Here is the extraction of the irc chat with inode0 on March 4th, 2012.
[10:14] <bckurera> inode0 I would like to get some info about NA [10:14] <inode0> sure [10:15] <bckurera> specially about the Trac [10:15] <bckurera> as you have mentioned in the last meeting, I was creating a proposal, so think of getting your ideas :) [10:16] <bckurera> do NA trac handle request related with funds/ budget? [10:16] <bckurera> for events [10:16] <inode0> for events what we normally do is request funds on the event page, put a budget there [10:17] <inode0> then at our FAmNA meetings we discuss and approve what we approve [10:17] <inode0> reimbursements are handled through a private trac [10:17] <bckurera> no involvement of FAmSCo? [10:18] <inode0> no [10:18] <bckurera> ok, thanks [10:19] <inode0> well, sort of in a way historically [10:19] == spot [spot@redhat/spot] has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds] [10:19] <bckurera> then how to trac the budget available for NA for a year? [10:19] <inode0> we normally had max here to work with directly and he was also on famsco so there was a connection there [10:19] == spot [spot@beer.tclug.org] has joined #fedora-ambassadors [10:19] <bckurera> like before accepting the request we should have to know that the funds available for the request! [10:20] <inode0> so famsco knew what we were spending but did not formally approve those expenses [10:20] <bckurera> understood like Harish? [10:20] <inode0> yes, I would like the regional support budget to be block allocated to regions in part so we could all have more control over it locally [10:21] <dramsey> +1 [10:21] <bckurera> agree with you [10:21] <inode0> we need to build trust relationships and work together for that to happen over time but we can get there [10:21] <dramsey> +1
