The Fedora French community is a good example -- it is easiest to ship all the polo shirts for the French community to one Ambassador in France, and let him distribute them at local events. This saves a lot of money on cross-border shipping costs also. For this to work, it is necessary that you organize yourself a bit inside your country, to declare one Ambassador of each country as responsible. This Ambassador is in charge for collecting the money and shipping the Poloshirts inside his country and for providing the money and a shipping address to us. The Money Transfer will processed over the Fedora EMEA e.V.

Happily it wasn't that big amount so I was able to cover it by myself. And well, I find it as a good idea to create such a "general pattern" for distributing the poloshirts inside particular countries. But AFAIR there was a discussion on creating something like "local leaders" for every country some time ago... and my guess it'd be quite strongly connected with such a "local leader" role, couldn't it?

Hi Paul, Yeah I'm agree with you. I know DeveloperWiki Project is not only for "Linux (Fedora)", there are many areas that we going to address here. Anyway developerwiki is not the only site where people can find fedora aticles. And also "fedora wiki" also not the only place where we can find fedora articles. This is just another addition for* Fedora Wikis*. And also this site is very new to the internet, ( still its in development ). Most of our contributors are from Sri Lanka, so DeveloperWiki will be able to spread the word "Fedora" to the Sri Lankan community. > > > -- > Paul W.

I do not think it is the best way to spread Fedora in Sri Lanka. But, as Paul said you can join to the Fedora wiki. Get other friends in to Fedora wiki as well. ;-) And also we have a Fedora Sinhala l10n wiki as well. [1] There are many ways, such as Fedora l10n, Fedora media distribution [2] , writing articles [3] , workshops, etc. At the moment we have tried/trying all above possibilities. we have published an article in Silumina news paper (23rg page) on last year, 09th Dec 2007. :) [3] I appreciate your active life with Fedora. Btw, yesterday I was talking about FOSS in Kelaniya PS, Sri Lanka. I asked a question, "Do you know about GNU/Linux OS? every one said, NO then, once I started talking about distros' I said, Fedora, OpenSuse,, ..and Ubuntu. Then one guy said "Yes, I have a CD" :D The reason is Ubuntu free distribution, they do not know about GNU/Linux,etc but the brand "Ubuntu" Randika: this is the situation :) [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Teams/Sinhala [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia [3] http://bp2.blogger.com/_PK-lh2PQ0g8/SArDWAUaoaI/AAAAAAAAAUE/Na0gZebIXY8/s1600-h/danishka-silumina.jpg Danishka > > > > > -- > Paul W.

Currently, it is the nomination time for Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Election/2008Nominations You are welcome to nominate yourself, or to nominate someone else. However, if you nominate someone else, you should make sure that the person actually wants to be nominated, and that the person is willing to fill out the information on the page. If there are any questions, please post them to this thread. There is no "quota" on the various locations that FAMSCo membes should be from, though I think that having people from North America, Latin America, and Europe on FAMSCo this year has been a good thing, overall, and I hope that we have a diverse membership after the election as well. Nominations are open from 28 October through 3 December, 2008. The elections will take place 7 December through 20 December, 2008.

I don?t think we need more hierarchy then we have. Lead by example(your work) and you will be a leader without needing a permission from anyone. Every Ambassador who take action is a leader and should act in good partnership - but also have the opportunity to go his own way within the FedoraProject Rules.

I saw in the past year a lot of people working so hard to help the community and to spend their time organizing events around the world and contributing in the ambassadors community organization. Now it's time for everyone to think about the possibility to run for FAmSCo: I know it's not a simple job, but with the passion and with the right motivation everyone could be able to accomplish this duty. We are more than 550 ambassadors (and we are still counting), we come from all over the world and we represent the 5 Continents, with their differences, their values but, all together, with the same goal: spread Fedora and the Open Source everywhere. I hope to see all those Continents represented in the next FAmSCo but, firstly, I want to see all the people, who worked so hard during this year, writing their name in the nomination page (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Election/2008Nominations) and challenging for this important role.

Hello Max and everyone, I would like to nominate someone very special "JoergSimon". I met "JoergSimon" for the first time during LinuxTag Wiesbaden (as a Fedora booth member) three years ago. During that event, GeroldKassube and I encouraged him to join in as a Fedora Ambassador, which he joined. Even though years has passed, events organized, events participated, he still shares and holds that enthusiasm and his smile he had since the beginning. A FAMSCo member should listen and get things done. No one can deny that JoergSimon hasn't work hard to make things done. - Without him (and his car), several BIG events in Germany and Belgium would not be properly set up. His continuous effort to improve Fedora's booth image (events after events) and marketing quality, has made every Fedora European Ambassador proud. Proud to be unique and be part of this Fedora "Blue men" team, whether Europe or abroad. - He initiated the Fedora Polo shirt that many Fedora Ambassadors like to wear. - He played a key role in gathering Fedora European marketing contributors+ambassadors together. During the hard times to get people from different countries talk and discuss in a foreign language(english), he was there to encourage talks. - Though he didn't understand French, he assisted ThomasCanniot's presentation in French (during FOSDEM2007) to engage trust between Fedora community member. At the end of the presentation, many Fedora French contributors expressed their appreciation for his efforts during Fedora EMEA hard times. Getting things done, takes time, Time, TIME and patience, during the last months JoergSimon was actively contributing to keep and promote that Fedora Ambassador infrastructure we have constructed since years. (Please have a look at your email archives!) A very good Fedora ambassador is also someone who can find the right contributor for the right task. JoergSimon introduced the right contributor to the right task. One example is introducing ThibaultNorth to me to work on Fedora Electronic Lab.

Here are some photos[1] I took during the V Latinoware[2] - Free Software Latin-American Conference in Foz do Iguazu (Fos of Iguassu) conducted at the Itaipu Technological Park [4](PTI) aBrazilian government that encourages more use of FOSS in Brazil. IItaipu [3] is the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world sharing its production of energy with Paraguay and is a bi-national body This is the second largest event in Brazil after the FISL[5]. The event was a success and the Fedora Project had a strong focus with a lot of lectures and mini-courses toward advanced users and beginners in Linux. I would like to thank the ambassadors of Argentina and Colombia to attend and share lessons. I put some photos on the Flickr group Fedora Linux. Enjoy.

Yeah, I agree with all you said Chitlesh. Personally I want to underline the big help he gave to the actual FAmSCo, as Membership Administrator (and many of you know it): he is the first voice new ambassadors ear, not only, he is one of the most great collaborator I had during this year, he helped me and the whole FAmSCo taking critical actions, giving proposals and expressing opinions about our policies. I'm sure he is one of the people I want to see in the nomination page!

Frederic, are you around? Also, the FOSDEM organizers offered me a talk in the main track, which also means that my travel and hotel will be paid for by FOSDEM. It would be nice if we could know by January 1 who is going to attend FOSDEM, so that we can plan accordingly for budget, and hopefully help out with the hotel prices. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/FOSDEM/FOSDEM2009 --Max From fab at fedoraproject.org Sat Nov 8 14:48:57 2008 From: fab at fedoraproject.org (Fabian Affolter) Date: Sat, 08 Nov 2008 15:48:57 +0100 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAmSCo Meeting - IRC Log 2008-11-05 Message-ID: <4915A6D9.5030405@fedoraproject.org> HTML version of the log is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Meetings/2008-11-05 Raw log is here: Let's start Roll call please: Francesco Ugolini Max Spevack Andreas Rau mh... mmhh...... Just a minute Ok, just go ahead 1. Budget and Release Events status We have just seen the Max email +1 and I don't want to take your time for only me and andreas one question for you francesco should i send email to all the release party owners asking for their paypal information? spevack: i think for Q3 Release Events yes ok but as treasurer you better than me know if it's the right time i'll take care of it thanks! EOF spevack: you job it's really great we can't live without you, i'm sure of it :) :) well, we'll all have fun at FAD EMEA i am really looking forward to it. absolutely 2. FAmSCo elections First of all my thanks to spevack for his meaningfull email +1 your follow up was very nice also francesco +1 I think as FAmSCo, and i'll send an email to FAmSCo list soon, we have to work with people to make nomination process a great one ! trough Blog Posts, talking with ambassadors around us (see FAD EMEA ) AndreasR: should we go ahead sensible for the us-part... one week :) eof moving one hour after the meeting? ah ! AndreasR: ok Last but not least 3. Local status no what I try to say is maybe we should wait a little.. because of the +++word is missing - the election I asked LATAM to give us some updates on activities eof AndreasR: we have 3/4 weeks, but yes, that's right ! BTW, during the next week i'll try to contact APAC for more infos AndreasR: max that's more in your direction ... I don't know the us-part.. is this such a topic eof what's the problem? er, what's the question? I don't know but some of my friends over there are a little burned due to the us president election eof are you talking about US folks not being here today? I think after the FAMSCo election, it will give us a chance to make sure everyone comes every week since we'll have new people At the end: I just sent an email to ask for infos about LATAM, late this week or maybe the next one I'll contact APAC members to get information for EMEA and NA we are well updated by the meeting summaries and logs they send every meeting I hope to be able to make a summary of all the past year, collecting the goal we achived, the problem we solved, the problem we are facing and so on and I think it's important to underline the Local groups initiative I hope everyone in FAmSCo could work with me over it yes, happy to hel[p Just it all i think it's a wonderful idea during navigation who was in watch in the bridge has to give the next watching officer all the instrunctions and informations that could help him steering the ship. I just took the idea from this clear example I think, as I told you, there are still many missing points that require attention and I'm sure there will be in the next FAmSCo agenda. ? AndreasR: fugolini: i like the ship metaphor I don't know if I understand you right.. is the question.. what can we do to give this to the next steering members eof AndreasR: I just proposed to create a year FAmSCo report ahh, okay - thx with all information that could help the next FAmSCo. From my side that's all. fugolini: as always, thank you for your work. We talked about RE, Elections and Localization We were only 3 members, but quality ones :P :) if there isn't anything we can adjourn the meeting that's okay for me sounds good -- Fingerprint: 2F6C 930F D3C4 7E38 6AFA 4EB4 E23C D2DD 36A4 397F Fedora always leads and never follows.

This means having recognized leaders in each part of the world who are responsible for making sure that Ambassadors in that region get the resources that they need? (2) Are the regional IRC meetings useful for organizing events and getting things done? Does this model mean that FAmSCo is not needed for event organization?

Why? a) it's going to provide direction b) local people are better equip to respond to situations c) resources would be cheaper to mobilize d) it's going to spread the burden of managing our ~600 ambassadors worldwide > > (2) Are the regional IRC meetings useful for organizing events and getting > things done?

FAmSCo is still relevant on this model, because it will legitimize the whole thing.

As Francesco put it, "making your ambassador experience great" or something to that effect.

Here in India, (may be also in APAC and other regions too) I think we could do better if we can specifically target the student audience. They (well, most of them) are often _misguided_ and _discouraged_ to participate. Also they are generally cluless about where to start from. But they are willing to do something that they can show others. If we can provide them with some problems/works to start with, we can tap a lot of talents. Everyone we reach out to won't be contributors, still we can get a lot of new people into our project.

