That is where and why i mentioned Fedora can try this for a start:- ----- What Fedora can do is just trigger email to the Ambassadors, those responded, classified them as Active Ambassadors and make them listed in Fedora Ambassadors page so to like others to contact them. For those whom do not reply with in a month, KIV them to Ambassador KIV group, make them hidden to End User but not Ambassasors, but purge them off after half year of no reply. ----- Then improve it along the way, rather then keep going on in the mailing list and no action per say. India had did a good job on start the mailing list out to all ambassadors in India to screen for active and inactive ambassadors. So, may be Fedora Ambassadors steering committee, Susmit, as a mentor for the APAC region can assist in getting it done like wise in India ?And in Region EMEA, they got "2. Ambassadors Membership Verification (Joerg)" may be APAC can learn from them, Just another 2cts worth. -- Best Regards, Jason Singapore Fedora Ambassador http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jason_Benedict_Low VoIP = sip:jasonbenedict at fedoraproject.org ------ When i work nobody care.

But since there were some interessting postings, i could not longer hold off. And just to make it clear: I don't want to offend several people here on the list, i just want to say a few words. First, i totally dislike the suggested "point system" (like "Beeing at a event -> +100pts). Remember, beeing Fedora Ambassador doesn't mean to be a hero in a MMORPG where you can earn Experience Points for succesfully finishing quests. I don't want to come to a a point in future, where i pay someone 200? to get a eminently respected 100.000 Ambassador Points worthy Fedora Ambassador identity (or avatar). And there is another critic point at this method. Who decides, wich activity drops how many points? I mean i can stay for 2 weeks on an event or convention and tell all people about fedora. What if (i know it is exaggerated but it is just an example) everyone i talk to on the event already knows Fedora, contributes already to another distro and is absolutely not interessted in my "drivel"? Then, my spent time was without succes, and i should get 0 points, because i have achieved nothing. But if i convince 3 friends of mine to use fedora (and offer them support) (wich i did in my few weeks as Ambassador now) do i now get 300 points (for just much less hours of engagement)? The point is: No matter what someone does or doesn't, no one here is able to rate his engagement in points. Another suggestion was to send every month (or every half year e.g.) a validation mail. This would be more acceptable to me than the points system, but it is still unsatisfying. There would be too much troubles and sentences like "oh, please give me my Ambassador Status back, i haven't known anything from the mail, you know, my Spam filter...". Maybe i'm a bit pessimistic, but in my experience, it is always the same. I think, the main problem and reason for this debate is: We have many Ambassadors, many inactive and every week a few new Ambassadors. Problem A): Too many inactive Ambassadors. The Validation mail is as i said not the best method. And it has another disadvantage. You can be as inactive as you want, as long as you answer a short "i'm still active" mail to the mailing list. Problem B): Too many new Ambassadors who become inactive after a few days/weeks/months and who have no idea how to contribute. I think it is also our topic to tell new fedora people, how and where they can start contributing. If we don't manage this task inside the Ambassador the team, how can we handle it for the rest of the Fedora Project? So my idea would be, to spend time with talking to new ambassadors about their abilities and give them some hints where they can start contributing with their abilities. For example, Joerg read, that i'm a ongoing social/cultural anthropologist stressed on central asia, so he introduced me to Mirlan (i wrote him already a mail, waiting for his response). Maybe it would be helpful to create a mindmap wich clearly describes the organization of the Fedora Project with all ways of contributing. Also we maybe should concentrate some work on the New Ambassadors Guide someone here works at (sorry, i forgot who exactly it was). Just my 2 cents.

Message-ID: <15917749.973461238594153981.JavaMail.servlet@perfora> All good points, on the "too many inactive Ambassador" front I see no issues removing them. If being a member of ANYTHING (LUG, AAA, YMCA, Fedora) simply requires you to just login every once in a while to say "hello", update a Wiki, or anything within 90days or whatever to remain an active member is no big deal. Is there a place within FAS that allows you to cancel your Ambassadorship, delete/remove FAS account or anything? Granted the issue we're having is because people won't delete themselves simply because they have no spare time to dedicate to Fedora. If the team is growing too large than another alternative is to continue the regional breakdown of Ambassadors. Is there a 'fedora-list' mailer for regions? ie: fedora-ambassador-list-NA for North America or fedora-list-EU, or fedora-list etc that would be dedicated to the newer members. The only reason I say, some of the members from India have some great ideas for getting things going in their colleges, cafes, etc, but I really wouldn't know how to help them any further because I don't know what works in their area. Mine is an predominantly MS area, so it's tough. Conventions are limited as well and finding colleges in the area that can help promote is kind of like pulling teeth because they only teach MS & Java... Back to the regions idea: by region we can all talk amongst ourselves, the Regional ambassadors if the topic is important can forward the discussion from region to global for total input. I wish I had ideas on the 'barrier to entry' scheme but until the 'inactive' issue is resolved, I don't know... -david. >Hi All, > >until now i tried to back off from this topic, because i'm a so called >"Ambassador Newbie" myself. > >But since there were some interessting postings, i could not longer hold >off. >And just to make it clear: I don't want to offend several people here on >the list, i just want to say a few words. > >First, i totally dislike the suggested "point system" (like "Beeing at a >event -> +100pts). >Remember, beeing Fedora Ambassador doesn't mean to be a hero in a MMORPG >where you can earn Experience Points for succesfully finishing quests. >I don't want to come to a a point in future, where i pay someone 200? to >get a eminently respected 100.000 Ambassador Points worthy Fedora >Ambassador identity (or avatar). > >And there is another critic point at this method.

Message-ID: <313978.70974.qm@web94701.mail.in2.yahoo.com> Hi to all Ambassadors, Myself Sunil from India. First I would like to tell you that I removed myself from Ambassadors list, a day after I was allowed to be Ambassador. I hope they who are crying for inactive Ambassador issue will be happy. If you have read below there were few lines: "who have no idea how to contribute" Better if you call can work on this issue. One more clue, you can mail them asking, why are they inactive for such a long period, before deleting them(if you are thinking of deleting them). Asking is important because there may be great ideas which fedora may loose just because no one was there to guide and give a first gear to those ideas. Second clue, what anyone will get or achieve being a Ambassador of Fedora? (I think someone asked me). My problem, I tried to be a member to provide free media in my region, but still see myself unapproved status.

If being a member of ANYTHING (LUG, AAA, YMCA, Fedora) simply requires you to just login every once in a while to say "hello", update a Wiki, or anything within 90days or whatever to remain an active member is no big deal.? Is there a place within FAS that allows you to cancel your Ambassadorship, delete/remove FAS account or anything?? Granted the issue we're having is because people won't delete themselves simply because they have no spare time to dedicate to Fedora. ? If the team is growing too large than another alternative is to continue the regional breakdown of Ambassadors.? Is there a 'fedora-list' mailer for regions?? ie: fedora-ambassador-list-NA for North America or fedora-list-EU, or fedora-list etc that would be dedicated to the newer members.? The only reason I say, some of the members from India have some great ideas for getting things going in their colleges, cafes, etc, but I really wouldn't know how to help them any further because I don't know what works in their area.? Mine is an predominantly MS area, so it's tough.? Conventions are limited as well and finding colleges in the area that can help promote is kind of like pulling teeth because they only teach MS & Java...? Back to the regions idea:? by region we can all talk amongst ourselves, the Regional ambassadors if the topic is important can forward the discussion from region to global for total input.? ?

Freemedia is a program initially created by ambassadors, but it is not longer needed to be ambassador in order to contribute in Freemedia. Of course you have to get an account in Fedora Account System in order to log in in the trac system for freemedia. But it not needed to sing up as ambassador. It will be nice if you do. It took me some time to figure out this on my own. I will like to help mentoring people to short time from singup to be productive for the community. Mainly because I would like to save that experience to newcomers. I am not just to complain about things, but about trying to help to overcome those issues. In the other hand, the real problem, is when you have a Ambassador listed to help one area, and he or she does not reply to email requesting local info. I don't care if he or she is busy doing other stuff, or just don't want to help at this moment. It is voluntary work and everyone have right to get a break now and then. But I think if somebody writes directly to you because you have a profile as ambassador, at least you should answer to say that you can't help at this time. When you don't get any answer is what I call inactive or dead ambassador. And that's is the other side of the ambassador member list that needs to be take care of.

One of my hopes for the first of these meetings is that we will get some new ambassadors to attend and get a little orientation from FAmSCo about what the purpose of FAmSCo is and why it matters to all ambassadors. Another of my hopes is that by just having some conversation between FAmSCo and a bigger cross-section of the ambassador pool we will all get to know each other better which helps in so many ways. FAmSCo is one of the things I find that new ambassadors see as a mystery. There is general unease among new members about not understanding the overall organizational structure of Fedora, but I'd like to get that cleared up at least within the ambassador community. So my overall hope for a meeting like this is a bit more abstract than what it would be for a normal meeting. Meet, talk, develop good will and understanding, leave happy knowing who is available to help us when we need help. That sort of thing. I will prime the meeting with one question that I intended to ask, but perhaps by asking it now you might just answer it when telling us a bit about the role of FAmSCo during the meeting. Hypothetically let's assume some issue bubbles up to FAmSCo's attention and FAmSCo decides it needs to be resolved. Perhaps something like "ambassadors need a mentoring program" might be an example. How does FAmSCo decide whether this is something that should be tasked and implemented by FAmSCo or something where FAmSCo might lay out a statement of the goal it believes we should have but leaves the implementation to be handled by local ambassadors in the various regions? I'm curious about this because actually implementing and participating in the execution of policy is something I see a bit of within FAmSCo that doesn't seem to be a "normal" role for a steering committee. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

