Agree. But first we need to designate regional ambassadors for Eastern and
Western APAC to facilitate the process for each region. Let's throw this to
the list so everybody can participate.

This can be done. I believe we have sufficient numbers with izhar, jason,
magie, engels and me for East to start organizing. I still envy your numbers
though :D

(08:04:40 PM) inode0: Anyone have any announcements?
(08:05:14 PM) workman161: not I
(08:05:22 PM) ajamison5579: nor I
(08:05:38 PM) ***inode0 announces he caused another fuss and leaves it at that
(08:06:01 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents
(08:06:25 PM) inode0: Anyone have any events that need attention tonight?
(08:06:51 PM) ***inode0 notes we likely will have some discussion of
the Montreal Linux Symposium later in tonight's program
(08:08:11 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget
(08:08:18 PM) inode0: herlo: ping
(08:09:35 PM) inode0: I will note that I added a $750 line item for
FAD F12 into the Q1 budget.
(08:09:54 PM) workman161: Would polos fit into T-Shirts?
(08:10:12 PM) quaid: there is no link for that, what is FAD F12? A
Boston FAD in June?
(08:10:22 PM) inode0: FAD F12 occurs early in Q2 so this money may be
used for unexpected expenses if needed.
(08:10:33 PM) inode0: quaid: yes, boston FAD in June
(08:11:04 PM) workman161: Are there dates in particular yet?
(08:11:22 PM) workman161: I'd need to see if my spring semester is done by then
(08:11:25 PM) inode0: Not yet, but it will be organized in the coming weeks
(08:11:31 PM) workman161: coolbeans
(08:11:39 PM) inode0: It has to be a bit after F11 is released
(08:12:13 PM) ajamison5579: makes sense
(08:12:33 PM) quaid: inode0: btw, how closed are we on Q1?
(08:12:48 PM) inode0: I don't understand that question?!
(08:12:57 PM) quaid: sorry
(08:13:01 PM) quaid: I don't see mysql con on there
(08:13:09 PM) quaid: but lcafiero and I were discussing being there
(08:13:16 PM) quaid: but maybe not "for" Fedora, per se
(08:13:25 PM) quaid: that is, not with a booth, just in polos and
wandering around
(08:13:26 PM) inode0: please add it and let us know if it needs funding soon
(08:13:30 PM) ***quaid makes no sense tonight
(08:13:34 PM) ajamison5579: what is SELF
(08:13:38 PM) quaid: ok, probably just amb kit
(08:13:42 PM) ***quaid eol
(08:13:42 PM) inode0: Southeast Linuxfest
(08:14:23 PM) inode0: our main plan for tonight was to hammer out a
few details about the budget, where is herlo?
(08:15:01 PM) ***inode0 thinks if we move on he will show up
(08:15:02 PM) ***herlo is not here teaching
(08:15:08 PM) ***djf_jeff enter silently ;)
(08:15:39 PM) inode0: did herlo not tell me earlier we were discussing
something about the budget tonight?
(08:15:51 PM) ***inode0 may be confused
(08:16:26 PM) ***ajamison5579 watches the dust balls roll by
(08:16:30 PM) inode0: ok
(08:16:42 PM) inode0: we are waiting to hear from a couple of people
(08:17:01 PM) inode0: herlo is about to order some cool banners/stands
for our event boxes
(08:17:05 PM) lcafiero: on the mysql conference, I don't think we were
going to have a booth -- red hat already has one (and I'll be working
in the dbEntrance booth)
(08:17:24 PM) inode0: DemonJester is looking into tattoos and case badges iirc
(08:17:43 PM) inode0: we have ample budget set aside for all those purchases now
(08:18:10 PM) quaid: lcafiero: ok, I only have a day to devote as it is
(08:18:19 PM) inode0: We have some money left for events, is LFNW
settled on $750?
(08:18:22 PM) lcafiero: quaid: same here
(08:18:27 PM) inode0: Or did we just make that up?
(08:18:35 PM) ajamison5579: cool i want to get a perminent Fedora logo
tattooed on my forhead
(08:18:58 PM) inode0: you have to pay for that by winning a bar bet ajamison5579
(08:19:21 PM) ajamison5579: lol i would loose i do not drink ;0
(08:19:54 PM) lcafiero: I think $750 was made up.
