Motorola Lapdock Donation
by Mike DePaulo
Hi everyone,
I have a new spare Motorola Atrix Lapdock that I could donate. You can
hook it up to a raspberry pi with a few adapters/cables:
http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Raspberry-Pi-Lapdock-Connection/
"The lapdock incorporates a razor-sharp 11" HDMI display, an
almost-adequate keyboard-with-trackpad, twin speakers, and a
high-capacity battery -- all in a thin two-pound package."
(Note: "razor-sharp" == 1366x768.)
Are any regions interested in receiving it?

EMEA Trac migrated to Pagure
by Zacharias Mitzelos
Hello EMEA Ambassadors,
I completed the trac migration from fedorahosted to pagure. The
visibility has been set to private, since there is sensitive information
like home addresses, receipts, phone numbers, etc attached to the
tickets. There are a couple of active tickets in the trac, that I will
transfer to the new issue trackers soon. You can find the migrated trac
here[1]. Please do not open new tickets there, use the other issue
trackers to request funding or swag.
I have created another issue tracker for funding requests[2], that is
set to public for the time being. This will be our primary issue tracker
for funding requests or other expenses that will be reimbursed from the
EMEA Budget. In the next meeting we have to make a decision weather or
not we want to move forward with bex's idea to have 2 issue trackers for
funding requests (one public under the EMEA group, and one private were
receipts will be uploaded at, under the fedora-budget group). There is
also an issue tracker for swag requests[3] that is set to private
(because it contains private information like addresses and phone
numbers).
All of the repositories/issue trackers I mentioned can be found under
the EMEA Ambassadors group in pagure[4]. Members of this group can see
the private issue trackers, add comments to private tickets, change the
status of tickets, and many more. I added some EMEA Ambassadors to the
group. If you have not been added, you can ping me(off-list or in
Telegram) or someone else that is in the group to add you. Please don't
add people to the group that are not EMEA Ambassadors.
By default people that are in the EMEA Ambassadors group in pagure
receive email notifications for ticket creation, new comments, status
updates in tickets, etc. You can stop receiving notifications by
visiting the specific project and click the stop watching button. For
example, you might want to unsubscribe from the swag_requests tracker.
I'm still exploring the capabilities of pagure, so please correct me if
I did something wrong.
Many thanks to jflory7 and nmilosev for their help during the migration!
Cheers,
Zach

Re: Rootconf + DevConf India
by Zamir Sun
(Involve ambassador list.)
Hi PJP,
As we talked before, apac@lists is mainly used for easy subscription to
tickets on apac trac (now pagure) and not for discussion. So please keep
send emails to Ambassador list.
Thanks.

[FAmSCo] Ambassador's inactivity: policy change proposal
by Robert Mayr
Dear all,
we have just finished our regular ambassador's activity check and set
the ambassador's accounts which were not active for the last 18 months
to "inactive".
See our policy if you are not comfortable with this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService#Inactive_Amb...
However, the Infrastructure team raised some concerns about this rule,
as we are setting accounts globally as inactive/disabled, and they
asked the Council for a project wide decision to make that happen. The
Council will discuss if we will have this policy or not, but also
advised FAmSCo to handle this issue in the meanwhile by removing those
accounts from the FAS group, instead of setting them to inactive.
I have written down a proposal, where you will find more informations
about the process and about how we would like to reactivate people if
they like to come back. Please read it carefully and look also into
the discussions on Infra and Council pagure before making your own
opinion.
FAmSCo is going to follow the Council's advise, but for openness and
transparency we would like to get community feedback, as we did when
this rule has been put in place.
We also want to get this discussed during your next regional meeting,
so if we miss to reach out to your chairs and anyone of you is
attending the next meeting, please add it to your agenda.
Please use this discussion if you like to give us feedback.
Thank you.
Kind regards.

[FAmSCo] New mentor nomination and removal process
by Robert Mayr
Dear all,
One of the main missions of the current FAmSCo is to retool the
ambassadors processes. The mentor’s nomination process is one of the
topics we discussed during these first weeks. We already agreed
unanimously on a new process, but for openness and transparency, we
would like to get some feedback, if there are some points which need
to be improved or clarified.
Currently, the mentor nominating process says that only FAmSCo members
or other mentors can nominate a new mentor and that FAmSCo will vote
for approval. There is no rule for removing mentors.
While this worked fine for many years, it seems the process is now
stuck. FAmSCo wants to make this process more dynamic and one where
people can more easily become an ambassador-mentor, but not for life.
Mentoring is a rather hard job and sometimes very time-consuming.
After some years of doing this job you grow personally and it is very
rewarding, but there is also a high chance you could burn out. By
adding a removal process we are making it easier for people to step
back and realize they don’t have to do this forever. We are also
creating a structure to have this conversation in.
== Nomination Process ==
1) Who can nominate a new mentor?
* A mentor or a FAmSCo member
* A Region*
*NOTE: Regions need at least 5 +1s to nominate new mentors.
2) Where do they file a ticket?
Instead of filing the request about a new mentor in the FAmSCo pagure,
we want people to file these tickets in the FAmA pagure, because we
prefer if mentors vote about other mentors.
The new process will look like this:
a) After nomination by a FAmSCo member, a mentor or a Region, the
process starts with a ticket in the FAmA pagure, where mentors will be
asked to give their +1/0/-1 to the nomination. As per lazy consensus,
all votes with 0 or -1 have to be explained with a reason. Once the
nominee gets at least 3 +1s, his nomination counts as
“mentor-approved”.
b) At this point, the person who nominated the new mentor, should file
a ticket in the FAmSCo pagure, adding the FAmA in CC for any
notification.
c) Final approval is still done by FAmSCo, but there will be no extra
voting session. Instead, in the ticket, FAmSCo will ask if anyone has
any concerns about the new (and already approved) mentor. If nobody
has concerns the new mentor gets appointed and FAmA will make all
administrative actions required to give the new mentor the correct
permissions.
d) If FAmSCo has a concern, FAmSCo will discuss the reason and do a
final vote. A valid quorum (50% +1) is needed to make this decision,
even on pagure.
== Availability ==
FAmA will check every mentor’s availability and/or activity once a
year and update the wiki page accordingly. This can be done with a
simple survey, where mentors can just flag their actual state. Mentors
can also respond by telling FAmA they are not available.
== Removal Process ==
Similarly to nomination, FAmSCo is introducing a removal process,
which we want as dynamic as the nomination process.
* Asking for the removal of a mentor can be done by a mentor, a FAmSCo
member or by the region. The region must have at least 5 +1s.
* Tickets have to be opened in the FAmSCo pagure and very clear
reasons for the removal need to be provided!!!
* Mentors are asked to provide feedback. Local regional specific
feedback is critical and feedback from a local mentor will help FAmSCo
make a decision.
* FAmSCo votes on the proposal after at least 2 weeks, to give mentors
time to provide feedback. If approved, FAmSCo asks FAmA to take action
to process the removal.
Also, a mentor can be removed by:
* Asking to step down, by filing a ticket in the FAmA pagure (this is
just to track his decision, FAmA can take immediate action)
* Being set as not available for more than 12 months. At this point
the mentor will automatically be removed by FAmA
Kind regards.
