09:37:39 <siddhesh> ok, so we have a fair number of people today
09:37:48 <siddhesh> #topic tickets
09:38:06 <siddhesh> before we start on the pending tickets, I wanted to bring up a ticket we have already approved
09:38:13 <siddhesh> somvannda's
09:38:34 <siddhesh> we had approved $550 since the BOM->PNH fares were around that level then
09:38:44 <siddhesh> they have since jumped to about $700-750
09:39:24 <pravins> ohh
09:39:33 <paragan> ah
09:39:38 <siddhesh> so the question is, do we approve this new fare?
09:39:54 <siddhesh> he cannot afford to buy the ticket himself, so a partial subsidy seems out of question
09:40:02 <pjp> Couldn't he do with 550, that is approved?
09:40:22 <kushal> siddhesh, I am okay with new fare.
09:40:59 <siddhesh> pjp: no, like I said, he cannot afford to buy his ticket at all, so I think partial is out of question
09:41:01 <pjp> IMO, we should see our budget
09:41:09 <siddhesh> we have $2600 spare
09:41:24 <siddhesh> and we need to let him know by tomorrow so that izhar can book for him
09:41:33 <pjp> I see,
09:42:21 <pravins> i think we should approve, its somehow delay from ourside as well for booking ticket.
09:42:22 * pjp checking pending requsts
09:42:23 <paragan> I think we can give him additional budget as I see we have some budget
09:42:46 <siddhesh> pravins: no, delay is from his end for raising a ticket too - I've been asking him to do that since march
09:42:55 <paragan> oh
09:43:36 <amit> pravins: well the ticket came late; why do you say we delayed?
09:44:06 <pravins> i thought, since we have to do booking for him. I remember some conversation earlier for booking Yogi ticket.
09:44:42 <siddhesh> prmia yogi's booking delay is our fault, yes
09:44:49 <siddhesh> but that is beside the point
09:45:29 <siddhesh> the question now is: what do we think about approving new fare for somvannda, say, at about $800, given that the current fare is around $780
09:46:13 <pjp> I think we should consider other tickets first, and if possible we'll provide extra budget to Somvannda
09:46:17 <paragan> Maybe let's revisit his ticket once we go through all the tickets today and decide
09:46:40 <pravins> its almost 50% more than earlier approved budget.
09:46:45 <pjp> There are about 15 tickets pending, of which most seem not qualified
09:47:00 <pjp> paragan: +1
09:47:02 <amit> quick look at pending tickets shows we aren't really constrained for budget
09:47:13 <pjp> amit: True,
09:47:14 <pravins> can someone provide link for tickets queue?
09:47:20 <amit> except ausil, of course.
09:47:30 <pjp> pravins: -> https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/query?status=!closed&component=FUDCon+Pune+2015
09:47:36 <pravins> thanks pjp :)
09:47:49 <pjp> amit: Yes, which is major chunk of our remaining budget
09:48:17 <siddhesh> pravins: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/report/3
09:48:18 * pjp suggests, let's get the unqualified out of our way first,
09:48:28 <amit> another option is to go by Ruth's advice
09:48:35 <amit> wait 3-5 weeks before travel for best rates
09:48:43 <amit> also, acc. to her, best rates are obtained on Wednesdays
09:48:51 <amit> so we could check the rates in a few days' time
09:48:56 <amit> (and keep this ticket on hold for now)
09:49:00 <pjp> amit: that might delay visa process,
09:49:03 <siddhesh> fine by me
09:49:07 <amit> visa is 2 weeks
09:49:11 <pravins> pjp: agree, it will make think bit easy.
09:49:41 <siddhesh> ok lets look at other tickets
09:49:41 <paragan> yes go through other tickets first
09:49:41 <pjp> amit: no, we have to provide invitation letters to them, which will need some time
09:49:46 <amit> let's look at other things then.
09:50:24 <pjp> Yes
09:50:39 * siddhesh looks at the next ticket in queue

09:51:14 <siddhesh> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/553
09:51:19 <pravins> for Jens petersen we have not decided travel. we have to discuss his ticket as well today.

