I think EMEA already made that decision 2 releases ago
yep. We are now trying to take that forward as a model.
What you think I tried as first thing in APAC to centralize the
production, but what shall I say it doesnt work that well. Its a it because we relaying on
the goodwill of Harish who is always also a it busy. There is actually no problem
importing DVD to China, there is a problem when an Ambassador takes it with him in the
plane, not when we sending it via RH office Singapore to RH office Beijing.
We can resolve these kinds of administrative issues. Let's focus on the solution, not
the past. There are now more people and resources available.
To be honest, for exactly such kind of organizational things we used
the FAD but currently, we are in APAC orientless and why, because somebody changed the
budgetting process and we dont know anything now, when we should do the FAD. We had the
plan to make it on FUDCon to save money, but somebody decided to make FUDCon later as we
usually did the FAD and had to provide the budget plan. We simple can not do this in IRC
meetings and there are some good reasons for. Maye somebody should get out his geography
book back from school and cut out the Phillippines and lay it over Europe and do the same
with Indonesia and the US maybe then it becomes a bit clearer, that here are different
problems.
The budget process is not the problem here. There is money APAC is simply not meeting so
there has been no authorization to spend it. There is no prohibition on FADs, for
example, LATAM just had one. However, the council is not going to tell APAC how to be an
effective region. Council is not going to tell you when to meet and what to talk about.
@robyduck is working on some of these issues in Mindshare. But right now what we need
leaders in APAC to step up. @pjp is starting to do that.
Nobody can say to me I give away useless things, there are several
meeting logs where I say this. I am the person who did look into the trash bins on events.
I found ther Jirkas flyer but no DVD ;)
I am not accusing you of this. I am saying that taking DVDs to a meeting in some
countries is generally going to result in waste. In Cambodia, based on my experience and
what you've shared with me, DVDs continue to be a necessity and are not useless.
