20:02:53 <riecatnor[m]> Hey smeragoel :D
20:02:58 <pbokoc> riecatnor[m], I'm good, how about you?
20:03:33 <riecatnor[m]> ohhh, hanging in there. I did some travel for work and caught the big C 😫
20:03:39 <davdunc[m> :) good thanks riecatnor glad to hear you.
20:03:40 <riecatnor[m]> (covid lol)
20:04:03 <smeragoel[m]> how are you feeling now riecatnor?
20:04:07 <riecatnor[m]> I am through the worst of it, but def still recovering
20:04:26 <riecatnor[m]> how are you doing smeragoel ?
20:04:58 <smeragoel[m]> Doing good! :D
20:05:04 <riecatnor[m]> There is some news to share about the Mentored Projects rep to Mindshare
20:05:31 <riecatnor[m]> Vipul has moved to a new job and with that has decided that it is time for him to step down from Mindshare (for now, hopefully ;))
20:05:43 <davdunc[m> oh wow!
20:06:10 <riecatnor[m]> The mentored projects group has worked as a team to bring on someone new- so everyone- please welcome smeragoel !!
20:06:40 <pbokoc> Welcome smeragoel[m] :)
20:06:45 <davdunc[m> welcome smeragoel
20:07:07 <smeragoel[m]> Thanks for the warm welcome everyone 🥰
20:07:30 <riecatnor[m]> Vipul Siddharth: not sure if you're around today, but I want to give a HUGE thanks for all the work you have done for Mindshare and Mentored Projects
20:07:34 <riecatnor[m]> and I hope that you will return at some point as a rep or elected :)
20:07:35 <davdunc[m> huge thanks and congrats on your new role.
20:08:59 <riecatnor[m]> I am also very excited and pleased that Smera has taken on the rep position! For many reasons
20:09:20 <riecatnor[m]> We have more women represented than ever on Mindshare (4/9)
20:09:42 <riecatnor[m]> I think when I started it was just me, so this is really cool!
20:10:08 <smeragoel[m]> That's lovely!
20:10:45 <riecatnor[m]> smeragoel do you wanna give a brief intro on your background with Fedora, what you do for $dayjob, and maybe some small fact about yourself :P)
20:10:50 <riecatnor[m]> s/P//
20:11:16 <smeragoel[m]> Sure
20:12:33 <smeragoel[m]> So, hi I'm Smera (she/her). I started out as an Outreachy intern with Fedora in 2020, mentored by riecatnor 🥰 I worked on Fedora design, and since then I have contributed to Fedora as a designer.
20:12:47 <smeragoel[m]> This year, I was an Outreachy co-mentor with Marie :D
20:13:27 <smeragoel[m]> I currently live in New Delhi, India and work as a Product Designer for a (semi) open-source company in Berlin!
20:14:01 <smeragoel[m]> That's me, nice to meet everyone 😊
20:14:40 <pbokoc> Cool!
20:15:29 <riecatnor[m]> welcome, again! very glad to have you here :)
20:16:09 <riecatnor[m]> hopefully Vipul will stop by next week to bid his farewell, though I hope he won't be too far ;)

20:19:01 <riecatnor[m]> I *think* that's all I have for today's announcements & info- does anyone have things to add?
20:19:19 <smeragoel[m]> I wanted to add something
20:19:39 <riecatnor[m]> go for it
20:20:21 <smeragoel[m]> So I'm working on Fedora participating in Hacktoberfest next month. Here's the ticket for it: https://pagure.io/mentored-projects/issue/132
20:21:52 <smeragoel[m]> Right now, we are looking for subprojects and maintainers interested in participating. Maintainers would add Hacktoberfest tags to repo and then review PRs.
20:22:25 <riecatnor[m]> #info Mentored Projects is looking for subprojects and maintainers interested in participating in Hacktoberfest. Maintainers would add Hacktoberfest tags to repo and then review PRs.
20:22:28 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://pagure.io/mentored-projects/issue/132
20:23:04 <smeragoel[m]> So if anyone would like to volunteer as a maintainer, please let me know 😊
20:23:27 <riecatnor[m]> smeragoel: is it strictly coding tasks?
20:24:00 <smeragoel[m]> That's the best part. Hacktoberfest is inviting both coding and non/low coding issues
20:24:30 <riecatnor[m]> ooooo
20:24:53 <riecatnor[m]> ok, should we add a hacktoberfest tag to the badges repo
20:24:56 <riecatnor[m]> ??
20:24:58 <smeragoel[m]> Yep yep definitely
20:25:46 <smeragoel[m]> I was thinking of acting as a maintainer for the badges repo
20:26:16 <riecatnor[m]> I'm wondering if we should let the marketing team know we are participating
20:26:26 <riecatnor[m]> maybe they can do a post
20:27:03 <riecatnor[m]> If we do participate, we should also put that up on discussion, and maybe the commblog?
20:27:12 <riecatnor[m]> is it a definite that we are participating?
20:27:39 <smeragoel[m]> Yep, Akashdeep volunteered to write a commblog
20:28:54 <smeragoel[m]> riecatnor[m]: Yes I think we should. Even if we don't have a lot of participating projects, it will set precedent for next year. I'm also working on documenting this on the mentored project docs so this year can sort of act as a "set-up" for the future
20:29:19 <riecatnor[m]> nice :)
20:29:37 <riecatnor[m]> its coming up fast so maybe you and I should sync about some of the details outside the meeting?
20:29:53 <riecatnor[m]> I can help provide some support if needed
20:29:57 <smeragoel[m]> sounds good!