My opinion is this, and I SPEAK ONLY FOR MYSELF: (1) One of the purposes of steering committees in Fedora is to *make decisions* that need to be made, so that issues don't just wander around forever, or reappear every few months. I think FAmSCo has been too timid in this regard, to be honest. On places where things are kind of 50/50 like the whole active/inactive thing, I think FAmSCo has chickened out and "done nothing" because the will of the larger Ambassadors community wasn't clear. That's wrong. And I'm glad that in the current iteration of FAmSCo, we are trying to analyze some root problems and come up with a plan for solving them. (2) More than just making decisions as things bubble up, a leadership team is reponsible for presenting a vision for the future that is compelling, and that people can agree on and believe in. I believe that FAmSCo is in the process of crafting such a vision right now, and that it encompasses an overhaul of mentoring and training while respecting the precedents that we have set of regional leadership and autonomy. (3) FAmSCo has a sacred responsibility (like all Fedora leadership teams) to explain and justify its decisions. If the community doesn't like them, they are entirely free to throw the bums out of office completely in the next election. (4) I have been torn for a while about how vocal I should be in FAmSCo about non-budget items. In 2008, I was sort of an honorary member of FAmSco, and therefore I limited myself to the budget stuff. In 2009, I am an actual elected member of FAmSCo, so I am speaking my mind more forcefully. (5) Like all things in Fedora, I think the job of the leadership team is to lay out a vision and a set of actions needed to achieve the vision. If there is buy-in, then some people will step up to help. At that point, I think it is entirely appropriate for a FAmSCo member to do some of the implementation, but if you have one person all alone saying "let's go this way" and no one wants to follow, then there is *not* a mandate to act. (6) People on FAmSCo need to speak not just for themselves, but they also need to consider the needs of their regions. We are fortunate to have a FAmSCo with members from all over the globe. Those FAmSCo members should be attending (and if necessary leading) their local regional Ambassadors meetings, and being part of their regional leadership teams, or at least in frequent communication with those teams. (7) I believe that it is entirely unacceptable for any region of the world to not have at least a monthly meeting on IRC for ambassadors to feel like there is a local community of support around them. --Max From mspevack at redhat.com Wed Apr 1 18:20:53 2009 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 20:20:53 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Ambassadors] FAmSCo (North America) Regional Meeting Reminder - 02/04/2009 20.00 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Wed, 1 Apr 2009, Max Spevack wrote: > (3) FAmSCo has a sacred responsibility (like all Fedora leadership > teams) to explain and justify its decisions.

I general I completely agree with this sentiment. It hasn't been too many months ago that I even declared FAmSCo to be rapidly becoming irrelevant, and it's one of the reasons that I ran for FAmSCo, to either make it more relevant or to guide it toward oblivion. I hope it is the former rather than the latter. I think there's a finesse to running a community of volunteers and that often we fall on the far too lackadaisical side of things. I'll say that I think we too often strive for unanimous consent. I firmly realize that there are and will be times that people don't agree me, and that's ok. I don't expect to play the part of a Stepford FAmSCo member. If I disagree with Max on an issue I don't think it will harm our ongoing work or the relationship that exists, we just have different opinions. That attitude may well get me voted out at the next election, but I don't think so. > > (2) More than just making decisions as things bubble up, a leadership team > is reponsible for presenting a vision for the future that is compelling, and > that people can agree on and believe in. ?I believe that FAmSCo is in the > process of crafting such a vision right now, and that it encompasses an > overhaul of mentoring and training while respecting the precedents that we > have set of regional leadership and autonomy. The vision and policy aspect of things is quite honestly the most important aspect of FAmSCo. If FAmSCo is the 'court of last resort' for dealing with ongoing issues, then generally I think there is a problem. I have no desire to meddle in the affairs of EMEA, NA, APAC, or any other group from my role as a member of FAmSCo. On the other hand I fully expect for a number of forward looking directives to emerge from FAmSCo. Quite honestly if FAmSCo can't provide that 'compelling future guidance' then I seriously doubt it's continued usefulness. Please don't take this as me badmouthing FAmSCo - but I think a constant reevaluation of what we are doing is necessary. I am excited about the potential I see, and hope that in the coming months you'll be happy with that representation as well (even if you might not agree with the end decisions). John in your specific example (re mentorship) : I would see FAmSCo's role as: 1. Recognizing if this need/problem is global (or subproject wide). If it is, it's possibly something for FAmSCo to consider. If it isn't, making sure that the region has the resources and support they need to deal with the issue. 2. Assuming it is a global need/problem then deciding if it is something best delegated. For instance, there is a global need for media every release - I do'nt think that's FAmSCo's business to deal with aside from assuring that the regions have access to resources to make media happen. 3. I don't think mentorship fails either of those tests. I think there is great potential to reuse much of the work with regards to mentoring, and I think there is much to gain from having a 'global' policy on mentoring simply to reduce the urge to 1) bikeshedding, and 2) reinvent the wheel 5 times over. 4. Quite honestly I think that identifying the qualifications of an Ambassador (at joining and post mentorship) is much like deciding the qualities of a packager and proven packager. It's the steering committees reponsibility to set those bars, it's the 'sponsors' to apply those standards to new people and make sure they are met. That said I don't think that once a FAmSCo member that you are no longer part of the regional and local groups. I think it's just an added hat, and I'd fully expect every FAmSCo member to be involved in implementation, but perhaps not while wearing the FAmSCo Fedora. > > (3) FAmSCo has a sacred responsibility (like all Fedora leadership teams) to > explain and justify its decisions. ?If the community doesn't like them, they > are entirely free to throw the bums out of office completely in the next > election.

Did you have a chance to check out the "Fedora Ambassadors" page? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors If not, let me tell you in a few words what we do. We go to all sorts of places and events where we can meet people and educate them about the value of open source software and get them involved in the community--be it as users or contributors. There are a few resources already available, such as standard presentation decks you can adapt for yourself, and some posters and signs you can print. Recently, we launched the Ambassador Kits, which include all the essentials that a starting Ambassador can use to begin evangelizing Fedora... There is so much out there, I have a hard time picking stuff to list here. I am copying the Fedora Ambassadors list, to which I encourage you to subscribe and use the energy and know-how of thousands of Ambassadors all around the world to help you promote Fedora. Please let me know if you have more questions/ideas/etc--I will be glad to help!

I gave information in my talk on Fedora Account System on how to get started and told them to feel free to email me with any questions and that I would be more than willing to help them get started but unfortunately I haven't heard from them. I did however have one person who is a systems administrator for a company in a nearby town who said he wanted to offer up some bandwidth and host a fedora mirror so I gave him the relevant information on how to go about that and again offered my email address if assistance was needed, but I haven't heard from him so he was either successful or didn't get anywhere with it. I am planning another talk to the same student organization about creating your own custom spin, basically an overview of kickstart files, the livecd-tools, and then at the end a quick run through of Revisor. I assume many of the same (and hopefully many new) attendees will be there so I should be able to touch base and check on statuses of different people. -Adam -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments From herlo1 at gmail.com Thu Apr 2 16:44:24 2009 From: herlo1 at gmail.com (Clint Savage) Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 10:44:24 -0600 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora Classroom: April 4-5, 2009 - We need your presentations Message-ID: Well, it?s that time of the month again, this coming weekend April 4 & 5 will be the sessions for the Fedora Classroom[1].

You could have put it like this: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your interest in contributing to Freemedia. However there are a few things you should note: 1. Please don't send HTML mails 'cause 1. Point 1 2. Point 2 2. You can get a fedora account from here[1]. 3. Then you can login and apply for the freemedia group. 4. Please note, you may have to wait a bit till you are approved. If you have any problem, please us know. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is essentially what you said, but in a different way.

I would like to encourage all ambassadors and other Fedora contributors to join us. It takes very little effort on your part in the freemedia program to make a positive difference in someone else's life. Every ambassador who asks "what can I do?" should be directed to the freemedia program. It is a great place to start helping.

Grab now http://in.promos.yahoo.com/address From inode0 at gmail.com Sat Apr 4 22:17:52 2009 From: inode0 at gmail.com (inode0) Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2009 17:17:52 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAmNA Meeting Summary from 2009-04-02 Message-ID: * Announcements - Fedora Classroom sessions this Saturday and Sunday https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom All forms of partipation are encouraged - UTOSC is now ready to announce it's dates http://blog.utos.org/2009/04/02/theme-utah-open-source-2009/ - The Board is having their public meeting/Q&A next Tuesday - Lindependence will be holding an event in New Mexico this year * NA Event Sponsorship Planning There has been some recent discussion within FAmNA about how to best handle when and where Fedora might sponsor events in NA. The general motivation behind event sponsorship is that it is one part of being a good member of the event community we all benefit from participating in. While we need to recognize we can't sponsor all events, we do want to sponsor ones that we have a large presence at when our budget allows us to. This will need to be considered on a case by case basis. We intend to consider sponsorship of events as part of the initial budget process as a routine part of early event planning in the future. This quarter we will be sponsors of LinuxFest Northwest in Bellingham, WA and the SouthEast LinuxFest in Clemson, SC. The latter event will occur in Q2 of our fiscal year. * Events [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents] - cprofitt mentioned possible involvement with an annual event run by the New York State Association for Computers and Technologies in Education http://www.nyscate.org/conferences.cfm - lcafiero talked more about the LFNW FAD's progress and various other items related to LFNW were also discussed - Confirmed NYLUG event with jds2001, all seems ready to go there - LUCI is being rescheduled for the fall * Budget Review [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget] - Hints received and conveyed about dealing with budget issues soon - herlo reports progress on the banner investigation for our event boxes, some designs were discussed, decision from herlo coming soon - dthomasdigital has begun investigation of case badge options, quotes and style options available soon - davdunc volunteered to do the legwork to line up some options for temporary tattoos - will be news on these next week - StabbyMc suggested using ambassador polos as something of a reward, this needs to get some consideration as they certainly would be a reward * Tasks [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks] - No report * Open Floor - StabbyMc shared a wiki page he started about mentoring with us http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_Ambassador_Mentor_Program - MadBus asked about ambassadors presenting to OEM vendors which resulted in much discussion about vendor contributions, Fedora on commercially available boxes, and Fedora in K-12 institutions I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.

