11:47:46 * pjp remember mention of number 15-17 new ambassadors
11:48:16 <Amita> pjp, we can stock them in order to save cost
11:48:34 <pjp> We haven't seen as those many ambassadors here in ages,
11:49:12 <Amita> pjp, and I have seen the same one's since ages, their old t-shirt may need to be replaced

11:55:04 <pjp> #topic Open Floor
11:55:53 <sankarshan> any events coming up which aren't specifically distribution/OS related but would be good for speaking/presence? i haven't seen much of that in recent times
11:56:06 * sankarshan muses that there is of course no shortage of events these days
11:56:15 <pjp> Fossasia Summit 2018
11:56:39 * pjp is due to attend,
11:56:51 <siddharthvipul1> sumantrom[m], skamath and I are here at Anokha (Amrita University)
11:57:26 <siddharthvipul1> Event is about Open Source Contribution, Git, Ansible and Fedora of course
11:57:33 <siddharthvipul1> it's more of a workshop
11:58:11 <pjp> siddharthvipul1: When is it?
11:58:27 <siddharthvipul1> We just came from there (9-4pm)
11:58:37 <siddharthvipul1> 22-23 Feb, so tomorrow as well
11:58:40 <pjp> Ah,
11:58:49 <GIANT_CRAB> Hi
11:58:54 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: Hi
11:58:57 <siddharthvipul1> we had around 50 participant
11:59:01 <GIANT_CRAB> Im late
11:59:12 <siddharthvipul1> s/participant/participants
11:59:26 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: We are talking about upcoming events, we(Fedora) could participate at and plan for
11:59:46 <pjp> siddharthvipul1: I see,
11:59:47 <GIANT_CRAB> Thanks pjp
12:00:17 <pjp> I checked with Ambassadors in SG if they need stickers/badges that I can carry, we have some numbers here -> https://ethercalc.org/f27
12:00:19 <sumantrom[m]> Coimbatore
12:00:23 <pjp> #link https://ethercalc.org/f27
12:01:00 <pjp> There is also Rootconf in May and then of course DevConf.in in July.
12:02:27 <sumantrom[m]> Good
12:02:43 <pjp> sumantrom[m]: So, the stickers/badge production is blocking on Uday?
12:03:04 <pjp> sumantrom[m]: do we need to ping him?
12:03:09 <siddharthvipul1> is there any Fedora booth in rootconf? I would love to be there
12:03:41 <pjp> siddharthvipul1: We could plan for it if it makes sense to have one,
12:03:55 <siddharthvipul1> pjp, sure :)
12:04:17 <sumantrom[m]> I mailed you , Uday didn't ack anything. You might have a talk and see if something can be done
12:04:18 <pjp> Last time I think it was discussed that the audiences is more professionals than students,
12:04:38 <pjp> sumantrom[m]: Okay, cool! Thank you.
12:04:45 * sumantrom[m] loves booths always +1 to rootconf fedora booth
12:05:37 <pjp> sumantrom[m]: siddharthvipul1 If we are to have booth there, what activities could we plan at the booth?
12:06:10 <pjp> Considering the audience that is
12:06:41 <sumantrom[m]> We can talk about modularity , rust and fedora on ARM
12:06:48 * siddharthvipul_ missed few messages (network problem)
12:06:49 <sumantrom[m]> That's what comes to my mind
12:07:13 <pjp> Hmmn,
12:09:08 <GIANT_CRAB> bexelbie did mention about our goals during FAD. We dont have to talk about tech topics of Fedora. We should focus more on getting people interested in contributing - get people to be excited and give a talk about convenience of rust
12:09:34 <GIANT_CRAB> Convenience of rust on Fedora, or whatsoever
12:10:14 <pjp> I see
12:10:18 <sumantrom[m]> GIANT_CRAB: +1
12:11:31 <pjp> Let's plan for it, if there is interest in booth at RootConf
12:11:38 <GIANT_CRAB> At the end of the day, we're at times which things can be done across almost all OS (pretty much equally), difference is convenience and the people/community surrounding the software/OS
12:11:55 <Amita> makes sense
12:11:57 <siddharthvipul_> GIANT_CRAB, +1
12:12:02 <siddharthvipul_> true
12:12:11 <sumantrom[m]> Very very true
12:13:30 <Amita> GIANT_CRAB, do you have plans for FOSSASIA ?
12:14:25 <GIANT_CRAB> Amita: I'm at odds with FOSSASIA organizers and Red Hat stopped sponsoring the event (around 2 years ago) for some reason
12:15:39 <Amita> I see some of the Red Hat speakers are attending this year
12:15:44 <Amita> 14 in total
12:15:57 <Amita> so I am not sure
12:16:00 <pjp> Wow!
12:16:04 <GIANT_CRAB> Would be very inconvenient (socially) for me but if the APAC has a strong urge to be part of FOSSASIA; I'll be sure to assist
12:16:38 <Amita> I see Fedora outreachy intern also speaking there this year
12:17:10 <sumantrom[m]> And who might that be?
12:17:13 <GIANT_CRAB> Hmmm. Okay, maybe I should reach out to all of them and have a gathering together?
12:17:23 <pjp> 13 mins to go
12:17:33 <GIANT_CRAB> Just a lunch or dinner, or whatever is convenient?
12:17:40 <Amita> pjp, amy also help to have a short Fedora meetup there
12:17:48 <GIANT_CRAB> What do u think? pjp Amita
12:18:01 <Amita> amy -> may
12:18:18 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: Amita Yes, sounds good.
12:18:42 <Amita> me and pravins did it few years back
12:19:01 <Amita> we did it during lunch break, to speak about FUDCON
12:19:15 <Amita> and gathering was good at that time for Fdora
12:19:18 <Amita> Fedora*
12:19:26 <GIANT_CRAB> #action GIANT_CRAB contact list of Fedora and Red Hat folks speaking at FOSSASIA 2018
12:20:24 <GIANT_CRAB> Do you think I should ask Red Hat SG if they would "feed" this gathering/meetup?
12:20:43 * bexelbie is lurking
12:20:43 <GIANT_CRAB> Because IIRC, Fedora has a policy of "we do not feed you"
12:21:33 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: feed ?
12:21:45 <sumantrom[m]> Hi bexelbie :)
12:21:49 <GIANT_CRAB> Well, sponsor the gathering
12:22:18 <pjp> It need not be such formal one, the attending Fedora participants could just catch-up over lunch/dinner/snacks etc.
12:22:27 <Amita> right
12:22:50 <GIANT_CRAB> Of course, we can always have everyone to do a "you pay your part" but i dont think its that nice since these folks flew over to give a talk
12:24:30 <pjp> Yep
12:24:56 <GIANT_CRAB> Yep to which part? The former or latter? :p
12:25:39 <pjp> 5 mins to go
12:26:12 <GIANT_CRAB> ?
12:26:38 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: Yes, that we could pay for our meal
12:27:04 <GIANT_CRAB> Okay!
12:27:24 <linuxmodder-> !
12:27:50 <pjp> GIANT_CRAB: But we need to communicate in advance about such meeting and decide on place,
12:27:52 <linuxmodder-> pjp, May I make an announcement?
12:27:54 <pjp> and time
12:28:00 <pjp> linuxmodder-: Sure
12:28:04 <pjp> 2 mins to go
