17:03:59 <zodbot> riecatnor: riecatnor 'Marie Nordin' <mnordin@redhat.com>
17:04:14 <riecatnor[m]> ok, wow that was sooo delayed
17:04:36 <riecatnor[m]> shrug
17:04:54 <bcotton> we get there eventually :-)
17:04:58 <bcotton> #topic Today's agenda
17:05:05 <bcotton> #info Objective session at the release party
17:05:13 <bcotton> #info In-person events
17:05:17 <bcotton> #info Your topics here!
17:05:29 <bcotton> #topic Objective session at the release party
17:05:40 <bcotton> all you, riecatnor riecatnor
17:06:05 <riecatnor[m]> sure, mattdm_ and I were discussing topics for the upcoming release party and Objectives came up
17:06:31 <riecatnor[m]> We have been low on them for some time, not many new things in the pipeline.. the idea is to create awareness and visibility
17:07:23 <riecatnor[m]> I think it would be great to take this on as the Council- basically, I am asking for a couple volunteers to help make the presentation a success :)
17:08:01 <bcotton> what does success look like here?
17:09:26 <riecatnor[m]> great question- I think the final product is a 25 minute session with slides that covers the basics of objectives, examples of past objectives and hopefully empowers folks with ideas to submit them
17:10:12 <bcotton> i humbly submit that our current objective leads would be good candidates to help :-)
17:11:16 <riecatnor[m]> I support that :) but open to whomever might be interested
17:12:49 <bcotton> anyone want to volunteer right now?
17:14:07 <bcotton> well, the offer is there. and i think riecatnor should feel empowered to draft people if no one volunteers :-D
17:15:09 <bcotton> #topic In-person events
17:15:16 <bcotton> #link https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/379
17:15:20 <bcotton> oh hey, it's riecatnor time again!
17:15:28 <riecatnor[m]> :)
17:15:59 <riecatnor[m]> This came up because Mindshare received a request for swag for an in person event
17:16:18 <riecatnor[m]> I think we will start to see more requests, and I would like to have an established stance
17:17:00 <riecatnor[m]> I put questions on the ticket, we could hash them out now, or folks can leave thoughts there
17:17:09 <riecatnor[m]> What health safety standards are we holding events to?
17:17:09 <riecatnor[m]> The Mindshare process should be revised- what information will we require from folks requesting support?
17:17:09 <riecatnor[m]> Are other communities addressing/thinking about this?
17:17:09 <riecatnor[m]> What to do if we decide to support an event that later violates safety precautions?
17:17:57 <riecatnor[m]> I think these questions are a good place to start.
17:18:04 <bcotton> so i think we should split it into multiple questions: providing swag, sponsoring, and paying for people to travel/attend
17:18:20 <bcotton> (maybe the sponsorship one belongs with one of the other two)
17:19:10 <bcotton> i don't know if we want to have our own set of safety rules or just say "you solemnly swear you will follow the local requirements"
17:19:51 <riecatnor[m]> I think asking for a dated local mandate + the event guidelines
17:20:00 <riecatnor[m]> would be reasonable
17:21:08 <bcotton> is the idea checking that they followed them, or just knowing what they are to inform the decision process
17:21:58 <bcotton> e.g. if the local guidelines say "everyone must stand within 2 feet of another person at all times and sneeze on everything" then we will decide to decline funding?
17:22:01 <riecatnor[m]> the second, I think it would be very difficult for us to confirm that they were followed
17:22:32 <riecatnor[m]> if they said that, yes lol
17:22:38 <copperi[m]1> Trust on people ?
17:23:35 <riecatnor[m]> Another point to acknowledge is that we need to adhere to Red Hat's current policies on supporting community events
17:23:44 <bt0> right
17:24:19 <bcotton> are those available publicly? because that would be very helpful
17:24:36 <riecatnor[m]> good question, Ben- I am not sure, I will have to look into it
17:25:09 <bcotton> copperi: yeah, i think we should trust people. but if we find out that someone completely ignored the local policy, they should expect to have a hard time the next time they ask for money :-)
17:25:33 <copperi[m]1> Ben: yes
17:25:46 <riecatnor[m]> Its less about trusting or distrust and more about making sure Fedorans are safe
17:25:58 <riecatnor[m]> imo
17:27:43 <bcotton> anyone else have thoughts?
17:28:04 <bt0> not here
17:30:34 <bcotton> riecatnor, bt0  does mindshare need immediate input or do they have what they need for the pending request?
17:30:47 <riecatnor[m]> we have what we need for the immediate request
17:30:54 <bcotton> cool
17:31:28 <bcotton> i may write up a strawman proposal for us to discuss later, but if anyone else wants to beat me to it, please feel free :-)

17:42:01 <riecatnor[m]> that might be a mattdm- question and he is not here, so I can find out later :)
17:43:15 <t0xic0der> There are a couple of updates from the mentored projects side but I suspect that is more of a mindshare discussion.
17:43:58 * bcotton knows nothing (or at least very little)
17:44:11 <mattdm> More to do. Hold on a sec...
17:44:51 <copperi[m]1> It is going forward ...