Never mind. (08:06:37 PM) herlo: well, for anyone in this room, we have an upcoming Fedora Classroom this Saturday and Sunday (08:06:43 PM) herlo: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom (08:06:50 PM) cprofitt_: ianweller, thanks (08:07:14 PM) herlo: I will note that it's at about 3am in NA so that's a bit early/late depending on when you go to bed :) (08:07:17 PM) herlo: but (08:07:41 PM) herlo: we need to encourage our EMEA and APAC counterparts to participate / present. We're always in need of more presenters (08:08:04 PM) herlo: if you know anyone in EMEA or APAC who you think would be good, bug them. Get them to present (08:08:20 PM) herlo: i should also mention that if you wanna get up / stay up that late, please do and present :) (08:08:24 PM) herlo: eof (08:08:27 PM) inode0: and bug yourself for another month when it is more NA timezone friendly (08:08:39 PM) herlo: inode0: ahh yes (08:08:42 PM) StabbyMc: May looks NA friendly. (08:09:06 PM) ***inode0 pauses 10 seconds for further announcements (08:09:14 PM) herlo: StabbyMc: don't think so (08:09:22 PM) herlo: StabbyMc: 2am, but I think I might change that right now (08:09:40 PM) ***jds2001 here, sorry (08:09:55 PM) StabbyMc: bah, stupid UTC. (08:09:59 PM) inode0: jds2001: I wanted to poke you in the event section (08:10:10 PM) inode0: ok, ready to continue? (08:10:16 PM) herlo: +1 (08:10:18 PM) inode0: NA Event Sponsorship Planning (08:10:19 PM) lcafiero: +1 (08:10:26 PM) lcafiero: +1 to StabbyMc (08:10:28 PM) inode0: I just wanted to say something about this (08:10:30 PM) crossbytes: +1 (08:10:58 PM) inode0: we've discussed sponsoring conferences where we are big beneficiaries of the conference a bit lately (08:11:35 PM) inode0: as a way of helping the community that is helping us, being good citizens in the conference world (08:11:53 PM) inode0: and not looking like deadbeats just using conferences for our own purposes (08:12:05 PM) ***herlo just realized he has one more announcement when inode0 is finished (08:12:37 PM) inode0: so we plan to start looking at sponsorship at the early stages of event planning (08:12:59 PM) inode0: and handling the sponsorship costs outside of the normal event budget if possible (08:13:06 PM) ***leitz notes ke4qqq and Fedora supported BarCamp Charlotte early in. (08:13:26 PM) inode0: yes, this isn't new - Fedora has sponsored many events in the past (08:13:53 PM) inode0: what is new is that we are going to make it a point of emphasis in the FAmNA budget process (08:14:17 PM) inode0: of course not everything by any means can be sponsored by Fedora (08:14:53 PM) inode0: we need to use our funding for lots of different things, this is now one we'll be considering early in the process as a routine matter of course though (08:15:27 PM) inode0: and we have committed this quarter to sponsor LFNW and SELF (08:15:29 PM) VileGent: .fasinfo jbwillia (08:15:30 PM) zodbot: VileGent: User: jbwillia, Name: Ben Williams, email: jbwillia at math.vt.edu, Creation: 2006-04-17, IRC Nick: Southern_Gentleman, Timezone: UTC, Locale: en, Extension: 5100572, GPG key ID: 295A4FBC (08:15:31 PM) zodbot: VileGent: Approved Groups: cla_done ambassadors cla_fedora gitcourses irc-support-operators (08:15:33 PM) zodbot: VileGent: Unapproved Groups: None (08:15:41 PM) inode0: although SELF doesn't happen until next quarter (08:15:48 PM) cprofitt_: I am planning on trying to attend and present at Educational Technology Shows - is that the kind of thing you are talking about inode0 ? (08:15:52 PM) lcafiero: ? (08:16:25 PM) inode0: cprofitt_: any conference event at which Fedora is participating I think we want to consider sponsorship (08:16:31 PM) cprofitt_: k (08:16:49 PM) herlo: inode0: cprofitt_ makes a good point, we need to differentiate between what we can sponsor and what we will sponsor. Or has that already been discussed? (08:16:59 PM) inode0: if it is just one person giving a talk we probably won't, but if we have a booth, a FAD, several speakers, we should be trying (08:17:24 PM) herlo: agreed, just wanted it to be in print (08:17:30 PM) cprofitt_: what is a FAD? (08:17:34 PM) herlo: or leds (08:17:38 PM) StabbyMc: Fedora Activity Day (08:17:41 PM) cprofitt_: k (08:17:57 PM) herlo: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Activity_Day_-_FAD (08:18:04 PM) inode0: so when Fedora has a *major* presence we probably should try to help sponsor the event at least (08:18:12 PM) cprofitt_: I usually try to see what the deals are for booths for NFP groups, but will sponsorship be possible if the booth has a cost? (08:18:51 PM) leitz: Newb question--is there a page that says what we can do at events and what stuff we can get from Fedora-MKTG so we present a unified image? (08:18:52 PM) inode0: we will need to look at each case and it will of course depend on our budget for the particular quarter (08:19:18 PM) herlo: leitz: yes, there is hang on (08:19:26 PM) cprofitt_: inode0, noted... I will not trouble this meeting more... perhaps I can give you the details after the meeting ends (08:19:47 PM) inode0: no trouble at all, please feel completely free to participate in the meeting (08:20:16 PM) cprofitt_: I just don't want to go too far off track with specifics... (08:20:25 PM) inode0: are there other comments anyone wants to make about sponsorship? (08:20:25 PM) ***stickster will be lurking, but is working on release notes tonight with Docs crew (08:20:31 PM) herlo: leitz: this applies for anything, not just Conferences and Events: (08:20:32 PM) herlo: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/North_American_Ambassadors_World_Domination_Plan (08:20:39 PM) leitz: herlo--thanks! (08:20:55 PM) jds2001: stickster: bah, who needs release notes? (08:20:59 PM) jds2001: I KID, I KID :) (08:21:02 PM) herlo: heh (08:21:06 PM) lcafiero: heh (08:21:32 PM) VileGent: jds2001, yeah nobody reads them anyways :) (08:21:37 PM) inode0: ok, this leads us into the events part of the program (08:21:42 PM) cprofitt_: http://www.nyscate.org/conferences.cfm -- the one I am talking about are the annual one in Rochester, NY (08:21:45 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents (08:22:04 PM) inode0: Let's begin by giving the floor to lcafiero to discuss LFNW (08:22:23 PM) ***lcafiero takes a bow. (08:22:31 PM) lcafiero: I'll make this quick (08:22:45 PM) herlo: but I'll make it longer :) (08:23:02 PM) lcafiero: LFNW is 25-26 of April, and we haven't really solidified what we're going to do at the FAD, and I'm open to suggestions (08:23:09 PM) inode0: We need to get to NYLUG before jds2001 grows a beard (08:23:15 PM) lcafiero: I have been approached to do a couple of things. (08:23:24 PM) ***jds2001 already has a beard :D (08:23:31 PM) ***lcafiero thinks -- I thought jds2001 had a beard (08:23:40 PM) cprofitt_: NYLUG? (08:23:53 PM) inode0: sorry, I've derailed LFNW - back on topic (08:23:57 PM) lcafiero: But anyway, I had proposed to continue what we did at FAD SCaLE, which was packaging fonts and documentation (08:24:03 PM) lcafiero: But I'm flexible. (08:24:18 PM) jds2001: who's going to LFNW? (08:24:26 PM) lcafiero: I've told the LFNW folks that I will give my Fedora 101 talk at the beginning of the FAD, which is all day Saturday. (08:24:28 PM) jds2001: SCaLE broke the bank for me, or I'd be there :D (08:24:33 PM) ***lcafiero raises hand (08:24:46 PM) inode0: lcafiero: we can't really say what to do since the people attending should be doing what they want to do (08:24:51 PM) lcafiero: I think it's quaid, herlo, me, adam williamson is coming down from vancouver (08:24:55 PM) lcafiero: Um . . . (08:25:03 PM) lcafiero: jesse keating (08:25:10 PM) lcafiero: I think he said he was going. (08:25:15 PM) jds2001: i though jesse couldnt make it. (08:25:21 PM) lcafiero: There's a list of folks on the wiki page (08:25:24 PM) lcafiero: which is . . . . (08:25:27 PM) jds2001: f13: you around by chance? (08:25:42 PM) crossbytes: I am going if my back allows me to go.. (08:26:25 PM) lcafiero: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LinuxFest_Northwest_(LFNW)_2009 (08:26:39 PM) lcafiero: jeff sandys, brennan ashton. (08:26:45 PM) lcafiero: Matt McKenzie can't make it. (08:27:11 PM) lcafiero: Jesse wanted to do a brief presentation at the FAD, which is okay with me. (08:27:17 PM) ***inode0 thinks you need to organize the FAD with those people (08:27:22 PM) jds2001: yeppers (08:27:52 PM) herlo: lcafiero: what time does the con end on Sunday night? I'm looking at late flights that night or early the next morning (which there are none really) (08:28:07 PM) lcafiero: I'll take that as you folks don't have a preference of what we do at this FAD. (08:28:28 PM) lcafiero: herlo: I have to check. I don't know for sure, but I'd assume it's 5ish like SCaLE. (08:28:29 PM) inode0: it just doesn't matter what we think :) (08:28:33 PM) herlo: hmm (08:28:56 PM) lcafiero: Also, I've arranged to get the first table by the door in the hall so we'll get people coming and going. (08:29:09 PM) lcafiero: And we're also sponsors, as inode0 mentioned earlier. (08:29:09 PM) inode0: that is always excellent (08:29:11 PM) herlo: lcafiero: it's about the folks up there and what they wanna do. Those of us that are coming should probably put in for something. i was kind of thinking a OLPC hackfest to create a 4th grade math item would be cool (08:29:22 PM) lcafiero: We could do that. (08:29:27 PM) inode0: has that shown up on the website? (08:29:36 PM) ***inode0 would not mind the publicity (08:29:40 PM) lcafiero: On our wiki or on LFNW's site? (08:29:47 PM) herlo: inode0: what shown up? (08:29:50 PM) ***lcafiero doesn't know what "that" is. (08:29:55 PM) jds2001: our sponsorship (08:29:59 PM) jds2001: on LFNW's site (08:30:02 PM) ***jds2001 reads minds (08:30:06 PM) lcafiero: http://www.lfnw.org (08:30:08 PM) inode0: yes! (08:30:09 PM) herlo: apparently (08:30:13 PM) lcafiero: Haven't been there today. (08:30:30 PM) jds2001: we are there (08:30:35 PM) inode0: can we get moved right above amazon? :) (08:30:41 PM) herlo: lol (08:30:52 PM) lcafiero: Anyway, that was the only thing pressing -- the topic(s) of FAD, and if it's up to our own devices, we'll have something really exciting. (08:31:04 PM) lcafiero: heh @ herlo (08:31:26 PM) lcafiero: That and the deadline for the special price on the hotel is tomorrow, so get your reservations in. (08:31:31 PM) lcafiero: For those of you who are going. (08:31:57 PM) lcafiero: We can discuss this more on the list, but I'm liking the OLPC idea. (08:32:17 PM) inode0: be sure to touch base with spevack about the FAD plans when they are formed (08:32:22 PM) lcafiero: Right. (08:32:33 PM) lcafiero: That's already being done. (08:32:43 PM) inode0: good, thanks (08:33:02 PM) lcafiero: I think that's really all there is to report. If quaid is lurking and wants to add something . . . . (08:33:19 PM) ***lcafiero takes that as a "no" (08:33:22 PM) crossbytes: I will do a crash course on Python for the OLPC ..then (08:33:30 PM) inode0: ok, NYLUG time (08:33:35 PM) crossbytes: any suggestions? (08:33:38 PM) lcafiero: Right, Kevin Higgins (08:33:45 PM) inode0: is that still happening jds2001? with the sudden change (08:33:47 PM) lcafiero: He's also on the list to be at LFNW (08:33:55 PM) quaid: oh, hey, is this the meeting? (08:34:00 PM) quaid: sorry, I just got back home (08:34:05 PM) jds2001: inode0: i believe so. I believe this will be our last meeting at IBM. (08:34:07 PM) lcafiero: If the doc gives the okay. crossbytes? (08:34:30 PM) inode0: jds2001: ok, so are we all set with funds? (08:34:40 PM) ***jds2001 has heard nothing of funds. (08:34:48 PM) jds2001: except informally (08:35:09 PM) ***lcafiero will be back in 2 minutes. has to go across the room to slap a reporter. (08:35:17 PM) inode0: someone set aside funds for the event (08:35:40 