20:04:24 <mitzie> !
20:04:31 <nmilosev> mitzie, yes
20:04:40 <mitzie> I have a few updates about the budget. We got the final budget for Q1. The final amount is $4100, and I have already allocated about 3/4. I included all the completed events that fall in Q1, plus some known upcoming events like OSCAL, DORS/CLUC, and one conference in Samos. If you have any upcoming events happening until May 30 in your area that you plan to
20:04:40 <mitzie> participate in, please let me know either in Telegram or via email asap, so I can include it in the budget. For not planned expenses, there is a chance we might not be able to sponsor them, so let me know asap about any events in your area that you want to participate in.
20:06:01 <nmilosev> The budget is also mentioned in the council fad report, for the record. :)
20:06:12 <nmilosev> Thank you mitzie, eof?

20:15:27 <lupinix> mitzie: can we assume that all these tickets are fine with budget?
20:16:25 <mitzie> Lupinix yes, although we are 30$ over the budget, but we will figure it out
20:16:32 <lupinix> just to avoid that we discuss that for every single ticket :D
20:16:36 <lupinix> nice, thanks mitzie

20:30:14 <nmilosev> I have been following some pagure swag requests recently and have to remind everyone planning a release event to request early to avoid customs issues. :(
20:30:58 <nmilosev> Also, you can use https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_tips and add your country laws.

20:32:29 <rsc> I would like to come back to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_tips, which should mention FROM where the shipping happens
20:33:04 <nmilosev> Yes, that is a good point. Sadly for us (Serbia) there is no difference between EU/USA/other.
20:33:09 <rsc> Most shipping is right now EU - non-EU
20:33:13 <rsc> EOF
20:33:34 <nmilosev> Most of the problems indeed are EU -> non-EU
20:33:57 <nmilosev> In Serbia, the laws are same regardless of the source country :(
20:34:47 <nmilosev> Thanks for mentioning this, rsc
20:34:51 <nmilosev> lupinix, yes please
20:34:51 <giannisk> Best workaround is to, if possible, give swag to EU contributors traveling to non-EU events in EMEA>]

20:42:11 <nmilosev> mitzie, yes please
20:44:52 <mitzie> I also wrote an email a few weeks back, but I disn get a reply. Regarding the admin privileges in pagure, I would propose to remove the admin privileges from all the members in the emea group, because it's dangerous if everyone had admin access to the issue trackers
20:45:20 <eischmann> I agree with this.
20:45:22 <giannisk> mitzie: +1
20:45:30 <jonatoni> +1
20:45:32 <lupinix> makes sense
20:45:33 <lupinix> +1

20:45:41 <ardian_> +1 yep
20:45:55 <frantisekz> +1
20:46:01 <robyduck> +1
20:46:08 <mitzie> Although the issue trackers won't be visible anynore if you visit the emea ambassadors group page
20:46:31 <nmilosev> If this doesn't create further issues with opening/modifying/viewing issues, I'm +1 too
20:46:55 <mitzie> No, everything else will remain the same
20:47:02 <lupinix> well, we can undo if we run into issues
20:47:09 <nmilosev> Awesome, if you need help, please ping me :)
20:47:18 <mitzie> lupinix +1
20:47:49 <b10n1k_> i am not sure about that mitzie
20:48:20 <b10n1k_> are there alternative solutions to prevent 'accidents'?
20:48:21 <lupinix> b10n1k_: why? what issues do you expect?
20:48:44 <mitzie> The whole group would get commit access(practically the same access as before), they just won't be able to delete tickets or even delete the whole issue tracker
20:49:37 <b10n1k_> let s say that someone delete a ticket? can we track him down?
20:49:52 <b10n1k_> and undo ofcourse?
20:50:14 <jwf> mitzie: To clarify, you mean just granting the ticket ACL to the group?
20:50:24 <mitzie> We can see who did it, but we can't undo the action
20:50:50 <mitzie> jwf, what do you mean?
20:51:46 <jwf> mitzie: What do you mean to do by revoking admin access from @ambassadors-emea? Change their level of privilege / access control level or remove them from the group?
20:51:56 <jwf> * remove them from the repo
20:52:08 <mitzie> No, change the access from admin to commit access
20:52:13 <jwf> Ahhh, okay
20:52:16 <veon> I have just been added to the pagure group, and the first thing I noticed was that I could erase it
20:52:34 <mitzie> So technically they won't be able to do more advanced administrative stuff
20:52:36 <jwf> mitzie: I might suggest filing a ticket against Pagure to request that every level of access should show up on the group page. :)
20:52:47 <jwf> I imagine pingou and the Pagure team would be receptive to that
