Large countries have logical ways of dividing themselves, by state, region, territory, county, whatever. Similarly, people identify themselves highest by these divisions, usually starting with the smallest and closest grain to themselves. Fedora Ambassador for Santa Cruz, California, USA Yes, that is definitely a speed I can work with. However, if you know SC, you know that not much happens here. So, add that to my position in Fedora overall, and I can accept: Fedora Ambassador for Silicon Valley, California, USA Woah! That's quite a bite to chew on. I can reach all the venues within a few hours by car, that's OK. But I cannot be at every Linux event in that area. In fact, I don't know that I want to be at that many of them, ever. I recommend that we allow for limitations based on these regions. I expect to be the only ambassador for my town, in the vein of what Patrick discusses, you need a regional leader, however you define that region. For the size of the Silicon Valley, we need coordination amongst regional ambassadors. One for Mountain View/Palo Alto/Stanford University. One for San Francisco, one for Berkeley, one for San Jose. Each region understands its needs best. Just allow for as structure that can let one multi-regional ambassador rise as multi-regional leader. Think of something cellular.

At the moment this page lists all events, big and small. We can add more depth to these pages later, once we are covering enough events. We need to become disciplined about attending events first. If we cannot cover an event, but a new community contributor visits the website to find out about it. can't he suggest his participation there? As long as we have a name in the "ambassador" column on the FedoraEvents page, it does not make a difference whether the person responsible for running the event is an ambassador. We just need to make sure to coach them on messaging. FedoraEvents page the ambassadors should: 1) update the page 2) send out an alert to ambassadors-list 3) go there and find people to help out or 4) just find people to help out, if you can't go yourself You can add all events, no matter how small, to this list, as long as you actually GO there. The events that do not have an owner yet need to be removed from this page to HelpWanted/Events (nman64 will take care of that).

MatthewMiller is tentatively assumed to be owner. tchung will contact Matthew if he's interested in being Fedora Ambassador or just being team lead for fudcon. April 19-22, 2006 FISL 7.0 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil -- Rodrigo Padula 7th International Free Software Forum This if the biggest conference for IT Infrastructure and Developers in Brazil. Lot of developers communities in this meetings and many lectures, in 6 auditoriums. In 2005, FISL 6.0 had 4,414 attendees from11 countries and almost every Brazilian state. We have 4 Amabassadors in Brazil. it's obvious this is one conference we really, really need to pay attention to. much more so than LWCE. Rodrigo Padula will go. Barz and Co are currently finalizing the proposal for the presentation. Not sure if any other ambassadors did this, but RP has already put his name as presenter. quaid: IMNSHO, Red Hat should fly in a prominent Fedora somebody, maybe one who speaks localeze? lxo or riel come to mind riel is sitting next to lxmaier and he says it's tempting. riel entered the room. riel: since you were talking about me ... ;) riel: for the record, I agree that FISL is an important conference. the last one I was at had about 6000 attendees. all going to the conference tracks. the trade show was absolutely minimal. Schwag pipeline ? lxmaier Need to make sure that the schwag pipeline is functional. This is separate from the actual stuff we send; this is just making sure that the stuff we send actually gets to the places it needs to go. this one will need to stay with lxmaier for a while, because she is figuring out a fulfillment channel for us. lxmaier requested a quote and should have it in about a week. will keep ambassadors posted when something happens. Business cards -- lxmaier We need business cards for Fedora Ambassadors. That is our +1 need. Even though the logo is still with legal, we can begin thinking about this and prepare the layout so that we can print them right away we are working on these and will be ready to go soon. lxmaier will keep posted. Email addresses at fedoraproject.org -- Sopwith Seth and Elliot are working on a good way to streamline this process and make it part of the account system and/or the wiki, but we need to keep up with it here Make it like a business card--something that shows you belong. Someone needs to be accountable for creating criteria, process, and joining that with Sopwith's tools The changes needed are on Seth's end mainly, but coordinating that is important, too. *ALL* ambassadors should get official fedoraproject.org email address, along with other contributors. Email is cheap to provide, and does have a nice status, it -is- the calling card of the Web It just needs action by seth, which Sopwith continues to prod for, but don't expect to happen RSN. There's not much we can do without Seth - it's his computer system and nobody else has the access or knowledge necessary. quaid will sidebar the discussion with Sopwith about getting someone to help Seth. Standard Ambassadors kit -- BobJensen We need a standard "kit" for all Ambassadors; DVDs, promotional materials, and schwag. We need to figure out what the kit will contain and such. BobJensen is willing to help with this Presentations for Ambassadors -- BobJensen We need to provide Ambassadors with some slide decks for various presentations. We should probably aggregate the ones we already have and make them available. We should also figure out our policy for licensing these presentations! Presentations layout and Demos: ambassadors should have the graphical interface similar to the screenshots made by osdirs for fc while presenting publicly, just as with documentation. In the documentation project it is outlined what the desktop should look like. If you are presenting publicly, you might just create a user "demo" on your machine, make it look standard, and use this profile for all public demos and presentations. BobJensen will get some stuff pulled together from the Docs Project example before next week Funding for attendance ? lxmaier We will continue to discuss fundraising options for shows. We have about 3000 for the coming quarter, so we will be able to spend some of this money on flying ppl around. We might not be always able to cover 100% of your cost, but we'll try and do our best. lxmaier is doing some reading up on the non-profit fundraising and will begin a thread on the ambassadors list. Everybody will research their local guidelines and post it to the list, so that we can be sure to be legal and not get the foundation in trouble. Please research local laws and post to the list. -- New content on Fedora Project page! http://fedoraproject.org Fedora Ambassadors From lxmaier at gmail.com Fri Dec 2 02:51:36 2005 From: lxmaier at gmail.com (Alex Maier) Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2005 21:51:36 -0500 Subject: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] Fundraising for Fedora -- research local regulations Message-ID: <7f617d270512011851x2e684f49g27404ac00ddcb432@mail.gmail.com> Gang, If we want to rais money, we will have to know what the laws are in each country for this.

