This also includes Kinkos and Staples. One thing interesting to point out regarding the last two is that they have evening hours which may be convenient for you. However, I have been running into problems finding any shops who can use the SVG files. Currently I am looking into converting the SVG files into JPEGS that are the same size as the end media that I will be printing. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Jason aka, Axelilly Catch me on gchat or Jabber =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

ICQ: 2125241, Skype: valent.turkovic From mspevack at redhat.com Wed Apr 2 00:49:30 2008 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2008 20:49:30 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] Budget April 1 - May 31 Message-ID: Hi there Ambassadors: Let's talk about how budget is going to be allocated for Ambassadors, events, and media for the next 2 months. ---- KEY ITEM #1 TO UNDERSTAND: Red Hat's fiscal year 2009 begins on March 1, 2008. It ends on February 28, 2009. From a budget point of view, it is divided into four quarters: * Q1: March 1 - May 31 * Q2: June 1 - August 31 * Q3: September 1 - November 30 * Q4: December 1 - February 28 During each of these quarters, we start with a $12,000 USD budget for "global events and swag". This number can be tweaked a little bit, but for planning purposes we should keep that number in mind. If we don't spend the money, it disappears at the end of the quarter. ---- KEY ITEM #2 TO UNDERSTAND: Certain events have been given "special priority" and allocated a separate budget from the $12,000 USD general fund. For the current year, these events are: FISL (Brazil -- April) LinuxTag (Berlin -- May) FUDCon (Boston -- June) FUDCon (Somewhere in Europe -- September or October) FUDCon (LCA in Australia -- January) FOSDEM (Brussels -- February) ---- Q1 (March 1 - May 31) We have already spent about $2,800 for various events, including FOSDEM, an OLPC for EMEA, NOTACON, and some leftover FOSS.in expenses. This means that we have about $9,000 left to allocate. Looking at the events page, there are 2 events in North America that we still need to support, 4 events in South America, and somewhere between 1-3 events in Europe. That is one consideration. A second consideration is that in May, we will need to produce CDs, DVDs, and USB keys for Fedora 9, for use at events, and possibly for supporting the Free Media project (which we have done in the past). ---- DECISIONS THAT WE MUST MAKE: How can we allocate money to organizers in regions, and allow them to prioritize their own shows? Rather than having FAMSCo decide an exact $ amount for each show, it's better to give a lump sum of money to the organizers in each region, and let them divide it up. How do we make sure that our limited resources can allow people in all regions to be successful? Where can we use money set aside for the "large events" to help with smaller events in the region. For example, a lot of money is being spent to produce various media and swag for FISL. It seems reasonable to think that extra could be produced, or that there will be leftover, that can be used at other shows in South America. The same idea applies for LinuxTag. ---- Here is what I would like to do: For each region: 1) Identify a "media production person" who will be responsible for taking the Fedora Art Team's designs and finding the BEST PRICE POSSIBLE to create LiveCDs, DVDs, or USB keys in that region. Then be responsible for getting that swag to the events where it is needed. In North America, I have been this person. I'll do it again for Fedora 9, but that will probably be the last time, since I'm going to be in EMEA soon. 2) Identify a Red Hat contact (or contacts) in each region who might be able to help with local office funding for swag. It never hurts to ask. 3) Figure out a general breakdown of funds for each region, and that allows the local Ambassadors to figure out how to support each event and the need for swag/media to share across events. ---- A FIRST DRAFT: North America -- $2,500 South America -- $2,000 Europe -- $1,500 Asia -- $3,000 This should allow us to support the shows that are listed on the Fedora Events page for the rest of Q1, and also give local Ambassadors freedom between swag, an initial batch of media, etc. ---- Your thoughts and comments are encouraged. From mspevack at redhat.com Wed Apr 2 01:01:55 2008 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2008 21:01:55 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] Budget June 1 - August 31 Message-ID: The previous email lays out the context around which we are doing our budgeting for Ambassadors. Let's talk now about Q2 of this year -- June 1 - August 31. Again, we have $12,000 USD to spread around for "global events and swag". ---- KEY ITEM #1: FAMSCo has decided that the FedoraEvents page on the wiki will "freeze" 1 month early (on May 1), and the events that are listed on the page and *have an organizer/accountable ambassador* will receive funding. The "special" event in Q2 that has its own separate funding is FUDCon Boston, so we can ignore that from a budget perspective. Current status (with 1 month left before deadline): North America 3 events with owners (OSCON, LinuxWorld SF, UTOSC) 1 event that needs an owner (Ottawa Linux Symposium) South America 1 event with owner (CESOL) Europe 1 event with owner (RMLL) 2 events that need owners (LUG Radio Live, FrOSCon) Asia No events In addition to those events, we also need to continue to set aside money for local regions to produce additional Fedora 9 media and swag. So, let's start filling out the event roster for Q2. --Max From fzied at dottn.com Wed Apr 2 06:33:59 2008 From: fzied at dottn.com (Zied Fakhfakh) Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2008 08:33:59 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Budget April 1 - May 31 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi, There's no Africa, and I understand why, we did not comit any event for this quarter.

It should be easy to keep track of the what events need what resources for a regional materials manager do to how the Events page is already laid out. One thing I'd like to see some more clarification on though is: 1) What guidelines would this regional materials manager determine how much media to have created for each release? 2) What guidelines would be used by this person to determine how much funding each event in his/her area should receive? -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Jason aka, Axelilly Catch me on gchat or Jabber =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Most of them are well know events (LinuxWorld SF, Oscon) and, surfing the next, i found interesting information about the other events.

For my perspective 500$ is ok. If we count another event, maybe two, before the deadline, i think 1000$ could be ok for South America. > Europe > 1 event with owner (RMLL) > 2 events that need owners (LUG Radio Live, FrOSCon) If we will able to find the 2, missing, event owners i think 2000$ for EMEA could be ok.

I have not idea how much could media/swag production cost (globally). That's my personal prevision, according to event sites, fedora events wiki and number of people attending those events.

Nicu worked on two themes: - Cork board with post-it notes http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/artwork/wall/corkboard.png (source http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/artwork/wall/corkboard.svg) - Speech one http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/artwork/wall/voice.png (source http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/artwork/wall/voice.svg) I think these are marvelous. Those posters will be used during events and FUDCONs to promote Ambassadors Project and, generally, the community side of Fedora Project. This is only the first step, i invite all Ambassadors, who haven't done yet, to add their thoughts in the Fedora Ambassadors Wall page (see above for the address) so that we will able to make other ones.

It never hurts to ask. Max, as already said, in the past two years we have produced media in Munich. So, I would like to volunteer for being the Contact into Red Hat and probably can also take the ownership for the organization of media production and deployment. I will dig out who funded these efforts in the past. Will come up with that next week since Marketing is in Malaga for the Partner Summit.

Reasons, are not around this wonderfull community, the distro or differences with my friends around Fedora. I have two years of Happiness bringing Fedora around my country and Brazil too, making great Friends as Rodrigo Padula, and great persons like David Barzilay and all the others, including a special personal greetings to Gomix, the leader of Fedora Venezuela, and all others around. The main reason, is a big difference of point of view with Red Hat Argentina Managers. I will not talk about this. Would not be appropiate to do that. The only thing that i will say is: when you have differences around a project, project must not be stopped in order to have differente opinions, So Red Hat Argentina and I have the opposite opinion about the funds, the activities and budget.So, cause i am just a person, i will let my posistion when FISL is concluded. I will travel anyway to POA ( if Red Hat doesnt cancell my tickets) to make my last presentation as Ambassador. I will leave the responsability to something real special and advocate to Fedora, this person is Javier Gabriel from Santa Fe Province. He has the "young fire" that the project locally need to managed the spread of voice of fedora. Anyway, theres three more ambassadors in activity, so when i started to work on the project theres no ambassadors in "real" activity, so this is for me a nice blend. When I looked behind, i see a lot of wonderful things that this project gave to me. The possibility to know a lot of people more intelligent, capable and smart than me and i could learn a lot of them. I think that the most important persons that latin america has is Rodrigo Padula and Gomix. Thank you to all to give me possibility to be postulated to famsco and make possible be part of this wonderful and nice community. Thanks to Tomas Chung from bring me CDs :), and Thanks to Francesco Ugolini, for his support in some "dark hour" against me of some stupid people of my country. The only thing that i can say is : Thanks... As we say with Rodrigo: Fedorize yourself!!!