Regional Leadership? I do not really know! Is it not a part of accountability to have also regional leadership? I am not a supporter of hierarchy and bureaucracy but i love to see that leadership comes by the people who work hard. I think we can avoid a lot of power-splitting if we have Ambassadors who keep an eye of our common goal - Maybe we should call them "FAmSCo-Liason"? > (2) Are the regional IRC meetings useful for organizing events and > getting things done? yes - it works! > Does this model mean that FAmSCo is not needed for > event organization? FAmSCo is not needed for organizing - therefore we are a self-propelled community and if help is needed there should be mentors for that! FAmSCo is legislative and a instrument to give us the tools and the structure, do the boring part of work and should be a Hub where active Ambassadors should have a clue of the big picture. > (3) What do you think FAmSCo should focus on? * Establish real mentoring within regional requirements * Establish measurability for our Work * Establish liasons to other subprojects * Invent new ways to encourage people to contribute to the Fedora Project * Improve the MembershipProcess to make it easier and faster to contribute and work together with higher quality CU Jorg -- Joerg (kital) Simon jsimon at fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoergSimon http://kitall.blogspot.com Key Fingerprint: 3691 0989 2DCA 58A2 8D1F 2CAC C823 558E 5B5B 5688 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I personally like the regional accountability, though honestly I'd say in some regions it is still too early to tell. However EMEA and LATAM appear to have this model well deployed and at the very least it appears to work well there. > > (2) Are the regional IRC meetings useful for organizing events and getting > things done? Does this model mean that FAmSCo is not needed for event > organization? Two really diverse questions: 1. Regional meetings are useful - the one concern that arises with regional meetings is the regions reinventing the wheel unnecessarily. For instance, NA successfully duplicated EMEAs polo shirt design. My fear about regional only, is that such things don't get committed. That is one of the reasons I also tend to resist the move to regional mailing lists. 2. FAmSCo isn't needed for event organization. To my knowledge FAmSCo hasn't ever really provided this service that I can remember, except for perhaps in the very early beginning. > > (3) What do you think FAmSCo should focus on? FAmSCo should focus on the following in my opinion: 1. Developing and ensuring continuity of regional leadership. 2. Providing direction - setting guidelines for global Ambassador behavior [1] that isn't culturally intrusive 3. Coordinating cross-regional efforts, and facilitating communication between regional leadership. 4. Handling the 'big picture' perspective and setting the global goals as they change over time for what Ambassadors and FAmSCo itself should be doing. I think that some of this means a structural change in FAmSCo. I think that some seats on FAmSCo should be tied to regions. ie, have NA, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM FAmSCo seats, with the balance being at-large seats.

I don't think that FAmSCo should get into the nitty gritty of defining things like dress code at events, because that changes from region to region. That said, things like the page you set above are apparently oblivious to some Ambassadors. I don't know if that is a education issue or something else. but given some of the recent long threads that have occurred on the list, it is an issue, and something that FAmSCo would seem in the best place to handle as it seems to transcend regional boundaries.

We are working to provide the same tools we got in the Project to a local site, with local language. We have a lot Ambassadors that doesn't speak English very well, for they we can afford a local structure, and helpers who can translate e-mails, teach guidelines and etc. About Max's e-mail: (1) This is very important because for us just some users listen to Ambassadors list, get meetings and etc. A centralized point who distribute budget, information and help to get content is a very positive position. (2) For us this is not happening. In our region, IRC is not very popular and people like to work with e-mails and mailing lists. At least is working really good. (3) Creating guidelines for Ambassadors, swag, presentations materials, event materials... FAmSCo should focus on create a support material for Ambassadors to show Fedora to the main public. (4) We need more information about FAmSCo actions, decisions and stuff. I know that almost everything is showed in Fedora News, wiki and other places, but as I sad before, our Ambassadors need to bring this to our local group, in our local language to have all team knowing all actions.

Just like what we are into: OpenSource, it up to us to build upon these guidelines or bend the rules :-) Personally I think people judge us, the project from the image we project of ourselves and that is why they insist upon a dressing code and conduct. I saw an earlier post about ambassadors who don't understand or support Fedora's basic principles out of ignorance. I presume much emphasis is not being laid on this matter, people join fedora because they love the project, it has been of use to them and they wish to make a significant contribution, hence FAmSco need to play an important role on educating and supporting the embassadors first.

As you know we have enhanced the Membership Process in a way where we hope to increase quality. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-September/msg00359.html In my eyes we can make it more perfect, as example with more regional Mentors in some Areas and a time commitment from such Mentors. And if we really have meritocracy we need measurability - for both, Ambassadors and Mentors. David thanks for your clarification! And thanks Max for starting this thread - i am so happy to see a revived discussion with focus on the contents of our work!

We were discussing the future of Lindependence[1], an upstream event he has helped lead from idea through to two running instances. Larry joined us formally in Fedora Ambassadors around six months ago, and in that time he has: * Helped organize and run the Fedora booth at Linuxworld SF * Organized and ran Lindependence in Felton, CA and Beaverton (Portland), OR - Lindependence in Felton was several events over the course of the month, and Larry provided the Fedora presence at the two events that I was not able to attend. At the last one, I was there with the parts of the new Event Kit, while Larry kept a general open source table with Red Hat's 'Truth Happens' video. All that in addition to being a lead organizer for the entire event, which is a distro-agnostic that is an upstream, viral event. He is next working on the "How to run a Lindependence event" guide so anyone in small towns across the country can organize and run their own Lindependence Day. * Organized multiple installfests as part of Cabrillo College's GNU/Linux user group, maintaining the Fedora part when I could not be there. Larry was last year's CG/LUG President. * On his trip to Portland, OR for Lindependence, Larry stopped at Oregon State University (OSU) to talk with a graduate class and the campus LUG. In talking with the graduate students, he talked about getting involved in open source in general, using Fedora as an example. This approach works very well -- it's not about convincing people to join Fedora, but to join FLOSS, and that Fedora is one of the many things to do out there. Great evangelism! I first heard about Larry from a Red Hat colleague (thanks Tomen!) who met him at the MySQL conference earlier this year. Larry was tabling for Lindependence. Larry is a long-time journalist who discovered FLOSS more recently. In the spirit of Ambassadors around the world, Larry puts all of himself, his personal funds, and time in to his events. I'm fortunate to have this passionate and kind Ambassador living in my area to partner with on local events. It has gotten me out of my shell for the first time and in to the local community doing good FLOSS work. Thanks, Larry, and you certainly have my vote. - Karsten [1] http://www.lindependence.net/ -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We must acknowledge regional and cultural differences in dress and conduct. For example, in some parts of the world, going out for beer after an event with people is the cultural norm. In other parts, beer is not legal, so maybe a teahouse works. For dress, the most I would like to see is a code like this: "Remember that you represent Fedora and dress appropriately. You understand best what is right and wrong for your region." For example, if an Ambassador from San Francisco, CA showed up to an SF event with many tattoos, body piercings, and loud clothing ... well, that it is normal in the Bay Area for people to express themselves in such ways. To force that person to adopt a uniform appearance would _reduce_ their effectiveness. Across the US, if you show up to a tech conference in a suit and tie, you will be the unusual person. If you show up in t-shirt, shorts, and sandles on the West Coast, you will look like the rest of the crowd. East Coast might prefer a buttoned shirt and slacks. Etc. Thus, these are the sort of decisions that *must* be handled regionally. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I think with this model we can have a simplified "infrastructure" that could work faster and with results (better problem solving etc). Local leadership is a key element of all the process: I personally like that model if we are able to keep clear that there is only ONE Ambassadors Project and we are, all together, a community. > (2) Are the regional IRC meetings useful for organizing events and getting > things done? Does this model mean that FAmSCo is not needed for event > organization? IRC meetings are helpful: not only for the local organization but to report FAmSCo all the in formations about events and other critical topics. I think, in my personal view, FAmSCo importance grew a lot with localized meeting: it helps having a clear, unified and reliable infrastructure that could guarantee a better usage of resource and a better way to handle FAmSCo tasks (we can receive report and we can process them for FAmSCo usage). > (3) What do you think FAmSCo should focus on? FAmSCo has to remain the resource bridge. BTW, I think it's necessary to focus more on training organization to create and improve the way we interface with the outer-world. During the last months I saw a lot of interest in sponosorhip, I think Ambassadors, as the voice of the project, and FAmSCo, for a technical reason, should be able to work finding and routing new sponsors into the project. This will mean working on two way: 1) Find new users and promote Fedora 2) Find sponsors that could help the project spring the wings (and helping covering local events too). I think this is a really big question, it will require an entire mail to discuss about it, but mainly I think FAmSCo should work opening the Ambassadors' work horizon, trying to simplifying ambassadors life and working training ambassadors (something that every NPO or business do, it's not to teach someone something, but to steer better our work). > (4) How can FAmSCo do a better job of serving you or your region? First of all, continuing taking care of local ambassadors feedbacks. Secondly, trying to find a way to work, cooperatively, with local ambassadors (e.g. local contacts). What I have said it's a really brief answer to all those core topics. Thank you Max for these interesting questions.

In addition, it decentralizes the decision making and makes it more responsive to the needs of a given region, rather than having to wait for top-down authority. (2) Are the regional IRC meetings useful for organizing events and getting > things done? Does this model mean that FAmSCo is not needed for event > organization? +1 to the first question, -1 to the second. FAmSCo is needed for event organization and coordination -- especially coordination -- and IRC meetings are useful for getting things done and keeping everyone "on the same page," so to speak. As far as FAmSCo's role in event organization, I believe it is vital to coordinate events among those regions that are hosting or participating in events, as well as to serve as a > (3) What do you think FAmSCo should focus on? Forgive me if this is obvious, but FAmSCo should focus on making sure Ambassadors are well prepared and have what they need -- support, materials, guidance, instruction, etc. -- to properly represent Fedora. To my knowledge, this is something at which the committee already excels, and should continue doing. Personally, I lean toward guidance and instruction as a significant part of this equation, since I believe it serves us best in having articulate and prepared ambassadors representing Fedora. However, during my tenure as an ambassador, everyone I have met has been articulate and well-prepared in representing Fedora. > (4) How can FAmSCo do a better job of serving you or your region? FAmSCo does a good job in serving me/my region. But as the car commercials say, your mileage may vary. There are probably others who may not be as lucky as me, and for those who have been having problems -- if any -- those need to be rectified. Also, while my experience is somewhat limited, I have been impressed with how well ambassadors have worked together -- a facet of this group that needs to continue and grow. For example, we had a situation recently where the Event Box had to go to either Portland, Oregon, or Toronto, Ontario (I think), and one of the things that impressed me was the willingness of ambassadors to work together. We who requested the box for Portland yielded to the Toronto event, but the discussion was very cooperative in nature, and a wide variety of solutions were being offered by all involved.

I think however that FAMSCo should look more into finding new leaders in under developped / not known area so as to assure we have a global Ambassador Project and that we don't have people working hard on promoting Fedora alone, without FAMSCo help. > > (2) Are the regional IRC meetings useful for organizing events and > getting things done? Does this model mean that FAmSCo is not needed > for event organization? Local meetings are useful. But this does not mean FAMSCo is not need to event organization : why FAMSCo shouldn't take up the organization of an event when no local ambassador decides to do it ? Some big events are to be done and FAMSCo could be active in organizing when there is a lack of human resources in some areas. Moreover, FAMSCo should be active in giving advice in organizing events even if it is not something we did very much over the past year, but I think some people would appreciate to know FAMSCo is here to help them achieve the organization of their event. > > (3) What do you think FAmSCo should focus on? It should focus on joining the Ambassador Project as easy as possible. I see the Ambassador Project as a first way to start contributing inside the project, then it should serve as a showcase of transparency so as to give future contributors the will to join. FAMSCo should also strengthen its capacity to be a link between people and have them work together. FAMSCo should also look into undercovered area and launch call to local user to step into the Ambassador Project to be sure the voice of Fedora is spread in every global areas.

I know i will nominated more people then seats in FAmSCo, but there are many more, who deserves to become elected. I nomitate Clint Savage David Nalley Pascal Calarco Jeffrey Tadlock for FAmSCo, because, from my perspective, this are North Americas Ambassadors who have worked hard to give this region new drive, structure and unity. For his great performance as FAmSCo Vice-Chair, his perfect work on all our common events, his support in the Ambassador Administrator Team and many more i nominate Fabian and would be happy to see him as the new FAmSCo Chair. Francesco Crippa was a great help in the past year, he was constantly present where help was needed he sponsored a lot MarketingMaterial and a lot time from people at byte-code - so i nominate him as well! I know the Indian Team (112 Ambassadors) is thinking about "the right" Candidate ;) and i am sure it is one of the four candidates i have in my mind - this candidate will have all my support! I am sure i have forgotten someone important, Max and Red are both already listed and they will have my vote!

