20:13:23 <nmilosev> #link https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-27/f-27-ambassadors-tasks.html
20:13:32 <haghighi> :))
20:13:53 <nmilosev> So I checked the release schedule and was quite surprised that we are only one and a bit months away from F27!
20:14:10 <nmilosev> This release went really fast for me, maybe because there are no more alpha releases
20:14:24 <lupinix> yes, and due to f26 delay
20:14:53 <nmilosev> #topic Events
20:15:04 <nmilosev> Anyone here went to Flock? jonatoni?
20:16:21 <haghighi> jonatoni and robyduck
20:16:46 <marianab[m]> I was there too :D
20:16:47 <jonatoni> yep
20:17:09 <jonatoni> together with nb we had a workshop
20:17:21 <jonatoni> related to Ambassadors Future
20:18:07 <jonatoni> where we discussed even about the article that mttdm has posted
20:18:47 <jonatoni> and if you have not read it yet please do it :P
20:18:56 <jonatoni> let me check the link
20:19:33 <jonatoni> https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/ambassadors-fedora-strategy/
20:19:37 <jonatoni> this one
20:20:12 <jonatoni> also we were discussing to make the budget process more clear
20:20:25 <jonatoni> not only for ambassadors but also to other people
20:21:06 <jonatoni> will try to write an article asap to explain in more details about the workshop that we had
20:21:19 <nmilosev> Great! :)
20:21:25 <nmilosev> Thanks for the report
20:21:46 <jonatoni> overall it was a great event, I like a lot the change that we had this year that was more hands on oriented
20:22:36 <jonatoni> btw mariana[m] is the newest ambassador here :)
20:22:54 <jonatoni> would be great if you can introduce yourself :)
20:22:57 <jonatoni> eof
20:23:08 <nmilosev> Oh hi marianab[m]! Can you please make a short introduction?
20:23:15 * nmilosev thanks jonatoni
20:23:49 <haghighi> thanks jonatoni, hello marianab[m] :)
20:24:53 <haghighi> I'm also new :P but I'm introduced myself in past meeting
20:24:59 <marianab[m]> Hello everyone! My name is Mariana and I come from Albania. I started contributing to Fedora almost two years ago and only a week before Flock I got accepted ass an ambassador
20:25:29 <lupinix> marianab[m]: you're welcome :)
20:25:52 <nmilosev> Please ask if you have any questions and welcome! :)
20:26:22 <nmilosev> We're still at events, any other events worth mentioning?
20:26:47 <jonatoni> btw anyone who will organize a FWD?
20:26:54 <jonatoni> FWD - Fedora Women Day
20:26:55 <lupinix> in late august we had FrOSCon here in germany
20:27:19 <marianab[m]> Thank you :)
20:28:58 <nmilosev> lupinix, how was it?
20:29:23 <nmilosev> jonatoni, in Serbia I don't think so
20:29:37 <nmilosev> We should definitely do something in the future
20:29:55 <lupinix> quite nice, bookwar, mitzie, tyll, raphgro and me managed the booth, mitzie gave a nice copr workshop
20:30:18 <lupinix> but less people (in general) compared to last years
20:30:54 <lupinix> and we hacked openSUSE :P
20:31:30 <nmilosev> lupinix, you should checkout the new bluetooth vulnerability if you're into hacking :D
20:31:37 <nmilosev> there is an article on arstechnica
20:31:48 <lupinix> they had some tombola with tshirts, bags and so on, we managed to get a "proud fedora user" tshirt in there :P
20:32:02 <nmilosev> Oh, that's different kind of hacking!
20:32:06 <nmilosev> (the better kind)
20:32:16 <nmilosev> Good job! lupinix++
20:32:18 <zodbot> nmilosev: Karma for lupinix changed to 6 (for the f26 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
20:32:48 <nmilosev> We have Balccon2k17 this week
20:32:49 <lupinix> another interesting observation: they switched back to DVDs
20:32:55 <nmilosev> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BalCCon_2k17
20:33:10 <nmilosev> lupinix, any chance to talk with someone about that decision?