Fedora Event Budget 2. F9 Release Party Planning 3. Wiki (both delegate and cleanup) status i think we have a lot of issues to discuss so starting from the 1st one i think we should let spevack go first, i think he has to leave early. 1. Fedora Event Budget well, this is my topic iWolf: yep, is what i want to do so i guess the first question is did you see the email I sent to famsco-list a little bit ago * iWolf nods and second is are there any comments on that email or the ones i sent to ambassadors-list earlier in the week? I feel like we are doing a pretty fair job of distributing funds around the globe ! ! ok, first of all MrTom i'd like to add that it seems we'll have both attendees for the Worlwide FOSS Meeting in France during July (abt 3000 visitors) it is during Q2 I don't know if Max still has coins for this or not :) eof MrTom: unfortunately, i don't think I'll be able to make it to that event. I will be in the US for FUDCon and staying for a little while afterward... but that is separate from money for the event which we certainly have when is this event exactly? For Q2 events, the policy is "we can fund the event if it is on the FedoraEvents page with an owner by May 1" because May 1 is 1 month before the start of Q2 MrTom: does that all make sense? kanarip: first week of July, mid-week yes max thanks i'll add it from 1st jyly to 5th right in Mont de Marsant (near Spain border) Max, i have a question for you the website : http://2008.rmll.info/ fugolini: sure about the mail you sent in the Ambs list my email to ambassadors-list about the *current* quarter had several responses about the Q3, if i'm not worng my email about planning for *next quarter* had none :) what's your question francesco? you ask for partecipation, but what kind of partecipation do you want? The owners partecipation or a global one? because i have made a personal prevision but i think it isn't a good one fugolini: i don't understand what you mean, i'm sorry just because i don't know what each owner has in its mind ok The q3 mail is intended for all ambassadors or only for event owners/attendees? Anyone! Because every ambassador is a *potential* event owner because, for my perspective, i could only forsee the budget prevision looking at some sites, past events etc... I think ultimately FAMSCO must decide how to make sure budget is fair but I want every ambassador to have a chance to sign up to run an event i think we agree on this... maybe i am just not saying it the right way? ah, this is only for sign up purpose The job of all ambassadors is to sign up for as many events as they want to be accountable for. the job of FAMSCO is to then figure out how to support those events right? yes, this week is really difficult for me :) spevack: +1 fugolini: no problem :) you can go on ... well, that's about all I have to say right now. I've got my proposal in the email for more specific questions. I am concerned that no one seemed to pay attention to the "May 1 deadline for Q2 events" email. but i can send another one that is shorter and more to the point :) the Events page is already filling up pretty well well it's up to event owners to pay attention and add themselves to the page before May 1 deadline a reminder though with the May 1st point and a link to the more lengthy email is reasonable though. what may be more important in that aspect is that if they have events but we don't know about it, we may not get any metrics or feedback from those events maybe even a blog post for folks paying more attention to those. yea, i think so well, let me be honest with you all I have been playing with numbers in my head all day and I think we are in decent shape for the rest of Q1 (I am a little bit worried about the costs of CDs, DVDs, and USBs) particularly because USBs are just really expensive. Even if we get them for $5 each, that's still the same as 4 DVDs and I think we'll be fine for Q2 -- it's still a month away, people won't fill things in until the last minute but I think that overall we are figuring out processes that will allow us to serve our community better this year than last year USB !== swag, right? and we need to be really open about asking the community for feedback kanarip: unfortunately, anything tangible is considered swag CD, USB, DVD if we have to pay for it, it's swag :) ohw ok now, for example, stuff @ LinuxTag comes out of the LT budget same with FUDCon during our board meeting we considered anything that we sell merchandise instead of swag just to make the distinction the large shows have budget to support themselves with swag my worry is running out of swag to support the smaller shows i'm not sure we'd get our money's worth from USB keys. which is why I like the idea of having money for "regional smaller shows" pooled together in the hands of 2 or 3 responsible folks (like Fedora EMEA) so they can coordinate swag in one order for smaller shows does what I'm saying make sense? yes, very much * spevack worries he's not explaining himself well ok yes ok for me iWolf: i worry about the USBs too. It would be really cool, but without *selling* them back, it seems too costly to just give away spevack: i think it could be a great idea I think that we need to advertise at every event that if people show up with a USB key, we'll turn it into Fedora for them. spevack: that's my thoughts. people will take a USB key, wipe fedora off of it and use it for whatever, just to get the free USB key. iWolf: if what i'm thinking too ok FAMSCo, so should I just continue to operate the way I have been with the budget stuff? *is spevack, +1 spevack: yes, spevack: i'm fine with how it has been handled so far. so, +1 but i'm not FAMSCo ;-) do you guys feel like you have enough consultation and input in the matter? I don't want you to feel like I'm just making the decisions myself kanarip: maybe not, but I respect your opinion ;) thanks ;-) spevack: i think the guidelines are perfect spevack: i like to see the things hit the famsco list, i think most of us have been fine with how it gets distributed, but the "transparency" of the list helps us figure out how it flows. if that makes sense. we could, as you know, work on the list on simple issue like USB etc... iWolf: yeah, i'll keep posting lots of stuff to the list. these things only make sense when you can actually look at numbers fugolini: i feel like, for example, if we hand a certain region, or a certain event $x for their show, and they want to spend it all on USBs, that's their choice. And depending on how well that choice turns out, it will impact what happens next time they ask for money :) it's a learning process for everyone, is my view. we have to try new things from time to time, but we also need to try to get good value for our money ok, that's about all I have on budget stuff right now. i'm just thinking (sorry but i'm mind lagged today) to make a deep discussion in list because, for my point of view, is really difficult to work on live streming but as i said a lot of time i think you have the capacities to make this work and it's a luck to have you here we'll continue all the discussions on the list. thanks francesco I feel like the CFO of Fedora ;) chief financial officer? When I was the CEO of Fedora, I had no money. Now Paul's the CEO, but I have all the money! :D lol hehe :-) so that's why you're relocating now i get it! what i want to see from ambassadors are feedbacks we had some good feedback, like the people who were asking about an event in Africa. just to know what they are thinking about it which I am happy to support, if it has someone to organize it. but many times some countries seems invisible in the list personally i want to see a great global partecipation and for budget issues i think they are important eof we have people from tunisia within the French org Can we move one? +1 2. F9 Release Party Planning iWolf * spevack will have to go soon, sorry. I posted the irc notes from the marketing meeting to the list yesterday. i would like to finalize a release party organization page with the ideas, suggestions for locations to hold them, and then really push with mailing list posts, blog posts etc, to get people organizing them. so hopefully by early next week start the campaign to get ambassadors throwing some release parties. any thoughts on that? timeline or otherwise? oh, and remind people to put the parties on the events calendary, as fugolini said, if there are too many we can shuffle them to their own page. mh Is the plan complete? i try to explain we have ideas posted to your wiki page. With all the ideas is possible to have a complete event set up ? yeah, i think we have enough ideas to help give an ambassador a solid start on what it takes to throw a party. has anyone seen Ubuntu's planning page? we can announce the release event trought fedora announce [22:01] hey jeroen [22:01] fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Agenda ops bad pasting https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty i saw it some time ago you gave me the link ah, cool! as you said before i think sometimes ambs is not so read >Publicise It that's the point like you said i want to know from all famsco members and ambassadors could you meet other ambassadors from other cities etc? is that a question for me? for famsco and ambassadors you too :) :) i want to create a global network of social relations like in europe to better coordinate ourselves and make important issue like release events better promoted eof ping pong pong ok have you questions? not for me sorry today is a queite strange meeting 3. Wiki (both delegate and cleanup) status ! fabian_a: sooner or later we move on to mediawiki. shall we still go on with the clean-up or did it when we switch? eof I would move on with the clean-up. relatively soon -- probably not long after the F9 release -- and that is why it is good to get the cleanup done before, so that we don't waste time migrating pages that will just be thrown away later spevack: +1 for the clean up porcess we need to review famsco pages ! and we have to start working on contents updates i have some paper schemes MrTom: i removed many many french related meeting pages and we are now discussing on the Fr ml were could list have the remaining events great and there is a query from our group it seems, a page where to set in stones the past events, a king of memories, if people are looking for a contact who was attending at those events for exampls i don't know yet if this exists or not we have a past event archive, if i'm not wrong http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/PastEvents/ oh that simple... thanks :) * fugolini will never use past function ... * fugolini *paste Sorry if this week i could be available to finish the work but i have some, not calculated, problems but we have only few pages missing i promised last week to finish the work before the past sunday, but it didn't happen, sorry no worries - we all have $dayjobs and studies fabian_a: i don't understand the infrastucture delegate task? *-? could you explain us ( i read something in the mktg list) *to us so far, it's about being the first point of contact i guess that the rest will be defined in the near future ok i added your task in the agenda so we could have a current tasks list Questions? not from me. now i want to closed past issue Event Reporting Guidelines Define Fedora Event Budget criterias FAmSCo position Event Reporting Guidelines | Define Fedora Event Budget criterias | FAmSCo position for the criterias i think we are ok now because mac *max has to send us only the scheme i think we can just put to the first two task the last meeting date and for the last one the 3rd meeting (i think) it's ok? ok :) sounds good to me, we might want to keep a recurring budget/event item, just so we cover upcoming events/budget each meeting. but those specific tasks you listed are done, i think. Fedora Event Budget is ok? yeah, that is enough to make sure we touch base on it each meeting. * iWolf needs to leave in a couple of minutes. yea, we have finished i was waiting your opinion about the last issue *famsco i think if anyone has to move objection we can adjourn the meeting 3 2 1 == meeting adjourned == From thomas.canniot at mrtomlinux.org Sun Apr 6 07:33:34 2008 From: thomas.canniot at mrtomlinux.org (Thomas Canniot) Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2008 09:33:34 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] REMINDER French Meeting today 1830 #fedora-meeting Message-ID: <20080406093335.3270a0ad@agnetha.mrtomlinux> This mail is a reminder for today?s meeting for French ambassadors and _every_ interested people. 2008-04-60 / 18:30 UTC IRC: freenode #fedora-meeting Ce mail est un rappel pour la r?union des ambassadeurs francophones, qui aura lieu ce dimanche (06 avril) ? 20h30 heure de Paris sur IRC (freenode) #fedora-meeting .