I would like nominate Susmit Shannigrahi for FAMSCo. I have had a small chat with Susmit on this and he's agreed to the idea (and thus would be filling out the information on the page). Susmit began his participation in The Fedora Project with a small but significant task - setting up, administering and maintaining a mirror for an university in the state of West Bengal. But he soon began taking active interest in Fedora Ambassador stuff including taking steps to organize IRC meetings. Susmit does a whole lot of other stuff as well - FreeMedia stuff, speaking/presentation stuff. He is methodical, he is passionate, he is patient and he believes in the Fedora ethos of Friends-Freedom-Features-First. ~sankarshan -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com Thu Nov 13 05:02:21 2008 From: thinklinux.ssh at gmail.com (susmit shannigrahi) Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:32:21 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAMSCo nominations In-Reply-To: <491BB2F0.5040400@gmail.com> References: <491BB2F0.5040400@gmail.com> Message-ID: > I would like nominate Susmit Shannigrahi for FAMSCo.

Thank you for everything that you do to support Fedora in Mexico. In terms of LATAM coordination, I highly encourage you to get in touch with Rodrigo in Brazil. The funds and budget that we have for Fedora in LATAM go through him, and I'm sure he will be more than happy to help you get resources.

But the discussion is now on about collating the APAC efforts ok. fedora in china has only a few ambassadors most of them are in Beijing, the biggest city and the central of China fine events? how frequent are they?

Message-ID: <76e72f800811160130k7d80f12ds92f4ad2451760edf@mail.gmail.com> Hi, As title, suppose an ambassador wants to do something, and he or she finds me, but I cannot tell because I don't know what he or she can do, how much time this guy can afford to contribute, how much money, etc. I can only tell them, do whatever you want, make yourself happy with Fedora. This helps, because I am doing the same thing, and I know one can find enjoyable things in a lot of activities. It does not help us to increase capacity and ability though. We don't have an idea of who "we" are, what "we" have, what "we" should or can do. We are some ambassadors, are setting up a website, we can enforce the working group members to work on the website, at least in the lifetime of this working group (3mo to January). How can FP or FAmSCo help us? How can we ask the other Chinese ambassadors to work with us? To ask or answer those questions, does it matter who we are? Well, if ambassadors is only about local events, then I am posting to a wrong list. Actually my problem is I do think there can be multiple online groups who represents Chinese users, and we are a small fraction of them. Can FP/FAmSCo allow this by treating different groups equally? Then I can request for help from FP, on behalf of my group, without worry that FP will ignore the others, or vice versa. I want to know the policy, even when I cannot prove anything to FP/FAmSCo (how can I say such a loose organization worth help?..) Finally, what is the suggested organization of ambassadors? Susmit mentioned coordinator which is new to me. What resource does a coordinator have, and how it works? How to you train your new ambassadors, or assign jobs, where can I find live samples, if not on this list?

First, I'll substitute "enforce" by "propose" in the "How do you enforce someone to work on something?" In your above paragraph, there are 3 important keywords: - you - the person who needs your assistance in order to participate at the Fedora Project. - Fedora Project. As a Fedora Ambassador, you represent Fedora Project and you are a member of the Fedora community. This is a very delicate and important task. Fedora's image depends on the ambassador's skills and behaviour. Also, - Fedora Ambassador works on what matters to Fedora's health and how to improve it ! To know Fedora's health, is to know how Fedora is doing. You should define your own goals first. Please take sometime, write at least 1 main personal goal that you want to contribute for fedora. Then, try to realise it. Knowing Fedora's health, you will know who is working where and what. Thus,perhaps you might be introduced to someone who could help you. - Fedora is greedy to include innovative technologies. Innovative technologies need man power. Innovative ideas come from people inside and outside fedora. Understanding the needs of the innovative ideas, will help you understand how to help the person who needs your assistance in order to participate at the Fedora Project. This person is a resource for Fedora. Tell him/her, that "Fedora is working on this and that, I believe you are a good candidate". Instead of asking the person where he/she wants to contribute, try to know more about the person, try to answer at least: - what are the person's skills ? electronics, speaker, medical ? - what are the recent/main troubles that the person have with software ? (can fedora satisfy that ? or how can fedora satisfy that ?, But knowing fedora's health, you will be able to assist the person) - can the person arrange a possible meeting that you can do a presentation about fedora at his company ? (with the person, you could now target more audience :), this is efficiency ) - ...... > We don't have an idea of > who "we" are, what "we" have, what "we" should or can do. We "are" = everyone who signed fedora's CLA_done. We "have" = Fedora's resources -> different subprojects of Fedora (marketing, electronics, translations,...). People working on those subprojects are Fedora's resources. We "should" = maintain fedora's health and objectives We "can" = everything that Fedora's resources can do. http://planet.fedoraproject.org gives you an overview of fedora's resources. > We are some ambassadors, are setting up a website, we can enforce the > working group members to work on the website, at least in the lifetime > of this working group (3mo to January). How can FP or FAmSCo help us? Personally, I don't like creating a fedora related work outside Fedora's infrastructure. Reasons: - there are already people busy working at fedora, why ask them work somewhere else ? - Materials will always be on Fedora's infrastructure, thus anyone can take over the job if AWOL. > How can we ask the other Chinese ambassadors to work with us? To ask > or answer those questions, does it matter who we are? If you have clear goals, it is an efficient way to have quick outcomes. > Well, if ambassadors is only about local events, then I am posting to > a wrong list. No, fedora ambassadors is _never only_ about local events. > Actually my problem is I do think there can be multiple online groups > who represents Chinese users, and we are a small fraction of them.

I want to know the policy, even > when I cannot prove anything to FP/FAmSCo (how can I say such a loose > organization worth help?..) I believe it is too early to ask this question. My personal strategy while working with other groups is : ""Hello, this is what I have done (...) , and this is what I now want to achieve (...). I believe if we can work together we are going together you can take advantage of what I have already done in the past."" Hence, I'll propose you to first define your own goal, make it happen. Then, try to expand it. > Finally, what is the suggested organization of ambassadors? Susmit > mentioned coordinator which is new to me. What resource does a > coordinator have, and how it works? How to you train your new > ambassadors, or assign jobs, where can I find live samples, if not on > this list? Status doesn't matter. Training new ambassadors, it like trying to think how you would like to train yourself when you join fedora ambassador's project ? Think about ways you wished your training should be.

This event is a bit particular as it was not really a ? Fedora event ? and we were not holding a booth or anything. However, given the relationship between the OLPC and Fedora projects, I thought it might be interesting to report on this event (if you don't think it is, don't read any further :). The event was held by the OLPC-France team. They first introduced the OLPC project and the XO laptop, and we all had a really interesting conversation about the values and ethics of the project, i.e. if it was not trying to impose a pedagogy model as well as an economic market. During lunch, I could discuss with a developer from DailyMotion. He told me that they had set up a special site for OLPC users: http://olpc.dailymotion.com. What is particularly interesting with this site is: - it's interface is simpler than the official DailyMotion one, to be more appropriate on a XO - there are also no commercial ads, to not waste the expensive bandwidth of the children - the provided content is focused on education - the videos are streamed in OGG, avoiding the need of the flash player. He told me they were actually working on improving this site, seeing how they could ease the uploading of content by the OLPC children. After that, five workshops were held simultaneously. The first one was organized by Daniel Drake (http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/) from Cambridge, it was a discovery of the Sugar interface, and how to build an XO activity in Python. They worked on a mind mapping activity. The second one was about pedagogic uses of the laptop, and how some concepts could be improved, for example the journal which received some critics from both teachers and children. The third one was held by Torello Quercy (http://tquerci.blogspot.com/) who came from Italia. It was about how to build a Sugar activity with Mono (Torello wrote the Mono bindings for Sugar, the source is here: http://code.google.com/p/sugar-sharp/). They did not build an actual activity, however, they produced a ? LabActivity ? (which is an evolved ? Hello World ?) and a documentation, which should be all that is needed to start writing actual activities with Mono. The fourth workshop was about translating Sugar. Most guests had never participated in FOSS translation, so they focused more on setting up the translator work environment, presenting the translation process and building a community of translators. I'm not sure they actually had the time to translate some module. Finally, the fifth workshop was about setting up a school server. However, it proved to be a rather difficult task as the OLPC set-up seems to be not flexible at all. We had a hard time modifying each and every XS configuration file / script and finally did not have the time to fully set up one. The conclusion was that OLPC-France would go on and share their experience on the OLPC wiki for helping others, as well as maybe provide patches for ? easifying ? things. This CodeCamp was also the occasion for me to actually meet the french OLPC community. They are trying to build strong contribution and are doing a great job in promoting the project (through conferences, TV interviews, contacts with Amazon.fr for this G1G1,...). As a conclusion, given that the Fedora and OLPC projects are strongly related, I do hope that Fedora-FR and OLPC-France can as well work together in a similar relationship. As a start, they accepted to come and give a conference on the OLPC project at our F10 Release Party in Paris. :) Regards, ---------- Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) French Fedora Ambassador ---------- "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks Ujjwol, for bringing this up - we work on better mentoring for new Ambassadors and your Input shows to me, that this is really needed! You are a Ambassador right from the Moment you are sponsored with all rights and responsibilities and if you do not harm to the Fedora Project there is no reason to kick someone out! We can help you to find your personal way of being an Ambassador. There are many possibilities - but it is your way of life who is the key and only you can decide how you will bring the Fedora Message to the world. A Ambassador who talks regularly once a week with a new potential Contributor within his area of life or university is as valuable as a Ambassador who can afford money for traveling around the world and explore new Fedora-Areas or has a lot of time to organize a large Event. There is only one rule, keep in touch with us over Ambassador List from Time to Time and follow our Code of Conduct nothing more! Read and explore the Welcome Message where you can find usefull informations, show up to the Regional IRC Meetings, contact the fellow Ambassadors in your Region and offer your help to them. Become a active Member of the Team! Tell us your Idea, your Vision! Explore the Fedora Wiki - to learn more about other Groups. Look around on IRC #fedora-mktg, #fedora-ambassadors. Enhance Fedora?s presence - hire more Contributors around you. Learn from the EventReports that expirienced Contributors should have on their WikiPage. From what i can read, you do great, with all your activities! And we are happy to have you on Board!

If you will send it to educational Institutions, your feedback would be great - if not - it would be great if you give us permission to use the tasks you collect, to get in touch and for hiring new contributors!

