I would like all of you to take a look at this page, and offer your thoughts and comments. If you are an event owner in Q3, it is particularly important that you take a look. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Budget Things to consider: (0) We have a few weeks to tweak this, and want to make our final decisions somewhere in the last week of August, so that come September 1, people know what to expect. (1) If you are an event owner, do you think your event is getting enough support? If you have either *more* budget than you think you will need, or *less* budget than you think you will need, please speak up. (2) Realize that this is a zero-sum game. To increase one budget requires decreasing something else. We are trying to balance the needs of people across the world. We are doing this openly and transparently so that we can try to reach a consensus that works for everyone, rather than just dictating policy. (3) We will *not* be mass-producing Fedora 10 media with a separate budget. What you see on this page is what you get. Event owners are free to pool together bits of their budgets to produce swag at better prices. Use your local Ambassadors meetings on IRC. (4) Realize that these are just initial thoughts, and that we want to work together as a group to handle budget in a way that empowers as many people as possible. (5) Remember that with budget comes responsibility. Organization, event reports, new contributors, follow-up, etc. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ReportingGuidelines Thanks, Max From electromech at electromech.info Fri Aug 1 12:10:39 2008 From: electromech at electromech.info (ElectroMech) Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 17:40:39 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] How to contribute :) Message-ID: <24233aca0808010510p12daa8cfq5188126606960d28@mail.gmail.com> Dear All, As a we took lots of advantages from community / opensource products, we also would like contribute to community.

If everyone want to help provide a service you could join the forces and try to find a compromise. Maybe create content in Portugese and then if someone want to translate them in Portugese Lusitanian (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusitanian_language it's considered an extincted language) he could be able to do that.

If you think that SC Ruby Con would be worth attending you might want to contact the organizers again and explain that Fedora Project is a community project and does not necessarily have large amounts of money to pay for a booth and ask if they can work with you on that. Sometimes throwing in that you can get them some "free" publicity through being listed on the Fedora Events page, blog postings before and after the event and such organizers will give you a booth for free at a con. We have had success with this in the past at getting a booth at a con we would have otherwise been unable to attend due to the cost of booth space. ~Jeffrey From herlo1 at gmail.com Fri Aug 1 20:41:19 2008 From: herlo1 at gmail.com (Clint Savage) Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 14:41:19 -0600 Subject: [Ambassadors] EventBox/EventKits In-Reply-To: <10e0a9b00808011329g65f4fdd0nb23fed2e88e5d18b@mail.gmail.com> References: <10e0a9b00808011329g65f4fdd0nb23fed2e88e5d18b@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 2:29 PM, Jeffrey Tadlock wrote: > On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 1:17 PM, David Nalley wrote: >> At the last NA meeting Clint Savage and I took on the responsibility >> of defining what our event box should contain, how many there should >> be, etc. We also decided to define what we needed in regards to >> individual ambassadors having a kit to let them handle small events >> like LUG meetings, etc. If you are not in NA, please still take a look >> at this - especially you guys in EMEA who seem to have this down a >> little better than we do.

Sounds to me like a Naming convention issue. I like EventBox just fine, but I heard we have an EventKit as well, which is apparently just like our AmbassadorKit, which to me is more appropriate. So I'll go through and change the EventKit to EventBox and point a link to this page. Then help to update the EventBox page. Doe the AmbassadorKit (formerly EventKit) have a page? If not, we should create one. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Drafts/NA/Tools Cheers, Clint From kwade at redhat.com Fri Aug 1 20:53:52 2008 From: kwade at redhat.com (Karsten 'quaid' Wade) Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:53:52 -0700 Subject: [Ambassadors] come chat on #fedora-ambassadors Message-ID: <1217624032.13450.62.camel@calliope.phig.org> Because Ambassadors are certainly a kind of Fedoran who likes to talk. :) #fedora-ambassadors on irc.freenode.net - Karsten (quaid) -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.

I started creating a doc with the archives and their dates but after a few presentations I realized that they all had the same date. There has been a migration and all docs have the same date. The docs themselves don't have dates. What do you sugest? We could create a /NewPresentations where new presentations post would follow the field schema. And there would be a link to /NewPresentation in the /Presentation page together with a warning stating to post presentations in /NewPresentation. After a time /NewPresentation would become /Presentation and /Presentation would become /OldPresentation.

For more information just take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD/FADEMEA2008 . According to the previous posts made by the Orga Team, the main goal is to have a person per country (in EMEA) so it could be possible to discuss in a better way about 2009 activities. I think this is an amazing experience for a Ambassador, here you could stay in contact with people from different countries and you could discuss about the future of the project in your Region. I hope this experience could be repeated in the other regions (see LATAM, AN; APAC etc.), because I can assure there is nothing powerful than this event.

We do not need a desktop, partially for space, also because Jack is working on getting us nice desktop-type machine for display. iBook G3 is good, I like to show that our OS supports hardware that Apple may not for long. :) > > John Poelstra is shipping the event kit from OSCON to me directly, it is > > (iirc) 5 boxes.

This is an issue that FAMSCo should take up at their next meeting -- setting some guidelines for media production. The budget will be the biggest factor in the number of pieces of media available at an event. Therefore FAMSCo should be thinking about what portion of the money is sensible to spend on media for events. -- Paul W.

If you have an event you have to submit it in Fedora Events wiki page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents. Now it's too late to ask for money for Q3, the deadline was August 1st, as Max (FAmSCo treasurer) underlined in his messages to Ambassadors list (see https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-July/msg00258.html and https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-July/msg00152.html for more info). Now, you may try to ask APAC community if they have some CDs/DVDs available. I hope you'll find a solution, moreover i invite you, next time, to add your event in the events wiki page following the budget deadlines. It's important for Fedora to spread its voice around the world, expecially in country like yours, at the same time we need to guarantee a system that could work globally and that can allow us to manage Budget without any mistakes and without a superficially care. Hope you could be able to be there.

Particularly the first 2 out of these 3 steps are very important to the organization of the event and to everyone trying to arrange cheap traveling. I request that everyone updates his status on the wiki page ASAP (before Monday would be helpful). 1a) If you can confirm your attendance (now, that the date and the location are fixed), move your name from Possible[2] to Confirmed[3] 1b) If you can't attend this event, please remove yourself from the list.* 2) If you drive to Basel or an airport by car and have some free seats available, make sure to add yourself to the car pool[4]. We're grateful for everyone helping out here as this reduces costs for you and others. 3) Feel free to add more topics you want to discuss to the Business Agenda[5]. *If you need financial help with your travel expenses, ask Max if he can help (unfortunately, our budget is very limited).

Some additional information which might be useful to you (and other ambassadors from northern Italy). I'm not sure where in Italy you live, but I once checked the cheapest option for people from Milan to Basel. Far cheaper than flying was taking the train. I checked this on the Swiss Federal Railway's website (http://www.ffs.ch/). Depending on your age (older/younger than 25/26) it's EUR 120.-/150.- for both ways (normally). There's also a limited number of cheaper tickets available for only EUR 40.- for both ways! The special offer requires you to buy the ticket at least 14 days in prior to the travel and is valid for a specified day and train only. It's not possible to refund/exchange these tickets once you bought them. And as I mentioned, there's a limited quota - better buy them soon! I uploaded a PDF[1] to my webspace showing the different prices and even the exact trains I recommend (unless you can't afford to spend the whole Friday for your travel). You can also see, that if it's a Cisalpino, the journey will only take you a little over 4hrs from Milano Centrale to Basel SBB without the need to change trains!

Although if others want to join in, its completely appropriate. I'd argue for having both listed as our meeting collides with EMEA on 8-20 (or 8-19) and will probably do so on the third Wednesday every month. Let me know, its easy to change. Oh, and gregdek, I feel very green still, but I think David and I can figure it out if you are overly busy. Chime in as you see fit however.

In Q2 I've arranged "F9 Release party" without financial assistance from FAMSCo, though I've been insisted to have funds, by FamSCo. But, I managed that locally and thought that FAMSCo budget should be redirected to some more appropriate event on Q2 list. *Note: The event report of mine can be searched through Ambassador mailing lists and visuals are here * > (2) Realize that this is a zero-sum game.

Now it's decreased into $1500. I have an event coming on. I don't know how much our event going to get from that 1,500, but decreasing further would make the possiblity of getting an adequate budget is less.

Not sure the protocol here for providing info, but its pretty complete on the request page. thanks in advance, Clint From inode0 at gmail.com Wed Aug 6 16:57:49 2008 From: inode0 at gmail.com (inode0) Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2008 11:57:49 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] NA Ambassadors Meeting 2008-08-06 Meeting Summary Message-ID: Clint Savage led the meeting. * News from FAmSCo - Jeffrey Tadlock, Q3 budget report and guidelines for documenting activities discussed. * Fedora outreach in the academic community - Jack Aboutboul, overview of plans for how Fedora can increase its presence and impact at high school and college campuses. Lively discussion with interrupted flow due to network issues. Jack will submit a more detailed report to this list soon to fill in some gaps. Jack has a bold vision of how to proceed and we'll need to fully understand that vision in order to most effectively mesh our efforts into it. More discussion will occur on list about this subject. * NA Goal review and reporting as it relates to events and activities - David Nalley, discussion of ways to organize goals and better track progress including promotion of "events" both large and small as well as recruitment of ambassadors and other contributors to the project. Grappling with the notion of an active ambassador and whether such a notion is useful. The role of an ambassador is very broad and Fedora can be promoted in so many ways this notion turns out to be difficult to pin down. But it is very important to have ways to track what ambassadors do at least at a high level so progress can be evaluated and funding can be directed to appropriate need areas. * Events in NA - Karsten Wade reported about Lindependence, some brief discussion of other events, and planning for UTOSC. Some final discussion about the future of event planning being directed through the NA regional + FAMSCo process closed the meeting.