09:51:51 <zodbot> paragan: Approved Groups: +designteam gitbadges cla_fpca cla_done
09:51:53 <siddhesh> pravins: yes, lets tkae it up after this one
09:52:02 <pravins> siddhesh: sure.
09:52:13 <siddhesh> active contributor and had a badges workshop submission too
09:52:19 <amit> #info Marie Nordin
09:52:29 <pravins> its $1,684
09:52:41 <siddhesh> we declined because alick proposed a badges talk and the subsidy amoutn requested is massive
09:52:46 <amit> we already have alick (from apac) coming to talk about badges
09:52:57 <amit> and several others from design team from asia and eu
09:53:04 <amit> and it's a lot of strain on our budget.
09:53:08 <amit> -1 from me
09:53:11 <pravins> lets vote
09:53:36 <pravins> -1 due to limited budget remaining
09:53:42 <siddhesh> I would +1 for accommodation if she wants to look at other options for travel subsidy
09:53:48 <kushal> siddhesh, +1
09:53:51 <siddhesh> but definitely -1 for travel
09:53:59 <paragan> so let's decline this request -1
09:54:28 <pjp> -1 for travel,  as the request is large, our budget constraints and duplication of talks,
09:55:15 <amit> agree - we do have budget for accomodation
09:55:58 <pravins> +1 for accomodation from me as well.
09:56:09 <siddhesh> #agreed declined for travel, but can provide accommodation for the duration of the conference

09:57:07 <siddhesh> revisiting this because Jens asked for a travel subsidy as well
09:57:22 <siddhesh> the request is $700
09:57:25 <pravins> it comes around $600 from Osaka to Mumbai
09:57:35 <pravins> only Airfare &600
09:57:55 <pjp> He is okay with partial subsidy too
09:58:21 <kushal> I am +1 for Jens.
09:58:46 <pjp> Maybe we could go with  400 - 500 or so, his request came late right?
09:59:22 <pjp> Or was that Jiri Eischmann ?
09:59:40 <pjp> No, Jiri is travelling by himself
09:59:47 <pravins> pjp: no, its Jens only.
09:59:52 <pjp> Right
10:01:18 <amit> pjp: yea, 1 day late
10:01:21 <siddhesh> lets look at the rest of the tickets - most of them are from dell folks and the rest don't amount to much
10:01:38 <pjp> Yep,
10:01:46 <siddhesh> so we could probably afford the $600
10:01:52 <paragan> okay
10:02:13 <pravins> yes, even he says "cover at least part of the airfare that would be very helpful indeed."
10:02:27 <pjp> Yes
10:02:34 <pravins> he is tremendous contributor to Fedora.
10:03:04 <pjp> True
10:03:19 <pravins> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/petersen/
10:03:45 <amit> vote?
10:03:51 <siddhesh> ok, +1 from me for a full subsidy
10:03:52 <kushal> amit, +1000000000000
10:03:55 <siddhesh> he is an apac contributor
10:04:10 <kushal> +1 from me for full subsidy
10:04:40 <pjp> +1 for partial subsidy, because he is okay with partial subsidy and his request came late
10:05:28 <amit> pjp: how much for partial?
10:05:35 <siddhesh> ok, then to decide partial we need to run through the rest of the tickets and decide based on what is left
10:05:42 <kushal> 699 :)
10:05:48 <pravins> +1 for $600 airfare subsidy.
10:06:26 <pjp> amit: considering ticket is about $600, ~$400 seems reasonable
10:06:44 <siddhesh> ok, +1 for $400
10:06:48 <amit> pjp: agreed.  also from RH, so he should try that too.
10:06:52 <amit> +1 for $400
10:06:54 <pravins> amit: yes
10:07:08 <siddhesh> we can assure him of $400 and then allocate more if we have some remaining
10:07:10 <paragan> +1 for whichever amount we want to approve
10:07:42 <siddhesh> #agreed approved for $400.  May approve more if there is budget
10:07:44 <pravins> +1 $400 seems reasonable and as amit suggested he can ask some from RH.
10:07:51 <siddhesh> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/557
10:07:55 <siddhesh> #info Arpitra Roy
10:08:05 <siddhesh> student from WB
10:08:11 <kushal> I have asked her to submit this request.
10:08:14 <amit> student, no contributions yet

