From empireofice at googlemail.com Sun Jun 1 09:23:26 2008 From: empireofice at googlemail.com (Marcel Berlau) Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2008 11:23:26 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Let me introdruce myself Message-ID: <20080601112326.6876f03f@ghost> y name is Marcel Berlau I'm 31 years old and I live in the vicinity of Cologne / Germany in Roesrath close to the airport Cologne / Bonn. For 10 years I was an airmen in the Luftwaffe and now I work since last August for an IT-Company in Cologne. I do system-integration. Since December I'm responsible for everything about Linux here in Cologne for my Company and on the other hand I'm one of five guys for all the stuff about Xen. Presently our customers use a lot of SLES environments but we think at the end of the year we are also able to present RHEL. I personally use Linux for about 8 years now in the private. Starting with SUSE Linux 8.0 I switched quick to Red Hat Linux 9.0 after I bought an Red Hat Magazine at the store and I was fascinated about things working in RH but not in SUSE out-of-the-box. So I stayed with RH but I was a little bit worried about the step to the community with Fedora. But since FC 3 I use Fedora as the main-system at home. Also I always try to look beside Fedora with virtual machines of Debian,Ubuntu an other Linux flavors. So why I want to become an ambassador? Because I want to give the Fedora community something back. I'm not very good in programming and maintaining packages but I hope as an ambassador I can help to show people outside of the official and unofficial forums and mailing-list that Fedora is an very good state of the art Linux, easy to use free and open-source and with a lot of ideas. My plan is to represent Fedora here in Cologne and around to various LUG's (Installing Parties for example) and if possible at different kind of activities.

Package Maintenance is one area of contribution and Fedora is a huge project with lot of contributors and lot of areas where people can still contribute . As an ambassador your contribution would be highly appreciated :) Welcome once again and Good luck with your activities !

I am living in Northern Italy, between Milan and lake of Como. I was an expert of Computer assisted design in chemical engineering, before the Personal Computer age, that started in my office with a carton box from the Big Blue in 1983!!! I entered the Linux world at the beginning of the 2000s only because in a computer magazine I found a CD with RedHat 6.0 and as I am curious I installed an OS different from Windows. Since then I never left Redhat and finally I switched to Fedora. In 2002 I introduced Linux in my office, Redhat at first and Fedora then. As I love the bleeding edge software, I am pleased to use Fedora, and I like also Rawhide (writing from a F10 now).... For your information, I learnt Linux the hard way, no help around, I could only trust on the various mailing list: then some friend of mine saw my machines working with Fedora and asked for help to install....now we are a very small bunch of people working with Fedora here around. As I got much from Fedora, I decided to join the Ambassador group to give back some help to the Fedora help: of course, as I am not a big expert of software I could only join a group where not many deep technical skill were requested. I am running a small local website related to linux and fedora only as a meeting point for people interested in Linux/Fedora in the neighboroughs.

The event box is an idea, heavily borrowed from the GNOME Project, that could make organizing a booth at an event much easier for an Ambassador. It would be a decent sized shipping container that contained the basic materials necessary to organize and run a Fedora booth at a small to mid-sized event. For larger events it would be starting point, but would probably need supplemented by additional materials. The items currently suggested for an event box are listed on the wiki page [1]. Shipping a box of this size is not cheap, so if successful there would likely be an event box assigned to a major region - based on the success of the first event box. Even though the cost of shipping is high, I think it will allow an ambassador to free up time to get other event preparation done without the need to track down basic materials for every event. It also helps make sure that a Fedora Booth at any event at least has the basics covered. It seems we repeat a lot of work for every event we do (at least it seems that way for events in North America). >From the marketing meeting we wanted to bring this discussion up again with the Ambassadors. Please visit the Event Box wiki page [1] and read up on it if you have not seen the proposal before. It covers more of the details than I have here. Once you have done that, please comment on whether you would find an event box useful in your event preparation. And also feel free to suggest changes to the contents of the box as well. Thanks!

It contains posters, ... and a display, keyboard, ... but not a PC. I would advice against including hardware in the Fedora event box. HW adds some heavy weight and everyone has a laptop or PC availiable, so I don?t think shipping a PC aroun is very usefull. After Cebit we shipped the KDE eventbox from Cebit (Hannover Germany) to Bern (Switzerland) which costs 220 Euros. Problem is, on the Hannover fair grounds, Fedex has an exclusive contract as shipping partner. So we had no choice but to use the very expensive Fedex service. If we ship the box five times a year, we have about 1000 Euros. For that amount of money we could simply equip all ambassadors with a collection of posters, ... and create a very small and leightweight event box (perhaps including an OLPC ...) cu romal Jeffrey Tadlock schrieb: > One of the topics that has come up in the weekly Fedora Marketing > meetings is the topic of the Event Box [1].

I holds a Bsc in International Finance and now administrating a small IT Infrastructure for an oil and gas company for a living. Started to delve deeper into Linux when I start working as an IT Administrator. As all proprietary solutions is too expensive to power our network at that time, it was time to look for alternatives. It started after I attended the CCNA course (yet to take the exam) and wanna start to play around with enterprise network software. As Cisco gears was too expensive, there's only one way to go. And after a simple introduction by a friend of mine regarding Linux network stack, there's no way back. Squid, Dansguardian and iptables really blows me away. I was using "the lesser distro that is famous" until version 7.04 for my desktop and starts to turn into Fedora after attending the RHCT course (also yet to take exam). What attracts me to Fedora is the bleeding edge nature and also a lot of enterprise toys bundled together. And I would like to thanked MohdIzharFirdaus and ShahrimanShamsudin (the other Fedora Malaysia ambassador) for helping a lot in my early incarnation of Fedora. There's a lot of things to learn for now as I still consider myself a beginner, but its been fun and joyride. I intend to contribute in the marketing and PR way by building the bridge between "corporate world and Fedora" and also "new and potential Linux user and Fedora". I already establish connection with our Red Hat Malaysia guys regarding this matter and my immediate task is to ensure fedora.my domain (owned by Red Hat) to be pointed to Fedora Malaysia site (http://fedora.foss.org.my).

Message-ID: <484414D1.8070506@kanarip.com> Hi there, I'd like to take a moment to express my thank you to the LinuxTag organization team. So; Thank you! Personally, I think the biggest highlights of the event where: - The organization It was great; no trouble checking in to the hotel, exhibitor passes were ready for us, no trouble in whatever area you learn to appreciate someone taking care of things for you, only when it's too late. The booth just looked great, we had plenty of stuff to show off, some of those awesome posters (thank you Joerg! -let me get back in touch with you on how I could get a few for my living room). A big thank you to the LinuxTag organization team for making this a wonderful event! - The bathrobes What an entrance we made at the LinuxNight social event, where approx. 300 of our peers where wondering where we got them, and why we wore them. Some of them may have called us crazy, but I bet most of them were wondering where they could get one themselves *bg* - The Live USB station After the great success of the Live USB station, Stefan and myself will attempt to enable any ambassador or enthusiast create such a station (where people stick in their USB thumb drive and hear a victory tune when making a Live USB stick is finished), as simple as "yum install". More on this topic the next couple of weeks. So, again, thank you all for attending, making it work and getting it to be the greatest event I've had so far!

Hence i request the ambassadors in the following locations to move their wiki pages to the new wiki style. The following are the locations for which the updates are done * Eastern Africa * Northern Africa * Southern Africa * Western Africa * Southern Asia The following is the link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/CountryList All that is required is to login to the new wiki using your FAS ID and click on the move icon on the top of your page and that moves your personal wiki page and that would also automatically ensure that the link in the new wiki is working. Also make sure that your names, locations, FASID has been updated properly as i am dealing with quite a big list :) . I would keep others updated once i finish off the work on other locations too.

And I always needed to respond that Ubuntu would be right around the corner, Novell in another hall and Fedora & Red Hat... were just not there. I have thought about this and I think we should definitely arrange something! Since I'm living just 30 km away, I would be obviously able to help and to organize it - unless it interferes with school :(... --Sebastian Robert M.

I would be careful of: * "vanilla" -- because we *do* sometimes carry patches, we just try to work them upstream, and if they don't get there we should drop them * "bleeding edge" -- because that makes it seem like people should expect very little to work well in a given Fedora release, whereas I think we all agree that's not the case -- maybe "leading edge" is better! > Do we have a list of this items ? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives might be good places to start? -- Paul W.

I joined the Ambassadors group because I enjoy telling the people around me about FOSS and Linux. Right now I dual boot Fedora and Ubuntu since I think those are the best distributions available, and thats why I am also trying to market them together to some extent. My target audience are schools. I believe FOSS and Linux should be used in education because schools normally don't have al the money they require and paying for licences is just wasting a lot of money that could go into buying equipment for a lab or some books or whatever. My plan is to go to schools and offer them the two best distros out there, and let them chose which ever one they want. This gives them options, which is what Linux is all about, chosing and using what is best for you.

Yeah Thats the new syntax and the URL gets changed. You don't have to change your URL, thats automatically done . All you have to do is move your wiki page and that is it. I am modifying the ambassador list to adopt to the new wiki syntax and media wiki automatically makes a redirect to the new URL.

The booth was by far the best on site. All visitors who had questions were quickly "processed". All Ambassadors, and they were many, enjoyed their job and this was great to see. I hope to be part of the next LinuxTag Event. After an event is before the next event. Which basically means - we should get to organizing the next LinuxTag soon - not a couple of weeks / months before the start. I would very much join in with the organization team and help out. Also we should discuss the way to present Fedora, especially in the Talks / Seminars / Workshops. I have one major fault I noticed, not only by Fedora but almost all others did this as well. All presentations were theoretical only. Use Streaming / Screencasts or even live practical shows in order to get more response and interest from the public. Also I believe we need to rethink the target of our presentations. I talked to a few visitors listening in on the presentations and almost all say that they would like to actually see and not only hear about features / projects. Only the KDE project group actually showed things in their presentations, not everything worked perfectly - but that is not the problem and was very well played over. :) As an experienced trainer I know people learn best by seeing and hearing. Powerpoint is nice but showing the real thing is better :) Hope to see / hear your comments. regards Christian Grams From eerpini at gmail.com Wed Jun 4 08:43:39 2008 From: eerpini at gmail.com (Satish Eerpini) Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 14:13:39 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fwd: Fedora party in INDIA In-Reply-To: <93655eb70806040130q66ee5ddci18e969d54c15edd@mail.gmail.com> References: <93655eb70806040130q66ee5ddci18e969d54c15edd@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <93655eb70806040143u2a16362bld644efa127a40973@mail.gmail.com> hello everyone !!

The one that comes immediately to my mind is the installing Fedora in the USB drive. Thats one thing that has caught the attention so i feel that could be included. A demo of the same could also be included and if people are interested you could kind of organize an install-fest . Apart from the normal desktop/notebook installs, the USB installs could make it more interesting. The second point is about how to contribute to Fedora i.e something on the contribution front could be spoken about. I am very sure there are not so many people who know what FAS is and when i ve talks locally too, people ask me on how to kick start the contribution. Since you say that the awareness is limited, this could/should take some attention as i feel there would be lot of people. KDE 4 in Fedora is one thing that has again caught attention coz, Fedora is the first distro to come out with KDE 4. Having said this, this topic would probably need some thought based on the audience. Local Contact Point could be the Lugs in your city and you could contact Shakthi Kannan (shakthimaan at gmail.com). He currently is in Hyderabad so you could probably ask him whether he is willing to speak on this and be part of the event. I ll update you as and when i get some ideas. Hope this helps Cheers, Balaji On 6/4/08, Satish Eerpini wrote: > Hi Balaji > well Nikhil has planned a lot for the party , but as u might already be > aware , the awareness is quite low here in andhra pradesh , ... so we would > love to have as much help as possible .

