21:18:01 <sesivany> thunderbirdtr: ok, I will urge her to do so.
21:18:07 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, but we have time to next month because universities openings
21:18:18 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, so this is my top limit

21:19:19 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, tomorrow I will
21:19:53 <user_> Hello
21:20:01 <sesivany> thunderbirdtr: it sometimes happens that they don't even try to deliver it and leave at the post office. It differs from country to country.
21:20:57 <sesivany> ok, anything else to requests? There are a couple of ambassador's polo shirts requests and I will satisfy them soon.
21:21:02 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, could be why not I will check and which country oming from ?
21:21:08 <thunderbirdtr> coming*
21:21:26 <sesivany> thunderbirdtr: the Czech Republic
21:21:49 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, sender name * ?
21:22:14 <sesivany> thunderbirdtr: it should be Red Hat Czech
21:22:34 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, okey
21:22:37 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, oh right
21:22:49 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, thank you
21:22:58 <sesivany> thunderbirdtr: you can wait with the checking a few days. They deliver within 6 days in EU, it might be a bit more to Turkey.
21:23:15 <kubblai> i think i bought a video called that onc sesivany
21:23:43 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany usually one week in best but generally 2 week
21:23:46 <thunderbirdtr> sesivany, as usual ...
21:23:56 <biker> !
21:24:35 <sesivany> biker: go ahead
21:25:24 <biker> sesivany: i have my ticket for fosdem,., it was approved before the event, and I uploaded the receipts but I haven't heard anything about it
21:25:52 <synchris> sorry for interrupting but i am little bit confused. why cyprus is listed under APAC?
21:25:54 <sesivany> biker: did you asign it to jsimon? he is the only person who can do reimbursements.
21:26:06 <biker> sesivany: ill do that :P thanks (:
21:27:22 <sesivany> synchris: the list is generated based on some weird data. Cyprus is, of course, EMEA.
21:27:51 <sesivany> synchris: there also shouldn't be Africa since it's part of EMEA.
21:28:21 <synchris> emea includes europe midle east and africa also
21:28:21 <sesivany> ok, let's move to the schedule...
21:28:38 <sesivany> #topic Ambassador's schedule
21:29:05 <sesivany> well, there is not schedule yet.
21:29:11 <sesivany> you know, Fedora.NEXT.
21:29:27 <sesivany> they still haven't figured out a plan and timeline.
21:29:51 <sesivany> the most currect plan is that Fedora 21 will be released in August.
21:30:12 <thunderbirdtr> so nexts wil be under "NEXT" system ? (after 21) ?
21:30:24 <sesivany> #info There is no schedule for Fedora 21 yet because of the Fedora.NEXT initiative.
21:31:05 <sesivany> thunderbirdtr: it still will be Fedora, just offered in three official products: server, cloud, workstation.
21:31:42 <gnokii> stack & environments
21:31:59 <b10n1k> !
21:32:03 <gnokii> so it are 4
21:32:44 <sesivany> gnokii: yeah, but products as Fedora systems will be just three.
21:32:52 <sesivany> b10n1k: go ahead.
21:33:37 <b10n1k> what we must know about fedora.next or is there any resource to learn about
21:33:59 <b10n1k> i know that the all think is still a lit bit abstract
21:34:05 <sesivany> b10n1k: there are PRDs of each of the products.
21:34:18 <b10n1k> we want to do a presentation about here in Breece
21:34:31 <sesivany> I think that no one really has a concrete idea how it will look in the end.
21:34:32 <b10n1k> *Greece
21:35:08 <sesivany> b10n1k: there was a Fedora.NEXT talk by Matthew Miller at DevConf last weekend. The video will be online tomorrow.
21:35:26 <b10n1k> that s great
21:35:30 <sesivany> he explained quite a lot there.
21:36:16 <sesivany> #link http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIHsqY_4eWeInVQnxZ7WSjg
21:36:18 <b10n1k> link for this?
21:36:21 <sesivany> it will be on that link.
21:36:22 <b10n1k> ok
21:36:51 <mitzie> Yeah, b10n1k and me will organize it. Thanks sesivany for the resources
21:37:15 <sesivany> #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora.next
21:37:20 <elijahhanson> thanks for the link
21:38:38 <sesivany> it's actually our task to learn something about Fedora.NEXT because we will have to explain it to our users.
