| * dholbach relocates to the office, brb | 12:18 | |
| dpm | popey, nice work with the fosdem report! | 13:43 |
| popey | ta | 13:46 |
| czajkowski | FOSDEM rocks | 13:54 |
| popey | yes. | 13:57 |
| czajkowski | I shall not be sick next year for it! | 14:02 |
| ovidiu-florin | mhall119: here | 17:57 |
| mhall119 | hi ovidiu-florin | 17:57 |
| mhall119 | ovidiu-florin: so what we have done in the past is just get a rough estime, is it going to be hundred or thousands of dollars, and we can approve based on that | 17:57 |
| mhall119 | do if you know it's a trans-oceanic flight you can estimate that it'll be more than a regional flight | 17:58 |
| ovidiu-florin | so currently I've asked for funds and that request covest my travel and accomodation and just a few extra for food, because I don't know If I would get lunch from the event or not | 17:58 |
| mhall119 | all we want is the chance to let you know that your expense is going to be paid, whatever it happens to be in the end | 17:58 |
| pleia2 | ovidiu-florin: fwiw, I've never had any trouble asking for more/less in my estimated expenses when submitting my reimbursement claim, if it's going to be a lot more I just let them know (they are people, they respond to emails and are friendly :)) | 17:59 |
| mhall119 | ovidiu-florin: I see it, and that's fine. though you mention it covering also another Kubuntu contributor, is the one cost estimate for both of you? | 17:59 |
| pleia2 | so I wouldn't be paranoid about lunch or a slightly higher ticket price being an issue, just let them know that your estimate had to be changed | 18:00 |
| ovidiu-florin | mhall119: that covers the transport and acomodation for both of us, but if we don't get lunch from the event, 200 € I don't believe will be enough for food and other expenses for 10 days | 18:00 |
| czajkowski | ovidiu-florin: there is also this irc channel to ping a request for information | 18:01 |
| ovidiu-florin | czajkowski: how? | 18:01 |
| ovidiu-florin | ask people, or a bot? | 18:01 |
| czajkowski | ovidiu-florin: by saying hi is there someone from the community team here that can help me | 18:01 |
| czajkowski | I have a question | 18:01 |
| ovidiu-florin | so people, ok then | 18:01 |
| czajkowski | and usually dholbach mhall119 popey dpm balloons will all be here | 18:01 |
| dholbach | we're quite accessible | 18:02 |
| * popey hides | 18:02 | |
| ovidiu-florin | and can I ask here if my estimations were wrong when I applied? | 18:02 |
| * balloons hides behind popey | 18:02 | |
| balloons | :-) | 18:02 |
| mhall119 | ovidiu-florin: yes | 18:02 |
| mhall119 | ovidiu-florin: or email msm if she's already in contact with you | 18:02 |
| ovidiu-florin | ok, we have a saying in Romania, don't strech longer than your blanket | 18:02 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: have you seen my application? | 18:02 |
| ovidiu-florin | I don't know how long my "ubuntu blanket" is | 18:03 |
| pleia2 | I always just chat with Michelle, she's been great | 18:03 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: yes | 18:03 |
| ahoneybun | o | 18:03 |
| ahoneybun | *ok | 18:03 |
| mhall119 | ovidiu-florin: if you think you'll need extra food money, go ahead and request it | 18:03 |
| ovidiu-florin | so I'm always afraid that my request will be two much | 18:03 |
| ovidiu-florin | too* | 18:03 |
| czajkowski | ovidiu-florin: it's a fair system and the people who manage the fund are open fair and approachable for questions and to help folks | 18:04 |
| ahoneybun | same here ovidiu-florin | 18:04 |
| czajkowski | they're not trying to keep the funds for themselves | 18:04 |
| czajkowski | :) | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | the requests don't go into a secret black box, if your request was denied you can chat with mhall119, dholbach and others about what you can request (I do it all the time) | 18:04 |
| ovidiu-florin | sorry, I grew up in a capitalist world :( | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | ovidiu-florin: we're friendly here! | 18:05 |
| ovidiu-florin | awesome | 18:05 |
| popey | \o/ socialism rules! | 18:05 |
| mhall119 | hippies | 18:05 |
| popey | ☭ \o/ | 18:05 |
| * mhall119 hugs you all | 18:05 | |
| ahoneybun | XD | 18:05 |
| dholbach | popey, https://www.mixcloud.com/djshum/dj-shum-soviet-bossa-nova-70s/ - enjoy :) | 18:06 |
| popey | \o/ <3 | 18:06 |
| ovidiu-florin | mhall119: so can I request now for an increase in my funding? I don't know exactly how much would I need to survive 10 days in Spain | 18:07 |