During March I added the new ambassadors by hand to the statistics page [1]. That's not the way we want to go...Francesco Crippa made a python script [2] to count the members of the Fedora Ambassadors Project. His idea was to collect the diffs of the Country List page [3]. Unfortunately this page is updated manually and because of that not very reliable. IMHO the better way is to get the data from the several category pages (for example CategoryAmbassadorsFrance). The personal wiki pages of the ambassadors are often more up-to-date because Thomas Chung add the category after verification. My script is quite simple and at the moment just a working prototype. There is a list of countries. With this list the script will get all links from the category pages (incl. the wiki names), then do some work with regex and print out a number. This number is the count of all ambassadors in the selected countries. Download the script and improve it [4]. If you are a python pro feel free to tell me what I can do better in this script. Any kind of suggestions are welcome. Maybe I will expand this script in the future. I would like to have a log function (writing the data to a file with time and data), selection of the area through user input, and some other small thing like error handling and a test if the the script got all data form the Fedora wiki. At the moment with moinmoin it's a pain and there have to be more than one run to get all the data, 502 Proxy Error...sooner or later everything will be fine with mediawiki. Send your ideas for more extensions and code snippets to me ;-) If you want to help us to collect more and detailed data for metrics and statistics about the Ambassadors Project step up. FAmSco will appreciate your work because this ways we (or better Max) can ensure that we get money for the promotion of Fedora from RH. Thanks in advance.

Send your ideas for more extensions and code snippets to me ;-) Automation is a great thing. I am thinking we should take another direction with this though. Screen scraping is apt to be unreliable and much more likely to be affected by changes than something that we run against FAS2 itself. FAS2 should have the information as to whether a person is in the Ambassador group and have country information. We can take the screen scraping and turn it all into DB queries to get the results we want. It could possibly be broadened in scope and applied to more groups than just the Ambassadors - that would allow other groups to see how their membership is distributed regionally. I would not think we would run into privacy issues if we only return the country. We all know infrastructure is a busy team, but I would think we could get the schema layout and then work up a script or module for FAS2. Then let an infrastructure team dev review the work and figure out how best to plug it into an automated job or as a component to FAS2. I think what you have done so far is great work, I would just consider trying to use the database that contains the information we need rather than need to rely on screen scraping the wiki.

We could work with the approval date and the country information of every member. But somebody have to do it. As long as there is no effort I was only searching for a possibility to make my life easier. I remembered that in February we have had a big discussion about metrics and statistics. We have a big difference between the data in the FAS2 and the statistics page. FAS2 347 approved *) Stats page 363 *) this is the same count as at the verification page > FAS2 should have the information as to whether a person is in the > Ambassador group and have country information. We can take the screen > scraping and turn it all into DB queries to get the results we want. Inside FAS2 is all stuff we need, we just have to pull it out. And generate some nice graphics. > It could possibly be broadened in scope and applied to more groups > than just the Ambassadors - that would allow other groups to see how > their membership is distributed regionally. I would not think we > would run into privacy issues if we only return the country. I guess that if the Ambassadors Project will have such a possibility to collect the data about the contributor, other parts will follow.

Now it is time to organize your Fedora 9 Release Party! Organizing a release party in your local area is a great way to contribute as an ambassador. Even if you have never organized an event before, this is your chance! To help with planning a Release Party we have created a Release Party Planning page here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/ReleaseEvents The page covers a suggested plan for when to schedule a release party, possible locations to hold one at and ideas of what to do at a release party. The page is just a list of suggestions - feel free to be creative! So plan your party and add it to the Fedora Events page [1]. If you have questions or need some help with planning your party feel free to post to the Ambassadors mailing list or contact a FAmSCo member [2] directly. Let's see how many Release Parties we can hold globally within the first two weeks of the release date! ~Jeffrey [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee From nayyares at gmail.com Thu Apr 10 06:22:45 2008 From: nayyares at gmail.com (Nayyar Ahmad) Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:22:45 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora is the new ubuntu Message-ID: <8e1ee2a30804092322lfb9d87as39abd4cb6145bef3@mail.gmail.com> Hi, "Fedora finally seems to be turning into a real community project, rather than a simple testing-ground for RHEL.

I have seen how apt-get and yum work on my machine and to me ti seams that apt-get is not much faster than yum, maybe slightly - but I see a major difference in speed when dep and rpm packages are installed - and dep leaves rpm in dust! It is easily twice faster to update and install packages on Debina based distros than on Red Hat based ones. I believe that is not because yum is slow but because rpm packages are slow to install and upgrade compared to deb ones.

It seems you have found the Ambassadors Meeting page [1]. Please keep that page up to date as you determine the meeting date and time so that others that miss this email thread can reference it. It is also useful for tracking an agenda for the meeting. As you start to get things organized, remember you can contact FAmSCo [2] for any assistance you may need - from initial organization questions to budgeting for an event.

Hi Jeffrey, Thanks. It will be nice if someone from FAmsCo can be present at the meeting. So it would be easier to follow up the discussions with action. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SusmitShannigrahi ============================================= From thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com Sun Apr 13 13:20:31 2008 From: thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com (susmit shannigrahi) Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 18:50:31 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] [fedora-India] May we have a meeting?

This is correct. RPM allows file based dependencies which means you have to process lot more metadata. This gives you (or atleast the software package maintainers) more flexibility at a marginal expense of speed.

So far we are going to meet at 14.00 (local time, that's 2pm) at the east entrance of Messe Berlin (I guess that there is still a parking zone where Joerg can place his car). The date is Tuesday, May 27th 2007 because the booth has to be setup before the event start. Please sign yourself up at the "Booth Setup" page [2] for LinuxTag 2008.

I'd like to get some advices, comments, feedbacks, suggestions, etc from those who've been more experienced in organizing Fedora events. Here's my plan for the Fedora 9 Release Party at California State University, Los Angeles: 1. Time, Date, and Place Time: 12:00 pm - 5:30 pm Date: Friday, May 9, 2008 Location: California State University, Los Angeles Building: College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology Room: E&T A220 2. Marketing Materials - Fedora 9 Banners: Print these on this Friday at Kinko's like this and post it around campus next week. I'm going to look for some design from the Media Arts team. - Fliers: To be given out and put on all around campus, the fliers should have the design design of the Fedora 9 coming up design release, and that there's a website where they could vote (http://acm.calstatela.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2487) on, time, date, place where the event will be held. That way I could anticipate on how many people would come to the event. These will be printed at the same time when I print the banner. Voting is not required to come to the event, some people have a time, some don't, but I encouraged them to do so, so that I can anticipate numbers. - Me and some of my team on campus would give some class announcements about the event. 3. At the Event - Someone gives a talk during the event about Fedora 9. I'm thinking about Thomas [1], since he's probably also the only one who's around in my area? Or someone from Red Hat? - Free pizzas and sodas at the event for all of the attendance. (am I going to get reimbursement for this?) - USB Creation Stations - Free Fedora 9 Live CDs - Free Fedora 9 DVDs - Questions and Answers sessions 4. Timeline 12:00 - 12:30 Opening Remarks 12:30 - 1:30 Lunch 1:30 - 2:30 Guest Speaker(s) (will be decided) 2:30 - 3:30 Questions and Answers 3:30 Dismissed Please give me inputs, feedbacks, comments, etc. Details of the event: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GradyLaksmono/Los_Angeles_Release_Party#preview Thanks, Grady Laksmono http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GradyLaksmono [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung From gradyfausta at laksmono.com Tue Apr 15 16:44:00 2008 From: gradyfausta at laksmono.com (Grady Laksmono) Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:44:00 -0700 Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: Please Advice - Fedora 9 Release Party at Los Angeles In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Updates, Thomas will not be available to give a talk during that time.

