Dear *, As I promise you, you will find my presentation in pdf format for EMEA coordinators in order to explain them the importance to invest in the FOSDEM and request them budget at the following URL : https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/9/96/Fedora%26JBoss%40FOSDEM%2710_Proje… As it is the first time, we are doing it. I do not know if it responds fully to you, the coordinators or Fedora community requests. If something is missing or if something is wrong, feel free to tell me it. I will also send it to the Fedora@FOSDEM'10 and JBoss@FOSDEM'10 Project team member Anyway, you will find updated status at the following wiki page : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSDEM_2010_Organization In addition, following my lack of time or lack of network/wifi, it is not always possible for me to be present at IRC meeting. Nonetheless, I will do my possible to be there for the next one - Do not know the date yet -. Sorry for that. Now, it up to you ! Anyway feel free to contact me for any comments, collaborations, helps. Thanks for reading, your help, efforts and time. Kind Regards Frederic -- ----------------------------------------------------- Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list Fedora-ambassadors-list(a)redhat.com Olpc mailing list olpc-open(a)laptop.org

I'm ready to go! 01:08:17 <StabbyMc> I don't know of any other upcoming events, anyone else got anything that's maybe not on the events page? 01:08:39 <PhrkOnLsh> if anyone knows anyone who is interested, however, could they please point them to the schedule at http://ableconf.com/node/44 01:09:10 <StabbyMc> #topic NA Budget Review 01:09:30 <StabbyMc> So I'm guessing not a whole lot has changed for budget. 01:09:42 <StabbyMc> One of the items brought up in the last meeting was window clings 01:10:03 <StabbyMc> I'm waiting on some samples, but have some basic pricing, and it looks good as long as the product looks good. 01:10:38 <VileGent> so do we need to file a ticket with the design team?? 01:11:01 <StabbyMc> I can do that, I should have samples of clings in another week or so. 01:11:03 <inode0> not for a logo 01:12:06 <StabbyMc> So I'm thinking next meeting I'll have firm pricing and some ideas on what they should look like, which we can discuss. 01:12:50 <StabbyMc> So far we've talked about using the Virtical Finity + fedora tag. 01:13:12 <StabbyMc> Who else has bugetary items? 01:13:27 <StabbyMc> budgetary even 01:13:34 <sseiersen> Evil Robot Conference? 01:13:50 * sseiersen does not get that one 01:14:01 <StabbyMc> Why am I dubious that it's not a real conference? 01:14:21 <sseiersen> Hey, it's in the budget :P 01:14:28 <Grantbow__> lol 01:14:36 <PhrkOnLsh> http://evilrobotconference.wordpress.com/ <-- 01:15:17 <StabbyMc> Interesting! 01:15:22 <StabbyMc> But in the past ;-) 01:16:04 <StabbyMc> #topic NA Task list 01:16:26 <StabbyMc> I don't remember there being outstanding task items from last meeting 01:16:34 <StabbyMc> Anyone got new task items? 01:16:41 <inode0> just to start using the task list :) 01:17:08 <StabbyMc> inode0: heresy! 01:17:23 <StabbyMc> #topic NA Open Floor 01:17:32 <StabbyMc> That brings us to the last topic, open floor. 01:17:59 <inode0> don't ambassadors do anything? 15 minutes is unheard of! 01:18:15 <VileGent> inode0, nope nothing at all 01:18:28 <lcameron> go forth an download 12 beta! 01:18:32 <inode0> I have two items I'd like to mention 01:18:37 <crossbytes> u have 2 be kidding all over? 01:18:43 <StabbyMc> Fudcon? 01:19:19 <sseiersen> FUDBus? 01:19:23 <inode0> Tonight is the last meeting for now where I'll be the regular moderator 01:19:30 <inode0> And I only lasted 10 seconds! 01:19:51 <sseiersen> Quick replacement :) 01:19:51 <inode0> But I have a smile on my face about that and other things 01:19:51 * nb needs to email the professor that's the head of AITP at his college 01:20:01 * nb may be able to be the speaker at one of the meetings 01:20:33 <nb> I have some F11 media and can burn some F12 if it is released by then 01:20:35 <inode0> It has been a good year for me and I hope the next person finds it rewarding in when looking back on it 01:20:51 <StabbyMc> inode0: I throw lizard! 01:20:52 <VileGent> inode0, i for one would like to thank you for time and donation of your service 01:21:21 <StabbyMc> agreed inode0: excellent moderation :-) 01:21:36 <sseiersen> +10 01:21:38 <inode0> the second item I wanted to bring up is that I plan to propose at some point a NA Fedora Ambassadors Day 01:22:02 <inode0> probably for some time after winter leaves 01:22:08 <StabbyMc> which would include what? 01:22:24 <StabbyMc> BSD, er, Fedora booth babes? 01:22:26 <inode0> we should as a group begin thinking about what we would like to accomplish at such an event 01:22:52 <inode0> our last one gave us direction which we've been following for a year now 01:23:05 <StabbyMc> Is this an in person meeting? 01:23:13 <inode0> I think it is getting to be time to begin some new initiatives 01:23:28 <inode0> rather than stay on autopilot 01:23:42 <inode0> yes, this would be an in person event for ambassadors 01:23:56 <inode0> probably a couple of days 01:24:12 <sseiersen> preferably not in Toronto :) 01:24:30 <inode0> I have an idea for the location, but that isn't terribly important yet 01:24:47 <inode0> What we can accomplish is the important part 01:25:09 <inode0> So please start giving it some thought, we aren't going to decide anything tonight 01:25:20 <sseiersen> Will do 01:25:28 <inode0> Where do we want to see FAmNA in a year or two? 01:26:10 <StabbyMc> #info Let the minutes reflect that inode0 is in favor of a NA Ambassadors meeting to determine the direction of the ambassadors program for the next couple of years, so start thinking 01:26:49 <makfinsky> Dang it... makfinsky here late... 01:26:50 <crossbytes> where should we post .. to the list? 01:27:15 <inode0> yes, the mailing list would be a good place to discuss this 01:27:40 <inode0> I'll send a message there to get the discussion rolling 01:27:52 <StabbyMc> maybe we put it on the task list or agenda for meetings going forward? 01:28:00 <inode0> We'll see how many me-too's we can generate :) 01:28:37 <inode0> StabbyMc: you don't need permission :) 01:28:54 <StabbyMc> Ah, by we, I meant you ;-) 01:29:10 <StabbyMc> But I can do it too. 01:29:17 <StabbyMc> Any other open floor items? 01:30:31 <StabbyMc> 5 01:30:43 <StabbyMc> 4 01:30:47 <StabbyMc> 3 01:30:52 <StabbyMc> 2 01:30:56 <makfinsky> None here. 01:30:58 <StabbyMc> 1 01:31:02 <StabbyMc> #endmeeting
