04:38:43 <FranciscoD> We need to increase the number of events we do.
04:39:06 <FranciscoD> We also need to learn to follow the protocol for fedora events
04:39:44 <FranciscoD> That helps getting and regulating the amount of swag/goodies for each event

04:40:02 <magie> +1
04:40:06 <born2linux> +1
04:40:14 <FranciscoD> so, I'd like to discuss events under this topic, when they've been added to the fedora events page

04:40:45 <FranciscoD> otherwise, we just come in and mention "so and so events in so and so region is planned"
04:40:57 <FranciscoD> and we really dont take any steps towards them

04:44:26 <bckurera> further APAC trac can also be used.

04:44:39 <FranciscoD> I had made him open a trac ticket

04:45:20 <bckurera> please update FranciscoD
04:45:21 <FranciscoD> He still needs to add more data, but I'd like to get him some swag for the event at least
04:45:51 <FranciscoD> He's a new ambassador, one we expect to stick around. So I'd really like to encourage him :)
04:46:04 * harish back at keyboard

04:51:04 <bckurera> Harish is handling that as far as I am known
04:51:20 <bckurera> but with the taxation problem there is no central point of contact
04:51:28 <harish> bckurera, only for those requests I get - so for for CDs.

04:52:20 <MarkDude> Swag is shipped from one area, not two or more?
04:52:21 <tuanta> that's the main reason
04:52:21 <harish> thanks bckurera
04:52:24 <tuanta> a big problem
04:52:34 <kaio> I cannot seed because AU postage is sky high.
04:52:57 <MarkDude> Has their been any research on different combos of shipping- ir at we at cheap rate now?
04:53:15 <harish> MarkDude, i was going to suggest that.
04:53:26 <bckurera> !
04:53:44 <FranciscoD> MarkDude: eof when you're done :P
04:53:46 <tuanta> please FranciscoD
04:53:51 <harish> can each Ambassador put on the APAC page the relative costs of things like tshirts, stickers, decals, CDs and also shipping (average costs)

04:54:26 <udinnet> harish: That is a very nice idea
04:54:55 <harish> with a table like that, we can then decide who makes what and what gets shipped etc.
04:54:56 <FranciscoD> #action FranciscoD find out shipping charges for t shirts stickers goodies from Bangalore through India and abroad
04:55:09 <FranciscoD> please make action items for yourself, mentioning the area you're in
04:55:29 <udinnet> So that we can get an rough idea about SWAG shipping costs. cool
04:55:41 <FranciscoD> Can we also have this info on the wiki? That shipping is an issue inside APAC?

04:55:53 <bckurera> #action bckurera find out shipping charges for swags from Colombo through Sri Lanka and abroad
04:56:07 <udinnet> +1 bckurera
04:56:09 <bckurera> nice, any ideas or move
04:56:30 <FranciscoD> harish: would it be better if people got their swag made and asked for reimbursements? That would cause some redundancy, but it may be cheaper than sending stuff from one place to another?
04:56:35 <harish> and i can see that becoming a app that we can plug into and figure out what the best locations are to do various things.
04:56:54 <tuanta> +1 FranciscoD, absolutely
04:56:57 <harish> FranciscoD, indeed. that's what i've been recommending.
04:57:06 <tuanta> we decided that way for Vietnam
04:57:36 <udinnet> That is the best and cheaper way
04:57:37 <FranciscoD> #info recommend Ambassadors get their swag after reimbursement approval from APAC, request reimbursements after event reports + photos are in.
04:57:38 <udinnet> +1
04:57:51 <FranciscoD> harish: that clear enough?
04:57:53 <bckurera> !
04:57:59 <tuanta> + invoices, FranciscoD
04:58:00 <harish> FranciscoD, yes
04:58:04 <FranciscoD> ah!
04:58:06 <FranciscoD> stupid me
04:58:21 <FranciscoD> #info recommend Ambassadors get their swag after reimbursement approval from APAC, request reimbursements after event reports + photos + invoies are in.
04:58:39 <harish> we need to have the reimbursements ONLY done after proof of event.
04:58:44 * FranciscoD just realized he called himself stupid in the logs :$
04:59:00 <FranciscoD> harish: yes, we're going to try and implement the Event guidelines more strictly
04:59:12 <harish> also a timeout.
04:59:15 <harish> why timeout?
04:59:25 <FranciscoD> #info FOLLOW EVENT GUIDELINES IF YOU WANT SWAG AND REIMBURSEMENT
04:59:36 <harish> because I don't know when something is coming in and hate to have to track down something from 3-6 months back.
04:59:50 <FranciscoD> harish: what period would you recommend?
05:00:08 <harish> that's a good question.
05:00:19 <harish> well, i would say no later thatn 1 month from event.
05:00:24 <FranciscoD> Great
05:00:31 <dramsey> +1
05:00:49 <bckurera> +1
05:00:53 <tuanta> we already have guidelines, FranciscoD
05:00:54 <FranciscoD> #info Period of ONE MONTH after the event for claiming reimbursements (submitting of invoices etc.). else, claim LAPSES
05:01:05 <FranciscoD> tuanta: yeah, but I don't see people in APAC following them really
05:01:15 <bckurera> !
05:01:22 <harish> i have stuff that i've asked for like receipts etc that don't show up for a long time and when it does, either i don't know of it and then what happens is that we (or I) look tardy in reimbursing. that is not a good thing.
05:01:23 <FranciscoD> there was the gnunify in India recently. People went. No tickets were ever opened!
05:01:25 <tuanta> guidelines should be shared by all
05:01:45 <udinnet> FranciscoD: There maybe some difficulties too
05:01:56 <udinnet> bckurera please
05:02:04 <bckurera> hey thanks
05:02:06 <FranciscoD> harish: do the invoices have to be mailed to you, or are scanned copies attached to the trac ticket sufficient?
05:02:14 * FranciscoD wants to get everything in the clear
05:02:17 <bckurera> we need to follow guidelines +1
05:02:21 <tuanta> attach to the ticket
05:02:27 <bckurera> further APAC trac can be used
05:02:33 <FranciscoD> it should be used
05:02:40 <harish> only scanned ones. i don't want to receive any paper please.
05:02:48 <bckurera> add any request to trac so that can be discussed and take actions
05:03:04 <bckurera> later we used FAmSCo trac
05:03:05 <FranciscoD> #info invoices need to be scanned and attached to trac ticket for reimbursement claim
05:03:05 <harish> yes, trac ticket with all the requisite receipts, payment vouchers etc would suffice.
05:03:09 <bckurera> eof
05:03:26 <FranciscoD> good, stuff is clearer, in more detail :)
05:03:26 <tuanta> reimbursement guidelines here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Reimbursements
05:03:54 <FranciscoD> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events -> everything related to holding a fedora event :P
05:04:02 <bckurera> #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-apac
05:04:14 <harish> can someone check if the trac can send alerts when something has been in the queue for one month?
05:04:14 <udinnet> it is almost 1 hour :P
05:04:21 <FranciscoD> we can move on please
05:04:28 * FranciscoD is sorry for going off agenda