10:08:21 <zodbot> siddhesh: Approved Groups: cla_done cla_fpca
10:08:30 <amit> has a talk proposal (which isn't in the main track)
10:08:47 <siddhesh> i.e. declined, but she can always propose it in the barcamp
10:09:06 <kushal> There are not many students who are looking promising, she is a very much newbie  (only few months with linux), first year student.
10:09:09 <amit> we have asked other students to come on their own, but provide accomodation to them.
10:09:17 <siddhesh> I am inclined to decline the travel request, but will reserve my opinion on accommodation based on kushal's feedback
10:09:37 <amit> +1 for accomodation, -1 for travel
10:09:55 <kushal> amit, I don't know not many students actually working on fedora :)
10:09:58 <pravins> siddhesh: yes, it will motivate them to fly with there own budget.
10:10:12 <kushal> pravins, Students mostly can not.
10:10:19 * Amita joining late
10:10:58 <pravins> i think her talk is also not selected.
10:11:10 <siddhesh> pravins, right, it is not
10:11:13 <kushal> pravins, yes
10:11:21 <pjp> I think accommodation at this stage seems reasonable, as she is a new contributor
10:11:40 <siddhesh> I will not describe her as a contributor
10:11:44 <amit> and there's an option of using the train travel
10:11:45 <Amita> pjp, which ticket we are on?
10:11:45 <kushal> siddhesh, +1
10:11:48 <siddhesh> at best, a user and an aspiring contributor
10:11:55 <pjp> Amita: -> https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/557
10:11:57 <kushal> siddhesh, +1
10:13:17 <siddhesh> lets look at travel first
10:13:21 <siddhesh> -1 form me for travel
10:13:36 <Amita> -1
10:13:45 <paragan> I too think to -1 for travel as no talk selected but if needed +1 for accommodation
10:14:09 <pravins> -1 for travel. We can support for accommodation
10:14:18 <siddhesh> for accommodation I think we should talk to MITCOE to see if they have space in their hostels
10:14:42 <siddhesh> I got requests from a number of students from other colleges too, so maybe all of them can stick together
10:14:46 <pjp> -1 for travel, as she is new and not much Fedora contribution
10:15:16 <kushal> pjp, not not much, none.
10:15:18 <kushal> :)
10:15:21 <pjp> :)
10:15:23 <pravins> siddhesh: yeah, we can get some students from Mumbai as well.
10:15:28 <pjp> kushal: I was being polite ;)
10:15:59 <kushal> pjp, :)

10:17:11 <zodbot> siddhesh: Approved Groups: cla_done cla_fpca
10:18:04 <siddhesh> request is for accommodation only
10:18:12 <pjp> He is asking for 50 USD, I think we can go with it
10:19:12 <Amita> yes
10:19:30 <Amita> and he is also helping in spreading the news
10:19:34 <Amita> seems active
10:19:44 <pjp> Not sure if 50 is reasonable for accommodation of 3-4 days though, maybe 100 is good.
10:19:48 <siddhesh> Amita: he has done one release party
10:20:00 <Amita> yes
10:20:02 <pjp> Yes, and planning for more
10:20:02 <kushal> Amita, how?
10:20:11 <Amita> kushal, what how?
10:20:19 <pravins> He is new in Fedora but yes active from last couple of month.
10:20:20 <kushal> Amita, helping in spreading the news.
10:20:35 <Amita> kushal, local news paper
10:20:35 <kushal> Amita, and why that is important?
10:20:48 <amit> he's active for fudcon, not for the fedora project
10:20:55 <amit> from my reading of the lists
10:20:56 <kushal> amit,  +1
10:21:02 <paragan> I am confused about this request. He is asking 50 USD for travel?
10:21:11 <amit> paragan: acco
10:21:16 <siddhesh> paragan: accommodation
10:21:16 <paragan> okay
10:21:20 <kushal> paragan, hotel
10:21:38 <kushal> Amita, why is it important?
10:21:40 <amit> paragan: well everything - he's asked for $50, which will cover everything.
10:21:48 <paragan> sure
10:21:48 <Amita> kushal, for marketing
10:22:41 <kushal> Amita, the person who is not part of Fedora marketing team, just putting up news on local papers may not be a good marketing for the project.
10:22:54 <siddhesh> stay at cocoon in twin sharing will cost about $150
10:23:05 <kushal> siddhesh, he must have some other hotel.
10:23:10 <amit> yea, he needs to work with marketing team to send out proper news items
10:23:26 <amit> yea - I am inclined to approve $50 and he manges his stay
10:23:40 <pravins> i saw he has also added his name for number of documentations AT https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_beats
10:23:41 <kushal> amit, +1
10:23:46 <pjp> kushal: True, maybe at FDUCon he'll find more ways to contribute,
10:23:53 <kushal> pjp, Yes.
10:23:58 <amit> pravins: doesn't mean he's contributed yet
10:24:03 <amit> though I think we should not debate that
10:24:07 <kushal> amit, yup
10:24:09 <Amita> yeah
10:24:12 <paragan> +1 for his accommodation request
10:24:13 <amit> vote?
10:24:18 <kushal> Just approve +1 for $50
10:24:19 <pravins> amit: yes.
10:24:19 <Amita> for  $50 .. +1
10:24:28 <amit> +1 for $50
10:24:40 <amit> we can suggest he stay close to MIT
10:24:44 <siddhesh> +1 for amit's suggestion of $50, where he manages his accommodation
10:24:52 <amit> if he stays close to cocoon, he can use the bus for ferrying around
10:24:53 <pravins> +1 $50 but if we have remaining slot in Cocoon we can ask to use that.
10:24:56 <siddhesh> also, this is obviously against a receipt, which goes without saying
10:25:16 <pjp> +1 for $50, because he is okay with it
10:25:19 <siddhesh> pravins: that will cost much more than $50 and I am not convinced enough to spend that
10:25:58 <siddhesh> #agreed approved $50 against receipts for accommodation