We are there for sleeping and breakfast, so there should be a bed and something to eat in the morning ;) . Beds are not that important ( at least for me ) but a good breakfast keeps you strong the whole day. peter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I will try to brief you how the event was and if we have been successful. First of all, the number of people who registered theirselves was really exciting. Without any doubt, it was the biggest number of people ever registered for our event. We had 173 persons who had sent us a completed form and we were really happy there was such huge interest in our event as for Polish conditions, and even if no everybody appeared, we had quite a huge attendance anyway. Although we started advertising it just about two weeks before the conference, I personally think we have been very successful in this aspect. Maybe that was even better than if we started it earlier, as that was still a hot topic and there was no time for that to be forgotten. As this is what I took care of, I hope to do the advertisement in the next year for much bigger scale and I hope we will reach the number of 200 or even more attendees :) The first presentation, about the Fedora Project in general, what it is, what are its goals etc. started at 9:15 in the morning. I have done it by myself, I am not sure how good it was but I think my second presentation on OLPC was much better. Next presentation was about One Laptop Per Child. And, as you know, Joerg Simon could not attend, I have done it by myself. I think that was the first speech on OLPC ever in Poland, and maybe my impression was that people were really interested in it. Except telling them on the project, I have also shown what they can do with it, and wanted people to come to the booth after I finish the speech so they could have a closer look, touch it and work for a while with OLPC. One lady did not allow me to accomplish my plan, as she asked me to give it to the people during my speech and I could not refuse... I let them have it for a while and asked to bring it to the booth after they are finished. Here we had a problem: I took the laptop with me (from Germany), but nobody remembered about the plug converter and the battery was already below 50%. I went to a local supermarket to buy the converter, but I completely forgot about voltage difference. I think the lady at shop was the one who reminded me that. And as I had still in my memory adventures of someone frying a device with the voltage difference, I have finally decided to buy a transformer (which already conained the plug converter as well). After getting back to the building the conference was held, I found out the charger for some unknown reason does not work. I had no idea why it refused cooperation. After several tries, we have finally managed to get it to work (the reason why it did not before still remains unknown - it could be a problem with the connections inside the transformer or something like that. That solved the power problem and I did not have to longer worry that people who come to the booth will have to look at disabled OLPC. Now something about other speeches. I couldn't see all presentations, as I was walking among the conference hall, booth, and the supermarket, so I will only let you know what they were about. Here you have the full agenda: 1. Introduction to Fedora. New Fedora 9 capabilities - Pawel Sadowski 2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - Jerzy Baranowski 3. OLPC - Pawel Sadowski 4. KDE4 - Kamil Grzebien 5. Intregrated Archival Information System - OS in state administration - Lukasz Glowacki, Jakub Lewandowski (only Lukasz Glowacki present) 6. Xen - paravirtualization, live migration - Patryk Malina 7. SELinux - Kamil Dudek 8. RPM - Karol Trzcionka 9. yum - Michal Bentkowski 10. Party at the main marketplace ;) That's all, excepts a dinner break somewhere in the middle and registration at the beginning ;) We have sold some Fedora T-shirts and stickers, and given away all the F9 live CDs I had taken with me, so while coming back home one of my suitcases was a little bit lighter ;) Oh, and maybe we have sold some Fedora posters I took from LinuxTag last year, but I was not doing everything by myself and I have to confirm this yet. After the conference had finished, we cleaned up the booth and gave away pizza we ordered and could not manage to eat everything by ourselves :D After that, we went with some conference attendees to the main marketplace in Cracow to have some dring and talk a bit on Open Source etc. To sum up, in my estimation, we can say the event was successfull and in the next few months we can start preparations for next edition :) You can see some photos here: http://mcgiwer.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/fedora-and-red-hat-open-day-2008-finished/. I'll let you know once I have some more photos. We have also recorded all presentations excepts my first. If someone is interested, please let me know (they're all in Polish).

I did guesstimate at shipping costs. From a somewhat central location shipping of an 85 pound box would cost between $63 and $90 for most continental US locations - not including additional insurance. This also does not include any possible discounts that someone's employer might let them piggyback on. I did take a quick look at the North American Events list. For the most part it looks pretty doable scheduling wise. There is one busy stretch in July where it might not be possible to make the box available for all events due to not being enough time between events. There is another time in October where some events are close together, but all in the Ohio, Pennsylvania, Toronto area that we could probably pull it off since the distance between events isn't quite as large.

Release Party Contest 2. Budget 3. Membership 4. Local Situation 5. Rules 1. Release Party Contest ! iWolf: I posted the email to the list summing up all the links to release party reports. i saw it. good stuff.. francesco and i talked a bit on list. we've had some comments it that thread. We are going to vote on the mailing list, so use this time now to discuss whoe the winner should be. and we can do a mailing list vote later this week as we come to a consensus. * iWolf will add to that thread as soon as he gets a chance eof * spevack has changed the topic to: FAMSCo meeting well, i gave my comments on list, so i'll save folks time and let them just read it there. rather than repeat myself here but i do want to say thank you again to iWolf for organizing me too spevack: yeah, I was sort ofsaving my comments for the list as well. spevack, fugolini thanks! it's been fun! so, what should we discuss here? and do we want to give ourselves a deadline for final decision on list? i'm waiting for comments from the other members a deadline would be good. spevack: i think friday 20.00UTC would be a reasonable deadline eof +1 fine with me +1 should work +1 ok Next topic: 2. Budget https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Budget max has done a great review of the following event spevack: have you something to say?= ah budget well, the page really should speak for itself here's what i am thinking in general i am glad that we have some buffer built into Q2 stuff always comes up, and we have money to support it also, i am always looking for ways to save money. there may be a *tiny* but of money left after fudcon which can be added to our general events pool so by the beginning of july, the picture for the rest o fjuly and august should be pretty clear I think we need to spend about $1000 on swag for the US in the other continents? one moment... *countries oh, sorry the money for US swag will come out of individual budgets. for example ottawa linux symposium wants swag and we have some money for OLS $500 so when we order swag, we'll use tha tmoney for it since there are no travel costs for OLS does that make sense to everyone? we're taking money already budgeted for several shows in the same region and pooling it together to make swag at a better price then distributing it +1 spevack: makes sense to me. cheaper to get the swag in bulk than smaller orders. I want to do this in Europe too, probably using the company that Gerold and Joerg have been using for stuff. we'll see. so what questions about budget do you guys hve for me? I'm happy because i feel like the budget on that wiki page was more or less what famsco suggested spevack: did quaid mention http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events/Lindependence_2008 to you? and i am just making sure it happens. so the power is in famsco's hands iWolf: i saw it on th eevents page do we want to vote to give it some budget? a vote would be good. I know it was added late, but hopefully there is some $$ left for it somewhere. hhave you a suggested request? fugolini: I have not heard an actual dollar figure being requested. ! AndreasR: quaid: ping first we should ask them if it is needed and how much is needed eof well, we'll see if quaid pops his head in and then we'll ask until then, what else on budget? are you all happy with the way we are managing our budget? ! you saw my summar to ambassadors about the events we did in Q1? AndreasR: go ahead are the requestors satisfied with it... :) I am fine.. cause we have some left eof AndreasR: i haven't heard any complaints hello guys.. sorry, my laptop is crazy!! now.. i'm here again and Red Hat was very happy with the way we managed things. fugolini: what do you think, as famsco chair? are you happy with the way we do budget? I absolutely agree with this one I am happy, too :) I am also happy with how the budget has been done. seems to be working well. it's the easiest way and most productive way great, well if quaid shows up, we'll ask him what he needs for lindependence. and if not, i'll mail him. +1 EOF for me on budget -- if you guys ever have any comments or suggestions, please continue to give them ! RodrigoPadula: hi guys i'm very happy with the budget support i think we are making good things arround the world now, i'm improving the local community in LATAM probably we will have some news fedora events here in the nex 6 months I have to say, the images and such from LinuxTAG were incredibly impressive. I'm blown away by what you guys put together. and on the next year so, probably we will need more support to LATAM f13: thanks, dude. the core linux tag team is really amazing eof +1 f13: since you're here thx f13: mind if i rope you in for a moment? RodrigoPadula: invite everyone to add their event in the event list yes *everyone in LATAM today we have a meeting i will sugest it to all ambassadors it's the way! f13: as someone who is a consumer of events budget and ambassador stuff, but not necessarily involved in it day to day (as you spend your time making sure we actually have something to talk about!), how do you think we're doing? ok, let's move on. quaid and/or f13 can jump in at any point. but we have more agenda topics and we're already 30 mins in ok, any questions? not from my side * spevack sent quaid a mail about lindependence perfect! 3. Membership We had a discussion in the list ! ok, fabian_a spevack: sure. I'm here. fabian_a, fugolini: can we give f13 one or two mins? then get back to membership? sure * spevack yields to f13 np yes From what I can tell, you guys are doing a fabulous job making sure that the attended events have the good stuff to use. f13: feel free the planning is great, the material is great, and it seems to be getting put to good use. also I think it's being done in a very responsible way, in that you're not just dumping a ton of swag on somebody who's not prepared to make good use of it f13: that is definitely one of our operating principles... any suggestions for improvement? spevack: honestly I don't think I really have any at this time. f13: well, cool. if you do, you know whree to find me indeed f13: bathrobes for the US? :) disturbing :) f13: you know you want to see spot in a bathrobe. anyway..... well thanks for your time, jesse. back to the meeting then? what? :)) ok fabian_a: you can continue kital is helping with the ambassadors group spot: we're just having some fun :) * spevack listens to fabian_a ! We started with some tracking with the help of a gobby session Joerg sent the data to all who are interested But at the moment it's a pain because there was a break in the approval process after Thomas decided to quit During LinuxTag I approved many many new ambassadors. Today I got a message that there are 43 pending requests for the ambassadors mailing list. i personally approved three ambassadors, just after i received their personal email ! spevack: next time we should move things like membership services smoother because if there is a break it's much harder to continue eof RodrigoPadula: i would like to be responsible by LATAM ambassadors or be responsible by interview them i just want to make sure that we have enough people on the membership area of Ambassadors to get everything done, *and* more importantly, that the people doing it have enough time. if we need to recruit a volunteer to help us, we shouldn't be afraid to do that how can i see where are they from ? it is a good chance for someone to take a new leadership role. but if we have enough manpower, then i'm happy +1 ! i would like to guide all LATAM ambassadors eof i think everyone could accept everyone -1 I don't know if you read my proposal about but the requirement the ambasadors needs guidance! ! would be only: 1. Presentation letter 2. Bad action agains member but we need to discuss it in the gobby section with everyone, RodrigoPadula you are welcome in this way write an email to Joerg AndreasR: all requests goes to ambassadors-sponsors at fedoraproject.org. all of you should see who is requesting membership in the ambassadors group I agree with Max opinion.. it is important for them to grow up.. and it would be bad if the guardiance is up to one role in fact, as i've said we have to use the same we should give other ambassadors a way to do this eof rules than package group why not by region ? i think there are experienced persons that could afford this duty i'm responsible by the ambassadors on LATAM and others by NA, APAC, EUROPE the problem is that we have to guarantee a open process so, we can guide directly any new ambassador and not to risk that anyone could say we are closing our group RodrigoPadula: I don't think anyone thinks you aren't responsible. We just wasn the barrier to being an ambassador to be low and more of a global standard. yes RodrigoPadula: and there is nothing that keeps you from guiding a new ambassador. RodrigoPadula: you are one of the most responsible and accountable guys we have. RodrigoPadula: believe me, if we didn't believe in you, we wouldn't just hand you cash ;) +1 +1 in brazil we have a problem +1 +1 if the system is totaly open in two months we will have 1000 ambassadors but the number of realy ambassadors will be the same we dont need names on the site I think we have to use the existing system but ambassadors interested to be a REAL COLABORATOR nobody remembers we have a pending period for newbie ambassadors RodrigoPadula: Add your input to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService#Membership_Check collaboration happens in many, many ways though. We should be open to volunteers who are offering time they do have. ok RodrigoPadula: try to invite people in the first month iWolf: +1 if you see someone isn't "live" you could use the power established by our rules IMHO to be a volunteer, they dont need be a Ambassador, but, to be a Ambassador they need to be a real colaborator to me... Ambassador is a important title I think we could continue this discussion in the releated thread (Membership) fugolini: +1 and the person with this title, have to work check https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService#Membership_Check 7.