Certainly it will be helpful to form a non profit organisation / non governmental organisation( popularly known as NGO in India) to raise funds. There are laws at centarl level as well as at state level. We can form a soceity/assaociation/organaisation at Central level that can work for entire country also. http://www.helplinelaw.com/docs/main.php3?id=SORA1 State level act is also similar to central one. eg for Andhra Pradesh state of India visit.. http://www.ap.gov.in/card/soci_act.htm Regards, Rajesh Ranjan INDIA.

Thanks for the general note, but I think I know what I'm doing. Last month I handed out 40 Ubuntu CDs, the month before that I burnt and handed out 30 GNOME Live CDs...

But only to give the opportunity to European Ambassadors know each other and be aware of the upcoming events. Just like a team. It would be also an opportunity for some EU ambassadors (or any other amba) to catch up missed meetings on thursday. I personnally would suggest that the MBEA be held once a month or twice a month. Any EU ambassador can take the respondibility hold a meeting at any time. By default, ive chosen next tuesday http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=12&day=13&year=2005&hour=21&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 If any EU amba is not free or can't be present on the MBEAs, they can request changes. These changes will also depend on the availibility of other EU ambas. This first meeting would be like a small introduction and could last for one hour.

I'm sure ambassadors can come up with alternatives for their different markets. We had a related issue in Brazil, where taxes on the DVDs value ended up close to a monthly minimum wage. In our case, we suggest shipping the next promotional materials declaring zero cost (or something like 5 bucks), and as "gifts". So taxes on the merchandise value will remain relatively small. Regarding the shipping cost, here are a few alternatives: . asking for donations through country-lists and paypal . donations from universities . donations from related businesses . creating a local NGO to facilitate operations and offer tax-free donations receiving > Shouldn't we think about a few distribution-points spread over the > world?

The last meeting was adjourned due to unable to satify minimum 5 participants. Some of us (eg. Alex) have scheduled one hour for the meeting. Others try to make their best to be present even if they are 30 minutes late due to traffic (eg. GeroldKassude). There are numerous ways we ambassadors try to be present during the meeting.

If you think you can attend the meeting, add your name. Please do it at least minimum 2 days before the meeting so that I or Alex or anyone can announce officially in the list whether the meeting will take place or not. #002 : for the MBEA http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Meetings/MBEA please follow the same principle. NOTE: Since no one responded about the MBEA scheduled time, I took the innitiative to put it on Monday 12 at 21:00 UTC.