(08:20:05 PM) inode0: Is it plausible?
(08:20:52 PM) inode0: It seems a reasonable amount given what we have
been doing at regional events, but we might have some flexibility
right now.
(08:21:26 PM) ***ke4qqq is here but late
(08:21:45 PM) inode0: ke4qqq: do you have any event or budget items to discuss?
(08:21:55 PM) ke4qqq: sELF and FLS
(08:22:08 PM) inode0: please take the mic
(08:22:24 PM) ***lcafiero crunches some numbers for LFNW
(08:23:06 PM) ke4qqq: so essentially I'd like to fund/sponsor SELF,
but I have a conflict there - the wiki page for the budget has $1k,
however I would abstain from voting on that particular matter.
(08:23:10 PM) ***ajamison5579 stepping to the kitchen for coffee brb
(08:23:20 PM) ke4qqq: IIRC my total expenses for FLS were around $60.
(08:23:29 PM) ***ke4qqq waits for questions and flames
(08:23:44 PM) inode0: please just add the FLS stuff
(08:23:56 PM) ke4qqq: ok
(08:24:13 PM) inode0: My opinion on SELF is that we should support it
as much as we can this year but
(08:24:44 PM) inode0: since it doesn't actually happen until Q2 I'd
like to wait a bit before sending them the additional 1K
(08:25:08 PM) inode0: I don't see any problem doing it though this quarter
(08:25:17 PM) ke4qqq: additional?
(08:25:32 PM) inode0: It was my understanding we gave them $500 in Q4
(08:25:39 PM) ke4qqq: we did not
(08:25:57 PM) ke4qqq: we talked about doing so, but it never happened
(08:26:09 PM) inode0: either way it doesn't change anything I just
said, strike the word additional
(08:26:52 PM) ke4qqq: what does the event calendar look like for next quarter?
(08:27:19 PM) inode0: If they need the money this month I'd be ok with
that, if they don't I wait until later in the Q to send it so if we
have an emergency of some sort we can have flexibility.
(08:27:58 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents
(08:28:11 PM) ke4qqq: I thought you said wait til Q2. My onlyy concern
is that we have FAD, SELF, OS Bridge, NECC, MLS, and OSCON all on Q2
(08:28:31 PM) inode0: I would prefer to fund it this quarter if we
can, maybe we can add a bit more next quarter as well.
(08:28:40 PM) ***ajamison5579 is back with hot coffee
(08:28:42 PM) inode0: No, wait until later in Q1
(08:29:24 PM) ke4qqq: ok - as I said - I come as a petitioner on this
one not as someone who'd make the decision
(08:29:37 PM) ***inode0 gives +1 to using 1K from Q1 unless something
dire arises
(08:30:11 PM) ke4qqq: hsa Karlie and Kam asked for funding? are we
funding pizza fro NYLUG?? /me apologizes for missing things up tilnow
(08:30:21 PM) ajamison5579: when is the total alotment per quater decided?
(08:30:23 PM) lcafiero: Could we revisit LFNW before making that decision?
(08:30:27 PM) inode0: Is SELF in dire need in the next few weeks?
(08:30:42 PM) ke4qqq: no
(08:31:01 PM) ke4qqq: ajamison5579: theoretically the month before the
quarter starts
(08:31:22 PM) inode0: ke4qqq: my thinking is by May 1st nothing dire
has hit us we send SELF the 1K
(08:31:37 PM) ke4qqq: ok, works for me
(08:31:58 PM) inode0: if we need to pinch $500 of it then we make it
up at the beginning of Q2
(08:33:02 PM) lcafiero: I can live with that.
(08:33:05 PM) inode0: lcafiero: we can revisit LFNW right now if you are ready
(08:33:17 PM) ***ke4qqq would like to talk about sponsoring Barcamp
rochester and nylug before we close
(08:33:34 PM) lcafiero: I will yield to the senator from LIberty.