Making usb live pen is one of the most useful stuff to do during events (really cheaper and appreciated gadget). I and Luca Foppiano asked to Samuele Storari (maybe a new Fedora contributor) to design a poster showing process. I uploaded his work at this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/LiveUsbCreator the idea is simple: print that poster and glue it on some "solid" support (maybe carton box). Then make a hole into poster white space to take out an usb extension cable. When a python script (developed by Matteo Castellini) recognize new usb device, launch usb creator automatically, and play an mp3 at the end of process. So we have the "usb live pen box"... Really easy to use (put usb on the poster and wait for the "finished" sound). I hope this poster can help visitors to discover our live pen service in a funny way :-) I'd like to test this "box" during next event in Italy (Liberamente - Opera - next Saturday). What do you think about this idea? I'll try to upload some shots of final result on flickr as soon as possible. We can spend a couple of minutes to improve this idea during today emea ambassadors meeting.

Yes, that logo needs to be fixed to match the actual Fedora logo. That shouldn't be very hard... the board itself looks pretty great. A few changes I'd suggest: * Change the release number to "9" everywhere * Change the background theme to the new Fedora Waves, hopefully making it a bit darker so the poster is easier to read * The text should read "You provide the pen. The rest is up to us." Personally I think this is a fantastic effort. And it's something that Max and I have both been after -- the ability for someone to walk up to the boot and walk away with a working Fedora. One more thing that might be worth extending the script for -- getting the person to join the Project while they're there, personalizing their Live USB pen in the process. -- Paul W.

Well, here's what we will do at LinuxTag: We'll have a computer in our booth that has several Fedora 9 ISOs on it. We'll have a nice sign printed -- who wants to volunteer to make one -- that advertises "Live USB key station" or something like that. People walk up with their USB key, and in 3 minutes we turn it into a Fedora 9 Live USB. If it's a 1 GB key, they just get the ISO. If it's a 2 GB key or larger, they get persistence too. It's as simple as that. --Max From mspevack at redhat.com Wed Apr 16 16:52:42 2008 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:52:42 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] Funding/Swag for events in April & May Message-ID: Trying to close up the loose ends for our April/May events.

I'm trying to request a price quote to the printing service for the Los Angeles Fedora 9 Release Party, but they're requesting a specific design to be sent to them so that they could give me a price quote. I could design it myself, but I'm more a programmer rather than artists, and so I think that it would be better if I could get some "real" design from Fedora artists such that Fedora will appear much more professional for the Los Angeles Fedora 9 Release Party.

Well, I think you should talk to Rodrigo Padula, because I believe that much of the stuff that is being used for FISL this week will also be used at FLISOL.

This pages needs some work on them. Check https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/CleanUpPages if you are able to help us improve our part in the fedora wiki BTW, soon we will migrate to mediawiki. The test instance is available at https://publictest1.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Impact of the Migration on Ambassadors should be minimal If you have experience with mediawiki, especially with the migration from moinmoin to mediawiki, Fedora Infrastructure will be very pleasant to hear from you ! fugolini, i forget to send the email to Ambs list i just send a copy of the announcement in Famsco list, i will do it now! eof ! GeroldKa, sorry for beeing late, many, many problems by my primary duty my employer eof ! diaa, Hi, I have missed the wiki name part, my wiki name is DiaaRadwan. GeroldKa: it's no problem, everyone here except for me is a volunteer, and we all understand that your primary job has many important commitments we will have fedora day on one of the largest universities on Egypt. sorry for the overlap :) diaa: did you get the stuff out of Customs? No, hopefully I will get it tomorrow. something else before we move on will they require you to pay a lot of money? * spevack sent Diaa a bunch of Swag to support Fedora Day in Egypt If you would like to have a Fedora Ambassador Polo Shirt and you will attend LinuxTag. I think it is not related to money, I think it's about content. they have to look on cds. diaa: they will not find anything too exciting :)... ok, sorry to interrupt you fabian_a, go ahead fabian_a: I think it will be hard to get the polo shirt. You have 2 days left to place your order at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/PoloShirt next topic... Report current status of Ambassadors Membership I want to give you outline on the sessions First session will be FOSS and history of GNU/Linux, fedora, benefits and how to contribute. second one would be either preparing development environment on fedora based server or shell scripting session. is there any ideas? EOF events are on your list, later Ambassadors Membership As of 2008-04-14, 352 Ambassadors have been verified (signed CLA and joined 'ambassadors' group) The Ambassadors statistics page ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Statistics ) will be updated soon with more accurate numbers :-). So far I have no time to do it. Everybody, please check your personal wiki page if all data are up-to-date. We have several Ambassadors with invalid email addresses and some who still have there name.surname at fedoraproject.org addresses on the wiki. Please verifiy also if your CategoryAmbassadors(+Country) entry is still right (with my new script I'm working with this information). BTW, I'm looking for some help to improve this script. I will use it as long that we have no better option to generate some statistics through FAS2 any input about that? ! fcrippa, fabian, I've made some improvements to "stats" script it runs also for "EditGroup" page ..or other "group" pages thanks fcrippa, for this details and I've also made a small project based on turbogear to put charts online automatically if there is some one interesting to continue develop (with me, and - I hope- Fabian), let' go :-) (I'll put code online soon) eof i guess that we are done with this for today, next events Report current status of Fedora Events (passed & upcoming) Please open Fedora Events http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents we will start with the past events as far as I remember...OpenExpo Check the collection http://fabaff.blogspot.com/2008/03/openexpo-2008-berne-collection.html for details about this event FOSSComm Greece glezos? * fugolini has to leave yup see ya the event was great, my talk attracted a lot of people mostly FOSS contributors, not new users we handed out 200 CDs sent by RHT in Germany. and recruited 2 Google Summer of Codes for L10n/Transifex. very satisfied. eof thanks, glezos about Notacon is a report available too -> http://axelilly.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/event-report-fedora-at-notacon-5/ blog post in Greek: http://dimitris.glezos.com/weblog/2008/03/26/fosscomm-recap and album: http://dimitris.glezos.com/photos/various/fosscomm08/ (now I'm EOF, honestly.) glezos, most people in Europe can speak Greek fluently ;-) Future events they do?! Grazer Linuxtage I guess that there is no attendance Fedora day, Cairo diaa? Max shipped me swag, I didn't get them yet it's on the customs, hopefully I will get it tomorrow. ! (after diaa is finished) This the first event I co-organize as fedora ambassador. First session will be FOSS and history of GNU/Linux, fedora, benefits and how to contribute. second one would be either preparing development environment on fedora based server or shell scripting session. the expected attendees are 90 on the first one and 40 on the second. unfortunately, the event is before the release of 9. any ideas ? ,EOF anybody? otherwise spevack diaa: I will send you a presentation that serves as a great "introduction to fedora" diaa: and you can adapt or change it for any needs you like. fabian_a: I wanted to talk about the FedoraEvents page a little bit There are 3 events currently listed for EMEA with no owner spevack, sure ! Grazer LinuxTag Linuxdays in Geneva and OpenSource Expo Linuxdays Geneve, very short: no attendance ok, we can remove that one what about the other two? Either way is fine, I just am curious to know. ! kital, ! (one more thing for later) ! OpenSource Expo is not far for me but it is just before linuxtag My feeling is that OpenSource expo is not important with LinuxTag just a few days later we should focus all our effort on LinuxTag ok eof spevack, then GeroldKa ! i will be quick, then lfoppiano and GeroldKa The call for papers for Froscon is open http://www.froscon.de/en/program/call-for-papers.html I am going to submit a talk and plan to attend the show, if it is accepted EOF imho we're to less Ambassadors to handle every event and we have to less money for covering all this things and another issue is that we have no support by Red Hat right now, but for sure ... ! Max if you're here more things will be also easier for us to handle and cover and btw. ! Froscon is an event which we cover (not myself because it is always in my holidays) mostly they will be happy to have your talk, for sure eof lfoppiano, sorry now it's your turn, then kanarip just 2 word about italian events *words it will be saturdary, our best news is first automatic fedora live usb key creatior GeroldKa: we have more support now more than ever, and it will be my job to give EMEA the proper support that it needs. My date for moving to Europe is May 19th. :) we will do a talk on fedora community (speaker will be fcrippa) and we expect to meet more than 100 people (I hope) lfoppiano is talking about liberaMENTE oh, yes sorry I forgot to tell you (I'm little scared, it's my first ambassador meeeting:P) i'm sure you will be great :) thanks :) if you have some question...or suggestion ;-) * fcrippa is sure too eof kanarip, spevack, I'll work some more on the abstract I'm submitting for LinuxTag, and maybe submit the same talk for FrOSCon ;-) EOF ok, now LinuxTag Berlin We have 21 attendees and a place to sleep. But there is still a lot of work left. ! kanarip: that's my plan too :) We are "hiring" people for the booth setup : Add yourself to the list http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/LinuxTag/LinuxTag2008/BoothSetup GeroldKa, booth-size at the moment I got a call and the information that we will get 16 sqm and because of Red Hat pays a little bit, our booth will be raised up to max. 20 sqm. I will have a meting with the Linuxtag projects board on 2008-04-26 (also) to discuss that point. But there are only 450 sqm for more than 75 free projects and we will get one of the biggest size :-( Because of that issue I decided to cancel the troubleshooting contest (because he's not ready right now) and we try to keep our focus on the gadget with "get your USB stick filled here" FUDCon I have still no answer from Jens working on that issue but heared from Florian that he's working on that issue; late but he seems working on that and he will give us an smaller overview after me :-) SWAG - we found a place where to ship our goods from elsewhere in this world - we order the Fedora Ambassadors Polo next week on Tuesday and the other things in a gremium of JoergSimon, SandroMathys, FabianAffolter and me! more can be seen in the wiki at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/LinuxTag/LinuxTag2008 ! eof spevack, shartsuiker and myself will be arriving 15-16 PM (-ish), that's too late for the booth setup i presume? rivrandir, I'm now working at the Fudcon. I had no time to do it earlier. We still need more talks. kanarip, that's too late. Go directly to the hotel bar and drink some beer ;-) ! ? I'm looking for some more speaker, see mail at mailinglist. EOF thanks, rivrandir glezos, I'd like to kindly request for consideration of common activities of us folks as well who won't be staying at the hotel. :-) ie. go-outs, meetings/discussions, dinners, etc, as well as for needed tasks, etc. ! (directly to glezos) collecting mobile phone numbers will probably help in this aspect eof. GeroldKa first, then kital you're at the moment the only person who'll not stay with us in the same hotel, but no fear we will inform you as well and keep you in "our family" eof glezos, /me is +31642801403 there you go, that's solved ;-) kital, rivrandir there are 7 speakers on how many slots we have? seven :-) kital: 7 when did you count? on wiki http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConLinuxTag2008 not filled in the slots but with dimitriz i count 7 eof Yes, but I did not yet got confirmation from Thibault. and two speaker cancelt today :-( of eof i can confirm thibault eof kital: OK, noted ! anything else about LinuxTag, FUDCon at LinuxTag, or the FAD before LinuxTag? GeroldKa, rivrandir, be aware that these things MUST be filled asap in the vcc of Linuxtag or we get the same "shit" as last year GeroldKa: I know NO Fedora related speaker in the official paperwork eof ! rivrandir, I'm looking especially for a speaker about FreeIPA or cobbler. rivrandir: i might be able to give a talk about cobbler.. let me talk to michael dehaan, who is the primary developer, and see if he has some slides i can borrow eof Is there anyone who would like to discuss stuff about another up-coming event ? spevack: sounds good mail me please Status of the NPO ! aka Fedora EMEA GeroldKa, also waiting for official confirmation they register court complained a part the board decides and the next day it was there I believe the registration will be fullfilled within the next days eof thanks, GeroldKa Now the floor is open... Fedora Live stick creation, anything else about that issue? is it an issue? ! so far GeroldKa, tested it did not work who takes care of that point at Linuxtag? GeroldKa, we have an open floor ;-) blupp have not heard anything from jeremy yet.. i can and i'll order StefanHartsuiker to pay some attention to it as well ;-) s/order/ask/ ok but it's the same kanarip oh one important point for Linuxtag still the same kanarip, yeah we will have two female persons at the booth I guess that we are done. Any more questions or issues before we close this meeting? rivrandir, what is the timeframe for a talk? an hour or so? kanarip: 1 hour, aka 45Minutes talk plus 15 minutes QA right * kanarip continues to work on the abstract kanarip: I only need 3-10 lines.

