I want also you to remember a part of the elections rule: "In order to hold an election a minimum number of candidates are necessary. This will be the number of open seats + 25%. If there are 7 seats available, there will need to be at least 9 candidates. If not enough candidates have signed up by the deadline, the election will be held back by one week for more candidates to be nominated. If there are still not enough candidates, the candidates who are present will be voted upon (or merely confirmed if there are less candidates than open seats.)" So actually the candidates are 5, and the total seats are 7 (and it implies that candidates must be 9). I invite everyone who want to nominate to make this today. If tomorrow the minimum number of candidate will not fill, the nomination period will be held back by one week.

One year later when GeroldKassube initiated the first FAD, we have seen the number of FAD attendees doubled. During this last FAD, the attendees volunteered to take responsibilities to lead by example: e.g. * setting new gear to FAMSCo * relaunch online meeting * ... Everyone (FAD attendees) will agree with me that we have covered more discussions (fedora related) that we might have done on IRC.

It is good to see some of the things people have going on. I am sure the face-to-face meetings prove quite productive! I have just a few questions/comments after reading through the materials in the tarball. In the French report there was discussion of their upcoming store and that the merchandise was showed off. The Store SIG has considered spreadshirt.net as a possible source for materials. How was the quality? Did it seem like merchandise that would last? If there were T-shirts there, were they a heavy weight T-shirt? It appears there was also discussion on different vendors for the Store SIG. Which different vendors were discussed? In the German report there was this statement: "Free Media distributions is not needed as everyone has broadband at home. During the events, there are always dvds/cds to spread." Does everyone refer to every household in Germany? Or does it mean every German ambassador has broadband? There was also discussion regarding a fellowship/membership brought up by Gerold and Fabian. I read through the presentation, but could someone post more details regarding the specifics of that program? Who is that program targeted towards? I see the Event Box was also discussed. I am glad to see it had some attention during the meeting. The Event Box page was one I created quite some time ago, so it is nice to see some people pushing forward with it. Just a few comments on some of the discussion you had (keeping in mind my view point is from the United States perspective and might not be entirely applicable to the EMEA) >> i think for small events this would be very useful....for big events like Linuxtag not >> the problem will be the money for this....and the delivery to the locations I actually see the Event Box as being useful for large and small events. The bulk of the box would be items needed to have the very basics for booth setup. A banner, possibly some posters to enhance the booth presence, at least one PC to demonstrate Fedora on, etc. Even at large events these should be useful items and hopefully reduce the amount of time one needs to prep a booth. For larger events the box could certainly be supplemented by materials other Ambassadors in the area have. I agree - the money to get it started is a small stumbling block. I would expect shipping to be reasonable - if we are able to have an event box for each major region. That will hopefully help keep shipping distances down. >> at first we can make a small event box >> with flyers, banners, (t-shirt) goodies, and of course dvds I didn't really see the box as being a way to ship flyers, T-shirts, and DVDs in bulk. These would still be locally produced, as adding all of that to the box increases it's volume and weight - all of which will increase the shipping costs. The box would hold items to help get the booth up and running. The swag and goodies would be locally produced - which will hopefully be easier as the Store SIG moves forward. >> i'm suggesting every country have their own eventbox whch they make themselves to use >> among them .. with the international eventbox as a compliment to it >> KageSenshi, what you say is correct, the problem is that a country event box is > > usefull only for country with more than 5 ambassadors I see it more regional and probably larger regions at that. I think the trick is to find the number of event boxes that are affordable to create initially while balancing the impact of shipping costs. Regarding expendable items, yes I included them in the list. A lot of these are covered in Fabian's personal event box, which is great! We do something similar here, one of our guys brings all of the misc. items to our events and we are pretty much prepared for anything. At the last event we were pretty well prepared and loaned materials to the booth to our left and right. I do think the items have a place in the larger event box though - it just makes things easier. As for who provides them, I know in our case if we are able to get the box to come to be reality I would have no issue spending the small amount of money to throw those items into the event box for our region. It's less than $25 USD worth of items. Again, sounds like you folks had great discussions. Thanks again Chitlesh for sending the notes to the list. --Jeffrey From jsimon at fedoraproject.org Mon Dec 3 10:10:27 2007 From: jsimon at fedoraproject.org (JoergSimon) Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 11:10:27 +0100 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAD2007 meeting minutes In-Reply-To: <10e0a9b00712021745w41147d55nab91cd3818ba57fe@mail.gmail.com> References: <50baabb30712021558n8a9c5afg6ebc599f865cff5c@mail.gmail.com> <10e0a9b00712021745w41147d55nab91cd3818ba57fe@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <200712031110.32117.jsimon@fedoraproject.org> Am Montag, 3.