On the upside it has given me a bit of time to consider a response. I like the idea of mentoring in principle however in practice I fear that it will be difficult to achieve. I think to really preface this conversation that we have to define what an ambassador does. So when people ask me what it means to be an Ambassador, I tell them that Ambassadors are around to be liaisons between the community and the project. In some ways we try and show people the awesomeness that is Fedora, in others we try and build relationships with potential contributors, and even other projects. Ambassadors IMO are the face of the Fedora Project. The wiki page says this: Fedora Ambassadors are people like you and me, who go to places where other Linux users and potential converts gather and tell them about Fedora ? the project and the distribution. So from my perspective - there are things that I do as an Ambassador and things I also don't do, or at least don't try and put my focus there. For instance, I don't try to convert every person I meet into a Fedora user. I am happy to talk to them about the benefits of Fedora and the philosophy behind it. I do constantly look for people that I think are capable of being good contributors to the Fedora Project.. I have set my primary focus as an Ambassador to be the recruiting of new contributors. I think I am maginally capable in that respect. That isn't, nor should it be, the focus of every Ambassador. I am also trying to grow into the position of recruiting OSS projects to package for Fedora. I don't know if I am succeeding here or not - with just 3-4 projects that I have contact with thus far, and a lot of interest but no forward movement that may take some time to develop or even see if I can be successful with. That said I don't know how to teach any of the above. I've been sitting here trying to figure out what needs to be taught in order to be an Ambassador and here is the shortlist that I have come up with: *Understanding the Free Software movement in general. I think the following should be required reading/viewing for anyone: - Revolution OS (the Movie) - Free Software, Free Society (book by RMS - freely available as a download) - Cathedral and the Bazaar by ESR - Homesteading the Noosphere by ESR - probably a number of others that aren't coming to mind at the moment. Now I say that cautiously - I don't think that we ought to necessarily become RMS-ites or ESR-ites, but exposure to the ideas and being able to talk intelligently about them is useful. *Next I think it's necessary to understand how the Fedora Project works - that means knowing the org chart, but more than that the entire flow. I once worked in a job, where I was unavoidably the public face of the organization. I was expected to handle most things on my own and at my level, but I also had to know how and where to escalate, and even where to point people to in the event that it was 'above my paygrade'. To accomplish that I was essentially forced to spend multiple two week periods 'embedded' in the other groups. So in trying to train the Fedora Ambassador we'd 'assign' them to Documentation or Translation for two weeks, after which time they'd spend two weeks in Bug Triage - attending meetings (or at least reading the minutes) and perhaps even doing the work. If a person who acts as an Ambassador for Fedora can't describe for a potential contributor the process to get involved in Docs or Art or Packaging then I perceive that as a problem. I'd even argue that subscribing to the f-a-b list should be mandatory. Most of the policy questions you'll be asked (MP3, DVD, etc) have been clearly defined, but as an Ambassador you need to be in the loop with regards to what's going on in the organization. *Perhaps before any of that I think that people should understand the principles of the Fedora Project and why they are important. I can't tell you how disheartened I was to see discussions on the f-a-l advocating inclusion of proprietary, closed source kernel drivers in Fedora. If a person doesn't get the principles or doesn't agree with them the last thing they should be doing is being the face of Fedora. Now that said - the thing we don't want to do is unnecessarily raise the barrier to contribute. (Which I think can be avoided). That means that there needs to be a welcoming mentorship process. I'd argue that we leave the 'join' portion the way that it is - and keep the 6 month probation period (at least there used to be one before you could get money) What we follow that with is a list of what's involved and most of the work I envision from the above is placed on the new Ambassador. So let me step back a bit and say - With one or two exceptions I don't really try and recruit people to become Ambassadors. I know we as organization have done so. Ambassadors I think would be most ideally recruited from within. While I didn't do this, (I started in Ambassadors and marketing, and both were worse off for it :) ) I think that we'd have better Ambassadors for it if we did. There are people like ianweller who are heavily involved in a lot of aspects of Fedora and in my opinion would make a great Ambassador rather than $randomlinuxuser we pick up at a conference.

Ok, I think both Joerg and Chitlesh emails clearly answer all your questions. Just let me add/underline few things that I personally think must be taken in consideration when we talk about ambassadors and, generally, about volounteers. First of all: we can't force nobody to do something, both because we are a community made mainly by volunteers and because what someone does, in order to get results, has to be done with passion/personal motivation and, absolutely, with community support too. I see you are paying attention to the situation around you, I see moreover you are asking what FAmSCo could do for you. The answer is simple: help you; whenever you have doubt (like this one), FAmSCo and the whole Ambassadors community is here to see for a solution. FAmSCo, for the reason I told you above, can't force anyone doing something but it can follow ambassadors in their "ambassadorial" life, training them, supporting them and motivating people. I think you should continue working on the website, trying to create a contact between chinese users and Fedora community: you aren't alone, there is a big community formed by people with different point of views but with the same passion: Fedora and the community. Let the other people do what they want to do: if they follow Fedora spirit, I'm sure everything could be a new brick in the big wall we are building. Stay sure you are part of Fedora community and your work is taken in consideration. If you still have questions/doubts do not esitate to ask here.

I think my email is so vague because I am so confused on the Ambassador thing. But your lengthy emails have told me what you care most. Thank you again. Joerg's PDF is of great help, now I know some updated status about Ambassadors. And Chitlesh described how to help a new contributor, yes I need such guidance. Also Chitlesh proposed a very good idea that if we do not have another work group but rely on Infrastructure team, we can benefit a lot. Actually pfrields told me the same thing regarding copyright assignment (on docs list). The website we are constructing is targeting at Chinese speaking users, is it feasible to ask Infrastructure team to help a local activity? Technically, we don't have our own machine, but hosted various services (forum,news,wiki,etc.) on Bluehost, the maintainance is hard for them too. Another concern is here people tends to think CLA is over complicated, so we use public domain, FDL or CC, and CLA is not a must on the new website -- but I don't think FP will accept such a job if these contributors are not signing CLA. BTW, I wonder how India community got so many Ambassadors, not many people in China can pass the CLA step and they have complained a lot to me. Maybe they are too easy to get bored, too impatient, while the rules are rather complex. I think it will help if all steps are localized and accompanied with graph or magic wizards... As Francesco said, "moreover you are asking what FAmSCo could do for you". Now I wish to know how you organize ambassadors country-wise, or no such thing at all. Should individual ambassadors contact FAmSCo directly or not, or is there some one to represent his country? If there is, then this guy may enforce the others because this guy controls resource. I ask mainly because I want to know how Ambassador system work, partly because I do not want to report to such a person without a good reason.

Yes it is feasible to ask for help. But this depends on various issues. I happen to work with them, please let me know (on list) what do you need from infrastructure, and I shall take it to the team, You may also stop by #fedora-admin and ask yourself. :) > BTW, I wonder how India community got so many Ambassadors, not many > people in China can pass the CLA step and they have complained a lot > to me.

Just in case you haven't see this. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem In India, Ambassadors are mostly students or were students when they started contributing. Some have attended some events and loved it. Some came on their own, some was against any linux thing, but was forced to do their project work on that, and they fell in love :) So everything combined and with a constant effort to raise the community, this is how it happened. > As Francesco said, "moreover you are asking what FAmSCo could do for > you". Now I wish to know how you organize ambassadors country-wise, or > no such thing at all. Should individual ambassadors contact FAmSCo > directly or not, or is there some one to represent his country? No such thing, there is no single point of contact.

I believe we discussed licensing, and not copyright assignment. The difference may seem confusing but it's important. In the Fedora Project, we don't ask contributors to assign their copyright. They retain the copyright, but license their work in a way that allows us to maintain its freedom for everyone. I'm in favor of having localized portals and information for different nationalities. We should strive to provide those resources through the official Fedora Project. I don't mean having different sets of web applications that are run by different localized groups. Rather, we should be trying to provide translatable web sites, a translatable wiki, and so on that allows groups to use the already existing Infrastructure. Our Infrastructure group is extremely skilled and knowledgeable. But they are small, with a finite amount of resources. They can't possibly maintain a lot of separate sites for local activities. That's why it makes much more sense to use and improve our existing applications, like our web site, wiki, etc., in a way that makes them useful to all local groups. > Technically, we don't have our own machine, but hosted various > services (forum,news,wiki,etc.) on Bluehost, the maintainance is hard > for them too. Thus the points above -- other than forums, which are somewhat liberated by not having to be hosted in the Fedora Project, we are trying to move to a model where all of our resources can be localized. > Another concern is here people tends to think CLA is over complicated, > so we use public domain, FDL or CC, and CLA is not a must on the new > website -- but I don't think FP will accept such a job if these > contributors are not signing CLA. I'm sorry people think the CLA is over complicated -- it is a legal document, and agreement between contributors and Red Hat, that allows Fedora to keep your contributions free. I think, though, that you are mixing up legal concepts again here. Public domain, FDL, and CC are *licenses* -- ways for you to individually control the ways that people can reuse your creations. The CLA is not itself a license. It's an agreement that allows Red Hat and the Fedora Project to maintain the freedom of your contributions. Translating legal documents is a very challenging operation. To retain its validity, any translation of a legal document must generally be reviewed by attorneys in each language involved. This is an expensive and time-consuming process that Fedora simply can't afford. Therefore if you or anyone you know has questions about the CLA, you can always take them to fedora-legal-list and we'll explain whatever's unclear: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list > BTW, I wonder how India community got so many Ambassadors, not many > people in China can pass the CLA step and they have complained a lot > to me.

I'm not sure I understand this part. We've gone to great effort to make the CLA process very easy. Now you simply go to the web site, fill out your information, and read and agree to the CLA by clicking a button: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts Is that really a complex operation? It seems basically the same to me as the procedure you go through to use any web site or forum software. -- Paul W.

In my mind one does not 'force' or compel anyone to work on something. Especially when that something is The Fedora Project. I think we tend to hold on to the notion that the inherent robustness and the sound principles underlying the community architecture within Fedora make it possible for anyone to find something they excel in and they end up contributing. Sometimes it does take time, sometimes such contribution and participation happens in the flash of an eye, but it does happen. And, repeated instances of such events is what makes a vibrant community rich with shared experiences.

Asking fellow Ambassadors and contributors to find their own path in the project is one of the tasks of a mentor or a guide and in choosing to do so, you are doing a very noble and fulfilling task. > We are some ambassadors, are setting up a website, we can enforce the > working group members to work on the website, at least in the lifetime > of this working group (3mo to January).

It does make a difference as to what you do. It does reflect your desire to understand more of Fedora that you raise these queries. As to how other Chinese Ambassadors can work with you, it would be based on how much you interact with them or, how much value they see in joining hands and forming a team based on collaboration. Sometimes it takes time to get collaboration and then there are times when a single meeting seems to resolve crisis. You would have to find your own way. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From bbbush.yuan at gmail.com Mon Nov 17 12:47:35 2008 From: bbbush.yuan at gmail.com (Yuan Yijun) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 20:47:35 +0800 Subject: [Ambassadors] How do you enforce someone to work on something?

Some people here sign CLA and get a fedora account in order to request for a Fedora FreeMedia, sounds interesting right?... I totally agree your words about my mistake of mix legal things up. I was thinking that CLA is a kind of copy assignment, and is only useful for FP; and for a local group website, CLA is meaningless and overkill, an implicit license is enough (such as "register an account, you agree to use CC for all your works" etc.). Now it seems CLA is a legal process, a written confirmation of that. -- bbbush ^_^ From foxhaund at gmail.com Mon Nov 17 13:07:22 2008 From: foxhaund at gmail.com (Foxhaund) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:07:22 +0300 Subject: [Ambassadors] Introduction...

FAmSCo is an elected body by all the Ambassadors, like you and me. Every 2 releases we hold an election where all ambassadors could nominate themselves and run for it. See fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee 2. If you need resources in order to set up an event you should visit fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents. Actually event budget is managed by FAmSCo, you could try to contact your local contacts (if you are in APAC you should take in consideration to get in touch with susmit, sankarshan, kushal) and ask for support. BTW, I suggest when you have to do such things and you are unsure what's the best way to write an email here. 3. If you need help/support you may ask here, get in touch with local contacts or write FAmSCo trough famsco at fedoraproject.org We are an open community with open processes, and, like I said yesterday, we are all important bricks of Fedora stucture.

What I did is rally some people together and simply ask them to try fedora out use a live distro, and if you like it use it to the people I talk to work with and just try to start a small group of fedora users and grow and grow. Get a group to do a small install party I talked to other schools and other people. I find if you talk to at least one person a day you find they have questions. If you answer them they tell a friend and then another and so on. I say keep up the good work.

I am very interested in high-performance clusters. Fedora Ambassadors project is full of initiative and, I'm sure, you'll surely find the best one that can fit you. If you have time to spend organizing it, you could do a Install Fest in your city, you could see if there are Free and Open Source events around you and joining them as Fedora (maybe having a booth or/and a speech). I encourage you to get in contact with the Ambassadors around you and maybe start doing something all together. You have a lot of professional skills, you could, moreover, doing something in the packages/bugs report side. Just take a look at fedoraproject.org/wiki and browse Package Mantainers/ BugZappers pages. Those are just ideas. Tell me if you were in search of such answers.