PM) ***jds2001 plans on giving away a few USB keys, pizza. (08:35:49 PM) inode0: let me know if anything needs to be arranged beyond saying we'll reimburse X (08:36:25 PM) inode0: need any other swag since it is the farewell event (08:36:59 PM) jds2001: that would be awesome. I have plenty of media and stickers (08:37:15 PM) jds2001: I'd *like* some tshirts, but that's not mandatory. (08:37:30 PM) inode0: get some - you know how to use trac? :-) (08:37:39 PM) herlo: lol (08:37:50 PM) ***jds2001 thinks he can figure it out somehow :D (08:37:59 PM) jds2001: for those that don't know i set up the request system :) (08:38:02 PM) herlo: is that it for LFNW and its FAD? (08:38:10 PM) herlo: or are we into Events? (08:38:11 PM) crossbytes: I do not have an ambassador kit as of yet but was waiting for F11 to come out...it will be right bfore my B-day (08:38:19 PM) inode0: ok sounds like we are good then for NYLUG (08:38:35 PM) inode0: jds2001 can ping me if he needs any other help getting stuff arranged (08:38:37 PM) herlo: crossbytes: it will take aobut 2 weeks after release to get you an F11 ambkit (08:39:01 PM) herlo: crossbytes: you should take some of our F10 disks, we have a lot left. (08:39:12 PM) ***herlo learned a good lesson about purchasing this time... :) (08:39:12 PM) ***lcafiero is back, and no he didn't REALLY slap a reporter, but did instruct him on the past tenses of some important verbs. (08:39:16 PM) inode0: herlo: I merged LFNW into events since it is an event anyway (08:39:26 PM) herlo: indeed (08:39:30 PM) lcafiero: question: When is NYLUG? (08:39:35 PM) inode0: 15th (08:39:36 PM) jds2001: April 15 (08:39:38 PM) lcafiero: Thanks. (08:39:39 PM) crossbytes: thats ok the F10's will work also.. (08:39:42 PM) herlo: inode0: I'd like to make an announcement RE: Events. (08:39:52 PM) inode0: herlo has the floor (08:40:10 PM) herlo: UTOSC is now ready to announce it's dates, that is all. We;ll have an announcement out on Saturday with Venue, dates and we already have our theme post up today (08:40:13 PM) jds2001: cprofitt_: if you wanna come down to NYC for nylug feel free. (08:40:26 PM) herlo: http://blog.utos.org/2009/04/02/theme-utah-open-source-2009/ (08:40:28 PM) herlo: eof (08:40:45 PM) herlo: oh, it'll be in Early October (08:40:47 PM) inode0: Fedora might have some presence at this event (08:41:03 PM) ***jds2001 thought you wanted August :/ (08:41:13 PM) herlo: jds2001: nope, that was lcafiero (08:41:14 PM) lcafiero: Early october -- so much for the summer trip :-( (08:41:20 PM) herlo: lcafiero: sorry man (08:41:26 PM) inode0: October is better :) (08:41:28 PM) lcafiero: No biggie -- we'll still be there. (08:41:29 PM) herlo: lots of factors to consider (08:41:41 PM) herlo: Fedora WILL have a presence there :) (08:41:42 PM) lcafiero: That doesn't conflict with OLF? (08:41:47 PM) cprofitt_: that is a bit far for me... jds2001 but perhaps we can have a NY State event in the middle of the state... Syracuse? (08:41:54 PM) inode0: OLF is in September this year (08:42:07 PM) herlo: it's about 3 weeks apart iirc (08:42:24 PM) herlo: but we're not looking to snipe their attendees per se... (08:42:46 PM) inode0: Ok, are there any other events to talk about tonight? (08:43:05 PM) inode0: we sent stuff to PyCon but I've not heard a report yet about the event (08:43:10 PM) herlo: I wanted to mention that LFNW will rock :) (08:43:34 PM) ***lcafiero wants everyone to know that it's not my fault this meeting went past 10 minutes (08:43:44 PM) inode0: LUCI is supposed to be this month ... is a date for that set yet? (08:43:44 PM) lcafiero: Actually, herlo is right about LFNW. (08:43:52 PM) lcafiero: Actually, I need to change that. (08:44:03 PM) lcafiero: LUCI is now probably in the fall when classes start again. (08:44:12 PM) inode0: ok, (08:44:23 PM) inode0: I'll stop worrying about LUCI for now (08:44:25 PM) lcafiero: jsmidt had some things come up and he and joe smith (an ubuntero down there) (08:44:36 PM) lcafiero: said they'd pick it up at the beginning of the school year. (08:44:59 PM) inode0: events going once (08:45:07 PM) inode0: events going twice (08:45:16 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget (08:45:26 PM) inode0: spevack wants us to do something aboutthe budget (08:45:45 PM) herlo: what? (08:45:47 PM) StabbyMc: do somthing in what sense? (08:45:51 PM) inode0: unfortunately I don't think he is awake to tell us what that is exactly (08:46:07 PM) inode0: he wants us to actually get to spending it I believe (08:46:43 PM) inode0: The big ticket item is in herlo's court I think (08:46:53 PM) inode0: How is infrastructure research going? (08:47:03 PM) herlo: inode0: yeah, so I am finally able to launch scribus (08:47:33 PM) herlo: so now I can do cmyk coloring (08:47:42 PM) inode0: great (08:47:45 PM) herlo: and I'll have two banners printed (08:47:50 PM) inode0: are banners picked out? (08:47:53 PM) herlo: in addition, I decided they needed to change (08:47:58 PM) herlo: inode0: yes, sorta (08:48:33 PM) herlo: http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/art/fedora_four_fs_vertical_banner_sm.png (08:49:00 PM) lcafiero: nice (08:49:01 PM) inode0: that is really nice, still thinking about a scrolling display? (08:49:34 PM) herlo: yes (08:49:37 PM) herlo: here's the thing (08:49:56 PM) herlo: everyone else seems to be useing the more colorful banners that mo created. Was kind of thinking of adding that to the background (08:49:59 PM) herlo: should be pretty easy (08:50:29 PM) ***inode0 votes for herlo to take however much time is required to get it right in his eyes (08:50:36 PM) jds2001: though dont we need something for LFNW if we don't have the retractable ones? (08:50:37 PM) VileGent: +1 (08:50:51 PM) herlo: inode0: thing is, I'd like to get it to LFNW (08:50:58 PM) leitz: Do you have an image with the more colorful backgrounds? (08:51:04 PM) herlo: leitz: yes, hold on (08:51:22 PM) herlo: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/collateral/fourfs/four-fs-four-posters.png (08:51:28 PM) herlo: somethign along those lines (08:51:37 PM) inode0: those are sweet (08:52:00 PM) herlo: those are okay. I think they're kind of noisy (08:52:09 PM) inode0: they are noisy too (08:52:10 PM) jds2001: me too, actually (08:52:16 PM) leitz: My preference, and it's just that, is the first set. More distinctive. (08:52:33 PM) ***inode0 agrees and disagrees with everything (08:52:41 PM) herlo: lol (08:53:01 PM) crossbytes: the less colorful one seems to complemnt the OLPC style more than the other so kind of depends on if OLPC is going to ther IMO (08:53:03 PM) inode0: which is why he doesn't decide what gets used but waits for herlo to decide (08:53:06 PM) ***leitz ignores inode0 about everything... (08:53:07 PM) herlo: so I'm going to play with the color schemes that mizmo did and see if I can come up with something a bit less noisy (08:53:22 PM) herlo: but I shoul dhave them ordered early next week (08:53:45 PM) inode0: great, spevack will be happy (08:54:12 PM) inode0: while we are talking about budget dthomasdigital has started looking again at case badges (08:54:17 PM) inode0: welcome dthomasdigital (08:54:22 PM) dthomasdigital: hi (08:54:24 PM) inode0: anything to report yet? (08:54:41 PM) herlo: inode0: I gave dthomasdigital some of the ones I created so he could start looking (08:55:25 PM) dthomasdigital: I've sent the manufactures examples of the logo should have quotes very soon. (08:55:43 PM) inode0: would anyone else like to investigate where we can buy some fedora branded tattoos before I forget? (08:55:57 PM) lcameron: ? (08:56:02 PM) inode0: good dthomasdigital, I know you just started and didn't mean to put you on the spot tonight (08:56:14 PM) lcameron: on the case badges, are you going with the 3d ones? or nice flat ones? (08:56:19 PM) dthomasdigital: very happy to do it. (08:56:22 PM) inode0: you just walked through the door while we were on this topic (08:56:42 PM) dthomasdigital: I'm looking for the aluminum (08:56:53 PM) inode0: lcameron: open question, but I think most of like flat better than domed (08:57:02 PM) inode0: most of us (08:57:12 PM) lcameron: I agree, 3d fall apart easy (08:58:03 PM) inode0: quaid: how is mysql looking? it is on the budget with $0 (08:58:34 PM) lcafiero: I can answer that if quaid's not around. (08:58:47 PM) inode0: go ahead lcafiero (08:59:39 PM) lcafiero: I don't believe we're having anything at the mysql conference. RH does, though. Some of the locals here go and work at the dbEntrance booth (dbEntrance is developed in Boulder Creek, Calif., not far from here) (08:59:53 PM) lcafiero: So that's why the budget may be $0. (09:00:01 PM) ***quaid is probably not going to go, as it happens (09:00:08 PM) quaid: too much this month, nebuluous value (09:00:21 PM) ***inode0 doesn't understand it being on the budget if it is $0 :) (09:00:34 PM) quaid: just in case (09:00:46 PM) lcafiero: ^^^ what quaid said. (09:00:51 PM) inode0: right ok (09:01:03 PM) inode0: sounds like we don't worry about it now (09:01:20 PM) lcafiero: it's the 22nd through the 25th, or something like that. I can only go on the Tuesday, assuming we're not hitting the road that day for LFNW. (09:01:31 PM) inode0: tattoos anyone? (09:01:39 PM) ***lcafiero raises hand (09:01:47 PM) ***cprofitt is still here just swapped computers (09:01:47 PM) inode0: I'll start twisting arms until they hurt pretty soon ... (09:01:53 PM) inode0: just a warning (09:02:01 PM) davdunc: I can look into the tattoos as well. (09:02:06 PM) VileGent: inode0, explain what you want (09:02:21 PM) herlo: I thought ke4qqq already figured those out but we just needed to order them (09:02:24 PM) inode0: VileGent: temp fedora logo tattoos for conferences (09:02:41 PM) VileGent: vegtable ink (09:02:42 PM) inode0: well let's do it, they are cheap (09:02:43 PM) herlo: we've had these on the budget for some time (09:02:46 PM) lcafiero: awwww, they're temporary . . . ? (09:03:00 PM) inode0: I assumed the original place didn't work out (09:03:24 PM) herlo: dunno (09:03:27 PM) inode0: lcafiero: is you hand still raised? (09:03:37 PM) inode0: can we keep both of them in plain sight? (09:04:03 PM) lcafiero: No, I was just saying I wanted tattoos (09:04:09 PM) ***inode0 wants to order tattoos so if anyone is willing to look into it please just do (09:04:17 PM) davdunc: I am. (09:04:18 PM) inode0: ke4qqq is very busy anyway (09:04:22 PM) herlo: davdunc: awesome! (09:04:28 PM) inode0: yes, thank you davdunc (09:05:01 PM) VileGent: http://www.www-temporarytattoos.com/?gclid=CIGzs8XP05kCFRpN5QodpDEpVw (09:05:03 PM) inode0: that is all my budget items, anyone else have any? (09:05:18 PM) herlo: whew! (09:05:23 PM) ***herlo has to go soon... (09:05:23 PM) dthomasdigital: tattoos would be great for NM linuxfest (09:05:33 PM) davdunc: thanks VileGent (09:05:36 PM) herlo: dthomasdigital: UTOSC thinks so doo (09:05:37 PM) herlo: too (09:05:47 PM) ***inode0 would like about 5000 :) (09:05:53 PM) lcameron: try http://customtattoos.net/custom2.html (09:05:56 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: do we have vast amounts of money we need to figure out how to spend? (09:06:08 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: not vast amounts (09:06:22 PM) StabbyMc: But it's like the g'ment, use or lose? (09:06:33 PM) inode0: we have a few swag items that have been on the budget for more than a quarter but haven't been ordered (09:06:48 PM) davdunc: :-) 5000. o.k. (09:06:53 PM) inode0: so I'm pushing to get those done this quarter (09:07:15 PM) inode0: davdunc: we had at some point a quote for 5000 tattoos for around $250 (09:08:31 PM) StabbyMc: EMEA has the polo thing for when they do shows, do we have something similar? (09:08:34 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: not exactly, we want to spend it