10:27:12 <zodbot> siddhesh: Approved Groups: None
10:27:25 <Amita> her talk is accepted ?
10:27:33 <siddhesh> not a fedora contributor, has a talk wait-listed
10:27:55 <Amita> 160 USD for hotel  0_0
10:28:03 <Amita> too much it is
10:29:10 <amit> "Linux-IO : Native scsi target implementation in linux kernel" talk - waitlisted
10:29:29 <pjp> Any chance her talk is selected?
10:29:30 <amit> works for vmware
10:30:26 <siddhesh> it depends on how many cancel
10:30:52 <Amita> She works in Pune
10:30:52 <pjp> Heh...:)
10:31:02 <Amita> then why she needs accommodation
10:31:15 <pravins> Amita: in that case stay not required.
10:31:21 <pravins> even Travel.
10:31:25 <Amita> yes
10:31:28 <siddhesh> Amita: two questions: how do you know it's a she and (2) how do you know (s)he is from pune?
10:31:36 <amit> 4 days ago she/he updated ticket asking for update on request
10:31:39 <Amita> siddhesh, https://in.linkedin.com/in/kashishbhatia
10:32:04 <pravins> its Mumbai.
10:32:09 <siddhesh> Amita: wrong profile.  (s)he is from vmware
10:32:22 <kushal> :)
10:33:02 <pravins> No Fedora Contributor + Talk not selected.
10:33:19 <amit> it's likely though that talk might get in the main track
10:33:43 <Amita> hmm
10:33:59 <amit> also, since we don't know the gender, we don't know how to budget for the room (ie sharing)
10:34:09 <Amita> :P
10:34:11 <kushal> This might be him
10:34:12 <kushal> http://www.meetup.com/Bangalore-Storage-and-Data-Management-Group/members/129800072/
10:34:21 <paragan> good to ask for more information in ticket
10:34:49 <amit> kushal: hm, that fellow's linkedin profile mentioned calsoft (ie person with same photo)
10:34:56 <amit> we should end this guessing game now, though :)
10:34:59 <Amita> :D :D :D
10:35:06 <pravins> :)
10:35:23 <siddhesh> anyway, we're going off-track.  the question is there a reason to accpt or decline this request
10:35:47 <siddhesh> +1 for accommodation since his/her talk will most likely make it to the main track
10:35:52 <amit> +1 for accomodation - potential speaker
10:36:28 <pjp> Since he or she is not a contributor and talk is not selected yet, I'm inclined to go with -1
10:36:38 <paragan> yes I too -1
10:36:41 <pjp> but accommodation is okay too,
10:36:42 <Amita> yes, -1
10:36:53 <pravins> +1 talk submitted and even if not get selected has potential in BarCamp
10:37:21 <kushal> pravins, there is a reason many talks were not selected.
10:38:08 <siddhesh> ok, so question for amita and paragan: -1 for travel and stay both or just for travel?
10:38:17 <paragan> If talk is not going to select why we want to +1 for accommodation?
10:38:22 <siddhesh> pravins: likewise, +1 for both travel and stay?
10:38:22 <kushal> siddhesh, -1 for both.
10:38:32 <paragan> so -1 for now for both
10:38:36 <siddhesh> kushal: thanks for answering before I ask ;)
10:38:39 <pravins> +1 stay.
10:38:40 <Amita> -1 for both
10:38:58 <amit> 3 +1s
10:39:14 <paragan> 4 -1s
10:39:16 <pjp> siddhesh: :)
10:39:20 <amit> pjp: is your +1 for stay?
10:40:08 <pjp> amit: Yes if the talk is selected, considering potential speaker
10:40:14 <amit> pjp: decide now
10:40:18 <amit> pjp: on current status
10:40:22 <Amita> :)
10:40:26 <siddhesh> so it's definitely -1 on travel
10:40:29 <siddhesh> lets communicate that
10:40:34 <pjp> amit: nope, current status -1
10:40:41 <pjp> <pjp> Since he or she is not a contributor and talk is not selected yet, I'm inclined to go with -1
10:40:45 <amit> pjp: for stay, right?
10:40:51 <pjp> amit: Yes, both
10:40:52 <siddhesh> we can consider stay at any point later
10:41:07 <siddhesh> ok, 4 against 3 -1 for stay as well
10:41:14 <siddhesh> so -1 for both