| mhall119 | ovidiu-florin: sure, I can just update the spreadsheet if you can tell me (in PM if you'd like) how much to adjust it by | 18:07 |
| dholbach | ovidiu-florin, you can maybe search for "per diem" to get an idea somewhere | 18:07 |
| czajkowski | actually as a suggestion for the communty team | 18:08 |
| czajkowski | if you had a per diem in place people would know what to budget for | 18:08 |
| czajkowski | like when we had UDS there was a per diem | 18:08 |
| dholbach | czajkowski, they apply for all kinds of events | 18:08 |
| czajkowski | that would help people funds | 18:08 |
| mhall119 | czajkowski: good idea | 18:09 |
| ovidiu-florin | mhall119: I'll research and get back to you | 18:09 |
| dholbach | czajkowski, like "random conf in waziristan" | 18:09 |
| popey | also differnet in different places | 18:09 |
| popey | 50$ vs 50 finnish thingies | 18:09 |
| dholbach | and we don't know what a per diem might be, or haven't ever heard of the place or conference :) | 18:09 |
| mhall119 | popey: yes,but we do have a list | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | lunch in san francisco is more expensive than lunch in... anywhere else | 18:09 |
| pleia2 | brb, $12 grilled cheese sandwich | 18:09 |
| popey | mmmmmm cheese | 18:09 |
| popey | http://drool.popey.com/ | 18:10 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 18:10 |
| popey | reminds me, I have lots of cheese for tea! | 18:10 |
| czajkowski | pleia2: indeed, but eating in the US in general is cheaper but then tipping kicks in | 18:10 |
| czajkowski | so per diem cheat sheet is useful | 18:10 |
| elfy | pleia2: is it real cheese? burns the roof of your mouth when cold? | 18:10 |
| czajkowski | some counteris produce one each year | 18:10 |
| czajkowski | and liek I said cnaonical did have one for UDs and for employees | 18:10 |
| pleia2 | elfy: it is actually quite fancy grilled cheese, lots of different cheeses and breads <3 | 18:11 |
| pleia2 | (I don't actually eat it anymore, because it's terrible for me, but it's my favorite example of ridiculously priced things here) | 18:11 |
| czajkowski | pizza slice near my office was $5 | 18:11 |
| czajkowski | massive slice! | 18:11 |
| pleia2 | the valley is a bit cheaper than SF | 18:12 |
| czajkowski | valley is miles out :( | 18:12 |
| czajkowski | *sulks* | 18:12 |
| popey | dholbach: nice music | 18:13 |
| pleia2 | czajkowski: oh, which office? | 18:13 |

| popey | that'll do | 18:38 |
| popey | I used to commute for 3 hours on a monday morning to wales | 18:39 |
| popey | that was madness | 18:39 |
| czajkowski | that's utterly bonkers | 18:39 |
| czajkowski | see 27 mins to co work with us is a lot better | 18:39 |
| popey | I agree | 18:39 |
| popey | looking forward to it | 18:39 |
| czajkowski | WFH++ | 18:39 |

| jcastro | mhall119, what are people putting in these nominations? | 18:56 |
| pleia2 | jcastro: they're being sent to the membership board, so we don't know :) belkinsa would know | 19:04 |
| jcastro | ok I basically said not much, heh | 19:04 |
| pleia2 | jcastro: the minimum required are noted on the announcement: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-community-team/2015-February/000416.html | 19:04 |
| jcastro | I am going for the "so old I hopefully don't need to explain" | 19:04 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that's fine | 19:04 |
| ahoneybun | jcastro: I put my name, lp link, wiki link, and time for a meeting | 19:05 |
| jcastro | ack, good, I put those things | 19:05 |
| jcastro | I can commit to either or both meetings | 19:05 |
| pleia2 | seems the 1200 meeting is the one that struggles for quorum the most | 19:05 |
| pleia2 | we always lack folks on the board from APAC | 19:05 |
| jcastro | ok | 19:07 |
| * mhall119 got 2 nominees today \o/ | 19:07 | |
| pleia2 | :D | 19:08 |
| jcastro | how many do we need? | 19:09 |
| mhall119 | 7 I think | 19:10 |
| elfy | in total yes | 19:10 |
| elfy | and hi jcastro | 19:10 |
| jcastro | hi! | 19:10 |
| jcastro | so do we need 5 more? | 19:10 |
| elfy | afaik - 7 was you | 19:11 |
| jcastro | \o/ | 19:11 |
| pleia2 | well, 7 is the bare minimum to fill the seats, it's good to have more nominees than spots so we actually have choices | 19:11 |
| elfy | pleia2: just about to say that | 19:12 |
| elfy | got easier sentence to type :D | 19:12 |
| pleia2 | not that any of the nominees are bad (I don't know who they are :)), just valuable to have choices so we make sure we have a diverse group in terms of geography/culture/gender/etc | 19:13 |
| elfy | yep | 19:19 |