wisely (09:08:35 PM) davdunc: alright. I'll have something ready end of the weekend. You know I am pretty new at this. Was there artwork already decided for this? (09:08:37 PM) jds2001: riel: you wanna be an ambassador now :) (09:08:40 PM) jds2001: StabbyMc: we do (09:08:45 PM) VileGent: question no one going to OLF this year? (09:08:53 PM) inode0: and pcalarco is in the house tonight! (09:09:04 PM) herlo: VileGent: OLF is far off (09:09:15 PM) pcalarco: aye (09:09:19 PM) VileGent: herlo but not on the list (09:09:21 PM) herlo: pcalarco: !!! (09:09:31 PM) herlo: VileGent: that just means nobody has claimed it yet (09:09:45 PM) herlo: feel free to add it and take control :) (09:09:48 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: pcalarco (pascal) is our polo savior (09:09:48 PM) jds2001: VileGent: if you'd like to run it, fee free :) (09:10:03 PM) ***herlo heads off to another meeting, ugh! (09:10:09 PM) inode0: night herlo, thanks (09:10:13 PM) jds2001: pcalarco: when are they coming btw? (09:10:24 PM) ***jds2001 still not received his two additional. (09:10:29 PM) VileGent: jds2001, run it no attend yes (09:10:34 PM) pcalarco: we did a polo order awhile back, have to send a few more out yet, to jds2000 and stickster (09:10:44 PM) jds2001: oh, ok :) (09:10:57 PM) inode0: jds2001 maybe is in the next batch then :) (09:11:01 PM) pcalarco: we could start collecting names for another order (09:11:11 PM) stickster: pcalarco: Do I owe you $$? (09:11:24 PM) inode0: we have a lot of new guys and I think there is interest again (09:11:30 PM) pcalarco: stickster: yes, I will email you (09:11:48 PM) pcalarco: great (09:12:04 PM) ***lcafiero likes his polo so much he might buy another. (09:12:06 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: this is something that might be cool for the Ambassador mentorship program, run an event, earn your polo, gratis? (09:12:30 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA <- has polo sign-up (09:13:06 PM) jds2001: lcafiero: i'll have 3 :) (09:13:17 PM) jds2001: my original and 2 more. (09:13:35 PM) ***jds2001 found the limitations of only having one at SCaLE :) (09:14:13 PM) inode0: polos would certainly be an incentive (09:14:54 PM) jds2001: indeed, and aside from outrageous shipping they're not horribly expensive. (09:15:08 PM) inode0: Seeing nothing particularly pressing on the task list I'd like to move to ... drum roll .... (09:15:13 PM) pcalarco: not too expensive if done in bulk; $23 plus shipping (09:15:15 PM) inode0: Open Floor (09:15:22 PM) StabbyMc: speaking of which: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_Ambassador_Mentor_Program (09:15:37 PM) inode0: thanks for pointing that out (09:15:39 PM) lcafiero: Lindependence will be holding an event in New Mexico this year. (09:16:05 PM) ***inode0 notes to move that to the announcements :) (09:16:07 PM) StabbyMc: I put together that page rather quickly, and would like to see some edits and ideas other than my own ;-) (09:16:31 PM) lcafiero: In Portales. I'll post more on the list. (09:16:47 PM) inode0: I suspect people are waiting to hear what FAmSCo decides to do about mentoring if anything (09:17:04 PM) ***StabbyMc suspects it's not high on their radar. (09:17:15 PM) inode0: oh it is very high on their radar (09:17:39 PM) ***StabbyMc missed todays meeting (09:17:42 PM) dthomasdigital: lcafiero Portales New Mexico? (09:17:48 PM) StabbyMc: Was it discussed? (09:17:52 PM) inode0: I suspect they will vote on parts of it at least next week (09:18:14 PM) inode0: it was discussed heavily last week and on the mailing list (09:18:56 PM) inode0: and I'll also add my announcement that I forgot (09:19:27 PM) inode0: The Board is having their public meeting/Q&A next Tuesday (09:19:59 PM) inode0: Should be fun as always so if you can come and talk with the board members about anything that concerns you (09:20:22 PM) inode0: new format this month as a bonus (09:20:37 PM) inode0: (an experiment) (09:20:48 PM) leitz: Do you think they will vote on more than "yes mentoring is good and the regions should do it"? (09:21:21 PM) ***jds2001 fails to understand why mentoring is a famsco concern. (09:21:26 PM) inode0: yes, but rather than conjecture here I think it is best to wait and see what they actually do (09:21:33 PM) jds2001: unless they want to mandate it for other regions. (09:22:04 PM) leitz: If there's no dissent about the value of mentoring, why wait? (09:22:46 PM) ***jds2001 of the JFDI mindset. (09:22:57 PM) inode0: because if we set up something this week and they change the membership process that borks our stuff next week ... (09:23:03 PM) MadBus: this the FAmNA meeting? (09:23:10 PM) jds2001: MadBus: it is (09:23:12 PM) lcafiero: dthomasdigital, yes. (09:23:20 PM) MadBus: cool (09:23:36 PM) jds2001: you are uite late, and we've run over as usual :) (09:23:37 PM) inode0: I just figure it is best to see what they do before we do anything since it won't be a long wait (09:23:43 PM) dthomasdigital: lcafiero in Albuquerque here. (09:23:57 PM) lcafiero: Yeah, you may have spoken to Bob about it. (09:24:19 PM) inode0: MadBus: and don't popping in for the final 2 minutes will get you on the roll call :) (09:24:26 PM) MadBus: inode0, lol (09:24:26 PM) inode0: don't think (09:24:29 PM) MadBus: inode0, I just got home (09:24:35 PM) MadBus: inode0, I've had a crazy night (09:24:48 PM) jds2001 has changed the topic to: Fedora Ambassadors Meeting (09:24:52 PM) jds2001: MadBus: happy now :) (09:24:56 PM) MadBus: yes :-) (09:25:17 PM) inode0: Is there other business or are we ready to wrap up for tonight? (09:25:30 PM) lcafiero: yep, that was 10 minutes :-) (09:25:40 PM) MadBus: not to bring up things already discussed but what is the going to happen with the new membership process (09:25:44 PM) MadBus: still in review? (09:25:55 PM) ***inode0 notes we successfully followed EMEA and hit 30 minutes almost on the button (09:25:56 PM) jds2001: MadBus: we're waiting on famsco for that. (09:26:13 PM) jds2001: 30 minutes? (09:26:16 PM) jds2001: 1.5 hours :) (09:26:31 PM) MadBus: jds2001, is it all in their hands now or is an ongoing pan-ambassadors discussion? (09:26:37 PM) ***inode0 didn't start the clock for the first hour so he wouldn't run long :) (09:26:42 PM) lcafiero: that dang daylight savings time again (09:26:50 PM) MadBus: lol (09:27:36 PM) inode0: ok, thank you everyone for coming and helping - especially all the new ambassadors (09:27:39 PM) ***MadBus has a thought - what about ambassadors presenting to OEM vendors? (09:27:43 PM) ***jds2001 has been busy with infra and FESCo-like duties, so I have to admit to not following it closely (09:27:48 PM) inode0: that is fine MadBus (09:27:53 PM) ***lcafiero backs away slowly (09:28:12 PM) inode0: hands away from the typewriter where we can see 'em mister (09:28:19 PM) MadBus: lol (09:28:43 PM) lcafiero: heh (09:28:43 PM) MadBus: inode0, as in, could we intentionally plan to send a few people to say IBM or HP, etc. (09:28:54 PM) inode0: sure (09:28:55 PM) ***lcafiero lives near HP (09:29:07 PM) MadBus: lcafiero, Cali? (09:29:11 PM) lcafiero: Yup (09:29:15 PM) MadBus: lcafiero, I may be your neighbor soon (09:29:19 PM) lcafiero: Just over the hill from the Silicon Valley. (09:29:22 PM) lcafiero: Yeah? (09:29:42 PM) MadBus: I'll be in or near Pasadena (09:29:45 PM) ***lcafiero jumps for joy -- more ambassadors in California (09:29:52 PM) inode0: working with vendors to get them to contribute is a perfectly fine use of ambassador power (09:29:52 PM) MadBus: (assuming the rest of the few loose ends get tied soon) (09:30:15 PM) ***leitz heads off... (09:30:17 PM) MadBus: inode0, that and also pitching Fedora for OEM use (09:30:28 PM) MadBus: inode0, which is another good way to get contributors (09:30:32 PM) lcafiero: Great MadBus (09:30:37 PM) inode0: well, pitching for OEM use I don't think is productive (09:30:51 PM) inode0: but you can try (09:31:05 PM) MadBus: inode0, not productive - because they won't likely bite? (09:31:32 PM) MadBus: (because of the short life?) (09:31:41 PM) inode0: it doesn't make sense for them to bite, and I don't think it makes sense for us to think they should (09:31:55 PM) cprofitt: I think working with K-12 institutions could yield fruit (09:31:59 PM) MadBus: or not productive because we could be spending our time asking the vendor themselves to contribute (09:32:03 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, +1 (09:32:13 PM) lcafiero: +1 (09:32:17 PM) cprofitt: if they want HP or Lenovo to give them Fedora and they order 300 units (09:32:19 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, except I worry about them too - I see a computer lab full of fc3 machines (09:32:21 PM) cprofitt: they will get that effort (09:32:41 PM) inode0: yes, the short life is not a good fit (09:32:48 PM) cprofitt: MadBus, I worry about that as well... (09:33:03 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, I like your train of thought though (09:33:08 PM) cprofitt: I think the budget crisis will impact a lot of schools (09:33:15 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, if we could show a vendor a market already exists (09:33:20 PM) cprofitt: and they will be looking for a way off the Apple/Microsoft train (09:33:23 PM) MadBus: (and in my opinion it does) (09:33:46 PM) MadBus: heh, online petition! (09:33:49 PM) inode0: a vendor needs time to test, produce, get into supply channels, sell, and it is EOL (09:33:52 PM) StabbyMc: cprofitt: I think cent is likely a better candidate, at least for their infrastructure. (09:33:58 PM) cprofitt: and the issue I see is that the non-technical administrative folks are scared of going off the track (09:34:05 PM) cprofitt: StabbyMc, for the servers I agree (09:34:09 PM) MadBus: StabbyMc, Cent doesn't have much in terms of bells and whistles (09:34:15 PM) cprofitt: for the desktops... maybe not (09:34:24 PM) StabbyMc: Agreed, for many of the things the students would want, Fedora would be nicer. (09:34:27 PM) cprofitt: though Fedora is a little bleeding edge (09:34:33 PM) MadBus: not enough to attract consumer PC buyers (09:34:33 PM) cprofitt: for some I guess (09:34:44 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, maybe a vendor re-spin (09:34:50 PM) MadBus: that could work great if they contribute upstream (09:35:09 PM) cprofitt: If a major vendor would offer Fedora then the administrative non-technical people might stop being scared (09:35:22 PM) MadBus: lol, good point (09:35:23 PM) cprofitt: exactly MadBus (09:35:32 PM) cprofitt: Like Dell with Ubuntu -- (09:35:42 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, very yes (09:35:42 PM) cprofitt: they offer the media codecs and such (09:35:43 PM) inode0: isn't going to happen (09:36:00 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, Dell + Ubuntu is a great example (09:36:00 PM) cprofitt: inode0, if we can get the schools to ask it might (09:36:17 PM) StabbyMc: There's a reason RHEL came into being, and it was Dell, IBM, HP, Oracle and many others who pushed for it. (09:36:24 PM) MadBus: we need to find the right carrot to put in front of the donkey (09:36:47 PM) crossbytes: k12 needs to be worked on... (09:36:55 PM) cprofitt: I know from my discussions with my HP and Lenovo reps they said they would do it if a school asked for it... (09:37:10 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, kewl!! (09:37:18 PM) cprofitt: my problem is that my 'administrator' looks at me like I have horns growing out of my head when I suggest FOSS (09:37:23 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, I think Google might actually help us here (09:37:25 PM) ***inode0 will believe it when he sees it (09:37:37 PM) cprofitt: inode0, I agree it is a long shot... (09:37:38 PM) StabbyMc: do it = install it, or do it = support it?