10:43:00 <Amita> talk is selected so +!
10:43:01 <Amita> +1
10:43:50 <pjp> He is not a contributor, and account seems to be created for the funding requests purposes
10:44:06 <amit> +1 for stay - he is a speaker
10:44:14 <siddhesh> pjp: yes, I'd go with +1 for stay since he is a speaker, but -1 for travel
10:44:34 <siddhesh> we're very close to providing funding for dennis gilmore ourselves, so I want to go for that
10:44:43 <Amita> cool
10:44:56 <Amita> siddhesh, +1
10:44:59 <pjp> siddhesh: same here,
10:45:16 <pjp> He does not need accommodation too it seems, he might return the same day
10:45:32 <pjp> But still, I think accommodation is okay
10:45:40 <pjp> +1 for accommodation, -1 for travel
10:46:02 <kushal> siddhesh, +1
10:46:22 <paragan> yes we can give stay as he is a speaker -1 for travel
10:46:40 <siddhesh> comment 4 says he does not need stay, so I guess that means -1
10:46:46 <siddhesh> despite the fact that he is a speaker
10:46:54 <amit> comment 4 says he doesn't want twin sharing
10:47:04 <amit> so -1 then
10:47:07 <siddhesh> we can of course consider a partial subsidy
10:47:34 <siddhesh> votes and opinions?
10:47:45 <amit> so our accomodation and travel budgets are different
10:47:54 <amit> and we have budget to cover hotel rooms..
10:47:59 <amit> obviously we can blur the boudnary
10:48:12 <amit> but we haven't looked at other tickets with that view.
10:48:13 <pjp> I don't think personal accommodation is reasonable, twin sharing one is okay
10:48:19 <Amita> so we should tell him that we have twin option only
10:48:30 <amit> Amita: and he has said he doesn't want that option
10:49:09 <Amita> -1
10:49:24 <amit> also he's from Dell, we haven't asked them to look at company-sponsorship yet
10:50:01 <paragan> I think most of we are -1 for travel
10:50:34 <amit> final vote?
10:50:36 <amit> -1
10:50:43 <siddhesh> -1
10:50:50 <Amita> -1
10:50:52 <paragan> -1
10:50:53 <kushal> -1
10:50:56 <pravins> -1