FreeMedia and spread CD/DVD on events have different goals. In my opinion FreeMedia is for people who dont have a chance to get Fedora over other channels - mostly they really want Fedora. On events, the goal is bring people to use/try Fedora. And they who want the CD/DVD, want it because they like the Artwork or are to lazy to download and burn Fedora. > Does everyone refer to every household in Germany? Surely not - round about 70% of all households (destat) - but the barrier to get Fedora is low(free Broadband in Libraries). With more of 5 events in Germany i can say - yes we need CD/DVD on events - but if we must produce them localy then we must sell them and then the people will not pay 1 ? - for the DVD. So the marketing effect with dvd?s is gone. I look forward to see how LiveCD will work on events this year. Thanks for the feedback!

I think i can speak for the german speaking Countries Swiss, Austria, Germany and here we cover the needs very good. You must reconsider, in Europe nearly every country had his own power plugs - keyboards - languages ... We will produce generic Fedora Posters printed on rubberfoil (is this the right word?) for longer lifecycles for Europe - i will contact Artwork after my vacations with this. Primary for me the EventBox should be a mindset of average with events, who has Material that i can need or can produce it for me and how i have events with good effects. For example mostly we in Europe have established blue Poloshirts on booth?s (http://jsimon.fedorapeople.org/lt07) so we have now a identity with it! > I agree - the money to get it started is a small stumbling block.

When I started working at my current employer about 1.5 years ago, everything there was running SuSE Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server. And my workstation got the brand-new SuSE Linux 10.1 on it, too. Then the time for new mailservers came as we're a webhosting provider also offering e-mail services. In the end, CentOS 5.0 won the comparison of the different Enterprise Linux distributions - mostly because of the financial aspect. During the installation of these machines, it was a real progress to see, that own repositories can be made and Fedora packages can be taken and rebuilt for CentOS to use them there. As I'm a Fedora Packager as well, I know how to do such things of course. I started maintaining many of the packages in EPEL we first tried in our own repository. Some packages are still not in EPEL, because they somehow conflict with the guidelines, but that doesn't matter for us. Maybe the upcoming RPM Fusion (the sucessor of Livna others) will solve these things then. With the time, it was recognized, that CentOS is just good. It has packages we need, it works, it has long term support and it has a nice price. On the other hand, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server started sucking. Xen as delivered with SLES 10 SP1 isn't that Enterprise ready as Novell told some years ago. The biggest problem was, that the latest YaST Online Update brought "fixes" which caused xen-vm-install, the command line utility to create new virtual machines on SLES, to fail. Unfortunately we were not able to switch back, because the updated package also contained other fixes, we really needed. I tried to inform Novell about this programming bug (a typical python error); but they just told me, that with the update subscription, we only have, we can't report such things without opening a paid ticket. Wow! Paying money for reporting bugs they introduced by a lack of QA? In the end, a very nice guy from the Security Team took the issue and forwarded it internally to the Xen team (if somebody is interested, it's Novell Bugzilla ID #336779). The nearly 2 month old bug is still not fixed, because of the wrong support level we bought. As far as I know, the price for extending the support for this special case is more expensive rather buying two new SLES packages. In the mean time, we tried CentOS at some customers and it worked like a charme: EPEL, CentOS Plus and our own repository. In the end, I had to work around that Xen bug by rebuilding python-virtinst from CentOS on the SLES system to get the ability back to create virtual machines without X by an easy way - it just works perfect. It was the first time, nobody answered my e-mail on the SLES mailing list after describing the technical details for this workaround. CentOS provides at least for us the same or better quality as Novell does with SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, but for free. Of course, CentOS is "only" a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but if there will be a heavy critical system, I'm sure, we'll buy a RHEL with subscription. On the other hand, not buying always a RHEL package/subscription gives us the possibility to donate the money we save in parts or in whole to the CentOS or Fedora Project to improve their work and quality further on. And this also possibly increases the quality of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (in the case when the donation goes to the Fedora Project, CentOS mostly needs money for their infrastructure, not for developing bleeding edge stuff). Please notice, that we're a tiny company having a couple of customers, so we don't talk about hundreds or thousands of CentOS installations. Let us see, how many years we will need to achieve the (our) first hundred CentOS installations at all. Why I'm talking so much about CentOS here, even it's a Fedora list? Well... CentOS comes from Red Hat Enterprise Linux and that comes from Fedora. But to have some real Fedora success, too: My two managers installed their new laptops with Fedora 8 with encrypted root and swap partitions. Setting this up is a bit tricky, because it isn't supported by Fedora per default, but the patches available in Red Hat Bugzilla are great work. The NVIDIA driver comes from Livna, suspend to RAM and to disk works (even with the encrypted partitions) and they seem to be happy - at least for now ;-) Once we re-setup our workstations, Fedora will reach them as well, because from my point of view, Fedora is more made for workstations, desktop and development systems. The life cycle is just too short for systems needing update support without changing the base and core of a operating system such drastically as Fedora does. Bleeding edge is okay and needed, but for example our Enterprise Ressource Planning system doesn't like it to get the whole environment changed every 6 or 13 months. Note, that I never did guerilla marketing. I lived silently with the non- Fedora systems and in the end, CentOS really proved itself by fullfilling the needs, we weren't completely aware of. And when saying (or writing) that it proved itself, you've to mention, that such big decisions are made by my managers and not by me. Showing what a Fedora (or CentOS) is able to do the things was in our case the perfect way - of course it was helpful, that I've got knowledge of Fedora Packaging for the special things...