(08:02:59 PM) inode0: let's begin (08:03:14 PM) inode0: item 1: famsco elections (08:03:41 PM) inode0: I would like to take a moment to thank all those ambassadors who have nominated others this year (08:04:04 PM) DemonJester: is iWolf running for re-election??? (08:04:04 PM) inode0: and to congratulate all those honored with nominations made on their behalf by their peers (08:04:33 PM) ***jds2001 here, always forgets :) (08:04:49 PM) inode0: and to encourage all who haven't decided to consider running (08:05:26 PM) ***inode0 hasn't heard a peep out of iWolf in a long time (08:05:30 PM) ***DemonJester has considered it but feels a little under qualified and not well known (08:05:52 PM) slasherzee: How do we vote is this election? IRC, email, etc. (08:06:07 PM) DemonJester: slasherzee: webpage (08:06:11 PM) herlo: here's who's running (08:06:12 PM) herlo: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Election/2008Nominations (08:06:14 PM) inode0: DemonJester: this is one of the reasons I so favor nominations - a lot of people feel what you just expressed (08:06:15 PM) herlo: so far (08:06:38 PM) ***lcafiero acts like he's doing schoolwork in the back of the classroom (08:06:48 PM) inode0: but would make great contributions (08:07:47 PM) herlo: so the argument against goes something like this: (08:08:35 PM) herlo: If I run for FAmSCo and make it, my time will be split between NA and FAmSCo. I feel I'm helping better here in NA right now. I might consider running next year... (08:08:53 PM) herlo: among other arguments... (08:09:41 PM) ***jds2001 somewhat considering running for the Board this time around as well, but that's sorta off topic. (08:09:45 PM) inode0: herlo: I understand that and don't disagree (08:09:54 PM) DemonJester: herlo: actually my argument would be for running, to better help NA through FAmSCO but that might just be me. (08:10:34 PM) herlo: DemonJester: we definitely need people on FAmSCo, I feel better suited here, however. (08:10:36 PM) jds2001: but I'm running for re-election in FESCo as well, if I were to somehow get both, i would spend all my time there and none actually doing :P (08:11:10 PM) herlo: jds2001: which one of those should we vote for you :) (08:11:14 PM) inode0: and I don't want to pressure anyone ... just thanks and a reminder we have until December 3rd to still dive in (08:11:16 PM) DemonJester: herlo: completely understood ;) (08:11:39 PM) jds2001: herlo: both :) (08:12:05 PM) herlo: jds2001: okay! just don't want you disappearing next time I need help packaging :) (08:12:15 PM) jds2001: i also really like the town-hall debates, getting back to topic of FamSCO (08:12:51 PM) ***DemonJester thats another drawback for my consideration^^^ (08:13:09 PM) inode0: item 2? (08:13:10 PM) jds2001: why is that a drawback? (08:13:17 PM) ***DemonJester if I were to run I am not available during any of those dates and time slots to participate in them (08:13:29 PM) herlo: DemonJester: here here (08:14:06 PM) DemonJester: wont look to good some guy nobody knows trying to run and cant even show up for the debate... (08:14:08 PM) inode0: wasn't aware they had been set (08:14:56 PM) lcafiero: Me neither, and I'm a nominee (08:15:13 PM) DemonJester: lcafiero: you cant make the debates either?? (08:15:21 PM) lcafiero: When are they? (08:15:29 PM) inode0: link please? (08:15:35 PM) lcafiero: link please? (08:15:37 PM) DemonJester: hold on a sec (08:16:02 PM) herlo: link please? (08:16:07 PM) herlo: :-D (08:16:12 PM) lcafiero: It's not on the nominee page (08:16:17 PM) herlo: nope (08:16:17 PM) DemonJester: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections (08:16:18 PM) inode0: if we know far enough in advance perhaps we can get an accommodation (08:16:25 PM) DemonJester: dec 4 through dec 6 (08:16:39 PM) DemonJester: I am out of town and unavailable that entire time :( (08:17:03 PM) inode0: oh, still that doesn't seem entirely set in stone (08:17:13 PM) lcafiero: That's a pretty wide range of time. (08:17:21 PM) lcafiero: Am I supposed to be debating for three days? (08:17:26 PM) lcafiero: I mean, I could . . . (08:17:41 PM) inode0: they aren't debates really guys (08:17:48 PM) lcafiero: Good point, inode0 (08:17:57 PM) lcafiero: I stand corrected. (08:18:18 PM) herlo: let's move forward... (08:18:24 PM) lcafiero: +1 (08:18:25 PM) inode0: yes, item 2 (08:18:33 PM) ***DemonJester apologizes for the rant (08:18:41 PM) herlo: hehe, nw (08:19:00 PM) inode0: I'd like to briefly encourage a little discussion about how we should proceed with FUDcon planning for next summer (08:19:12 PM) herlo: oh, that's what it's about (08:19:23 PM) herlo: I thought it was planning for this FUDCon and what sessions we could have or something (08:19:54 PM) inode0: We need to actually propose something fairly soon if we want alternate sites considered by Red Hat (08:20:21 PM) herlo: What are the proposed sites, let's put them up on the mailing list and get votes... (08:20:23 PM) DemonJester: what are our choices? or preferences (08:20:32 PM) ***jds2001 suggests NYC....they're opening a new hotel right down the street from my place :) (08:20:52 PM) inode0: This weekend I discussed co-locating FUDcon in South Carolina with SELF in June - they are very enthusiastic about helping us if we do (08:21:10 PM) jds2001: herlo suggest UT, DemonJester suggests Buffalo, and inode0 suggests Ames :) (08:21:19 PM) herlo: heh (08:21:39 PM) DemonJester: lol you would have a small window in buffalo unless you like snow! (08:21:44 PM) lcafiero: That would mean that I suggest Santa Cruz, California, but I withdraw (08:21:49 PM) ***herlo would only like to have a FUDCon *away* from the East Coast! (08:21:55 PM) inode0: Seriously we have heard suggestions of Indianapolis, Chicago, Clemson, Salt Lake City, Austin, and Dallas iirc (08:22:03 PM) herlo: inode0: that sounds right (08:22:07 PM) jds2001: problem is most folks are on the east coast (08:22:11 PM) jds2001: RHT folks, that is. (08:22:16 PM) DemonJester: Santa Cruz would be nice... (08:22:25 PM) herlo: jds2001: right, that's a problem, but stickster said we can suggest (08:22:29 PM) herlo: and give valid justification (08:22:38 PM) jds2001: and likely non-RHT folks as well, actually (08:22:42 PM) inode0: which is one of several reasons I'm currently attracted to Clemson ... it is close enough maybe (08:23:02 PM) DemonJester: what about Columbus, OH? (08:23:17 PM) ***herlo thinks Indy is better, but doesn't know how many contributors are nearby (08:23:19 PM) stickster: herlo: *and* possibly supplement that with some concrete ways to fund attendance of key people (08:23:25 PM) inode0: You know someone in Columbus volunteering? (08:23:39 PM) DemonJester: no just asking ;) (08:23:43 PM) ***stickster notes that https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF11/Budget shows some costs we absorb for some core folks just to come to Boston (08:23:53 PM) ***stickster & (08:24:07 PM) herlo: stickster: thus my point about justification :) but I digress (08:24:09 PM) inode0: At Clemson we likely can get University space and some travel help in the way of shuttles to the airport. (08:24:24 PM) ***ianweller hides for putting the budget overbudget... (08:26:10 PM) inode0: ok, so my real question wasn't to discuss locations tonight - it was to discuss how to proceed with this (08:26:49 PM) herlo: inode0: I wasn't asking for locations either, but that's a core part of the issue (08:26:58 PM) lcafiero: ? (08:27:06 PM) herlo: instead, I was saying we should put those up on a email and ask for votes (08:27:15 PM) inode0: ok (08:27:21 PM) lcafiero: question? (08:27:42 PM) inode0: but do we have people on the ground or are some of these still pie in the sky and a waste of time? (08:27:56 PM) herlo: lcafiero: just ask, we're not so formal here (08:28:02 PM) inode0: I know Clemson and Salt Lake City have human assets we can tap (08:28:13 PM) inode0: I don't really know about the others (08:28:28 PM) lcafiero: Ah. This is a summer FUDCon event, separate from the Boston event in Jan.? (08:28:53 PM) herlo: In Dallas, I know of one person who could hook us up with the college possibly (08:28:58 PM) herlo: lcafiero: yes (08:29:09 PM) inode0: which college? (08:29:14 PM) herlo: Indy has vwbusguy (08:29:20 PM) herlo: North Texas (08:29:26 PM) herlo: iirc stickster StillBob (08:30:15 PM) herlo: Chicago in June would be nice and we could even go out on Lake Michigan (08:30:16 PM) inode0: stickster: sorry for asking this again, it would be good for us to have proposals by December?! (08:30:52 PM) stickster: Yes, because there will need to be some sort of idea there how much money is needed to hold this kind of event. (08:31:06 PM) inode0: perfect, thanks (08:31:09 PM) stickster: And that needs to be figured into FY10 operating budgets if we want Red Hat to foot the bill (08:31:23 PM) inode0: wait (08:31:37 PM) inode0: I thought this was in Max's budget now (08:31:51 PM) stickster: If he doesn't cover all the engineers who need to come, I have to ;-) (08:32:19 PM) inode0: ok, December is good for me - we can have one month to see what we can get done (08:32:33 PM) stickster: Now, if the event you're contemplating involves no Red Hat engineers, that makes for an entirely different scenario (08:33:04 PM) inode0: no, we are thinking about the F12 FUDcon - Red Hat engineers who work on Fedora are a plus :) (08:34:52 PM) herlo: we have 3 weeks and a launch, I say email is the best solution (08:34:54 PM) inode0: My suggestion at this point is for people who care about this to latch onto one location and get to work, while we may have potential resources in various cities they need to step up right now to show they are serious (08:35:15 PM) slasherzee: Has anyone considered approaching a University student group? (08:35:33 PM) slasherzee: ach funded student group gets budget for several events each year, and (08:35:33 PM) slasherzee: all the other University perks, such as: free building use, adverts, etc. (08:35:37 PM) lcafiero: Shamless self-interest: I'd vote to have it somewhere off the US East Coast to make it easier for westerners to make it. (08:35:39 PM) inode0: slasherzee: certainly we are considering Universities as sites (08:36:16 PM) DemonJester: lcafiero: I think others share your desire.. Except us East Coasters ;) (08:36:47 PM) inode0: when I mentioned Clemson I meant the university was likely going to help us with resources there (08:36:50 PM) jds2001: exactly :) (08:37:04 PM) lcafiero: understood inode0 (08:37:10 PM) slasherzee: I am trying to tap into University of Oregon, lots of interest. But I'm sure you wouldn't want to come here. (08:37:20 PM) lcafiero: Oregon State? (08:37:29 PM) ***herlo complains at the number of FUDCon events held on the East coast (08:37:33 PM) inode0: slasherzee: we'd love to come there (08:37:42 PM) slasherzee: University of Oregon, in Eugene (08:37:47 PM) lcafiero: I was just there speaking for Fedora. (08:37:49 PM) inode0: slasherzee: but someone needs to get a lot of people from the East there too (08:38:27 PM) inode0: time to wrap this topic if we can for tonight (08:38:39 PM) lcafiero: +1 (08:38:42 PM) inode0: herlo: you want to run a quick opinion poll? (08:38:54 PM) herlo: inode0: not really, thought this was your baby (08:39:00 PM) inode0: alright (08:39:23 PM) ***herlo apologizes :( (08:39:35 PM) inode0: if it is my baby I'm going to work with the SELF board and try to get that arranged as a possible location (08:40:01 PM) inode0: and I will encourage others to work with folks in other locations as well (08:40:35 PM) herlo: k, moving on ?? (08:40:44 PM) inode0: but now I think we need to get a bit more focus on particulars (08:41:21 PM) inode0: alright, there is nothing from the task list scheduled to be reported on tonight (08:41:36 PM) herlo: I moved two of them to complete as well (08:41:40 PM) inode0: but we would be happy to hear reports on any task list items if anyone has anything to report (08:42:34 PM) inode0: if not we have about 15 minutes I think for open floor - or to revisit previous discussion I cut off earlier (08:42:36 PM) DemonJester: I contacted Rislam about the Montreal event and he said he needed time before answering. (08:43:02 PM) jds2001: is that the one that Matt pointed us to? (08:43:07 PM) DemonJester: yep (08:43:10 PM) ***inode0 apologizes for dropping that ball (08:43:26 PM) DemonJester: I got you covered my friend ;) (08:43:36 PM) inode0: thank you (08:45:24 PM) inode0: is there thinking or shall we wrap it up? (08:45:29 PM) herlo: inode0: I think *this* is the shortest meeting evar!! (08:45:40 PM) ***jds2001 is thinking about lots of things. (08:45:52 PM) jds2001: none of them applicable to this meeting, though :) (08:46:16 PM) slasherzee: Someone said, since we were over-budget, they? were going to use the (08:46:32 PM) inode0: we are over budget?