(08:02:29 PM) herlo: first topic - (08:02:30 PM) herlo: 1. News from FAmSCo (08:05:23 PM) ***herlo hasn't lead a fedora meeting before, is there a protocol for how long we wait? (08:05:44 PM) ke4qqq: 30 seconds :) (08:05:46 PM) herlo: we could table the first two and see if iWolf or jaboutboul arrive (08:05:51 PM) herlo: later on (08:06:05 PM) ke4qqq: so moved (08:06:07 PM) herlo: NA Goal review and reporting as it relates to events and activities (08:06:07 PM) ***iWolf wanders in late (08:06:13 PM) iWolf: sorry about that. (08:06:21 PM) herlo: iWolf: nw, lets move back to 1 then (08:06:26 PM) herlo: 1. News from FAmSCo (08:06:51 PM) iWolf: heh, i missed last weeks FAmSCo meeting. (08:07:09 PM) herlo: oh, okay (08:07:21 PM) herlo: so this meeting is starting well lol (08:07:22 PM) themayor_: hey im here (08:07:24 PM) themayor_: my connection sucks so i might be on and off (08:07:33 PM) iWolf: a portion of the meeting was over the budget. (08:07:42 PM) herlo: themayor_: who is themayor? Identify thyself (08:07:44 PM) iWolf: which I believe has been made rather public on the ambassador list. (08:07:55 PM) iWolf: so I think folks should be in the loop for the Q3 budget. (08:08:14 PM) iWolf: the other thing FAmSCo has been talking about is making sure we have guidelines for how we have been doing this year documented. (08:08:14 PM) inode0: that was jack (08:08:16 PM) ***themayor_ is jack aboutboul (08:08:27 PM) iWolf: so the later guys can not have to re-invent the wheel. (08:08:32 PM) herlo: iWolf: I was just thinking about that... (08:08:38 PM) jesolato: hi there herlo. i'm new here. i'll try my very best to keep up with everything you all are discussing. (08:08:55 PM) herlo: jesolato: welcome (08:09:08 PM) jesolato: thank you (08:09:35 PM) herlo: iWolf: one of the things I've been working on this week is processes. I'm nowhere near done, but I think I've a good idea of how our structure should be with regard to policy and procedure. (08:10:08 PM) iWolf: herlo: good, are you drafting it on the wiki? (08:10:25 PM) herlo: ke4qqq and I have been discussing it, not yet documented, but it will be (08:11:11 PM) herlo: iWolf: I'll add that as another task for me on the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA page (08:12:01 PM) iWolf: herlo: sounds good, processed can help make sure everyone is on the same page as to how things work. (08:12:24 PM) iWolf: from the FAmSCo side we are still working on getting things/guidelines documented, so nothing on the wiki either. (08:12:37 PM) iWolf: and that's pretty much it from the FAmSCo side unless someone has a question. (08:12:51 PM) herlo: iWolf: should that process be worldwide or NA based? (08:13:12 PM) herlo: the one I am documenting that is (08:13:38 PM) iWolf: Since things are becoming more regionalized I would tend to thing NA based. Though touching base with some of the other regional leads for ideas/sharing of thoughts probably wouldn't hurt. (08:14:05 PM) herlo: I suppose that is the points of famsco right, to touch base with all regions? (08:14:08 PM) iWolf: but some things will likely vary just due to different situations in different regions (i.e. Europe has the EMEA. (08:14:22 PM) iWolf: Yeah, FAmSCo' (08:14:31 PM) herlo: as I suspected :) (08:14:34 PM) iWolf: s goal is to make sure the regions are empowered. (08:14:47 PM) herlo: any other q's for famsco? (08:15:17 PM) herlo: moving on - Jack Aboutboul: Fedora outreach in the academic community (08:15:21 PM) themayor_: yup (08:15:23 PM) themayor_: thats me (08:15:30 PM) themayor_: you want me to give a general overview? (08:15:35 PM) gregdek_mit: Yes, please. :) (08:15:37 PM) herlo: sounds good. ke4qqq ?? (08:15:46 PM) ke4qqq: overview and I have some quesitons at the end (08:16:19 PM) themayor_: okay (08:16:26 PM) themayor_: so basically there are 3 fronts (08:16:32 PM) themayor_: 1st high schools (08:16:41 PM) themayor_: well the basic overview is this (08:17:01 PM) themayor_: we are trying to get more involved in the academic community (08:17:05 PM) themayor_: this is a two step process (08:17:24 PM) themayor_: first is getting the students and student bodies interested in open source (08:17:31 PM) themayor_: and second is getting faculty and staff interested (08:17:53 PM) themayor_: the reason for this are multiple but mainly, 1, to get people exposed to open source and working in the community as early as possible (08:18:07 PM) themayor_: 2, to help institutions refine how they teach computing and CS (08:18:20 PM) themayor_: so that kids have more exposure to open source and can so choose to use it (08:18:26 PM) themayor_: so we are going about this on 3 major fronts (08:18:30 PM) themayor_: 1st is outreach (08:18:38 PM) themayor_: high schools and colleges (08:18:39 PM) inigo_montoya is now known as mmcgrath (08:19:07 PM) themayor_: with high schools, i am talking to several of the top science and math high school in the country to get them to work with us to integrate some open source into the schools (08:19:25 PM) themayor_: at the least i am trying to work something out where their top cs students are getting exposed to open source (08:19:36 PM) jds2001: themayor_: any of them local here? (08:19:39 PM) themayor_: whether its through a hardware partnership to donate hardware to thr school, labs, etc (08:19:42 PM) themayor_: jds2001: yes (08:19:49 PM) themayor_: bronx science and stuyvesant (08:19:59 PM) themayor_: thats the high school angle (08:20:17 PM) themayor_: get kids curious, get teachers free stuff and a nice letter here and there and it will work itself out (08:20:27 PM) herlo: ? (08:20:39 PM) themayor_: its much easier to do this in high school and more beneficial to get kids at such an early age (08:20:52 PM) themayor_: sound good? (08:20:57 PM) herlo: If I have possible contacts for you, where should I send them... (08:21:03 PM) themayor_: jaa at redhat.com (08:21:10 PM) vwbusguy: themayor_, agreed. Microsoft and Apple are strong in that age group for a reason :) (08:21:16 PM) ***herlo writes that down (08:21:17 PM) themayor_: im looking, to start with not more than 20 schools (08:21:30 PM) themayor_: so far i have like 12 that are solid communicating with (08:21:37 PM) themayor_: so send them in (08:21:38 PM) LinuxKnight: do you have the ones decided yet (08:21:43 PM) themayor_: no not at all (08:21:44 PM) VileGent: everyone can make 10 livecds and take them to their local school (08:21:52 PM) themayor_: VileGent: not a good idea (08:21:57 PM) themayor_: thats not what we are looking to do (08:21:58 PM) LinuxKnight: i work for portland school district (08:22:05 PM) LinuxKnight: i can maybe add one or 2 of their HS (08:22:08 PM) themayor_: i mean you can do that if you want, but its not part of what im trying to do (08:22:16 PM) themayor_: okay well send me suggestions (08:22:22 PM) herlo: themayor_: have you looked at http://openhighschool.org/ this before? (08:22:28 PM) themayor_: yup (08:22:32 PM) themayor_: met the guy in portland (08:22:32 PM) herlo: there's also one in Richmond VA (08:22:39 PM) themayor_: yeah he mentioned to me (08:22:44 PM) themayor_: anyway, the free hardware is the kicker (08:22:53 PM) themayor_: especially if we can get each kid a free laptop to play with (08:22:55 PM) inode0: can you elaborate on "work with us" how? (08:23:16 PM) themayor_: basically let open source into the school (08:23:31 PM) themayor_: whether in the classroom or extra-curricularly (08:23:53 PM) themayor_: we want students to be exposed to this stuff and know it exists (08:23:59 PM) themayor_: alot dont right now (08:24:03 PM) themayor_: for whatever reason (08:24:11 PM) inode0: so something of a high school LUG might fall in here? (08:24:40 PM) themayor_: yeah something like that general idea, although those communities might be too small for a lug (08:24:43 PM) themayor_: but an interest group (08:24:45 PM) vwbusguy: themayor_, is working with OLPC and option? (08:24:48 PM) themayor_: you know, like a high school club (08:24:55 PM) inode0: yes (08:24:56 PM) themayor_: no im not working with olpc (08:25:09 PM) themayor_: i dont want to get into olpc with this just yet (08:25:14 PM) themayor_: i want a standard platform (08:25:17 PM) themayor_: x86 (08:25:19 PM) themayor_: simple (08:25:25 PM) themayor_: we dont want anything fancy (08:25:35 PM) themayor_: im working with shuttle on getting a promise for machines (08:25:51 PM) herlo: so here's a good question, how does this relate to ambassadors? (08:25:59 PM) themayor_: high school doesnt (08:26:04 PM) themayor_: the next thing does (08:26:15 PM) inode0: Is there something you can envision us doing at local high schools to "prime the pump?" (08:27:29 PM) themayor_: inode0: well if you are next to an elite science and math high school, call them up and see if they are interested and if they are chat them up a bit and give me the contact info and likewise with them (08:27:31 PM) themayor_: and by elite i mean elite (08:27:46 PM) themayor_: anyway, can i move on to the next channel? (08:27:55 PM) ke4qqq: yes by all means (08:27:57 PM) themayor_: okay (08:27:59 PM) inode0: I think out definitions might differ, so I dunno (08:28:10 PM) themayor_: so 2: college student body (08:28:23 PM) themayor_: this involves ambassadors (08:28:35 PM) themayor_: i am working on starting a campus version of ambassadors (08:28:44 PM) themayor_: similar to firefox campus rep program (08:29:47 PM) themayor_: the reasoning behind this and why i want it to be separate than ambassadors is that i think campuses have their own communities which are better served by a central person on campus (08:30:00 PM) themayor_: these guys have a few reposnsibilties (08:30:15 PM) themayor_: first and foremost to promote open source, and specifically fedora on campus (08:30:20 PM) themayor_: they need to be at campus events (08:30:29 PM) themayor_: lugs, ieee, acm, etc (08:30:53 PM) themayor_: they also will be required to give one open source related tech talk a semester (08:30:57 PM) themayor_: or make sure such event takes place (08:31:01 PM) themayor_: and that we are sponsors for it (08:31:31 PM) themayor_: also, they will be our interface with local staff and faculty (08:31:39 PM) themayor_: sound good? (08:31:52 PM) themayor_: any questions so far? (08:31:59 PM) ke4qqq: plenty (08:32:06 PM) themayor_: okay go (08:32:21 PM) ke4qqq: does this mean that we should back off of colleges?? (08:32:38 PM) themayor_: for the time being, no, but once things are in place, i would say yes (08:32:41 PM) ianwelle1 is now known as ianweller (08:32:42 PM) themayor_: meaning dont lose all contact (08:32:42 PM) ke4qqq: what are they getting in return for serving as a campus rep/campus ambassador. (08:32:48 PM) VileGent: themayor_, what about us ambassador who are already on college campuses (08:33:05 PM) themayor_: but if there are students there who can take over let them, they will feel more accomplished (08:33:11 PM) themayor_: VileGent: you mean already students? (08:33:33 PM) themayor_: ke4qqq: a bunch of schwag, money to sponsor events, fame and fortune! (08:33:34 PM) VileGent: i work at a uni, and i am heavily involved in the campus LUG (08:33:54 PM) ke4qqq: how do we, or do we at all coordinate/work with these guys once they are up and running? (08:34:01 PM) themayor_: well it depends on your area, for ambassadors already involved we dont want to displace anyone (08:34:04 PM) VileGent: themayor_, in facts i am one of the faculty advisors (08:35:13 PM) herlo: any other thoughts here? (08:35:23 PM) ke4qqq: well I have three campus visits lined up this semester - so I guess my question is, should I be recruiting a campus rep while I am there, and if so, do I/we have to mentor them or turn them over to you, or? (08:35:24 PM) VileGent: herlo yeah i dont like it (08:36:07 PM) themayor_: so if lets say you are currently at some uni and the local events happen mostly around that uni thats fine (08:36:07 PM) themayor_: but it will be hard for anyone at a uni who isnt a student to be involved in student clubs (08:36:07 PM) themayor_: so that will require a student (08:36:07 PM) themayor_: its a weird dichotomy, but i want to make sure we separate things as much as possible to minimize confusion and responsibilities (08:36:14 PM) ***quaid finally gets in , reads his buffer (08:36:19 PM) themayor_: shall i move on? (08:36:27 PM) themayor_: or did i get disconnected? (08:36:33 PM) herlo: no you are still here (08:36:39 PM) herlo: I'm still thinking (08:36:52 PM) herlo: but plesae move on if you wish (08:36:53 PM) ***ke4qqq doesn't think his question was answered (08:37:02 PM) themayor_: anyone? (08:37:07 PM) themayor_: okay so moving on (08:37:07 PM) quaid: we see you themayor_ (08:37:14 PM) herlo: themayor_: can you se us? (08:37:15 PM) gregdek_mit: Wait...? (08:37:18 PM) gregdek_mit: ke4qqq? (08:37:28 PM) themayor_: the third channel is university faculty (08:37:30 PM) jds2001: gregdek_mit: i see ya :) (08:37:30 PM) iWolf: we seem to have many ambassadors who are students, why move them from ambassadors to new campus ambassadors as opposed to working under the current ambassador framework? (08:37:32 PM) ke4qqq: themayor_: well I have three campus visits lined up this semester - so I guess my question is, should I be recruiting a campus rep while I am there, and if so, do I/we have to mentor them or turn them over to you, or? (08:37:32 PM) themayor_: this is a big one (08:37:57 PM) vwbusguy: iWolf, allow overlap? (08:38:34 PM) vwbusguy: I would hate to assume a "student" ambassador couldn't participate in non-college related events (08:38:46 PM) iWolf: vwbusguy: it just seems to me we cover more ground that way, with campus ambassadors being a special branch of ambassadors - perhaps with their own budget as well. (08:39:02 PM) herlo: ooh, more money :) (08:39:07 PM) iWolf: herlo: :) (08:39:30 PM) herlo: we can spend our time focusing on LUGs and events and not have to spread ourselves thin (08:40:20 PM) inode0: I'm also working at a university but think recruiting a student to lead some campus activities is likely a good thing for them as well (08:40:24 PM) herlo: themayor_: are you still there? (08:40:31 PM) vwbusguy: I would just like to see college students involved in regular ambassadors work too (08:40:40 PM) iWolf: herlo: yeah, for some of us who aren't involved with local colleges, but we have numerous current ambassadors who are students and would be great to spread fedora at a store. (08:40:59 PM) herlo: iWolf: a store? or a school? (08:41:18 PM) iWolf: herlo: oops. i meant school. (08:41:22 PM) iWolf: :) (08:41:23 PM) herlo: :) nw (08:41:28 PM) jds2001: a school is just a store that sells edjumacation :) (08:41:36 PM) herlo: tru dat (08:41:50 PM) ***herlo gradiated the fif grad (08:42:26 PM) themayor_: the purpose of this is to show faculty how it is beneficial for them to teach open source methodologies and tools to their students (08:42:26 PM) themayor_: so we've decided that we really need an infectious vector to get into this one (08:42:26 PM) themayor_: and what we've come to realize is that we really need to not try and change what teachers teach but show them that there are tools that will make things easy for them (08:42:27 PM) themayor_: and once the students see these tools they will get curious as to where they came from and it will lead them to open source (08:42:28 PM) herlo: looks like themayor_ is not seeing us and we're not seeing him (08:42:30 PM) themayor_: and really the truth is that CS education in the US is lacking (08:42:32 PM) themayor_: students arent exposed to a range of technologies that they are getting abroad (08:42:32 PM) herlo: oh, there he is... (08:42:34 PM) themayor_: students come out of college not knowing how to code using certain methodologies which any software company will need to retrain them for (08:42:37 PM) themayor_: google is seeing this problem (08:42:41 PM) themayor_: as well as obviously red hat and a bunch of other places (08:42:47 PM) themayor_: hey (08:42:51 PM) themayor_: wow i just typed for like 3 hours (08:42:55 PM) themayor_: let me cut and paste (08:43:17 PM) herlo: themayor_: we were still stuck back at point 2 (08:43:20 PM) themayor_: you guys see me now right? (08:43:23 PM) herlo: student ambassadors (08:43:24 PM) ke4qqq: yeah (08:43:29 PM) themayor_: sorry our internet is very crappy (08:43:39 PM) herlo: np, but we have q's for you there, iydm (08:44:22 PM) herlo: themayor_: ?? (08:45:10 PM) herlo: hmm, k, lets have him paste it in an email to f-a-l?? (08:45:19 PM) herlo: and move forward? (08:45:24 PM) ke4qqq: yeah I'll email my questions as well (08:45:27 PM) themayor_: hey (08:45:27 PM) themayor_: im still here (08:45:32 PM) herlo: oh, you are? (08:45:50 PM) gregdek_mit: themayor_: If you can see me, say "BOOYAH!" (08:45:54 PM) herlo: I think his intarwebs are vary slow... (08:45:56 PM) iWolf: mailing list would be great - best way to get it out in the open. (08:46:05 PM) gregdek_mit: +1 to mailing list. (08:46:20 PM) ***vwbusguy waves @ themayor_ (08:46:28 PM) herlo: I think that's a good choice due to his slow responses, poor latency +1 (08:46:53 PM) herlo: moving on? (08:46:56 PM) gregdek_mit: Moving on! (08:47:02 PM) themayor_: booyah (08:47:22 PM) herlo: Next topic - NA Goal review and reporting as it relates to events and activities (08:47:25 PM) VileGent: 2 minute lag there themayor_ (08:47:41 PM) herlo: themayor_: sorry, we have to move forward.. tasking you to email your idea from here (08:47:57 PM) themayor_: okay ill follow up everything in a few minutes to fedora-ambassadors-list (08:48:01 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: wanna take this one... (08:48:03 PM) inode0: thanks (08:48:06 PM) herlo: themayor_: thanks (08:48:30 PM) ke4qqq: sure - herlo and I worked on some goals that we think are achievable (08:48:34 PM) ***ke4qqq searches for link (08:49:19 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: they're all now off Ambassadors/NA (08:49:32 PM) herlo: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NorthAmerica/WDP (08:49:35 PM) ke4qqq: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NorthAmerica/WDP (08:50:25 PM) ke4qqq: we plan to take over the world. Essentially there isn't a lot new here except we want to have more people doing it, and track it better. More events (esp small events) (08:50:43 PM) ke4qqq: more reporting, more recruting (of ambassadors and other contributors) (08:51:09 PM) herlo: I think one of the things that came out of this and is a sub-item under this is the new Active Ambassadors page (08:51:12 PM) herlo: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Active (08:51:27 PM) ke4qqq: yes, and please add your info to that page. (08:52:01 PM) ke4qqq: but realistically at the moment we get swag we go out, and if we are lucky Fedora gets an email saying we gave it all away (08:52:21 PM) herlo: that's not good enough (08:52:24 PM) ke4qqq: and that's good - but I think we should be doing that.... (08:52:26 PM) ke4qqq: and more (08:52:56 PM) ke4qqq: we need to actively recruit - and then track those recruits - make sure they don't get lost with lack of purpose (08:52:58 PM) VileGent: so untill you have an event you are not considered active now (08:53:16 PM) ke4qqq: no, it's all about work - not events (08:53:31 PM) ke4qqq: are you hanging out in forums - acting as a liaison (08:53:34 PM) herlo: events are one way to show you are active, among others... (08:53:38 PM) inode0: #fedora is definitely active :) (08:53:39 PM) ke4qqq: are you recruting new people? (08:53:48 PM) VileGent: Below is a list of active North American Fedora Ambassadors broken down by region. If your name is not on this list, feel free to add it along with your last event report. (08:53:53 PM) ke4qqq: are you hanging out in #fedora and putting up with newbs... (08:53:57 PM) herlo: inode0: good point (08:54:12 PM) ke4qqq: are you showing up at events. (08:54:23 PM) herlo: VileGent: we want event reports, remember an event isn't just major conferences, it can be as simple as I helped X number of ppl this week in a simple blog post or email (08:54:32 PM) jtaber: I can attest herlo is following up with new recruits (08:54:34 PM) ***jds2001 notes that VileGent does a great job in #fedora (08:54:37 PM) gregdek_mit: This is an old saw. Are "events" the only "work" that Fedora ambassadors do? (08:54:50 PM) herlo: gregdek_mit: no way! (08:54:52 PM) VileGent: how many people in here help in #fedora (08:55:00 PM) ***jds2001 on occassion (08:55:04 PM) inode0: events has a conference connotation that is hard to shake (08:55:07 PM) ***vwbusguy raises hand (08:55:07 PM) herlo: VileGent: probably not enough, and we should all do our share (08:55:09 PM) VileGent: jds2001, vdl (08:55:11 PM) ***ianweller if he's feeling up to it (08:55:35 PM) VileGent: my other nick is Southern_Gentlem (08:55:36 PM) ke4qqq: but realistically there's no reason anyone can't do an event - be it talking to a small group (08:55:42 PM) ***herlo has a hard time in there with thi high signal-to-noise ratio, but thinks its a worthwhile effort. However, its only one way we can help (08:56:08 PM) herlo: VileGent: does it sound like we're being limiting? i don't want it to come across that way (08:56:16 PM) inode0: as many here probably promote fedora in #rhel (08:56:30 PM) ***jds2001 does that (08:56:33 PM) ke4qqq: VileGent: you sponsor a LUG at a college campus - I know you have events to report - people to recruit.....etc. (08:56:36 PM) ***quaid finally gets a good enough connection to finish reading the buffer (08:56:48 PM) VileGent: the wording on that page makes it sound very damg limiting (08:56:49 PM) ke4qqq: VileGent: what would your alternative wording be for this page? (08:57:03 PM) herlo: VileGent: sorry about that, we can fix that for sure... (08:57:43 PM) herlo: the thing is, we'd like to see your work product whatever it is, just a quick mention of what you are doing on your wiki page, an email, etc... (08:58:21 PM) ***ke4qqq knows that VileGent is active with a ton of stuff - but when FaMSCo goes to get us money for swag and other things - we want to show a ROI...... (08:58:27 PM) VileGent: herlo then say that (08:58:43 PM) herlo: FAmSCo is also asking for more in this regard, I have a task to prove it :) (08:58:55 PM) herlo: VileGent: can do (08:59:17 PM) VileGent: ke4qqq, i understand but in the greed for those funds dont make it that being an ambassador becomes a burueacraatic nitemare (08:59:33 PM) gregdek_mit: :) (08:59:37 PM) gregdek_mit: ROI is not absolute. (08:59:41 PM) gregdek_mit: But there are clear degrees. (08:59:49 PM) ke4qqq: and I am not saying log every question answered in #fedora - but at the same time don't let us have to hang out in #fedora to figure it out either. (08:59:55 PM) gregdek_mit: One thing that represents *awesome* ROI: local press coverage at events. (09:00:08 PM) VileGent: and thats the way i see things going (09:00:12 PM) inode0: you wouldn't have to hang out there for long (09:00:24 PM) herlo: gregdek_mit: right, which is part of what I was after. I can see that VileGent is correct however, and we need to be friendly to all sorts of help (09:00:35 PM) VileGent: laters (09:01:03 PM) gregdek_mit: VileGent: I'm not running you off, am I? :) (09:01:11 PM) inode0: some people are willing talkers, less willing writers (09:01:19 PM) VileGent: gregdek_mit, no (09:01:25 PM) quaid: what about if we talked for each other (09:01:30 PM) quaid: like karma (09:01:39 PM) quaid: to give each other props when we see people doing stuff, etc. (09:01:44 PM) inode0: +1 (09:01:52 PM) herlo: quaid: I like karma (09:02:06 PM) herlo: does the wiki have a way of providing this? Or can we write a plugin for it? (09:02:11 PM) herlo: I could see something like (09:02:14 PM) vwbusguy: herlo, I feel indifferent to it (09:02:15 PM) iWolf: even karma can miss active ambassadors. (09:02:18 PM) herlo: {{karma|herlo}} (09:02:27 PM) quaid: iWolf: ok, so ... (09:02:31 PM) iWolf: the idea of active ambassadors is a very touchy subject. (09:02:33 PM) quaid: i. talk about yourself (09:02:35 PM) quaid: ii. others talk about you (09:02:39 PM) quaid: what would be iii? (09:02:40 PM) ke4qqq: and always have been (09:02:42 PM) ke4qqq: has (09:02:55 PM) herlo: I don't think there's a way around that discussion, however (09:03:09 PM) herlo: we want people to be active and if they feel like their doing their part, that's all we ask (09:03:20 PM) herlo: but I'd like to share with them the desire to help them more (09:03:23 PM) iWolf: "active" is a loaded word. (09:03:24 PM) ke4qqq: there are almost 600 ambassadors - so being an ambassador by that definition isn't much. (09:03:33 PM) iWolf: ke4qqq: agreed. (09:03:36 PM) herlo: and to do that, we need to provide a way to prove that to famsco (09:03:58 PM) ke4qqq: even more importantly, we need to know who we can contact for help. (09:03:59 PM) herlo: iWolf: have a better phrasing? (09:04:06 PM) gregdek_mit: ! (09:04:07 PM) inode0: we only have 65 or so, right? not a large number (09:04:22 PM) ke4qqq: I've sent two dozen emails thus far - received 2 responses (09:05:00 PM) iWolf: herlo: i'm just saying I've seen how the active ambassador talk alienates folks. (09:05:06 PM) ke4qqq: gregdek_mit: ? (09:05:21 PM) gregdek_mit: It's all about defining terms and being willing to use them. (09:05:22 PM) iWolf: often times causing big frustration for valuable contributors. (09:05:26 PM) herlo: iWolf: agreed. I'm trying a better way to word it, but I can't think of any (09:05:35 PM) gregdek_mit: Why are people concerned about the notion of not being considered "active"? (09:05:47 PM) inode0: isn't (09:05:50 PM) gregdek_mit: I mean, we can set the bar pretty low. What's the problem, really? (09:05:53 PM) herlo: gregdek_mit: I think it comes down to the fact that we're trying to define it... (09:05:54 PM) quaid: what about just saying, if you want to be counted in this way, then stand up and say what you are doing, it helps us know how to plan budget, etc. (09:05:55 PM) ke4qqq: loss of status? (09:06:01 PM) vwbusguy: we talked about this last time (09:06:10 PM) ke4qqq: quaid: because in 6 months it all changes (09:06:15 PM) vwbusguy: if there's no contact for 2 months, they go inactive, right? (09:06:23 PM) quaid: ke4qqq: how do you mean? (09:06:26 PM) quaid: what I'm saying is (09:06:29 PM) iWolf: vwbusguy: not necessarily. (09:06:34 PM) quaid: create a simple metric process for those who care (09:06:39 PM) herlo: quaid: read my new statement https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Active (09:06:44 PM) iWolf: quaid: actually, that might be a good way to approach it. (09:06:47 PM) quaid: and the fact is, by being involved, they'll get more $ etc. (09:06:48 PM) vwbusguy: iWolf, general rule, I'm sure there's exceptions (09:06:59 PM) ke4qqq: we hjave 600 ambassadors who at one point stood up - now we have fewer than 50 who are standing up by my estimation (09:07:00 PM) herlo: quaid: rigth on, that's what I was going for... (09:07:03 PM) iWolf: quaid: just avoid the whole loaded word of "active" (09:07:04 PM) quaid: but if one doesn't want to do that, it doesn't mean they are out of the club. (09:07:08 PM) vwbusguy: iWolf, maybe it should be up to the regional ambassadors discretion (09:07:32 PM) ke4qqq: so if I say stand up == Active then we might as well just not distinguish (09:07:34 PM) herlo: vwbusguy: oh, I don't know, we're kind of self-appointed. nobody agreed to let us run this, we just did it (09:07:56 PM) iWolf: vwbusguy: i've seen what the active discussion triggers when it comes up - it is not pretty. (09:08:01 PM) herlo: and while I am happy to help, I can understand the frustration of some when change comes (09:08:04 PM) iWolf: now what quaid has suggested could be useful. (09:08:28 PM) iWolf: just say we want this info for budget planning and figuring the future out and not say anything about active/inactive. (09:08:44 PM) iWolf: at least we get some feedback that way without alienating contributors. (09:08:49 PM) ke4qqq: iwolf: so you make them do it once per quarter? (09:08:59 PM) herlo: iWolf: is this going to be a constant battle? (09:09:03 PM) herlo: if we dont (09:09:18 PM) iWolf: ke4qqq: i guess it depends on what we decide is the way to gather those numbers? (09:09:27 PM) vwbusguy: we either need to define 'active' or never mention it again ;) (09:09:45 PM) inode0: nice change herlo (09:09:52 PM) quaid: noisy/quiet? (09:09:54 PM) ke4qqq: gregdek_mit: ? (09:10:01 PM) iWolf: herlo: I think it will be a constant issue. Look at VileGent, we allknow he contributes in all sorts of ways. (09:10:04 PM) jtaber: I'm new here and may not know soemthing but how about something like an Ambassador news page where ambassoadors are encouraged to post their activities - then can see whos' doing what and acts as encouragement to do more - ie there's a N Texas LUG mtg next week with an hour installfest - is a Fedora person covering it ? If not I will with few DVD's (09:10:25 PM) gregdek_mit: jtaber: That should be the Fedora Events page. (09:10:39 PM) ke4qqq: jtaber: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events (09:10:46 PM) iWolf: but whenever we talk active/inactive he will rebel against it. There are several others like him. and then there are silent members who contribute in valuable ways who might also rebel against the active/inactive discussion. (09:10:53 PM) herlo: vwbusguy: and not everyone will be happy with the defintion, but I guess its a meritocracy, so if you like waht we're doing, help us, if not, let it be (09:10:56 PM) inode0: allow the individual ambassador to add themselves, that act is enough for me, and encourage them to share some of what they do (09:11:05 PM) herlo: or change it (09:11:09 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: for how long? (09:11:14 PM) jtaber: well maybe, but isnt' that for much larger events than posting that I gave a lunch talk, blahs.. (09:11:18 PM) herlo: well, this discussion went *way* over time (09:11:19 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: they did add themselves originally (09:11:29 PM) ke4qqq: jtaber: no, it's supposed to be for 'everything' (09:11:39 PM) inode0: yes, and I'm in no hurry as I said last week to cleanse them from there either (09:11:42 PM) ***herlo votes we move to the next topic and ke4qqq and I will come up with topics (09:11:44 PM) vwbusguy: herlo, I just want to throw out there that if we draw a line it should be clear (09:11:57 PM) herlo: vwbusguy: agreed, moving forward? (09:12:03 PM) ***ke4qqq doesn't want that responsibility - to the mailing list? (09:12:23 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: k, but what I meant was topics to discuss (09:12:25 PM) herlo: not decide (09:12:28 PM) BobJensen: Active / Inactive, do away with them ALL and start over with a clean slate and a clear mission... <-- Former Ambassador and Former Steering Committee Member (09:12:31 PM) herlo: so mailing list sounds good to me (09:12:38 PM) vwbusguy: yeah, but i need to go to bed now. I'll leave this on so I can read the rest of the meeting tomorrow. Night. (09:12:41 PM) gregdek_mit: Onething. (09:12:55 PM) iWolf: vwbusguy: g'night! (09:13:00 PM) gregdek_mit: The *one* valuable purpose for differentiating between "active" and "inactive" ambassadors... (09:13:17 PM) gregdek_mit: ...is to allow the leaders to know who to talk to. (09:13:23 PM) ke4qqq: +1 (09:13:26 PM) gregdek_mit: But if the leaders already have a sense for that... (09:13:34 PM) herlo: BobJensen: +1 (09:13:36 PM) iWolf: i think the leaders have to rely on a sense of that. (09:13:53 PM) gregdek_mit: ...if the leaders already have that sense, then the notion of "active" really isn't necessary. (09:13:57 PM) iWolf: I have contibutors here who help me for release parties and OLF, but aren't active on the ambassadors list. (09:14:03 PM) gregdek_mit: It's just a way of helping yourselves out. (09:14:05 PM) jds2001: i.e. who shows up to these meetings, etvc (09:14:08 PM) ***herlo doesn't feel like he has any clue except a few main folk (09:14:10 PM) BobJensen: An ambassador that lives in a 30 person town may appear inactive by some standards, what makes them less valuable in that smaller setting? (09:14:11 PM) iWolf: I couldn't do what I do without them, though many would perceive them as inactive. (09:14:19 PM) ***ke4qqq echoes herlo's feeling (09:14:20 PM) iWolf: BobJensen: exactly! (09:14:52 PM) gregdek_mit: So. (09:14:56 PM) BobJensen: This is the exact reason I walked away from this crap over a year ago, good luck (09:14:58 PM) iWolf: herlo: ke4qqq: you'll get a better feel as you maintain these regional leader positions. at least for folks you can count on. (09:14:59 PM) herlo: I think there are two main problems here (09:15:40 PM) herlo: one - this is a new group of leadership, and we're learning. I am going to make an effort to help, but I need help too (09:16:24 PM) quaid: how about a list of names -- bug me/don't bug me (09:16:37 PM) quaid: the bug me people want to be bugged about shit, the don't bug me don't (09:16:45 PM) quaid: so there is no value placed in the terms, etc. (09:16:56 PM) quaid: or, whatever, pick two other neutral terms, move on (09:16:59 PM) herlo: and two - some way of tracking this data must exist at least in an informal way (09:17:51 PM) herlo: quaid: not horrible, if they wanted to report something, are they a bug me? (09:17:59 PM) quaid: herlo: right (09:18:08 PM) BobJensen: Oh and one other thing, all ambassadors and the leadership can learn a lot from the European ambassadors, they work together better than any community I have ever seen. (09:18:15 PM) iWolf: use the ambassador m-l to bug people. the people that want to be bugged will respond. (09:18:23 PM) iWolf: the ones who don't won't respond. (09:18:29 PM) gregdek_mit: BobJensen: Except for the French. And the ones who don't like each other. ;) (09:18:37 PM) quaid: it's like ... "We are putting together this organziation to spend money and move event kits around, if you want to be part of it, speak up." (09:19:08 PM) herlo: quaid: is that a bad thing? (09:19:22 PM) quaid: herlo: no, that is good, and hopefully not offensive (09:19:23 PM) gregdek_mit: I think that's the way to go. (09:19:28 PM) herlo: mind you, we're learning here. I'm looking to glean from you guys (09:19:33 PM) herlo: quaid: I rarely get offended (09:19:35 PM) ke4qqq: +1 quaid (09:19:44 PM) iWolf: herlo: no, its a fine thing, notice though with his way we don't alienate "inactive" ambassadors who really are working in their own way. (09:19:55 PM) quaid: herlo: no, I mean, unoffensive like the active.inactive stuff (09:20:02 PM) herlo: iWolf: I guess I want to see what's out there, and maybe that will just take time? (09:20:27 PM) herlo: thing is, we have an aggressive plan to put into place already and think its a good plan (09:20:46 PM) ***ke4qqq doesn't think that hurts the WDP (09:20:55 PM) iWolf: herlo: it takes time, for those of us who have been around for a bit, we've seen how messy the active/inactive discussions get. avoiding those labels in manners that quaid has suggested would be good. (09:20:56 PM) herlo: I can move to a 'less invasive' plan, but we'll still want to know who's in what state/province (09:20:57 PM) ke4qqq: we've just eliminated two words from the vocab (09:21:15 PM) ***herlo moves the page name to List from Active (09:21:18 PM) iWolf: herlo: you'll learn that over time. (09:21:21 PM) inode0: the map is excellent, wants to keep it too (09:21:55 PM) ke4qqq: infrastructure was talking about a new map using coords from FAS, might be interesting in the future to give citylevel view (09:22:27 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: I'd love to have that (09:22:37 PM) herlo: moving on? (09:22:42 PM) iWolf: herlo: +1 (09:22:45 PM) ke4qqq: so we don't use inactive/active move on (09:22:51 PM) inode0: with a goal to hit every state this is a good resolution to start with I think (09:22:57 PM) herlo: btw, this was supposed to be an evetns meeting :) (09:23:23 PM) herlo: new page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Regions (09:23:35 PM) herlo: I'll fix the linking later on... (09:23:42 PM) BobJensen: Oh I have an event, I am helping a buddy upgrade from F7 - F9 on sunday at his house, want to put that on your list? (09:23:51 PM) herlo: Events in NA. (09:24:01 PM) herlo: BobJensen: no, but you do :) (09:24:17 PM) BobJensen: herlo: No, I do not, I am simply making a point (09:24:38 PM) quaid: are you? (09:24:45 PM) ***herlo doesn't see it (09:24:51 PM) herlo: I think that's a valid event (09:24:52 PM) ***ke4qqq doesn't either (09:25:05 PM) gregdek_mit: BobJensen: are you asking for resources? Help? (09:25:09 PM) LinuxKnight: an issue of scope it sounds like (09:25:15 PM) inode0: it may be a valid event but hardly anyone would want to bother reporting it (09:25:21 PM) gregdek_mit: What is the purpose of reporting an event? (09:25:25 PM) ***quaid smells a red herring (09:25:26 PM) gregdek_mit: From my perspective... (09:25:32 PM) BobJensen: I am not an ambassador, yet this small "event" is also important to fedora and a lot of members of the community including ambassadors do these things. (09:25:36 PM) herlo: if you don't feel its worth your time to add to the list, that's okay, but maybe a short blog post about how cool it was to get his F9 up and running for him? (09:25:47 PM) herlo: BobJensen: +1 (09:25:51 PM) ke4qqq: and hopefully aggregated on the planet? (09:26:10 PM) iWolf: gregdek_mit: right now, if an ambassador received fedora $$$ for an event it is a requirement to report it. (09:26:31 PM) quaid: BobJensen: do you feel that all this regional planning somehow detracts from the importance of such things as helping a buddy upgrade? (09:28:21 PM) ***quaid smells a red herring that has fallen into the weeds (09:28:25 PM) jtaber: I think I understand Bob's point - maybe small scale stuff should be blogged about (ie lunch talk) - bigger stuff (ie gathering type events reported on events) (09:28:49 PM) ***herlo has no problem with this.. (09:28:56 PM) inode0: or is it that non-ambassadors are somehow left out? (09:29:10 PM) BobJensen: quaid: No but helping in this way with out large or even small group events in my area left me feeling alienated from the group when I was even on the SC (09:29:23 PM) herlo: iWolf: correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the requirement that it somehow be reported? Blog or email? or is it both? (09:29:27 PM) ke4qqq: non-ambassadors don't receive funding or swag or media. (09:29:37 PM) ke4qqq: herlo: email to m-l (09:29:57 PM) inode0: neither do most ambassadors in my short experience (09:30:01 PM) ***jds2001 thought blog aggregrated on planet (09:30:02 PM) ***herlo points out that every contributor *is* an ambassador when they talk with others who they'd like to be a part of Fedora (09:30:18 PM) iWolf: herlo: yes, if you receive funds it is required to report to the m-l and a blog post that is aggregated to planet. (09:30:29 PM) herlo: both it is! (09:30:33 PM) _sj_: herlo: +1 (09:30:39 PM) ke4qqq: moving on? (09:31:00 PM) ***herlo has some things to revamp, but is excited for the new developments (09:31:04 PM) herlo: next topic (09:31:13 PM) herlo: Events in NA. (09:31:26 PM) herlo: first previous events, who was at Lindependence (09:31:30 PM) herlo: ooh and LWE too (09:32:11 PM) herlo: I'd like to know what was good and what was bad at these events so we can do better with the Fedora booth at future events... (09:32:28 PM) quaid: I was at Lindependence; Larry is at the ball game tonight watching the Giants murder the Braves (AIUI), so he cannot report (09:32:40 PM) quaid: we did some traffic to the list on that, do you want a recap of that? (09:32:46 PM) quaid: or ... something more distilled? (09:33:06 PM) ke4qqq: no more of what we could have done to have a better presence (09:33:07 PM) herlo: a succinct email would be nice maybe? (09:33:23 PM) ke4qqq: for instance - a wireless AP (09:33:27 PM) ke4qqq: which I didn't see in the email (09:33:30 PM) herlo: but yeah, about things you did to prepare that worked well and things that didn't (09:33:33 PM) ke4qqq: or maybe that was oscon (09:33:38 PM) quaid: I see, yeah (09:33:53 PM) quaid: do we have an event report checklist? suggestions on what to cover in a report? (09:34:00 PM) ***ke4qqq will be happy with an email (09:34:13 PM) ke4qqq: no but it sounds like a great task - shall I add that for you quaid? (09:34:16 PM) ke4qqq: :) (09:34:18 PM) iWolf: quaid: yes. (09:34:47 PM) iWolf: quaid: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ReportingGuidelines (09:34:49 PM) zodbot: (at fedoraproject.org) (09:35:09 PM) quaid: ah, thx (09:35:54 PM) quaid: I still owe my OSCON report, so I can go hit it with that format (09:36:05 PM) quaid: and do the same for what I know of Lindependence and LWCE (09:36:07 PM) herlo: quaid: you rock (09:36:15 PM) inode0: ! (09:36:24 PM) ***ke4qqq doesn't know that what could be done better is in the guidelines but will edit for that shortly (09:36:31 PM) BobJensen: herlo: quaid always rocks (09:36:49 PM) herlo: BobJensen: sure sure, agreed (09:37:10 PM) BobJensen: GN and Good luck all (09:37:15 PM) quaid: ciao BobJensen (09:37:20 PM) quaid: inode0: ? (09:37:23 PM) inode0: FAD @ OLF? Still being considered? (09:37:50 PM) gregdek_mit: Looks like I need to get out. I'm being kicked out. :) (09:37:57 PM) iWolf: inode0: yes, i've just been slow to get that post out. (09:37:58 PM) jds2001: lol (09:38:04 PM) herlo: iWolf: I'd like to request an additional requirement / suggestion for the ReportingGuidelines if I may (09:38:06 PM) iWolf: inode0: totally, my fault and still on my list. (09:38:09 PM) quaid: gregdek_mit: we had that, but we went upstairs to hide :) (09:38:43 PM) herlo: iWolf: in the email to f-a-l coudl we have a little 'what I liked' and 'what I didn't like' section about how things went? (09:39:02 PM) iWolf: herlo: that sounds fair to me and offers a way for others to learn from someone elses experiences. (09:39:39 PM) herlo: right, and I think it should be a suggestion though...I'd like it as a requirement, but I don't know that it will be a good idea... (09:40:09 PM) herlo: okay, so we're tasking quaid and lcafiero with event reports if not already done right? (09:40:17 PM) iWolf: herlo: with the reporting guidelines we tried not to make it *too* formal, mainly a list of things to help get one started with their event report. (09:40:42 PM) herlo: iWolf: fair enough (09:40:47 PM) ke4qqq: oscon? were reports passed about it - I may have missed them. (09:41:00 PM) iWolf: herlo: we can always push for that info in blog comments or replies to m-l posts though. (09:41:06 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: I think quaid said he was behind (09:41:08 PM) iWolf: herlo: as i agree its good info and good feedback. (09:41:21 PM) herlo: iWolf: I'll do that in the future. quaid watch out man :) (09:41:23 PM) LinuxKnight: ke4qqq, i posted a quick blurb about OSCON but not a big formal thing (09:41:41 PM) ***ke4qqq will look in his mail shortly for it (09:41:53 PM) herlo: moving forward then? (09:42:12 PM) ke4qqq: yes (09:42:23 PM) herlo: UTOSC is coming up at the end of the month, this is my event. I've been given funds to do with what I wish. How do most of you spend your moneys (09:42:40 PM) quaid: not lcafiero, he did his duty I think (09:42:51 PM) herlo: stickster_afk suggested that I use much of it to fly in and/or lodging for non-local ambassadors (09:43:06 PM) herlo: and the rest for posters, stickers and what-not. Is this pretty normal? (09:43:11 PM) gregdek_mit: IME, yes. (09:43:19 PM) ke4qqq: hmmmm (09:43:21 PM) herlo: I've got hundresds of Media (09:43:53 PM) herlo: and I'd like to experiment with ambassador kits so I'll probably purchase tshirts a plenty as well... (09:43:55 PM) iWolf: herlo: i think it depends on how many ambassadors you have. to me, travel expenses to get lots of ambassadors to a booth isn't necessarily the best use of money - just my opinion though. (09:44:31 PM) herlo: iWolf: how would you use it? I've got Paul and Jared, I won't really be available because I am also the organizer of this event (09:44:37 PM) iWolf: herlo: for OLF we rely on ambassadors that make it there on their own. we had 3 ambassadors the first year we did it and like 7 the following year. (09:44:59 PM) iWolf: herlo: we went the t-shirt route, stickers and some flyers the first year we did it. (09:45:28 PM) iWolf: herlo: I think we had around 75 t-shirts, 1000 stickers and then Max had hooked us up with lots of media. (09:45:46 PM) ke4qqq: iwolf but media becomes our responsibility in q3 (09:45:52 PM) herlo: iWolf: okay, maybe I'll save enough for that sort of thing then. I've got one guy who's not an ambassador who's local too, maybe I'll get him a fedora t to wear. (09:46:21 PM) iWolf: herlo: I did that our first year too, I had a guy who was not an ambassdor work the booth, he was great and is now an ambassador. (09:46:28 PM) herlo: okay, thanks for the ideas. Looking forward to the next reports to help learn... (09:46:38 PM) herlo: iWolf: I hope he'll come on board. Seems excited (09:46:40 PM) ***_sj_ is away... 'night all (09:46:52 PM) ***jds2001 heads to bed too (09:46:55 PM) herlo: moving on (09:46:59 PM) jds2001: been working since 6AM (09:47:04 PM) iWolf: jds2001: g'night! (09:47:07 PM) herlo: that's it actually, any other discussions we should be having? (09:47:25 PM) quaid: hmm, one other thing, but it's a bit late for discussion on it :) (09:47:30 PM) quaid: so i could bring it to the list (09:47:36 PM) quaid: the short of it is, (09:47:39 PM) inode0: throw it out at least :) (09:47:55 PM) quaid: I want this LWCE to be the _last_ event (09:48:11 PM) quaid: that is decided by fiat or because RHT budgeted it or somethng. (09:48:33 PM) quaid: over the years ,because I think RHT is based in NA, shows have been overshadowed by their 'help' (09:48:50 PM) ke4qqq: +1 (09:49:07 PM) quaid: so my thing is, I want us to wipe the slate on shows (09:49:27 PM) quaid: say there is nothing that is an automatic "In" without going through the NA regional + FAMSCo process (09:49:53 PM) quaid: next year, I expect to be arguing for budget for LWCE v. figuring we'll just be there. (09:50:00 PM) quaid: does that make sense? (09:50:08 PM) ke4qqq: yes (09:50:10 PM) inode0: is sympathetic - does Red Hat approve? (09:51:36 PM) quaid: inode0: well, that's sort of the thing ... no one really "owns" this at RHT outside of gregdek_mit, jack, max, myself, harish, sankarshan, etc. (09:51:45 PM) herlo: quaid: I'd encourage that sort of thinking. We're doing what we can to become independent and use the money we get responsibly. LWE seems to be an event that Fedora Ambassadors can plan and run (09:52:14 PM) quaid: herlo: right, and it's e.g. my job to help coordinate *if* RHT is there and could e.g. ship some stuff for us from Raleigh, etc. (09:52:16 PM) inode0: then Red Hat seems sympathetic too (09:52:17 PM) herlo: is there a big hurdle here we have to jump? (09:52:29 PM) quaid: herlo: for LWE? (09:52:48 PM) herlo: sure, or any other event in this same boat (save RHS) (09:52:54 PM) quaid: inode0: yeah, I think EMEA/APAC/LATAM success has shown where the "how to" is at :) (09:53:18 PM) quaid: herlo: I think the one show that is RHT's to run is the FUDCon, as that is RHT's gift back to the community (09:53:44 PM) herlo: what about RedHat Summit? don't Fedora members go to this a bit too? (09:54:07 PM) inode0: especially now but they always did (09:54:11 PM) herlo: but I'm happy they give back... (09:55:03 PM) quaid: herlo: sure, FUDCon + Summit is a fairly fixed ideal, although as we see it's not the only place for a FUDCon. (09:55:05 PM) inode0: sounds like general agreement in principle then (09:55:15 PM) quaid: ok, cool (09:55:20 PM) herlo: quaid: which is why I separated them... (09:55:25 PM) herlo: but yes, I digress (09:55:32 PM) herlo: any other issues to discuss?