(09:39:08 PM) MadBus: cprofitt, and mention the free part for their IT staff (09:39:16 PM) cprofitt: and talk to larger city schools about how Linux (Fedora) and FOSS software closes the digital divide (09:39:16 PM) StabbyMc: cprofitt: I just think it's a hard sale as fedora needs care and feeding and has a shelf life of about a year. k-12 lab administrators like stuff like XP that's been around for how long? ...

(09:42:00 PM) cprofitt: yeah LTSP is a very strong choice as schools move aware from individual work stations, but I think with the low cost of the netbooks they are looking at 1 to 1 ideas again (09:42:03 PM) inode0: I don't want to cut off the discussion but I do want to end the meeting ... feel free to continue here or in #fedora-ambassadors this discussion (09:42:07 PM) StabbyMc: cprofitt: City of Atlanta shelled out big $$ on eqiupment, and then again on consultants because they just don't have the skills on staff.

Message-ID: <641284.86765.qm@web94708.mail.in2.yahoo.com> Hi to all, The fedora project is running for such a long period but I don't understand why nobody figured out that free media program need some updates / corrections. I would suggest the following : 1) The free media group member should be given the facility to select the locations which he/she can serve, with at least one mandatory location, which will be the location where he/she is residing. 2) There should be an automated system which will send the details of the person requesting for free media to the free media provider, if the free media provider and the person requesting for free media are located in the same state or if the requester comes under the location opted by the member. I don't think everyone will be able to spend time in searching for the person belonging to their state or comes under the location opted by them. 3) If the free media group member is inactive for two months or if he is not processing the request of his location, a reminder should be send to him, and if the free media group member still does not respond within 1 month of reminder, his membership should be suspended. Without the above said features/options, freemedia group member is same as inactive fedora ambassador. This is what I think. comments awaited. sunil datta --- On Sun, 5/4/09, susmit shannigrahi wrote: > From: susmit shannigrahi > Subject: Re: [Ambassadors] Re: [Fedora-freemedia-list] Re: [Fedora Freemedia] #1200: Jaydeep Prasad from INDIA wants a i386 DVD. > To: fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > Date: Sunday, 5 April, 2009, 9:57 AM > On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 9:41 AM, sunil > datta > wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I will suggest that freemedia tickets forwarded to > freemedia provider should be forwarded depending upon the > region where freemedia provider lives.