Just take a look at this mail from Jeffrey: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-April/msg00043.html Release Events are important because they are the final piece of a long and hard development process. He know this year we announced it late but he hope you could create something. Clean-up the Ambassadors parts on the wiki The members of FAmSCo deleted a lot of obsolete pages but there are still many pages left. This pages needs some work on them. Check https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/CleanUpPages if you are able to help us improve our part in the fedora wiki. BTW, soon we will migrate to mediawiki. The test instance is available at https://publictest1.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Main_Page . MaxSpevack said that the impact of the migration on Ambassadors should be minimal. But Fedora Infrastructure will be very pleasant to hear from you if you have experience with mediawiki, especially with the migration from moinmoin to mediawiki. FrancescoUgolini sent the announcement https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-April/msg00116.html Please check your personal wiki page if all data are up-to-date. We have several Ambassadors with invalid email addresses and some who still have there name.surname at fedoraproject.org addresses on the wiki. Please verifiy also if your CategoryAmbassadors(+Country) entry is still valid. Polo shirts You have 2 days left to place your order at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/PoloShirt for LinuxTag. Ambassadors Membership As of 2008-04-14, 352 Ambassadors have been verified (signed CLA and joined 'ambassadors' group). The Ambassadors statistics page ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Statistics ) will hopefully be updated soon with more accurate numbers. FabianAffolter will use his script as long that we have no better option to generate some statistics through FAS2. FranescoCrippa made some improvements his "stats" script. Now it runs also for "EditGroup" page or other "group" pages. He have also made a small project based on turbogear to put charts online automatically. Helping hands are welcome. Events Past events For OpenExpo visit http://fabaff.blogspot.com/2008/03/openexpo-2008-berne-collection.html for details about this event and for Notacon http://axelilly.wordpress.com/2008/04/09/event-report-fedora-at-notacon-5/ (not an European event). DimitrisGlezos reported about the FOSSComm that the event was a success. His talk attracted a lot of people (mostly FOSS contributors, not new users) and he recruited 2 Google Summer of Codes for L10n/Transifex. They handed out 200 CDs, too. There is a Greek blog post: http://dimitris.glezos.com/weblog/2008/03/26/fosscomm-recap and some pictures http://dimitris.glezos.com/photos/various/fosscomm08/ Upcomming events Fedora day, Cairo DiaaRadwan will have Fedora day on one of the largest universities on Egypt. So far there are some issues with the customs. MaxSpevack sent DiaaRadwan a bunch of Swag to support Fedora Day in Egypt. The outline on the sessions will be: FOSS and history of GNU/Linux, fedora, benefits, and how to contribute. The second: Preparing development environment on fedora based server or shell scripting session.This the first event I co-organize as fedora ambassador. First session will be FOSS and history of GNU/Linux, fedora, benefits and how to contribute. second one would be either preparing development environment on fedora based server or shell scripting session. the expected attendees are 90 on the first one and 40 on the second. unfortunately, the event is before the release of 9. Grazer Linuxtage, Linuxdays in Geneva, and OpenSource Expo will be removed from the Fedora Events list because there will be no attendance. JoergSimon said that OpenSource Expo will be not far from his place but the problem is that it is right in front of LinuxTag. MaxSpevack wants to focus all our effort on LinuxTag. GeroldKassube mentioned that we are to less Ambassadors to handle every event and we have to less money for covering all this things. Another issue is that we have no support by Red Hat (in Europe) right now. Froscon MaxSpevack will submit a talk and plan to attend the show, if it is accepted. JeroenVanMeeuwen will submit a a talk, too. liberaMENTE LucaFoppiano said that they will go to use the automaic Fedora Live USB Key creator. FrancescoCrippa will give a talk about the Fedora Community LinuxTag We have 21 attendees and a place to sleep. But there is still a lot of work left. The booth setup call is already out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/LinuxTag/LinuxTag2008/BoothSetup . GeroldKassube said that our booth will be raised up to max. 20 sqm (not only 16qm). He will have a meeting with the Linuxtag projects board on 2008-04-26 (also) to discuss that point. But there are only 450 sqm for more than 75 free projects and we will get one of the biggest size :-( Because of that issue he decided to cancel the troubleshooting contest (because it's not ready right now) and we try to keep our focus on the gadget with "get your USB stick filled here". The order of the Fedora Ambassadors Polo shirt will be done next week. JensKuehnel is working on the preparation of the FUDCon. He is looking for some speakers, especially for a speaker about FreeIPA or cobbler. JoergSimon confirmed the talk from ThibaultNorth. And JeroenVanMeeuwen will send an abstract before midnight. MaxSpevack will try to organize a talk about cobbler. Status of the NPO We are still waiting for official confirmation. GeroldKassube believe the registration will be fullfilled within the next days. Open Floor we will have two female at the booth Next meeting (so far) 2008-05-14 - 20.00 UTC From fab at fedoraproject.org Wed Apr 16 23:01:44 2008 From: fab at fedoraproject.org (Fabian Affolter) Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:01:44 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] LinuxTag Social Event 2008 Message-ID: <48068558.4080003@fedoraproject.org> Hi all, Like in 2007 there will be a Social Event called LinuxNacht [1] during LinuxTag [2].