Now, we are creating a sponsor group eof maybe we could organize a meeting where we discuss about all those stuff and then we will write a proposal after FAmSCo will approve it fugolini: i think the mailing lists work better for this type of discussion. iWolf: just because Joerg isn't a FAmSCo member to have a open discussion with all the sponsors fugolini: we can CC him if we want, I have no problems with him being in on the conversation. * iWolf is biased towards mailing lists for lengthy discussion Only a technical question: it's possible to connect both the M-L request and FAS ones, because the approval process is so confusing but if someone has an answer please write it in the membership thread in the list eof Any other question? fugolini: i think it would be worth having a technical discussion with some of our infrastructure folks, probably at fudcon * spevack will take that action item great Just because i tried to fill the requests but it's really difficult to understand this Next topic: 4. Local Situation We just discussed bout some critical situations Have you other ones I read about LATAM meetings RodrigoPadula: requests? i think that if we can get NA and SA meetings straightened out, we'll be in good shape I think it's important to have a great leadership in LATAM, and i think Rodrigo is doing this jobe great! i am very glad that Rodrigo is taking charge in SA /SA/LATAM and greg and i have been talking about NA if I may be honest thanks iWolf: i've read the past meeting log, great half of me wants to ask iwolf to do it, but another half of me realizes that jeff is already doing a huge amount, and thinks that it is CRITICAL that we continue to cultivate new leaders and let the current leaders help show the way my mission in this year is spread fedora and create local groups in all south american contries spevack: +1 so iwolf, that's a compliment :) just wanted to make sure i expressed myself properly speak of the devil lol spevack: I agree, I am reluctant to commit to running each meeting, but I do have time to help get them organized and help a new leader get going with it. spevack: thanks again for the compliment. iWolf: ok, i'm glad we're on the same page there. ;) RodrigoPadula: si se va crear nuevos lideres en sur america, seria bueno comenzar en hablar espa?ol (que es el idioma que mas hablan en sur-america ) the language is a big problem to the LATAM In europe we have a lot of ideoms hpachas-PE: si Hernan, yo estoy organizando las reuniones para resolver esto! but we recognized enlgish as the default one efo Ok, can we move on? * iWolf needs to go to a T-Ball game fugolini: here all neighbors only talk spanish and portugues ;-) eof Rules Just to point you in the wiki page fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Rules or something similar sorry if we are late ops shall we make Rules topic #1 next week? so we don't run out of time. ok don't want to make iWolf late it's better for me, too Thank you to attend the meeting sounds good to me! fugolini: Thank you for leading this meeting.

I have to fulfill a annual Swiss civic duty. Because of this I'm looking for a person who is willing to lead the meeting. If you want to be the chair for this meeting add your name to the meeting page [1]. Your job will basically only be to lead the ambassadors through the meeting. But also remind them to follow the protocol [2], work through the agenda, save the log, and wish everybody a nice morning/evening or a good night when the meeting is over ;-) . About the summary we can discuss after the meeting but keep the log and post it on the Ambassadors Mailing list. If nobody steps up we have to cancel this meeting.

Sorry if it cause some loss of time. =/ Hello everyone, please let me tell you my history with Fedora and The Free software world. I'm Guilherme Gon?alves from Rio de Janeiro *(Brazil) but the community prefer call me "Razgriz"*(i really don't know why but perhaps...my ex-wife can explain this thing one day if...). My first contact with tux was in 1996 and i am a "pure"*(100% free software user) user since 1997. But my contributions inside the world of free software started only in the earlies of 2005 writing documentation about computer graphics with free software at "vol"*(www.vivaolinux.com.br), some months after my first doc, Davidson Paulo(the creator of the old project "Guia Bozolinux" and now a Ambassador) invited me to write a book about the "Gnu Image Manipulation Program*(Gimp), it was a huge and very ambitious project but in the end with hard work yeah we did it! =] then since that great moment my life was turned into a goal : the community must respect the computer graphics made with free software but first the community must know more about it ! Then i will continue doing documentation to teach all thing that i know and what i will learn about it in the future. Well, my history with Fedora starts in 2007, when i met Rodrigo Padula and Cristiano Furtado*(jasoonfedora) and he convinced me to get fedora and try it during the event, after some time inside the same event he invited me to join the ambassadors team, but thanks to problems with time we lost contact. A couple of months later he invited me to joying the artwork team of the project "Revista Fedora Brazil" and now i feel that i can help more making my work in the magazine padronizing the layout, creating new visual stuff for the project and helping with other tasks and taking fedora to my classes in the Linux events that my default mini-course "The Gimp for creative minds" and other actions where invited. Well, here i am to help everyone and contribute with everything that i can, i will do my best to the project as you all make every time. just one last ask, if someone wanna know more about computergraphics, please just send me an email and i will help you, and if you know portuguese and think that stuff is usefull please translate this to other language =]. please use or read : http://www.projetofedora.org/Revista (since second edition) http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/perfil/verPerfil.php?login=razgriz (my documents inside that web portal) http://unilivre.sourceforge.net/Ba%C3%BA_proibido_do_Razgriz http://www.ogimp.com.br/ (vide gimp zine) http://unilivre.sourceforge.net/O_GIMP_para_Mentes_Criativas (my first book about computer graphics) http://razgrizbox.wordpress.com/ (personal documentation blog) http://www.gnu-lia.org/(another project that i contribute) Thanks to everyone again and i so sorry by some language errors (long time wihout write in english but i will fix it very very soon) Regards RazGriz. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

International shipping would be much more expensive. And if we include HW, we get into troubles with power cords, 110/230V, taxes and tool, ... I would recommand a light-box with some rare or very expensive items like an OLPC. Other items should simply be produced and shipped to all event-guys. Printing posters, stickers, ... is so cheap, shipping simply is to expensive. If someone has some templates (posters, flyer, sticker, ...) to print, I ask my friend (he`s working in a printing factory specialized on marketing stuff) for a good price to produce this stuff. I can then ship the materials to the people. I can also buy a box to create a light event-box for Germany. What should be included ? cu romal www.romal.de blog.romal.de Jason Fenner schrieb: > I think that it's a good idea.

I want to encourage everyone: that's the first step; i'm sure that, with the big efforts made by Rodrigo and all the LATAM ambassadors, the presence in the virtual (monthly meetings) and in the real world will grow esponentially.

Anyway what i said is that we need more ambassadors in Latinamerica. Right now in Colombia i only know of the existence of just two more ambassadors. Another thing is that apart from being a small group we are not united and we need to keep together in order to achieve something (i have only contacted one of the other ambassadors here in Colombia, dont know who's the other one). Unfortunately, Latinoamerica always seems to be a not-so-well organized place, and in this case it also seem like that's true. So we have to change that (i hope other Colombian and Latinamerican ambassadors read this). Im looking forward to work on making great changes in this. -- Juan Camilo Prada From aacosta at fedoraproject.org Thu Jun 5 22:58:25 2008 From: aacosta at fedoraproject.org (Alejandro Acosta) Date: Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:58:25 -0600 Subject: [Ambassadors] Self-Introduction of Itocamargo In-Reply-To: References: <640d350b0806051035xbd76bb7ud237becdd058a2eb@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1212706705.3275.0.camel@stacy.localdomain> Welcome Francesco :) On Thu, 2008-06-05 at 21:52 +0200, Francesco Ugolini wrote: > Welcome on board :) > > Francesco Ugolini > > 2008/6/5 Ailson Camargo de Sousa - ITO : > > Hello, Friends Ambassadors Fedora, I am new here, and I am doing my > > self-introduction as is customary. > > > > Well, I am a student of Engineering Control and Automation - Mechatronics at > > the University of Contestado, Curitibanos / SC / Brazil. > > > > I worked several years as a computer technician, and currently am a > > professional self.

Well, I am a student of Computers Networks at the Senai Technical School of Jaragu? do Sul / SC / Brazil. I am many years computer technician, designer and programmer too. I used Fedora on my personal computer and to work with my projects of design. I started to work with Open Source by curiosity itself and I used several distributions as Kurumin (Brazilian), Ubuntu, Debian, Kubuntu and now, I not change Fedora for everyone. I am able to help the Community to grow up with all of my skills. Thank you for the chance. Regards, -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I live in Kolkata, India. My Blog : BiGYaN's Random Thoughts Fedora Wiki : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki /User:Bigyan Currently I am pursuing a Post Graduation degree at the University of Calcutta with Computer Science and Engineering. I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science in 2006. My love affair with computers began back in 1997 when I had my first course in BASIC programming language in my school. Got my first PC in 2001 with Windows 98. In 2002 I saw Linux for the first time at a friend's place. I was willing to try it out, but did not have the courage to install it myself. Finally I took the plunge with Red Hat 9 in Aug 2003. >From then I have been using Linux regularly for the past 5 years or so. I installed and used all the Fedora OSs right from Fedora Core 1 to Fedora 8. So I have become a Fedora help-out guy amongst my peer group who regularly come to me for all their Linux related problems. Personally I feel that the most important thing hindering the popularity of Fedora is the lack of awareness. Most people around me have wrong opinions about Fedora, like the unavailability of drivers, which is now a distant history. I am not the MS basher type, and I do agree that Windows has revolutionized the PC experience. But Fedora comes with its own very unique set of advantages which people should consider while choosing their OS. I think that this Ambassador program is a great opportunity for Linux lovers like us to do exactly that and spread the word around for Fedora. from, Bigyan -- Check out my Blog : http://naygib.blogspot.com/ Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I have deployed lot of Redhat Server in the past currently we are running 23 CentOS and 6 Fedora Server at the university, Although most of our Unix Infrastructure is based on Solaris my plans are to slowly migrate them all the Redhat. Any way coming back to the point; the whole purpose of joining the ambassador team is because i work for University and there is a lot of potential in spreading fedora at the university level I have been promoting the fedora at the University I thought i might as well become the official part fedora-ambassador team Once Again Thank you all for having me as part of the team :) -- Harry Sukumar From larry.cafiero at gmail.com Fri Jun 6 02:07:06 2008 From: larry.cafiero at gmail.com (Larry Cafiero) Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 19:07:06 -0700 Subject: [Ambassadors] Self-introduction of Lcafiero Message-ID: <7a0d56080806051907k279a91cu9bf3fb3df9b31818@mail.gmail.com> Hello, all -- Allow me to join the parade of new ambassadors introducing ourselves. My name is Larry Cafiero, and most of my pertinent information can be found at my wiki page here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Lcafiero In short, I am a journalist by profession, currently a copy editor at the Santa Cruz Sentinel in Santa Cruz, California, U.S.A. I am a returning student at Cabrillo College in Aptos, California, studying in the Unix/Linux Administrator Certificate program. I am currently the president of the Cabrillo College GNU/Linux Users Group. I consider myself a FOSS evangelist after finding out about -- and using -- FOSS programs during my campaign as the Green Party candidate for California Insurance Commissioner in the 2006 general election (270,218 votes, 3.2 percent). I have been a GNU/Linux and FOSS program user ever since. I used to be a distro-hopper, but I started using Fedora regularly while working on a project to convert dbEntrance, a FOSS browser for MySQL, from Macintosh to GNU/Linux. I found Fedora covers all the bases -- to use a baseball metaphor -- and it has everything that any one could want in a distro. As such, it represents GNU/Linux best of all distros currently out there. I look forward to working with Karsten Wade, another ambassador who lives nearby in Santa Cruz, in promoting Fedora. Most immediately, I am involved in the Lindependence 2008 campaign, which introduces GNU/Linux and FOSS to the town of Felton, California, with the intention of having them go "Microsoft-free" for one week in late July, as well as another effort by the Cabrillo College GLUG to convert charter schools in Santa Cruz County, California, to Fedora. If you have gotten this far without falling asleep, thank you.

Message-ID: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I thought I should send a shout out to the Fedora Ambassadors list. I am Harish Pillay and have been in the FOSS space for a really long time. I first came across free software back in 1986 or so when FSF shipped a tape containing emacs to my school, Oregon State University. I was intrigued by what it offered and over the next few years, got involved because the options available then (OS/2, windows 286, windows 386) were just not interesting enough. Eventually, in the early 1990s (91/92), I started looking at the BSD project for 386s and also came across Linus' post on comp.os.minix which was interesting from the point of view of being a Unix-like operating system being developed outside the US. That, to me, was crucial as it meant that some of the archaic regulations of the US then (no export of crypto) did not apply. I got more and more involved with Linux and in 1993 helped found the Linux Users' Group (Singapore). To cut the long story short, fast forward about 10 years and after a few startups of which some went spectacularly bust, I am glad to be able to engage with the FOSS community all the while. In 2003, I helped set up Red Hat in Singapore and have been with them since. The last 5 years have been an amazing journey (and it still continues to be) and my role within Red Hat is to help drive the community and the Fedora group for Asia Pacific a geographical region which Red Hat defines as every country east from Pakistan including ANZ, Japan, Korea, China etc). I have had the privilege in organizing 4 Linux conferences (1999, 2000 and 2001 called the Singapore Linux Conference and in 2003 called the Asian Enterprise Open Source Conference) as well as participating in the Asia Open Source Software Symposium from 2003 onwards. My passions are in pushing for both open standards and open source solutions everywhere.