Ambassador meetings are happening again, planning for the North American region is happening and a lot of this is being driven forward by the North American regional leaders - David Nalley, Clint Savage and John Rose. As part of this, we would like to suggest a North American Fedora Ambassadors Day to coincide with the Ohio Linux Fest [1] on the weekend of October 10th and 11th in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio Linux Fest seems to attract several Fedora folks and is centrally located to help minimize travel time and costs for people to attend on their own. A Fedora Ambassadors Day offers a great way for high bandwidth, face-to-face discussion to really help move things forward and plan the upcoming year. The European ambassadors have been holding FADs and been very successful in their efforts. We will be adding a FAD page soon to help track who can attend, but we wanted to get the idea out there so people can be thinking about it and make suggestions as needed. Thanks!

Feel free to ask India responsible Snakarshan Mukhopadhyay and Rahul Sundaram and the other APAC communities member. It's important this touch and feel experience and I'm pretty sure it could be a success. When you talk about "Fedora Commitee" are you talking about Fedora Board or FAmSCo? For the second one i can forward this mail to FAmSCo list to see if someone is available, personally I can't be able to take part of the initiative due to another trip planned (FUDCon). If you are talking about Fedora Board (the most probable thing you wanted), I can't say anything, but you can try to ask them.

This sounds very interesting. I did note that no times are specified. Can we as a list or you as an organizer come to a decision on scheduling FAD at OLF? I know many people want to attend events at OLF and many will have to make flight plans accordingly.

But as you said that you are busy, please check if anyone from FamSCo can make it. If they can, We'll be more than delighted to have them at our college. We also have a technical fest called SWATANTRA based on open source projects, and during SWATANTRA'05, Richard Stallman himself came to the college . This time,(SWATANTRA'08) i am planning on pulling lots of Fedora Board people to come here. But this one is just an event which would be a 1-2 day disscussion spree and all of our LUG would be here to receive you people. So, i also wish the Fedora board people can turn up but this is a smaller scale and i initially imagined it for only the ambassadors and FamSCo people. However, We will be more than deligted if the board turns up. Please see what you can do about the issue. P.S My college has People who question the Speaker a lot. No Kiddin, seriously lots of silly questions do pop up. Thanks a ton.

Feel free to contact me and we can discuss what needs to be done. In general, what would scale well is local ambassadors become recognized contributions within their region and lead, mentor other new contributions but if there isn't anyone already present who can do that just yet, I can help kickstart that.

About the contributions, i dint exactly get what you were talking about. Is it their time to come over here or other materialistic factors?. Either ways, we can figure out a solution. Regarding Local ambassadors, We will be sending all the ambassadors a private message once the dates are finalized. I've heard that you are most active on the fedora list. So, can you also help through the process. Suggest a few names of people interested in coming over to our college, for the event. As i already said, the event is mainly a discussion type. Need good speakers.

I would be very enchanted very much to help you in all you need. Is very important and needed spread the Fedora Project to our countries, Portugal and Spain, (because as you know the Fedora Project isn't known here), and I can help you in all that you need :D. In Spain already exist one Fedora web, but it is very poor... is very needed that these web works good for the Fedora spanish consumers, because it is still very incomplete. I would be very enchanted if you like contact me for talk about this, and if you accept my help. You can found my personal profile in the Ambassadors Country List. Thanks of new.

However, for a first run, a design of a fold together box would be *exactly* what we wanted. Ryan, thanks for picking this up and running with it. Let us know how we can help. Also, the Italian Ambassadors have been working on a similar project which I am trying to collaborate. Maybe we'll have more demand for the boxes and such.

Massao! What a good surprise! :-D I'm pretty glad to see you joining Fedora Ambassadors team. One more ambassador that came to Fedora through the Revista Fedora Brasil magazine! :-) Alas, since we started working in Revista Fedora Brasil we are experiencing an impressive growing of the Brazilian Fedora community. We are about to release the 3th issue and our team has over 30 members at the moment and Massao is at least the 3th of these members to become a Fedora Ambassador. It's important point that many people who contribute to the magazine were/are not Fedora users, like Massao over here, who was a Debian user, and Guilherme "Razgriz", who was an Ubuntu and OpenSUSE user. I'm going to build and publish some statistics and results achieved until now by the Revista Fedora Brasil SIG. But I need to say I'm sure proud about we have done, happy about we are doing and hopeful about what we can do. :-) Again, welcome to the Fedora's family, Massao. :-D Best wishes, -- Davidson Paulo Linux System Administrator LPI Certified Level 1: LPI000132770 Revista Fedora Brasil, Editor-In-Chief Fedora Project, Ambassador http://daveandnaty.blogspot.com/ http://davidsonenatalia.blogspot.com/ From luca at foppiano.org Sun Aug 10 19:46:58 2008 From: luca at foppiano.org (Luca Foppiano) Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2008 21:46:58 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: [Linux Day Italy] Fedora Distribution Kit In-Reply-To: References: <1218354051.3370.70.camel@sboing.byte-code.lan> Message-ID: <1218397618.3512.12.camel@sboing.byte-code.lan> On Sun, 2008-08-10 at 08:49 -0600, Clint Savage wrote: > I think your idea is along the same lines of an idea I submitted last > week.

Nick, We typically set our events schedule (and budget for events) on the 1st of the month preceding the start of each quarter. The whole list of events is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents What that means is that -- for the most part -- our schedule and budget for September through October have been set. Nevertheless, I'm going to send this around to the Fedora Ambassadors mailing list to see if anyone in the Atlanta area might be available to come speak. I'm not sure whether we will have any funds for schwag, but first let's see if we can get some people coverage for the event. -- Paul W.

There's been quite some progress, going on pretty slow - but then stopped at some time, I wouldn't know why. The last meeting has been in April[2]. 4 possible distributors have been considered[3]. According to the histories of those pages, there's been no progress since the wiki-change in late May anyway. Maybe you should consider asking Jeffrey Tadlock about the efforts and the current status. He might have given up because he was more or less the only person in the SIG doing something to reach the targets.

The goal is simply to make sure that when you are at a show, and someone signs up for Fedora, you have a way of (1) capturing the fact that they signed up at that particular show, and (2) having some way of connecting them to yourself or another Ambassador (as appopriate) to help find them a way to help in Fedora that makes them happy. -- Paul W.

[snip] As an alternative to spending on a member from the Fedora Committee(s) or Boards, you could consider having a video conference. Paul did that for the NIT Calicut meet and by all reports it was a success. Additionally, there are a significant number of developers and contributors to Fedora out of India who would be an excellent resource pool to talk, demonstrate and share insights into Fedora as a project and as a community.

Alright first up FAmSCo ..... iWolf? < iWolf> The meeting last week was canceled due to lack of attendance. Several of the famsco members were out of town or away on vacation last week. < iWolf> We should be meeting tomorrow at our normally scheduled time: 20:00UTC < iWolf> so no status change, happy to answer questions though. < herlo> okay, what do we have for FAMSCo needing approval? < iWolf> or add items to the famsco agenda if need be :) < ke4qqq> hearing nothing, can we move on? < herlo> so say we all < ke4qqq> moving on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA < iWolf> fine with me, you can always ping me later or email if something comes up. < ke4qqq> check out the task list * inode0 waves < ke4qqq> inode0: herlo: me: report on contacting people < ke4qqq> where do we stand < herlo> ke4qqq: who has texas? is that me? < herlo> if so, I have another to add for the Dallas metro area < kulll> zzz < ke4qqq> inode0: is tx iirc < inode0> I went through the list and decided to send our personal mail rather than form mail, have contacted about half < inode0> there are 3 in TX iirc < ke4qqq> inode0: what kind of response? < herlo> I will be sending him a bunch of LiveCDs shortly < herlo> he's coming up for UTOSC... < herlo> inode0: are you TX? < inode0> yes, and yes there are 3 that I know of in TX < herlo> inode0: sure, but this is a new person, not someone who previously existed < herlo> inode0: k, I'll put him under your jurisdiction < inode0> name? < herlo> John Taber, he was here last couple weeks < inode0> I have him on my list already < herlo> he has a wiki page < herlo> okay < herlo> he's really new < herlo> I have a bunch of LiveCDs set up for him. He'll be teaching at UNT or SMU < inode0> and I should get the rest of the mail out this week, will report numbers next week * ke4qqq has finished sending emails - but precious little response < inode0> lots of empty space in the central US < herlo> I've only heard back from 3, 2 of which wanted in and are here. < herlo> the other was happy, but couldn't dedicate time... < inode0> 8 states with no ambassadors < herlo> inode0: if that's all... < inode0> translates to new opportunities * herlo needs to update the map < herlo> inode0: the plan is to get major cities too < herlo> and rislam, do you have anything for canadia? < ke4qqq> so how are we going to target those non-ambassador states < inode0> which major cities in South Dakota do you mean? :) * ke4qqq notes that we need to add rislam to that task < herlo> inode0: lol, uh Bismark? < rislam> nothing much < herlo> or is that ND? < herlo> must be Pierre < rislam> but there is 2 event going on at ottawa and toronto < herlo> ooh, great. Are they on the event list? * herlo looks < rislam> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents < rislam> yes they are already < herlo> w00t! < rislam> i try to attend the toronto symposium on October < rislam> Greg is also there with his speech. < ke4qqq> outstanding - alright hopefully we'll get all of the existing ambassadors contacted by end of the month.....shall we move to the next task? < ke4qqq> herlo care to update us on event kits and shipping and stuff? < ke4qqq> don't want to still the thunder from the other agenda item but it is a task? < ke4qqq> s/still/steal < herlo> ke4qqq: I'd like to start off with proper naming conventions < herlo> its EventBox for Events * ke4qqq slaps his own hand < herlo> and AmbassadorKit for Ambassadors at ad-hoc events < herlo> or random meetings < herlo> The plan for AmbassadorKits which I don't have fully layed out is to have the following * ianweller lurks < herlo> One DIY box / container < herlo> holding 5-10 CDs/DVDs < herlo> a tshirt or two < herlo> and 4 or 5 Fedora labeled USB sticks < rislam> tshirt: 1 is owesome but 2 is perfect < herlo> all wrapped in a nice shrink wrapped package < inode0> can we squeeze in some stickers and buttons too? < herlo> inode0: absolutely, just forgot to mention them < herlo> the price per unit is around $40 < rislam> is it on $USD < herlo> we need to get that price down just a little to make it cost effective < herlo> rislam: yes < iWolf> herlo: you have prices on the usb sticks? < herlo> iWolf: not yet < inode0> those are likely the expensive part < herlo> but I have a general idea that those will be the most costly part * ke4qqq could live without USB drives < herlo> so for the first round, we may not ship those, but I think liveUSB is essential < stickster> Guys, I'm still unclear on where these come from? < stickster> How do they get replenished? < ke4qqq> from the regional ambassadors < stickster> Is that where RHT funding for an event goes? < herlo> stickster: hold on, getting to that < stickster> herlo: Ah, OK, sorry < herlo> but to answer sticksters questions < stickster> herlo: Go at your own pace, ignore me < herlo> the items will come from a Media distributor, which ke4qqq and I have been working on < herlo> as well, tshirts are needed, I've ordered a bunch from screenprinters on the FedoraResources page < herlo> i think if they do a good job, we could start getting those from there < herlo> or do a piecemeal distribution < herlo> from a spreadshirt like store < herlo> as far as replenishment, we believe it would be good to get them built up once a quarter and have them at the regional ambassadors location < herlo> as far as monetary requirement, I feel liek this should not affect the event budget but rather either have its own budget or come from discretionary funds... < herlo> does that help stickster < herlo> thoughts? < gregdek> Yep. < stickster> herlo: Somewhat. < ke4qqq> this is essentially how gregdek and spevack have been handling things < ke4qqq> but it's been all back channel < herlo> this is still an unfleshed out idea btw, getting closer, however < stickster> At the end of the day, though, the money for these kits comes out of the same pot as everything else. < ke4qqq> big events get funding - the rest ask greg or max for media and swag and get it. < stickster> So if we spend, say, $1K on all the kits, that's $1K less for the event pool. < ke4qqq> yes and we will have to probably do more like EMEA and manage more of the funding rather than have it allocated to specific events < iWolf> ke4qqq: i beleive a fair amount of that is left over stuff from events already budgeted. < inode0> stickster: this is part of the event pool too < ke4qqq> iWolf: I have no doubt about that. < stickster> inode0: But herlo said, " I feel liek this should not affect the event budget but rather either have its own budget or come from discretionary funds" < stickster> So I just wanted to clarify that. < inode0> these will support ambassadors at local events so I think of it as event support < herlo> stickster: according to the Q3 budget I saw, we have a $500 budget in discretionary funds < herlo> split 4 ways, that $125 each region in the NA < herlo> which means about 3 AmbassadorKits per quarter < iWolf> there isn't really enough in the kit to support an event though, right? I few LiveCDs, a t-shirt and maybe a USB key? < herlo> its not intended for an eVENT < herlo> oops < herlo> capslock on < iWolf> :) < inode0> that old definition of event problem again < herlo> right < herlo> Events use EventBox < iWolf> okay, forget I said event. < herlo> AmbassadorKits are for ad-hoc items. Chance meetings, something more inforal < ke4qqq> plus events would get funding < herlo> informal < herlo> we're trying to change that definition for sure. :) < inode0> I give a talk to 25 people at a local NPO - whether that is an event or not that is the sort of thing this can be used for and it wouldn't consume all of it I don't think < iWolf> i would think you would go through the kit for 25 people, < herlo> inode0: it probably would, but you could do that once a quarter and we could easily ship you another prefabbed package < iWolf> but, i may be wrong. < inode0> you could but you wouldn't need to < herlo> its a way of getting resources to people who need them in a short amount of time without really affecting the budget < herlo> I can see us possibly adding more Media as well, maybe 20 CDs or so < iWolf> i guess i don't see it as being enough resources, as I would think i would go through a kit in pretty short order. < iWolf> herlo: more media would help. < herlo> LiveUSBs will be the costly part < iWolf> herlo: cause the more professional looking media does look much better than the home burnt stuff. < herlo> iWolf: well one nice part is the box will be reusable < herlo> iWolf: agreed < iWolf> here's the con to Live USBs from my perspective. < iWolf> they are pricey, and someone could easily just wipe the key and look at is "hey, free USB key." < iWolf> it's the whole "bang for the buck" thing. < iWolf> Now, I would love to see us be able to hand out LiveUSB keys like candy, they are awesome - but the money thing comes into play. < herlo> iWolf: I don't disagree < stickster> iWolf: +1 < herlo> however, I see them as a marketing tool if we put a fedora label them too * quaid offered them with F10 Alpha for anyone who would file a bug :) < iWolf> herlo: how about USB key stickers? < herlo> someone gets a free usb stick sure, but so what, fedora was sure generous! < ke4qqq> iWolf: they are a bit more than a tshirt - so no real difference < iWolf> someone brings their own key and we use a LiveUSB station to make it a Live key and then add a sticker. < gregdek> We need to get the sticker thing sorted. < herlo> iWolf: that's my argument, don't do stickers, have them imprinted. But that costs more. Its a debate for us to have when we have a vendor < herlo> for now, its a pipe dream < iWolf> ke4qqq: here is the trick to shirts - we sell them for dirt cheap. < quaid> I like the bubble stickers < herlo> iWolf: I don't like the idea of selling them < quaid> what is cost on a shirt? print + ship? < iWolf> herlo: it worked very, very well for us at OLF one year. < herlo> quaid: I got a price of 4.65 + 1.25 for anything larger than XL < herlo> that was for approx 55 shirts < quaid> $6 for a shirt then ... < herlo> sure < iWolf> herlo: the theory is, *anyone* will take a free t-shirt, but it might not get worn. Pay $10 for a shirt and you will probably wear it. < herlo> give or take * iWolf has *lots* of free t-shirts in the closet that never get worn < herlo> iWolf: sure, but to me it looks like we're trying to make money off them. * inode0 has a closet full of free t-shirts he never wears < herlo> iWolf: I don't, I only have shirts I like. I have several free ones I wear < iWolf> herlo: we explained to everyone that all funds go right back to Fedora to help get folks to events. * herlo thinks its a matter of opinion < iWolf> people had no issues with it. < herlo> iWolf: did you sell out? < iWolf> herlo: I do agree, its a matter of opinion. < iWolf> herlo: yes, we sold out. < herlo> iWolf: so one thing I think about that < herlo> is that this is an event vs informal discussion < herlo> iWolf: did you sell out at an event? < herlo> or was it just one or two shirts? < herlo> see the difference? < iWolf> herlo: yeah, sold out at an event. * inode0 notes that when asked to give a talk at the local church about the olpc he will not try to sell any swag < herlo> ambassadorkits will just have a couple, we could give those away and interest someone who might not otherwise be interested... < iWolf> herlo: yeah, different scenarios may call for different tactics. < herlo> iWolf: so we're back to Events vs Ad-Hoc * herlo is focusing on Ad-Hoc only atm < herlo> which is the intent of the AmbassadorKit < inode0> I think one should just use care in choosing who to give them to < herlo> I hope I'm not offending or frustrating anyone... < herlo> for events, let's sell them * ke4qqq notes that we are 40 minutes into the meeting but isn't offended or frustrated < herlo> for ad-hoc maybe not < iWolf> herlo: you're fine. < herlo> :) < inode0> agreed - do some selling at big events < herlo> just making sure... < herlo> so does this make sense for an AmbassdorKit < ke4qqq> doesn't know about the actual quantity/makeup of contents but likes the idea. < inode0> I only see an issue when we have 500 ambassadors giving a talk a month < stickster> inode0: I long for that problem. < herlo> inode0: sure, but if we get there, we'll have better problems to deal with < ke4qqq> if we have 500 people giving a talk each month we'll get funding < herlo> stickster: yay! < inode0> so we have a new goal < herlo> yup < ke4qqq> ok so moving on transfer policy? < rislam> i think so inode0 < herlo> yay < herlo> +1 for moving forward < ke4qqq> update on transfer policy for eventbox? < ke4qqq> herlo? < ke4qqq> moving forward - iwolf with the move to swag budgets being moved to owners do we obviate the need for famsco to handle media production regardless of vendor for NA? < herlo> oh sorry < herlo> I'm not ready for that, other than to say that now that I have a good plan for AmbassadorKit, EventBox will be a breeze < herlo> next week < ke4qqq> k < ke4qqq> and thus can we do away with that task? < herlo> oh, we're doing tasks aren't we? I thought that AmbassadorKit discussion was for the meeting item :) hehe < herlo> ke4qqq: which task? < iWolf> ke4qqq: i think a lot depends on the plan for media production by regional leaders. i.e. we would want to make sure there is a solid plan in place for media production. < iWolf> ke4qqq: does that make sense? not sure that came out right... < ke4qqq> or is there still something to be done there? < ke4qqq> yes < ke4qqq> iWolf? < ke4qqq> famsco media production < ke4qqq> that iwolf had < ke4qqq> lets change that task then and see if our plan meets with famsco's approval < ke4qqq> is that worthwhiel < ke4qqq> worthwhile even? < inode0> isn't media production through karlie? * herlo will brb < iWolf> ke4qqq: i think that would be best, you guys come up with a solid plan and then we run it past famsco - with plenty of lead time for f10. < ke4qqq> ok < iWolf> inode0: NA won't have as much media if it goes through Karlie. < ke4qqq> lets slate that for Sep1 < ke4qqq> is that ok? < iWolf> ke4qqq: i think that is a good goal. we can keep famsco/max updated as things move forward too, if warranted. < ke4qqq> inode0: no swag is coming from FAMSCO or RH - it's all event based funding < ke4qqq> that's handed to the owners < ke4qqq> ok * ke4qqq will change the task shortly < inode0> sorry, I got muddled on the media production < ke4qqq> moving on. iWolf: FAD? < ke4qqq> inode0: so did we, new budget changed everything < iWolf> ke4qqq: i have the post to the m-l, we sort of talked schedule in the f-amb channel. I think its down to me needing to get off my butt and get the FAD wiki page up with the tentative schedule and some m-l posts/blog posts out. < ke4qqq> ok - anything we can help with? < herlo> back < iWolf> ke4qqq: everyone nag me if I don't have something up by the end of the weekend? :) < ke4qqq> ok, we can do that. ready to move on? < iWolf> fine with me. < ke4qqq> next is must/coulds/shoulds which is mine < ke4qqq> the page is up here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NorthAmerica/Expectations < zodbot> (at fedoraproject.org) < herlo> ke4qqq: I thought we were going to put it out to Karlie as an option to meet what we saw... < herlo> pricewise and such... < herlo> sorry to move us backward < ke4qqq> herlo: we are to work on it as regional - and report back < ke4qqq> essentially it becomes our decision < herlo> regional how? < herlo> ahh, okay < ke4qqq> you me and inode0 end up making the decision < ke4qqq> and famsco gives blessing < ke4qqq> and rislam < herlo> moving forward then... < rislam> :) < ke4qqq> the above page < ke4qqq> please edit < ke4qqq> change < ke4qqq> comment on < inode0> comment on coulds - #fedora and other IRC places should have at least equal billing with fedoraforums.org I think < ke4qqq> inode0: please make the change on #fedora < ke4qqq> I mean on < ke4qqq> the above page < ke4qqq> hearning nothing else - moving on....herlo care to tackle the last task < inode0> I probably have some other thoughts on that page too < rislam> its already perfect. < herlo> sure < herlo> ke4qqq: can do < herlo> so here's the deal with the last task. I plan on getting more feedback in the list over the next few weeks but the idea is that we're doing much more as NA Ambassadors than we're reporting < rislam> add finger print and gpg key on the page < herlo> I'd like to improve that by having the Regionals take on a reporting / gathering role < herlo> rislam: where does that fit? < inode0> those aren't required any more are they? < inode0> in FAS? < rislam> to the should < rislam> "should" < herlo> oh, okay * herlo wasn't sure where that went... sounds good to me < rislam> when they sending emails or contact other person to the community < inode0> I thought that was dropped for a reason?! * ke4qqq notes we are an hour in < stickster> inode0: It was dropped as a basic requirement to be a contributor. < rislam> yeah < gregdek> Reporting is key, I think. < stickster> inode0: It's useful for Ambassadors for a number of reasons, though not requierd. < herlo> I don't think we have to have it, but I think it'd be okay if we asked them and they said it could be there < stickster> *required < herlo> so I think it goes in 'coulds < ke4qqq> stickster: reporting is only required for funded events, a lot is going on without funding < ke4qqq> and thus unreported < herlo> but I'd like to see more of the reporting on funded and unfunded activities < inode0> wonders about blogging in shoulds to be honest < ke4qqq> yes, we want to trumpet the stuff that's going on regardless of funding < herlo> whether it be as simple as working in #fedora or fedoraforum.org we should give karma or soemthing for this at minimum < stickster> ke4qqq meant gregdek probably < herlo> or LUG meetings that didn't get blogged, but we found out somehow. Let's trumpet the horn for them... < gregdek> It's hard to motivate folks to talk, I think. * ke4qqq does'nt think that - most appears to be a percieved lack of authority < herlo> gregdek: and I think we can talk for them some if they just even mention it... < inode0> here is the thing < ke4qqq> I am going to pick on lcaifero - he asked if he needed permission to sign up an event in his own state.....wasn't asking for funding or anything just to show up. < inode0> some people are comfortable talking to other people, even large groups, but are less comfortable about blogging about it < gregdek> Right. < herlo> inode0: agreed, that's part of the point. But I want to track *all* activity we know about in Fedora NA < inode0> even informal reporting to regional ambassadors who could pass on a summary would be helpful < quaid> blog and/or email to list and/or email to regional leader who can blog about it themselves < herlo> whether its blogged, emailed or just a rumor that we chase down... < quaid> inode0: jinx! < gregdek> It's that lack of authority that we need to explode, too. < herlo> quaid: right on < gregdek> I find that everywhere. < herlo> inode0: right on * herlo jinxed himself :) < herlo> gregdek: clarify your lack of authority exploding statement... < gregdek> Heh. * herlo is confused is all < stickster> We need to let people know they can claim the power < gregdek> What I mean is, I think it's not unusual for people to think they need "permission" to attend an event on Fedora's behalf. < gregdek> Exactly. < gregdek> Thanks, stickster. Much more succinct. < stickster> me talk pretty < herlo> stickster: ahh, thx < herlo> stickster: one day :) < iWolf> i think this is where the mentoring ideas you guys ( herlo, inode0 and ke4qqq ) have come into play. < rislam> i am learning too < herlo> iWolf: yeah, don't forget about rislam, he's a regional leader too :) < iWolf> oops! my fault - rislam too! < rislam> :) < herlo> hehe < rislam> thx you all < herlo> so I think the point of this is to help those who either aren't reporting or can't report for one reason or another < rislam> i go with herlo, its true < herlo> and we track this info, bring it to the famsco meetings and say look, we have X more events this quarter than were on the events page < ke4qqq> +1 < rislam> the meeting is about to finish, right? < quaid> do we want a way to actually track the data gathered? < ke4qqq> yes < quaid> like a spreadsheet, table, database, etc. < ke4qqq> we want to track contributors signed up < ke4qqq> talks given < ke4qqq> people talked to < ke4qqq> I am almost convinced we need a CRM type application < gregdek> KISS. :) < quaid> well * ke4qqq is getting confused talking to the 4 different schools I am talking to < quaid> let's start with a CSV file * ke4qqq claims the stupid title gregdek applied :) < quaid> maybe each region keeps one for now? < quaid> we can merge them regularly, as long as the field names are identical < quaid> and that can be sucked in to a db in the future if needed. < ke4qqq> is it a task to develop those fields? < quaid> < quaid> yes < herlo> quaid: I think we could actually keep this in a csv file if we had a decent CRM :) < rislam> i have to go now people < herlo> rislam: thanks < rislam> i will read the rest with the email send < ke4qqq> thanks rislam < herlo> quaid: hmm, interesting thought... < iWolf> rislam: cya * herlo mulls it around his noggin < rislam> See you soon all < rislam> tc < quaid> herlo: keep an ODS file in your fedorapeople place, or we can make a hosted project for it ... < quaid> or attach to the wiki < ke4qqq> quaid: having experience managing a community would you like to take on the task of developing the info we need to track ? < herlo> quaid: ooh, I have got it... < herlo> google doc :) < quaid> herlo: you looking for a punch in the nose? < quaid> :D < herlo> lol < ke4qqq> ready to move on? < herlo> quaid: k, let's talk about this a bit more next week... < herlo> ke4qqq: +1 < ke4qqq> we've talked about item 3 on the agenda already - so we'll move on past that < ke4qqq> herlo: UTOSC? < herlo> ke4qqq: ordered 55 tshirts today, cost about $300 < herlo> looking to create an order for stickers tomorrow < herlo> have 350 (or so) bits of Media to give away < herlo> and < herlo> we have 2 ppl from Fedora (non-ambassadors) coming down to help man the booth. Along with Stickster and jsmith < herlo> things are falling into place quite nicely < stickster> And quaid, you're sending on some booth deco, yes? < iWolf> herlo: sounds like they are coming together quite nicely. < herlo> any suggestions out there? I will have a few dollars left over at this point probably, but I figure I can use that to ship the eventbox (which quaid is shipping next week) < quaid> stickster: aye < stickster> herlo: Blue painters tape < stickster> 1 roll. < quaid> herlo: which is just a mailing tube at the moment, plus a few hooks and stuff I'll tuck in with the t-shirts < herlo> iWolf: yes, I'm excited. Things are moving quite nicely. In fact, tonight I'm installing 5 fedora boxen for the presenters/slides/recording etc < herlo> stickster: good call, but UTOSC will have that for you < stickster> hee hee < herlo> quaid: I intend to improve that with some of the leftover funds as well < herlo> won't be a ton, but probably enoughfor a shipping box (lightweight) and shipping itself < herlo> of course, it depends on how difficult it will be to work with the tubes... < herlo> I should point out that UTOSC has solidified the booths and fedora will get either an 8x10 or a 6x10 booth, but should be plenty < stickster> Sure sounds that way to me * stickster will try to steal his daughter's XO. < herlo> stickster: I have one too. Was considering upgrading it to F9 version < ke4qqq> gregdek: any update on my XO idea? < quaid> herlo: the tube isn't required, actually; the big banner roles up fairly short, as long as it can avoid being crushed < quaid> maybe cut the tub in half so it fits in a box :) * quaid realizes he can do that with the t-shirts too < gregdek> ke4qqq: Nope. < stickster> herlo: Is there anything you're depending on me to bring? other than a good attitude and some speechifying? < herlo> quaid: I'll see what I can do. Was thinking a small long box might just do it... < herlo> stickster: not that I can think of, heard Fedora had a flag, but otherwise, I'll be at the airport around 6:30-6:45pm on Wednesday to pick you up :) < quaid> herlo: I'll do some measurements; if it's worth it, I'll saw the tube down (60/40), seal one end, and fit it all within the big box < stickster> We haz a flag? < herlo> dunno, just heard tht < herlo> that * stickster has never seen it if so < herlo> quaid: k, cool < stickster> gregdek: quaid: do you know anything about this flag? < inode0> stickster: you should have a flag! < gregdek> Banner? < stickster> I know we have some sort of vinyl or cloth banner < gregdek> I know about banners. < gregdek> We've got four: < herlo> dunno, I was just told this once, but I have no credible resource < stickster> That's what quaid is sending, I thought. < gregdek> Yes, that's what I thought too. < gregdek> One Big Fedora Banner. < inode0> what great pictures we could have of the flag being planted as Fedora claims one event after another < herlo> okay, all is well < gregdek> Three Little Fedora Posters. < herlo> w00t! I'm happy to print more posters too... < quaid> herlo: we need one or two live USB posters, on vinyl, with grommets, and have them be generic enough to use for multiple releases. < herlo> I can do that probably. We'll see how my time is early next week * quaid wonders ... when does shipping this stuff around cover the cost of "everyone having a set" < herlo> quaid: I like the one that EMEA created < herlo> quaid: again, EventBox v AmbassadorKit < herlo> we *wont* have EventBoxen for everyone < quaid> herlo: I'm going to be back and forth at Kinkos the next few days; let's talk outside of the meeting, I could get it done and just include it in the shipping. < quaid> herlo: I know, theoretically, yes, but ... * quaid wonders ... when does shipping this stuff around cover the cost of "everyone having a set" < gregdek> Bedtime for me, folks. < quaid> I just recommend we do the analysis, that's all < herlo> quaid: sounds good < quaid> gnight greggie < iWolf> i have an email that covers some of that question. < inode0> or at least one person in each big conference city having one < ke4qqq> thanks gregdek < gregdek> Take care all. G'nite. < iWolf> i'll try to dig it up, not sure if it was to an m-l or a smaller group of people. < herlo> inode0: I don't think that's necessary < iWolf> but there is another factor, making it easier for an ambassador to work an event. < herlo> unless you are referring to Chicago, NY, etc... < inode0> I was < inode0> not Chicago really < iWolf> you can ship from a central location for $80 or less (if you can piggyback on an employer's shipping deal). * stickster is getting ready to hang it up too * stickster assumes UTOSC part of the convo is over < herlo> iWolf: agreed... < ke4qqq> yes lets move on < herlo> stickster: yep < herlo> +1 moving on < ke4qqq> we've talked about ambassador kit < ke4qqq> so can we move on to open flooor? < inode0> does stickster want to talk about tonight's mail? < stickster> inode0: Oh sure < stickster> But really it's all in the email. * herlo has to still read that email... < inode0> shall we make an item for next week then to discuss how to handle new recruits at conferences? < stickster> I want to see if we can't have some sort of facility in FAS so that when an Amb signs up a new contributor, we have a way of (1) making a list of those people afterward, and (2) having a way of assigning them to people for further mentoring if desired < herlo> oh, I did see that, +1 < quaid> this could tie in with a skill set tracker < ke4qqq> +1 don't know if fas is the way to do it, but think we need to track and followup < inode0> FAS would be great for booth signups < stickster> ke4qqq: Yeah, if possible you really don't want to set up a whole different system for this. < ke4qqq> will ambassadors require special perms to see that though? * herlo thinks FAS is the way < stickster> ke4qqq: The coolest (and might be easy) way to do this is to have the equivalent of "foocon08.join.fp.o" which will automatically give the contributor the necessary tags < stickster> The procedure won't change, just the site you use. < stickster> Ideally, that could be set up by request or automation. < inode0> which would be simple and convenient for us < stickster> ke4qqq: And if special perms are needed, we can do that through the FAS groups. < stickster> So that's it in a nutshell. * stickster done and really ready to drop. < inode0> night and thanks < herlo> me too, I'm done < ke4qqq> clsoing meeting in 5 < ke4qqq> 4 < ke4qqq> 3 < ke4qqq> 2 < ke4qqq> 1 < ianweller> *boom* < ke4qqq> good night all thanks for coming < herlo> ke4qqq: thx < ke4qqq> np < quaid> cheers, thx < ke4qqq> thx < inode0> you did a good job lurking ianweller < ke4qqq> yeah join in next time ianweller < herlo> ke4qqq: next week I won't be at the meeting... < herlo> I'll try to get you updates by friday btw... < ke4qqq> ok < ke4qqq> sounds good From fugolini at fedoraproject.org Wed Aug 13 22:00:46 2008 From: fugolini at fedoraproject.org (Francesco Ugolini) Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:00:46 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Ambassadors] happy to see fedora at drupal international camp In-Reply-To: <24233aca0808120435k3c13aca7n47fb1b87a1f9547b@mail.gmail.com> References: <24233aca0808120435k3c13aca7n47fb1b87a1f9547b@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: On Tue, 12 Aug 2008, ElectroMech wrote: > Dear All, > > We had tried to provide some boost to fedora spread at our end and with our > ability.