10:55:56 <paragan> talk selected?
10:56:52 <siddhesh> waitlisted I think
10:56:57 <amit> confirmed, waitlist
10:57:03 <amit> but there's a good chance it'll move up
10:57:11 <amit> he hasn't indicated if he's OK with twin sharing
10:57:15 <amit> I'll +1 his stay
10:57:33 <siddhesh> +1 for stay, -1 for travel
10:58:06 <siddhesh> he came to pune a few months ago to give a talk at the centos dojo
10:58:09 <siddhesh> on his own cost
10:58:20 <siddhesh> so he does seem to be driven
10:58:21 <pjp> +1 if talk is selected, otherwise -1 because FAS account seems to be created for funding requests, not a contributor and/or speaker
10:58:43 <paragan> +1 for what pjp said
10:58:56 <pravins> defer till we get final talk list?
10:58:57 <siddhesh> pjp: we can't wait for that - the talk selection may happen a day before
10:59:06 <kushal> siddhesh, :)
10:59:15 <siddhesh> pravins: the final talk list will be out on the final day :)
10:59:15 <kushal> siddhesh, +1 for stay
10:59:32 <siddhesh> expect cancellations and rescheduling right up to the day of the conference
10:59:35 <pjp> WEll, in that case let's revisit after all due ones are processed
11:00:00 <pjp> If we have funds left, we'll help these cases
11:00:06 <amit> pjp: only accomodation?
11:00:20 <siddhesh> pjp: accommodation doesn't need these funds
11:00:22 <amit> pjp: not sure how many more times we should defer and keep meeting for these meetings
11:00:28 <pjp> amit: twin sharing is okay,
11:00:32 <pravins> amit: agree.
11:00:36 <kushal> amit, say another 21 times?
11:00:47 <amit> kushal: half the sanity?
11:00:51 <pjp> amit: we've already processed these before,
11:00:54 <siddhesh> ok, I think we agree on accommodation
11:00:55 <pravins> +1 for stay.
11:01:14 <siddhesh> anybody disagree for accommodation?
11:01:15 <pjp> amit: maybe we could jump to the ones which more qualified requests and then come to these
11:02:03 <siddhesh> pjp: we have room for accommodation, so there's no point deferring based on budget constraints
11:02:26 <pjp> siddhesh: Ah okay,
11:02:27 <siddhesh> if there is disagreement on whether he should get funding at all based on other factors, then it makes sense to defer and discuss
11:02:53 <siddhesh> ok, so I'll ask again: anybody disagrees for accommodation?
11:03:14 <paragan> no let's give him stay
11:03:17 <pjp> siddhesh: This room for accommodation is same as Speaker's or there is other arrangement?
11:03:35 <pjp> IIUC, for speakers we've capacity of hardly 40 or so, no?
11:03:37 <siddhesh> pjp: same as for speakers
11:03:48 <amit> pjp: how many have we allocated so far?
11:03:49 <siddhesh> pjp: yes, and we have hardly 35 requests or so
11:04:27 <siddhesh> pjp: and he is a potential speaker
11:04:34 <pjp> amit: right close to 35 or 38 are allocated, but yes 40 rooms x 2 is 80 people I think
11:04:48 <siddhesh> pjp: 20x2 = 40
11:04:53 <siddhesh> we have 20 rooms
11:04:55 <pjp> siddhesh: Oh

11:37:51 <siddhesh> he has asked for travel
11:37:55 <Amita> Bangalore to Pune by my own car
11:38:49 <amit> he's mentioned $130 in comment
11:38:54 <amit> +1 for $130
11:38:58 <siddhesh> pjp gave an estimate of about $130
11:39:03 <siddhesh> which is fine
11:39:12 <siddhesh> the question is, how do we reimburse?
11:39:14 <pravins> amit: against bill receipt not more that $132 looks fine.
11:39:51 <paragan> maybe one or more bill receipts not more than $130 bills
11:40:12 <siddhesh> we need to ask what kinds of bills are accepted for these payments
11:40:20 <amit> my mistake - pjp mentioned $130, not rejy
11:40:21 <siddhesh> we need to ask ruth or someone else about this
11:40:34 <pravins> yes
11:40:46 <pravins> +1 approved for $130.

11:41:44 <pravins> mine +1 for Jiri Eischmann ticket as well.
11:41:44 <paragan> budget seems fine but is that one of the way we also use to provide reimbursements?