At foss. in event Rahul Sundaram talked about Freedom to fork as well. The title of the talk was "freedom is a feature" and it delivered the message to the attendees that Fedora features freedom. Reference - http://foss.in/2007/register/speakers/talkdetailspub.php?talkid=303 There was also a story on Slashdot recently in which people discussed why RH is tolerating CentOS. Many of them agreed that RH does not look at CentOS as a competitor at all. As a Fedora ambassador I don't think I should refrain from recommending CentOS for those who can't afford RHEL. -- Thanks and regards, Sudheer Satyanarayana http://binaryvibes.co.in From christoph.wickert at nurfuerspam.de Sat Dec 8 11:39:02 2007 From: christoph.wickert at nurfuerspam.de (Christoph Wickert) Date: Sat, 08 Dec 2007 12:39:02 +0100 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAD/EMEA 2007 Results?

Two days (48 hours) after the completion of the nomination period, the voting period will open and continue for one week." This rule presupposes that voting can take place immediately after the nomination period, which is not possible with the current voting infrastructure being single-threaded. Since we are making an exception to this rule on the time of voting, perhaps this is a time to make an exception on the self-nomination period as well.

AlexMaier created a long time ago the Event Organizers' Resources [4]. But there was no more effort since then. I have started a rework of this page.

Keeping the Event Organizer page up to date will help ease the planning and preparation for an event. Thanks!

Please note that you will receive a copy soon -which I know is open to interpretation, so as soon as Gerold and myself get the Statutes aligned with any requirements set forth in German law-, at which I would like you to fire any comments or suggestions. Please also note that German law requires the voting for or against these Statutes, as well as the Board election, takes place in person, face-to-face, and that the group of attendees at the Fedora Ambassadors Day in Basel recently decided to cast the vote on FOSDEM 2008. To all Ambassadors interested in voting for or against the Statutes, running for a position on the Board or interested in casting their vote in the Board elections, I would like to emphasize they will need to attend FOSDEM 2008, February 23-24th 2008, Brussel, in person. I would like to stress the fact that the latter is non-negotiable.