The Ambassadors in the following locations could move their user wiki pages to the new wiki. The following is the list : * Central America * Central Asia * Eastern Asia * Australia and New Zealand There are a few IDs for which i couldnt find the FASIDs hence i request the respective ambassadors to update their pages and the other ambassadors could just verify their IDs and move their pages too. I would notify other people once i move the next set :) Thanks for your co-operation .

I'm Jo?o Felipe Santos, from Florian?polis - SC - Brazil. I'm joining Fedora Ambassadors group because I'm working on a lot of Free Software events here at my city, and I think that we need to show more of the capabilities of our distro and project. We have a lot of universities here, so I think it's a good field to explore. There are lots of potential users and contributors and we need to meet them. I am an undergraduate on Electrical Engineering and member of the Free Software User Group of my university. I'm already in contact with other Brazillian Ambassadors, specially those from Santa Catarina, because we are working to create the Santa Catarina Fedora user group. That's it, I hope we can work together to empower our community :) Cheers!

But people liked it a lot. Gimp has not even had slides. Simon used only live Gimp to do his lecture. That was very cool. Ian Murdock had some slides, but there was no text. He displayed some artwork, "if you listen to me, you don`t need to read the same stuff, so I show you some fine artworks". Very cool :-) > As an experienced trainer I know people learn best by seeing and > hearing. Powerpoint is nice but showing the real thing is better :) Yes. I tried to do this for my workshop "Introduction into building RPMs". Then I realized, I only have 45 minutes. That`s way to short to really write a spec-file and build the rpm. LinuxTag has to give the workshop more time. For things to show (not to create) like desktop-eye-candy or some other feature, 45 minutes are much more time. cu romal From linux.charged at gmail.com Sat Jun 7 01:23:42 2008 From: linux.charged at gmail.com (Junior Tomazelli) Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 22:23:42 -0300 Subject: [Ambassadors] Introduction In-Reply-To: <1212762261.3149.4.camel@stacy.localdomain> References: <1212717796.13461.15.camel@shakthi> <1212762261.3149.4.camel@stacy.localdomain> Message-ID: Welcome ;D -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For all who doesn't know, Campus Party its a really huge meeting for all geeks (and not geeks) to share everything related to technology. This year Campus Party is going to be at Bogot? and a company from my city will be sponsoring me to go to the event which will last for seven days from June 23th to June 29th . I knew about the event a month ago, but i didnt plan on going (it was too expensive for me) but now I'll be there. I just knew about the Free Software section at Campus party, so im planning on being there all the time I can. I knew about a Debian conference and so i felt like failing here as i see no one from fedora (we have 3 ambassadors there) is doing something, so right now its too late for me to prepare something that should be accepted for the event, so i would like to know in which other way should i promote fedora?

Basierend auf den Anmeldungen wird jetzt das Programm auf der Webseite zusammengestellt und der Prospekt erstellt. Mit diesem eMail ist die Anmeldung verbindlich. Beachtet bitte, dass das OK Spesen aufgrund des knappen Budgets nur ?bernimmt, wenn es diese explizit zugesichert hat. Das OK hat in einem Hotel nahe des Veranstaltungsortes einige Zimmer reserviert. Falls Bedarf besteht, wendet Euch bitte an contact at openexpo.ch. Das weitere Vorgehen: 10. 6. 2008: Allf?llige Erg?nzungen zu den angemeldeten Texten: Ende Juni Das Gut zum Druck kommt relativ rasch. Wir sind auch froh, wenn allf?llige R?ckfragen von uns rasch beantwortet werden, so dass im Juli die Prospekte hergestellt werden k?nnen. Wenn es im Prospekt zu Platzproblemen kommt, kann es sein, dass auf 1-2 Projekte leider nicht hingewiesen werden kann. Wir bitten hier bereits jetzt um Verst?ndnis. 23. 9. 2008: Ab 15:00 ist der Aufbau m?glich 24. 9. 2008: Ab 08:30 sollten die St?nde fertig aufgebaut sein. 25. 9. 2088: Ab 17:00 kann mit dem Abbau begonnen werden. Auch dieses Jahr bieten wir wieder die M?glichkeit A2-Poster mit unserem Plotter herzustellen (Qualit?t wie bisher). Eine druckfertige PDF-Vorlage sollte bis sp?testens 10. 9. 2008 an contact at openexpo.ch geschickt sein. Da diese OpenExpo nicht in Bern stattfindet, k?nnen sp?tere Sendungen u.U. nicht mehr ber?cksichtigt werden. Es kommt dasselbe Muster Tische/St?hle und Anordnung zum Tragen wie bereits an der letzten OpenExpo. Das ist nicht v?llig optimal, aber es ist die beste L?sung, die wir finden konnten. Das Netzwerk wird verbessert. Neu wird jeder Projektstand einen Ethernet-Anschluss haben. Wenn mehr angeschlossen werden soll, so muss das Projekt das Equipment selber mitbringen. Netzwerkkabel, eine Stromleiste, Stromkabel sind unseres Erachtens f?r ein Projekt immer n?tzlich. Wir werden dieses Mal auch einen kleinen Drucker mitbringen. F?r Eurer Engagement nochmals besten Dank und bis sp?testens im Herbst.

Yesterday's meeting was attended by 5-6 people only, though it was announced 3 weeks ago. No one even objected about the day and timing.

Yeah i understand how it feels and its a mistake that people didnt attend and i was also in that list. i was not able to attend due to power cut problems in my area and though there could be reasons for people, at the end of the day we didnt attend and its a mistake. > Sorry to say this, but we are making *absolutely* no progress.

I had some ideas and i was talking to Siddharth yesterday coz i recieved some media requests and sent them replies in that regard too. On the same front i had some ideas which i wanted to share but unfortunately couldnt. > Do you think a community or project can progress this way? Yeah i feel this shouldnt continue and lets learn from this and start attending the meetings from now on. Lets discuss on how to move forward. I am sorry that i couldnt make it up yeterday.

While it's really unfortunate that most of the ambassadors was not able to show up for some reason or the other (me included), we should keep the faith.

Same time would be difficult during the weekdays as lot of people might be working at office and they wouldnt have the access to get into the channels using IRC Clients.

Try to get something accepted by the event anyway. The Fedora name is a big name. They might make an exception. 2. Put this event on the Event Page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents This way, other regional ambassadors have a better chance of knowing about it. 3. If you can't get any formal recognition at the event, just show up and set up a cheap card table and a chair, print a Fedora sign, and make 50 CDs and lots and lots of collateral. What are they going to do, throw you out? :) Good luck.

Yes, me too got a few offers, but... let us take this to the mailing list k sure as you can see the FreeMedia India page we are doing quiet good with local contacts initiative eof for now redhat india talked about this, but no representative from them anyone have anything more to say? -1 -1 -1 -1 ok...then we close but only to say this on record In APAC there is a lack of people seriously trying to contribute. A lot of people join but a few continues. anyway thank you all for attending the meeting we can continue our efforts and try to make some awareness.. it is still early times.. lets hope for some good things coming up susmit, i'm an ex fedora ambassador from bangladesh, can i say something? sure .. yap.. thanks for organizing.... off the record, of coarse susmit, i think the inactive ambassadors should be removed welcome, maybe next time there will be more attendees :) Ekushey, there was a hot discussion on this..but no progress. if someone is not contributing, and still taking the credit of being an "ambassador", then the active ones get discouraged yes the result was inactive ambassadors are an issue but removing them is not a solution well, i removed myself beacuse of this it's been over 2 years since then and i still don't see any difference ! born2linux +1 if I'm not mistaken, magie has invited ph ambassadors 3 times already only 2-3 come to meet :( it is the case in India too... lets continue on the mailing list then... sure..the meeting ends here. +1 susmit, then you can do a review on the ambassadors. if they haven't done anything in the last 3 month or so, they get removed +1 +1 or, there should be an approval system when someday wants to join the ambassadors program Ekushey, how is that going to help? removing does not increase productivity. does it? ! hanthana, you are so late !!! :) go on please yes, sorry mate ! (as I'm not feeling well) why do we need to remove them the things is, any body can contribute at any point this might be badly affecting to the Fedora brand we can't force yes, agreed. people need not be removed. But they need to be pushed. just self motivation, satisfaction agree... a recognition system is better then removal of incative +1 +1 we should thing about how to motivate not to demotivate +1 +1 +1 passion these ppl comes not because of money jbenedict, I like it ;) few days ago Angel from Bangaladesh and me had a small chat regarding Free Media but there should be a system where we (or the project) may ask for explanation we lack that. and I just ask about having a T-shirt for FreeMedia contributors anybody else? what do you guys think about gifit for all (something small) for those who really work define "really work"...work is itself a gift :) anyway our time is up. See you all next time. May be next week? two way A person to fedora, and fedora to person A as Open Suse runs ;) maybe a small nice badge as a appreciation of success. +1 +1 even a "web badge" should go a long way +1 so no need to spend +1 we can hit the mailing list for the pending points... as we are overshooting the alloted time * Bangladesh (n=russell at unaffiliated/ekushey) has joined #fedora-meeting ++1 ++1 +1 people love to show off web badges ;) +1 that s cool please dragt a mail regarding this jbenedict? once we reach to community (physically) physical things are more attractive than web are we meeting next week or next to next week? what do you say? next next week? +1 for next week this my 1st meeting so i trust susmit will do better some work for u sushmit :) ?? sure...will do it +1 next week thanks OT: my wiki is DanishkaNavin if any body required lets try next week.. and ask ambassadors to vote so that we are sure whos gonna be there we meet next week again then. ack ok salamat (thanks) thank you all. magie, salam :) cya guys.. and thanks sushmit for running the meeting bye cheers! see you again. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SusmitShannigrahi ============================================= From danishka at gmail.com Mon Jun 9 13:17:33 2008 From: danishka at gmail.com (Danishka Navin) Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 18:47:33 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] APAC ambassadors meeting.

As I know there are good community members from your country (India). Specially Rahul Sundharam [1] giving good a contribution. Hope you met him at FOSS.IN 2007 :) and the Punjabi Community too. Amanpreet Singh [2] and Jassy Phulewala [3]. both of them working for spreding FC on Grate Panjab part from their usual Fedora contribution. I think this is good time to motivate all the Ambassadors . Good leaders have a talent of getting the support from ANY_BODY ;-) [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RahulSundaram [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AmanAlam [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JassyPhulewala > Regards, > Susmit. > > ============================================= > ssh > 0x86DD170A > http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SusmitShannigrahi > ============================================= > > -- > Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list > Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list > Best Regards, -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com (use Sinhala Unicode fonts) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have a Nokia e51. Even if a person has got all he wants say ( a cell phone with all things) can this be done from office during working hours ? i am sure lot of people work for companies and i guess it would be a problem. I feel it will be a problem for me atleast. How about this Sunday at 4 PM? If this is fine with everyone ? We could go ahead.

Let's just recognize that we need to chat and let's move on. A lot of people have done stuff and we are all thankful for that. What I would like to see the collective us to achieve is: a) list out a set of action items in our respective geographies that promote Fedora and Open Source in general b) Take ownership and responsibilities of whatever we sign up for. Shall we just move on and plan for the next chat? Let's see if it makes sense for us to have both weekday and weekend chats? Our challenge here in APAC is that we have 6 time zones to cater to - from Pakistan to NZ. Unlike the US or EMEA, we have a bigger challenge. We also have to work within the connectivity challenge as well.