11:42:09 <pravins> thanks :)
11:42:40 <siddhesh> paragan: we need to figure out specifics with ruth
11:42:54 <paragan> okay
11:43:06 <amit> most petrol pumps have printed receipts - we can use those.  we'll have to mention in ticket that rejy needs to produce those receipts for reimbursement
11:43:41 <paragan> good to get printed receipts only

11:45:33 <amit> +1 for stay
11:45:38 <amit> pravins has given his +1
11:45:52 <paragan> +1 for stay
11:46:31 <amit> Amita: ?
11:46:48 <Amita> ahhaa Jiri
11:46:49 <Amita> +!
11:46:51 <Amita> +1
11:47:03 <amit> #agreed approve stay
11:47:11 <siddhesh> and we're done!
11:47:19 <amit> #topic open floor
11:47:19 <paragan> :)
11:47:38 <siddhesh> now there's $2,570 balance
11:47:46 <siddhesh> and we have multiple contenders for them
11:47:54 <siddhesh> dgilmore the primary one at $2000
11:48:03 <siddhesh> jens petersen at $600
11:48:16 <paragan> who else is remained to be considered for budget?
11:48:31 <siddhesh> and I think there are a couple of others who were given partial support
11:48:39 <amit> somvannda
11:48:50 <siddhesh> correction, $2440
11:49:03 <paragan> ok
11:49:58 <Amita> siddhesh, one update
11:50:14 <Amita> jrusnack may not come
11:50:20 <siddhesh> oh, why?
11:50:50 <Amita> unknown/different reasons
11:51:11 <Amita> It is better to confirm with him on ticket
11:51:23 <siddhesh> Amita: ok, please do then
11:51:25 <Amita> so that we will have clear state of money
11:51:43 <Amita> siddhesh, sure
11:53:04 <siddhesh> can we approve jens' request for $600?
11:53:31 <Amita> yeah, why not if we have budget
11:53:37 <siddhesh> +1 from me, since we have budget and he is an apac contributor
11:53:39 <amit> siddhesh: change topic?
11:53:43 <siddhesh> I'm sure pravins is +1
11:54:10 <paragan> +1
11:54:18 <siddhesh> #topic https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/602
11:54:27 <amit> so I recall pjp and me +1'ing $400
11:54:33 <amit> and pravins had agreed to that
11:54:49 <siddhesh> ok, then we can set the cap at 400 and then reimburse more if we have balance
11:55:29 <siddhesh> Amita, paragan is that OK?
11:55:35 <paragan> yes
11:55:38 <Amita> yupp
11:55:45 <amit> from the logs:
11:55:46 <amit> 10:06:48 <amit> pjp: agreed.  also from RH, so he should try that too.
11:55:46 <amit> 10:06:52 <amit> +1 for $400
11:55:47 <amit> 10:06:54 <pravins> amit: yes
11:56:10 <siddhesh> #agreed approve partial travel of $400, revisit if we have more funds
11:56:27 <siddhesh> and that leaves us with $2,040 surplus
11:57:37 <siddhesh> which almost exactly matches dennis gilmore's request!
11:57:41 <Amita> dennis gilmore
11:57:43 <Amita> +!
11:57:46 <Amita> +1

12:00:53 <amit> we will need another pass -- somvannda
12:01:15 <amit> plus there was another student - giriraj sharma, whom we could give acco only
12:01:18 <amit> like other cases
12:01:21 <siddhesh> amit: agreed.  we may need additional passes based on cancellations, etc.
12:01:25 <amit> #topic open floor
12:01:40 <amit> we have currently rejected giriraj
12:01:48 <amit> yea - so one more pass.
12:01:57 <amit> declined his ticket, I mean
12:02:07 <siddhesh> so I'll keep next week's meeting reminder intact
12:02:12 <amit> yep.
12:02:33 <paragan> sure
12:02:40 <siddhesh> I'll tell somvannda and izhar to hold on and also tell them about ruth's idea of checking on wednesdays
12:02:54 <amit> yea
12:03:11 <siddhesh> I'll also tell them to book if the cost is closer to $600
12:03:39 <amit> done!
12:03:57 <siddhesh> great, so I'll end this meeting, unless there are any other questions?
12:04:07 <siddhesh> going once.
12:04:12 <siddhesh> going twice..