Message-ID: Hi EMEA ambassadors, I'm curious to know who has some leftover swag from various events (maybe LinuxTag). We have FrOSCon coming up next week, and while I have several hundred Live CDs, we're pretty short on everything else. Peter, do you have any stickers left that you might be able to mail to me or one of the FrOSCon attendees? I know we still need to get more stickers made for EMEA, but right now we are focusing on the t-shirts. As for t-shirts, Joerg Simon helped me to place an order for 400 t-shirts, which we will use throughout EMEA. These will be very useful at events during the coming months, but it is not guaranteed that they will be ready in time for FrOSCon. Joerg had some leftover t-shirts from LinuxTag, but I am afraid that my vacation and his overlapped, and we won't be able to get them either. Does anyone else happen to have a stash of Fedora swag in EMEA that we can coordinate getting to FrOSCon next week?

URL: From mspevack at redhat.com Fri Aug 15 15:23:38 2008 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:23:38 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Ambassadors] fedora-fr meeting report Message-ID: I spent a great day on Saturday August 2nd with a large number of our French contributors, ambassadors, and community leaders. We had a 12-person meeting/discussion for about 5 hours and then met up with another 8 folks for dinner. In no particular order, here are my notes: * Fedora-fr was created to be a central gathering point for French-speaking Fedora users and contributors worldwide, with a non-profit entity (formed in January 2007) backing it up. It was previously "Fedora France" but changed its name to Fedora-fr to indicate that it is meant to support the entire French-speaking world. This immediately brought to mind the work that Rodrigo Padula (based in Brazil) is doing to support Fedora in Portugal. I think it is *critical* that the upstream Fedora Project always work to empower local communities that are solving their own problems, so I fully support all the work Fedora-fr is doing. * The Fedora-fr website contains forums (15,000 registered users), a Mediawiki instance with almost 300 pages of documentation (in which French is the canonical language), and a French-only planet (which has a fair amount of cross-pollenation with Planet Fedora). I think it would be interesting to have some of the Fedora Docs Project guys take a look at what the French team has built up, and see if there are any quick wins that we can achieve in a information/toolchain sharing point of view. * Fedora-fr currently gets funding from their online store, memberships (20 EUR/year or 10 EUR for students), and occasional physical sale of swag. Also from the larger Community Architecture & FAMSCo budget. * Pierre-Yves Chibon (pingou) and Remi Collet both asked me about the status of the MyFedora project, and I realized that I personally haven't kept up on what's going on with that idea. Last I heard, J5 was leading it up, but I'm not sure of the current status. However, there are at least two guys in France who would like to see it become a reality. * We spoke about the relationships between the current non-profit organizations that exist in support of Fedora, and also about what might happen with any future organizations that are started up. As I told the French folks, in my opinion the ability to communicate with people in their native language is the most important aspect of forming a local community. To that extent, I think the Fedora-fr organization should clearly be the leader in helping to organize local Fedora community activities anywhere in the world where French is the primary language. * This led to a brief discussion about some of the Ambassadors that we are trying to support in Tunisia, as well as the opportunity (if we can find the budget) to fund the creation of a Fedora mirror in Africa, which currently doesn't have any mirrors at all (http://fedoraproject.org/maps/mirrors/). * One of the biggest things that I heard, and that Yaakov Nemoy also heard when he attended the Fedora installfest in Paris, was that our Fedora France team would like a bit of help in establishing stronger relations with the Red Hat employees who are in France (mostly training, sales, consultants, and field marketing folks). This would start in a very simple fashion -- just having some better communiation in both directions of the Fedora/Red Hat event schedules, and getting some Red Hat people to come to a Fedora event and meet some of the local contributors and users. Definitely something I will follow up on. * From an events point of view in France, the biggest things are Linux Solutions in Paris (the largest show in France), and FOSDEM. Also regular install-fests, meetups. I promised to try to help with a good Red Hat/Fedora interaction in planning the next Linux Solutions. * Dinner was fantastic as well, and I want to thank the entire Fedora France team for giving their Saturday to these meetings, and for all of the contributions and work that they do for Fedora. Some folks I had met before, others I met for the first time. Everyone is really nice, really smart, and really devoted to free software and Fedora. It was a great day.

Hi, I'm plannig a release and install party for Fedora Core 10 in S?o Luis - MA / Brasil. I'm trying to make the install / release party at my old university. I think we need a few DVDs Core 10 for distribution, plus some shirts and stickers for notebook. A banner with the symbol of the project would be great. Excuse me for my extremely poor English skills. Best regards -- Andr?

We discussed a few new adds to the North America Regional list of ambassadors (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Regions) and were looking to get more information here from existing / new ambassadors in North America. AmbassadorKit discussion went well and defined a few items needed that herlo had not yet accounted. The AmbassadorKit page was created out of this information and a new page has been created[1] The only conference to discuss was UTOSC and things are moving along well there. Tshirts and stickers should arrive in time for the conference.

After my brief comments at the NA ambassadors meeting a few weeks I would like to outline what has been going on to provide some clarity as well a grounds for discussions for everything. Let me start by saying that I apologize if it seemed like this was being done in secret, which it absolutely isn't, its just the choice was made to keep everything quiet until we could make some formal announcement in the coming months and that lead people to believe we were trying to cut people out of the process, which is not the case at all. First of all, let me make a few thing we are *NOT* trying to do clear, based mostly off concerns people have brought to my attention: 1. Create a private initiative - Again, we were just being mum until we could make sure we would get the most press punch out of this. 2. Uproot/Replace/Rename/Repurpose the Ambassadors program - This is absolutely not true one iota!!! The purpose that we are considering this initiative to be a separate entity has nothing to do with anything malicious. This is intended to be a pilot program and we thought it might be less of a burned on Ambassadors if it was run by one person initially, figure out if it has legs, gain some organic growth and then integrate it into the fold rather than stick in a whole bunch of new people with seemingly narrow-focused objectives into an already ongoing and vibrant Ambassadors program. 3. Replace current Ambassadors who are students - Again, not true. We really would like everyone to keep doing the great job they are already doing, day in and day out. We didn't start by approaching these ambassadors, because strategic partnerships with certain key universities are important to Red Hat as well as Fedora and we are, and I especially have been, working on building those bridges for the past few weeks. We don't want to kick anyone out of place, on the contrary--we are trying to make more places in which people can be. That being said, I am going to highlight some key pieces of strategy which for better or worse comprise our Fedora Education Strategy and feel free to comment on and/or disagree with any of these--thats why I'm putting this out, to get everyone involved in the process: 1. Open Source Curriculum - We are working with a talented group of people to try and put together both a platform and set of course materials in order to teach people and students world wide how to program using modern software engineering methodologies and with a focus on Free and Open Software tools and philosophy. 2. Campus Reps - A US Pilot program to try and get students on college campuses involved in Fedora and general FOSS advocacy. Initially, they will all report back to one person within Red Hat who can be help responsible and accountable for all this. Purpose is two-fold, first, students advocate for open source and fedora on their respective campus. Second, they provide eyes and ears on the ground and work with students and faculty to find interesting opportunities. Students also provide a face for us to the faculty which is familiar to them which doesnt seem like its some corporate backed scheme to recruit students without paying their sometimes insane fees. Reps have a few basic responsibilities, mainly holding one event a semester, whether it be a tech talk or info session about something fedora or open source related and maintaining good rapport with faculty to try and make new opportunities spring up. 3. Red Hat High 2.0 - Redefine RHH as a program working with the country's elite science and math high schools in order to get students familiarized with open source at the high school level. This ties in with the Open Curriculum. We know there are a number of similar initiatives but none which focus around getting students familiarized with open source. Thats basically that, I'm sure everyone will have more questions and comments and suggestions, so let's get everyone involved in this. What do you think?

Very Nice, but educational programs are very different in different places. Here in Argentina my chosen role, was promote Fedora on Digital break Access, something that Red Hat in the region could not spread correctly. Absense of Red Hat Educational Strategy ( in exception of Brazil ) generates "black holes" in Digital Break reduction. Be only focused on only High School programs is always let other parts alone. We cannot start a worldwide education program around only few tips. Educational strategy must be concerned around all aspects of education. We cannot start from a "all people are in the university", in some places on earth, like here, no all the people has this capability or access.. >> 3.

(08:02:30 PM) iWolf: it was another canceled meeting last week, so nothing to really report. The list has been relatively quiet as well. (08:02:45 PM) iWolf: its been hard getting everyone's schedule to match up these past few weeks. (08:02:53 PM) herlo: iWolf: summer does that to people (08:03:23 PM) ke4qqq: ok - moving on - task list (08:03:29 PM) ke4qqq: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA (08:03:46 PM) ke4qqq: first up contacting local ambassadors - (08:03:55 PM) ke4qqq: herlo: inode0 and I (08:03:59 PM) ke4qqq: anyone care to report?

(08:08:02 PM) iWolf: really stretches the dollar. (08:08:03 PM) herlo: although, I don't see a reason you guys couldn't finish it up (08:08:06 PM) inode0: do we have budget now for F10 production? (08:08:10 PM) ke4qqq: well we'll assume that. (08:08:17 PM) herlo: iWolf: yes, I have a good broker now in that market (08:08:26 PM) herlo: he's used the guys before and they've given us a great price (08:08:31 PM) ke4qqq: we have a budget for something like a month - which probably means that we'll do livecds in november.... (08:08:40 PM) ke4qqq: and do install media when more money comes in (08:08:51 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: right, I said we'd place the order in Late October so that's a go (08:08:52 PM) ke4qqq: or at least that's my thought - but realistically we have money for just over 2 runs (08:09:43 PM) herlo: sounds good to me 6k discs is a good number (08:09:50 PM) ke4qqq: not including all of the others things that are going on. (08:10:00 PM) ke4qqq: and cost dramatically rises if we drop below a 3k run. (08:10:09 PM) herlo: AmbassadorKit should be something we need to nudge the Art team on (08:10:12 PM) iWolf: if one of you could write up the deal you are getting, who the vendor is and any other details or plans you have for producing media and then email Max and I - we'll make sure it sees the right people. (08:10:24 PM) herlo: they've been a bit involved in getting the art for F10 made up, so maybe after sept 1 (08:10:32 PM) iWolf: i can't imagine people saying no to that media deal though. (08:10:48 PM) herlo: iWolf: sure, we have to work through my friend, but the price is still right (08:11:03 PM) ke4qqq: iwolf - already a task for us!