While many NA ambassadors are receiving encouragement to run many feel that either they haven't been involved long enough in the their roles as ambassadors, perhaps haven't contributed enough to the project yet, or feel that they are currently so busy working within the NA group trying to get it off the ground again that adding more commitments to their time might be a distraction from the work they are currently doing. The NA ambassadors have a presence on the FAmSCo ballot now and more ambassadors are currently considering (and being encouraged) to add their names to the list. The NA ambassadors would like to thank ambassadors from around the world who are encouraging us, not only to run for FAmSCo but also in all our other endeavors to make the ambassadors in NA a more effective group of contributors. * FUDcon (F12) Discussion Continuing discussion about the process to get some alternative sites considered for the F12 FUDcon next summer ... inode0 will continue working with the Southeast Linuxfest organizers to try to get at least one proposal on the table for colocating at that event in June. Others are still looking into several other locations and we are at the point where some serious groundwork needs to be done in order for any site to be considered. Any proposals need to be done by December. * Open Floor Brian Powell contacted someone in Montreal about having a Fedora event at a summer conference there - waiting to here back for more information now. The first run of F10 media was ordered for NA and should be available in December. Depending on scheduling and shipping these may or may not be available for later December release parties. I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.

I think, moreover, it's time to write something about these events in the planet (trough your blogs) and in Fedora Weekly News. BTW, I'm going to write something for Fedora Announce too, I don't know if it would be possible to take some space there, but I'm sure we will find a solution. So, I'm inviting events owners/attendees to let the world know about their events: this will be one of the crucial step of the release events organization. Tell me if I wasn't clear and if you have questions/suggestion for this task and for the general organization too.

Yes, i agree that a Ambassador should know and be able to describe what the other Groups are doing and which Persons can guide them as liason into the certain Groups. > I'd even argue that subscribing to > the f-a-b list should be mandatory. > Most of the policy questions > you'll be asked (MP3, DVD, etc) have been clearly defined, but as an > Ambassador you need to be in the loop with regards to what's going on > in the organization. You mean it should be imperative to subscribe the ML? - Is this the right interpretation? - Sorry my english sometimes leads me into misunderstandings. If yes - we share the same opinion. We have the imperative Rule to Subscribe the ML if someone want become sponsored for Ambassador Group. The ML is the only instrument where all Ambassadors can work together over all timezones, in my eyes it is imperative that Ambassadors are in the ML. You can not be a Packager without being in Koji and you can not be a BugReporter if you not have a Account in Bugzilla. Our ML is the most important tool to organize our Work. > *Perhaps before any of that I think that people should understand the > principles of the Fedora Project and why they are important.

Thanks, i am happy that you like the new Approval Process. With the Probation Period it is difficult, mostly People want to make a Event, Install Party or a Talk somewhere shortly after joining Ambassadors and can not wait. The Probation Period brings a lot confusion to Newbies. If they make a good concept for a Event or something else, where t-shirts, cd?s and maybe also little money for travelling is needed, why not help them? Before a Ambassador get?s money or something else, we consider the benefit for the Project anyhow. And if someone make harm to the Project, we will guide him the right way or if he will not comply we must remove him anyhow. I would cancel Probation Period. But i think i am alone with my opinion - i try to support them personaly with what i have. > So let me step back a bit and say - With one or two exceptions I don't > really try and recruit people to become Ambassadors.

Yes, the ideal candidate is already in another Group of Fedora before attending the Ambassador Group. I have started with attending the FUDCon2 in Karlsruhe 2005 and contribution as Booth Personal for Fedora on Linuxtag 2006 and then joined after invitation from Chitlesh and Gerold and choosed Chitlesh as my Mentor. A Packager has to show the Package to his Sponsor, to require a Work Probe for Ambassadors would raise the barrier to much in my eyes. But sometimes i feel sad about unactive Ambassadors - but this is another Discussion ;) Thanks for your precious, detailed answer! -- Joerg (kital) Simon jsimon at fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoergSimon http://kitall.blogspot.com Key Fingerprint: 3691 0989 2DCA 58A2 8D1F 2CAC C823 558E 5B5B 5688 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Don't you think we need a bit more discussion before changing such an important page? I have absolutely no issue with the change, but when things are done in a haste, they tend to go wrong. For example, in this new template 1. There is no option for updating one's photo. Why so? Isn't a picture important? 2. Contact information is repeated twice. What is the use of that? Can we please get the original one back and discuss over this new one? Once settled, we can move to the new template. Hope you understand.

Hi, Allow me to share a few general principles that I use when building community, and you can generalize them for your specific needs. First of all, don't try to build just a Fedora *Ambassador* community, but rather think about building the entire Fedora community in your area. That means people who are users, developers, ambassadors, or who serve in more than one role. The job of Ambassadors is key because they are the people who bring together the rest of the community face to face. Having personal meetings at events is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to not only build teamwork, but also to achieve results. An hour spent discussing something face to face is worth 2 or 3 days of time spent on an email thread. The best thing to do is reach out to all of the Fedora folks local to your community and first make sure that everyone is working towards the same goals, in the same place. Make sure your local conversations are taking place on one mailing list, or one one IRC channel, or on one wiki page. Keep a simple task list of the goals that the local team is working towards. Each task should have a short description, and also an "owner" who is the person responsible for the task. When you have your meetings, it gives you a chance for each person to give a small update, and for people to move around ownership of different tasks as needed. It is *critical* that you create a culture of sharing work, and not a culture of people being afraid to say "I am busy" or "someone else needs to do this". The Fedora communities that function best are ones in which people are willing to step in and help out a friend who doesn't have enough time to get something done. Especially when most Fedora contributors are volunteers, this is essential. Finally, as you begin to organize events in your region, FAmSCo can help you to get resources and budget. FAmSCo will allocate budget for events, and your main point of contact within Red Hat for getting budget in Asia is Harish Pillay. You'll want to make sure that you are familiar with the FedoraEvents page on the wiki, and also with the "event report" guidelines that are linked on the top of that page. That's just a little bit of advice. Feel free to ask more questions, and thanks for your efforts. --Max From herlo1 at gmail.com Tue Nov 18 12:35:13 2008 From: herlo1 at gmail.com (Clint Savage) Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 05:35:13 -0700 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAMNA Meeting @ 2008-11-18 9PM EST Message-ID: Clint Savage, this is a reminder for FAMNA Meeting 2008-11-18 9pm EST irc.freenode.net #fedora-meeting (map) Just a quick reminder that we'll be holding our weekly meeting in #fedora-meeting (irc.freenode.net) tonight at 9pm EDT (01:00 UTC) If you are interested in participating, or have something to contribute, feel free to add it to our agenda https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Meetings/2008-11-18 See you all there.

During our discussion at FAD EMEA about mentoring, this was the idea that I liked the best -- it gives things a personal touch that is important, and also allows us to train multiple Ambassadors at one time.

You can scale it! image= this_is_me.jpg|200px for example! my only problem with this round corner model is the compatibility to other browsers. IE (I don't care about IE) and webkit-browsers (we have no working webkit browser in Fedora) won't show round corners. I think our wiki should use browser-compatible code!

Those points are really well-done and, I'm sure, they could be an helpful hand to cover all the aspect behing F10. For Release Events Owners, I think you could use those points to make some slides for the people who will join your events. Maybe a volunteer could work on a general presentation to give a really big hands in the RE organization (maybe someone else could localizing it). Is there anyone?

I'm sure Artwork team has done a great job and it is really, continuously, helping Ambassadors with their artworks, see the past flyers, the ambassadors wall posters etc. Ok, I agree that there are legal aspects that must be guaranteed (this is what I'm studying everyday) both in the brand side and in the overall community quality side too, but F10 release is near to the door, we are 90% ready, and now we can't promote the events. It's like to give a car without the keys. It's possible to solve the problem before the release? or let's start them without the flyer?

Printing flyers takes some time, so if you want to be able to print / display them, you need to be ready much earlier. That's the same thing for the CD / DVD faces. We don't have them yet, it's starting to be too late for printing them when we press the CDs / DVDs. I'm not ranting about the Art team, they do a wonderful job that I could personally not do with my poor graphical skills. But we have to admit that for this release, the materials that need to be done are not ready. I'm sure the Art team is doing the best they can, but given the small period of time they have (6 monthes for a release, substract the time needed for choosing the Fedora theme, etc...) and the number they are, that seems plainly not feasible. Maybe it is time to start thinking about some more release-neutral designs for the release advertising. I'm thinking about: - liveUSB station (the current Solar design by Samuele is absolutely wonderful, but it took him some time to do it. Are we willing to spend so much time each release ? Are we willing to spend the same amount of money in order to print it for each release ?) - release posters / flyers - CD / DVD face (not the sleeves, only the art that is printed *on* the media) Those are my thoughts based on the organization of our next release party in Paris.

This is really a case where after it was reviewed and ideas for fixing it were pointed out, the contributor never made the requested changes. That's OK because we all have only so much time in the day to help where we can. But it probably should have been removed. If people want to use this poster, it's not a disaster by any means. I would recommend Ambassadors change the text to reflect something that's identical to the web site slogan, "Fire it Up," or whatever it's translated to in your locality. When we produce too many different slogans as in the case of this poster, it dulls our marketing and makes it less effective. I know that Ambassadors always try to work *with* and not *against* the Marketing group. It was important to me to show where one team might accidentally be undoing the work of another, while only having the best intentions. However, this is really quite a minor issue, and if people are set to use the poster in question, it is not forbidden by any means. There are no legal issues with using the poster/flyer as is, just marketing and design issues. > That's the same thing for the CD / DVD faces.

Has anyone actually asked the Art team about this as I suggested? There are more artists on board now than there were at the beginning of this release cycle. As time goes on, the work gets divided better. The Art team has become tremendously efficient, but I do know that we need to have fewer instances where one person is staying up until early morning hours repeatedly to get things done. One of the things Ambassadors excel at is in getting people in their neighborhoods involved in contributing to Fedora. I think that if people perceive the Artwork team to be overworked, we should be actively recruiting more artists to help with that team. > Maybe it is time to start thinking about some more release-neutral designs > for the release advertising.

I and our Local LUG in Makassar, Indonesia are now planning a 'distro party', supposed to be a multi release party (together with some other distros), but since there's a certain distro that is not releasing anything in near future, we (my local LUG) decided to call it a "distro party".

There's nothing on the west coast until Beaver BarCamp in Corvallis, Oregon, which I'd be glad to go to (would never miss a chance to go see the friends I made when I spoke at OSU in October). However, it might be more prudent if someone from Oregon could go -- it's about 80 miles from Portland, rather than 800 miles from Santa Cruz, California (where I'm at). I'll keep an eye on the list to see if any BarCamps pop up in the area.

Yes, you are right, I used Google Maps in my map (I know the service is not OS, but many APIs and other components are Apache licenced). My work was to create a KML map to be used with all KML compatible maps. I was in search of a open standard (precisely a OpenGIS approved standard) that everyone could use: from the new user to the experienced one. Hope I've cleared all the doubts about my choice.