Have your name on Ambassadors Country List so the people can find and contact you. 2. Have your Ambassador profile on your personal wiki page so everybody knows who they are dealing with and what your interests are. As an Ambassador, you represent Fedora to the world, and presenting yourself on the wiki is a good start. Don't forget to include your email address! 3. Be subscribed to the [WWW] mailing list to be up to date on the goings-on of the Ambasador world. For the new ones among us, this group is a meritocracy, as is Fedora--the more good stuff you do, the more carma you collect, and you can get shiny goodies or a trip to a Fedora event with the carma :) Further, our schwag supplies are limited right now, as well as Greg's and mine capability to ship stuff around the world. We are working on putting a system in place to drop-ship DVDs and goodies, but it is not there yet. And so... There will be a 30-day freeze on goodie shipments to all newbie Ambassadors, while they are on "probation"--as we see you contribute to the group, you will be able to order the goodies.

My name is Glauber Adriano, I'm 26 years old and live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I work as a software engineer for a major player in the banking field. I joined this group for several reasons, amongst them: - I am adicted to Fedora - Lack of Fedora presence at Free Software events in Brazil - I like developing java apps on Fedora - I want to spread the word. I am just starting as Ambassador, so my first goal is to send Fedora dvd's to some people at research centers around the country. We, brazilian Ambassadors, are getting more organized. We will have a local meeting next thursday and discuss about our roadmap for next year. We have so many ideas and I am really sure we can help make Fedora a well-known GNU/Linux distro in our country.

If you are going to organize sub meetings for Ambassadors, discuss and try to get consensus from other ambassadors in your region before doing the announcements.

I still have it in my TODO list to check the Ambassador slides and come up with a potentially good template for everyone to base their presentations on. I have tons of 'official' work on the plate but I plan to get to it finally during the weekend. Meanwhile if you have guys have questions to ask, add them to the FAQ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/FAQ.

Greg, Alex, does Red Hat don't want us on the Red Hat booth or do we want do show independence with our own Fedora booth? Just to give and example: I visited LinuxWorld Germany this year in November as part of my job. I had appointments with Red Hat and Novell/Suse -- I talked round about 45 minutes with both these firms. We talked *a little bit* about Fedora at the Red Hat booth. But there was no real fedora presence. Red Hat and some partners only showed some things on the computers on the booth. In the appointment wit Novell/Suse the person I talked to often mentioned openSuse and that it is important for Novell/Suse. They even had a computer and a developer from Suse on the booth dedicated to questions from visitors on openSuse. Well you might get it: The Suse solution looked a lot more professional for me. So I always would prefer a dedicated computer to fedora on the Red Hat booth over a small presence at the community/.org-Pavillon.

I was only one day on LinuxTAG last year -- I think three boxes and so many people are not needed. One box with two people or max two boxes with at least three or four should work fine. > I am not sure it will happen this year, as I am no longer organize > events for Red Hat Europe, but if you are interested in manning a > station on Red Hat booth, get to me with a workable "business plan" -- GeroldKa, what do you think? > i.e. what you plan to demo and how many people have you found to man > the booth -- and I will try and lobby for getting a Fedora pod on the > booth at LinuxTag (should it take place and should Red Hat go there). Thanks Alex. But this was also a general question for other events, therefor I would still be interested in other peoples opinion. IMHO it not only better for both sides (Red Hat and Fedora) to be present on one booth -- it's probably also cheaper.

My girlfriend lives in Frankfurt. We will try to attend at least on one day at Wiesbaden. But I need to have my next timetable to finalise. PS: Linuxtag in Wiesbaden : 3 to 6 May 2006 > As I said, I would prefer a presence on the red hat booth because it > looks more professional.

So intuitively THE public will search Fedora on Red Hat booth. > Hopefully we have a official LiveCD/DVD until then.

Im writing a tutorial on how to create their own official live CD/DVD with kadischi on http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Chitlesh_Goorah I think next week it will be ready. Patience :) I think I have a bad news. Here in strasbourg the members of my local lug plans to organize an "open source" day on 25th of June. But the main problem is that i have already book plane tickets for mauritius on the 29th of June. Till now the date hasn't yet finalised. Im pushing them to change the date :) Ill keep you tuned.

My bad! Sorry if I misunderstood some of the statements within the chat log. Please feel free to edit the wiki page.

