Tomorrow's EMEA meeting

[Nemanja Milosevic]

Dear all,

I won't be able to chair the tomorrow's meeting (11 Oct 2017). As of now, there are no requests to be discussed. If there is anything important to be discussed please hold the meeting without me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Also, because of the starting semester and some schedule changes, it will be difficult for me to chair the meetings on Wednesdays. It would be best to soon find a replacement chair. Of course, I will be available as a helping hand for the new chair to bring them up to speed.

Kind regards,
Nemanja

Hello all,

I haven't been able to attend the meetings because of the times change in
the meetings. If someone else is having issues, we could reconsider day and
hour perhaps?
Just a suggestion.

Regards,
Silvia

Hello Nemanja,

Sorry for my late reply.

As I don't see someone else volunteering to chair the meeting I can help
you with this. We have to discuss for the F27 RP and mindshare, very
important topics for the next meeting that will be next week
(08.11.2017). Also, we need to see the meeting time because I don't see
a lot of ambassadors attending the meeting.

See you next week.

Cheers,
Jona

Hello folks,

To me, the meeting times are really bad. However, I hope to be there next
week.

Cheers,
Silvia

Sylvia we will discuss about this next week, to see the possibility to
change the meeting time and/or the day. Hope to see you next week :)

Cheers,
Jona

Hey everyone,

I'm also sorry for the late reply. I'm really sad about the meeting situation. Maybe it's just my perception but EMEA community has become very stagnant. We don't have that many active members and if you check our pagure you will see the events are also sparse. I can't remember when was the last time I read an email with a new ambassador introduction. :(

I am also +1 for the next meeting and I can chair it. Jona if you want to try it out this is probably a good opportunity because I will be fully available to help.

Maybe it's a better idea to schedule the meetings when we need to discuss something rather than have them every two weeks. As I said, with my schedule it is getting difficult for me to chair the meetings but another reason for my hesitance is that it gets very tiresome to organize and chair meetings late in the evening for just myself and maybe 1-2 other people.

See you Wednesday.

Cheers,
Nemanja

This is something we should seriously think about. As far I can see each
outreach part of the Project is suffering the abandonment of the old
contributors and in the other hand we don't have enough people incoming.
Maybe only the magazine has a positive balance between new and old people.

I think this is not merely a question of the distribution itself, we have
to deeply investigate about the real interest survived to the apps
explosion and, for the Fedora contributors, the real stimuli for moving
forward in the Project.

IMO it's something we must measure before restarting with a greater
convinction.
