Can't say without knowing what dependencies you are talking about.

<born2linux> EngelsAntonio
<dipanjanc> DipanjanChakraborty
<rishikesh> Rishikesh
<rishikesh> RishikeshSharma
<btoogood> btoogood
<susmit> btoogood, your wiki name please (FirstnameLastname)
<btoogood> BrendonToogood
<susmit> what do we have on agenda?
<dipanjanc> t-shirts
<rishikesh> apac polo shirt
<susmit> ok
<rishikesh> upcoming events for q4
<rishikesh> chinese forum support
<dipanjanc> we were talking about the design and price
<rishikesh> any chinese member here?
<susmit> the design can be "outsourced" to art team
<susmit> are you aware of the service?
<dipanjanc> yes
<shambo> yes
<dipanjanc> does the price depend on the design?
<dipanjanc> or is there a fixd one?
<susmit> rarely, when you produce in bulk, its fixed
<btoogood> i reckon a fixed price myself
<dipanjanc> how much is it around?
<dipanjanc> and can we customize it for our region/
<shambo> !!
<susmit> dipanjanc, +1
<shambo> Its about 25 euro
<btoogood> as because of different currencies around apac if people
are going to order in bulk just a thought
<shambo> dipanjanc, +1
<susmit> shambo, too high a price, we produced some in ~INR250 :)
<dipanjanc> 25 euro is around how much in INR?
<btoogood> approx $54 NZD
<rishikesh> 1592 inr
<susmit> very conservative estimate, excluding shipping, ~10USD
* Subhodip has quit (No route to host)
<susmit> but the question is
<dipanjanc> 1592 INR is too high
<rishikesh> yea
<susmit> who is going to produce them and how to ship it
<susmit> ?
<rishikesh> i think 10 euro is better
<dipanjanc> can we take susmit's suggestion of INR 250?
<rishikesh> we will contact famsco for this
* Subhodip (n=subhodip(a)117.201.96.141) has joined #fedora-meeting
<susmit> Initially, it will involve a lot of money
<susmit> rishikesh, that's fine
<rishikesh> becasue all the financial matter require to contact famsco
<dipanjanc> if we want to customize it, who's doing the design?
<susmit> they are unlikely to provide support for something non-event
<rishikesh> they have already done for the european ambassadors
<btoogood> ok i have just had a thought, now dont bite me, but why not
get the design done and the ambassadors get them printed for there
regions, according to colour of the polo
<btoogood> as different countries different prices for printing, just a thought
<Subhodip> i guess it was for fudcon
<susmit> EMEA has done that..my friend
shambo shandflm SMParrish sm|CPU Sonar_Gal Sonar_Guy sonar_logger3
spevack spot spstarr_work stickster StillBob Subhodip susmit
<susmit> and yes, Subhodip is right
<dipanjanc> so, what's the solution?
<shambo> we must calculate the oder no first as with that pricing will
vary .i.e if we are ordering
<Subhodip> getting a polo shirt printed will be expensive
<susmit> Subhodip, not much
<susmit> ~10USD
<rishikesh> for that quatity, we need to put up the wiki for polo shirt request
<rishikesh> for that quantity, we need to put up the wiki for polo shirt request
<magie> it's around 7 us dollars in the philippines
<Subhodip> so what about normal tees ..then btoogood's suggestion can be done
<susmit> magie, nice :)
<susmit> Subhodip, we
<susmit> have two things
<susmit> one production cost, and another shipping cost
<magie> normal t-shirts go for 4.3 us dollars
<dipanjanc> btoogood's suggestion of getting the design done and
printing it locally is good.
<dipanjanc> is it not?
<rishikesh> lets fix one thing first
<susmit> yes
<Subhodip> if we have a specific design and if we print them locally
as per btoogood then shipping cost
<Subhodip> is not needed i guess
<susmit> first thing is, lets approach art team for a cooool design.
<rishikesh> it should be polo shirt or t-shirt
<susmit> :)
<rishikesh> to me i think polo shirt is better than th-shirt
<Subhodip> +1
<dipanjanc> whichever is more economic :)
<rishikesh> 'casue in any event, polo shirt is better
<Subhodip> tee shirt
<susmit> rishikesh, me, me , me too...
<btoogood> tee shirt is better in summer
<rishikesh> t-shirt is very casual
<rishikesh> not so formal
<dipanjanc> we mostly have summer in India
<Subhodip> eh .. i am wearing fedora tee now ..its not casual
<susmit> what others say?