21:39:07 <elijahhanson> that's very true..
21:39:20 <b10n1k> +1
21:39:49 <sesivany> ok, let's move to events.
21:39:56 <sesivany> #topic Events
21:40:00 <kmf> !
21:40:10 <b10n1k> so maybe is good idea to open a pad to keep notes for every one
21:41:07 <sesivany> kmf: go ahead
21:41:23 <kmf> sesivany, some feedback regarding Idlelo
21:41:41 <sesivany> kmf: yeah, I wanted to discuss this event.
21:42:11 <kmf> the org. wants us to help out with the Install fest
21:42:37 <kmf> twohot, has via email asked me to run with Idlelo
21:43:25 <sesivany> kmf: what about the fee? Any updates there?
21:43:36 <kmf> as to pricing nothing is final yet ... it needs to go in ... via the committee (death by committee) ...
21:44:14 <kmf> sesivany, they have actually drafted me as a speaker ... and I have not submitted a paper ...
21:44:48 <gnokii> :D
21:44:50 <sesivany> kmf: they should hurry with that because it won't be easy to process it on our side. I still have no idea how we could pay it. A credit card payment would be ideal.
21:45:04 <sesivany> kmf: good for you :)
21:45:18 <kmf> sesivany .. really ;)
21:45:57 <gnokii> its time for pistol on there breast
21:46:12 <kmf> gnokii, what does that mean?
21:46:12 <sesivany> kmf: who else is planning to go to idlelo?
21:46:16 <sesivany> twohot, too?
21:46:34 <kmf> twohot, is around .... maybe he can jump in
21:46:34 <twohot> huh?
21:47:31 <sesivany> twohot: are you coming to IDLELO?
21:48:05 <twohot> sesivany: not sure.  Likely not
21:48:51 <sesivany> kmf: so it will be you and Arthur Buliva.
21:49:13 <kmf> sesivany .. I have not heard anything from Arthur ....
21:49:25 <sesivany> and we wanted to send one experienced ambassador from Europe, cwickert volunteered.
21:49:47 <sesivany> I will have to talk to him.
21:50:12 <kmf> sesivany, that would be awesome!
21:50:17 <sesivany> #action sesivany to talk to cwickert about his trip to IDLELO he signed up for.
21:50:55 <sesivany> kmf: what do the organizers require from us regarding the install fest?
21:51:19 <gnokii> 10 ppl and we have to pay entrance for them :D
21:51:22 <kmf> probably media and a good attitude
21:51:51 <twohot> not sure cwickert will attend
21:52:19 <sesivany> twohot: I'm not sure either. That's why I'd like to talk to him.
21:52:27 <twohot> I had already talked to him but that decision might change anyways
21:53:35 <sesivany> kmf: should I send media and swag to you in SA or to Kenya?
21:54:38 <kmf> sesivany, if cwickert ... can't attend I'm not sure if it would justifiable for only me to represent Fedora
21:54:58 <kmf> sesivany, in which case we need to send it directly to Kenya
21:55:59 <sesivany> kmf: we definitely need at least two people. Please, try to write Arthur if we can count with him.
21:56:15 <kmf> sesivany, will do.
21:56:47 <sesivany> kmf: thanks.
21:57:13 <sesivany> I'll speak with cwickert and if he can't come, we'll try to find someone else from Europe.
21:57:31 <sesivany> kmf: what's the date?
21:58:02 <kmf> 24 - 28 March sesivany
21:58:32 <sesivany> wow, that's veeery close.
21:58:44 <sesivany> ok, we should start working on that.
21:58:49 <twohot> Arthur will attend
21:59:00 <twohot> we spoke (sorry for budging in)
21:59:03 <twohot> !
21:59:13 <sesivany> #action kmf to speak with Arthur Buliva about IDLELO.
21:59:18 <sesivany> twohot: just speak
21:59:41 <twohot> ok ... yeah, as I was saying.  Arthur is poised to attend.  He stays in the city
22:00:13 <kmf> sesivany, will still confirm with him
22:01:00 <sesivany> ok, I think that's enough for IDLELO for now.
22:01:15 <kmf> +1

22:07:05 <sesivany> we should be there.
22:07:15 <sesivany> too bad it's so close to LinuxTag this year.
22:07:23 <gnokii> close?
22:07:28 <gnokii> its the same date
22:08:14 <sesivany> ah, even that.