(08:12:30 PM) inode0: yes (08:12:49 PM) herlo: inode0: like I said, they are kind of focused on F10 artwork, but after that, I expect it to be a breeze (08:12:52 PM) herlo: looking at mid sept (08:13:24 PM) herlo: so for the EventBox, I'm going to spend a bit of hte money I got for UTOSC doing some research and purchasing a good box to hold the items in an eventbox (08:13:32 PM) inode0: ok, I'm expecting button art around end of month (08:13:45 PM) herlo: EMEA has a great box and ours is apparently a bit weak (08:13:59 PM) ke4qqq: what kind of box??? (08:14:00 PM) rislam: RashadulIslam (08:14:04 PM) rislam: sorry for being late (08:14:07 PM) herlo: this is according to my impressions from quaid (08:14:07 PM) ke4qqq: nw (08:14:42 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: likely a tough and light shipping box that can hold a decent set of banners and other gear (08:14:58 PM) ke4qqq: what dimensions do you need? (08:15:00 PM) iWolf: herlo: something like the pelican box on the EventBox page? (08:15:03 PM) herlo: I think this is an appropriate use of the funds, any suggestions (08:15:12 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: unknown yet, just wanted to get it out there yet (08:15:20 PM) herlo: iWolf: yes, something like that... (08:15:30 PM) ***ke4qqq loves pelican boxes (08:15:31 PM) herlo: iWolf: but probably not as tall and wider (08:15:43 PM) herlo: the trick is getting a 6x3 banner into it (08:16:10 PM) iWolf: You can roll it and as long as you have a 3'diagonal probably be fine. (08:16:13 PM) herlo: not to detract, just informing that I'll be performing this research soon... (08:16:14 PM) ke4qqq: do we need one of those separate containers? (08:16:17 PM) herlo: iWolf: right on... (08:16:21 PM) iWolf: will the box have room for future improvements, such as LCDs? (08:16:25 PM) iWolf: a shuttle box? (08:16:27 PM) iWolf: etc. (08:16:28 PM) herlo: I hope so (08:16:35 PM) iWolf: great, sounds good. (08:16:49 PM) iWolf: i think we should use a few NA events to fill this box up. (08:16:55 PM) ke4qqq: perhaps we need one of those cylindrical cases that places ship banners in - I might have access to one that was abandoned by my marketing dept. (08:17:04 PM) iWolf: so from OLF budget, some of the things we get, will get used for the show and added to the box. (08:17:07 PM) herlo: cost of shipping tends to be an issue with lcds and things, so I'll keep that in mind though (08:17:07 PM) herlo: I'd like the shipping cost of an eventbox to be under $50 each time (08:17:07 PM) herlo: ground (08:17:15 PM) iWolf: after a few shows we'd have a full box. (08:17:16 PM) herlo: iWolf: same here (08:17:29 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: quaid already has one of thoes (08:17:34 PM) ke4qqq: ahhh ok (08:17:44 PM) iWolf: herlo: when I priced out the shipping for an 85 pound box it seemed to range from $50 to $85 to ship. (08:17:45 PM) herlo: but I'm not sure its of the quality you are referring (08:17:59 PM) herlo: iWolf: across country? or just a few states? (08:18:00 PM) ke4qqq: would keeping it separate allow us more flexibility ? (08:18:04 PM) ***herlo guesses the lower is closer (08:18:19 PM) ianweller_afk is now known as ianweller (08:18:21 PM) iWolf: I ran the prices off the UPS web site (though without discounts). (08:18:25 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: dunno, this is where the research is gonna come in, so expect questions over the next month or so... (08:18:32 PM) iWolf: and I got the weight from the Gnome event box. (08:18:38 PM) herlo: right (08:18:39 PM) herlo: ok (08:18:53 PM) ***herlo feels like this can be discussed more in the coming month. (08:18:59 PM) iWolf: herlo: from Ohio to the West coast on the high side. (08:19:24 PM) ke4qqq: ok - so you are going to start a convo about that on the m-l? (08:19:44 PM) herlo: iWolf: right, so my next question is where am I going to ship the eventbox once I'm done with it? (08:20:00 PM) herlo: according ot the calendar, there are two events ahead of OLF, but they aren't more than 150 ppl (08:20:01 PM) iWolf: herlo: possibly to OLF? Is there another big event between yours and it? (08:20:03 PM) ke4qqq: Nowhere - you ship when the next event needs it - not when you are done. (08:20:18 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: right, and that's only a month after mine (08:20:25 PM) ***ke4qqq misunderstood the question - ignore me (08:20:29 PM) herlo: which is why I plan to do research first :) (08:20:46 PM) herlo: but I wanted to put together that shipping policy about eventbox (08:22:29 PM) ke4qqq: which is another item - I assume with UTOSC on your plate it will be a few weeks til we hear further on that? (08:22:30 PM) herlo: and a minimum conference size might be good (08:22:54 PM) vwbusguy: here (08:22:55 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: probably yeah (08:23:15 PM) ***herlo wants to move onto the next item, this was more fyi september will be a busy fedora research month :) (08:23:24 PM) ke4qqq: anything further on AKs, EBs, media, or shipping policy (08:23:43 PM) ke4qqq: ok - iWolf: FAD? (08:24:14 PM) iWolf: I have the wiki page up, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD/FADNA2008 (08:24:16 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: wait, can we change the task on media to read 'move media replication' and be more generic? (08:24:23 PM) ***herlo signs up to FAD (08:24:26 PM) iWolf: now I need to publicize. (08:24:36 PM) ke4qqq: herlo - yes (08:24:43 PM) iWolf: if the folks here tonight that are planning on coming could add their names, that would be great. (08:24:45 PM) ke4qqq: is there anything we can do to help you with that? (08:24:55 PM) iWolf: i plan to email the ambassador list and a blog post for publicity. (08:25:04 PM) ke4qqq: want more people to do blog posts? (08:25:14 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: tx (08:25:26 PM) iWolf: yeah, the more the merrier. (08:25:27 PM) herlo: iWolf: which should we add ours under (08:25:27 PM) iWolf: helps show others are going. (08:25:48 PM) iWolf: herlo: responsible would be great. I am hoping we sort of do this one as a team. (08:25:55 PM) iWolf: so I can focus on the booth for OLF. (08:26:08 PM) iWolf: though I will still help with FAD too. (08:26:24 PM) ke4qqq: ok - so first thing is we need three people to step up and do a blog post about FAD this week volunteers? (08:26:40 PM) ***iWolf volunteers (08:26:49 PM) herlo: iWolf: added under Possible for now, likely will become responsible in a few weeks (08:26:50 PM) ke4qqq: you don't count (08:26:58 PM) lcafiero: blog where? (08:26:59 PM) iWolf: herlo: sounds good. (08:27:01 PM) iWolf: ke4qqq: :) (08:27:04 PM) herlo: lcafiero: on your blog (08:27:08 PM) ke4qqq: on your blog (08:27:15 PM) lcafiero: I can (08:27:19 PM) herlo: probalby one that syndicates to fedora planet :) (08:27:20 PM) ke4qqq: hopefully it's aggregated on the planet! (08:27:26 PM) lcafiero: Um, not yet. (08:27:27 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: jinx :) (08:27:38 PM) herlo: lcafiero: if you need help with that, I can help you (08:27:43 PM) lcafiero: Maybe I can find out after the meeting how to do that? (08:27:45 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: if there is no reason not to can we get that going first and then post the blog entry. (08:27:53 PM) ke4qqq: absolutely! (08:27:58 PM) herlo: yay (08:27:59 PM) ke4qqq: who else? (08:27:59 PM) herlo: teamwork (08:28:08 PM) herlo: I can try, but no promises (08:28:09 PM) ke4qqq: DemonJester: ? (08:28:23 PM) DemonJester: I can but I also need to get on the planet (08:28:35 PM) herlo: jtaber: you could blog your new ambassadorship and let people know about FAD at OLF :) (08:28:44 PM) ke4qqq: we can hook you up with that DemonJester (08:28:53 PM) DemonJester: count me in then (08:29:17 PM) jtaber: sure (08:29:26 PM) ke4qqq: jtaber: wanna round out our three? (08:29:33 PM) rislam: i will try to send the message to all Ambassadors in Canada (08:30:05 PM) lcafiero: There are a couple of groups on Facebook around Fedora -- I can post there, too, if you think it will help (08:30:11 PM) jtaber: I need to get subscribed to whatever planets there are here in TX (08:30:11 PM) ke4qqq: outstanding rislam! (08:30:15 PM) ke4qqq: absolutely lcafiero (08:30:25 PM) herlo: rislam: read the email, very nice (08:30:27 PM) rislam: facebook works well too (08:30:29 PM) ***ke4qqq adds planet subscription to bottom of agenda. (08:30:44 PM) ***herlo doesn't like facebook, but sees its value (08:30:49 PM) ke4qqq: anything else we can do this week to help move things along iWolf (08:30:56 PM) rislam: i try to resend the same but different emails as request (08:31:04 PM) lcafiero: +1 herlo -- was conned onto it and while there sought to use it. (08:31:23 PM) iWolf: i think getting the publicity out is the key thing this week. then work on forming up the agenda/meeting times we already touched on a week or so ago. (08:31:38 PM) ke4qqq: ok - well deal with agenda next week then. (08:31:44 PM) rislam: i go with iwolf? (08:31:56 PM) ke4qqq: and we'll get you some press this week. (08:32:17 PM) ke4qqq: ready for next item? (08:32:20 PM) herlo: yep (08:32:23 PM) iWolf: yep (08:32:24 PM) inode0: will the OLF agenda be out then? sort of planning on trying to get to some of that too (08:32:37 PM) iWolf: inode0: not sure, they announced the keynote speakers. (08:32:54 PM) inode0: waiting to hear what LOPSA is doing mostly (08:33:12 PM) iWolf: the talk deadline ended yesterday, so probably a little bit before they decide who is accepted. (08:33:17 PM) ke4qqq: alright next is a short sound bite - please review https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NorthAmerica/Expectations - eidt it comment about it, flame me for writing it. but thus far herlo has two edits and the rest are mine. (08:33:18 PM) zodbot: (at fedoraproject.org) (08:34:11 PM) ke4qqq: next item isn't due yet so onto the next agenda item. (08:34:20 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: I thought we were gonna talk about must/shoulds/coulds (08:34:30 PM) ke4qqq: ahhh cool - lets talk then (08:34:32 PM) herlo: oh, that is (08:34:37 PM) herlo: nm (08:34:43 PM) ke4qqq: no please discussion is good (08:34:50 PM) inode0: line between coulds and shoulds seems pretty arbitrary to me (08:34:51 PM) ke4qqq: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NorthAmerica/Expectations (08:34:51 PM) zodbot: (at fedoraproject.org) (08:35:16 PM) ke4qqq: it is - one person wrote it and made the line where he saw fit - but it's a wiki and can be moved.... :) (08:35:29 PM) inode0: would like to consider have more abstract statements of expectations with examples maybe of what might fall into them (08:35:32 PM) lcafiero: It looks good at first glance. (08:35:49 PM) ***herlo had something to add, now forgets (08:35:55 PM) inode0: what is there being such examples (08:36:03 PM) ***ke4qqq patches welcome :) (08:36:14 PM) rislam: please make sure there somewhere written that everybody should also part of their region and (08:36:34 PM) herlo: should - add themselves to the Regions page (08:36:39 PM) herlo: rislam: is this what you mean? (08:36:40 PM) rislam: yes (08:36:41 PM) ke4qqq: adds task for rislam :) (08:36:58 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: lol, that's just one edit... (08:37:00 PM) rislam: i already send an email about this (08:37:10 PM) herlo: rislam: can you edit the wiki? (08:37:15 PM) herlo: you should be able to (08:37:16 PM) rislam: yes i can (08:37:22 PM) ke4qqq: really- this isn't my document - please participate in it - everyone here (to my knowledge) has edit rights - ..... (08:37:32 PM) lcafiero: Could we add something under "could" about activity in LUGs? (08:37:35 PM) herlo: its a good thing to learn, and a perfect place to contribute (08:37:41 PM) herlo: lcafiero: add it :) (08:37:43 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: you can add whatever you want :) (08:37:51 PM) ***herlo loves the suggestions (08:37:56 PM) ke4qqq: me too - (08:37:58 PM) rislam: but where will be the perfect place (08:38:12 PM) ***ke4qqq appreciates herlo bringing the subject back for discussion rather than dismissing it. (08:38:14 PM) herlo: rislam: what do you mean? Expectations page is the great spot (08:38:32 PM) rislam: i mean in should or could (08:38:39 PM) herlo: rislam: ahh (08:38:53 PM) ***inode0 votes should for that (08:39:02 PM) rislam: +1 (08:39:04 PM) herlo: rislam: I read 'should' when you just typed it (08:39:21 PM) inode0: or even must if we have thoughts of using it for anything administrative (08:39:22 PM) rislam: inode call for vote already herlo (08:39:23 PM) ***herlo thinks that's correct (08:39:29 PM) lcafiero: Added (08:39:30 PM) herlo: rislam: lol, k (08:39:36 PM) jtaber: could - add picture to wiki page (08:39:45 PM) herlo: jtaber: nice (08:39:52 PM) inode0: main thing is get it on there, it can be shuffled around later (08:39:52 PM) ***herlo waits for jtaber to add that :) (08:40:35 PM) jtaber: actually will talk at utos - wanted to know where to upload png (08:40:36 PM) rislam: do I edit it to the should (08:40:39 PM) ***ke4qqq adds that task for jtaber to add. (08:40:48 PM) ***ianweller commences lurking (08:40:51 PM) lcafiero: Are we voting on something? (08:40:52 PM) inode0: that is fine rislam (08:41:06 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: no - idiomatic expression (08:41:31 PM) herlo: did we lose rislam? (08:41:59 PM) ke4qqq: what else should we discuss? (08:42:01 PM) rislam: sry i was dc (08:42:03 PM) ke4qqq: about this page? (08:42:03 PM) herlo: jtaber: add it to the wiki is easy, I can created it for you now (08:42:12 PM) inode0: we can each pick a number between 1 and 50 for each category (must, should, could) for where it should go :) (08:42:18 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: I think we should revisit it again next few weeks (08:42:34 PM) lcafiero: In the meantime, if we have ideas, we can post them. (08:42:38 PM) ***inode0 apologizes for that (08:42:39 PM) herlo: inode0: I think many of them are well defined, but you are right about some (08:42:43 PM) ke4qqq: yes - post them on the wiki (08:43:05 PM) rislam: i edit already (08:43:15 PM) herlo: inode0: in fact, most things that are ambiguous should be put in the 'coulds' section because others might consider a should or must too restrictive (08:43:19 PM) herlo: we can alwasy move things up (08:43:22 PM) ke4qqq: and we'll discuss changes - that's a task for everyone - review the page and at least comment- I know that no one likes it 100% (08:43:26 PM) rislam: if everybody say yes than I press save (08:43:40 PM) herlo: rislam: press save (08:43:43 PM) ke4qqq: press save! (08:44:07 PM) lcafiero: Yeah, you can't please everyone, but ke4qqq, it's a pretty solid document (08:44:10 PM) inode0: herlo: my problem is mostly around not feeling blogging should be elevated above other forms of communicating with others about Fedora (08:44:10 PM) herlo: jtaber: nice (08:44:42 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: great! - what other forms should be there?? or where should blogging move to? (08:44:46 PM) herlo: inode0: I agree with you, we should put importance on all forms of communication, but this can be hammered out over time. i'm not sure if its a could, or a should (08:44:54 PM) rislam: done (08:44:56 PM) inode0: thinks "communicate with others about Fedora" might be a should. examples would be blogging, attending LUGs, etc. (08:44:59 PM) herlo: yay (08:45:09 PM) ke4qqq: outstanding (08:45:19 PM) iWolf: sounds great! (08:45:21 PM) ***ke4qqq expects to see some of these changes in the not too distant future. (08:45:21 PM) DemonJester: inode0: dont forget IRC ;-) (08:45:38 PM) rislam: one more thing I have found that (08:45:41 PM) ke4qqq: yeah - hanging out in #fedora has to rate pretty high , esp over the past few days. (08:45:43 PM) lcafiero: Is mainstream media handled elsewhere? (08:45:57 PM) lcafiero: [Shamed to say I work for the mainstream media] (08:46:00 PM) inode0: I won't, and the list is longer still ... just thinking about more abstract categories (08:46:03 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: by mainstream do you mean Linuxworld or do you mean CBS (08:46:20 PM) herlo: DemonJester: the problem with irc is it is regularly *not* logged. (08:46:44 PM) DemonJester: herlo: true and that is probably a good thing at times! (08:47:11 PM) herlo: DemonJester: right, but its not a viable messaging platform (08:47:19 PM) herlo: that's all I was arguing (08:47:27 PM) DemonJester: herlo: agrees (08:47:29 PM) ***kanarip bets that IRC is logged a multitude compared to whatever else could be logged (08:47:45 PM) ke4qqq: so one of the things that I have been impressed with on IRC is ability to take the user to contributor - ianweller for instance brought a new contributor from #fedora to docs project a few weeks ago (08:47:55 PM) inode0: it is am important communication channel, actually talking about Fedora in #rhel sends people to other Fedora venues (08:48:20 PM) ke4qqq: so yeah it may not be directly recordable that you spent 80 hours on IRC - but recording the results can be. (08:48:28 PM) ***herlo agrees on these points (08:48:57 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: right, but where do you record the results, in IRC? or on a blog/mail (08:49:19 PM) inode0: did we just move into tracking? (08:49:25 PM) ke4qqq: herlo: I don't know the answer right now - perhaps in a blog- perhaps in some spreadysheed (08:49:29 PM) ke4qqq: wow (08:49:32 PM) ke4qqq: spreadsheet (08:49:39 PM) herlo: perfect segue (08:49:53 PM) ***ke4qqq planned that :) (08:50:04 PM) herlo: lol (08:50:07 PM) herlo: +1` (08:50:21 PM) herlo: that's a ' above a 1 (08:50:41 PM) ke4qqq: so - everyone I expect that page to be the heaviest edited page this week on the wiki (08:50:49 PM) ke4qqq: now lets talk about tracking - how do we do that (08:50:50 PM) lcafiero: heh (08:51:18 PM) rislam: i have to leave now (08:51:28 PM) ke4qqq: thanks for coming rislam (08:51:29 PM) ke4qqq: ! (08:51:29 PM) herlo: well, I think that's the challenge. NA Regional ambassadors take the challenge to record data (08:51:31 PM) rislam: i will send the email to everyone by tomorrow (08:51:37 PM) herlo: and put it somewhere (08:51:41 PM) ke4qqq: great! (08:51:45 PM) herlo: rislam: keep this last bit in mind :) (08:51:52 PM) herlo: rislam: have a good one man (08:51:56 PM) ke4qqq: but what do we record - and second how do we get that which we record (08:52:07 PM) rislam: thank u herlo (08:52:11 PM) herlo: the what: blogs, mailings, etc (08:52:26 PM) herlo: anything that will put the fedoraproject out in front of the public (08:52:43 PM) ke4qqq: or is a plus for fedora - like a new contributor (08:52:55 PM) ke4qqq: the results of being out in front of the public (08:53:03 PM) jtaber: if ambassadors blog about activities and are subscribed to Fedora Planet then easier for regional guys to keep track of (08:53:08 PM) herlo: the how: regional ambassadors (and any others who wish to contribute for us) will keep a wiki page of links to these details (08:53:16 PM) herlo: most of the details can be linked (08:53:39 PM) herlo: jtaber: true, but not everyone who is an ambassador cares to blog about it (08:53:45 PM) herlo: or send email for that matter (08:53:52 PM) ke4qqq: jtaber: it would - but somedays - the planet cycles pretty fast and then it's gone (08:54:15 PM) herlo: some do what they do because they can and don't care to share with the world, even though that's important to us (08:54:26 PM) herlo: quantifying it is another issue altogether (08:54:42 PM) ***herlo needs to go in 2 minutes (08:54:55 PM) ke4qqq: so what metrics?? gregdek mentioned that local media coverage was big time important.... (08:55:36 PM) ke4qqq: in my mind new contributors are important.... (08:55:48 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: how about we start tracking dates and where the item was found (08:56:12 PM) ke4qqq: ok - that's not a bad start......even if it's anecdotal at first - (08:56:14 PM) herlo: if you see an article, blog post, email, etc, we should put it on a page in some sort of simple fashion (08:56:27 PM) herlo: I'm thinking columns like so (08:56:44 PM) ***ke4qqq imagines herlo using his hands to describe columns over irc (08:56:52 PM) herlo: | Title / Information | Extra Detail | Date | Link | Comments | (08:57:05 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: does that work better than hands? :-P (08:57:10 PM) ***herlo now has to go... (08:57:18 PM) ke4qqq: yes! (08:57:24 PM) ke4qqq: have a good evening (08:57:35 PM) ke4qqq: alright what's left on the agenda (08:57:39 PM) iWolf: later herlo (08:57:44 PM) ke4qqq: or do we wish to discuss this more? (08:57:52 PM) inode0: open floor? tonight's mail from themayor? (08:58:06 PM) lcafiero: Interesting. (08:58:07 PM) jtaber: okay if blogs not the best, then ambassadors should be asked to post to mail list - if they don't want to then they simply go unreported - that way regional guys get it in their mailbox, can cut and paste, etc (08:59:00 PM) ke4qqq: jtaber: yeah - the part is getting compliance - and we can't force the issue - so it has to be gentle prodding I suppose (08:59:17 PM) inode0: jtaber: I think the regional guys are willing to touch base directly with ambassadors periodically and filter reports from there too (08:59:33 PM) ke4qqq: +1 (08:59:42 PM) lcafiero: Agreed (08:59:44 PM) ke4qqq: the problem is who do we touch base with - we are trying to work that out (09:00:00 PM) ke4qqq: but there are almost 600 ambassadors (09:00:03 PM) inode0: yeah, eventually the people on the map :) (09:00:18 PM) inode0: not in NA (09:00:19 PM) ke4qqq: yes (09:00:25 PM) ke4qqq: btw if you aren't on the map..... (09:00:49 PM) ***ke4qqq searches for link to map (09:01:44 PM) ***ke4qqq can't find it (09:01:53 PM) jds2001: gack (09:01:57 PM) ke4qqq: I'll email the list and ask you to put yourself on it if you aren't already (09:02:04 PM) lcafiero: rislam I think sent an e-mail about it today (09:02:06 PM) ***jds2001 missed it, right? (09:02:08 PM) lcafiero: Let me see if I can find it. (09:02:13 PM) ke4qqq: no still going on jds2001 (09:02:40 PM) LinuxKnight: fp.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Regions (09:02:42 PM) LinuxKnight: ? (09:02:43 PM) lcafiero: Is this it? (09:02:44 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Active (09:02:48 PM) lcafiero: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Regions (09:03:11 PM) ke4qqq: yeah both are it (09:03:28 PM) inode0: should use Regions though (09:03:43 PM) ke4qqq: yeah prolly should - that other word is verboten (09:03:58 PM) ***ke4qqq makes note to delete that page (09:03:59 PM) ***DemonJester adding himself right after meeting (09:04:16 PM) ke4qqq: so if nothing further lets talk about jaa's message to the list. (09:04:59 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: want to start with your thoughts while I find a link to the message? (09:05:27 PM) ke4qqq: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-August/msg00254.html (09:05:28 PM) zodbot: (at www.redhat.com) (09:05:49 PM) inode0: to be fair any thoughts now are initial reactions since there hasn't really been time for that much thought (09:06:37 PM) dramsey: Do we know what happened and/or why this message was sent? (09:06:45 PM) inode0: and my initial reaction to it was that it sounds more like a Red Hat project than it does a Fedora project currently (09:06:49 PM) ke4qqq: yes - perhaps I should tell that - (09:07:32 PM) iWolf: inode0: those were my exact thoughts as well - again, initial reaction. (09:08:14 PM) ke4qqq: ummm Jack sent a message a few months back saying he was going to start a campus rep program that was separate. He promised a wiki page RSN. a few weeks back he attended a meeting and there was some disconnect - we had real problems communicating (technical ones), and then a blog post which we assumed involved the campus rep program (because it didn't say otherwise) (09:08:16 PM) jds2001: i filter ambassadors mail and barely have time to read it. (09:08:30 PM) jds2001: a brief read of that, though - leaves me with the same feeling (09:08:57 PM) dramsey: ke4qqq understood. :) (09:09:00 PM) ke4qqq: so anyway I fired off an email expressing my concern (09:09:29 PM) ke4qqq: and he talked with inode0, quaid and I in irc and promised to send a mail. He also said he was going to be around for the meeting, but had a family emergency in LA and is in the air even as we type (09:10:31 PM) inode0: this sounds like it will be quite some time before Fedora would be involved so I think I'm interested in pursuing our own initiatives now (09:10:49 PM) lcafiero: This is the first I've heard of most of this, but then I'm new, however I did get to talk to Jack about this at LinuxWorld. (09:10:50 PM) dramsey: ke4qqq thank you. :) (09:10:53 PM) inode0: it also sounds like it doesn't really overlap much with things I have in mind (09:11:05 PM) lcafiero: The e-mail seems to focus on what's NOT going to happen, as opposed to what IS going to happen (09:11:27 PM) inode0: That was largely a reaction to our earlier conversation I'm afraid. (09:11:35 PM) lcafiero: Ah. (09:12:01 PM) ke4qqq: so the concerns (from my perspective) are really - this isn't an open process - ie it's being kept quiet (until recently) and is likely to stay quiet. (09:12:36 PM) iWolf: ke4qqq: that is my major concern as well. (09:12:36 PM) lcafiero: agreed (09:12:40 PM) inode0: I'm in favor of proposing what we'd like to do, if he thinks any of it would interfere he can let us know (09:12:56 PM) lcafiero: inode +1 (09:13:04 PM) lcafiero: inode0 (sorry) (09:13:36 PM) ke4qqq: so read the mail - resesarch on the marketing list the earlier posts - talk with jack - he says he will be here next week. (09:13:50 PM) ke4qqq: I personally want to avoid the 'eat your brane' problem (09:13:58 PM) dramsey: Me, too. (09:14:06 PM) lcafiero: Agendize this for next week? (09:14:11 PM) inode0: I can propose several fairly concrete things (09:14:21 PM) ke4qqq: http://lwn.net/Articles/83360/ (09:15:01 PM) jtaber: I was a bit puzzled as to some comments - here are some of my thoughts: 1) curriculum implemtation is hard - must go thru faculty committees, etc. But having one I guess makes it easier for any that want to implement it 2) I think the student club idea is good - we could sponsor student fedora club leaders with t-shirts (they like that) 3) students don't present a face to faculty - and faculty is used to corporate sponsorship in (09:16:29 PM) inode0: (1) is definitely hard and it makes perfect sense to work with one or two schools to get a model implemented (09:16:49 PM) ke4qqq: yes - but it should be an open process IMO - seneca has certailny opened up with them (09:16:59 PM) inode0: that is probably the only point I strongly agree with (09:17:58 PM) dramsey: Good point. (09:17:59 PM) inode0: I don't think RHH should be a program with elite schools - actually hearing that was discouraging but again maybe it sounded different than it was meant (09:18:01 PM) ke4qqq: anyone else want to comment. (09:18:26 PM) inode0: and RHH is not a Fedora project, it is a Red Hat project (09:18:54 PM) lcafiero: reading e-mail more in depth -- wondering how RH/Fedora project mesh, if at all. (09:19:14 PM) ***DemonJester wondering the same thing.. (09:19:16 PM) LinuxKnight: +1..., sounded more like a RH thing, with maybe some ambassadors helping on the side... (09:19:21 PM) iWolf: the lack of openness is a big issue with me, as others have said - this looks more like a RH project than a Fedora project. (09:19:41 PM) inode0: there is overlap, the new Fedora scholarships being an example, but again a Red Hat driven program so far as I can tell (09:19:50 PM) iWolf: I also think the ambassadors fits into the campus reps thing quite well, why reinvent the wheel here. (09:19:58 PM) lcafiero: Agreed. Openness is a strike issue with me. (09:20:11 PM) ke4qqq: which is GREAT - if it involves RH - but if it is Fedora - then it needs to be open and allow for involvement, IMO - initial reaction (09:20:19 PM) iWolf: ke4qqq: agreed. (09:20:50 PM) dramsey: Must go, thank you folks, til next week. :) (09:20:59 PM) ke4qqq: thanks dramsey (09:21:12 PM) inode0: so let's move forward with our agenda - when they think we can help we can revisit it (09:21:21 PM) lcafiero: I talked with Jack at LinuxWorld (we were in the booth together) and we talked briefly about how 1. might work with my own group on campus (09:21:47 PM) lcafiero: But let's move on. (09:22:32 PM) inode0: lcafiero: I wasn't trying to stop this conversation - just suggesting we propose what we'd like to do and proceed (09:22:41 PM) jtaber: I see students working more with Fedora on their own machines to get latest and greatest as opposed to RHEL on school machines so still think Fedora plays part in student user groups (09:23:14 PM) inode0: true although those tracking this see a fairly steep decline over recent years (09:23:41 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: I don't know that we are in a position to propose anything yet - other than openness perhaps. (09:23:51 PM) inode0: I am :) (09:24:20 PM) lcafiero: Should we all answer Jack's e-mail with our concernes on list to see if there can be some sort of discussion? (09:24:20 PM) inode0: I'll write up some thoughts for us to chew on (09:24:26 PM) ke4qqq: YES!!! +1 lcafiero (09:24:32 PM) iWolf: lcafiero: +1 (09:24:43 PM) jtaber: +1 (09:25:08 PM) iWolf: inode0: i would be interested in seeing your thoughts. i hate to see the ambassadors stall out over what seems to be a RH initiative. (09:25:14 PM) ke4qqq: ok - so the people who spoke up here - dramsey, jtaber iWolf LinuxKnight lcafiero inode0 and I are all responsible for a post to the list. (09:25:29 PM) inode0: I talked with gregdek about this a long time ago and asked what was the #1 thing Red Hat would like from universities (09:25:58 PM) inode0: His answer was a decisive one: an open source curriculum where students learned real open source development skills (09:26:01 PM) lcafiero: I'm on it. (09:26:31 PM) inode0: That made perfect sense to me coming from Red Hat (09:27:03 PM) DemonJester: future talent pool... (09:27:08 PM) ke4qqq: seneca has that - but honestly aside from faculty who are ambassadors I don't think we are in a place to make that call (09:27:39 PM) lcafiero: Our G/LUG has some pull at our college -- faculty is very sympathetic (09:28:15 PM) inode0: and I'm not sure that is such a high priority with what Fedora might want most either, although no one would object to that (09:29:13 PM) ke4qqq: alright - well anything else we can discuss tonight? (09:29:29 PM) inode0: there is a huge pool of potential contributors to all parts of the Fedora project at universities just waiting to be engaged (09:29:46 PM) inode0: engaging more of them is a higher priority right now to me (09:29:59 PM) lcafiero: Plus, we are working in california to network all the state university/UC campus LUGs (09:30:05 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: +1 (09:30:10 PM) iWolf: inode0: +1 (09:30:47 PM) ke4qqq: probably students who don't know they are even eligible to get involved. (09:31:39 PM) jtaber: at our events, we can make extra effort to speak with interested students (09:32:05 PM) ke4qqq: and work to get in front of groups of students - esp those who aren't CS students - like marketing or art students (09:32:20 PM) ke4qqq: who can get real experience in a product that actually ships....

Perhaps disappointed is a word I might choose. Finding out that the University Tour was happening by seeing a line item in the Fedora budget for the then current quarter after it was too late to make any contribution at all was very disappointing and makes me wonder who is doing the planning of these programs since they all seem to be planned before I know anything about them? > After my > brief comments at the NA ambassadors meeting a few weeks I would like to > outline what has been going on to provide some clarity as well a grounds for > discussions for everything.

Who is the "we" you keep mentioning? I have to say that when people who aren't even known to the community make a decision to "keep things quiet" they are in fact working in secret. It is not a case of anyone being confused about it. > First of all, let me make a few thing we are *NOT* trying to do clear, based > mostly off concerns people have brought to my attention: > > 1.

I am going to assume the "we" is Red Hat since they are likely to be the most concerned about press punch. Correct me if you aren't talking about Red Hat making this decision and Red Hat doing the planning of the program. > 2.

I haven't got this sense of concern but it is good to make it clear. I think existing ambassadors have some concern that you are missing an opportunity to make good use of existing ambassadors already in place. If I understood our previous discussions we would only be talking about around 20 student ambassadors to start with which would not be any burden on us. We are currently working to identify new areas we can help in and this one seems a very good fit (this one meaning academic outreach in general). > 3.

Please elaborate on the idea that strategic partnerships with certain key universities is important to Fedora. Partnerships doing what?

Getting adoption of a curriculum that teaches commonly used development methodologies is important. It is important to companies including Red Hat to get a better equipped talent pool coming out of college, it is important to the entire community to increase the pool of skilled talent. And knowing how academia works, it makes perfect sense to focus on a very small number of schools to work with to build an example curriculum that can later be used by others. > 2.

Encouraging student advocacy and involvement should be a key goal for any Fedora backed initiative in the academic world. Students can reach other students especially in ways that others can't. There is great value in having student advocacy. I'm not so sure about being an effective interface to the faculty - they could be in some cases but in others the transient nature of students makes maintaining a long term relationship difficult. Having a faculty member be a face of Fedora on campus would be far better for some of these things and even a campus staff member who often may interact with the same faculty over a long time frame could be beneficial. The way you've presented this it again sounds like a Red Hat initiative, not a Fedora initiative. Believe me that I am a huge supporter of Red Hat's academic programs. But I also think that if this is really supposed to be the "Fedora Education Strategy" then the Fedora community should be doing the planning and it should be accountable, not someone in Red Hat. > 3.

If RHH doesn't remain open to any talented kid this will make me very sad. I hope whatever is happening with "elite" (that makes my skin crawl by the way) high schools is in addition to what RHH already is and does not replace it. What does RHH have to do with Fedora?

The potential for reaching students and communicating the opportunities within Fedora and the larger open source community are terribly exciting. My concerns are as follows: Lack of openness One of the things we've talked about in IRC and I'll reiterate here is that lack of openness makes people think the worst. I think that largely such things have little if any place within the Fedora community - there are a few exceptions, but I am not sure that this is one of them. I also don't see the benefit - I know we talked about making a big splash at Seneca in October, but that type of 'marketing' is more reminiscent of Steve Jobs than of Fedora. Lack of opportunity By doing a small pilot and restricting participation I am afraid we risk turning away potential contributors. Now when I say that I am not advocating going full bore advertising - but there is a difference between something being open to anyone, letting people self-nominate and keeping it limited to $select_colleges. This actually shocks me that we'd try to actively restrict who can get involved in program. I am also shocked at the lack of opportunity to participate in the process of planning it out. There are some people who heavily think that academia is a must-tap for OSS progress that would love to offer their time, expertise, and connections. Lack of taking advantage of resources. Within the Fedora Ambassadors, Marketing Project, and even the wider Fedora contributor base there are already some significant resources that aren't being tapped. For instance, there exists a sizeable group of students, faculty and staff at colleges already. Why are we trying to apparently start this effort from scratch? Seems counter-intuitive, especially given the nature of Fedora. Why not start there, take the Larry Cafieros and Yaakov Nemoys and others.

The vendor doing the shirts is in Bowling Green (northern Ohio), whereas OLF is in Columbus (central Ohio), so we'd still need to bulk ship them to OLF and distribute them there, and then individually ship them to Ambassadors who aren't coming to OLF. Another idea might be to get some funding from FAMSCO to front money for a bulk order and then there would be some on-hand inventory for Ambassadors to purchase them and reimburse FAMSCO. I don't know to what extent this would make things less complex, but it would reduce costs a bit and make the polos more immediately available. - pascal From david at gnsa.us Wed Aug 20 21:19:36 2008 From: david at gnsa.us (David Nalley) Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:19:36 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] new user introducing himself In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 4:50 PM, Neville A.