During this time we saw a lot of excellent event reports posted to mailing lists and on blogs of organizers and attendees letting everyone know how the party went and allowing us to see for ourselves through many pictures taken at the events. All of the parties were a great success. Before I announce the winner of the Fedora laptop bag being offered for the Release Party Contest [1], I want to take a moment to thank everyone who participated. It takes a lot of work to plan and prepare for a release party and then after the event, write the event reports and gather up the photos of the event and posting them for everyone else in the Fedora community to see. The Fedora Ambassador Steering Committee and the Fedora community as a whole greatly appreciate the hours the volunteers spent making sure Fedora had a presence in their community and spreading information about the Fedora Project worldwide. This work helps build the community - both in increasing the number of Fedora users and finding more contributors to join the project. Thank you for all of your work. We could only choose one winner of the Release Party Contest and it was difficult to do so. In selecting a winner FAmSCo took a number of items into consideration, including what types of events happened at the party, number of attendees, creativity and quality of the event report. Amongst all of the great entries we received, it is my pleasure to announce the Los Angeles, California Release Party organized by Grady Laksmono as the winner! Grady put a lot of work into the release party, not even being deterred when the Fedora 9 release date slipped. The event was held at the California State University in the College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology and was attended by approximately 40 people. Grady's full event report and pictures are posted here: http://laksmono.com/2008/05/23/los-angeles-fedora-9-release-party-success/ Thank you Grady for all of your work and we hope you enjoy the new laptop bag we will be arranging to have shipped to you.

I would also like to thanks everyone for the contribution and helps from the Fedora Arts who helped me made the fliers, those of you who contributed with some template presentations, and Chris who have sent me the Fedora books to give out. I also gathered some support on campus with staff, faculty, and friends, so I would also like to thank them as well. Lastly, I would also thank Thomas and FAmSCo for the generous supports!

The conference aims to make the public, IT experts and not, aware of the opportunities offered not only by the GNU/Linux OS, but also by many OpenSource applications. Thanks to the workshops and the participation of many experts, users will have the opportunity to know best several topics such as network security, software licenses, OS interoperability and others. During the afternoon, it will be also presented the latest Fedora release, the GNU/Linux distribution by the Fedora Project: an OpenSource project sponsored by Red Hat and supported by the community. A team of volunteers will be ready to install this OS on the computers of the participants. Fedora is indicated for any uses since it contains all the most common tools a user will ever need in a server environment, as well as a bundle of graphical tools for the system configurations, useful to those users who are in search of a user-friendly desktop distribution http://pavia.linux.it/events/view/25 -- Andrea Modesto Rossi Fedora Ambassador https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AndreaModestoRossi From subhodip at fedoraproject.org Tue Jun 10 14:24:33 2008 From: subhodip at fedoraproject.org (subhodip biswas) Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:54:33 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] APAC ambassadors meeting.

LUGS has sorta deferred to SLMG which uses meetup.com to get this going and have been very successful. LUGS has other plans being worked on so do subscribe the slugnet at lugs.org.sg mailing list for announcements etc. > Anyway, i'm planing FreeMedia or Sponsor program, since you are keen to > start a free Fedora CD/DVD distribution center in Singapore, may be you can > meet me at we discuss and do it together etc....

Message-ID: I've already sent this text to JoergSimon,but i tough this could be intresting.. So here it comes: My name is Lucas do Amaral Saboya I'm 18 years old and I live in the city of Fortaleza in Brazil close to the international airport of Fortaleza (Pinto Martins). For 4 years I was an webmaster of CEFETCE (Centro Federal de Educa??o Tecnologica do Cear? - Federal Technology Center of Cear?, and in this period, got my first contact with linux from Fedora Core 4, and now, I am Linux System Administrator on a research project o CEFETCE and a tranee of System Admin at the IT Departament on CEFETCE too. Since I started this new job @ this research project, I'm responsible for everything about Linux here in the project and some other things, like CD-ROM development PHP Programming and managing some servers of the IT Department too. I personally use ONLY Linux for about 4 months, but spent about 3 years on dual boot. Starting with FC4, upgraded to FC5, and FC6, and FC7, and FC8, now I user Fedora Core 9 on my notebook, and other 15 machines, between desktops, servers and thin clients. Also I got some experiences with Debian, Slackware and Ubuntu, but none of those has the same taste tha Fedora do :D, besides, it's the first Open Source OS I ever used, and never let me down with anything ! And now, that I decided to really get envolved with these linux stuff, I've subscribed in some linux courses, then I'll take some certifications, link LPI levels 1 and 2 and RHCE :) So, I think I can help this project spreading Fedora over my city. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Bear in mind we in Central California will make sure you will not be so lucky next time :-) Had I known there was a competition, I would have entered our event at Cabrillo College in Aptos, California (Santa Cruz County) on May 25 -- a "Hats Off to Fedora 9" installfest, which was part of the biweekly installfests that the Cabrillo College GNU/Linux Users Group holds. In short, Karsten Wade attended on behalf of Fedora (I was not yet an ambassador) and we had about 15-20 people during the course of the four hour installfest where we showed off Fedora 9 on a variety of machines. I don't know how many thumb drives went out (Karsten?), but I know of two machines which went home with Fedora 9 on them (and then there was that experiment with the Asus EeePC and the thumb drive . . .)

However, I am in Munich this week for the Red Hat EMEA marketing meetings. My boss is in town from the US, and he and I are going out to dinner. I can't blow him off, and I don't know when we'll be done. So I might miss one, or both, of those meetings. I wanted to send this message to apologize in advance, and let both those groups know that I didn't simply forget or ignore them.

Short introduction of myself Message-ID: <1213366705.7488.1.camel@Helios> ??Hello, please let me introduce myself. My name is Andreas K?hntopf, 24 years old, from Kronach (Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany). I am a student of cs at the University of Applied Sciences, Coburg and currently in the sixth semester. Unfortunately there is not that much of a linux community here in my area. When someone is using linux, it is mostly Ubuntu or some derived version of it. My plan is to introduce Fedora to some folks here and show some presence of a very strong distro. They have got to notice that Ubuntu is not the only modern desktop linux distribution. I also would like to help at events like linuxtag where applicable. As a visitor i have been to the linuxtag for four years now, and i think it's a great gathering of linux enthusiasts. I started using Linux in 1999 with SuSE Linux 6.2 because i always loved messing around with my PC system and trying something new. Later then i mostly used debian and ubuntu. Now in 2008 i started using / working with Fedora and i found it to be a very nicely designed system and a community which i would truly enjoy working with, so i joined the fedora-de irc channel and talked to some people ;-) Some of my skills which are probably of interest to the Fedora community: - Fluent in English, German is my mother-tongue - Programming skills: Strong knowledge of design patterns, Java, C/C++, Python, Ruby, Shell scripting - Strong knowledge of Software Engineering processes (through University) - Have used many linux distributions, so i can certainly compare things if someone asks me what the differences are e.g. between Ubuntu and Fedora - I love working with other people. - Willing to dedicate some time to open source projects ( i think that's a basic requirement ;-)) If you need more informations, please let me know! I'm looking forward to working with you ;-) Kind Regards, Andreas From hellcomdev at gmail.com Fri Jun 13 14:25:15 2008 From: hellcomdev at gmail.com (RazGriz) Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:25:15 -0300 Subject: [Ambassadors] Hello!

We in Germany are always happy to see new persons who are willing to contribute Fedora in Germany, Europe and also in our target audience EMEA. I'm sure it'll be a pleasure to work together with you. Unfortunately you missed our monthly meeting in IRC which I want to invite you on behalf of every Ambassador :-) Mostly and many of us are hanging around in the following channels on IRC @ FreeNode #fedora ?#fedora-mktg #fedora-ambassadors #fedora-meeting #fedora-de my own nick isn't tricky to guess; it's only GeroldKa.