Its Still fresh. First as long awaited here in Strasbourg, France there will be an "open source" day http://strasbourg.linuxfr.org/jl4/index on the 23-25 June 2006. This event will be intended as I mentioned in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents to promote open source softwares and linux. If somebody is motivated to make a conference about fedora, do inform me. Hence you will become the guest of our lug. We ( the lug members ) are looking forward to invite lecturers and to pay their journey and hotel too. This needs to be confirmed. The money required to host the lecturers will be from either paid entrance or companies paying for the booth. to rent a booth for fedora, we have to pay. Price will be communicated later. There are also talks about free booth for associations. But nothing yet confirmed. Its possible to sell Fedora t-shirts or other goodies for fund raising. But in this case, we must rent a booth for Fedora. Now comes the "maybe" bad news: this scheduled date for the event interfere badly with two of MY private life things: 1. I have already booked two tickets (my gf and I) to Mauritius. 2. my contract with the hostel ends in the beginning of June and somebody will be occupying my actual room. so meanwhile send your comments, queries or any other proposals :) regards, Chitlesh GOORAH -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com From Frederic.Hornain at GB.BE Mon Dec 19 18:40:03 2005 From: Frederic.Hornain at GB.BE (Hornain Frederic) Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2005 19:40:03 +0100 Subject: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] School, LUG, Non-profit Program- Marketing Mentor Call - Message-ID: Dear all, I will be short. Last friday I went to the french engineer computers school for my second interview with the principal of this one. FYI, the first one was just to establish the contact. We have talked during few hours about Linux, Fedora and other Open source applications. Then we have planned to make an event in january as soon as I will received Fedora cd's from Alex. Brief, this is what we have agreed upond the following action: - Make a Fedora Project overview for students and teachers. - Use Fedora at school - it is already the case - - Try to create a Fedora Linux group associated to school or LUG like which can be help the Fedora project as far as they can obviously. - Have a partnership with Fedora - That is for marketing - (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/FAQ#head-d2fe35efbc7611aa461c563cc68bbd64ae9122d8 ) - Use "Fedora Project" logo and other Fedora marks as far as they respect the terms of the Trademark Guidelines ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/FAQ#head-ed90660c6f5522ec7c71f820221f87b80d770556 & http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/TrademarkGuidelines ) Obviously, before to go futher I would like an approuvment from a Marketing Mentor for that. In addition, if everybody agree I will create a wiki page for school/LUG/Non-profit partnership program and all could be related to it. BTW, I will appreciate if someone from marketing could tell me what can be done or not. If you have any remarks, feel free to contact me.

While we are on this topic, I think the following would help promoting Fedora for schools and colleges. 1) Build a Live CD based on Fedora repository packages (Core+Extras) targeted at schools. Get whatever packages into the repositories to make this happen 2) Build a installalable version of the same 3) Continue working on modifying the trademark guidelines to enable such things to happen under a Fedora banner. regards Rahul From redbyte.labs at gmail.com Tue Dec 20 16:42:57 2005 From: redbyte.labs at gmail.com (REDbyte Labs) Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2005 21:42:57 +0500 Subject: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] Logos and Emblems Message-ID: Hi!

Events 2. Ambassadors Steering Committee Events ------ Jan 31 - Feb 2, 2006 Solutions Linux 2006 abombard is in charge, we most likely have missed the deadline. lxmaier will check with the organizers for a slot in the .org village, but we are not too hopeful. if all else fais, we will be on the local lug booth Feb 25-26, 2006 FOSDEM hornain has everything under control. will report to the list. Mar 28-30, 2006 LWCE Australia barz will find a volunteer or two to jump in and represent Fedora at this show. General Events Stuff 1. we all need to remember that two months befre a show is already too late to participate in most shows. 2. If transportation/accommodation expenses prevent Ambassadors from going to an event, Fedora will try to help with what little money we got. Do not expect to have all expenses covered, but we will try our best not to let you go bancrupt over an event :) Ambassadors Steering Committee As the Ambassadors' numbers grow, we need a few (very likely 7) people to step up and help lead the group--and we will call them "Steering Committee." The Committee will decide on things such as which events receive higher priority (in case of limited funds and materials available), will help set the guidelines for Ambassadors, will take care of meeting preparation, agenda, an protocol, and stuff like that. In general, SC will be the organ which will help us all function better and let us have a backup for Alex :) The members of the committee do not need to be affilliated with Red Hat or any other Fedora project. They need to be experienced enough to know what Fedora is and does, and what Ambassadors are supposed to be doing. Ambassadors program is a meritocracy, so the ones who have shown that they are actively doing the right thing will be best candidates. Everybody please think whether you have the time and resources necessary to be a member of the SC, and if you do, step up! If you wish to be on the committee, or if you wish to propose someone else, write a message to the list. We will be selecting committee members during the next meeting. -- Check out the new content on Fedora Project page! http://fedoraproject.org From juan.lentino at gmail.com Sat Dec 24 23:12:10 2005 From: juan.lentino at gmail.com (Juan Lentino) Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2005 20:12:10 -0300 Subject: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] Opening a .org.ar about Fedora Message-ID: <507675060512241512y1694ff10gf9be6e1031e4edd9@mail.gmail.com> Hello, I registered www.fedoraproject.org.ar or something like that.