<rishikesh> 'cause we represent fedora
<dipanjanc> casual is not a factor. I think
<EvilBob> Get Fedora skirts so you stand out in the crowd...
<rishikesh> what we do is what fedora is
* EvilBob runs
<dipanjanc> whatever is good will do
<Subhodip> EvilBob, lol
* susmit runs afet EvilBob
<susmit> after
<shambo> tees will be better
<btoogood> +1 for tees
<Subhodip> so what about if we have a design and let the ambassador
print on what he wan t
<rishikesh> so representing fedora on people event by wearing t-shirt
is not a good idea to me
<Subhodip> want
<dipanjanc> +1 for tees
<susmit> hold on for a second
<susmit> what about girls?
<Subhodip> rishikesh, you are getting it wrong
<dipanjanc> girls wear t-shirts
<dipanjanc> don't they?
<susmit> but the _same_ t-shirt?
<btoogood> they do here
<Subhodip> susmit, yes
<dipanjanc> they do wear the same t-shirts.
* mdomsch (n=mdomsch(a)cpe-70-124-62-55.austin.res.rr.com) has joined
#fedora-meeting
<susmit> I have no problem, but why not ask the girls?
<btoogood> uni-sex tees
<dipanjanc> But, incase they are reluctant, we must think of an alternative
<shambo> if being formal is the case full sleeve shirts is a better option
<dipanjanc> I am not much conversant about ladies-wears
<susmit> lets post this idea on list..and ask for "criticism" :)
<rishikesh> ok
<shambo> +1
<Subhodip> +1
<rishikesh> +1
<btoogood> +1
<dipanjanc> +1
<susmit> +1 :)
* btoogood just asked my wife she thinks tees
<dipanjanc> will differ from country to country
<susmit> and? we are waiting with our finger crossed :D
<rishikesh> fedora is the voice of people, so lets put up on wiki for vote
<dipanjanc> have we finalised for the men?
<dipanjanc> or do we vote for it?
<btoogood> lets take a vote
<susmit> lets discuss it on the list first...then we 'll have a vote
* Subhodip thinks normal tee is better .. but not the white one ..if
printed on black/blue ..its great
<dipanjanc> if we go for a vote, we must also mention the estimated
price against each option
<shambo> about the costing : we should select a nation where cost of
printing and cost of tees/polos will be low
<btoogood> +1 for blue
<dipanjanc> and shipping
<shambo> withn APAC
<rishikesh> we should go for fedora colour
<shambo> shipping will be less than that of US
<susmit> considering APAC is a huge region, why don't we produce it
two or three countries..
<Subhodip> first get the artwork done .. then we can have it printed
in our respective countries
<susmit> but lets not get into details first
<susmit> Subhodip, right
<dipanjanc> then what about the idea of printing it locally?
<Subhodip> why bother about shipping right now
<shambo> subhodip +1
<susmit> dipanjanc, hold on
<susmit> Lets define the tasks
<dipanjanc> ok
<shambo> ok
<rishikesh> ok
<susmit> 1. Post to the list asking for suggestions
<btoogood> ok
<susmit> 2. Request the art team along with Ideas
<susmit> 3. Decide whether it will be a t-shirt or whatever
<susmit> 4. Who is going to produce and store and ship
<susmit> 5. How many?
<susmit> EOF
<rishikesh> ok
<rishikesh> +1
<shambo> +1
<dipanjanc> done
<susmit> anything anyone want to add?
<rishikesh> lets do this onefirst
<dipanjanc> can we also list the estimated price when we decide?
<rishikesh> good idea
<btoogood> good idea
<susmit> yes we can
<dipanjanc> which point does this add to? 6.?
<susmit> dipanjanc, why don't you put up a wiki page on the same?
<shambo> i think we should consider both pricing of tees and polos
<dipanjanc> ok. I will do it. And let you know
<susmit> thanks
<rishikesh> ok
<susmit> so may we move?
<shambo> it will help in price comparison and better decision making
<rishikesh> thats the end of discussion for shirts
<dipanjanc> yes what's next?
<rishikesh> now lets move forward for the events
<btoogood> yip lets
<shambo> yes
<susmit> anyone from china?
<rishikesh> i think we should go for a event in which all regions
members can meet with
<susmit> I guess no...so no point discussing agenda 2

by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
Makgosh and subhodip have each one package in this list which we will
lose soon if the problem is not resolved. Note that the new rpm in
rawhide does not accept fuzz by default which might be the origin of
some issues in packages you maintain if you have additional patches
original from a older upstream release. If any help is required, ask in
fedora-devel list or #fedora-devel irc channel.