(08:33:46 PM) ke4qqq: go ahead lcafiero
(08:33:49 PM) inode0: we aren't closing, but iirc DemonJester talked
to everyone about those events and they needed no funds
(08:34:16 PM) inode0: just media and swag which had been or will be provided
(08:34:35 PM) lcafiero: We may need more than $750 for LFNW.
(08:34:37 PM) ke4qqq: ok
(08:34:57 PM) inode0: wait, I don't know anything about NYLUG
(08:35:01 PM) inode0: jds2001: ping
(08:35:18 PM) ke4qqq: I pinged him a moment ago in #f-a
(08:35:57 PM) inode0: we can certainly buy them pizza, I have no
objection as long as jds2001 talks incessantly about Fedora while they
eat it :)
(08:36:04 PM) ke4qqq: lol
(08:36:08 PM) lcafiero: There's an added event to LFNW, which is quaid
and I are scheduled to speak in Corvallis at Oregon State on the
Thursday prior to LFNW.
(08:36:52 PM) workman161: I've got a question about an event when we
get a chance
(08:36:54 PM) inode0: ok, what do you need?
(08:37:16 PM) inode0: workman161: I'll come back to you before we move on
(08:37:22 PM) workman161: k
(08:37:30 PM) lcafiero: Well, that's the thing: I haven't done the
entire calculation yet, as we were planning to drive up and pick up
people along the way.
(08:37:49 PM) ***ke4qqq isn't grokking - what's the added expense?
(08:37:55 PM) lcafiero: quaid: feel free to jump in here.
(08:38:52 PM) lcafiero: grok away, ke4qqq, and I wish I had an exact
answer for you. But we were talking about renting a minivan to make
the trip to pick up a couple of folks in Portland on the way up, and
the out-of-state rates would put the rental itself at around $4-500,
by my estimation
(08:39:19 PM) quaid: or a full van
(08:39:21 PM) ke4qqq: how many people are we talking about?? how many days?
(08:39:28 PM) quaid: if we get linuxknight and others in portland
(08:39:44 PM) quaid: ok, we need to get confirmation from linuxknight
and poelcat
(08:39:52 PM) lcafiero: right.
(08:39:55 PM) ke4qqq: quaid: any chance this could come out of
commarch travel budget?
(08:40:07 PM) lcafiero: However, there's an extra day's lodging in Corvallis.
(08:40:22 PM) lcafiero: The lodging in Bellingham is $89/night per room.
(08:40:41 PM) quaid: ke4qqq: that was my plan, to rent the van plus my
hotel room as my T&E
(08:40:42 PM) ke4qqq: so we need 1250? for LFNW? or 1500?
(08:41:01 PM) djf_jeff: lcafiero: excuse if I don't know the US, do
you talk about portland in Maine?
(08:41:08 PM) quaid: djf_jeff: Oregon
(08:41:11 PM) lcafiero: Portland in Oregon, djf_jeff
(08:41:32 PM) djf_jeff: ah, ok, a little bit far for me ;)
(08:41:32 PM) ***ke4qqq likes quaids plan :)
(08:41:34 PM) quaid: ke4qqq: hmm, ideally LFNW wouldn't be *more* than SCaLE ...
(08:41:41 PM) quaid: spevack: you awake?
(08:41:45 PM) quaid: anyway, I'll try to get that sorted
(08:41:54 PM) lcafiero: Ah, that was what I was hoping for -- some
clarity from quaid
(08:42:03 PM) quaid: I am talking afaik, giving the first run of
'Participate or Die'
(08:42:12 PM) ***inode0 votes for leaving it as $750 for now and not
micromanaging all these details
(08:42:20 PM) ke4qqq: If it gets a mass of contributors together I am
ok spending more money...
(08:42:27 PM) quaid: ok, sounds reasonable
(08:42:27 PM) ***lcafiero is envious of quaid's quality in that regard.
(08:42:30 PM) lcafiero: Okay,
(08:42:36 PM) ***ke4qqq thinks we have some breathing room - and can
even temp. sacrifice self if need be
(08:42:47 PM) ***quaid bbiab
(08:42:48 PM) lcafiero: I was unaware of the T&E and didn't figure that in.