20:33:16 <lupinix> because usb sticks are too expensive
20:33:38 <lupinix> they got some sponsoring from open source press for the DVDs
20:33:45 <jonatoni> lupinix++
20:33:47 <zodbot> jonatoni: Karma for lupinix changed to 7 (for the f26 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
20:34:23 <lupinix> and they think about something like fedorator too
20:35:06 <jonatoni> nmilosev good luck with Balccon2k17 :)
20:35:12 <jonatoni> nmilosev++
20:35:12 <zodbot> jonatoni: Karma for nmilosev changed to 5 (for the f26 release cycle):  https://badges.fedoraproject.org/tags/cookie/any
20:35:21 <nmilosev> jonatoni, thanks, sad you won't be there :(
20:35:28 <nmilosev> We will have booth all three days
20:35:42 <lupinix> nmilosev: good luck
20:36:02 <nmilosev> thanks!
20:36:07 <nmilosev> Let's move on
20:36:09 <marianab[m]> Good luck
20:36:16 <nmilosev> #topic Action items from previous meetings
20:36:18 <lupinix> another event next week: http://ag2017.uni-goettingen.de/splinter/escience.php
20:36:22 <lupinix> "event"
20:36:24 <lupinix> oh
20:36:25 <nmilosev> oh sorry lupinix
20:36:27 <lupinix> too late :D
20:36:33 <nmilosev> nevermind, never too late!
20:36:35 <haghighi> I think it's amazing if we can use a smarthphone with an OTG cable as Fedorator, I don't know it's possible or not
20:37:26 <lupinix> that "event" is a talk about fedora astronomy at the biggest astrophysical conference in germany and partitipation at GAVO booth
20:37:29 <haghighi> e.g. write and Android app to create bootable USB drive
20:37:38 <nmilosev> haghighi, I had that idea as well
20:37:46 <lupinix> too promote free software and free standards like virtual observatory
20:38:12 <haghighi> ‎nmilosev‎: great :)
20:39:43 <haghighi> sorry create an Android*
20:39:50 <haghighi> eof
20:39:56 <nmilosev> We have some action items
20:39:59 <nmilosev> Let's do those
20:40:04 <nmilosev> #link https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/emea_ambassadors/emea_ambassadors.2017-08-16-20.00.html
20:40:09 <nmilosev> #info mitzie to write to ML about Fedorator distribution
20:40:17 <nmilosev> I don't recall reading about this one
20:40:24 <nmilosev> mitzie was probably busy with flock
20:40:43 <nmilosev> jonatoni, do you remember anything about this? It was about who gets the first batch of fedorators?
20:41:01 <jonatoni> giannisk will write an email about it
20:41:06 <jonatoni> maybe he forgot
20:41:25 <nmilosev> Okay, I'll just reaction it for the next meeting
20:41:43 <nmilosev> #action mitzie to write to ML about Fedorator distribution
20:41:52 <nmilosev> #info nmilosev to write to ML about meeting skip
20:41:59 * nmilosev forgot about this
20:42:18 <nmilosev> Luckily no confusion was made, because everyone was on holiday :D
20:42:46 <nmilosev> #info JacobCZ to write to the ML about F26 DVDs in the near future
20:43:15 <nmilosev> I won't reaction this one, we will catch JacobCZ once and see what he found out about this
20:43:19 <jonatoni> btw from the meeting that we had today with FAmSCo we talked about this
20:43:25 <nmilosev> DVDs?
20:43:45 <jonatoni> we will not produce DVDs anymore but if any of the regions want to produce they can request budget for it
20:44:07 <nmilosev> That seems reasonable, do you know about artwork?
20:44:11 <lupinix> makes sense
20:44:33 <jonatoni> artwork about the DVD sleeves?
20:45:07 <nmilosev> Yeah, sorry bad wording
20:45:37 <jonatoni> yeah we putted it as an action item
20:45:43 <jonatoni> because other regions might need it
20:45:55 <jonatoni> or countries*
20:47:07 <nmilosev> Great news
20:47:14 <nmilosev> Let's make a short ifo
20:48:07 <nmilosev> #info DVDs will not be produces anymore, however regions can request budget to produce them. Artwork will be discussed later
20:48:23 <nmilosev> Thanks jonatoni
