04:15:45 <mpduty> amit_, could you please carry on with the meeting,  I think that would be the best

04:16:13 <amit_> #topic agenda

04:17:32 <zsun> hi
04:17:41 <amit_> #topic FUDCon APAC 2015
04:17:50 <amit_> ok let me start by doing a brief recap of the event from last week
04:17:57 <zerng07> .hellomynameis zerng07
04:17:58 <zodbot> zerng07: zerng07 'Cheng-Chia Tseng' <pswo10680@gmail.com>
04:18:10 <amit_> we had quite a lot of people attending, many APAC ambassadors, which was great to see.
04:18:37 <amit_> we could also fly in people from NA and EU, and that helped in several discussions.
04:19:05 <amit_> we had nice ambassadors related discussions, one on the next FUDCon in APAC and one on just regional ambassador stuff
04:19:20 <amit_> notes from both have been sent to the ambassadors list, we can continue the conversation there.
04:19:39 <amit_> some people have posted blog posts on the event.
04:19:40 <amit_> we need more!
04:19:48 <amit_> so people who haven't blogged yet, please do so.
04:20:04 <amit_> it's even a requirement if you've been sponsored or subsidised to attend.
04:20:13 <amit_> we'll be sending out an email about it.
04:20:29 <amit_> so expect an email from praveenkumar about it
04:20:56 <amit_> #info praveenkumar to send reminder email to sponsored attendees and speakers to blog about FUDCon
04:21:14 <amit_> anyone have anything to comment about FUDCon?
04:21:20 <amit_> hope the travel back was smooth for all.
04:22:08 <mpduty> yes, amit_ it was really a great event and great experience meeting some of the finest Fedora contributers
04:23:26 <mpduty> I could meet my mentor kushal and personally speak to Harish on his talk
04:23:54 <kushal> .hellomynameis kushal
04:23:55 <zodbot> kushal: kushal 'Kushal Das' <kushaldas@gmail.com>
04:24:05 <rtnpro> mpduty, cool
04:24:20 <amit_> yea, we kept getting several reviews on sessions on twitter.  most of the sessions were well-liked.
04:24:43 <mpduty> I think after my discussion with Harish, I could finalize my PhD research topic
04:24:49 <somvannda_> amit_: I have a comment, if the Venue, hotel and eating place was nearer that would be great
04:24:53 <amit_> mpduty: that's awesome!
04:25:05 <amit_> somvannda_: eating place means FUDPub?
04:25:32 <somvannda_> amit_:  yeah
04:25:44 <amit_> somvannda_: so we chose to host people near to the RH office (and near to where most of us stay), so that stay would be comfortable, and we could be around when needed.
04:25:48 <amit_> somvannda_: but point taken.
04:26:07 <amit_> unfortunately for FUDPub, we couldn't find a venue closer to the college.
04:26:17 <mpduty> #chair kushal
04:26:17 <zodbot> Current chairs: amit_ gnokii kushal mpduty rtnpro somvanda_
04:26:23 <amit_> and yea, some buses got stuck in sat evening traffic :(
04:26:35 <amit_> somvannda_: hope you enjoyed fudpub nevertheless.
04:26:51 <kushal> hehe
04:26:57 <amit_> I don't think we've ever had a fudpub at a bowling place
04:27:15 <amit_> (which also had karaoke, music, dancing place, pool and fuzzball AND food and drinks) :)
04:27:22 <gnokii> negative other fudcon had
04:27:35 <amit_> gnokii: ah! which one?  I'll look it up.
04:28:15 <somvannda_> amit_: i did enjoyed, just it is a little bit hard for me to eat
04:28:36 <amit_> somvannda_: ah yea.  hope you did find something though.
04:28:49 <gnokii> I dont remember exactly, i just remember I did 2 years ago also social event in brno at bowling bar was quiet nice as the different cm systems competed
04:29:11 <amit_> so one note I think we can take is to ask for food preferences beforehand from attendees
04:29:28 <somvannda_> amit_: yeah thank you
04:29:42 <amit_> hm, not sure if we've had a fudcon in brno, maybe you're thinking flock
04:30:10 <gnokii> we had fudcon in brno
04:30:13 <amit_> any other topics for today?
04:31:27 <kushal> I saw one mail asking for funds for i18n FAD in Tokyo
04:31:50 <amit_> #topic FAD in Tokyo
04:32:04 <kushal> * Tokiyo
04:32:28 <somvannda_> i also want to do release party F22 too
04:32:28 <kushal> amit_, I don't think anyone from that team is here.