(08:42:59 PM) ***lcafiero breathes a lot easier now.
(08:43:00 PM) inode0: generally I want to give an event a reasonable
amount but leave the details of how best to spend it to the event
owner
(08:43:28 PM) lcafiero: Right, and needless to say that if the event
doesn't spend all the money, what's left goes back.
(08:43:36 PM) ***lcafiero hopes that's how it works, no?
(08:43:43 PM) ke4qqq: generally
(08:43:48 PM) lcafiero: Gotcha
(08:43:59 PM) inode0: if you guys need a couple hundred more from us
for the extra stop to talk with folks in oregon that won't be a
problem
(08:44:06 PM) ajamison5579: nah Inode0 pockets unused event monies
(08:44:34 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: make sure that's a sep. event on
/Events and on the budget page if you don't mind
(08:44:34 PM) lcafiero: Well, I'll sort out the numbers with quaid.
(08:44:42 PM) workman161: bah, who pockets money these days
(08:44:43 PM) lcafiero: ke4qqq: okay
(08:44:49 PM) workman161: anyone normal spends it on hookers and blow
(08:45:24 PM) inode0: workman161: we log and post these minutes, just
so you know
(08:45:41 PM) workman161: sorry, forgot
(08:45:52 PM) lcafiero: so for the record, none of us spends money on
what workman161 mentioned. Not even workman161
(08:45:58 PM) workman161: true
(08:46:03 PM) ajamison5579: lol
(08:46:08 PM) ajamison5579: +1111111
(08:46:27 PM) inode0: alright, so let's move to workman161's event question
(08:46:36 PM) workman161: ok
(08:46:52 PM) workman161: Are there any plans for fedora to be at Ohio
LinuxFest?
(08:46:57 PM) inode0: yes
(08:47:11 PM) workman161: cool
(08:47:16 PM) workman161: I didn't see it on the events page
(08:47:17 PM) inode0: maybe
(08:47:31 PM) inode0: we are always there but I don't see it yet either
(08:47:42 PM) ke4qqq: no owner yet
(08:47:48 PM) ajamison5579: i am going to try a be there
(08:47:50 PM) ke4qqq: and hence it hasn't appeared
(08:47:50 PM) workman161: columbus is a stone's throw away from my university
(08:47:51 PM) inode0: is that october?
(08:47:56 PM) ke4qqq: yes
(08:47:57 PM) workman161: september
(08:48:11 PM) workman161: Columbus, Ohio, September 25-26, 2009
(08:48:54 PM) inode0: We have a FAD at it last year, great time for everyone
(08:49:11 PM) lcafiero: back when FAD was Fedora Ambassador Day
(08:49:14 PM) crossbytes: working on attending LFNW waiting for DR
release due to back injury
(08:49:47 PM) lcafiero: You're in washington, crossbytes?
(08:49:58 PM) inode0: OLF is a fairly big regional event, we should
try to find an owner with some experience for that one if we can
(08:50:04 PM) crossbytes: VAncouver right next to Portland
(08:50:18 PM) ke4qqq: several with lots of experience in and around colunbus
(08:50:20 PM) ke4qqq: columbus
(08:50:21 PM) lcafiero: And that's on the way (I know Vancouver WA)
(08:50:29 PM) workman161: I'd like to help out a bit with OLF if possible
(08:50:30 PM) crossbytes: Yea
(08:50:39 PM) lcafiero: +1 to crossbytes and workman161
(08:50:41 PM) workman161: iirc, my fall semester starts before then so
I'd be able to make it
(08:50:52 PM) inode0: workman161 and ajamison5579 are more than
welcome to help out and get some booth experience
(08:51:11 PM) ajamison5579: If i can make it sure
(08:51:31 PM) ajamison5579: not sure yet but it is about 2 hours from
here so i should have no problem
(08:51:39 PM) inode0: ok, veering off now to Montreal Linux Symposium
(08:51:45 PM) inode0: djf_jeff: the floor is yours
(08:52:07 PM) ke4qqq: ?
(08:52:17 PM) inode0: were we not finished there?