In short words (translated) they asked me if it's possible to get somebody (or a group) who is willing to "announce" the FWN weekly in German in the radio of that Linux station in a five-minutes-cast. I know that there are a bunch of german speaking Ambassador who're only reading that list and I want to ask who will participate in that "new sub-Project" which I think is really new. Personally I think there should be a group of 5 to six people who are willing to work together, translate the FWN (maybe have some additional region informations) and record them to a hearable stream in the requested format and transfer that to the station. It is imho important that we fullfill that request, because it's important to be "heared" and we have the possibility to "show up" weekly in a 5 minutes session but "YES, we can ....!" ... instead of other Groups, Projects and Distributions which are not as organzied as the EMEA AMbassador and also Marketing Team. At the moment I have Christoph Wickert and Yannik Stadelmaier who are helping. Anybody else???

To all who read my mail, I want to ask that did I ever said that I am interested in their personal affairs. No man, I just want the help those who face problem with linux (of course my knowledge will be a limit of my help). And I was trying to ease the process and you said welfare, dignity, what is this man. And for your information, when I receive a request for someone regarding media, I also get the address, i said home address, so, now what. So, I again request you to read my request mail which i send earlier, with a cool mind. REGARDS Sunil Datta Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!

I believe that what you intend to do is change the email id that you used to subscribe to the mailing list and where all the mails from the mailing lists are received. If this is what you want then please follow these steps 1) Go to this page [1] 2) Scroll to the bottom of the page 3) You will find this line: "To unsubscribe from Fedora-ambassadors-list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options enter your subscription email address:" 4) Enter your current email id and slick on the button that says "Unsubscribe or edit options" 5) Next you will be asked for the password. Enter your password for the list and click login 6) On top you will find this: "Changing your Fedora-ambassadors-list membership information" 7) Read the instructions and you can change your email id or name by providing them and clicking the :change my address and name" 8)If you want to change the email id for all the fedora or redhat lists you have subscribed to, then check the "change globally" box. If you face any problem, do not hesitate to contact.

What did you think about the formula and what was your impression of our comments and questions? >From my perspective my goal was primarily to have a time when ambassadors could meet members of FAmSCo and talk about anything. Getting acquainted being as important or more important than producing an action item. I wish more NA ambassadors had come - we have quite a number of busy ambassadors now and not many of them attended this meeting. I did what I am often known to do, asking a question that doesn't easily lend itself to an answer hoping for some discussion about an area that might be considered grey. People receiving such questions might find them frustrating and some bystanders may not see any point to them, and I apologize to any who feel that way. Not getting to spend much time with FAmSCo this sort of discussion helps me understand how FAmSCo members think about their roles and responsibilities. I was hoping to be able to hear more from members of FAmSCo that I haven't been able to have much, if any, interaction with in the past. So I'm disappointed that I didn't get to meet some of the other members of FAmSCo. Anyway, sometimes things don't work out the way one hopes but something else good can still come from them so I am hoping that is the case here.

As I understand it Fedora media distribution has really three sources. (1) The FreeMedia Program: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia This is designed to help Fedora contributors get Fedora into the hands of people who have either economic or network hardships that make it difficult for them to acquire media for themselves directly. Pretty packaging of the media isn't an objective, although each contributor can handle that however they choose. If volume is a problem in your area the best solution is to recruit more contributors to the program to ease the burden on each contributor and to get as many requests for media satisfied as possible. (2) The Sponsored Media Program: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/SponsoredMedia This program gives one the opportunity to fund free Fedora media produced by a vendor to distribute through the Free Media Program. (3) Pressed Event Media: This is normally intended to be very high quality in terms of production value and is funded normally by the Fedora Project for use by Fedora contributors at events where they are representing/promoting Fedora. So if you are attending events where you are handing out Fedora media you can request a supply of these through whatever process exists in your region. Periodically the question comes up as to why we don't use this same media and packaging for the Free Media Program? Some people think we should, at one time I thought that way myself. There are a couple of things to think about here. The Free Media Program is a way for individual contributors to help others acquire Fedora. Part of this contribution is providing the media itself, the postage required, and the time to transfer the bits to the media. This is a very personal way to contribute and in a way that makes this a special program to me now. When you contribute some code to a package you generally don't know who you are helping. When you spend a few minutes preparing Free Media for Bob in Topeka, you know exactly who you are helping. It is pretty much logistically impossible to produce fancy pressed media and distribute it in small amounts to hundreds of people around the world so they can use it for the Free Media Program. This would be very expensive for the project. To everyone who recently burned a few CDs or DVDs that they could spare, wrote Fedora 10 on them with a Sharpie, and mailed them off to someone they have never met through the Free Media Program please do not feel uncomfortable with the "production value" of the media you shared with others. All contributions to this program are acts of generosity and kindness to others and I think it is one of the very best examples of why the Fedora community is so great to be a small part of.

He is good in navigating with the handphone thus thinking he can try out computer but realized he is lost in other OS windows environment and also poor man like him cannot afford all expensive commercial licenses and etc. That is where Fedora 10 + LXDE being introduced to him, an hour of familiarize the UI with him, now he is happy and have no issue - he comment that the "Add/Remove Software" is good, he just need that to find software :-) > > He is now telling his local pub friends, of Fedora Linux. > > If you don't try, you will never know. +1 -- Best Regards, Jason Singapore Fedora Ambassador http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jason_Benedict_Low VoIP = sip:jasonbenedict at fedoraproject.org ------ When i work nobody care.

The only way I've been able to keep media looking static across the board was doing one of two ways. (#1) Making sure your burner is lightscribe capable and buying optical media (CD-R/DVD-R) to match. (Those are the ones that look the same on both sides making it a PIA when burning if not paying attention when taking out of canister). (#2) Buying a kit that comes w/ 8 1/2 x 11 (US meas) stickers where part is perferated representing the CD and also containing a round platter dealie with a push center to afix label evenly on media. It works great (label goes right into tray) in laser printers and allows you to purchase whatever media is on sale... The only one that does not work from a price point is the media where top portion is already white, may work if you have good handwriting (steady hand) and non-smear marker but mainly requires special Epson printer w/ feed tray that CD fits in. Other than that, it really is inconsequential because John summed it all up perfectly... -david.

For Fedora events that have budget, the responsible Ambassador could have them drop shipped directly to them. Heck, you could even do a different design for each event, making them collectable even -- 'Fedora @ SCALE 7x' etc. In any case, I think this is a great idea.

Birla Institute of Technology (www.bitmesra.ac.in) is a premier engineering college located in Mesra which is around 25 Kms from Ranchi - The state capital of Jharkhand (Formerly a part of Bihar). We organize a year round event consisting of Lectures and Workshops under the banner of Community Learning Programs. The audience for these workshops and lectures include students, teachers and IT proffessionals from Ranchi area. This year we are planning to hold better lectures and workshops especially in the field of Linux administration, Networking and Virtualization. We already have had a good number of workshops on Linux with the help of the student community of our college but it would be better to have them conducted by experts :-).For this purpose we need good and knowledgeable speakers who can come to the campus of Birla Institute of Technology and give talks and conduct workshops. The travelling costs of the visiting speakers (from India) will be covered by us and will be provided with standard boarding and lodging facilities in the Campus Guest house. cheers, Debjit Fedora India Ambassador https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dkd903 email: dkd903 at gmail.com phone: +919204482409 From fugolini at fedoraproject.org Wed Apr 8 13:16:16 2009 From: fugolini at fedoraproject.org (Francesco Ugolini) Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 15:16:16 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAmSCo meeting reminder - Thursday 9th 20.00 UTC Message-ID: Next FAmSCo weekly meeting will be on Thursday 9th at 18.00 UTC in #fedora-meeting.

During the next week, along with the other regional meetings, we will be able to give a more concrete approach on this issue. We will use all the ideas given, in all the way we could guarantee community unity with straightforward policies, taking care of all feedbacks. You clearly said that the actual system isn't working in the way you, NA community, are thinking, and, I'm sure, we need to take care of those ones. Just give FAmSCo the possibility to continue the Regional Meetings initiative in order to understand what the other community think is the future.

The volunteers went to the rooms of the people who requested installation and served the request. It was spread over a period of 1 week and done by different volunteers. There is some record, but not enough.

We will discuss with the most active contributors from Europe, Middle East and Africa about what they need and how to improve their experience. During the previous meeting with NA contributors (take a look at the previous emails in the list), we have discussed about (mainly): 1) What FAmSCo can do for your region? 2) What kind of FAmSCo do you want? Many suggestions were collected: those ones underlined the importance of this initiative towards a better approach with the community. I invite all the interested to suggest topics, in order to have an agenda and better address all the issues.

Some regions have built an Event Kit (see NA and, somehow, EMEA), you should ask your Regional Contact in order to get more information on such issue. If you minded a kit for each ambassadors (not a shared one), it was discussed in the past but was investigation didn't move forward (i think due to the costs and/or lack of volunteering).

Essentially, I think we can get the sleeves done first, then the CD order can happen afterward. I'm not sure what else we can do but wait for the deadline to come. I can mention it to the fedora-art-list as well (now cc'd) so they can start looking to making the art. But I think since it'll likely be based upon the desktop background (which is looking awesome btw), I think it'll be easy to complete.

I was testing fedora 11 beta and they have disabled the tap option in the touchpad of my laptop. This was a major concern in fedora 9 and many of the users were annoyed and some even turned away from fedora. In 10 it was enabled by default, but 11 it is disabled.

There are a few suggestions: 1. Contacting national dailies like Times of India, Telegraph, The Hindu, etc. & giving out press releases & information on GNU/Linux. 2.Mass marketing the regional language support for small businesses & home use like Microsoft does. Giving out advertisements is a must. 3.Having tutorial DVD distributions for budding coders & bug trackers on the lines of the Sun starter packs.

Giving out advertisements is a must. Microsoft has million dollars to do this. We use a cost-efficent and effective activity with Ambassadors, that are covering events everywhere.