Our first agenda, how to target colleges for potential contributors ok susmit before we start one quick question on the number of people at the moment yeah ok go ahead susmit 7 oh ok thanks yeah susmit go ahead with the agenda :) Yes there should be something interesting for the students to get motivated ! Hmm how about make use of the FreeMedia program? free media ? yea freemedia. free DVDs and such. will you eleborate please? ! yeah elaborate it leroylim hmm, perhaps focvs the FreeMedia program temporarily more on college students. give them free DVDs and installation media. leroylim, in the sense ? leroylim, ok ... but that gives access to the media. what turns them into contributors? hmm yeah exactly herson i'll have to think more about that. eof in college, we have this free access to distos distros ok ... agreed..go on please however, the challenge is to make more people aware on how to use them herson, yes true to an extent ! yeah go ahead perhaps organize talks on linux, and organize training programs too that's what i'm thinking complement that with the free media program generate more interest yea, i think so too. more users if used properly with the freemedia. could generate interest. in the end more contributors yeah susmit if you see here the common thing is to arrange on more Fedora conferences exactly nice..theoretically. But what people want to see is what they get at the end :) in India as you had indicated in the previous mail that the Conferences are too less * KageSenshi agree with susmit susmit, so i feel that users become potential contributors well in Singapore, i don't see much fedora conferences too. ! May be a certificate or something similar will help hanthana so targeting more users would end up in having more contributors not practically sorry to say ! ! in Sri Lanka www.linux.lk our lug is conducting more and more small events great. but are they regularly followed up? so, it is a good thing to increase the awareness ! I mean a basic workshop followed by a more advanced one? simply giving a DVD is not a good solution hmm perhaps a Fedora Certification? as many ppl take it as it free Fedora certification programme? after hanthana finishes, magie..after him G_81 yes giving DVDs alone does not help i think magie want to add something... * ianwelle1 (n=ianwelle at 66.232.222.84) has joined #fedora-meeting still most of countries canot hanndle FreeMedia magie please so, do we have enough resources to manage Certification prog' i was thinking more about linkages * ianweller has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) and LPI also there magie would you eleborate? best thing write and talk as much as possible, eof for example hanthana, may be online certification?? we were able to collaborate with some colleges last year to make open source part of their thesis so the students became contributors to several open source projects ! susmit, in Sri Lanka no body care about MCQ type exams, as it not mesuring your knowledge well magie, do you have the communications with the colleges? yes practicle exam gives more value if yes, can you upload that somewhere, so that we can reusse that? will have to ask for permission sure, if yes, that will be a great thing we were discussing about a official approach to the colleges G_81 yeah thanks ! i happen to speak to few of the college students last week. and i found that they dont know the starting point on how to contribute. The statistics were as follows the talk i had was with respect to fedora. It was a friendly talk and not an official talk some people say around 30 % knew what fedora was and what we are doing * MicroBob (n=Robert at fedora/pdpc.sustaining.BobJensen) has joined #Fedora-Meeting Some around 40 % didnt know what fedora was and hows it linked to RH some around 30 % didnt know what it was if you take these 3 categories lets take the first one the first 30 % who knew what it was a bit faster please :) people were interested in getting to know what it was more. Lot of people said they didnt know the starting point. ie i got same questions like can i contribute, am i eligible to contribute so the anwer here is what i feel is in India More Workshops/Conferences in colleges point 1 point 2 is Free Media Programme in those conferences make it more easy as they can start to use the stuff directly * ianwelle1 is now known as ianweller Point 3 The college students have projects and they dont know what to choose. Lot of people know OSS but dont know what project. So these people could be pulled in for Projects ie the Final semester projects could be done in Fedora I am more interested in the third one. yeah ! you want me to explain it bit further born2linux Engineering students have projects to complete G_81 a moment please +1 yeah sure born2linux, go ahead lets see what others say what we need to do is identify where contribution will be needed most to narrow down the projects that the students can choose from i collaborated with magie in her college linkage project they focused on the sahana disaster management system and found out that a mibile app was needed so the college students contributed one mobile we can do the same for fedora ! hanthana, you wanted to talk :) then G_81 susmit, yes go on please hope RH India have internship program better contact them for more help and few moths ago s/moths/months hmm, that RH's internal thing, we have no saying there.. is not it? I Felix and Rahul Sundharam they have created Tamil Spin and distribute along with a IT Magazin it might be a good point nice...can we replicate that by our community also? all ways students prefer something new I don't want to send every burden to RedHat..they are doing a lot :) * azneita (n=herson at 124.107.57.22) has joined #fedora-meeting as I know there are many spins for Indic languages yes yes there are G_81 so, ambassadors can get the help of them and send them to relavant places eof * born2linux has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) * magie has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) ok thanks * magie (n=engels at 124.104.101.239) has joined #fedora-meeting G_81 ? if you see the point hanthana was discussing about, is related to the point 3 that i gave. Creating a distro in a language is quite a hard one so if we can choose some topics on what the students need or let the students decide on what they want to work on we could form projects and ask them to contribute for fedora * born2linux (n=engels at 124.104.101.239) has joined #fedora-meeting well, creating a distro is not very hard, thanks to revisor, but rest we agree lets say a student wants to create a distro, instead of he looking for whats to be done, we could offer him help i use the word mentors here mentors play a very vital role here if we need to have the college-fedora interaction G__81, ceating distro in alanguage is not hard if you have translated gnome, OO and Fx,etc yes i agree for a college student whos new is still a hard one ok..just an example..just an example i did have a college talk so i am sure how many students know how to create a new one susmit, so we need to launch a mentors programme what others say? this programme could be really good on how we could mentor new people it could be college guys, it could be anybody for that matter even Ubuntu has a programme on the same lines and thats one reason for its short time success too so we could have a mentors programme engage new students and get in touch with the mentor straight away eof others, your opinions please? ! born2linux G__81's suggestion sounds good +1 ! +1 but perhaps we can make being a mentor part of an ambassador's job? just perhaps ! so we don't have to create a new programme eof G_81 thanks for considering mine. Making Mentors as part of ambassadors is difficult. An Ambassador could be a mentor thats entirely left to him there is a mentor prograam already don't worry susmit, oh great so its just extending it fully sorry, kind of lost... mentor on college project? ! i didnt know that we had one so we need to publicise that or within fedora? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mentors yes i did see that now so we need to publicise the mentors programme azneita, no, In general ? born2linux thats it and with the new students i am sure it would take off eof G__81, so this is the same thing you want? same thing ? ! azneita the existingt mentor programme is the same metor programme that you were suggesting earlier? not exactly no not exactly the mentors program is for mentoring prospective ambassadors ok yes...but we can extend that if we all agree yes exactly that was what i was talking about ok got it ! ahh https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mentors/NewMentors i also thought that it was a bit different, which is why is suggested integrating G__81's suggestion with FA FA ? ambassaors oh ok but yes let me give you an example wait a sec please ok now that the possibility of extending the mentor programme is here, +1 to that how many of you do agree? +1 +1 .. +1 i wouldn't mind mentoring, +1 + 1 +1 :) if most does, let's write down the exact steps. 1. Identifying the mentors and their areas ! magie coordinate with marketing so people know about the extended mentor program? sure. ! G_81 and important thing to note here is the mentors name should be associated with the project when a person wants to join a project * herson has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) if you take Ubuntu and if you want to join the 5 a day bug squad you could see the name mentioned there as a mentor. We need something like that so that the person (student) can get in touch with the person whos the mentor rather than asking "whats that i ve to do ?" yes. eof So the first step? * wariola_ (n=wariola at 118.100.21.146) has joined #fedora-meeting Listing mentors. yes second? people? then find the people who want to act as a mentor for projects +1 G_81, thats the first step. ie something like for project X "Mr Y " would be the mentor no we could have a page for the list of mentors the second could be the mapping along with their expertise..cut the complexity make it simple ? * herson (n=herson at 124.107.57.22) has joined #fedora-meeting the first page should contain a table with mentors, their expertise and projects available so just one page to show the mentors and the projects they are associated with ok perfect that makes sense :) too * azneita has quit ("Leaving") ! KageSenshi KageSenshi ? for projects that we have control over its webpages, I would suggest the project to also link to the mentor list .. as usually, potential contributors will visit the project page first .. having the mentor list separated might caused they don't know mentors exist good idea. +1 +1 +1 ! G_81 +1 we need to be fast...the meeting closes in 20 minutes yes the mentor has to be linked in that webpage. If a new person visits the web page he could probably see the mentors name (wiki URL) and probably we could give a link there to see the available list of mentors eof we will work on minute details later ok please work on the framework ok then after listing the mentors, we need to find the timeline suiltable for mentors and students 3 months or something like that? yeah important time period is important most colleges expect something at the end of 6 months :) so timeline is important we shall refine it on the list. yeah just an example :) go ahead anyone else any sugessions? * wariola_ is now known as wariola maybe we can assign point persons on this initiative to keep the ball rolling off-list and as ambassadors we need to take this further by saying that there are mentors so join ! :) something like that :) we will mail it to the list when posting the meeting summary so third step? how to certify successful...evaluation yeah can the students have interactions with mentors? they must is face to face possible ? :) i agree depends on the mentor :) may be...not very important though evaluvation is must and periodic evaluvations are important ie a chunk of work to be shown in X days others? could be decided on the days and the scope of work looks good for now otherwise at the end of the first month we cannot trace the progress of the student. ok..then last thing what to present if sucessfully passed? I see this as a project so if a mentor has 3 students he can prepare kind of management sheet and trace the progress of each student susmit, a certificate from fedora that the student has participated in the programme and completed successfully as part of the project. and a small give away? +1 +1 yeah sure G_81, can you please create a wiki page on this? +1 yeah sure done I shall take the proposal to the list and famsco lets see how other people reacts great :) susmit, what should the wiki contain as of now our point of discussions here go on, we will refine it if necessary ok so ill create a page with the points that we discussed * wariola has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) techbugs it not here today, so can not discuss freemedia today anyone have anything more to say? if not we close hmm ok so no discussion on free media ? will be of no use, as the person who says most on these is absent hmm ok 5 so where do you want the wiki page to be The URL create it under Ambassador right now we can always move it if req hmm.. ok So we close here.. yeah Thank you all for being here and giving your valuable suggestions susmit, i ll contact you if i need some details on this :) sure Have a nice day all :) susmit, thanks for leading the meet magie, welcome thanks and you all too thanks all susmit, thanks for leading the meet "see" you all again soon :) xD same with you guys.

And all other who attend also. FROSCon is unfortunately always in the holiday time of my province where either I'm on holiday or can't leave home because my wife has to work. So it's again impossible for me to attend :-( But I talked at Linuxtag with the OrgaTeam of Froscon and promised that Fedora will attend and that max has submitted a talk ... We will wait untill Max has given his speach and written his report to see how important Froscon will be in future.

Generally the final/pre-final year engineering students need to do some project work on a topic. What I personally saw that they desperately search for one. we can make a lot of new contributors if we provide them with a project to work, some guidence and may be a certificate at the end. (As they say, target this segment :)) This way we can make much more widespread effect as the student partners themselves will spread Fedora within their peers and their college. Also we may talk about officially tie-up with some colleges. The basic idea is here[2]. Now the question id if this is worth taking up. If yes, lets refine it here.

If you look at the wiki page that has been created, the same point has been added. Creating an awareness on what is Fedora and whats so great about it is also an important area. This brings in awareness and that awareness need to be converted to something solid and hence the Mentor programme takes the next step of mentoring new people for their projects which help them in the longer run.

Release is expected for July. - I have made various packages for Foresight Linux, Yellow Dog Linux, and now for Fedora. fbpanel, xqf and freesci are packages i have made for Fedora, more to come! I started, in the late 90's, with SuSE (openSUSE) but Yast was a horror. I switched to Debian and over the years, i really dont like the .deb system. Then there was Foresight Linux and the revolutionary conary package manager. But now, the german community is almost death. I used Fedora for many years as a secondary system, for 1 year now its my first system. I dont want to leave soon. :) I want to help the German Fedora community to grow, and want to help to spread the word. Especially here in Warstein. Maybe i can build up a Linux User Group.....

The idea could be giving the students the domains to choose from and then in each domain we could have some options internally.

Most students here are not even aware of such software until they actually enter college.. i am an example..With respect to wine ... You cant really expect a sudden shift from an entire life of windows to Fedora instantaneously..it can be highly frustatingj just setting up a fedora system with everything functional.. Also being able to run games etc will be an incentive.. A lot of people refrain from using Linux because they use software that "cannot" be run on it.. Using wine will show them that we can run windows software and more than that... They will start with it and with passing time find Linux open source software that is as good if not better than what theyve been using all their lives...regards, --- On Thu, 19/6/08, susmit shannigrahi wrote: From: susmit shannigrahi Subject: Re: [Ambassadors] Re: Student partnership program.

Something like Networking, Robotics, Gaming,etc. We just started a Robotics SIG, we'll see where we are by the end of the summer in terms of putting forward interesting potential project. I saw your blog entry with the wiki page. I'm too overloaded with other things to take an active role in formulating the fedora-student mentoring process. But if you can get a process defined, that I can shop around I'm pretty sure I can help get students and faculty from institutions have have some connections with to looking at how to participate. I could certainly look at getting an undergraduate locally at my home institution involved in the next academic year. -jef From lucas at cefetce.br Thu Jun 19 18:58:14 2008 From: lucas at cefetce.br (Lucas Saboya) Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:58:14 -0300 Subject: [Ambassadors] Greetings In-Reply-To: <1213897058-a44037fdd9dc435b2198dcbf7271c035@networkingaume.be> References: <1213897058-a44037fdd9dc435b2198dcbf7271c035@networkingaume.be> Message-ID: Wellcome aboard :) 2008/6/19 Jean Thomas : > hi all, > > So, first of all I'm 50 years old,(hoops) and i'm From Belgium. > I am an independent consultant / trainer / teacher (night school) in > Computer Networking.

We should always show the FOSS alternatives. Unless we guide the newbies properly they will be always in a state of uncertainty where to start using FOSS in their life. Fedora is always a very good entry point , I ask the students to start using it first. Then go ahead and learn the basics of developments.

All I have done is take part in FreeMedia program, delivering some free dvds around. So this is my first (or second) move, forming a community of fedora users, where users can interact and help each other. This is a big task for me since I've so many offline duties in other parts of my life, but if I don't do or die trying to do it now, maybe it would be too late for me later :P I've already own a group in google called id-fedora, but it's still empty, would you join in Adarsh?

Yes, I'm registering fedoraproject.or.id (not org, .id only use 2 letters for organization). The registration is already submitted but there's a problem concerning the requirements to register the domain, that is beside a copy of my ID-Card, they also need a "Mandate Letter" or something like that. According to the officer that e-mailed me, a formal letter/e-mail (with fedora logo in it) from the project leader or someone in charge will do it. Before, registering .or.id only need a ID-Card copy of the admin, but now they need some organization 'stamp' on it :) For the cms, I'm considering drupal or joomla, but still open for more alternatives. What's your site? and thank you for your tips and help offer.

If not, why not? While I absolutely encorage local and regional groups, the first step should not be to register a domain and set up your own infrastructure. I'd like to see Ambassadors contribute to the Fedora Infrastructure group, working on adding enhancements and features that will directly benefit both your local groups, and the Project as a whole. Imagine if fedorahosted.org, or the asterisk, or the wiki, or the download services, all were replicated (differently) by many teams around the world. A huge amount of effort and duplication, at what cost (even if borne by the Ambassadors themselves), but with limited geographical (thus contributor) reach. Lots of work, little gain. So please, consider using existing Fedora Infrastructure resources to further the goals and outreach of your local teams. If this proves impossible, please advise the Infrastructure team on the services need that aren't present, and then help get them created and maintained in the Infrastructure team. Thanks, Matt (who speaks only for himself, but is an active member of the Infrastructure team.)