04:32:31 <zsun> FAD should be talked with Council I think
04:32:44 <kushal> zsun, Yes, they have sent the email to the council.
04:33:10 <amit_> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_G11N_2015?rd=FAD_I18n_2015
04:33:21 <zsun> we are also planning FAD in China but it seems we may miss it since most of us a little busy recently
04:33:37 <amit_> 5-7 nov in Tokyo, Japan.
04:33:42 <amit_> since no one's here, we can skip this one.
04:33:48 <amit_> anyone went to HKOSC?
04:33:53 <kushal> Tokyo is the correct spelling.
04:33:57 <amit_> zsun: did you go there?
04:34:09 <zsun> you mean FAD in China?
04:34:23 <amit_> zsun: no, the event in HK?
04:34:42 <zsun> yes, I was there last week.
04:34:55 <amit_> zsun: what was the name of hte event?
04:35:00 <gnokii> !
04:35:09 <amit_> gnokii: go ahead
04:35:23 <zsun> amit_: Hong Kong Open Source Conference 2015
04:35:32 <amit_> #topic Hong Kong Open Source Conference 2015
04:35:38 <amit_> #info zsun attended last week
04:35:48 <amit_> zsun: can you give a short report of how it went and what you did there?
04:36:00 <gnokii> amit_: we have not discuss it anyway its a FAD so its not our concern as that money can be from FPLs budget and they chose that way, what is good
04:36:07 <gnokii> eof
04:36:28 <amit_> gnokii: about the FAD, yea.  no need to discuss that one, agreed.
04:36:34 <kushal> gnokii, but the ambassadors should know about the event.
04:36:40 <zsun> gnokii: yes, FAD budget comes from OSAS directly
04:37:06 <zsun> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HKOSC_2015
04:37:08 <gnokii> yes and is handled in cooperation with FPL :)

04:38:10 <kushal> zsun, you do not have to be a chair to add links etc
04:38:24 <zsun> oh, I do not know that. Thanks for your info.
04:38:29 <somvannda_> !
04:38:34 <amit_> zsun: can you give a short report of how it went and what you did there?
04:39:08 <zsun> amit_: yes. I already finished my report and I will summarize it.
04:39:57 <zsun> in  general, I learned about the local communities and the local open source environments there.

04:40:54 <gnokii> https://i-zsun.rhcloud.com/2015/07/01/day2-hkoscon2015/
04:40:59 <zsun> thanks gnokii
04:41:46 <zsun> FOSS guys in Hong Kong still interests in Fedora, but Fedora did not show up much there.
04:42:52 <zsun> But they told me that generally people in Hong Kong cares less about Operating System. So even HK Linux User Group do not have much event now.
04:43:22 <amit_> zsun: I read that you distributed live dvds.  did you have F22 dvds?
04:43:50 <zsun> amit_: no. I bring F21 ones there as our plan
04:43:57 <amit_> hmm.
04:44:08 <gnokii> so Hk ambassadors are not been there?
04:44:32 <zsun> gnokii: Yes. None of the HK ambassadors shows up.
04:44:43 <zsun> and Kaio is no longer in Hong Kong.
04:45:12 <gnokii> ok noted, lets see if one of them goes coscup
04:45:26 <zsun> I hope so.
04:45:46 <amit_> zsun: thanks.
04:46:15 <amit_> #topic Release Parties
04:46:26 <amit_> any release parties being planned?
04:46:43 <zsun> China are waiting for response from Siddhesh on DVDs.
04:46:55 <zsun> After DVDs are ready we will have it.
04:46:57 <amit_> zsun: we've given 750 DVDs to Harish.
04:47:10 <amit_> zsun: maybe he already has a way to ship them to China.
04:47:19 <amit_> but I will ping Siddhesh to send an update to the list.
04:47:23 <gnokii> amit he is still in india
04:47:39 <zsun> amit_: We already have a mail thread with Siddhesh. so I think he will reply soon
04:48:00 <amit_> zsun: yes, he's corresponding with RH facilities teams in both India and China.
04:48:14 <zsun> yes. I am in that thread.
04:48:46 <amit_> zsun: I see, so you are aware of latest updates :)
04:49:09 <mpduty> amit_, we may be having a release party in Ranchi, probably in August first week
04:50:05 <zsun> amit_:  Right. At the moment I handle the communication with Red Hat Beijing and local Fedora community.