Let me do a little review over the past 12 months. Ambassador Membership Today we have 283 ambassadors in 59 countries [1]. Africa : 16 America : 107 Asia : 97 Europe : 89 Oceania : 5 Unfortunately there are still a lot of potential ambassadors how have not sign the CLA yet [2]. Every month some new ambassadors joined us. That's great. Events We covered almost 60 events [3] during 2007. This means that Fedora Ambassadors were present ordinary every week at an event somewhere. I believe that we are going to cover the same amount of events in 2008 when we will go on with the same effort. Add your events to this page [4]. Freemedia Thomas, Karlie, and many many others (sorry for not naming everyone) shipped in the name of the Freemedia Program over 1000 DVDs to people how wanted to have a Fedora Install Media and can't pay for it. Thank you guys for spending your time (and money) to fulfill all this requests. Meetings After a break with our weekly meetings at the end of October, we restarted with monthly meetings [5] in December. So far my feelings about the new meetings are mixed. There are still some annoyances we have to fix. I hope that the meetings will bring the ambassadors more together and that the exchange will improve our work as ambassadors in the future. The co-leadership issue is NOT solved right now and we are still looking for a contributor to lead the APAC area...please, if you are willing to support the meeting leader sign up as a co-leader or as a leader for APAC. Thanks in advance. - Ambassadors Meeting EMEA - 2007-12-12 IRC log : https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2007-December/msg00043.html Summary : https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2007-December/msg000 FAD The Fedora Ambassador Day was held twice in EMEA, one was at Berlin in front of LinuxTag [6], the other at Rheinfelden at the end of November [7]. Both events were a success. A lot of stuff were discussed in a friendly and constructive atmosphere. I can only suggest to have FADs all over the world because they are more effective and personal than communication with IRC or mailing list. Some points we discussed at the latest FAD - Preparation of the the events in 2008 - NPO in Europe (easier for Sponsoring, legal stuff and taxes) - Fedora Membership/Fellowship - EventBox The next FAD will be hold before LinuxTag 2008 [9] at Berlin. European NPO JeroenVanMeeuwen translated the initial version, GeroldKassube translated the "goals" from into German and sent the letter to the financial department to check out if the goals are good enough for the german law to be confirmed as "allgemeinn?tzig" which is related to pay taxes or not. Everybody will get the opportunity to see the statutes when they are ready. The name will be Fedora EMEA (it has been agreed upon by MaxSpevack). It aligns with another NPO initiative JeroenVanMeeuwen is involved with in the USA, as well as with "Fedora Project" being the official project itself. FAMSCo The Steering Committee was not so loud this year [9]. After the release of Fedora 8 has tobe an election for the next 2 release cycle. The Nominations were: AlejandroMoncada, FrancescoUgolini, JeffreyTadlock, JohnBabich, PabloBarrera, RodrigoPadula, SandroMathys, MukulDharwadkar, and myself [10]. The voting period will start in January 2008 because first is the election of the Docs Steering Committee members. By the way, FAMSCo Election 2007 Nomination is open until Dec 28th. Kind regards, merry Christmas, and happy new year.

I'm a 28 year old systems architect from Jersey City, NJ. Mostly during my work life I work with very high-end production systems, all running RHEL. At home, I use Fedora for my desktop, and try to advocate other people to do it. I'm an RHCE [1] who's actively working on RHCA. I attend at least two events every months (NYLUG [2] and the New York Linux Meetup [3]). There are others that I would get involved with as I get time and am informed of them. At these events, I try to advocate Fedora to the extent that I can. I may attempt to put together a Fedora talk for NYLUG, however, I'm not all that sure of what they want to hear about (probably new features in F8/9, etc). Let me know if there is other advocacy that I can do within the NYC area.

You can inform a Linux-savvy group like a LUG on howFedora is a great community distro in its own right and how it helps to improve every distro by upstream contributions.

For all who don't know me in person a small introduction. My Name is Andreas Rau and I am living at Karlsruhe (Germany) and work at Basel (Switzerland). I startet my work with Fedora as an Ambassador since about 2006. The past events I have been for Fedora are FAD EMEA 2006, FAD LinuxTag 2007, LinuxTag 2007, FUDCon LinuxTag 2007 and FAD EMEA 2007. In the meantime I worked as System/Networkadministrator for an bigger erp software company. So I can say I know the difference between the different Distris in private and in business. At the moment I work mainly on Cisco doing networking at the University Basel. I hope I am a nice, peaceful and folksy (hope this fits) person. I esteem teamwork and know that big targets can only reached by acting in concert. I think this is enought - acctually I only wanted to wish a nice christmas event and a happy new year to ALL of you .. but I haven't send an introduction until now - sorry for being late now you know - I am existing in person ;) Greetz/kind regards/el saludo Andreas Rau Ambassador (Germany) Skype: MacWarth Yahoo: bop80medic msn: don't know yet - long time ago ---------------------------------------------------------------- Am Samstag, den 22.12.2007, 23:39 +0100 schrieb Fabian Affolter: > Hi all, > > The year 2007 is almost over and the ambassadors have done a lot of > things to promote Fedora all over the world.

If there is one thing that is becoming obvious to me, it is Fedora's attack on Ubuntu." As the guy working on the games spin, I never thought of spins as an attack on anything (and I doubt anyone did) but facilitating a targeted experience based on Fedora. Anyway it is a interesting view and we sure seemed to have improved our public perception. Good for us.

I know that there are various desktop spins (GNOME, KDE, XFCE), but nothing targeted to various user segments like a Fedora spin that I'm aware of.

No, not officially which is one of the reasons why I find that quote pretty odd. Rahul Ps: You should get your blog on Planet Fedora. Refer http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Planet.