I really like the idea of having the stand-up poster on the booth table with a USB extension cable and a person being able to walk-by, plug in their USB key and have a copy of Fedora a few minutes later. Very good combination. I hope you post the updated poster with Paul's changes to the wiki so the whole community can benefit from the work you folks have done. I am looking forward to using it at our release party! Regards, ~Jeffrey From mspevack at redhat.com Thu Apr 17 04:21:46 2008 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:21:46 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] updated slides & presentations Message-ID: I mentioned in the EMEA ambassadors meeting that I would be sure to upload the current version of the "introduction to Fedora" slide deck that I tend to use. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommunityArchitecture/Presentations Feel free to modify this, translate it, improve it, use it at your events, etc. If you make any good additions or if you translate the talk for your local region, please share it back to the wiki. --- Something that probably needs to go on the Ambassadors/Marketing TODO list: 1) Inventory all of the various talks and presentations that are on the wiki. 2) Foreach of these talks, determine if the content is outdated, or if the content is still useful and on-message. Throw out the old stuff, and figure out an ownership/maintenance plan for the "good" stuff. 3) As people deliver the presentations and either modify or translate them, make sure we're keeping things updated and in a reasonably central location. THE END GOAL: A single place where someone who is going to deliver a talk about Fedora for the 1st time, or for the 100th time, can find content that they know is of GOOD QUALITY, that is CONSISTENT WITH OUR MESSAGE, and that either has been (or can be) translated. --Max From gradyfausta at laksmono.com Thu Apr 17 07:39:58 2008 From: gradyfausta at laksmono.com (Grady Laksmono) Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:39:58 -0700 Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: Fedora 9 Release Party Poster and Fliers In-Reply-To: <1049868438.4981208417836693.JavaMail.root@mail.byte-code.com> References: <1049868438.4981208417836693.JavaMail.root@mail.byte-code.com> Message-ID: That would be great Samuele, I've got the fliers and USB design from the other topic in the mailing list.

The content is OK, but it lacks visual impact. Feel free to translate, and add visual elements to your heart's content.

It is my pleasure to announce on behalf of FAmSCo that we can help sponsor ten release parties worldwide! We have set aside $100 USD for each of those ten release parties to help with reimbursing the organizing ambassador for costs associated with the party. We currently have three release parties listed on the Fedora Events page [1], we would like to help sponsor seven more. In order for a party to be sponsored it needs to be listed on the Fedora Events page. So, check out the Release Party Planning page [2], choose a date and time for your release party and add it to the Fedora Events page. Remember that events, including release parties, that receive funds from Fedora Project need to follow our reporting guidelines [3] as well.

A generic intro: ---------------- You can reuse and modify as necessary the intro presentation from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommunityArchitecture/Presentations Fedora is fully committed to Free and open source software and staying close to upstream as much as possible. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WhyUpstream Fedora drives a lot of the upstream work shared by other distributions. Refer http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RedHatContributions Security is a key focus area http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security/Features Virtualization is another. Refer to virt-manager, libvirt etc. A open build system, koji, a unified repository along with livecd-creator, pungi and revisors supports custom variants of Fedora that are called Fedora spins very easily. Rebranding is supported via the generic-logos package. We have a easy way to support persistence and creating a bootable USB key is trivial. There are a large number of such spins - desktop (gnome), KDE, Xfce live images, Electronics Lab, games and several upcoming ones. https://fedorahosted.org/transifex is a web service (completely Free software) that understands different source code management systems and presents a unified easy to use web interface and works towards committing changes upstream and then inheriting those changes in Fedora. Fedora is well known for presenting a great look and feel including a fresh new default theme every release. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork Fedora in a continuation of Red Hat Linux released first in November 3 1994. It is also the upstream for more than a hundred derivatives including significant ones such as OLPC and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DerivedDistributions A common misconception ---------------------- This is a common misconception that you might want to clarify upfront: RPM format ~= DEB format RPM tool ~= dpkg Yum, apt-rpm, smart ~= apt RPM is not comparable to apt-get. It is comparable to dpkg. In fact, both RPM and Apt-RPM upstreams are maintained by the same Fedora/Red Hat developer. We have yum, apt-rpm(synaptic) and smart available in the Fedora repository and they all support the same repomd metadata format. RPM supports many additional things including multi-lib (the ability to install both 32-bit and 64-bit libs in parallel), file based dependencies (though we don't use it much), triggers (which recently has been in the dpkg fork in Ubuntu but not in Debian) and others. We choose yum over apt-rpm as the default because it was a good replacement for up2date using the same language (python), ease of development and also because apt-rpm upstream was dead as the time we had to chose and didn't support features like multi-lib that was crucial to us. For performance improvements, demonstrate the speed in Fedora 9. ---- Fedora 9 specific ----------------- http://jonrob.wordpress.com/2008/04/19/5-reasons-why-youll-love-fedora-9/ is a pretty good intro. I would also definitely highlight FreeIPA better. Closing ------- Fedora and Ubuntu share a lot of the same software due to Fedora's free software and upstream friendly policy.