(08:52:25 PM) ***ke4qqq has a question for djf_jeff re mls
(08:52:32 PM) inode0: oh, good
(08:52:42 PM) djf_jeff: ke4qqq: go for it
(08:53:08 PM) ke4qqq: djf_jeff: is there some metric way of measuring
the number of people - NA isn't used to seeing Linux shows with 15k in
attendance - that's normally reserved for the rest of the world.
(08:53:46 PM) djf_jeff: ke4qqq: where did you see 15k?
(08:53:56 PM) ke4qqq: [[Events]]
(08:54:15 PM) djf_jeff: hum, it's not me that put that part there ;)
(08:54:38 PM) ***inode0 thinks that is wrong
(08:55:06 PM) ***djf_jeff too!
(08:55:28 PM) djf_jeff: at least, there will not be enough place for
1/100 that's for sure
(08:56:12 PM) ke4qqq: the reported 700 last year per greg k-h
(08:56:22 PM) djf_jeff: I try to find out who did that ;) anyway, the
estimate is ~700 peoples when it was in Ottawa
(08:57:30 PM) djf_jeff: I have read that the estimate for this year is
~500, a little bit less than 15k ;)
(08:57:50 PM) ajamison5579: just a smidge
(08:58:06 PM) ***ke4qqq feels a bit better now
(08:58:17 PM) ***djf_jeff also!
(08:58:25 PM) inode0: djf_jeff: did you have some other comments about MLS?
(08:58:41 PM) djf_jeff: so, I talk with Andrew and get some answers
but he did not reply to my last mail, I will ping him at the end of
the week
(08:59:17 PM) djf_jeff: I have ask him about booth, room, hardware and
the possibility of a bus from Boston
(08:59:49 PM) ke4qqq: who is Andrew and does he have a bus?
(09:00:03 PM) djf_jeff: Andrew is one of the organizer of the MLS
(09:00:14 PM) djf_jeff: Andrew Hutton
(09:00:23 PM) ajamison5579: I am an Andrew also ;)
(09:00:31 PM) ajamison5579: but not that one
(09:00:45 PM) ke4qqq: ahhh ok
(09:01:32 PM) inode0: any more event business for tonight?
(09:01:51 PM) djf_jeff: so, the ball roll for now and thing get in
shape well. Andrew is helpful and more than happy to see us there
(09:01:52 PM) inode0: thanks to everyone for the updates on events
(09:01:58 PM) lcafiero: One more thing
(09:02:06 PM) ajamison5579: why thanks djf
(09:02:11 PM) ajamison5579: oh wrong Andrew
(09:02:14 PM) ajamison5579: ;)
(09:02:30 PM) dthomasdigital: Hi from New Mexico new here
(09:02:36 PM) lcafiero: dthomasdigital is david thomas, a new
ambassador, I wanted to introduce him because he is organizing a linux
event in New Mexico in November.
(09:02:57 PM) ajamison5579: Dave thomas? the actor, Wendys owner or

(09:16:19 PM) inode0: not away, ahead your item :)
(09:16:20 PM) ke4qqq: so the beta release call is tomorrow - is there
anything of concern from an Ambassador standpoint that I need to carry
forward?
(09:16:35 PM) ajamison5579: oh good point
(09:16:45 PM) ajamison5579: question rather
(09:17:11 PM) crossbytes: beta release call?
(09:17:51 PM) ke4qqq: so each subproject within fedora has someone get
on a conference call about coordinating [alpha,beta,preview,final]
release
(09:17:57 PM) ajamison5579: f11 alpha
(09:18:07 PM) ke4qqq: this is re the f11 beta
(09:18:08 PM) ajamison5579: goes beta
(09:18:11 PM) crossbytes: I am running f11 rawhide now but cant get a
clean install proiblems with anaconda still..
(09:18:30 PM) inode0: while people think about that is there anything
interesting happening with FAmSCo?
(09:18:36 PM) ke4qqq: crossbytes: please file a bug - and talk to QA.
(09:18:42 PM) ke4qqq: yes I have something to report on that end as well
(09:18:56 PM) ke4qqq: hearing nothing for the beta call then?
(09:19:09 PM) ke4qqq: if you think of something shoot me an email.