Everyone should read it. --Max From mspevack at redhat.com Mon Nov 24 13:38:54 2008 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:38:54 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Ambassadors] Upcoming events and reimbursement guidelines Message-ID: Hi Ambassadors, I know we are getting close to the beginning of a new quarter, for events and swag budget. Several things are already in process -- Fedora 10 CDs in North America, for example, and some stickers that Ambassadors will be able to give out at events. In EMEA, we still have a bunch of tshirts that we made up earlier in the year, and budget for the upcoming events and Release Parties. In LATAM, Rodrigo continues to do a wonderful job coordinating the Fedora presence. India has its own budget for making Swag, and we have budget set aside to make sure that our Ambassadors throughout APAC get the support that they need. There are two important things that I need everyone to be aware of: (1) I want to remind folks about our Event Report guidelines and recommendations. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ReportingGuidelines (2) I need to start being more strict regarding reimbursements, because I have been running into some trouble with Red Hat finance when we do any transfers of money that are not PayPal. It is very hard (or sometimes impossible) for me to be reimbursed for these expenses, and while I'm happy to donate some of my own money to Fedora, you can imagine that as the go-between for the Fedora community and the Red Hat budget, I have to be very careful about making sure all my expense reports are ok, or else I'll get into trouble very quickly with my own personal finances. So, here are the reimbursement guidelines that need to be followed. (a) No matter where you are in the world, we need scans of receipts for the expenses that you have at the event. If we promise you a budget of $500 and you spend $500, but only have receipts for $400, then I end up in an awkward position where I either have to say NO to the last $100, or to reimburse it out of my own pocket. Please don't put me in that position. (b) We can reimburse anyone, anywhere in the world, with PayPal. This is our preferred method of doing things, by far. It is fast, and it causes no additional paperwork with Red Hat that can delay things. (c) In North America, if you cannot take PayPal, it is possible to be reimbursed with a personal check, but this will take a while. (d) In any countries using Euros, we try to do all our reimbursements either through PayPal or to route them through Fedora EMEA e.V. (e) In India, if you cannot take PayPal, reimbursement requests should go to Sankarshan, who is the manager of the subset of budget that we allocate to that region. (f) In APAC, if you cannot take PayPal, reimbursement requests should go to Harish, who is the manager of the subset of budget that we allocate to that region. (g) In LATAM, if you cannot take PayPal, reimbursement requests should go to Rodrigo, who is the manager of the subset of budget that we allocate to that region. Thanks for your attention and for all your hard work. If there are any questions, please post them to this thread. --Max From inode0 at gmail.com Mon Nov 24 14:41:48 2008 From: inode0 at gmail.com (inode0) Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 08:41:48 -0600 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAmNA Meeting Summary from 2008-11-19 Message-ID: * Announcements - Ambassadors are encouraged to attend Max Spevack's February class on Training & Tips for Fedora Ambassadors. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRC/Classroom Ambassadors are encouraged to tap into the wealth of community building knowledge that exists within the Fedora Project to better understand how successful community building is done. - Congratulations to our friend Matthew Szulik for his recent honor. http://webcast.ey.com/events/play.aspx?prog={08085a61-5b66-40cc-b560-79c8be27fc94}&options=2 - FAmSCO and other election nomination reminder: Dec. 3, 2008 is the deadline. Please continue to consider nominating someone you believe would be good for these positions and consider running yourself. * Tasks [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks] Short discussion of trying to be more diligent in adding tasks to our list and of monitoring their progress followed by an update on the status of current listed tasks. Clint Savage reported an interesting experiment he has been working on related to mapping out the terrain of the organization of the Fedora Project using vym. A sneak peak at this has been posted to his blog. F10 media for NA is in the pipeline to be produced as fast as possible in conjunction with the release of F10. Should be available in December. * Open Floor Q4 budget, swag, and miscellaneous topics briefly discussed. I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.

I am arranging three fedora release parties in Egypt, we didn't set yet date for them as 2 of them are on universities, it takes some time to determine a date(soon will be settled, and will be add on Fedora events); just routines and paperwork.

Please don't put me in that position. Well, in Egypt and most African countries 500$ is more than enough to host an event, specially here in Egypt as we seek for a place to host us for free( I am speaking based on my experience with the Egyptian GNU/Liunx activities), so the expense wouldn't reach 500$ anyway unless there is rent for a place, we may pay shipping tariff for the CDs and tshirst; it wouldn't also reach 500$. so reimbursement for 500$ or more is really generous, but it would be hard to claim. Having the smallest reimbursable amount as 500$ would make it hard for contributors/ambassadors. As 500$ is the average salary for junior sysadmin in Egypt. Is it possible to collect more than receipt and reimburse them once to more than ambassador(s) or for one ambassador for many events(,might be in different quarters)? so that anyone have paid something can claim it; without having problems. > (d) In any countries using Euros, we try to do all our reimbursements either > through PayPal or to route them through Fedora EMEA e.V. > Thanks for your attention and for all your hard work.

What about middle east countries? most of them use US dollars as the second currency and have no PayPal access, can we use the local currency/US dollars, and convert the values to Euors ? or you mean that reimbursement is allowed/possible for countries that uses Euros as their local currency? > > --Max > > -- > Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list > Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list > -- Diaa Radwan www.fossology.net From mspevack at redhat.com Mon Nov 24 16:34:32 2008 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:34:32 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Ambassadors] Upcoming events and reimbursement guidelines In-Reply-To: <182b9f450811240752t6e242308l89a19c854ac76619@mail.gmail.com> References: <182b9f450811240752t6e242308l89a19c854ac76619@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: On Mon, 24 Nov 2008, Diaa Radwan wrote: >> (a) No matter where you are in the world, we need scans of receipts >> for the expenses that you have at the event.

Now that Red Hat has an office in Dubai, we might have a much easier time dealing with Middle East currencies directly. This is something I will have to look into. In any event, we can simply figure out the USD equivalent of whatever the local currency is, so it isn't a big problem. --Max From diaa.radwan at gmail.com Mon Nov 24 16:54:19 2008 From: diaa.radwan at gmail.com (Diaa Radwan) Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:54:19 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Upcoming events and reimbursement guidelines In-Reply-To: References: <182b9f450811240752t6e242308l89a19c854ac76619@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <182b9f450811240854u59c4a2ebidc328ddecaadaed8@mail.gmail.com> On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 6:34 PM, Max Spevack wrote: > On Mon, 24 Nov 2008, Diaa Radwan wrote: > >>> (a) No matter where you are in the world, we need scans of receipts for >>> the expenses that you have at the event.

I'd like to propose each group have at least one, and if the group so wishes, two, such town halls. If two, schedule them at somewhat opposite times of day to allow greatest community participation in at least one. Schedule: non-overlapping, first-come-first-serve by the groups. I've put up a placeholder schedule for the Board town halls, subject to revision based on availability of the nominees. Committee chairs: please discuss with your nominees the best times they are available, and schedule on the wiki page [1] accordingly. Moderators: consider this a call for moderators. If you would like to moderate one or more sessions, please contact me directly. Moderators will take questions from the -public IRC channel, ask them in the -townhall channel, and try to keep the conversations on topic. I've set up two IRC rooms on FreeNode: #fedora-townhall - moderator and those running for election may speak, anyone else can read. #fedora-townhall-public - anyone can speak. Questions asked here may be presented by the moderator in #fedora-townhall. Comments?

This isn't only because of the importance that all regions be represented in the committee, but also because I know the work that Rodrigo has done for the project and I have myself experienced his commitment and support. I also know that there are other excellent ambassadors in the region working hard for our common purpose, but at this time it is my belief that Rodrigo being at famsco assures continuity to the project of consolidating Fedora in our region. Rodrigo is a young man with a lot of tasks and responsibilities but he always manages things up so he can attend them in an excellent manner. Mar?a in Venezuela, Diego in Colombia, Neville in Nicaragua, Juan in M?xico and many others in the region we had witnessed this effort very closely, so I invite you all to vote for Padula so the steps he has taken would lead to a successful achievement of the started activities. I recognize that all nominees are excellent persons in our team, this is why I won't mention everyone of them because it wouldn't be fair to skip one of them or to mention less merits that they deserve, but I will throw an exception and say that Larry Cafiero "the free software guy" is also a great option to represent us.

Well, I'm sure Rodrigo is doing a tremendous work, but seeing this kind of threads on this list is kind of disturbing me... I mean, shouldn't this list be about coordinating our efforts for promoting Fedora ? I didn't know this included electoral campaign. Opinions about candidates should be expressed through the FAS voting system or each one's personal blog IMHO, not by filling more an already high-traffic list. We are 619 approved Ambassadors, what's gonna happen if each one of us starts campaigning for his preferred candidate, commenting on others threads, etc. ? My problem is not about campaign per se, it's about the purpose of this list, and the fact that this thread seems totally out of it.

If we wan't to promote FOSS, we must use only FOSS and "reinvent the wheel" when no FOSS alternative exist. The Art team has set as a rule to use FOSS only for creating the Fedora artwork.

Yes we know about this. Since a few days i introduce new Ambassadors from asia to susmit, kushal or rahul as their mentors. As i have pointed out at FAD2008, only 20% of all Applicants do the imperative Steps to become sponsored. But this 20% do the steps mostly within the next 48 hours. We changed the "Instruction-Email" recently, with a note to the Wiki Template. Today i have added - "valid contact information" as a requirement for the Wikipage. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService#Membership_Check_.28Draft.29 I think the new Approval Process evolves fine, but to struggle with to much formalism can discourage some potential contributors. The Ambassador-Membership-Administration Team definetly work on a a good balance between information-overhead, quality, simplicity, bureaucracy and mentoring to encourage motivated new contributors and to avoid that we work to much with ourselves instead of spreading the word. Thanks Christoph for this valuable proposal.

We are listing out ambassadors who does not have homepage and/or who does not have complete information and are personally contacting them. But this number is huge and we need a bit time to get this organised. Another thing that is delaying the process is that most of these ambassadors are students and having their semester examination right now. Many of them has written to me that they are going to take care of their pages after the exams. So I am expecting a improvement after mid december.

Divided by EMEA, APAC, NA and LATAM we have already - or try to establish - regional leadership. In some Countries or Areas we have local Teams with special local requirements like the French, Indian or the South American Teams. The Chinese Community has grown much in the last month and i want to ask you Charles, is there a chance that you can help us by building a structured local Community in China? Another important requirement we have, is that you may help out, as a mentor for new Contributors from China? You know by yourself how many Informations you have to consider after joining the Project and how important it is to point people in the right direction or introduce them to the right people. You will get all our support and i have the promise from Paul that you will get the support from the Project Lead also. Huang, as you could read we try to improve the structure and quality of the Fedora Presence in China. You are a Chinese Ambassador and you are located in Jena, Germany - this is not far away from my hometown Gera. I want invite you, to work with us as the EMEA liason to the Chinese Community. You are welcome to the Chemnitzer Linuxtage 2009 [1], which is near to your place, where we can meet face to face for a talk where you can show us the Chinese requirements and how we can help China and vice versa. Tell me what you think about this. Hope to see you soon.

Fedora 10's out, thanks for your hard work. I am new to Fedora and Linux, I started using Fedora system from Fedora 9, it means I only use fedora for half an year. Fedora 9 is my first time to try Linux in the real sense. Fedora 9 is such an excellent linux distro that I like it so much, that's why I joined in as a Fedora Ambassador, what I wanted to do this at that time was just to prompt Fedora in China Mainland. Thanks Bbbush (Yuan Yijun), with his leadership and help, we finally established our own fedora-cn Forum, I participated, actually, the forum is currently hosted in my Bluehost account, but, I did only a little. Although I really like Fedora, and want to introduce it to others, and did something to reach this goal, but it's ineffective (only little). I'm new to Fedora (and I didn't major in computer, Linux or IT), how and what do you think I can do to help build a Chinese fedora community? I will do what I can do to help prompt Fedora in China. If you have any suggestions, please kindly tell me, Fedora 10 brings us a lot of latest Linux features, how can I introduce them to have a try, except introducing it in my own blog? Sorry, Joerg, it's neally 00:00 our time, so maybe I will be late to reply you, it's as eariliest as 8 hours later...

None of the options below are choices for now but learning how you would prefer FADNA to be organized would be helpful to those involved in planning future events. If we were to organize the next FADNA to be held in conjunction with the Southeast Linuxfest (http://southeastlinuxfest.org/) in June 2009 would you be interested in attending? Would you prefer a half-day event on Sunday morning following SELF or something longer? Would Friday events be something you would also be able to attend? If FADNA were occasionally attached to a FUDcon event, either running as part of the main event or by extending it a day for FADNA, would that appeal to you? Would that help you get to a FUDcon by adding value to the event for you? Would an occasional 2 or 3 day long standalone FADNA event be appealing to you? One long weekend devoted entirely to FADNA?

Nevertheless even the old homepage template had an email field and even so people did not use it. So it's obviously something that needs to be checked by the membership administration team.

