01:13:27 <juggler> cy: the name of the ML is -- ambassadors
01:13:51 <juggler> pdt looks like I might need one? :)
01:14:02 <cydrobolt> hmm
01:14:09 <cydrobolt> juggler, what message did you get when trying to sign up?
01:14:30 <juggler> error msg: "Please apply to be an Ambassador before joining this mailing list."
01:14:40 <cydrobolt> Ah, okay
01:14:45 <cydrobolt> juggler, what is your FAS account?
01:14:57 <juggler> standby while i look
01:15:09 <juggler> lajuggler
01:15:15 <ParadoxGuitarist> I'm pretty sure you need someone to sponsor you to ambasador group.
01:15:23 <ParadoxGuitarist> juggler: You will need a mentor. vwbusguy mentored me and he's in San Dimas.
01:16:21 <juggler> PG: ah. would you have any resources to mentor me? not sure what that involves.

01:16:30 <zodbot> cydrobolt: Approved Groups: cla_done cla_fpca
01:16:31 <pdtodd> yeah, but the page with the mentors seems to be outdated, ParadoxGuitarist
01:16:39 <cydrobolt> Cool :)
01:16:55 <ParadoxGuitarist> There's a mentor group, so not just anyone can sponsor you.
01:17:04 <juggler> ah

01:17:33 <cydrobolt> juggler, have you taken a look at the wiki article https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Join_start
01:18:05 <juggler> earlier yes
01:18:44 <juggler> the FAS acct was completed. and then I returned to that page.
01:19:04 <juggler> wasn't sure what to do after that second bullet
01:19:15 <juggler> *After obtaining a FAS Account, please return here to continue your path to becoming a Fedora Ambassador.
01:20:01 <wrnash> Did you click on Start the Ambassador Membership process
01:20:25 <ParadoxGuitarist> then the explore fedora on the bottom right
01:20:41 <juggler> ah, completely missed that tiny button wrnash
01:20:42 <juggler> !
01:21:07 <juggler> apologies
01:21:19 <wrnash> No problem it is not very clear.
01:21:38 <juggler> it shows up as a very faded blue on my screen
01:22:22 <juggler> anyhow, while i review that stuff, please continue with the main meeting!
01:22:23 <pdtodd> I've been having trouble getting hold of a mentor. Is the choose a mentor page outdated?
01:23:08 <ParadoxGuitarist> pdtodd: who have you tried to contact?
01:24:08 <pdtodd> Mark Terranova, Scott Williams, and recently David Nalley
01:25:03 <ParadoxGuitarist> Did they get back to you, or you just haven't heard from them?
01:26:45 <ParadoxGuitarist> pdtodd: ?
01:27:01 <pdtodd> well, I waited for mark to respond for a week and a half. Scott did respond but gave me false information and hasn't responded to my question for over a week now. I just recently gave david an email today
01:27:50 <ParadoxGuitarist> Well it's not a instinatious process.
01:28:00 <ParadoxGuitarist> I'll talk to Scott when I see him next
01:28:23 <ParadoxGuitarist> They just finished big DB migration at his job and his car threw a spark plug today
01:28:24 <pdtodd> Well, I assumed that I'd get a response within a week
01:28:31 <ParadoxGuitarist> needless to say he's been busy.
01:28:37 <juggler> ugh on the sparkplug
01:28:43 <pdtodd> Oh, I'm sorry
01:28:43 <cydrobolt> Yes, many of the mentors have been busy recently
01:28:56 <cydrobolt> it's difficult for everyone to respond quickly sometimes
01:29:10 <ParadoxGuitarist> I would also reccommend Karsten Wade.
01:29:23 <cydrobolt> Mhm
01:29:41 <ParadoxGuitarist> Overall this process takes a while, so don't be discouraged by that.
01:29:49 <cydrobolt> yeah, definitely don't get discouraged
01:30:03 <wrnash> +1
01:30:25 <cydrobolt> A lot of things in the open source world can take some time, but you'll be fine once you get up and running
01:30:29 * ParadoxGuitarist took over 6 months or so for me.
01:30:35 <cydrobolt> Shall we move on to tickets?
01:30:39 <ParadoxGuitarist> yeah
01:30:43 <wrnash> Yes
01:30:43 <cydrobolt> #topic === Tickets ===
01:30:49 <cydrobolt> #link https://fedorahosted.org/famna/report/9
01:32:11 <wrnash> for Ticket #105 was the inventory ever completed?
01:32:54 <ParadoxGuitarist> award has it as far as I know
01:32:55 <cydrobolt> .famnaticket 105
01:32:59 <zodbot> cydrobolt: #105 (Event Box and Banner Handling for events) – FAmNA general trac - https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/105
01:34:26 <juggler> offhand, shouldn't the inventory be on the cloud and accessible to the ambassadors for safety? :) just a thought.
01:34:39 <ParadoxGuitarist> I don't really have anything else to add to these... we talked about new laptops, or a projector (and Rasberry Pi) for demos.
01:34:45 <cydrobolt> juggler, I think there is an inventory on the Wiki
01:34:51 <juggler> ah
01:38:13 <ParadoxGuitarist> that wiki page is depreciated.
01:38:43 <ParadoxGuitarist> at least for my box
01:39:09 * ParadoxGuitarist wanders off for a few minutes... bbl.
01:40:22 <cydrobolt> Okay, we may want to update it, then
01:40:43 <cydrobolt> We can ask award once he is around whether he obtained an inventory or not
01:42:18 <cydrobolt> #topic == Open Floor ===
01:42:24 <cydrobolt> Does anyone have anything else?
01:42:33 <wrnash> not at this time
01:42:56 <cydrobolt> ParadoxGuitarist, juggler, pdtodd?
01:43:21 <cydrobolt> Good meeting everyone
01:43:28 <cydrobolt> See you next week.
01:43:35 <wrnash> thanks
01:43:40 <cydrobolt> pdtodd, juggler, definitely get in touch with a mentor soon :)