I think it is understood that Alex should have a place. Greg would also be a good candidate. Anyone else who is considering nominating themselves or others should be aware that it is not a casual commitment to be taken lightly. You must be ready and able to devote the necessary time and resources, and should not accept a position if there is any chance you will have to walk away. A position on the SC should not be treated as temporary or a way to contribute casually. There may not be a defined 'term' for a position on the SC. Accepting a position is making a solid commitment to the Fedora Project. If you are looking for a more casual position, the status of Ambassador is perfect, and there may be other opportunities in the future to take on additional responsibilities. > Please note I'll be on vacation from 12/25/05 until 1/15/06 and I won't be able to > attend next IRC meeting since I'll be out of country.

Ambassadors Steering Committee [...] As I have "read it correct" (between the lines) and see the coming response (in the mailing-list) to the mail Alex has written is: imho the important persons of the Steering Comitee are those people which work a long time before Fedora Core together ... And imho I belive they should do it. Their experiance and knowledge (in all important things and persons within Red Hat, Fedora, Marketing, exhebitions, organisations etc.) will be the best we could ever get. We all, new and young ambassadors are only or can only be "helping hands" maybe with new ideas to the Steering Comittee, but I'll do it very likely. Maybe, if I have an idea I'll give it to the Comittee, it should decide what to do with my idea ... I belive in that concept. In my eyes, Alex, Rahul, Patrick, Thomas, David and Greg are the first choice of the persons which should lead the "Ambassadors". Just my five cents to the discussion.

And in reaction to Gerold's remark about "reading between the lines"--the requirement of a certain level of experience and proven commitment seems to be justified for all who want to lead the Ambassadors project. I hope I stated this clearly in my notes, and not only "between the lines."

The Trademark Guidelines prevent this kind of commercial usage. Stock Fedora CDs are permitted, but selling other merchandise with the Fedora (or Red Hat) marks is not permitted. The reason that not just anyone can use the trademark is so that we have the opportunity to protect the Fedora name from abuse and keep Fedora from being misrepresented. If they would like to discuss using the trademark with us, we can probably work something out for them to continue selling merchandise, but they should not otherwise be permitted to continue. We have the opportunity to decide how the Fedora name and brand can be used, and we should take advantage of that opportunity to keep others from using the Fedora brand in a way that is against the spirit of Fedora. We do want people to be able to create and distribute Fedora merchandise, but we must be careful to avoid commercial exploitation that misrepresents or hurts Fedora. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64 at n-man.com http://www.n-man.com/ -- Have I been helpful?

And agree that the Red Hat logo is for Red Hat only. They diserv to make money out of it (i have 2), but as long as the Fedora brand is not mis-used, I cant see how it can hurt the Fedora project. And I cant see why Fedora project need to make money out of somebudy that are making free kommersials for Fedora. I thnk that some Fedora ambassidors need to contact them, and ask why they did not ask for permission. And then (if they arent rude) add them to the reseller list. Dont push for money. They is will just abandom the T-shirts and sell Ubuntu shirts instead. /Bjorn Andersen On 12/26/05, Patrick Barnes wrote: > Mauricio Pretto - LM? wrote: > > Hi Guys, > > I dont know if this already has been discussed here, and if this > > is the right place to talk about this, but..... > > > > There is a online shopping site here in Brazil called LinuxMall > > (www.linuxmall.com.br) that sells Fedora stuff (t-shirts, pens, mugs > > and others), i dont know if they have autorization to do this, i guess > > they dont. > > > > I think we can talk with them and make part of this money be > > donnated to fedora project dont you think ? > > > > > > - http://www.linuxmall.com.br/index.php?category=canetas > > - http://www.linuxmall.com.br/index.php?category=camisetas > > - http://www.linuxmall.com.br/index.php?category=camisas > > > > Regards > > > This is a violation of the Trademark Guidelines > (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/TrademarkGuidelines).

