multiple things getting discussed together => none of them discussed properly
04:37:44 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: you mean ! and ?
04:37:54 <FranciscoD> for 'raise your hand' and 'ask a question'?
04:38:08 <FranciscoD> we can change it to o/
04:38:15 <kaio_ph> : ! ?
04:38:17 <FranciscoD> if that is more 'raise your hand'
04:38:24 <FranciscoD> ?
04:39:02 <FranciscoD> How about this:
04:39:15 <FranciscoD> I'll make a wiki page for protocols, and request folks on the list to have a look
04:39:19 <kaio_ph> I am personally predict people won't follow the rules for long, as the rules are not natural.
04:39:31 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: exactly, it is our business to make them natural
04:39:37 <FranciscoD> natural/second nature
04:39:41 <FranciscoD> the irc is not the same as f2f
04:39:48 <FranciscoD> you cant have the same method of dicsussion
04:39:49 <bckurera> !
04:39:52 <FranciscoD> eof
04:39:54 <FranciscoD> bckurera: go
04:40:00 <bckurera> I think adhering to the guideline is good and proper !
04:40:09 <bckurera> but they should be simple not much
04:40:09 <kaio_ph> Anything needs to memorise are not helping. Anyways, I am expressing my concern. I don't mind if you want to try that.
04:40:22 <FranciscoD> #action FranciscoD put all guidelines on wiki and request mailing lists to go look
04:40:36 <bckurera> will try to keep it as a habit, then all use to do it and finally we have nice log which is easy to read
04:40:41 <FranciscoD> !
04:40:58 <bckurera> ! ? eof would be enough and simple, IMO
04:41:00 <bckurera> eof
04:41:03 <FranciscoD> kaio_ph: ! ? EOF -> 5 characters, not a lot of RAM needed. If you use them for a single meeting, you understand and use them forever. No memory needed IMO.

04:51:20 <bckurera> There is one ticket
04:51:32 <tuanta> somthing like .apacticket

04:52:04 <bckurera> I ll work on this and find out

04:52:36 <bckurera> #action find out about commands for fedora-apac, something like .apacticket
04:52:59 <FranciscoD> I think this event should be sponsored. We already know bckurera to be a regular contributor. 40USD is not much.
04:53:04 <inode0> !
04:53:12 <bckurera> !
04:53:19 <FranciscoD> Can we vote for approving the ticket once inode0 is done please? :)

04:54:10 <bckurera> #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-apac/ticket/25
04:54:16 <bckurera> I need to note something here
04:54:34 * FranciscoD clarifies that #25 is what he meant by "this event" in the earlier statement
04:54:35 <bckurera> the event took place, and I got the request in 3 days before the event happen
04:54:36 <tuanta> #action bckurera talk to inode0 after the meeting to get explained how to make .apacticket
04:54:53 <FranciscoD> :O
04:54:54 <FranciscoD> ?
04:54:59 <tuanta> then now, go voting for #25
04:55:06 <tuanta> FranciscoD: go
04:55:07 <bckurera> Then I made a decision because I could nt wait till I get the approval.
04:55:15 <FranciscoD> tuanta: he says event already done.
04:55:17 <bckurera> I think this will be approved.
04:55:22 <bckurera> see the event report as well
04:55:23 <bckurera> thanks
04:55:26 <FranciscoD> bckurera: was this ticket filed before the event?
04:55:32 <bckurera> yes
04:55:36 <tuanta> yes, I see. I think we can vote either
04:55:39 <FranciscoD> and was it discussed?
04:55:43 <FranciscoD> (before the event)
04:55:44 <FranciscoD> ?
04:55:56 <FranciscoD> bckurera: ^
04:56:02 <bckurera> This is the time to discuss it.
04:56:13 <tuanta> sometimes, people can not wait till their ticket approved, they can go ahead. I think.
04:56:29 <tuanta> those tickets also should be voted.
04:56:34 <FranciscoD> Yes. But it is suggested that the ticket be filed, and discussed *before* the event takes place
04:56:47 <FranciscoD> We have a fixed budget, so if we run out, you won't get reimbursed
04:56:56 <FranciscoD> then the event will go out of your own pocket.
04:57:10 <FranciscoD> Please file the tickets and get them approved before the event takes place.
04:57:12 <tuanta> !
04:57:12 <FranciscoD> eof
04:57:15 <bckurera> FranciscoD there are some instances you need take a decision because if you wait till the ticket get approved you will loose the evet
04:57:15 <FranciscoD> tuanta: go
04:57:25 <FranciscoD> bckurera: then you need to file the ticket well enough in advanced
04:57:31 <FranciscoD> It is the event owners responsibility
04:57:46 <FranciscoD> (We've been holding weekly meetings)
04:57:49 <tuanta> FranciscoD: that is a cool suggestion. but sometimes people can get that risk, no problem
04:57:50 <tuanta> eof
04:57:52 <bckurera> so in some urgent situations FAm can take a decision, but there is a limit.
04:58:09 * FranciscoD just reminds: if the budget is over, you wont get your money
04:58:15 <tuanta> understood, bckurera :)
04:58:20 <tuanta> ok, go voting now?
04:58:29 <FranciscoD> the idea of preapporval is to check these things: budget, owner, preparation etc
04:58:35 <FranciscoD> yes, vote please
04:58:39 <bckurera> Yes there is a risk, I take it because the event is worth :)
04:58:41 <FranciscoD> +1 from me

05:04:53 <FranciscoD> for events?
05:05:05 <tuanta> FranciscoD: good question
05:05:13 <FranciscoD> I think it's important information to keep in mind when we sit to approve events for reimbursements
05:05:14 <dramsey> +1
05:05:20 <MavJS> +1
05:05:22 <FranciscoD> Can we maintain a wiki page with a table?

05:05:28 <bckurera> we are waiting
05:05:45 <FranciscoD> 'event | budget approved | budget remaining' should be enough IMO
05:05:49 <FranciscoD> bckurera: waiting on whom/what?
05:05:54 <bckurera> at them moment APAC has approved around USD 600 for events in this year.
05:06:05 <bckurera> FranciscoD , harish is the POC
05:06:09 <tuanta> FranciscoD: I think we can see this important information in the monthly FAmSCo report
05:06:17 <FranciscoD> yes, but the board etc decided the budget
05:06:31 <inode0> !
05:06:33 <FranciscoD> harish is responsible for making it available to us, I thought?