Just a reminder to see the Max mail about the Q3 budget for event owners only eof we'll talk about budget in this meeting, when we get to events spevack: +1 yes, it was only a reminder to check the M-L Ok, next...Report current status of Ambassadors Membership There are now over 500 ambassadors registered in the FAS. Check http://jeffreyt.fedorapeople.org/ambassador-metrics/ for details Now Events Please open Fedora Events http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents Let's start with FrOSCon. anybody? ! FrOSCon is this coming weekend. ! I will be there, along with Robert Albrecht, and a few others. I am giving a talk on Saturday. I also have a bunch of Fedora 9 Live CDs (the nice ones, same that we had at LinuxTag) we were hoping to have the new t-shirts for this event, but they are not ready in time. That is my fault, and i apologize. EOF cwickert, ? * ianweller lurks has anybody details about accomondation? I called up Regina hitel but the lady wasn't able to tell me if they have reservations for us also tried to contact Robert Albrecht by mail, but no response cwickert: it was my understanding that romal was making reservation for us at hotel regina cwickert: i am just going to show up and ask for a room :) if they don't have my name! spevack: mine too, they have a bunch of reservations for "FrOSCon" but not sure if we were taken into account will try to figure that out tomorrow and then inform you eof wonderer1, cwickert: thanks :) cwickert: see you on friday or saturday! eof wonderer1, spevack: if thera where some CDs over I would be pleased if you could have them reserved them for an Event in Oktober. And if somebody have 1 or 2 Polos over (XXL) I also would be pleased. Thanks. eof wonderer1: CDs, I can give you. Will you either /msg me or email me your address and how many you want. Polos, I do not have any. wonderer1: maybe I can borrow you a polo ! GeroldKa, maybe we should try to figure out who else need the Ambassador Polo and try to order at least for FAd good eveing btw eof :-) are we done with FrOSCon? hi GeroldKa! EOF cwickert: thanks. will see how it goes with kital with new ones ... but thanks so far. fabian_a: yes, i think so FUDCon: this is for spevack bonsoir MrTom FUDCon... well, are there any questions? it is in 16 days. everyone who is coming should already be signed up If you signed up for hotel, that will be fully paid for 100% by Fedora and I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL event. It has been a long time since we had a FUDCon in Europe, and this will be the first of an annual EMEA FUDcon any questions? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConBrno2008 ? EOF GeroldKa: how many registered attendees, Max? 110 sounds not so bad it is about what I was expecting and which number from Fedora? more may still register GeroldKa: i don't know the exact breakdown of Red Hat employees from Czech Republic, Red Hat employees from Germany or other parts of Europe, and Fedora contributors, but I think there is a very good mix. Just looking over the names, there are a lot of people who I already know, and a lot of people who i have never met, so for me, it is a chance to get lots of people either more involved in fedora, or introduced to how to contribute to fedora EOF thanks spevack any other comments or questions about FUDCon? next year, we will pick another location in Europe. It will move around :) ! GeroldKa, Just an idea, but why not at LinuxSolution Paris to show the french part of the world, that we are belong to them? just an idea .... eof let's move on...OpenExpo well, we (meaning Fedora Project) will certainly support LinuxSolution Paris, but I don't think we want to do one FUDCon in September and another in January. too close together. Also, the budget has already been decided through the end of February 2009, and there isn't money for another FUDCon. But it is important that we continue to support the French ambassadors, which is why I had a meeting with MrTom and all the others a few weeks ago. EOF sorry fabian_a :) ! there is still a month to go. spevack, I want to talk about the budget for OpenExpo because we have so many events, and I want to make sure that everyone has what they need, but also the money disappears fast. Right now, we have budgeted $1000 USD (approx. 650 EUR) for the event. Do you think that is more than we need? what are the costs to Fedora for OpenExpo? I will bring CDsw which are already purchased We will bring some of our new t-shirts, which hopefully we can sell to make the money back. the accommodation is still not fixed, CDs are fixed, stickers are fixed fabian_a: we have stickers already? yepp, the small ones form Marco from LinuxTag around 30 pieces ! fabian_a: well, i would like to get more stickers made for general EMEA usage fabian_a: so let me just say this. me has also such stickers, also that much The budget is 650 EUR, but it would be nice if we could not use all of that, because I think we will be happy if we have some extra money that we can use for other EMEA events later on in the quarter. EOF if we need beds in a hotel we need the money because there are at least 3 people who need a bed fabian_a: well, that is why we have budget :) i will take care that we don't need all the money fro this event aber sicher ist es nicht any more questions about OpenExpo? i think we probably need to get more stickers made at some point, that we can use at different events in EMEA. If someone wants to take care of that, we can use some budget to pay for it, as long as we agree on all the prices before we have them produced. stickers are easy to mail from one person to another ;) EOF ! GeroldKa, we should order Marco to take care for them they were excellent and not expensive +1 eof s/order Marco/kindly request Marco/ +1 +1 another +1 +1 +1 sorry for my awful english :-) yes and thanks kanarip kanarip: :) kanarip: I ORDER YOU TO WRITE CODE :) it's so easy giving out orders like that to people like me who will tell marco that he will be in charge about the stickers? maybe GeroldKa? who has the good relationship with Marco? I can, if someone tells me how much $ he should spend red_alert: it depends how much it costs ;) spevak: petreu has, they shared a room at Berlin how many stickers can we get for 200 EUR? 300 EUR? etc. .. done ... :-) and then we just fit it into the budget somewhere. ;) EOF I asked for a quote @ Marco by mail ok what's next? there are still some events left PCL5. SFD 2008, GITEX, LinuxDay ! er, nevermind. :) go ahead maybe I will take the LinuxDay LinuxDay is italy, right? all the italian ambassadors are organizing that. yes, it is fugolini, fcrippa, lfoppiano, etc. this one is in austria fabian_a: ah :) ! if i can say one thing first, fugolini ? absolutely yes there are "LinuxDay" in Italy and Austria LinuxDay in Austria was listed on the FedoraEvents page, but it had no owner. So on August 1, when we started making the FAMSco budget, we did not give that event any budget since it had no owner. if we still want to do the event, then we will have to take budget away from other events. EOF Linuxday in Italy does have owners, and therefore it does have budget :) EOF how important is the Austria event, compared to all the other things we want to do in September - November? we have one or two Ambassadors in Austria are either of them at this meeting? but not very active here :-( i guess that it will be only a small event, not very important I'm really sure they do a good job but not really in that way that we know about, unfortunately * spevack shrugs... we have to make tough choices. no owner by the deadline, which was discussed many times on f-ambassadors-l, so no budget. if they show up and want to try to make the event happen, we will see what we can do. That is my opinion. we are trying to do 7 events in EMEA with a budget of about 4000 EUR. It's hard, I know. I am sorry that not every event gets all the budget that it wants... spevack: the event is near the German and the Swiss border i hope we can do better next year, with more budget overall for Fedora. fabian_a: if we can still pull it together for comparatively little, then if we have extra budget from OpenExpo we could use it for Austria. fabian_a: i leave it up to you? * fugolini This is the total number of events by quarter -> Q1: 28 - Q2: 26 - Q3: 37 spevack: ok, i will think about my attendance fabian_a: we still have time to figure it all out :) spevack: yes, we have if we haven't a owner, it makes not sense to take care for a budget, does it? thinking about Austria ! GeroldKa: right... but if Fabian is willing to take ownership, and if he can save money from his openexpo budget, then i have no problem. we have stretched the events part enough...anything else about PCL5. SFD 2008, GITEX, Athens Digital Week, Install Fest Paris or FAD this is part of the philosophy of trying to allow individual ambassadors freedom with their budgets, for events that are near them. ! i have a few quick comments then fugolini needs to talk :) GITEX -- john babich is going. he did a good job last year we have some budget for him this year again Athens digital week came after the deadline... i am sorry about that for dimitris, but we have no budget for it right now. i will talk to him about it at FUDCon All the french speaking events, i leave to MrTom, and budget has been set aside for him. EOF fugolini: ... nothing, going on, it's late :) fugolini: sorry if i took too much time absolutely no problem fabian_a: what else? NPO: There are no news from Fedora EMEA as far as I know. Now the stage is open...anything else? Any more questions or issues before we close this meeting? ! red_alert, just some words about FAD EMEA 2008 I already sent out a reminder to the people who did not yet confirm their attendance, I hope to get the outstanding answers soon if there's some questions or an issue, feel free to contact me, I'll try to help as good as I can unfortunately, we're very limited on budget we have managed to increase the budget for the event, which will hopefully help a little bit. but we are still on a tight budget. We picked a very expensive place :) ? the new budget plan says we have $2000, which is ok for the hotel but won't pay for food or travel $2000 = about 1250 EUR fugolini: Why we didn't book the last FAD place? we tried, but they were already full :( but $2000 are not the final budget, I hope...if people try not to spend all their event budget, the budget can get bigger after all. we might also get a little somewhat from fedora emea e.V. and there's a company in Switzerland that might sponsor us a little if FUDCon comes in under budget, we will take some of that for FAD EMEA and I am doing everything i can to get FUDCon in under budget by at least $1000 But it requires time before say yes or no As i said and, i think i'm not the only one, this friday is too early, just because i don't know if i will have the money resource by the date we will hold the meeting *for I'm trying to find fun events that are free of charge but still a lot of fun - I already have one very good idea there (surprise) I know, that this Friday is a very early deadline and I apologize for it red_alert: is there any chance to add one or two more people later on, if we tell them most of what we expect by this friday? Personally I can't say yes, just because it's really risky to say yes and be 20% sure but you see, the location of last year's FAD has no free rooms for all of november (not just the picked date!) the second hotel we asked, the same this is the third in the row and we were fortunate, that at exactly that weekend, they have some free rooms but they want us to book by Friday maybe I have another idea (in Germany) but first I need to check I will let you all know GeroldKa: that's what i have in mind :) but by the way, i'm sure at least one from Italy will attend I know fugolini, that you "know me" I planned to book the rooms we need for sure by Friday and let them know that we're interested in 1-2 more rooms but can't tell yet fugolini: if you guys can save some of the Linux Day Italy budget, then you can spend it to help with travel to FAD EMEA for Italians :) but due a lack of time I had to give up organisation for this FAD fugolini: I'm sure about two ;) * fcrippa is not sure about opportunity to save money on linuxday... actually we're looking for extra sponsor to reach all the 100 events in Italy.... ;-) btw, as I said, I know a company in Switzerland, that bases part of their business on Fedora (and also Ubuntu and others). I just dropped them a line to ask for some $ and they are really thinking about how much they can spend. if you know of such a company in your region, why not ask them too? particularly, if you have contacts to somewhere working there i think, that's it for know from my side EOF fcrippa: i am sorry that there isn't more budget. We have expanded so much all over the world! Too popular I guess ;) ! fcrippa, we will have a good case to make for next year's budget EOF from me I'm interested in "fedora sponsorships" too me too, thanks to red_alert and spevack for the organization. I know how difficult is organize such event with a small budget ops i'm referring to (23:09:52) spevack: EOF from me lol i've added a point on fad program but I'd like to know "policies" or general rules to start relationship to make sposnorship possible also from Italy have fedora emea got any ideas about that? fcrippa: we were talking abou that the other day... i think a DRAFT wiki page was created somewhere eof * spevack looks around ! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Sponsorship GeroldKa, I did set that up, yea: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Sponsorship fcrippa: keep in mind it is a DRAFT :) Just to let you know (to whom it may concern); I'm from now on afk until 2008-09-07 without Internet GeroldKa: have a great vacation! and now I go to bed (if we're done) *g* bye * fcrippa_ is back... sorry... wireless connection is terrible bad... ciao Gerold ... hy fcrippa ;-) fcrippa_: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Sponsorship ...in case you missed the link :) red_alert: yep, I missed :-) thanks! are we done for today? 20 15 10 5 4 3 2 1 Fedora Ambassadors Meeting EMEA 2008-08-20 has been adjourned.

Check http://jeffreyt.fedorapeople.org/ambassador-metrics/ for details === Events === ==== FrOSCon ==== MaxSpevack will be there, along with RobertAlbrecht, and a few others. He is giving a talk on Saturday. He also have a bunch of Fedora 9 Live CDs (the nice ones, same that we had at LinuxTag). We were hoping to have the new t-shirts for this event, but they are not ready in time. That is his fault, and he apologize. ChristophWickert asked about accomondation because the hotel wasn't able to tell him if they have reservations for Fedora. MaxSpevack said that they have a bunch of reservations for "FrOSCon" but he is not sure if we were taken into account ==== FUDCon ==== FUDCon will be in 16 days. Everyone who is coming should already be signed up. If you signed up for hotel, that will be fully paid for 100% by Fedora and MaxSpevack hope that everyone will have a WONDERFUL event. It has been a long time since we had a FUDCon in Europe, and this will be the first of an annual EMEA [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConBrno2008 FUDcon]. There are 110 registered attendees. MaxSpevack don't know the exact breakdown of Red Hat employees from Czech Republic, Red Hat employees from Germany or other parts of Europe, and Fedora contributors, but he think there is a very good mix. Next year, we will pick another location in Europe. It will move around :) GeroldKassube said that a possible option could be Linux Solution Paris. Fedora Project will certainly support LinuxSolution Paris, but MaxSpevack don't think we want to do one FUDCon in September and another in January. Too close together. Also, the budget has already been decided through the end of February 2009, and there isn't money for another FUDCon. But it is important that we continue to support the French ambassadors, which is why I had a meeting with MrTom and all the others a few weeks ago. ==== OpenExpo ==== So far there are $1000 USD (approx. 650 EUR) budgeted for this event. The confirmed booth person is MaxSpevack, TimeaRusz, and FabianAffolter. FabianAffolter invited all Swiss Fedora contributors to attend but the feedback is unsatisfactory. Red Hat will be there too. The accommodation is still not fixed, CDs are fixed, stickers are fixed. We will bring some of our new t-shirts, which hopefully we can sell to make the money back. The budget is 650 EUR, but it would be nice if we could not use all of that, because MaxSpevack think that we will be happy if we have some extra money that we can use for other EMEA events later on in the quarter. ==== LinuxDay Italy ==== The Italian Ambassadors are organizing the attendance at this events. Linuxday in Italy does have owners, and therefore it does have budget. ==== LinuxDay Austria ==== This events have no budget if we still want to do the event, then we will have to take budget away from other events. FabianAffolter will think about his attendance === Stickers === MaxSpevack think we probably need to get more stickers made at some point, that we can use at different events in EMEA. If someone wants to take care of that, we can use some budget to pay for it, as long as we agree on all the prices before we have them produced. He would like to get more stickers made for general EMEA usage. GeroldKassube will ask MarcoZiesing to care about the stickers. The budget will be around 200 EUR. === PoloShirts === GeroldKassube said that maybe we should try to figure out who else need the Ambassador Polo and try to order at least for FAD 2008. === FAD EMEA 2008 === SandroMathys already sent out a reminder to the people who did not yet confirm their attendance. He hope to get the outstanding answers soon if there's some questions or an issue, feel free to contact him, he'll try to help as good as he can. Unfortunately, we're very limited on budget. The new budget plan says we have $2000 ($2000 = about 1250 EUR), which is ok for the hotel but won't pay for food or travel. SandroMathys hope...if people try not to spend all their event budget, the budget can get bigger after all. We might also get a little somewhat from Fedora EMEA e.V. and there's a company in Switzerland that might sponsor us a little. If FUDCon comes in under budget, we will take some of that for FAD EMEA and MaxSpevack is doing everything he can to get FUDCon in under budget by at least $1000. SandroMathys is trying to find fun events that are free of charge but still a lot of fun - He already have one very good idea there (surprise). === Sponsorship === SandroMathys knows a company in Switzerland, he just dropped them a line to ask for some $ and they are really thinking about how much they can spend. If you know of such a company in your region, why not ask them too? Particularly, if you have contacts to somewhere working there. FrancescoCrippa Is not sure about opportunity to save money on LinuxDay... actually they're looking for extra sponsor to reach all the 100 events in Italy.... -> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Sponsorship -- Fingerprint: 2F6C 930F D3C4 7E38 6AFA 4EB4 E23C D2DD 36A4 397F Fedora always leads and never follows.

Very Nice, but educational programs are very different in different places. Here in Argentina my chosen role, was promote Fedora on Digital break Access, something that Red Hat in the region could not spread correctly. Absense of Red Hat Educational Strategy ( in exception of Brazil ) generates "black holes" in Digital Break reduction. Be only focused on only High School programs is always let other parts alone. We cannot start a worldwide education program around only few tips. Educational strategy must be concerned around all aspects of education. We cannot start from a "all people are in the university", in some places on earth, like here, no all the people has this capability or access.. >> 3.

Of course its a great idea, even thought i dont know who could think that this gonna split ambassador program, but in one month, i will have the evidences in REAL LIFE, that no only high school educational strategy is the main target. We must learn from the past around OLPC program. This program fails in most of countries. Educatioal strategy was US centralized, and was not focused on real needs of each country. Now, if we want to go to a global educational strategy, all parts of the process must be considered. Strategy implies, more than strategy, implies concense...

It's called LinuxDay [1] (they use the same name as in Italy). We talked about this yesterday during the Amassadors meeting. Location : University of Applied Sciences, Dornbirn, Austria Date : November, 29 2008 Time : 09:00 till 18:00 The Fedora Project was never present before at this event. I would like to see a Fedora booth or Fedora table there. If you are interested to represent Fedora at this event, please drop me a line. The deadline for the "Call for papers" will be at the end of September. Because of that I would like to make a decision within the next two or three weeks if Fedora will be there or not. We missed the deadline for budget. It's only a one day event and I will try not to spend all the money for OpenExpo ;-) .

Anyway critizes transparency, but if this happens, hope that change, not change our community...anyway a nice example of this is openSUSE, even tought the agreement of MS and Novell, openSUSE grows all the time...

Please help and support me to > organise such event in my region for the first time. It is great to know that you have taken the onus of organizing a Fedora event at Manipur. I recall that the Linux-Manipur group keeps on organizing regular events. Would it be possible for you to check up with them ? The reason I suggest this is that it would lead to a coupling of forces and provide you with the existing contacts to organize a Fedora 10 release party perhaps. A release party is generally a whole lot of fun since you get to meet new people, help each other resolve niggling issues while installation and configuration and have a great time within the group. If waiting for Fedora 10 release seems too long, you can take up September 20th (Software Freedom Day) and organize a meetup with the agenda of: + talk about Free and Open Source Software + introducing participants to Fedora + handing out Fedora 9 media + talking a bit about how to participate and contribute to Fedora If you require any kind of support please feel free to drop into #fedora-india (on irc.freenode.net) or the fedora-india at redhat.com mailing list (which I put in cc:) -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From bochecha at fedoraproject.org Fri Aug 22 08:30:18 2008 From: bochecha at fedoraproject.org (Mathieu Bridon (bochecha)) Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:30:18 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Ambassadors] Red Hat VMware romours : what about Fedora?

Sure, everything is open in our community. Like what is happening right now with the infrastructure. And like what happened in this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2008-August/msg00102.html (see particularly David Nalley's answer) Am I the only one wondering if this whole "we're an open community, a community driven project where everyone can take a part" was not only an illusion ? At least, I think we've had a lack of communication / openness on some important points lately. Sorry for my pessimism.

We need to have some transparency all along the way, especially in this case. Not only it is a problem for the new members of the community, who find a OS where it is better not to update at the moment (It has been one week I believe), but also for old ones because one can't find the reason why. What is happening right is most of this new members, along with some of the old ones, are making suppositions. And this, again it is only my opinion, makes us look like the community can't deal with its own problems, and needs to close the gates and let the pros do the job. Anyway I hope we would soon have some feedbacks. Matthieu Rondeau -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Frields" Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:00:02 -0400 To: fedora-announce-list Last week we discovered that some Fedora servers were illegally accessed. The intrusion into the servers was quickly discovered, and the servers were taken offline. Security specialists and administrators have been working since then to analyze the intrusion and the extent of the compromise as well as reinstall Fedora systems. We are using the requisite outages as an opportunity to do other upgrades for the sake of functionality as well as security. Work is ongoing, so please be patient. Anyone with pertinent information relating to this event is asked to contact fedora-legal at redhat.com. One of the compromised Fedora servers was a system used for signing Fedora packages. However, based on our efforts, we have high confidence that the intruder was not able to capture the passphrase used to secure the Fedora package signing key. Based on our review to date, the passphrase was not used during the time of the intrusion on the system and the passphrase is not stored on any of the Fedora servers. While there is no definitive evidence that the Fedora key has been compromised, because Fedora packages are distributed via multiple third-party mirrors and repositories, we have decided to convert to new Fedora signing keys. This may require affirmative steps from every Fedora system owner or administrator. We will widely and clearly communicate any such steps to help users when available. Among our other analyses, we have also done numerous checks of the Fedora package collection, and a significant amount of source verification as well, and have found no discrepancies that would indicate any loss of package integrity. These efforts have also not resulted in the discovery of additional security vulnerabilities in packages provided by Fedora. Our previous warnings against further package updates were based on an abundance of caution, out of respect for our users. This is also why we are proceeding with plans to change the Fedora package signing key. We have already started planning and implementing other additional safeguards for the future. At this time we are confident there is little risk to Fedora users who wish to install or upgrade signed Fedora packages. In connection with these events, Red Hat, Inc. detected an intrusion of certain of its computer systems and has issued a communication to Red Hat Enterprise Linux users which can be found at http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0855.html. This communication states in part, "Last week Red Hat detected an intrusion on certain of its computer systems and took immediate action. While the investigation into the intrusion is on-going, our initial focus was to review and test the distribution channel we use with our customers, Red Hat Network (RHN) and its associated security measures. Based on these efforts, we remain highly confident that our systems and processes prevented the intrusion from compromising RHN or the content distributed via RHN and accordingly believe that customers who keep their systems updated using Red Hat Network are not at risk. We are issuing this alert primarily for those who may obtain Red Hat binary packages via channels other than those of official Red Hat subscribers." It is important to note that the effects of the intrusion on Fedora and Red Hat are *not* the same. Accordingly, the Fedora package signing key is not connected to, and is different from, the one used to sign Red Hat Enterprise Linux packages. Furthermore, the Fedora package signing key is also not connected to, and is different from, the one used to sign community Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) packages. We will continue to keep the Fedora community notified of any updates. Thank you again for your patience. -- Paul W.

This was possible thanks to the great design of tlpkg metadata that is very easy parsable. And it is actually a result of desperate need to package TeX Live in some sensible way in Fedora. The RPMs are created by a bash script [1] that resolves a dependency tree for given set of schemes/collections/packages and generates package descriptions, filelists and requirements. Then a final spec is generated from "_main.spec" template. The script allows either to have each package separately within one huge spec file which will result in a possibility to install any package in TeX Live 2008 separately, but with the cost of very high number of subpackages (~4000+). Another option is to have only schemes and collections within spec with an assumption that collections won't conflict. This reduces number of subpackages to ~400. The generated specs can be seen here [2] for TeX Live to be packaged solely to schemes and collections and here [3] for one RPM subpackage for each TeX Live package (+collections and schemes dependent on them). Please note that the script is still under development and it doesn't yet generate %post actions for packages even though the code is mostly designed but untested (and heavily based on install-tl). The size-sorted list of RPMs for the collection only install can be seen in [4].

An event that is receiving funding from FAmSCo needs an owner, and submitted prior to budget deadline, but aside from this there is no restriction - any event regardless of size is welcome. As for whether Nicaragua is in North or South America - Pragmatically South America is probably the right choice. Mexico, while certainly in NA, is considered SA because of the language problem, and Rodrigo speaks Spanish, while precious few US or Canadian Ambassadors speak Spanish, much to our chagrin.

It is always a good idea to give communities with own culture a special place to find the way into the FedoraProject - to start a chinese forum seems the right way. Our Goal to find new valuable Contributors, leads in a large part over the Fedora users. Show them that they have the chance - not only to consume - also to participate. Do not forget - the FedoraInfrastructure is the place where your contributions should happen - please do not avoid power use what we achieved right now and help to make it better. Maybe start to translate the Fedora Wiki to Chinese/Mandarin ...? > Now we are doing basic and development plan for this new site. We have > determinded to use VBB programme to set up this site.

One thing - the fedora-announce-list is not the place for this discussion as the name says it is for announcements. And one another thing - as we know, a lot Chinese People are using Fedora, personally i am very happy to see people like you take the big challenge with great energy to show them the way to have the Freedom to use and develop Free Software!

Since some months ago, I'm working with Red Hat Iberia employees on a plan to adopt for spreading Fedora in the Spain area. First of all, we could start to write a list of events (FOSS/Educational-related) that will be held in Spain this year. We unfortunately missed this year's Campus Party in Valencia [ http://www.campus-party.es/ ] but I'll try, next year, to be there to represent The Fedora Project. Probably the second biggest event, next July the 'Gran Canaria Desktop Meeting' (Gnome + KDE developers and users' conference) will be held in Gran Canaria [ http://grancanariadesktopmeeting.eslic.es/index.php/GUADEC_Akademy_english ]. We seem to have the manpower and all the resources needed to achieve a great result, who want a chance to be part of the spanish Fedora team? If you're interested, I'd like to schedule a meeting on IRC for this or the next week.

Pessoas pediram para que fossem instados em seus pendrives o Fedora com Gnome, fizemos tudo via LiveUSB-Creator. Em virtude do curto per?odo de tempo at? o encerramento do primeiro dia do evento, nos limitamos a isto somente. Dia 20 Foi iniciado o curso do Guilherme (RazGriz) "O GIMP para mentes criativas", com alguns contra-tempos, Guilherme come?a suas atividades com tranq?ilidade, e consegue contornar uns problemas isolados que tivemos no evento. J? na nossa barraca tivemos um movimento bem maior do que o do dia 19, em vista de que estavamos distribuindo m?dias (DVD X86 32Bits e LiveCD-Gnome), queimando ISO's de DVD X86 64Bits e instalando fedora em pendrives (louvado seja o liveusb-creator :D), bem como o Rodrigo Padula, estava com 2 XO's e 1 ClassMate para exposi??o e posteriormente iria utilizar em uma palestra. Dia 21 As atividades come?aram mais cedo um pouco, pois tivemos que alem de continuar o install fest e o burn fest do projeto, ajuda a organiza??o em rela??o ao streamming de video que teve-se durante o evento. Rodrigo Padula deu a sua palestra "Sugar/Fedora ? Laptops Educacionais". Guilherme est? bem confiante sobre o potencial de sua turma e acredita em um bom aproveitamento do curso. Eu, que tive problemas com rede sem-fio recebi da organiza??o, um Access Point para a nossa tenda, o que facilitou o install-fest em notebooks, saldo total de notebooks e desktops instalados fedora: 12 Maquinas, in?meras m?dias e instala??es em pendrives. Dia 22 Guilherme teve sua palestra submetida na grade, marcada para as 13:00 sobre o "Mini criativo", Padula teve sua palestra "Fedora - Potencialidades de um sistema GNU/Linux" ministrada, sem muitos contratempos tambem, estive presente na palestra do Padula, inclusive fiquei na mesa, para ajudar com o que fosse nescess?rio. Eu (Lucas), esqueci as m?dias ja gravadas em casa, por isso passei o dia todo instalando Fedora em maquinas e Pendrives, os usuarios que traziam DVDs ou Cds, eu queimava as isos sem problemas. Dia 23 Por problemas de ordem maior, Rodrigo Padula nao se sentiu apto a ministra a palestra, deixando-me no encargo de fazer-la uma vez que o Guilherme, o outro embaixador, consequentemente mais experiente, estava ministrando mini-cursos. Para aliviar a tens?o da minha primeira palestra, despensei o microfone, e solicitei que o publico se aproximasse mais do palco para que todos podessem me escutar sem o microfone, a palestra foi um sucesso, tivemos v?rias perguntas de como participar do projeto e como proceder quando detectado algum bug, etc.. Na metade do dia, as m?dias acabaram-se, e tivemos que continuar somente queimando ISOs e instalando fedora em pendrives. Guilherme termina o mini-curso e aplica uma prova nos alunos para manter o n?vel de aprendizagem mais homogeneo. Gostaria de agradecer a organiza??o do CESoL, por ter nos dado esta chance de espalhar o projeto pelo cear? e de nos ter financiado algumas despesas. Em especial ao nosso amigo Roberto Parente que foi muito atencioso com os convidados, tornando assim a nossa estadia no evento um total sucesso, vamos agora come?ar a organiza??o para o pr?ximo evento de SL, aonde ser?, como iremos, onde durmiremos, onde comeremos, etc. Com exe??o de apenas alguns contra-tempos aqui ou ali, gostaria de salientar que o evento foi um completo sucesso ! Voc?s das UFC est?o de parab?ns! -- -- Atenciosamente, Lucas do Amaral Saboya CEFET-CE - UAB-CE.

