20:05:31 <nmilosev> Anyone else has any other announcement?
20:05:45 <mitzie> !
20:05:54 <nmilosev> yes mitzie
20:07:17 <mitzie> I sent an email earlier today, basically Brian and me are trying to document the EMEA expenses from last year, so if you want to create a request and ask for funding for an event that will be completed by February 28 (DevConf, FOSDEM), please open a ticket and get approval before January 20.
20:07:31 <nmilosev> (I got the link in the requests section :) )
20:08:06 <jflory> (Plane Tak ing off, have to go - will read minutes!)
20:08:14 <mitzie> #info We don't know the exact figures yet for FY18
20:08:31 <mitzie> but I'm pretty sure that we will receive less money compared to last year.
20:09:57 <mitzie> Once we have the final numbers from council, we will make our event plan and decide in which events we will participate and allocate money
20:10:17 <mitzie> eof
20:10:25 <nmilosev> thanks mitzie
20:10:47 <nmilosev> Can I just ask, is the google sheet link irrelevant now? Was that for fy17?

20:13:38 <mitzie> Actually, we are documenting our expenses elsewhere now, and I don't update this sheet anymore
20:14:10 <nmilosev> Is it on the wiki?
20:14:34 <mitzie> The budget for all regions is in pagure https://pagure.io/fedora-budget
20:14:38 <mitzie> #link https://pagure.io/fedora-budget
20:15:16 <mitzie> There is a ledger file for every region, and all the expenses are documented there
20:15:37 <bexelbie> automated reports will be generated
20:15:46 <nmilosev> I see there is a linked sheet here still, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/Budget:2017
20:15:52 <nmilosev> That is going away?
20:16:24 <mitzie> yes, and it's easier to see who reimbursed a ticket, generate reports, etc
20:16:38 <nmilosev> got it, thanks for clearing it up
20:16:44 <nmilosev> will include the pagure link in the future
20:16:52 <mitzie> nmilosev: For the time being no, but there won't be a gsheet for FY18
20:16:59 <mitzie> everything will be on pagure
20:17:10 <nmilosev> understood :)
20:17:11 <mitzie> Bex will explain everything when the time comes

20:22:29 <nmilosev> #link https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking/ticket/648
20:23:27 <nmilosev> This is a part of let's equip the community initiative?
20:24:26 <giannisk> jonatoni: More or less I believe :)
20:24:40 <jonatoni_> Yes nmilosev
20:24:55 <giannisk> Since we were doing several events in Albania and Greece and our current roll-ups are really bad (and old), we though of producing new ones.
20:25:08 <giannisk> s/though/thought
20:25:26 <nmilosev> These are made locally?
20:25:32 <giannisk> And of course, we can take those banners when traveling abroad to represent the project in other countries.
20:25:39 <jonatoni_> Yes locally
20:25:51 <nmilosev> Great!
20:25:56 <giannisk> nmilosev: They will be produced locally, yes, because it would be really hard to co-ordinate mass production for all EMEA countries.
20:26:10 <nmilosev> mitzie, budget is ok for this?
20:26:34 <mitzie> yes yes, +1
20:26:34 <giannisk> Btw, if other communities are in need of new banners, they can always request funding from the regional budget and produce them locally. :)