(09:19:11 PM) workman161: I'm not really sure what there would be, so no
(09:19:24 PM) ajamison5579: better yet post it to the mailing list
(09:19:34 PM) ke4qqq: +1
(09:19:36 PM) ajamison5579: i would be interested to find out as well
(09:20:00 PM) crossbytes: still after setup an account in bugzilla
(09:20:20 PM) crossbytes: still have to sorry
(09:20:53 PM) ke4qqq: ok - so now for famsco updates
(09:20:55 PM) inode0: other FAmSCo news then?
(09:21:48 PM) ke4qqq: FAmSCo likes our Regions page - and is
essentially going to have each region (APAC, EMEA, LATAM) complete a
regions page and task them with keeping it updated and then
transcluding that data in place of the CountryList.
(09:22:24 PM) inode0: so perhaps Canada should get a map up on ours
(09:22:48 PM) ke4qqq: and thus divest the responsibility to those in
the region of keeping up with those who are
$firstwordthatmustnotbeuttered.
(09:23:02 PM) ke4qqq: might not be a bad idea.
(09:23:42 PM) inode0: do we need a big policy or can we just let
people add themselves and deal with non-responsive ambassadors as they
come to our attention?
(09:24:02 PM) inode0: deal == remove from that page
(09:24:06 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: it's up to us (as NA) to manage how we see fit
(09:24:53 PM) workman161:
(09:24:54 PM) workman161: Image:Artwork famsco bannerN1.png
(09:24:54 PM) workman161: There are no pages that link to this file.
(09:24:56 PM) workman161: erp
(09:25:03 PM) workman161: sorry, middle clicked on my thinkpad
(09:25:13 PM) inode0: I'll add I attended the APAC meeting this month
where we discussed a lot of stuff related to the FAmNA rebirth and
what they might do to get better organized
(09:25:37 PM) ke4qqq: really - hopefully it was of benefit to them.
(09:25:44 PM) ke4qqq: they are even more spread out than we are
(09:25:53 PM) inode0: I think the visit was enjoyed by both sides
(09:27:06 PM) inode0: anything else FAmSCo?
(09:27:33 PM) inode0: someone changed the FAmSCo mission statement :)
(09:28:09 PM) inode0: are we done?
(09:28:36 PM) workman161: I've got nothing else to add
(09:28:48 PM) inode0: everyone feel free to carry on in
fedora-ambassadors when this meeting closes
(09:28:50 PM) inode0: 5
(09:28:54 PM) inode0: 4
(09:28:58 PM) inode0: 3

by Ankur Sinha
hi,
I'm running a Fedora System. In order to test alphas etc, I install them
to a trial partition on my Segate external harddrive. I add them to my
existing grub and boot into them. The external harddrive thus has a
partition "/". When i mount this partition on my normal system, run
gnome-system-monitor , and go to the disk usage tab, the system monitor
crashes..
If i unmount this partition, system monitor works fine.
this is the output i get from the terminal when it crashes :
[Ankur@Ankur ~]$ gnome-system-monitor
(gnome-system-monitor:5342): GLib-GObject-WARNING **:
IA__g_object_get_valist: property `name' of object class `GThemedIcon'
is not readable
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
I think its a bug, can someone please try this out (make a partition
as / , mount it and run gnome-system-monitor > disk usage) and confirm.
where do i report this ? at bugzilla.redhat.com or is there a separate
one for gnome ?
regards,
Ankur

25th March, 2009 - Document Freedom Day 2009 in Italy
by Gianluca Varisco
Hi guys,
Document Freedom Day (DFD) is a global day for document liberation. It
will be a day of grassroots effort to educate the public about the
importance of Free Document Formats and Open Standards in general.
Once a year, it is globally celebrated.
Next week Italian Fedora ambassadors will join local communities in
Opera (Italy) to celebrate the Document Freedom Day and spread the core
values of the Fedora community. The agenda and further details are
available here:
http://www.documentfreedom.org/Free_Software_User_Group_Italia
Slides, photos and reports will be published once the event is finished.
Have a nice DFD! ;-)
Cheers,
Gianluca