As far as i know JensKuehnel and RobertAlbrecht are both members of the Chaos Computer Club. Jens is mostly on all of this Events like Chaos Camp or something else. If we want presence with a Talk on Chaos Computer Congress i am sure one of them can/will do it. I have add it as Topic to the next EMEA Meeting - we will discuss, if we go with what subject.

The Congress, camp, mrmcd's, other CCC related events are more security specific and more special. But if some Ambassadors with fedora Shirts will walk arround and show that their notebooks will be secure than it could be a good showing. More maybe at FAD EMEA to discuss.

Secondly see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents and add your event there. An advice: to request resources from FAmSCo you need to add your event one month before the beginning of the fiscal quarter, for example now you are late if you want to ask for resources for Q3 (September - November), but if you are considering creating/joining an event in the next quarter Q4 (December - February) you could be able to make the request (then FAmSCo will decide about this one). This was the formal side of answer, for the informal one I could only say: remember when you are in a public event you represent Fedora, and what you say is what people referring to Fedora. Another one: Be friendly and mix the technical skills with the joyful side: people will like this one. For the technical side: if you have a booth try to organize it in a well way so that people could see what Fedora people are offering (e.g. show a demo station with fedora). That's what I can say, naturally I'm pretty sure people around you, like Tushar could be more helpful than me. Regards Francesco Ugolini Naturally, feel free to ask here or FAmSCo.

Robert Albrecht and I were talking about this at FrOSCon. The dates of the conference are right in between Christmas and New Year's. But that's not the point. Robert's take was that the show isn't really a "you have a booth" kind of event, but rather something that we would want to try to get one or two really interesting talks at. If we had some topics that were particularly relevant for the audience, I'd be happy to try to support the event. --Max From tushar.neupaney at gmail.com Tue Aug 26 11:10:01 2008 From: tushar.neupaney at gmail.com (Tushar Neupaney) Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:55:01 +0545 Subject: [Ambassadors] How to Organise Fedora Event in my Region In-Reply-To: References: <7cb778c60808212121t10a6ff56n72453c186722d005@mail.gmail.com> <7cb778c60808252028p5f6a51fej16169f2c9fe6cef7@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1219749001.10251.10.camel@tushar-laptop> Thanks Franceso, Rishikesh you can write a mail to me @: tneupaney at gmail.com.

Dia 22 Guilherme teve sua palestra submetida na grade, marcada para as 13:00 sobre o "Mini criativo", Padula teve sua palestra "Fedora - Potencialidades de um sistema GNU/Linux" ministrada, sem muitos contratempos tambem, estive presente na palestra do Padula, inclusive fiquei na mesa, para ajudar com o que fosse nescess?rio. Eu (Lucas), esqueci as m?dias ja gravadas em casa, por isso passei o dia todo instalando Fedora em maquinas e Pendrives, os usuarios que traziam DVDs ou Cds, eu queimava as isos sem problemas. Dia 23 Por problemas de ordem maior, Rodrigo Padula nao se sentiu apto a ministra a palestra, deixando-me no encargo de fazer-la uma vez que o Guilherme, o outro embaixador, consequentemente mais experiente, estava ministrando mini-cursos. Para aliviar a tens?o da minha primeira palestra, despensei o microfone, e solicitei que o publico se aproximasse mais do palco para que todos podessem me escutar sem o microfone, a palestra foi um sucesso, tivemos v?rias perguntas de como participar do projeto e como proceder quando detectado algum bug, etc.. Na metade do dia, as m?dias acabaram-se, e tivemos que continuar somente queimando ISOs e instalando fedora em pendrives. Guilherme termina o mini-curso e aplica uma prova nos alunos para manter o n?vel de aprendizagem mais homogeneo. Gostaria de agradecer a organiza??o do CESoL, por ter nos dado esta chance de espalhar o projeto pelo cear? e de nos ter financiado algumas despesas. Em especial ao nosso amigo Roberto Parente que foi muito atencioso com os convidados, tornando assim a nossa estadia no evento um total sucesso, vamos agora come?ar a organiza??o para o pr?ximo evento de SL, aonde ser?, como iremos, onde durmiremos, onde comeremos, etc. Com exe??o de apenas alguns contra-tempos aqui ou ali, gostaria de salientar que o evento foi um completo sucesso ! Voc?s das UFC est?o de parab?ns! -- -- Atenciosamente, Lucas do Amaral Saboya CEFET-CE - UAB-CE.

I know for sure that a couple of ambassadors will attend The Congress, including me. But we do that not officially. I'm not sure if Fedora should go to The Congress. It's a more pure congress, no real exhibition, no booths. No, Suse, Ubuntu oder Debian. More like Gentoo, ARCHlinux, OpenBSD and Plan9. It's a hacker event and not a Linux-Event, but we could get a lot of very skilled people there. (not primarly social skills! :-)) If we go, we should bring some developers to it, it is not the normal event crowd there. If you don't know what you are talking the eat you alive! :-) The webpage ist: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/ I will help at the event, if we decide to do it.

It is a bit rushed since I wanted to get it out before the meeting this evening. I want to thank M?ir?n Duffy for kindly spending a lot of time sharing her thoughts on this subject, at least some of which are included below. Thanks to others too who have discussed this with me in the past, some of their ideas may be contained here as well. I think it is fair to say up front that this discussion really isn't a counteroffer of any sort to the plan outlined by Jack previously. That plan is designed around a set of goals that have merit and should be pursued in my opinion. Those goals are not entirely clear to me but surely overlap with some of the goals I have in mind. Let's think of this discussion as more one about what *other* stuff we might like to do. Goal #1: Awareness Before anyone can participate they need to be aware of the project. So we start with marketing. While activities like talks to the CS Club or to the school's LUG reach some students, they unfortunately miss the vast majority of people we need to reach to raise awareness of what Fedora has to offer. One key group I want to focus on are students from non-technical areas. We have ways to reach kids in Computer Science and Engineering programs. We need to reach out to kids in Design schools, in Business schools, in Marketing programs, and elsewhere. It is really easy for us to see how someone studying graphic design could find a niche in the Fedora project, it isn't easy for them to see that without our help. Lots of young people want to be involved, but they need others to help them get started. I'm open to all suggestions about how to effectively do this, I don't pretend to have the answer. One idea is to unleash a poster campaign directed at various need areas within the Fedora project for ambassadors to distribute to places where these students will see them. This sort of campaign has its limitations and would need to be carefully crafted so those whose eye we catch know where to go and what to do to have it be more than "oh, that looks cool" and on to the next poster. Perhaps we could give talks to the art club or to a marketing class? I'm afraid most of us aren't very well equipped to do that today but with some help from people currently working in those areas we could be trained a bit in the language and tools enough to give an effective pitch I think. While we are promoting Fedora and what it stands for we can think about doing that through some non-Fedora vehicles. Google's Summer of Code projects are something we could advertise and promote. Getting faculty member mentors, many already exist, also gives us a way to penetrate the consciousness of the faculty. Doing what we can to promote both mentoring by faculty/staff and facilitating the pairing of students with mentors might be another thing we could consider. Goal #2: Participation After awareness participation is key. It seems to me that the single biggest barrier here is being intimidated. Even within the college geek crowd this is a problem. I can't hack KDE so I'll use Fedora but not go any further. We need to get across to potential contributors the vast number of ways they can contribute without being an expert at writing code. Mentoring, Fedora mentoring, is critical to engaging new contributors in areas where they can feel useful quickly. Jon is working on this with the bug tracking folks, I'm sure others are also in other areas. For this community we should find some areas with fairly low technical barriers to new contributors. Bug triaging, documentation, marketing, art, and what else? The university I work at provides several opportunities for booths as well where technology is on display. Getting a small Fedora booth at these events would really be great. Ambassadors can chat with students and others who stop, find their areas of interest, show them sub-projects where those interests might fit into the Fedora project, and sign them up with accounts on the spot. While all of the above has a university focus we should definitely also spend time with high schools and even middle schools where there are opportunities to do so. We have unbelievable contributors currently in high school who mostly seem to find us by accident. While I can toss out some suggestions for things we might try with these schools I'd really like to hear from someone like Ian, if he wouldn't mind, about how he thinks that Fedora could be presented in high schools to engage more students. I realize that what I have written is far from a plan of action. It is more a stew of ideas. At some point a plan of action is necessary. For now I'm happy to throw more into the stew and see what we end up with for supper. John From lucas at cefetce.br Wed Aug 27 00:10:42 2008 From: lucas at cefetce.br (Lucas - Linux Sys.

Thanks for starting such a crucial discussion. I'm also willing to promote Fedora in my area. Until now I have only evangelized Fedora on a person-by-person basis. But now I want to address a gathering(something like a student group). For this very purpose, I'm going to announce the formation of a LUG very shortly in my university. I might also involve some experienced Fedora guys to come in and be a part of this inaugural session. I'm particularly interested in eliciting about *what exactly* to demonstrate to the audience so that they get hooked onto it instantly. I'm open to suggestions and further discussions regarding the same.

Hello, Thanks for sharing. I come from a business background and I am a part time teacher in a business school. What I have been trying to convince my fellows LUG is that a non-technical person does not care for OS. It is applications what they are looking for. Part of raising attention is to say: "Look to my computer, it is virus free!" Or you can tell accounting students to do their projects using GNUCash. And then you can explain to them that for that you install Fedora. You reassure them that chat, internet browsing and email will be more or less the same. The big questions are about word processing and electronic sheets, and again there is need to reassuse them that everything will be fine. I can not stress enough that non-technical user are really not aware of what is a OS, they are only looking for applications. I organized a small meeting with about 60 college students, inviting them so see what Free Software has to offer to them. We aimed to business students, but in the end we also gather people from economics, architecture and of course computing. We talk about how you migrate to Free Software, and we showed several applications to fulfill their common task running all of them in linux. Every one talking wanted to showoff their laptop, so we demonstrated a handful of distros. We have been invited to repeat this. I think that we covered in some way objective 1, awareness. The hard part is participation because you need to spoon feed babies, and spoon feeding takes time. There is a small group within the college, so what I want to do is to project them. Because if anybody takes the risk of installing Linux after our talk, probably they will have questions. The real problem is to create an arena where this support can be exchanged. Ideally new user will learn and help with minor issues and let bigger problems to the more experienced users. Non-technical people are not easily talk into use a list or forum. And here is were I am stuck, because there is a lot of good will from the computer faculty, but business faculty is a different fief. I haven't get the leverage to get a college wide authority to allocate resources for a inter faculty initiative. I hope it is just matter of time. We were thinking that a web page with a list of applications customized by areas of education, and fully localized may be a good resource. But we haven't get there yet. A final thought. It is really good to convert teachers into Fedora users, because they have a numerous audience. Again, it is needed to show that teachers can use fedora for all their tasks. I really hope that our experiences here in Nicaragua, may be useful. And please, if any of you feel that can advise me into improve what we have done, please do so. I will love to heard new ideas.

From friends that have ordered, I have heard that there is a monthly quota, and also that it takes time to arrive. Sometimes it takes about one month to receive the disk . I can see in a one-per-one basis that having free media has a big impact. Here in Nicaragua, I see how people prefer ubuntu because of that. But for an effort of 10K computers it won't work in the traditional channels.

I believe that is a good basis for beginning a policy. Please discuss, comment, flame, argue, and lets get something ready to present to the Fedora Board so they put their blessing on it.

If there isn't already a policy I'd like someone to explain why we need to create one before expending effort constructing one. If there is a real need fine, if not it is a waste of energy. And if there is a real need it should exist already I would expect.

I don't think you need permission at all. You just represented Fedora at your talk. This is what happens when developing policy - it always opens an endless can of worms. Writing policy that is useful is always hard, even for the simplest things. If you have doubts and have the opportunity check with the marketing group. If it just comes up then use your judgment.

We hope to acquire small notebooks for each event box. We will also attempt to acquire one XO for each box. + Plans to produce media for F10 proceeding, one or two runs of 3000 are possible. + FAD update and planning. + Planet aggregation continuing - some new ambassadors are on the planet. + Musts/Shoulds/Coulds - will try to get this out of draft in the next week or two. * The Education Strategy - Jack Aboutboul returned to discuss issues that were raised on f-a-l and to further discuss the work he is doing in this area. More discussion is expected. * Dealing with News Media - Larry Cafiero introduced us to a draft he is working on to help us more effectively deal with the media. This opened a discussion of whether a policy is needed to guide ambassadors in dealing with various media issues. Regardless of policy I think it is fair to say the work Larry presented will be a great help to the many ambassadors who may come in contact with the press in various situations. I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.

(08:21:40 PM) themayor: yo yo (08:21:54 PM) themayor: okay so i sent my piece to the list last week (08:22:15 PM) themayor: and ive culled from the responses what people are discontent over (08:22:49 PM) themayor: and i guess first i would like for anyone here to bring up their points and then i can address them and then move on to my general reaction (08:23:28 PM) ke4qqq: I think our concern is two fold generally (speaking only for myself) (08:23:46 PM) ke4qqq: 1. unlike other areas people aren't welcome to jump into help with this. (08:23:59 PM) ke4qqq: which gives the impression of it not being open (08:24:08 PM) ke4qqq: and all manner of bad mojo follows (08:24:10 PM) ke4qqq: and 2. (08:24:15 PM) themayor: yup (08:24:39 PM) lcafiero: [dragging up my e-mail to list] (08:24:42 PM) ke4qqq: it appears some of the events are being "limited" (as opposed to targeted) to "elite" schools/students (08:25:11 PM) themayor: true (08:25:13 PM) themayor: is that all? (08:25:19 PM) DemonJester: Most would also like to know who the "we" is throughout your post. (08:25:42 PM) ke4qqq: themayor: it is all for me, others may have thoughts (08:25:53 PM) themayor: we is me and the other people at red hat, mainly, community architecture team and the new red hat academy folks (08:26:18 PM) DemonJester: clear enough, thank you. (08:26:20 PM) ke4qqq: who are the RH academy folks? (08:26:27 PM) inode0: I don't feel like repeating my response, I'll listen (08:27:15 PM) themayor: the head of the rh academy team is mark howson (08:27:27 PM) themayor: they are completely re-doing the program (08:27:53 PM) themayor: the details of which arent really relevant to this conversation except for the fact that they are trying to forge partnerships with schools as well (08:27:53 PM) inode0: that is good to hear (08:28:21 PM) lcafiero: "schools" are colleges, or high schools/middle schools as well? (08:28:28 PM) themayor: also part of that re-doing might be tangential to fedora stuff but its not clear yet (08:28:37 PM) themayor: colleges and elite high schools (08:28:43 PM) lcafiero: Ah. (08:28:52 PM) themayor: okay im gonna go ahead and address both your points (08:28:56 PM) themayor: first 1 (08:29:32 PM) themayor: the reason things are the way they are has no subversive or malicious or exclusionary pretext to it (08:30:15 PM) themayor: everything i am working on now is for better or worse meant to be a pilot and a yardstick to figure out the right way to involve these institutions (08:30:16 PM) ***quaid sighs at himself and is here (08:30:34 PM) themayor: both red hat and fedora have attempted things like this before and they have not worked (08:30:41 PM) themayor: granted on a smaller scalle (08:30:46 PM) themayor: and very unorganized (08:31:26 PM) themayor: the reason that i sort of have the reigns on this stuff is because someone needs to be held accountable, from both red hat and the community side of things, to see that the goals that are set out are accomplished (08:31:52 PM) themayor: those goals right now are put together a pilot program that we can at 6 months from inception measure success or failure (08:32:22 PM) themayor: help might be needed from people running ambassadors, simply because people have connections (08:33:07 PM) themayor: so lets say 6 months down the road we figure out some things and everything is going relatively well more or less, we can, and PLAN on begin involving ambassadors and the like (08:33:08 PM) lcafiero: (raising hand) (08:33:44 PM) themayor: the main point is, i was around from the beginning of ambassadors and we've learned from alot of the mistakes and i want to try and not repeat those (08:34:39 PM) themayor: just like ambassadors started with one person taking initiative and letting it grow, i think the education outreach should work the same way, and trying side step and to head off some of the growing pains down the road that we learned from ambassadors (08:34:42 PM) themayor: lcafiero: yes (08:35:55 PM) lcafiero: I'd like to ask a question once themayor is finished. (08:36:00 PM) ke4qqq: themayor: I don't think there is any objection to you leading the effort - I think the concern is that others aren't allowed to contribute to the pilot. (08:36:46 PM) themayor: ke4qqq: others can contribute so long as we stay within the goals (08:37:27 PM) themayor: it will be mighty hard to have 100 people chasing down 100 schools and trying to get things to work each by his own accord and have someone be accountable for all that at once (08:37:45 PM) ke4qqq: ok, perhaps the question is better phrased not that they aren't able to - but how do they contribute and help you? (08:38:32 PM) themayor: okay (08:38:43 PM) lcafiero: Coordination is good, and as I outlined on the list, we already have 1 (Curriculum) and 2 (Campus Reps) in place. (08:38:55 PM) quaid: themayor: could it be as simple as you keeping an active update and wiki page going? (08:39:00 PM) lcafiero: At the college at which I attend. (08:39:10 PM) quaid: that way people are watching out and heling with information and offers to step in for this and that. (08:39:25 PM) quaid: "Oh, you are talking with Exwhyzed U, I know the CTO there." that kind fo thing (08:39:55 PM) themayor: so once we get started with all this, once we have targeted objectives, and the complete list of institutions, we will no doubt have a task list that i will need help with (08:40:00 PM) themayor: and yes, there will be a wiki page (08:40:05 PM) lcafiero: +1 (08:40:06 PM) quaid: ... and you make it clear there, "Please don't go representing this effort without coordinating with Jack first, middle, and last."