04:50:16 <gnokii> Somvannda: gots disconnected he has RP on 31st July
04:50:30 <amit_> ok.
04:50:41 <amit_> kushal: any plans for RPs in Pune?
04:50:47 <zsun> our date will come out as soon as the decision of DVD are out.
04:50:48 <amit_> rtnpro: similar in Bangalore?
04:51:18 <kushal> amit_, we will have targeted events in Pune, we will not call them Release parties as the colleges have issues with the name.
04:52:22 <amit_> ok, looks like we have a few lined up.
04:52:28 <amit_> any other topics for today?
04:52:41 * rtnpro reads up
04:53:18 <rtnpro> amit_, today, in Fedora meetup, we'll be discussing and planning about Fedora 22 release party
04:53:29 <rtnpro> amit_, we'll update on the mailing list
04:53:33 <amit_> rtnpro: ok, thanks.
04:53:46 <amit_> #topic open floor
04:54:20 <amit_> we have about 6 minutes left.
04:54:25 <kushal> Should have a FUDCon after party :)
04:54:39 <amit_> kushal: heh; amongst ourselves?
04:55:04 <kushal> amit_, yeah :)
04:55:05 <amit_> kushal: party after catching up on sleep sounds like a good idea :)
04:55:13 <kushal> amit_, I am working on it.
04:55:17 <mpduty> what about FUDCon 2016, anything finalized in Pune?
04:55:21 <kushal> amit_, btw, jiri became sick.
04:55:42 <amit_> mpduty: we identified possible solutions that the bidding team of Cambodia could work on.
04:55:45 <kushal> amit_, He is feeling better today, he will go to Mumbai in the afternoon.
04:56:08 <amit_> mpduty: they need to convince us (and themselves) that they have a good plan in place.  primary objection was getting money inside cambodia.
04:56:18 <amit_> mpduty: a plan was drafted, and some people are going to follow up on that.
04:56:28 <amit_> kushal: ok, good to know!
04:56:47 <amit_> kushal: he looked good day before yesterday.
04:56:52 <mpduty> amit_, okay
04:57:01 <amit_> kushal: he said he hadn't had much to eat, and that he just needed to eat to feel better.
04:57:18 <kushal> amit_, yesterday we took him to hospital.
04:57:25 <amit_> kushal: hope he's feeling much better now.
04:57:38 <gnokii> ok we note indians tried to poison sesivany and gnokii
04:57:48 <amit_> gnokii: you?
04:57:56 <amit_> gnokii: I think you were allergic to fish, isn't it?
04:58:12 <gnokii> yes, and I got some ate fudpub
04:58:35 <amit_> gnokii: if I were allergic to something, I would ensure I don't eat that food in the first place :)
04:58:52 <amit_> gnokii: e.g. I'm vegetarian.
04:59:01 <gnokii> if you not can identify it
04:59:02 <amit_> gnokii: so I ask if something doesn't contain meat and fish before I touch it.
04:59:08 <amit_> gnokii: yes, so you should ask!
04:59:15 <kushal> gnokii, that is a serious allegation.
04:59:24 <amit_> gnokii: I mean you can't blame us for something you didn't do right
04:59:35 <gnokii> yeah answer was pakora and i didnt know that pakora can be fish to :D
04:59:50 <gnokii> amit was a joke such shit can happen
04:59:57 <amit_> gnokii: so you should ask 'does this have fish'?
05:00:08 <amit_> gnokii: like I always ask for 'no meat, no fish' food everywhere I go.
05:00:20 <amit_> gnokii: and I add "but eggs are fine" :)
05:00:47 <zsun> Last year when preparing FUDCon, we also checked if any speaker is vegetarian or Muslim dishes only.
05:01:22 <zsun> it really takes a lot of time
05:02:37 <amit_> zsun: yea, we had a few Muslims this time and I believe they were taken care of.  there's a huge Muslim population here, so finding halaal food isn't a problem.
05:03:04 <amit_> ok - we've reached the end of scheduled time.  so if there's nothing else, I'll end the meeting.
05:03:10 <amit_> waiting for 1 min.
05:03:38 <gnokii> its ramazan so food was not a question :)
05:04:21 <amit_> gnokii: oh but after sundown they do eat :)
05:04:24 <amit_> (and before sunrise)
05:04:34 <gnokii> yes I know
05:05:10 <amit_> ok - nothing else, so I'll end meeting now.
05:05:13 <amit_> see you all later.