SusmitShannigrahi SiddharthUpmanyu GopalDas AshiqurRahman MahayAlamKhan JeroenVanMeeuwen KevinVerma please follow the protocol http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRCHowTo#Protocol agenda is here DanishkaNavin http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Meetings/2008-04-19 HehersonPagcaliwagan anyone else here? First agenda Freemedia ! techbugs Hi all SiddharthUpmanyu here.. For the region we are very much lacking in the freemedia distribution due to lack of resuorces(obvious ) +1 now i have one change in the pattern which we ship DVDs which can help in improving situation techbugs, what pattern do you suggest? we can have a meeting before every months opening and check with locations of fedora ambassadors ... when we get a request from the same location we forward the request to the abmassador in that place the ambassador can choose to contact the request owners and ask them to get a blank media and get it burned directly +1 +1 this can work because we have major requests coming from very few cities like 800+ pending from FreeMedia India since last yesr whe have 400 from 5 cities any city wise division? Chennai(100+) Bangalore (150+) Pune(60+) Delhi (60+) Colcata (80+) nice ! a few more in the range of 40-50 hanthana, if techbugs finished this is ok for India, but in Sri Lanka I'm handling all, even out of the FreeMedia list coz, I can't say NO for them most of them from Academia You said about connecting all them to backbone so that my lower the requests may ! heherson how is the backbone to be setup? eof backbone is generally existing...may be some isp's or gov's how about users sending blank media to ambassadors? we take up shipping cost? ! hanthana its not good, with comparing to Ubuntu there are not asking a blank DVD or a single CD ! techbugs dude, this is a kind of competetion eof ubuntu follows very different path.. it is heavily funded by one man... techbugs +1 ! we are not in any comparision with ububtu eof hanthana why RH can't funding for Fedora * nim-nim (n=nim-nim at fedora/nim-nim) has joined #fedora-meeting I mean -- for the distribution any RH representative here? :) at least for Developping countries yes I can see few RH employees ! but not sure about managers ;) iWolf do you mean funding for media shipping ? ! I am *not* an RH employee, so I speak only for myself. RH does do a lot to help support the Fedora Project, provides servers, bandwidth and pays people to work in key pieces of the project. +1 They can only do so much, and where they can't help out it is up to the community to help step up. +1 iwolf +1, we may ask Famsco instead We do have a budget for events, so Fedora can help you there. eof hanthana as RHEL is taking feed back from the Fedora users and contributors, they must fund for both media and shipping at least for developping countries. ! for example; RH - India can fund for India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, etc in developing countries we should also explore other means than just shipping media well, Fedora is a community effort of which RH is a part. +1 techbugs can be a debate point but currently this kind of discussion is out of our scope :) we can focus on what we have got... eof techbugs +1, leave RH out of discussion at this moment. techbugs: +1 +1 ! omshanti ! blank media and return envelop solution can be taken for the time being and help of local ambassadors well, how about we provide shipping charge? ! iWolf If you provide shipping charge for the blank media to you, aren't you further ahead to pay for the blank media and only need to ship it once? eof INR 10 compared to INR 30 :) ah, okay. :) ! How about we accept donations in terms of media? not money.. iWolf? I got a few people interested in making donations of media I would think if people have media they want to give to the cause, that would be good. ! money will be easy to manage and re-dist within Ambassadors, imho ! But ambassaors can not accept money onshanti ! omshanti project can ? they can send the postal stamp inside the return envelop along with the black media donations* project can IMO...iWolf? we can request them to send postal stamp inside the return envelop ! and when we return them we just have to stick them Fedora Project isn't set up to really accept donations. That is one of the reasons the EMEA group setup thei own organization, so they could work easier with cases like this. omshanti, is not that same ? techbugs kind and money is not same we can setup a fund for the reagion like EMEA and accept inflows in it ... then distribution to ambassadors eof hanthana after techbugs finishes Anuj pls read this http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRCHowTo#Protocol +1 What is this FreeMedia or Stamp Media.. :( I meant techbugs +1 ;) +1 techbugs eof techbugs, +1 +1 techbugs any suggestions regarding hoto howto ! iWolf The local laws for your region will control how you would setup something similar to EMEA. That will be different. I am sure the EMEA folks could offer some basic advice and things to take into consideration. Also, techbugs said it best earlier, for now - work with what you have. You guys are doing great by starting your meetings up and making those first steps to getting organized. eof lets set up a wiki page on that and work on it... for the time being ! lets accept as much free requests as we can...may be fixed by a meeting at the end of a month +1 rest will required to send media +1 techbugs can we have a country wise representation in todays meeting.. please state your country name.... i am asking this so that we can form initial groups who can take responsibility for setting up teams and coordination forcoming menths India eof Philippines eof Bangladesh India Bangladesh Sri Lanka eof India anyone else? So whats the decision? shall we go forward with media to be sent by requesting person? please vote +1 +1 -1 +1 if we cant do it by anyother wayy (local help or contribution) +1 techbugs +1 for now +1 ok then we go forward with it for this month. techbugs can you create a draft wiki page on the proposals? yap sure next agenda local events ! hanthana why don't you try to keep this as rewally free project ! *really techbugs "Free as in beer" .... we just cant fund everything to make it look like free for the end users eof exactly +1. hahthana what do you think is better? having 1200 pending requests or do as much as we can.... that why I asked to fund from RH ! well, time is running out...we may discuss more on mailing list +1 next agenda please +1 :P +1 fedora events ! we are not having _any_ event here famsco have money allocated for it...but we can not take it :( hanthana DO YOU going to ask DVD and stamp from all 1200 people it wasn't in the request page, at that time, at least for now do your own... please ! maktrix can FAMSCO disburse funding in Bangladesh ? sure...iWolf? ! iWolf FAmSCO has funding for events. we have plenty of opportunity to participate eof we have some money set aside for the APAC region. To receive money there needs to be an event on the Fedora Events page in the wiki. So, if you know of an event, someone would need to own the event, add it to the Fedora Events page and begin planning. ! We are handling it in quarters based on RH fiscal year. ! so for this first quarter (ends at the end of May) we are sort of going ad hoc. the problem is Ambassadors go to the events, but don't ask for support or list them. ! maktrix To be considered for 2nd quarter the event needs to be listed on the Fedora Events page by May 1st. eof iWolf, thanks :) if an easy to request webform for event reporting and or support asking can be setup would be fine eof ! iWolf For event reporting, we cover that in the Reporting guidelines - we want to see posts to a blog that is on Fedora Planet and an email to the Ambassadors list. That is so we can make sure people worldwide can see and hear about the activity. eof asking swags/money have a webpage http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ReportingGuidelines but reporing have not susmit: for asking for money, the event just needs and owner and to be listed on the Fedora Events page. That is what FAmSCo uses when we look at what events need funding. Exactly ! so why don't we make ALL events we go to as a fedora event? lets do it from now ! onshanti omshanti thanks iWolf what is the procedure to receive the funds hanthana iWolf, in Sri Lanka we have FOSS events in each month, but more people used to be with ubntu... but I'm talking about Fedora only so, is it possible to fund for such an event, by Media, notes,etc NOT money.. :D eof sure there is webform for the same ! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/GetStuff iWolf omshanti: when an event is listed on the Events page with an owner we will work with you to see how much funding is available Also, with the release of Fedora 9, don't forget we have limited funding for sponsoring the first 10 release parties as announced here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-April/msg00154.html eof thanks iWolf ! thanks..I will take care of creating a easy reporting web-form. So we don't miss any event hanthana i need a answer from iWolf we address nearly 50 -100 students per an event hanthana: the money for events is already in the budget Fedora Project has. hanthana: it isn't a case of Fedora Project accepting a donation necessarily. iWolf, do you have any issue, if other ppl from ubuntu,etc iWolf, coz, I dont want to suck Fedora funds hanthana: your events sound great, we don't mind if ubuntu is there or not. hanthana: we have had shared release parties in the past, so a combined event is not an issue. iWolf, thats why I told you the truth iWolf, thanks :) next ?we also need to create a event database....please list all your regional events and timing. anyone willing to create a wiki page for that? we finish in 10 minutes. susmit, can we move with existing event page? do we need a separate one for APAC ? A page for APAC will be great hanthana: there is a section for APAC on the existing Fedora Event page. iWold sure it is. iWolf, susmit ok lets go ahead with it :) ! but I am talking about ALL events...so that ambassadors look at the page and decide if they can attend that or not.. iWolf do remember that the budget is limited, so if APAC comes up with 100 events, we won't be able to fund all of them. Here is the budget page if youhave not seen it before. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents Seen it seen it we can of course work with you to determine which events need funding. eof but we have no event in any quarter and we have a lot of users and contributors!!! so as we said we may discuss about what events need funding susmit: agreed. we (famsco) would love to see events from the APAC region. ! hanthana don't forget, we have some release party funds too... ;) we have such event in Sri Lanka :) in each and every month eof why don't you list them? I didn't due to mixing issue now onwards I can do it ! As iWolf famsco can not support a numbers of events...but as long as are ready to do it...do it rahmanangel yeah ! This month we have ubuntu release party in bangladesh for first time Why don't you arrenge for an fedora release party? arrange +1 +1 -1 maktrix rahmanangel, do it dude maktrix why nit? am not aware of it... not? haven't heard of any unaware of what? as iWolf told we have had shared release parties in the past, we can go with them arenge a shared party Ankur Bangladesh (http://ankur.org.bd/wiki/Home ) is a having a install fest for Fedora9 next month, Can weincorporate with them and have a release party Or we may have both? why not both? we finish in 5 minutes If you performed well you can win if F9 performed well no issue at all maktrix, rahmanangel? lets go for both +1 +1 nice yeah anyone have anything more to say? we have some pending agenda...will discuss at later meeting. noone? so thanks everyone.... thanks iWolf thank you susmit and everybody susmit, mirror?? susmit: you're welcome. thanks for leading the meeting ! hanthana at the moment Im working on Fedora private mirrors for accademia. 01. Fedora customized mirror for the University VPN - LEARN 02. Fedora mirror for the schoolnet - VPN of the schools of the Sri Lanka Moreover we are thinking on caching service too after that we can move for a Public mirror yeah, a lot of pending issues remain we have to meet very soon again iWolf, this is a long term plan for Fedora community may be next week? susmit, tiker\y ;) pending issues tikey hanthana: that sounds like a great plan. mirrors marketing hanthana: helps start the infrastructure for distribution. student partners press bulk media production thanks iWolf so we will discuss at next meeting.... iWolf, I will do my best +1 good night and good morning and good evening, ;) see you all again susmit, date N time ? will work on mailing list sure bye everyone. Have a nice time :) sya all take care thanks all.. cya Good night/morning/evening iWolf, susmit omshanti maktrix rahmanangel heherson techbugs Thanks guys valo thaken have a nice day From fugolini at fedoraproject.org Sat Apr 19 21:14:48 2008 From: fugolini at fedoraproject.org (Francesco Ugolini) Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:14:48 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] LIBERAmente, Opera (MI) - My day Message-ID: I just left LIBERAmente, an event hold in Opera, near Milan. I had the pleasure to meet the guys from LoLUG (Lodi LUG) and the other Italian ambassadors, who come from the north and the center of Italy. The guys organized the booth greatly: a LoLUG member set up a python script that allow you to plug your USB pen and automatically have fedora 8 live burned, unfortunately i didn't took my pen with me but many people didn't make the same mistake :) They, also, created a box, so it looks like an automatic iso burning machine! During the morning Francesco, Luca and the other LoLUG members worked at the booth. In the afternoon, after the arrival of Gianluca and Andrea, we started the meeting talking about the next fedora activities in Italy, putting the stress on Release Events (we hope to have 3 events organized!) and Linux Day, our most important an popular event. Moreover we discussed about a cheap way to produce fedora USB pens, and, generally, an economic way to produce swags from ourselves, cutting shipping cost and delivery time. We discussed about LinuxTag and Fedora EMEA: for the first one we made a list of what we need to accomplish our ambassadors duties, for the second one we reviewed the work just done (see FOSDEM08) and we wondered how we can help it grown. I want to thank Francesco because he took me from the tube to Opera (and Lucia for the return) and gave Italian ambassadors the possibility to have a face to face meeting: yes, we had not a lot of time to discuss about everything but what we said was just enough to start, I hope, a strenght relationship between us. I want, also, to thank you all ambassadors who attended this event and the great staff that took care of the booth and made me like at home.