Actually it wasn't a proposal and I doubt it was that valuable ;) As I told you when we sat together for lunch at FAD I recently had problems contacting one of our ambassadors, so now I take this issue more seriously.

One main reasons to ask you, was the very good visibility of your contributions to the rest of the world and your good communication with us all. I was chatting with Paul today about local leadership and he mentioned your name as a potential mentor. As you can see on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:AmbassadorsChina your team has a visible headcount. We want to help the chinese community to put you all in the position to gain bigger influence in your Country. In my opinion, a way to start is, be a mentor for new Contributors, you can guide them from the beginning, into the relations of the fedora Project, tell them the goals of fedora and the chinese fedora community, help them with the wiki, help them to find their ways in contributing to fedora etc. Me for myself i will send Chinese Contributors to you - or to someone you suggest, who can/will do this job in your Region. Another part is team building - know who is the right person to do the job. Gather you local fellows for an irc meeting. Set a Agenda with several goals - only a few examples: - important event(s), where more then one contributor should be present (organize "big" participation of Fedora at least one main event) - localized chinese SPINS (we can help you) - localization Marathons - talks at universities - producing low cost SWAG within your region - (i will help in organizing the money) - organizing a Fedora Acitivity Day (FAD) or to avoid travelling a virtual FAD - how mentoring for new chinese Contributors can be done - last but not a least - how can you spread fedora to become more User Base -> Contributor Base ... Do you think this can be a start?

Thanks Yuan for helping us out. I see, you have read my thoughts and yes Max explained our intention to help very detailed, it was good to read that. Maybe you can pick up some points from my suggestions also as a start. Charles has already pointed out, that you are one of the informal Leaders in your Region - is it ok, if i send new chinese Contributors to you and CharlesPeng as potential Mentors?

Hi all, For those who don't know him already, Harish Pillay is something of a counterpart to Max Spevack for the APAC region. At last report he is not assigned 100% to community architecture duties, but a significant portion of his time is spent on them. (If that's changed Harish, my apologies and please correct me!) Harish is very much interested in helping cultivate and grow the APAC community, including China, Japan, Micronesia, and elsewhere throughout the region. He participates weekly in the Community Architecture meetings and is a vital part of the team. APAC is a big place, so the more that the local teams can give a sense of their community size and energy, the easier it gets to figure them into our planning. I'm sure that some of our contributors there, like Yuan and Charles, can help make these sorts of estimates. -- Paul W.

If that possible to have 150-200 CD for the three events, it would be great. One of the events will be held in Helwan University which I have gave Fedora day before 9 release. so I expect more attendees this time.

In the United States, the folks handling the media production for North America got 3000 CDs for only about $150 more than what you are being quoted, so it does not seem like a very good price to me. --Max From larry.cafiero at gmail.com Wed Nov 26 20:07:44 2008 From: larry.cafiero at gmail.com (Larry Cafiero) Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:07:44 -0800 Subject: [Ambassadors] Thoughts on future FADNA gatherings In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <7a0d56080811261207n8dff85fs7931e3cf4694a04e@mail.gmail.com> Hi, John -- While I would like to attend FADNA at SELF, it is unlikely I will thanks to geographic limitations. The fastest Amtrak goes from sea-to-shining-sea is 52 hours; no, I don't fly, with or without the help of aircraft. I tend to be split on the issue of "how" -- having it in conjunction with another event (like SELF or OLF) could create exposure for Fedora and may be a good segue in introducing (new) folks at these events to Fedora. That would be my first choice, I think. On the other hand, I think having a FADNA independent of a fest or FUDcon would also lend more importance to the event for ambassadors who might want their own "fest." One of the overall considerations I'd ask everyone to think about is geography. I don't have numbers of where everyone is, and I know there has been discussion about location on the IRC channel and in the NA ambassadors' meetings, but if we could either find locations that are more friendly to those of us in the West -- or, in the alternative, if FADNAs go back and forth from East to West every year -- that would more than likely allow me to attend (at least those closer to me). Thanks.

APAC stretches about 7 time zones, and goes from Mongolia up north to New Zealand down south. I would like to see how best we can characterize the region with sub regions so that we can better focus and support the Ambassadors. If you allow me to group the region into manageable portions such as: 1. North Asia - China (including Macau, HK, Taiwan), Japan, Korea and Mongolia 2. South Asia - Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal 3. South East Asia - the 10 countries of ASEAN: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Burma, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia 4. ANZ - including Timor Leste, Papau New Guniea and the islands of the South Pacific Did I miss out anyone? I know Iran and Afghanistan are not mentioned above and they are Asian countries and would certainly want to reach out to them as well. Left out are the countries in central Asia - if you are on this list, please call out. I would like to help build and strengthen in each of the 4 regions the Ambassador community. I will take some time to detail some ideas on the wiki. BTW, I am Singaporean and live in Singapore and work at the Red Hat APAC HQ in Singapore. Comments and suggestions welcome as always. -- Harish Pillay h.pillay at ieee.org gpg id: 746809E3 fingerprint: F7F5 5CCD 25B9 FC25 303E 3DA2 0F80 27DB 7468 09E3 From matiasmaceira at gmail.com Thu Nov 27 02:09:01 2008 From: matiasmaceira at gmail.com (matias maceira) Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 23:09:01 -0300 Subject: [Ambassadors] Nuevo grupo de usuarios de Fedora en Argentina Message-ID: <933cb3780811261809u59483ed2jfe3b5fcba5bb5352@mail.gmail.com> Tengo el placer de anunciarles que inaugur? un grupo de usuarios de Fedora en la Pcia de Cordoba en Argentina.

Yes, if Eugene can be on it, that would be great. I assume the chat is in English? I am not sure if I can make it to the chat on Friday - I will try nonetheless.

Till last week I was using GNOME so I tried KDE and now I am enjoying it. But I think it completely depends on the user. I am mainly dealing with Java programming and Using NetBeans for it.

Whoops!Would help if I explain more thoroughly. It's an Anime Convention in Idaho. A part of Anime Oasis (another convention). It's basically a gathering of people who are rather into Manga (japanese comics), Anime (japanese cartoons), and things like that. I am there as a Dealer for Outpost 12, where I have usually the latest Fedora DVDs available for people to purchase for $4. However, sense we are at the convention, I am giving them away. So I guess what I'm looking at is, more of a "do you really know what your talking about?" or some Linux Trivia. Of course anything Fedora Project related or Linux community related is awesome too.

As the event owner for SCaLE and have constantly been in discussions about this issue, I will happily speak to this issue. In my opinion, holding FAD NA with another event will diminish the benefits of the FAD. I don't care if it's FUDCon in Boston or SCaLE in Los Angeles, the problem still remains. There isn't enough time to have both an convention and the Fedora Ambassador Day at the same time. There are several reasons for this, but let me lay out a few of the stumbling blocks here so we can all discuss this directly. Holding a FAD along with an event isn't inherently a bad idea. However, because most folks going to SCaLE or FUDCon are there to focus on those events and not a FAD, the FAD will be reduced in time. While I enjoyed the first FADNA, I think it should be longer, probably closer to 8 hours with fun events surrounding a weekend. Holding a FAD on its own also comes with struggles. The main point that has been argued is that the cost rises for Ambassadors who wish to attend both events. This is completely true. For me, the decision between a SCaLE and a FAD would be very difficult indeed, but I think the consensus has been to recommend the convention over the FAD event. There are other arguments for and against holding a FAD with a convention and I can see the value in both. I find that the biggest problem is that it's hard to have everyone agree on something like this. I suggest alternating FADs between being along side an event and then being a standalone event, maybe that will accommodate everyone's desires. I also suggest that we have two FADs a year, something like March & September. This would possibly accommodate a FAD attached to either SCaLE (spring) or Ohio Linux Fest (Fall). There is much more I could say and have said in IRC. I think this pretty much sums that up, so I ask, what do you all think?

Yes, but there is also the side effect that we simply have so much more potential en masse at an event. Yes, it's not as effective of a FAD, because the hours at the con are so exhausting. That said, using OLF as the example, we were incredibly effective - I am still getting emails from people a month and a half after the conference. The ROI for OLF was incredible in my mind because there were so many of us there. However I think we are really missing the point of what FAD is about, though it is something that you (Clint) pointed out. at FAD. The biggest benefit in my mind wasn't the 1/2 day 'strategizing' we did after OLF, rather it was the in person building relationships and espirit de corps building' (I hate that phrase). The contents of the FADNA meeting was ok, but we could have done the same during several IRC meetings. Honestly I felt OLF, dinner, and the late night hackfest were the most profitable 'FADNA' moments. Making a FADNA at an event also allows for us to do some OJT mentoring. > > Holding a FAD on its own also comes with struggles.

It looks like the most recent FAD in EMEA had around 3500 available. Looking at this from a per person budget there was around 5x the amount per person at FAD EMEA. Note to FAmSCo members: This is NOT a complaint. FADNA suffered from a number of problems including our lateness in getting the event scheduled (after budget deadline even) We (or at least I) am thrilled that we had any budget at all. > There are other arguments for and against holding a FAD with a > convention and I can see the value in both.

Jeffrey Tadlock really started and ran with FUDCon - and then when things at OLF really picked up he started delegating. All of this discussion is really sematics unless we have competing 'owners' for the next FADNA.

By having FAD along side events, this eases the burden a bit if I already plan on attending that event to begin with. If FAD is held on it's own then I am more than likely left with the choice of either skipping an event I was planning on attending so I can go to FAD or vice versa. To be quite honest I am trying to stick to the East Coast events as much as possible this coming year due to a variety of reasons, but the biggest being lack of funds for travel and other expenses to be able to come to the West Coast. I realize the same may be true for those on the West Coast as well. So the suggestion I have is you cover both. Have 2 FAD's a year, one on the West Coast and one on the East Coast and simply stream and conference call the meeting like we did at OLF. That way those that can not attend one or the other can still participate without physically attending. -- Regards, BrianPowell http://fedoraproject.org http://wnylug.org From ujjwol at fedoraproject.org Sat Nov 29 07:49:21 2008 From: ujjwol at fedoraproject.org (Ujjwol Lamichhane) Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 13:34:21 +0545 Subject: [Ambassadors] Release Party in Nepal today In-Reply-To: <1227902909.21176.33.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1227902909.21176.33.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <775aa32d0811282349u61549450nb88883e3cae20b06@mail.gmail.com> Ya it's gonna be great.... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In this instance, that date would be December 25. At today's FESCo meeting [1], it was decided to slightly deviate from this policy. This decision was made in order to avoid having it happen over the holidays, since according to policy, EOL would have been on Christmas Day. It was therefore decided to extend the end-of-life date of Fedora 8 to Jan 7, 2009. After this time, there will be no more updates, including security updates, issued for Fedora 8, and new builds will no longer be allowed in koji, our buildsystem. Also at or shortly after that time, all bugs open against Fedora 8 will be closed, since no more updates will be made.

I really appreciate the nomination but I will not re-run for FAmSCo this time. So far I count 10 nominations for FAmSCo for the next period. I'm glad to see that. There are several people from EMEA and I think that there is no need for another from this region. The reasons why I did not nominate myself are versatile. My final year at the university has started some weeks ago. Next year I will have two larger projects as a preparation for the bachelor thesis and the diploma thesis itself. It will become harder for me to participate regularly at meeting because there is either a conflict with my day job or my lessons. The time is my largest problem. Fixed hours are non practical for me. So I will focus on stuff inside the Fedora Project which is time independent. Personally I would like to see new faces in FAmSCo with new energy and targets. A mixture of guys from the 'old' guard and newbies would be a very good way to go for FAmSCo in 2009.

Separate meetings per region, only monthly meeting in EMEA, and so... After a year I think this was good decision. Especially for North America ;-) Some of you can remember that I was the meeting leader for the Ambassadors Meeting for EMEA during the last year. My schedule has changed and now I'm looking for a successor. Your duty will be to lead the meeting, sending for a reminder in front of the meeting, make a wiki page, keep the log, and if possible to send a summary to the mailing list. That's all ;-) If you want the job, add your name to the Ambassadors meeting page [1] and lead your first meeting at 2008-12-17.
