21:11:38 <giannisk> Go for it jflory7
21:13:05 <jflory7> Over the past couple of weeks, multiple sub-projects / groups / SIGs have been publishing "Year in Review" articles for 2015. This includes highlights of 2015 and goals in 2016. It's a good way to get an idea of what is going on in Fedora quickly and easily! This includes groups like Marketing, FAmNA, CommOps, and more following in coming weeks.
21:13:06 <jflory7> https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/tag/year-in-review-2015/
21:13:38 <jflory7> EMEA is also encouraged to write one as well, and CommOps would be glad to help provide support for that as well. :)

21:14:36 <giannisk> Thank you jflory7, will see to it. :)

21:21:23 <giannisk> #topic Requests
21:21:32 * giannisk takes a look at the EMEA trac.

21:23:05 <giannisk> #info Ticket #549 - Funding request for Fabian Affolter for CLT 2016
21:23:10 <giannisk> #link https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/549
21:24:00 <giannisk> Fuel expenses for rsc, jsimon and fab to go to Chemnitzer Linux Tage 2016.
21:24:55 <giannisk> Ticket mentions that hotel costs 60 per night, however it doesn't state how many nights will be needed.
21:25:10 <giannisk> Or at least how much money is being requested in total.
21:25:14 <giannisk> ping mitzie
21:25:30 <rsc> giannisk: 2 nights
21:25:35 * mitzie is here
21:25:54 <giannisk> Perfect rsc, thank you for clarifying. :)
21:26:16 <giannisk> So that would be 60x2 + 90 = 210 EUR in total.

21:28:36 <giannisk> #link https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/548
21:29:08 <giannisk> Accommodation expenses for PyCon SK 2016
21:29:35 <giannisk> Total amount being requested is 262.4 USD, for 3 nights.
21:29:52 <giannisk> That would be for 5 Fedora contributors it seems.
21:30:46 <giannisk> +1 from me, there's still money in the budget.

21:44:11 <giannisk> This weekend there is also DevConf 2016 in Brno, Czech Republic.
21:44:31 <GITNE> I was thinking about ordering a LED lit Fedora logo sign for a booth
21:44:46 <giannisk> Where we're going to hold an ambassadors meetup, on Sunday. A mini-FAD to help plan stuff for the EMEA region.
21:46:48 <giannisk> Will keep you posted.
21:46:56 <giannisk> Anything else regarding events? Anything to add?
21:47:09 <jflory7> I can't remember where I saw it, but I recall hearing an APAC Ambassador or two were looking to join the meet-up too.
21:47:23 <jflory7> I think it might have been in channel, can't find reference to it in my inbox
21:47:59 <giannisk> jflory7: We will make sure to set up some form of remote communication, so that would be possible.
21:48:31 <jflory7> Cool -- they were excited to meet some of the folks in EMEA :)
21:48:51 <giannisk> Perfect :)
21:49:49 <giannisk> If there isn't anything else, we're moving on to the next topic.