ANS - I tested the script around 6 times by doing a fresh Fedora Install ( and applying Updates) on my Laptop and if it didnt worked then y didn't you tell me if i was not aware of it, you were you should have told be that this sort of problem was there Q2 - Plus it was a completely offline install which meant that the software it installed was outdated quickly ANS - As you know that the script was made for LUG Manipal's Install Fest so as to help people have a basic setup of Fedora available with them ( preferably in dual boot mode ), so that they can learn about a world about the propertery softwares. and as we were not by any chance able to provide all the 50+ people with Internet connection ( as the only support we get from College is a place to meet and nothing else ) we had to go for a Offline script (and also we knew how long will it take them to download form the net at the speeds that we get at our rooms) regarding Updates- updates till Jan First week were included in the script and install fest was in jan end so it was only a few weeks old and if you have used it you must have noticed the first thing it asks you to do is to Update your Kernel Q3 - have you updated it?? Is a new script available?? ANS - Yes i update my script in mid Feb when i came to know about an issue with some KDE packages and in newer Kernel 2.6.24+ 2D support for our card ( ATI 1250 ) is there so that wont be a problem any more Q4 - Just makein a script isnt enough.. Ans - i agree with you that is y we took many workshops like Managing and using Linux, LAMP, PHP etc.... Q5 - Also giving people a script to set up their system is not the right way of doing things.. Why you spoon feeding them?? Help them .. its a different matter altogether.. How many people know how to install ndiswrapper manually?? not any of the ones who used your script..?? ANS - if giving script was not the right way then what was. As you are aware that our Lappy's config ( with ATI 1250 and brodcom 5312 ) is not what one will ask you to use linux on, at that time xorg will crash on ATI 1250 leaving you in the command mode ( which was not good for making there concept clear that linux is not all command line ) and Brodcom 5312 module which does not have any working Linux driver, because of which they had no net and as there is (mostely) no LAN and all WiFi do you expect first timers to search for all stuff download all dependencies etc about how manny people know howto install ndiswrapper i will give you example of one guy Shoumen, He had only heard of Linux before he got it from one of my friend and now he has more knowledge about ndiswrapper and kernel modules then most of people you know, i installed Fedora and Ubunu in his lappy, spoon feeded him dont you think so Q6 - During the install fest i was busy setting up my laptop without your script..I did everythin myself.. from ndiswrapper to compiz-fusion.. and i learnt tons in the process adn came across a lot of resources that i can use ANS - its very good to hear that but dont you think that you should have been there at that time or any other workshop which we( LUG Manipal ) conducted, if not attending but helping us, sharing resources that you have discovered with all other people, helping them????? Let me ask you one thing now that you have learned so much how have you contributed back to it, i have installed Linux on 100+ people's PC/Laptop's and more then 20 use it regurely dont you think you should do something, simply saying that this has to be done, that needs to be done wont help, you will have to come out do something and I hope now that you know all this you will help it progress further...... sorry again for spamming this topic, I wont be posting to this topic anymore but only be reading this, feel free to contact me on my mail Thank you Ankur Shrivastava ankur [ at ] ankurs.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Extending fedora mentor program to students Message-ID: <96360.23605.qm@web8405.mail.in.yahoo.com> Answers one by oneQ.Why i dint tell you that the script scrwd up at times ? Ans. ?because i dint use it, also its success/failure looked like a game of luck at times.. sometimes it installed what it had to and sometimes it failed.. Explaining this to you would have been done better by ?a user..Q.why i did not attend the workshops/contribute ??Ans . It was a choice i made at the time.. I had activaties that i chose to give preference to over the workshops , im efficient at teaching myself things using books and the internet which aided in my decision.. Also i did not think that the resources that i obtained would be helpful since the script was already available..Q. what was the right way??Ans.. listing the dependancies required for the ndiswrapper, and walking the attendees through a compilation from source.. it would have taught them the entire dependancy concept and the most basic way of installing a package.. The ati driver from the site should have been provided as a temporary measure to enable the users to use the gui.. once these two are functional they should have been asked to try installing the other packages such as graphics fgxlr, kernel updates etc using yum on their own..and queries entertained via email if another session could not be managed shortly..? this would have shown the simplicity of yum and its convienience..I do not expect them to download dependancies.. i expect them to be told of which dependancies exactly are necessary and help them there..?Q. do i help ppl??Ans .. It is wrong for you to assume that i do not share my knowledge with people.. i just do not propogate the fact that im a linux user and that ive acquired knowledge with that respect... There are people who are known to specialise in linux ( you are a mojor example) and people prefer calling you and taking a script or a straight command than to looking up man pages or cosulting the fedoraforums (my methods)...they do solve their problems.. they know what to do .. but not why they do so..?Q. how have i contributed??Ans.. installing fedora on 100+ peoples laptops out of which 20 use it regularly is not the only way of contributing.. Also u chose to fathom contributions in manipal..contributing outside manipal is also counted.. again.. thiese contributions will not be known to the public.. i dont simply say that this needs to be done.. i think of how it should be done and implement it wherever i can.. i have signed up for bug triaging and am learning (though slowly), i have also joined the freemedia and local provision programmes (at a standstill due to holidays) and have just joined the documentation project.. i dont need to tell anyone of these but im enlightening you to remove some false assumptions..Q do i want to quarrel with you??Ans.. thats the last thing im interested in doing \regards,Ankur..sincere apologies to all for the unneeded posts on the topic... please ignore..just some clarification needed..clarifications ended..?

Well, I have learned most of it by myself. What I am talking about is the general awareness. I want to make the learning process smoother for interested folks than what it has been for me. I guess that's what being an ambassador is all about. As for your last point about sending emails in plain-text format, I had no idea that HTML email would offend you. I have been using it for all my posts to the fedora mailing lists, and you are the only one to complain.

I'm sure everyone can read the whole thing but in terms of framework, this is how they did it: - created a liaison position within the college (held by a Fedora contributor; funded by Redhat?) - Linux/Unix System Administration Program - integrated to academic coursework, major projects - funded by government funds Maybe we can ask Chris Tyler more about the details? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What do you say ? My idea is like this (will upload to the wiki), Please review. AT FEDORA: * Contributors suggest potential projects. * Reviewed by peers, review committee. * Listing accepted Projects . * Please note: "Projects" does not mean coding only. It means whatever is useful for Fedora and community as a whole. For example, A few tentative projects, other than coding may be "Creating an BN_IN live cd/Creating a kids spin/Translating fp.o in BN_IN " * Assigning mentors and backup mentors. * Fixing up timing and duration of project. * Evaluation by mentor and review committee. AT THE INSTITUTES: * Approach the institutes "Officially". * Organise seminar/workshop at institutes. A lot of students will come and participate. Most of them are potential users. * Follow that up with another advanced workshop. Here you can identify the potential contributors. * Now let these selected students know about the mailing lists, irc and help them identifying their areas of interest. * Give them a small and easy test, only to identify their willingness and eagerness to work. * Assign them projects. * Award them for good work. This is a very rough draft, please help improving them. If you have any question, please add it to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora-Student_Mentor_Programme#Issues_to_be_resolved Thanks. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= From prakhar.jiit at gmail.com Sat Jun 21 20:24:24 2008 From: prakhar.jiit at gmail.com (Prakhar Agarwal) Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2008 01:54:24 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] Introduction-New FA Message-ID: Hello All, I have just joined the Fedora Ambassador Group.

My name is Mathieu Bridon, known online as bochecha. I discovered Linux at school 4 years ago and was really annoyed by the fact that I had to use it when it seemed totally broken. Two and a half years ago, out of curiosity, I decided to try it again. I spent one week with Ubuntu, breaking it every time I was trying to do something with it, reinstalling it twice a day. :) Then someone made me discover Fedora and had the patience to explain me the basics so that I could at least use it. I then discover the french Fedora community, in which I instantly felt at home and quickly made some friends. What kept me in Fedora all this time and will probably keep me ad vitam aeternam is its strong ethics (only open source, always upstream, etc...). After being involved in the french community by doing support on the forum and IRC, I decided it was time for me to start contributing directly to the Fedora project. My first RPM just landed in updates-testing and I might join the translation team if I ever find the time for it. I also co-initiated with Mohamed Elmorabity the Fedora | Paris project. What we do is gather the Fedoristas who live in Paris and have diner every 2 weeks, and more if the night goes on. Of course, we all already know each other on IRC or on the forums, so those meetings are more a way to know the non-geek-side of each other, and build friendship inside our community. Fedora | Paris organized the Saturday night party this week end before the Sunday Install Party, so that people who don't live in Paris and were coming in Paris for the IP would receive a warm welcome. As an Ambassador, I'll try to go on promoting Fedora everywhere I can, starting with the IT company where I work which is too Debian / Ubuntu oriented. I'd like to have some co-workers contributing to Fedora, as they already contribute to other FOSS projects. Looking forward to working with you, almighty Fedora Ambassadors of the world. :) Mathieu Bridon aka bochecha -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Ah, that was what I though. It is an issue of familiarity. My 8 and 10 year olds have been growing up with Linux everywhere and when they sat in their first computer class in school, they were "lost". Where is FF? Where is OpenOffice? What is this thing with an "e"? But they still love the Fedora on their home machines.

I'm an network admin and I work to BCP bank - Paris. My first linux (1997) was an Slackware 3.3 and RedHat 4.2 (Vanderbilt). I used it up to 9 (Shrike). Afterwards, I worked with various distros like SuSE, debian and similars, distros based on RedHat like Mandrake/Mandriva and finally LFS. When Fedora Core 1 was released, I tried it and I felt I had found "the" distro. Since beginning of 2007, I provide support on fedora-fr and I participate on various events like IP, etc... This year, I participated with few other members of fedora-fr to fundation of one users group : fedora | Paris. The issue of this group is essentially permit to the fedoristas of the region of Paris meet other fedoristas and diner, every two weeks. My plans to fedora project are : - Represent the region of Paris / Val de Marne - continue with active support to the new users - continue participating on fedora events like RMLL, FUDCon, IP, etc... - Promote fedora near potential users like student, ITs, etc...

Message-ID: <485F9F3F.7070909@redhat.com> Hi there! My name is Anton, and feel free to pronounce it however you feel, this kind of international enough name - Anthony/Tony/Tonda/WhatNot ... :) Formerly I'm from Vladivostok/Russian Federation, but at this moment living in Brno/Czech Republic while working at Red Hat. My first Linux was Caldera Linux, that was created by the former Caldera Systems, *doh*, SCO Group now... So that I'm living with Linux from the end of 1995. I used Linux everywhere I can at my previous jobs, you can find on LinkedIn. The most significant was the whole IT Infrastructure switch from M$ to Linux at the one of the biggest Rail-Road Logistic company, which was planned and implemented from the very beginning by me. At the moment I'm Kernel Team Lead in Brno, working at Red Hat, as a part of non-Lead duties I'm eliminating bugs in Linux Kernel. Busy enough by daily duties, but... I'm going to contribute into Fedoraproject my free/spare time. Will try to share my expertise in Linux with everybody who will need it, just feel free to ask me. And of course, I'm sharing all the statements of the Fedora Ambassadors! :) At least, I will be available at IRC: aarapov @ #fedora-kernel and #fedora-mktg.

Pardon the long email. === POINT #1: ALL THE ENTHUSIASM IN THE WORLD FAILS IF IT CAN NOT BE HARNESSED. This was the first thing I really, really learned in my tenure as Red Hat Community Guy. Pretty much everything I've done since has been to harness energy by providing focus. === POINT #2: WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF FEDORA WORK ITEMS SUITABLE FOR NEWBIES -- BUT WE WILL FIX THAT. This is an absolutely key problem to solve. The following scenario is one that we must avoid at all costs: Newbie: I just found out that I can work on a cool project for Fedora! I'm going to go to the Fedora site to learn more! (An hour of searching a poorly-maintained wiki follows) Newbie: This is really hard. I think I'll go play Freeciv instead! Note: MORE WIKI PAGES DO NOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. We've tried. There are abandoned "suggest your projects here" pages all over the Fedora wiki. We need a strong mechanism for collecting project information, and making it easy for potential contributors to find *exactly* those projects that suit them. Fortunately, I think that we are now tackling this challenge from a couple of different directions: a. Seneca College. Chris Tyler of Seneca College, who is copied on this email, is giving us a very tangible reason to solve this problem. Chris will be teaching about open source participation to his students in the upcoming year, and one of the first things that Chris needs from the Fedora community is precisely this kind of list of work items. Which means that Chris will be relentless in helping us figure this problem out. :) If you want to learn more about the Seneca project, please email him to learn more. b. Task Management Tools. Luke Macken, who is also copied on this email, is working on an interface for Fedora community members to contribute their ideas to the project. The best ideas can be voted up. It's a good start. These kinds of tools may also be able to correlate a newbie's skills with the skills required for various projects. One can imagine the following flow: * A proposal UI. Alex has a great idea -- "an interface to track cell phone numbers for all Fedora volunteers" -- and he goes to the "Fedora Proposals" UI. He enters an abstract of the project. He clicks the "Turbogears" box and the "Python" box under the "skills needed" part of the UI. * The voting UI. Every member can go to the list of proposals and vote them up or down, Digg-style. Bill sees on Fedora Planet that a new idea has been proposed for "tracking cell phone numbers". He likes the idea a lot -- not just because it's a good idea, but also because Alex took the time to explain it well. So he clicks on the link and votes the idea up. Note: this implies that the bad proposals, like "I think Fedora should use apt" with no good arguments why, will languish at the bottom of the list. * The project-finder UI. Clarice signs up with Fedora as a contributor. As part of the join form, she is asked for her skill set, and she checks "Python" and "Turbogears". Upon completion, she immediately sees a UI that says "hey, the following projects need exactly your expertise!" And at the top of the list is the "cell phone numbers" project, with contact information of potential mentors who can help her get started. This is not a complicated vision. It is a highly achievable vision. Luke Macken is already working on pieces of it, and if you have any web programming skills, you could probably help him on it, right now. === POINT #3: ONCE WE HAVE STRONG TASK MANAGEMENT TOOLS, WE CAN FUNNEL ALL KINDS OF NEW ENERGY INTO OUR PROCESS. Once the infrastructure of participation exists, the critical job changes, from *enabling* participation to *driving* participation. First, you SIMPLIFY. It should be *dead simple* for *any* newbie -- college student, college professor, bored professional, retiree -- to find useful work to do that helps his fellow man. Then, you AMPLIFY. When you trust your ability to manage community work, you shout from the rooftops, "HEY, WE NEED YOUR HELP!" If the projects that you drive people to are interesting, useful, and achievable, you will find that people will crawl out of the bushes to work on them. If college professors want to build their own curriculum around such a program, so much the better. === So. That's my take. Sorry for the long email. If you agree with this vision, please get in touch with Luke Macken to help make this vision into a reality. He's already got a great headstart. :) --g From chakraborty.dipanjan at gmail.com Mon Jun 23 16:16:55 2008 From: chakraborty.dipanjan at gmail.com (Dipanjan Chakraborty) Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:46:55 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: Student partnership program.