Yes, I'd have to miss Lug Radio Live, but we weren't invited to that anyway. I'd never heard of FISL before, and all I knew about Brazil was that it was in South America, they like soccer, and they speak Portuguese. When I arrived in Brazil, I quickly learned several additional facts: 1. Most Brazilians don't speak any English, only Portuguese. 2. There are noticeably more women than men in Brazil. (The Economist says that the ratio is about 95 males to 100 females, but the locals said that it was more like 60/40). 3. Brazilians are really really really excited about Linux and FOSS. When we got to FISL on the first day, all that we saw were lines! http://ausil.us/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=3214&g2_serialNumber=2 We really weren't sure which line to get into, because, well, there were no signs and none of the locals spoke English, so we just got in one of the lines. It took more than an hour to get inside and get our badges, then we had to rush to the Fedora presentation (I'd made some F-9 slides the night before, and David Barzilay had translated them). We missed all of the presentation, but we got there in time for Q&A... which went well, thanks to David's quick translation skills. FISL had over 7000 people in attendance, it was really overwhelming, but awesome! The language barrier was a pretty significant problem for me, as I really wanted to talk to people visiting the Fedora booth and folks in other booths. Eventually, I just gave up and just observed what was going on, and helped out whenever I could. I got laptops working with MPEG video to a TV output, installed Fedora 8 on someone's system, researched a sound driver for a rather obscure arm handheld device, and helped get Sugar running on top of Fedora (it is worth noting that ghbuild kills kittens). The Ambassadors did a wonderful job with their booth, and the attendees definitely noticed. They had professional polo shirts, high quality pressed media of Fedora 8 (livecds and installs), and they were constantly talking to people. They even had a setup where people could register as they got a free DVD. They were very helpful to us Americans, and were very patient with our inability to speak to them. :) If it wasn't for them, our trip could have easily been a real waste, but they really made it worthwhile. We ate a lot of good food, buffet style meals are extremely popular there. As reported, I am indeed a "culinary coward", because I did not partake in the eating of chicken hearts. The fact that I don't eat beef or pork made things... difficult, but if you like meat, Brazil is the place for you. We went to a churrascaria (aka, Brazilian BBQ) one evening, and that was just wild. Never ending meat, plus dancing and bolos! We also took some time to go sightseeing, hitting up some of the local museums (no English there either, but we got the jist of things), and to check out one of the large parks nearby. The park had a "mini-zoo" with monkeys and birds of paradise (real birds, not flowers). In summary: * Brazil is a HOTBED of Free and Open Source activity. We have a lot of good Fedora talent in the region, and we're looking at ways that we can get more involved with them. * If I get the opportunity to return to FISL, I will surely learn some Portuguese first. :) Thanks, ~spot From ricardo at fedoraproject.org Fri Apr 25 21:19:38 2008 From: ricardo at fedoraproject.org (=?UTF-8?Q?Ricardo_Arg=C3=BCello?=) Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 16:19:38 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] My trip to FISL In-Reply-To: <1209152612.12717.365.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1209152612.12717.365.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <500f0ca00804251419s8cc13eamfce087c3dcf4a6b3@mail.gmail.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 2:43 PM, Tom spot Callaway wrote: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkgSStkACgkQwRRF61lvbkKtlQCff6olQZwoFYVHqbprJdygfdMh Z1kAn0vkRytibRucQEux+RugzazFEOj5 =rwgR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > (I'd made some F-9 slides the night before, and David Barzilay had > translated them). > I think I could use those slides tomorrow at the FLISOL here in Quito.

Although the language was a barrier I believe we did our best to try to communicate and we had fun with it. The problem is that we are used to write and read in English, but meet a English native speaker personally is bit more rare. We are pleased to have more people interested in our country and I hope you guys keep coming to our events, because we really need to interact more and share our experiences about open source software. We distributed a huge amount of DVDs and LiveCDs at FISL. Everything we had was distributed. We also installed Fedora in some usb sticks, did some troubleshooting (Spot really helped us a lot), collected cases about Linux migration and answered a lot of questions at our presentation. In addition I had a meeting with the leaders of many translation projects such GNOME, KDE, Debian and Mandriva. It was the fist official meeting of LDP-BR (Linux Documentation Project - Brazil). We are trying to create a unified infrastructure where we can get smaller projects translated. Since most people here doesn't speak english, as Spot said before, localization is crucial for the growth of free software and this initiative will benefit not just Fedora, but Free Software as a whole. > Thanks, No, thank YOU!

Message-ID: <10e0a9b00804271900q7b6907fqabed6953a0adbb4a@mail.gmail.com> Are you still waiting for a reason to hold a Fedora 9 release party? Well, FAmSCo has decided to add one more reason to the list - a Release Party Contest! That's right - a contest! FAmSCo has arranged to offer a Fedora laptop bag as a prize for this contest. A picture of the bag can be seen here: http://jeffreyt.fedorapeople.org/release_party/fedora_laptop_bag_mid.jpg Here is how to make sure your release party is eligible for this contest. First, it needs to be held sometime between May 13th and May 27th of 2008. That gives you a two week window to schedule your event. Next, we will need to know how your release party went, so we need to see an event report posted to the Ambassadors list and an Ambassador's blog. The more details and pictures you can provide from your release party, the more information FAmSCo will have to determine a winner. You can use the Event Reporting Guidelines [1] for help on writing an event report. This is a global contest, so an ambassador from any country is eligible to win. FAmSCo will select one winner from the release parties that meet the above eligibility guidelines during the week of June 2nd, this allows time for everyone to post an event report prior to that date. The following is an example of things FAmSCo will look at when determining the winner of the contest. * Number of Attendees * What happened at the event party (live USB stations, install fests, Q&A, etc.) * Creativity, this is the wildcard category - we know there are lots of great ideas out there, let's hear about them. * Event Report Quality And remember, whether the release party you organize wins the contest or not - all release parties are a great contribution to the community, helping promote Fedora in your region and bringing even more people to Fedora! There is still plenty of time to put together a release party in your area. Just add your event to the Fedora Events page [2] and start planning! If you have any questions, feel free to let a FAmSCo member [3] know. --- Jeffrey [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ReportingGuidelines [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee From nayyares at gmail.com Mon Apr 28 06:35:57 2008 From: nayyares at gmail.com (Nayyar Ahmad) Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:35:57 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora Day at Helwan university In-Reply-To: <4810E01C.5010701@gmail.com> References: <4810E01C.5010701@gmail.com> Message-ID: <8e1ee2a30804272335w53bdf1a9wb5893e1fe9733620@mail.gmail.com> Hi Diaa; Thanks, Its a great effort, photo graphs are looking good, it would be very nice if you can put further detail on different sessions, e.g. what kind of questions were asked mainly, especially when you introduced Fedora...

Thank you for coming up with this idea and the Python script to automate it. I wish I had this for the last event I worked (Notacon 5). I'll take a look at the script and see if there's anything I can add. Thanks again. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As FAMSCo mentioned a while back, we are using May 1 as a "freeze" date for the FedoraEvents page. What does this mean? Any event for June - August that is listed on the FedoraEvents page and that has an OWNER by May 1 will receive funding. You can still organize events after May 1, but we cannot *guarantee* funding. So if there is a large event coming up that you want to make sure is good, make sure you let us know about it in the next 2 or 3 days. We will do our best to be flexible, but we have to have some deadlines that we use for planning. I'm taking a quick look at the page, and seeing good stuff: 5 events in North America (though Ottawa Linux Symposium still needs an official owner). 1 event in South America. 4 events in EMEA (though FrOSCon still needs an owner). 1 event in Asia, India, Australia. ========== What does it mean to take ownership of either Ottawa Linux Symposium or FrOSCon? 1) You are the person who makes sure that we have a booth. You coordinate with FAMSCo about costs (if any) associated with the booth. 2) You recruit other Fedora Ambassadors or Red Hat employees to come and represent Fedora. 3) You let people know whether or not there are any speaking opportunities -- BOF, speeches, etc. -- at the event an tell people how they can sign up. 4) You help to determine what kind of swag is needed, and how it will be gotten. ========== I would like to see Fedora average at least one event per week for the entire year. So far in 2008 we've completed 17 weeks, and the PastEvents page lists 18 events, so we're doing pretty well. --Max From diaaradwan at gmail.com Tue Apr 29 10:11:23 2008 From: diaaradwan at gmail.com (Diaa Radwan) Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:11:23 +0300 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora Day at Helwan university In-Reply-To: <8e1ee2a30804272335w53bdf1a9wb5893e1fe9733620@mail.gmail.com> References: <4810E01C.5010701@gmail.com> <8e1ee2a30804272335w53bdf1a9wb5893e1fe9733620@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <4816F44B.2010905@gmail.com> On 04/28/2008 09:35 AM, Nayyar Ahmad wrote: > Hi Diaa; > > Thanks, Its a great effort, photo graphs are looking good, it would be > very nice if you can put further detail on different sessions, e.g. what > kind of questions were asked mainly, especially when you introduced > Fedora...