For the first week or so Alex will continue to lead this group after which the Committee will either confirm her as permanent Chair or have one of the members step up himself. The SC is there mostly to decide on priorities, such as what event to spend the money on, and to make sure we set the goals for the group and decide on the guidelines if necessary. 2 More ambassadors should be contributing to the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/PressArchive 3 Jan 31 - Feb 2, 2006 Solutions Linux 2006 Paris, France we seem to have missed the deadline to secure a spot for fedora, so aurelien will be representing us on the local LUG booth. it is suboptimal but better than nothing. Chitlesh Goorah estimates he will need EUR 160 to be able to attend Solutions Linux. SC will decide whether we can give Chitlesh money and if yes, how much? 4 Feb 8-10, 2006 LinuxAsia 2006 New Delhi India Rahul has provided a draft presentation under: http://people.redhat.com/sundaram/Fedora.sxi Please everyone take a look and give constructive feedback and/or learn from Rahul (mether) if we can get shwag flyers cd/dvds etc that would be nice. Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay (sm|CPU) needs to talk about that, since he said he might be able to arrange it himself ChitleshGoorah: if these flyers can be posted online it would be useful to me during the install parties 5 Mar 29 - Apr 2, 2006 Minibit Loerrach Loerach, Germany GeroldKa has got the booth for his LUG 6 x 2 sqm (20x10 square ft) Would be cool to have some schwag and maybe a flag or a banner for the show. It all depends on the fulfillment for Fedora. 7 Alex will re-confirm fedora budget with Red Hat and submit it to the SC and later, once SC goes over it and approves, we'll post it to the list. 8 as both gregdek__ and lxmaier have day jobs, we cannot guarantee timely delivery before we have a working fulfillment system. We were hoping we would have a working automated fulfillment system for ambassadors sooner... but it is not as easy as we all hoped. We are considering two fulfillment companies who can produce DVDs, CDs, t-shirts, pens, and anything else that can be manufactured, on demand for us. 9 email at fedoraproject.org it seems to be easy to do, but someone has to do it... and in all likelihood it will be sopwith :) That's largely waiting on a Fedora Infrastructure project to be completed. Elliot I guess hasn't returned from the holidays yet. 10 We have seen a lot of new recruits in the ambassadors team lately. We should encourage them to show up at the meetings. Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/HowTo for minimal requirements. All newbies, please be sure that if you are not active during your probation of 30 days, your status will remain "inactive" after this time, and no schwag will be sent to you until you begin to contribute actively to meetings, discussions, and wiki. One good place to contribute is http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/PressArchive in your local language. We need more articles on this page, and I know they are out there! 11 Alex has also pinged a few remaining folks without wiki pages to build them. We need to make sure all ambassadors are easily reachable by public, and a wiki page is essencial for this. 12 A note for the new ones in the meeting, the meeting times alterate each week, by 8 hours--to accommodate ambassadors in all the regions So the next meeting will be at 14:00 UTC, on thu, Jan 5 14 UTC = 9am Eastern = 15 CET -- Check out the new content on Fedora Project page! http://fedoraproject.org From sankarshan.mukhopadhyay at gmail.com Fri Dec 30 03:08:40 2005 From: sankarshan.mukhopadhyay at gmail.com (Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay) Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 08:38:40 +0530 Subject: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] meeting notes fedora ambassadors Dec 29, 22:00 UTC In-Reply-To: <7f617d270512291625t3fbffd60k4d494a4dd6ef0383@mail.gmail.com> References: <7f617d270512291625t3fbffd60k4d494a4dd6ef0383@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <43B4A4B8.3020507@gmail.com> Hi, Alex Maier wrote: > 4 > Feb 8-10, 2006 LinuxAsia 2006 New Delhi India > Rahul has provided a draft presentation under: > http://people.redhat.com/sundaram/Fedora.sxi > Please everyone take a look and give constructive feedback and/or > learn from Rahul (mether) > if we can get shwag flyers cd/dvds etc that would be nice.

As Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay said "thanks for the poking"... I'm gonna talk about Argentina and its culture about Free and Commercial software. There are some people that have prejudice about free software. These people rather than buying the Commercial one, buy a pirate version of it. So, what's the deal with them? You can be shutted down if you get caught using illegal versions of Commercial software. That's why I'm a person that rely on something that people worked on and know that free software can be even more stable than Commercial one. Perhaps, the people down here expect too much or not but they think that having Commercial software legally or not (this is tricky, lol). Anyway... I'm very happy with FC4 and I'll try FC5 when the final release come out. Of course, it's a superb OS. I'm advising to people to download the ISOs or I'm delivering CDs to a small group of friends and stuff. And, of course, I'm trying to change the people that says free software is bad and you can't rely on. I already told them that free doesn't mean bad. Well...
