fabian_a	Now, please open our meeting page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Meetings/2008-10-15 for the agenda.
fabian_a	Report current status of FAmSCo
fabian_a	fugolini: ping
fabian_a	so, we skip this if spevack have no objections
spevack	normally i would jump in with an update from famsco myself
spevack	but i have been traveling the last week and a half (in Raleigh), so I missed the meeting and I'm a little bit behind.
spevack	but i know the F10 release parties are being finalized
spevack	and budget is also moving along
spevack	I do have one request for everyone
spevack	If you have had an event this quarter (since September 1) and not gotten me your requests for reimbursement yet, please do so this week. I want to try to get everything up to date with the budget.
spevack	thanks!

* spevack looks for his blog post
jenskuehnel	!! Sorry I'm late! (JensKuehnel)
spevack	http://spevack.livejournal.com/66777.html
spevack	It was a good event from the perspective of seeing several community members -- we had some good discussions, and pre-meeting for FAD topics (like LinuxTag)
spevack	I think everyone would have liked to see more traffic overall at OpenExpo
spevack	yesterday I spoke to 30 university students in The Hague University
spevack	and that went really well
spevack	i think we will get a few new contributors, I hope.
spevack	tomorrow I am going to Athens, and I will be there until Saturday. Athens Digital Week invited me to give a keynote speech, which is on Friday
spevack	I will see Dimitris Glezos as well.
spevack	and i will see the Parthenon :)
spevack	EOF
moixs	!
fabian_a	moixs,
moixs	Nothing really fancy, but I gave a Fedora presentation in my university of applied sciences (HEIG-VD, part of the HES-SO)
moixs	It was done instead of an Ubuntu one, and around 20 people got to install Fedora
moixs	Note: they are still using RedHat 9 in the IT labs

cwickert	we have "I-Party" this weekend here in Münster, a linux install party with different distributions.
spevack	!
Karl_le_Rouge	!
cwickert	I wonder if any of the german ambassadors can borrow me an XO, because last year we had huge interest in it
jenskuehnel	!
cwickert	not much more to say: I don't need a budget, I don't need posters, I have everything I need
fabian_a	spevack,
cwickert	eof
spevack	Just wanted to remind folks again how important it is to make sure your FAD EMEA details are all in on the wiki.
spevack	eof
fabian_a	Karl_le_Rouge, then jenskuehnel
Karl_le_Rouge	17-18th Oct, this is JDLL (Free Software Days) in Lyon (France), Fedora will be represented by 2 ambassadors (Benoît Marcellin and myself) and some local users folks

iranzo	we're planning to get an official mirror at university with RedIris networking
wonderer1	!
iranzo	they actually use it for internal deployment and after recent rains is not available, but plan to have it ready in order to coordinate it with a LUG presentation about F10 features)
iranzo	will post on list when everything is ready, both at lug and with mirroring
iranzo	eof
fabian_a	iranzo: thanks
fabian_a	wonderer1,
wonderer1	I have asked Famsco about Budget for the systems2008 in munic (spevack), so I get no last-response (I know it was late and expensive) can I assume, that there will be no budget for this year?
wonderer1	then I can move on with other projects and can better plan it for next year in detail...
wonderer1	maybe max has new infos.
wonderer1	eof
spevack	i'm afraid there's just no budget for it, i'm sorry henrik.
wonderer1	Ok, np. I only want to be shure.
wonderer1	maybe next year :)
wonderer1	eof
spevack	:)

jenskuehnel	EOF
wonderer1	!
fabian_a	wonderer1,
spevack	gregdek: do you want me to get you a fedora polo shirt?
wonderer1	I saw on the FAD EMEA page some things are not clear. Maybe red can later finish some things in detail, but maybe some folks can complete things. Just remind to look at the page.
wonderer1	eof
gregdek	spevack: I'm good, dude. The wife won't let me have any more Fedora shirts.
fabian_a	cassmodiah: about moving the meeting time for future meetings from UTC 20:00 to UTC 19:00
cassmodiah	!
fabian_a	cassmodiah: go ahead
cassmodiah	i'm working from 4:00 to 13:00 (UTC +2) i have to stand up at 3:00. Meeting Time 22:00 (UTC +2) is a little problem for me. it would be a little bit better for me if we can move it without problems to 21:00 (UTC +2)... If there is a problem i will learn to life with it :-)
* spevack will come to the meeting at any time
cwickert	!
cassmodiah	eof
fabian_a	the daylight saving will switch soon, but i personally think to go on with 22.00

cassmodiah	oh, sorry, i don't saw this. sorry...
cassmodiah	eof
wonderer1	!
fabian_a	wonderer1,
wonderer1	Only two small things: I saw at http://alejandroacosta.com/eventos these "plates" wich goes to all guys there. Maybe thats an idea for FAD Meetings (not for this year, but next year or so).
* moixs has an exam tomorrow, going to bed
wonderer1	If somebody think that could be a good idea, please tell me and I look who we can buidl such things and what this can/will cost, maybe as "Free as free beer" thingy.