You could use this link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Presentations where the presentations are available. you could get some points there and some inputs there too. You could probably create a small presentation and send it across to the list so that people could review it and give you their expert review comments. And yes we need to decide on how to take the mentor programme forward. Sushmit: I guess we have got some good feedback and some questions also to be answered how about discussing all these in a meeting. Can we organize one so that we could discuss the second level there ? What do you say ? Cheers, Balaji 2008/6/23 Dipanjan Chakraborty : > I talked to the training cell in our college.

So, for FUDCon this year I gave a talk on the upcoming Python web framework, TurboGears2. As an example program, I started implementing a system similar to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com I see a lot of value in a system like this, as it drastically lowers the barrier for contribution. Instead of "Welcome $NEWCONTRIBUTOR, here are a dozen mailing lists and IRC channels that you should pay attention to, an gigantic wiki, and oh -- here is Bugzilla. Good luck!", Fedora needs to be able to delegate its own tasks to people, based on their skill set. So, as I see it, we've got some work to do: - Fedora needs to know it's contributors skill sets. These can most likely go into the Fedora Account System, as there is an arbitrary configuration column that we can easily throw anything into. So then, we need some sort of interface for people to input their skill sets. This can probably go into FAS as well. Ricky and Toshio (who are now CC'd) would be the guys to talk to about this. - Our tasks need to be categorized/tagged based on the skills required to complete them. With the digg-like idea sharing brainstorming app that I started writing, we can tag ideas with anything we like 'Python, documentation, web, etc' -- which we could easily funnel people to. Giving people new ideas to work on is great and all, but the problem with this is that we have infinite amounts of work living in our fedorahosted tracs and bugzilla. So maybe in the pkgdb we could store a list of the technologies associated with each package? - Fedora needs to delegate it's own tasks to people, based on skill set. Once we know what people can do, and what skills are required to get things done, it really shouldn't be too difficult to put a shiny web interface in front of this that can be used to show contributors a list of projects, ideas, bugs, mailing lists, irc channels, mentors, etc. > So. That's my take. Sorry for the long email. If you agree with this > vision, please get in touch with Luke Macken to help make this vision > into a reality. He's already got a great headstart. :) So I started writing this tool only a couple of days ago, but it has turned out to be pretty slick so far. It's 100% ajax (w/o the xml), has comet-based widgets that allow people to go to a single page and watch the ideas/questions/comments flow in *real time*. If you're interested in this project and/or TurboGears2, you can checkout my slides from FUDCon (there are a couple of screenshots of the app at the end): http://lewk.org/tg2.pdf Yes, the talk is about an advanced bleeding-edge technology. If you're interested in diving in and learning TurboGears, I recommend starting with my TurboGears1 talk from a couple of FUDCon's ago first: http://tg.lewk.org and then working your way up from there. So I'll go ahead and create a fedorahosted setup for this project, so interested parties can help out. Once the code is in good shape, we can create a publictest instance and deploy it. luke From lmacken at redhat.com Tue Jun 24 00:01:05 2008 From: lmacken at redhat.com (Luke Macken) Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:01:05 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] My vision on Fedora and student partnerships In-Reply-To: <20080623163305.GC6390@x300> References: <32852.VwBUX1dRCno=.1214236283.squirrel@webmail.no-log.org> <20080623163305.GC6390@x300> Message-ID: <20080624000105.GA20325@x300> (Resent, as I was not subscribed to this list until now) On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 05:51:23PM +0200, Mathieu Bridon wrote: > > * The voting UI.

Sure. I initially assumed that Brainstorm was just another piece of the proprietary ubuntu infrastructure stack. Seeing as how the code is public, if someone wants to step up and deploy and maintain it, I have no problem with that. I, however, will not touch PHP. Ever :) I'd also be happy to continue working on my prototype if we wish to take that route. It is not even close to the maturity of ubuntu's codebase, but it does fit in with the other dozen of TurboGears apps that we have in our infrastructure, and also blows brainstorm out of the water technology-wise (100% ajax, real-time comet-based widgets, *not* php, db-agnostic, etc). I also added support not just for submitting and voting on Ideas, but also asking/answering/voting on Questions as well. luke From lucas at cefetce.br Tue Jun 24 00:12:00 2008 From: lucas at cefetce.br (Lucas Saboya) Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:12:00 -0300 Subject: [Ambassadors] self introduction In-Reply-To: References: <78dbf1970806221847u1c07eaceg43d4ec745255aaeb@mail.gmail.com> <485F1931.6070707@gmail.com> Message-ID: wellcome ! :) 2008/6/23 Junior Tomazelli : > Welcome to the freedom side. > > > -- > This message has been scanned for viruses and > dangerous content by *MailScanner* , and is > believed to be clean. > > :::: CONTRIBUA COM O MEIO AMBIENTE.

URL: From mspevack at redhat.com Thu Jun 26 20:42:42 2008 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:42:42 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] FrOSCon budget and planning Message-ID: FAMSCo has set aside a budget of about 600 Euros for FrOSCon. Note that Max's travel costs and hotel to the event will *not* come out of this budget. This budget can be used for any costs associated with the show, including swag, and also for subsidizing travel & accomodations for Ambassadors. I have updated the FrOSCon page on the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/FrOSCon/FrOSCon2008 Here are some of the questions that I would like to ask on the list: 1) Who has the posters and booth decorations from LinuxTag? How can we get some of those things for FrOSCon? 2) Who would like to volunteer to get some stickers made? In particular, I would like to see a good quality production of Nicu's sticker kit, but I leave it up to the actual volunteer. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MarketingCollateral#Fedora_Stickers 3) We have two XOs in EMEA. Who has them? We need to get one to Robert Albrecht. 4) Max will work with local folks (probably Red Hat Germany) to get more Live CDs made, and also Tshirts. 5) We need someone to volunteer to look into accomodation options near the event. Probably someone who speaks German. :) --Max From jsimon at fedoraproject.org Thu Jun 26 21:00:23 2008 From: jsimon at fedoraproject.org (JoergSimon) Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:00:23 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] FrOSCon budget and planning In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <200806262300.29308.jsimon@fedoraproject.org> Am Donnerstag, 26.

Robert have one XO - another one is in Poland - another one is by JensK?hnel in Frankfurt - i think it is easy possible to send Jens?s XO to Robert if you need two at Froscon.

I updated the wiki a bit. We know where the posters are and how to get them. We need someone to bring them to FrOSCon, tho (after we sent them to that person). Robert Albrecht has a XO as far as we know. He's following this list, I'm sure he'll tell us if that's true or not soon-ish. For accomodation: According to the event's wiki[1] it'd be possible to stay at the university (where the event is taking place) over night. There's no price and no details yet. But I'm positive, that this would be the cheapest way to sleep there. I figure it won't be the most comfortable thing, too - but it's only for one night and the way from your bed to the booth couldn't be shorter. As for my attendance, I wouldn't like to see our budget spent in my travel costs. There's enough ambassadors who'll attent FrOSCon without me and you better spend the budget in give-aways :) Regards red [1] http://wiki.froscon.de/wiki/Main_Page Max Spevack wrote: > FAMSCo has set aside a budget of about 600 Euros for FrOSCon.

That page mentions, that there's no possibility to sleep at the event's university this year (the wiki still reflects the last year it seems). But they have a hotel where one night costs EUR 69 for a twin room (i.e. EUR ~35 per person). I think that's a great price. And it seems to get there from the university by public transports.

This introduction is about two weeks late, because I've been moving and only in the past few days have had ready access to a computer. At any rate, I'm a rising senior in high school at the NC School of Science and Math in Durham, North Carolina, USA. I've been using linux for the past 7 or so months, after a friend introduced me to it in the form of ubuntu. I used ubuntu for a while, and recently switched over to fedora, which is a great system. Over the summer I hope to join/create a linux user group in my community to help promote open source. Once school lets back in, I'll create a linux user group at my school for people to get together to talk and learn about linux/fedora and open source. Hopefully, I'll be hosting a fedora 10 install party as well, though most people at my school who use linux are ubuntu fanatics, so hosting a fedora 10 install party may be more of a challenge. Anyway, thats what I'm hoping to start with in terms of being a fedora ambassador to my community! want to know anything else, just ask. my irc nick is mcleanj, and I'm on irc most of the day. --John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please keep in mind the following: Whenever someone signs the Fedora CLA, they _MUST_ use their full legal name. Not just their first name, not initials, not part of their name. Obviously, I won't know if someone doesn't use their middle name (nor do we care if they do or not), but I will notice and reject anything like the following examples: John Doe (obviously fake) Mohammed (missing part of their name) J Johnson (first name not complete) Tim L. (not full name) Super Awesome (come on) bigjohnstevenson (please, use spaces) Try to remind new contributors to be sure to be complete here. If they somehow have a full name which meets my "reject" criteria, have them contact me directly. Their username can be whatever they want, but we do need their real name attached to the account for legal reasons. Also, we need a valid mailing address and a phone number. It is not sufficient to put "N/A", "Dont want to", or "123 Anywhere St", I will reject those. If someone legitimately doesn't have a mailing address or a telephone, feel free to contact me directly and we'll try to work something out.

The basic selection algorithm for choosing the order in which to return mirrors to clients remains the same: prefer same netblocks, internet2 in same country if on internet2, same country, same continent, then global, in that order. However, until now, faster mirrors (those with larger bandwidths) were returned with equal probability as slower mirrors. This means not enough traffic was being sent to our gigabit-connected mirrors, and too much traffic was being sent to our slower mirrors. Each mirror's bandwidth value is now used as a weight. Mirrors with larger bandwidth will have a a higher probability of being returned earlier in the mirrorlist selection. Slower mirrors can still be returned as the first mirrorlist selection because this is based on probabilities, but should not be overwhelmed anymore. For countries with fewer mirrors, such as India, where there's some relatively fast mirrors, and several relatively slower mirrors, this should mean that users will more often get directed to the faster mirrors.

It's an outdoor LAN Party with four themes: Open Source Software Embedded Systems Media Arts and Computers Computer Gaming You can find out more information for the event here: http://www.eth-0.nl/ You can see the wiki page I've put up to collaborate on here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/Eth0/Eth02008 There's the possibility for a free day pass for any speakers, and they are still looking for some. Otherwise, it should just be a fun event all around. Max has also stated that there is some money in the budget for the event, so if you have any ideas, or you are just plain interested, send me a mail on or off list. If you do plan on going, please let me know as soon as possible. Since there is not much time left, this will take a bit of coordination to pull of successfully. While we don't need to be as professional looking as we were at LinuxTag, this is still a camping trip, and I don't want to have to have any unfortunate emergencies because something was not planned for in time.