(08:40:47 PM) inode0: yeah (08:40:48 PM) ke4qqq: that's the other thing - I am hitting some colleges - one I am coordinating with quaid quite a bit on - how do I ensure I am not stepping on toes in my efforts? (08:41:15 PM) quaid: 'zactly! (08:41:24 PM) inode0: we just represent Fedora?! (08:41:33 PM) DemonJester: +1 (08:41:43 PM) themayor: for example, right now, if someone would want to get together with me later in the week or next week to start putting this stuff on the wiki, that would be appreciated (08:42:05 PM) quaid: inode0: if you are referring to what I said with represent, by "this effort" I mean the SIG (for lack of a better word) that Jack is leading. (08:42:15 PM) ke4qqq: right - but I am pitching that the class adopt some fedora documentation - they did OO.o docs last semester - thats a bit more than showing off Fedora (08:42:16 PM) themayor: ke4qqq: i dont know what your efforts are, so i cant say (08:42:38 PM) quaid: ke4qqq: good point ... we haven't told anyone else about that either :D (08:42:47 PM) ***ke4qqq is just as guilty (08:43:04 PM) quaid: I think there is obviously a lot of effort going on that is *not* at cross purposes (08:43:10 PM) quaid: and we just want to put it all on a page somewhere (08:43:14 PM) quaid: so it doesn't start crossing :) (08:43:45 PM) themayor: yes, i agree, our problem is just some fundamental miscommunication (08:43:46 PM) quaid: themayor: drop by #fedora-docs anytime and one of us will be glad to help; there are right ways and wrong ways to do wiki pages, would love to help get yours over that hump. (08:43:55 PM) ke4qqq: ok - themayor - I'll volunteer to help you with getting wikipage up (08:44:14 PM) ke4qqq: and I'll try and forward you the emails I have exchanged with quaid to get you up to speed. (08:44:23 PM) themayor: quaid: sure, ill make some time later this week on friday perhaps, tomorrow is pretty busy and thursday is a few meetings (08:45:35 PM) ke4qqq: ok any else have questions for themayor? (08:45:39 PM) themayor: ke4qqq: nod, thanks (08:45:50 PM) themayor: also, i just want to quickly re-address point #2 (08:45:54 PM) ke4qqq: sure (08:45:54 PM) lcafiero: Yes: On 3. Red Hat High (08:45:57 PM) ke4qqq: sorry (08:46:02 PM) lcafiero: (yielding to themayor ) (08:46:35 PM) themayor: okay so as far as what it seems, being exclusionary with regards to elite high schools (08:46:46 PM) themayor: again, its not exclusionary, we want to try it out with them, and then move on (08:47:03 PM) themayor: if you have some pretty brightly shining examples it will be easier for others to latch on (08:47:44 PM) themayor: i understand that people right now might have connections (08:47:57 PM) themayor: and i plan on taking full advantage of that in the months to come (08:48:21 PM) inode0: quaid: I am happy to work with Red Hat on its programs whether they intersect with Fedora or not. I still honestly see this as a Red Hat program and don't think we should stop interacting with academia waiting for it to unfold. (08:48:23 PM) themayor: but for right now, we just need to tip-toe carefully, lay a solid foundation and go up from there (08:48:24 PM) lcafiero: So you want to try it out with elite HS with the possibility/probability of expanding it (08:48:36 PM) ***lcafiero has connections with non-elite schools (08:48:40 PM) themayor: yes, the goal is to expand it (08:48:48 PM) lcafiero: thanks (08:48:53 PM) themayor: also the elite high schools work well right now because they buy us some awesome press (08:48:55 PM) ke4qqq: so the goal is to say $eliteschool doesn't why aren't you? (08:49:33 PM) themayor: well something like that, i mean we dont want to rub it in peoples face and make it seem condescending, but yeah, people are influenced by perception (08:49:51 PM) themayor: if it goes well and its in the press, rest assured other teachers will read it and say hey, i want in (08:50:15 PM) ke4qqq: interessant. (08:50:22 PM) themayor: and with education, the one lesson ive learned above all else, you need to play a little hard to get, unfortunately (08:50:33 PM) themayor: because teachers dont like being told what and how to teach (08:50:50 PM) themayor: so we need them to want to come to us (08:51:01 PM) themayor: and rightfully so, we dont want to tell them what or how to teach (08:51:32 PM) themayor: we just want to make the point that unless you are giving your students exposure to as much technology as possible, you are cheating them and giving them a sub-par education (08:51:52 PM) quaid: open source technology :D (08:52:02 PM) ke4qqq: ahhh that type of 'strategy' was what I was missing (08:52:20 PM) themayor: if you go to a school to try and sell them, you will 100% get spit on (08:52:28 PM) themayor: i know, ive been talking to them for a couple months npow (08:52:33 PM) ke4qqq: didn't realize the method to the 'madness'.......makes more sense now. (08:52:34 PM) inode0: that fits into the thinking of vocation education better than it does higher education in my experience (08:52:46 PM) ke4qqq: so how do you convince $eliteschool to start with you? (08:53:12 PM) themayor: well so what I've personally been doing is working on securing partnerships with hardware vendors (08:53:34 PM) ricky: Students are a more effective resources than most people might think. (08:53:35 PM) themayor: and telling these schools, listen money is tight, we understand, we are working with $vendor and might be able to secure you guys free hardware for a couple years (08:53:59 PM) themayor: that works for some universities too but not all (08:54:33 PM) themayor: on the university front, we will need campus ambassadors to be self-starters and identify the proper way to go about approaching each school (08:54:34 PM) ricky: Because that's what it comes down to at the end.. (08:54:43 PM) themayor: ricky: yup, exactly (08:54:52 PM) lcafiero: +1 (08:55:03 PM) ricky: What I said applies to high schools as much as it does colleges (08:55:35 PM) ricky: Also, students have access to parents, which is nice ;-) (08:55:38 PM) themayor: ricky: to a certain extent yes, but you are the exception not the rule (08:56:06 PM) inode0: there are more exceptions out there if we find them (08:56:07 PM) ricky: In elite high schools, there are some surprisingly amazing students. (08:56:18 PM) themayor: yes, thats why we are starting with elite high schools (08:56:28 PM) inode0: in non-elite high schools there are too (08:56:33 PM) themayor: inode0: well thats why we are trying a pilot to try and find them (08:56:59 PM) ricky: My generic example is TJ. The students there run the school's infrastructure. They should have the leadership and influence to help push stuff like this. (08:57:10 PM) inode0: themayor: serious question (08:57:14 PM) themayor: okay go (08:57:29 PM) themayor: ricky: one of the prime schools im working with is going to be TJ (08:57:33 PM) themayor: already spoke to them a few times (08:57:40 PM) themayor: and its great paul is right down the block from them (08:57:45 PM) ricky: That's wonderful to hera. (08:57:46 PM) ricky: **hear (08:57:56 PM) ***ricky admits being sooooo jealous of them. (08:57:56 PM) inode0: if I go to my local high school and engage students some of whom might join Fedora how can that interfere in any way with what you are doing? (08:58:03 PM) themayor: it doesnt (08:58:11 PM) themayor: not at all (08:58:13 PM) ricky: I may also have connections with previous TJ students at CMU. (08:58:36 PM) inode0: follow-up (08:58:58 PM) themayor: go (08:59:04 PM) inode0: if the NA ambassadors or all ambassadors embark in a concerted way to do the same? (08:59:25 PM) themayor: okay, so one or two people doesnt hurt (08:59:31 PM) themayor: but en masse, we are just promoting chaos (09:00:03 PM) ke4qqq: one or two people must mean miniscule chaos still (09:00:16 PM) themayor: controlled chaos is fine (09:00:23 PM) ke4qqq: but at the same time if I recruit 3 ianwellers, that's not bad - (09:00:25 PM) themayor: there will always be some element of the unknown (09:00:28 PM) inode0: how does promoting Fedora and recruiting new contributors equate to chaos? (09:00:33 PM) themayor: it doesnt (09:00:40 PM) themayor: inode0: we are talking at two different levels (09:00:46 PM) themayor: im talking about the institutional level (09:00:53 PM) themayor: and you are talking at the populace level (09:01:00 PM) themayor: which in fact, the two complement each other (09:01:15 PM) inode0: the institution being Fedora or an educational institution? (09:01:16 PM) themayor: im working top down and you are taking the bottom up approach (09:01:21 PM) themayor: educational (09:01:45 PM) themayor: im not against going out and talking to students at all (09:01:52 PM) themayor: i wouldnt stop anyone from doing that (09:01:55 PM) inode0: so I'm not following why a concerted effort by ambassadors would be a problem (09:02:31 PM) ricky: A concerted effort with the goal of getting students to contribute to Fedora probably wouldn't be, if I'm understanding what he's saying (09:02:40 PM) themayor: correct (09:02:46 PM) ricky: A concerted effort to talk to school administration to set stuff up might be (09:02:48 PM) themayor: raising awareness is never off limits (09:02:51 PM) themayor: thats what ambassadors do (09:02:53 PM) inode0: well he did just say it would be chaos :) (09:03:23 PM) themayor: i didnt mean it in that way exactly (09:03:30 PM) inode0: ok (09:04:09 PM) themayor: inode0: i guess to put it simply, i think that we are trying to achieve 100% all at once, and i think we need to take a more tempered and measured approach (09:04:23 PM) ke4qqq: we are at 63 minutes -anyone else with something for themayor or themayor for us? (09:04:59 PM) themayor: i dont have anything to add, but will put up some actions items that i'll be responsible for (09:05:11 PM) themayor: so the main thing being putting all this stuff up on wiki (09:05:36 PM) themayor: and clearly making the task list visible so that where there is room for volunteers people can help (09:05:48 PM) ke4qqq: outstanding, thanks for coming themayor (09:05:53 PM) ricky: Would it be a bad idea to put a list of institutions up as well? (09:06:02 PM) themayor: no thats included obviously (09:06:03 PM) ke4qqq: do they know they are bieng targeted? (09:06:08 PM) ricky: OK (09:06:12 PM) themayor: the ones that are i will put up (09:06:43 PM) ke4qqq: cool - lcafiero ready to push on with media? (09:07:00 PM) themayor: i need to leave in like 15 minutes (09:09:09 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: proceed (09:09:24 PM) lcafiero: If I may, I'd like to discuss item 5 (09:09:39 PM) ke4qqq: go ahead (09:10:07 PM) lcafiero: Thanks. I'm putting together a wiki about how to deal with the news media at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Draft/NewsMedia_HowTo (09:10:23 PM) lcafiero: (note to quaid -- is that the right format for a draft?) (09:10:49 PM) lcafiero: As it is a draft, I just have an outline there now, but I will be filling it in and expect to have it done in the next two weeks. (09:11:02 PM) lcafiero: As a matter of background, I've been in journalism for the last 31 years. (09:11:16 PM) lcafiero: (not terribly proud of the profession lately, but that's another matter) (09:11:41 PM) lcafiero: And the wiki will be a resource for ambassadors to use to capitalize on media coverage for events around Fedora (09:11:50 PM) lcafiero: in their own areas. (09:12:12 PM) lcafiero: I hope to finish a first draft by next meeting. (09:12:36 PM) ke4qqq: sooooo - lcafiero is in the industry - so he is a a defacto subject matter expert.... (09:12:53 PM) lcafiero: question to ke4qqq -- where do you get the draft box on wikis to signify it's a draft (like on the expectations page) (09:13:14 PM) ke4qqq: I'll show you the code after the meeting (09:13:21 PM) lcafiero: Okay. (09:13:29 PM) inode0: this is really excellent (09:13:37 PM) ke4qqq: yeah it's very good (09:13:50 PM) ke4qqq: I am hoping lcafiero fleshes it out quite a bit (09:14:05 PM) lcafiero: Has anyone had any dealings with the media yet and would like to reflect them in the wiki, I'd like to discuss it (09:14:13 PM) inode0: might be of great interest to marketing too (09:14:16 PM) lcafiero: It will be expanded from the current outline (09:14:28 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: yep (09:14:44 PM) inode0: I suspect most of just don't have a clue about dealing with media so don't (09:14:44 PM) lcafiero: That's about all from me, unless anyone has questions. (09:14:53 PM) inode0: most of us (09:14:57 PM) themayor: i have experience with media (09:15:03 PM) lcafiero: Well, a lot of the "how to" books are pretty laughable when we in the profession read them. (09:15:24 PM) themayor: and i believe the general stance is we should get stuff cleared with someone before we do anything with media (09:15:36 PM) themayor: with certain exceptions (09:16:02 PM) lcafiero: What this wiki deals with is how to write press releases, when and when not to contact editors, etc. (09:16:07 PM) ke4qqq: thats been the exact opposite of what we have talked about with gdk and spevack (09:16:09 PM) lcafiero: Nuts and bolts stuff (09:16:21 PM) ke4qqq: they've been all for us charging forward (09:16:27 PM) ke4qqq: is there a policy somewhere on this (09:17:13 PM) ke4qqq: ? (09:17:27 PM) lcafiero: What to do and not to do on radio and television (09:17:34 PM) inode0: and who is the clearinghouse? (09:17:38 PM) lcafiero: question ke4qqq (09:17:42 PM) ke4qqq: yes (09:17:47 PM) lcafiero: okay, shoot (09:18:06 PM) ***inode0 thinks he already asked it (09:18:15 PM) ke4qqq: before we go stirring the hornets nest is there a policy on this: quaid? themayor? (09:18:52 PM) themayor: i dont know, thats been my personal policy (09:18:57 PM) inode0: what lcafiero is doing is fine - we need this information regardless (09:19:03 PM) ke4qqq: I agree - (09:19:10 PM) ke4qqq: but if there is a policy we wnat to reference it (09:19:24 PM) lcafiero: If I may: My understanding is that this is for events, e.g. F10 parties, where we might want to invite the press in local areas where parties/installfests are happening (09:20:10 PM) lcafiero: I do need to know if there's a policy around the release of that information, as far as Fedora is concerned. (09:20:12 PM) ke4qqq: well it's certainly for that, but possibly more (09:20:23 PM) themayor: i think thats okay (09:20:37 PM) lcafiero: However, to use Cabrillo College as an example, we would go ahead and make a release about it anyway from the LUG. (09:20:42 PM) themayor: but how about this, i will ask paul when he gets back online from utah and send something to f-a-l (09:21:00 PM) lcafiero: But I would hope that Fedora ambassadors who are putting in the effort could do the same (09:21:12 PM) lcafiero: +1 to themayor (09:21:14 PM) ***quaid caught up on the last 20 minutes (09:21:20 PM) inode0: sure, these details can be sorted out in time (09:21:27 PM) ke4qqq: yeah doesn't make sense that I can speak to a crowd of 500 but can't send out a press release to a local paper (09:21:56 PM) quaid: hmm (09:22:06 PM) quaid: why not let's set up a policy? (09:22:12 PM) lcafiero: And I hope themayor contributes to the wiki drawing from his experience. (09:22:16 PM) quaid: put together some ideas and float it to f-advisory-board? (09:22:20 PM) inode0: do we want a policy first? :) (09:22:27 PM) ke4qqq: works for me (09:22:31 PM) themayor: for sure (09:22:31 PM) lcafiero: +1 (09:22:35 PM) themayor: hey guys i need to run (09:22:41 PM) ke4qqq: thanks for coming Jack (09:22:42 PM) themayor: thanks for everything (09:22:43 PM) lcafiero: I can continue with the draft wiki (09:22:46 PM) lcafiero: thanks themayor (09:22:54 PM) ke4qqq: yes - don't stop the work on the draft (09:22:55 PM) quaid: to be clear, @redhat.com folks are sometimes restricted because of the crossover to material matters (things that talk about RHT products that might affect stock price, etc.) (09:23:08 PM) quaid: so we are extra careful when doing the press thing, and have a process for approving people to talk to the press. (09:23:09 PM) lcafiero: Understood (09:23:11 PM) ke4qqq: understandable (09:23:16 PM) quaid: obviously @fedoraproject.org is different (09:23:25 PM) quaid: also, traditional press folks sometimes get bent out of shape (09:23:27 PM) lcafiero: Again, this is just geared toward local events by ambassadors (09:23:39 PM) inode0: I just don't want to inject unnecessary policies - if there is a real need fine (09:23:41 PM) lcafiero: and I'd like to have some guidelines up before F10 (09:23:41 PM) quaid: when we release a community press release and they haven't heard about it from Red Hat (09:23:50 PM) quaid: so on big things we like to coordinate, and the fact (09:23:56 PM) quaid: that we do it all openly on lists and the wiki (09:24:03 PM) ke4qqq: "big things" will need to be defined. (09:24:12 PM) quaid: misses the traditional press, who are 'surprised' with the press release. (09:24:17 PM) ke4qqq: I'll start the discussion on the F-a-l and f-m-l (09:24:21 PM) quaid: ke4qqq: hence, the policy :) (09:24:22 PM) inode0: let's just ask for guidance (09:24:35 PM) lcafiero: agreed (09:24:39 PM) ***DemonJester agrees (09:24:42 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: would prefer we dictate what policy we want pushed upon us (09:24:49 PM) ke4qqq: :) (09:24:56 PM) inode0: so would I *if* we need a policy (09:24:59 PM) lcafiero: We should certainly suggest what we think policy should be (09:25:03 PM) quaid: ke4qqq: +1 on we define the policy :) (09:25:24 PM) inode0: my earlier impression was we drive the train (09:25:25 PM) quaid: inode0: here's the thing ... (09:25:35 PM) quaid: inode0: if someone is speaking as an individual, one is under no policy (09:25:38 PM) ke4qqq: so you say we drive the care with no traffic laws til someone complains? (09:25:49 PM) ***ke4qqq is afriad it would be draconian (09:25:54 PM) ke4qqq: when the boom is lowered (09:25:58 PM) quaid: inode0: but if one is speaking as @fedoraproject.org, don't you think we want them to have some idea of what they want to say and how to say it? (09:25:59 PM) ke4qqq: at least if a policy "exists" (09:26:12 PM) ke4qqq: they can't complain (09:26:33 PM) inode0: if I can personally represent Fedora in activities with say a local charity (which I was clearly told I could) I can't imagine any reason I can't publicize that too without signoff (09:26:55 PM) quaid: inode0: that doesn't preclude a policy (09:27:13 PM) inode0: maybe that *is* the policy (09:27:19 PM) ke4qqq: maybe (09:27:21 PM) quaid: the policy says, perhaps, "You do the right thing and publicize you see fit; represent the project well; on Big Things , coordinate with Marketing." (09:27:42 PM) ***ke4qqq plans on plagiarizing quaid (09:28:06 PM) ***quaid notes his IRC chat in this meeting is a Fedora contribution and already under the CLA (09:28:47 PM) lcafiero: Not to add fuel to this fire, but it works two ways -- Ambassadors could publicize "big things" handed down from Fedora to their local press, providing they point the press to the higher-ups. (09:28:50 PM) ke4qqq: doesn't mean I can claim it (09:28:53 PM) ke4qqq: as my own (09:28:54 PM) ke4qqq: lol (09:28:58 PM) lcafiero: Heh (09:29:23 PM) lcafiero: quaid: better put a creative commons license on that (09:30:04 PM) quaid: it's all under the OPL (09:30:10 PM) quaid: or at least will be when the IRC log is posted on the wiki. (09:30:21 PM) quaid: "A life unlogged is not a life worth living." (09:30:38 PM) DemonJester: lol (09:30:40 PM) ke4qqq: lol (09:30:41 PM) lcafiero: LOL. I will continue with wiki and we'll set a policy (09:30:50 PM) ke4qqq: anything else from media at this meeting? (09:30:59 PM) lcafiero: Not from me. Thanks, all (09:31:21 PM) ke4qqq: anyone have anything else? (09:31:38 PM) quaid: not I (09:31:41 PM) ***inode0 has a slightly unsatisfied feeling (09:31:53 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: speak your mine (09:31:54 PM) ke4qqq: mind (09:32:10 PM) lcafiero: Oh, wait: I'll be agendizing a project I'm involved in with the California universities, forming a coalition of LUGs. (09:32:16 PM) lcafiero: But that's for next week. (09:32:31 PM) lcafiero: go ahead inode0 (09:33:03 PM) inode0: yeah, I'm sure we'll revisit this education and perhaps should wait (09:33:30 PM) ke4qqq: ok - besides jack has left - and he should be present if we have something to air IMO (09:33:47 PM) ke4qqq: alright - if no one has anything else we'll close in 30seconds (09:33:48 PM) inode0: yes, I suppose (09:33:50 PM) lcafiero: How about on mailing list? (09:34:01 PM) ***lcafiero decides to shut up now (09:34:02 PM) ke4qqq: 20 (09:34:06 PM) inode0: there was no response to my post there (09:34:12 PM) inode0: or was there? (09:34:17 PM) ***ke4qqq doesn't know (09:34:19 PM) DemonJester: i didnt see one (09:34:27 PM) crossbytes: lol (09:34:27 PM) lcafiero: I echoed it in my response to jack (09:34:46 PM) inode0: ok, let's leave it (09:34:48 PM) ke4qqq: and we're adjourned (09:34:52 PM) lcafiero: see you all (09:34:57 PM) ke4qqq: feel free to continue discussing (09:35:01 PM) inode0: EOF for me please ke4qqq (09:35:12 PM) inode0: anything after that doesn't get posted (09:35:21 PM) ke4qqq: sounds good (09:35:30 PM) lcafiero: (waiting) (09:35:31 PM) ***inode0 does it (09:35:33 PM) inode0: EOF From mahayalamkhan at gmail.com Wed Aug 27 05:49:38 2008 From: mahayalamkhan at gmail.com (mak) Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:49:38 +0600 Subject: [Ambassadors] APAC ambassadors meeting.

Ambassadors regularly speak to the public, since that's part of the natural responsibilities they willingly take on. In dealing with print and broadcast media, of course it's very helpful for Ambassadors to be thoroughly familiar with the Fedora marketing plan, our overview, and general tips on how to be an effective interview subject. The idea is not to tie Ambassadors down so that they need approval for local media contacts. Rather, it's to make them confident in answering tough questions like "Why should people care?" and "What makes Fedora different?" in constructive, positive ways. I think many Ambassadors do this very well already, but like anything else it's a skill one develops, and we can help each other develop that skill. The Fedora Marketing group is always available to assist. We should encourage collaboration and partnership between Ambassadors and Marketing overall to make our public contacts as meaningful, positive, and cohesive as possible. ` -- Paul W.

IIRC many moons ago joining the Marketing project was recommended on the Ambassadors join page. While I think there is probably more of disconnect between the two groups than previously existed there are still many people who are in both groups. But I should go back and talk about why we decided to plod down this path - last night after introing Larry's page - (around the 9:15 timestamp) Jack said: "the general stance is we should get stuff cleared with someone before we do anything with media" http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-August/msg00411.html Then we started looking for policy, and it seemed none existed, but might have been an unwritten rule. Then we didn't know who was supposed to clear stuff - do we get marketing's blessing, or FAmSCo or the Board or?? So maybe what we need is more guidance (that after the fact gets documented) than a policy - so let me pose a couple of use cases: 1. I am holding a Release Party and want to get some local media attention and desire to send a Press Release to $localmediaoutlet announcing that there is a Fedora Release Party occurring. Do I need any special authority or clearance? 2. I am asked to be interviewed about the Fedora Project by $mediaoutlet - Do I need any special authority or clearance? 3. What if it goes above local - suppose #2 is a $syndicatedbroadcastmediaoutlet or a $nationaloutlet - does that change things?, and if it does, at what point does it change? The pragmatist in me says that the fact that I am a member of the Fedora Project, have a fp.o email, and can go around talking about/representing Fedora to LUGs, conferences etc. makes any special authority or clearance meaningless. That said I could certainly understand that such actions might generate angst with traditional marketing types, specifically among RH's marketing group. Certainly getting to #3 there would almost of a necessity (one would hope) be some coordination with Marketing and others, but from a standpoint of getting things done - do we need to have a checklist that has a line saying "Get permission from $authentity" ?

He could be looking for help in installing Fedora for multiple systems for example which is why David Nalley talked about Cobbler. How is asking for a clarification disgusting to you?

The cost of shipping media is prohibitive compared to the cost of replicating it. This is well known and has been discussed in the list multiple times which is why I indicated that local people are better suited to help.

What looks odd here is that only a distro which will ship 1500 media copies for free will fit the bill. Certainly it appears there is a weak technical asesment of the requirement. Basic calculation from your emails makes me understand there are about 6-7 machines per site and Sinhala language is a critical requirement. There is no information on what kind of apps are being targeted for usage etc. I am not going to merely describe a prescription here without enough understanding, but I do want to say you can not just depend on Free Media shipping, admins on site and technical consultants will have to plan re-install & updates infrastructure as well. There are various social or technical techniques you can apply such as find other institutes that might have similar requirement, or also say an ISP who can mirror Fedora repos locally; such an might do it to retain this school group as a customer etc. What ever you do I hope you will set the expectations right that this school should choose Fedora for its community & technical merits but not for free media shipment. I think you might want to ask while Fedora community reaches out to them, what can they do in turn to reach out to Fedora ?

An extreme example? Possibly, but in my opinion it's not unreasonable to think that every ambassador is a potential local -- local -- media contact representing Fedora. So again, let me repeat that the idea and execution for the wiki stems from helping LOCAL ambassadors deal with LOCAL media. In my opinion, having Fedora ambassadors who can deal with local media and maintain a relationship with local media in the area only helps us going forward, and is the purpose behind my developing this resource for ambassadors. > The pragmatist in me says that the fact that I am a member of the > Fedora Project, have a fp.o email, and can go around talking > about/representing Fedora to LUGs, conferences etc. makes any special > authority or clearance meaningless. +1 -- If you can trust us to talk to LUGs and conferences, we should be entrusted with talking to local media on Fedora events that happen locally. Clearly, as David pointed out in an earlier e-mail (not copied here), if things are pushed "upstairs" to a regional or national level, coverage-wise, someone with more authority may need to be involved, and an ambassador could use either common sense or guidelines on when to kick a story back to someone with media authority. Normally, I vote for common sense, but I understand that guidelines may be in order for an organization this large, if for no other reason than to cut down on the "loose cannon" syndrome.

Yes, but what the ambassador is talking about is a uncomfortable true. The cost is prohibitive in some point of view. From the point of view of this council could be more expensive send individual cds, but let the ambassador take the cost of it, could be in some way, the reason why ubuntu gets more sucess than us on this tip. If we want software freedom for people, we must find the most effective way to spread fedora. Just and opinion. Sorry but this is not flame. I my humble opinion ( please take this message as a contribution, i dont like flame wars ), the burocratic administration of the project, take us to innefective results.

Systems are not necessarily connected to the number of media. It depends on the setup which is what I am trying to understand. Besides, Danishka was a colleague of mine until recently and I am sure we can discuss things if there is a misunderstanding here. > I my humble opinion ( please take this message as a contribution, i dont > like flame wars ), the burocratic administration of the project, take us > to innefective results.

The retail price of a 1 to 7 DVD copy controller (20x with 32-bit CPU) that supports Blue-Ray will be ~$150.

Digital Break is not an interim problem for undeveloped countries. Easy way to not reconized that sometimes the "competitor" is better than us., mature of a community is learn the best things from other projects too, and shipping cds is a big "interim" feature. Anyway, for an Enterprise than Red Hat that cost 15.000.000 in NYSE, could not be a problem became equal than shuttleworth to promote fedora in free ship CDs.... see the world with the same eyes all the time, dont put us forward to people, the main reason for Free Software. really sad about this opinions....really dissapointed indeed.... probably was a mistake return to the project....

This is a heads-up for a Fedora event happening in Athens. Athens Digital week [1] is a big technology event (party?) taking place in Athens from the 13th to the 19th of October 2008. It's a "multi-dimensional technology event with a innovation as its central axis, inviting the masses to live and express/play with technology. It'll be hosted in an excellent cultural venue in Athens, and various squares around Athens will be used to engage with the Athenians. It has the support of the municipality of Athens, the Ministry of Development, etc. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.athensdigitalweek.gr&sl=el&tl=en Here's a promotional video (fancy, maybe not too informative): http://www.vimeo.com/1218683 The Fedora Project Greece (fedoraproject.gr) was invited to participate at the conference by having a booth, posters, distributing media/flyers etc. The team is already working in printing 20+ polo shirts etc. I was also invited to chair a 2.5h-long session titled: "Open source: Morality, Freedom, Business". Speakers in my session include Dimitris Andreadis (Red Hat, Jboss AS project Leader) and maybe another popular face in Fedora. The session will probably attract a crowd of 200+ open-source guys (users/advocates as well as local contributors).

Wiki pages of the ambassadors Just to be straight. There are some really lousy wiki page from ambassadors on the wiki. Hey, this is your business card on the web. How should people contact you if there are no contact data? As an Ambassador you represent Fedora and only a small part of yourself. Think about what you think if you get a business card or look at one. I don't want to start talking about Ambassadors wiki pages which haven't be edited since May 2008 when the wiki migration was... If you are not familiar with the mediawiki syntax, you can use the following template [1]. Copy the source code of this page and use it at your own page. Don't forget to place the right category entry. Email address Your email address should be valid ;-). If you have not time to answer email messages which have a connection to your participation in the Fedora Project or the Ambassadors Project in specific, leave a note at your wiki page that you are busy/idle at the moment. For all people who wants to contact you would this ease the communication process. They don't waste their time to write you and ever get an answer. Account in the FAS There are a lot of 'inactive' accounts inside the Fedora Account System [2]. Please check your account and reactivate it if you are still interested to participate in the Fedora Project. We would like to see your first name and last name in the 'Full Name' field. If it's possible in Latin characters because most people can't read Cyrill, Chinese, or what ever. Thanks for your cooperation Kind regards, Fabian [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/HompepageTemplate [2] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ -- Fingerprint: 2F6C 930F D3C4 7E38 6AFA 4EB4 E23C D2DD 36A4 397F Fedora always leads and never follows.

Personally, if I can get contributors from business schools world wide to come up with a unique model to supply community media I will sure count that as big feature, that could even compete network optimized software delivery, and I'll be glad to see competitors adopt that human network break through as well. > Anyway, for an Enterprise than Red Hat that cost 15.000.000 in NYSE, could > not be a problem > became equal than shuttleworth to promote fedora in free ship CDs.... > see the world with the same eyes all the time, dont put us forward to > people, the main reason for Free Software. > really sad about this opinions....really dissapointed indeed.... > probably was a mistake return to the project.... I speak for me and community that I enjoy and I did not mention Red Hat or Shuttleworth. Anyways I owe you lot here, it strikes me that even Ubuntu community should be equally interested to work with Fedora's to come up with network optimized media delivery :-) I hope that will be kept in mind if community takes any further interest in such future features.

First of all: call roll FrancescoUgolini FabianAffolter JeffreyTadlock Max spevack First topic: Budget As you can see Max posted in the list all the details about hopefully not too much more to say FY Q3 i think we're all set for Q3 budget any questions or comments? spevack: only a question: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Budget fugolini: yep? i know it's too early, but for Q4, we have to find a way to better distribute money, I just made some charts i'm open to any new idea and I saw event are growing exponentially, that's good, but or we lower budget or we have to focus on certain events, and try to help with alternative way other ones fugolini: there were many events added after the August 1 deadline for funding, even with all my reminders. i feel bad for those people, but if we fund everything, then each event almost gets nothing in fact, this was a good way to filter, but there are still a lot of events and budget is not infinite but, meanwhile, I personally want to read q3 events report :) Any other questions? just one input: i think that it's possible to pass a part of the money from OpenExpo to Athens Digital Week. the accommodation for OpenExpo will not need much money great Personally I think we are in the right way with budget. eof 2. Release events, i know it was in the 1 with budget but it quite different I hope to organize a meeting with the release event owner and understand the local status, moreover, I will be out starting from september 10th (not sure about it) due to a ship training fabian_a: yeah, i will work with Dimitris to handle Athens spevack: ok I will send an email to Ambassadors list waiting for feedbacks. That's all Suggestions? ok 3. Localization I'm happy to say that the local groups activity is going on, I didn't read the last NA meeting, but i'll do it soon This is the most important space of the meeting To FAmSCo members and who want to join this discussion: any update? * spstarr_work has quit ("the assimilation is complete, this machine goes Fedora now...") spevack: about media production, is the actual system working? or better sorry We had a discussion in FAmSCo list about it. Can we handle media production budget for next Quarter (Q4) alongside event sponsorization fugolini: well fugolini: for media production, here is what we are currently trying: in North America, event owners are using an on-demand vendor, and they can spend part of their budget on media in EMEA, we have a really good producer at Red Hat Munich, and we can take a little bit from different event budgets to produce Media. just because a big part of the budget is spent for media production and except for medium event, the smallest one don't need a lot of money if we give them media everywhere else, people are basically on their own fugolini: yep, you are right NA is going to order in bulk. fugolini: i think it's working pretty well. people aren't complaining right now about not being able to get media, so that is a good sign and local people are handling the details. yes, it was only to assure some concern about it that I found in some local meetings but thanks a lot for the answer Any other question/update/etc? 3 2 1 4. Membership and more First of all membership there aren't relevant update about it. I want to personally thanks with fabian_a for his mails about m-l and irc it's important to update periodically the users, just because sometimes someone forget the basic of the rules joerg suggested, moreover, to work over a Membership rule etc. something from #fedora-ambassadors something that I find annoying is all the "welcome to the family" etc replys to new ambassador intros. Nice, but can be sent as private e-mail Yes, that's true, but it's quite complicated to ask people to make it, in the past we sent some advice but we can't stop those ones Now, I want to ask all of you for advice about membership management see Membership Administrators and newbie policy so that we will be able to write with the big help of Joerg a Ambassadors Membership policy draft attention: nothing of this is about law or other, just a set of simple rules and way to prevent abusage eof Questions? 3 2 1 Now another small point, all agree to set fedora-ambassadors as our IRC channel in the FAS ? for me is right, then if we will go back we will able to re-set this it is fine with me ok, so just do it :) ! For today we have finished, have you other suggestions? no, nothing from me. * spevack is tired, the budget work has taken a long time :) So, thank you for your attention == Meeting adjourned == -- Fingerprint: 2F6C 930F D3C4 7E38 6AFA 4EB4 E23C D2DD 36A4 397F Fedora always leads and never follows.

Oct. 2008, unfortunatly the budget is set for Q3/2008 - The Event looks promising but Malaga is not the cheapest Place :( Would you have time to cover this event? What do you think is the profit of this Event for Fedora, are there many potential Contributors? To cover a Event you need at last 2 People for a Booth - i can help you with material for the Booth, but you need one more Person and maybe little Money for accomodation and traveling. As far as i know Yakoov is traveling around Europe and maybe could help you at the Booth and with a talk. But i can not say if Max can give some Money? It seems now as we have you as a active spain Ambassador we can cover this event next year for sure.

As the day progressed, excitement grew. It was morning when the organisers called us up and asked if they could shift our talk to open stage. They were having space problem :) No, we said. we are no bollywood stars..are we? Around 10:30, we assembled. It was around 11:10 when we reached the college. Upon entering the room we found that there was around ~100 students, mostly from first and second year. Unfortunately, there was a power cut as soon as we entered the room and though they had backup and generators, they were unable to fix it. Time was running and audience was getting bored, so we decided to start without the microphone and projector. First was the talk by Indranil Das Gupta, upon enquiring the audience let us know, that they have heard of Linux in general, they have no detailed idea but now that they have an opportunity want to know specifically what Fedora and Linux was all about. And there was the HOD of the Computer Sc. who wanted to know more about Fedora as they were migrating a whole lab to Fedora. Interestingly, a few students honestly confessed that they were here because the tech fest was on and they had to come to it anyway. ;) In the middle of talk, power came back and everything was back to normal. After that there was my talk[1]. The audience was listening to it carefully, they asked a few questions, and after the talk a few came up to me and asked that they have already installed Fedora and they were having such and such problems. As I didn't have much time, I told them to follow it up with mail. The scenario there is not much encouraging, as people never heard of sourceforge and kernel et. al., but that give us a lot of opportunity to teach them new things. What I found, they have a LUG, had an install fest and then they had no idea how to proceed. So, I talked to them and asked them to make it a in a workshop format. Probably, I shall go back there soon. :) Next, Sayamindu from OLPC spoke, and demoed the sugar desktop, people was entertained. Unfortunately, time ran out and he had to cut his speech short. (He did a 2 hour presentation in ~20 minutes :D.) So that was all about the event. On our return leg, there was rain, so we had to walk a bit, cross a bamboo bridge with toll tax....("bamboo bridge with a toll tax") and went into the china town to have some nice...but that's a different story. :) Thanks.