20:30:53 <riecatnor[m]> cool! if anyone else knows of good projects to participate (or your project!) please do check out the ticket Smera linked and comment
20:31:14 <riecatnor[m]> #topic today's agenda
20:31:18 <riecatnor[m]> there are some new tickets to review
20:31:28 <riecatnor[m]> other than that, we could discuss the upcoming release party
20:31:35 <riecatnor[m]> anyone else have topics to discuss?
20:32:16 <pbokoc_> Nope
20:32:40 <riecatnor[m]> ok lets get into these tickets
20:32:42 <riecatnor[m]> #topic tickets
20:32:48 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/362
20:33:21 <riecatnor[m]> we have had booths in the past for FOSDEM, but no one has stepped up to organize one for this year yet
20:33:31 <riecatnor[m]> it is also not definite that it will be in person
20:35:01 <riecatnor[m]> I think we can fund people to go if its in person and someone is willing to own the booth organizing- so I think we need to wait to make a decision about this request
20:35:12 <riecatnor[m]> I think Mariana has organized the booth in the past- I have a meeting with her next week and I can see what she's thinking
20:35:28 <pbokoc> I don't think we can do anything if even FOSDEM themselves know if there will even be an in-person event
20:35:55 <riecatnor[m]> right
20:36:14 <pbokoc> Their site says they're aiming for a physical conference, but that's the most up to date info on their site
20:36:39 <riecatnor[m]> I think that went up about a week ago- I think we can wait for their next announcement and then re-address this ticket
20:36:40 <riecatnor[m]> I will comment
20:36:58 <pbokoc> Yeah, last Wednesday.
20:37:41 <riecatnor[m]> commented!
20:37:43 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/363
20:39:15 <riecatnor[m]> we have 4 +1's
20:39:16 <pbokoc> Oh yeah, why not. I added my +1 too.
20:40:14 <riecatnor[m]> any other thoughts re: 363?
20:41:11 <riecatnor[m]> if not, I will jump on and give the final approval- and I will reach out to siosm about the financials
20:42:17 <riecatnor[m]> ok, cool- onto the next!
20:42:18 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/364
20:43:17 <davdunc[m> oh.. I  am split brain.  + was +1 on akademy too.
20:43:25 <riecatnor[m]> I am wondering how siosm will be in two places at once 🤣
20:43:36 <mizmo> +1 on this if teleportation isnt required
20:43:57 <pbokoc> Huh, yeah
20:44:01 <riecatnor[m]> my guess is he is going to Akademy and then straight to the Linux Summit
20:44:35 <riecatnor[m]> mizmo: if only teleportation existed 😩
20:45:37 <riecatnor[m]> I will comment and ask on ticket 264
20:45:39 <riecatnor[m]> oops 364
20:46:31 <davdunc[m> +1 too, sans the teleportation. :)
20:46:58 <riecatnor[m]> ok, lets see what he says, but I am +1 to a week of promoting Fedora across the EU
20:47:02 <riecatnor[m]> :)
20:47:10 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/365
20:47:25 <riecatnor[m]> not sure what happened here, I followed up with the team working on this project
20:47:36 <riecatnor[m]> just curious if anyone else has heard of people being charged customs fees for the nest swag pack?
20:49:17 <riecatnor[m]> maybe it has to do with this persons location
20:49:31 <riecatnor[m]> either way, I am working on the reimbursement and trying to get to the bottom of why they are being charged
20:50:41 <riecatnor[m]> on a side note to the nest swag pack: https://twitter.com/rie_cat/status/1572650919287980032
20:51:16 <riecatnor[m]> I <3 Colúr
20:51:24 <smeragoel[m]> Ahh so cute!! Eagerly waiting for mine now 🥺
20:51:49 <davdunc[m> I got mine yesterday!
20:52:27 <riecatnor[m]> ok last one!
20:52:28 <riecatnor[m]> #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/366
20:53:10 <riecatnor[m]> so, I am in support of this request as I noted in my comment
20:53:24 <davdunc[m> yea. same.
20:53:50 <davdunc[m> I would like to know what the programs look like rather than just shipping out stuff.
20:54:03 <riecatnor[m]> I think I mentioned it in a previous meeting but we are being asked to move from 3 locations for fulfillment to one location that has 16 skus total. So we need to get rid of some of our current swag and define what items we feel are essential
20:54:33 <riecatnor[m]> I have managed to clear out the inventory in Brno at several of the EU based swag requests we have received
20:55:05 <riecatnor[m]> the only thing left in Brno is ambassador polos, which were ordered before my time and I have been searching the archives for the invoice. Without an invoice we can't ship outside the EU
20:55:21 <davdunc[m> well, then we could send it and ask for trip reports?
20:55:38 <riecatnor[m]> yes, I think thats a good idea. Also the LATAM community is very active
20:55:48 <riecatnor[m]> I sent some stuff to bt0 already to start this process
20:56:17 <riecatnor[m]> I want to try to get it in order before the new FCAIC comes so they don't have a big mess on their hands first thing 😅😅
20:57:21 <riecatnor[m]> davdunc: if you could comment with your thoughts that would be great
20:57:32 <riecatnor[m]> and for anyone else, please vote or leave comments as well :)
20:57:36 <davdunc[m> riecatnor: will do.
20:59:04 <riecatnor[m]> any other thoughts about 366?
21:00:16 <riecatnor[m]> if you do, please leave them on the ticket!
21:00:41 <riecatnor[m]> also, we are looking for some badge testimonials :) feel free to drop a note if you'd like https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/badges-testimonials-anyone/42629
21:00:59 <davdunc[m> I <3 my badges. :)
21:01:02 <riecatnor[m]> thanks everyone- hope you have a great rest of your day!! and welcome again to smeragoel !