Simply, they introduce, in a human-friendly way, Fedora to the world. They give the possibility to have a first look of what was done in the previous 6 months and have people ready to give community the first support for installation and explanation of all/most of the features. - What can we do? Like the past releases, we have to create something really special to cheer the new release: a worldwide initiative, marked for its distinctive signs, that mix both the knowledge and party sides. - Can I hold a Release Event? What I have to do? Sure. Just add your event in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents. According to the release schedule, we encourage to have such events in the first 2/3 weeks after the release (May 26th, to stay sure, add a week). During the next weeks I'll let you know about the other aspects connected with this initiative (swags, meetings etc.).

Just a thought :) A true evangelist is one who eats the dogfood and yet can explain in simple terms what makes the dogfood so enticing. So, it is a good catch !

I know it will probably not make the F11 release but this could be a project geared towar f12 and on. Also we could include non video goods as well such as audio tracks interviewing people like say Max or Paul should they want to be a part of it. Also text interviews focusing on the power of Fedora. I know there is a wealth of information out there that is so cool about what makes Fedora different and most users never see it or even know about it thus they can not truly appreciate the power of Fedora. I think an important note I should add is this is not a Fedora is better then your distro project this is merely a way to show the finer points of Fedora and let the community decide for themselves which is better in their eyes. thanks, Andy IRC Nick: ajamison5579 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iJwEAQECAAYFAknkuq4ACgkQh7SjI2F18kN2MgP/U2YsdVa0+EtM/3Eg2XrxLKtn 6fgd5ptoWpAB0gFxohcOnY3IbYxgFM5FI16BTaVKMDhJC1Z7Ph3hf3lr6ST5SyY+ zSbiG6O9ICTvvzyzrIJczSL+H5mXfYa0v6MGE9eCK8dWCBVjsKVvedg/K10a1oh1 Ldh6P9gCdYbbR+kRiv0= =IGbm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From maxamillion at gmail.com Tue Apr 14 16:47:05 2009 From: maxamillion at gmail.com (Adam Miller) Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:47:05 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: Fedora 11 talking points In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I wouldn't consider it so much a help to Fedora users, but an interesting topic to discuss how fedora is continuing to move forward and innovate in an open manner.

If you limit the meaning of the word "user" to desktop users, then it's most likely not going to offer much value to them. But the talking point states that Moksha is "for architects and futurists", of which we have quite a lot in our user base. Switching to F11 will make it easier for them to build things in Moksha, because they can install all the necessary bits easily. > cheers, > Debjit Regards, Christoph From mgautier at fedoraproject.org Tue Apr 14 21:42:31 2009 From: mgautier at fedoraproject.org (Matthieu Gautier) Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:42:31 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora Spirit videos In-Reply-To: <27a6293b0904140513w5a612ecfm3d2b64b754ba91b3@mail.gmail.com> References: <49E3C5C0.3050103@blogmethat.net> <27a6293b0904140513w5a612ecfm3d2b64b754ba91b3@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <49E50347.8040209@fedoraproject.org> Mar?a Leandro a ?crit : > Hello > > I did some videos a few months ago, can I help with that? > > http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/fedora-videos/ > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNLIUGvMWko <= 4 f's spanish version > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od8Utt6anLw <= fudcon > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci2DhmjqWt0 <= 4f's english version > > Hello, I have just made a technical demo of a scripted svg. http://mgautier.fedorapeople.org/anim-fed.svg It is just a try, to see if it possible to have a "video like" in svg.

We will discuss with the most active contributors from Europe, Middle East and Africa about what they need and how to improve their experience. During the previous meeting with NA contributors (take a look at the previous emails in the list), we have discussed about (mainly): 1) What FAmSCo can do for your region? 2) What kind of FAmSCo do you want? Many suggestions were collected: those ones underlined the importance of this initiative towards a better approach with the community. I invite all the interested to suggest topics, in order to have an agenda and better address all the issues.

Obviously this is the result of the latest changes in the trademark guidelines that were driven by the Fedora Advisory Board and Paul Frields. As I stated earlier in this thread, I *do* see the need for local communities very well, but after the discussion back in January I was under the impression that the common position was to first of all enhance fedoraproject.org. I wonder why things have changed and when this was discussed in public. Can somebody please point me to the relevant mails, irc logs or whatever? Let's face it: ATM the changes have caused confusion and discomfort in the Fedora community. For example fedora.de has been taken offline because of discrepancies between the trademark holder and the domain owner. Robert as the domain owner is a well known and valuable contributor of the project and all AFAIK all he did was redirecting to fedoraproject.org. Things like these are hard to understand. There might be good reasons, but IMO the board does a bad job ATM in communicating their views to the outside world.

Robert as the domain owner is a well known and valuable > contributor of the project and all AFAIK all he did was redirecting to > fedoraproject.org. Well, that's more or less correct. I'm the owner of fedora.de since 2005. Before November 2007, the domain was just redirecting to fedoraproject.org. Once static fedoraproject.org sites came up and got translatable, I did this and served a copy of the German static fedoraproject.org sites via the domain fedora.de - I asked the webteam for the "OK", but yes, they are no laywers, too. The pages are slightly modified to technically run on another host and point out that it's just a copy/mirror at the contact page. And they're using German URLs, /mithelfen/ rather /join/ to make things better to remember for German users. In March 2009, I got a very long e-mail by Paul together with a trademark agreement, which is is written in legalese-english. It's a contract, that can be terminated by both sides without any reason and if terminated, the domain in subject has to be transfered to Red Hat. There are lots and lots of paragraphs extending that, and how to use, not being disrespectful etc. But there are also paragraphs, that say, that I've to use TM, (c) and (r) after the first important usage of Fedora and so on. All that are things, the current static pages of fedoraproject.org violates against. Fedora is violating, I have to fix such stuff when serving a slightly modified copy of the pages - a typical broken thing from legal. Another paragraph e.g. is forcing me to put "Official Fedora Project page" link into footer and/or header of each page (note, that translating that string is not allowed). I was pointing out in the past at the contact page that fedora.de is a copy/ mirror and not more, but modifying stuff all the time is inacceptable and indiscutable for me. A single page pointing that out is much enough. As I didn't sign the agreement until now, from the legal perspective, it is safest to take the whole page/site offline, once such a possible trademark violation gets pointed out (according to Paul, the old trademark guidelines forbidd the Fedora logo usage outside of Fedora). Paul luckily understood my situation and is working together with Red Hat Legal in order to solve this issue hopefully. This is now more than one month ago and as far as I know, Paul is currently on vacation until next week or so. Note that all my cognitions and knowledge about the agreement, I'm forced to sign by Red Hat Legal with a deadline, is just from my understanding of the legalese-english document. So I maybe misunderstood things, but I am also still waiting since more than one month for a German understandable translation. Main indention of such a trademark agreement is, that if I tomorrow get a user, fedora.de not redirects to them or that I sell the domain away and it is used for other things. Red Hat tries even here to protect the domains and (obviously) doesn't want to take the domain for their own usage, but the agreement is written the wrong way - at least from my point of view. If a Fedora-related domain gets known to people to be Fedora-related (such as me), that is a "status" that should be kept now and in the future, according how I have understood Paul; but not mentioned that way in the agreement (at least I was not able to read it there). Fazit: If you ever register a domain name that uses the trademark name of Fedora inside and make it Fedora Project related, Red Hat Legal forces you to sign that agreement - independent, whether it's a redirect domain or really content such as a community or just mirroring some Fedora stuff... As long as I don't appy and I'm not able to fully understand the trademark agreement, Red Hat Legal wants me to sign, the domains fedora.de and fedora.tel (yes, I am owning that one as well) will stay disabled and/or get not in touch with the Fedora Project. Each day, about 1000 of direct requests to fedora.de will end at a dummy page (& ~ 10000 direct requests per day to fedora.de around and especially after Fedora releases)... I'm really pissed, but still hope that Paul comes up with something soon.

At this time being involved in several entities that have one or more fedora domain names registered, I can only say that you are not alone in your perceptions that this legal document is slightly twisting our arms as well as restricting us in translations of strings the binding contract wants to see mentioned, but... I can also assure you that concerns raised are handled with care and that the twisting of arms as we percieve it is anything *but* deliberate and completely unintentional. I would also like to mention that it is ultimately us that want these contracts to be signed, so that Red Hat Legal may finally act against *abuse* of the registered trademark, by sites such as the former fedorasolved.com which used to be a site with an anti-Fedora messages on it -if you know what I mean, but has now transferred in ownership to Fedora Unity. Last I'll say in this thread.

Like I said, the intention is to work with us, so that we are protected (e.g. Red Hat is able to protect us, the legitimate users of the Trademark). If this first attempt fails in doing so, in our opinion, we can express concerns and make suggestions and have the document improved. This should be our goal, as a collective, to achieve a goal we pursue (a protected Trademark with enforceable policies with all the freedoms legitimate use requires). -Jeroen From fhornain at gmail.com Fri Apr 17 11:16:58 2009 From: fhornain at gmail.com (Frederic Hornain) Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:16:58 +0200 Subject: Yet another website?

And well... +1 with Jeroen But for my part I thing we have to do it together even if Fedora trademark is owned by RH. I mean not only RH itself, F Ambassadors, etc... but every Fedora communities inside the Fedora community. Nonetheless behind these points is hidden a bigger problem. ORGANIZATION Rem : *Ok, I perfectly understand the fact as Fedora is based on Volunteering so it is not always easy to manage due to the fact for instance peoples move from one project to another, people do not have always time to do tasks and so on In addition, I also perfectly understand it is not an easy task. ;) And so really thanks to them who have taken this in charge.* In order to explain my point of view let's go back to the subject of this post. The management of these agreements (domains, users, swags, logos, budjets etc...). For instance, if I am RH and I have to sign an agreement for such or such subject with such and such people in a country you will have a bunch of possibilities -see below - NUMBER OF COUNTRY x NUMBER OF AGREEMENTS x NUMBER OF PEOPLES = BUNCH OF POSSIBILITIES And just a question do you have people to manage that bunch of possibilities ? So Why did not do like this ? RH sign every year democraticly an Generic Agreement with one persone or a group(with every person in that group) in one Country. then you have the following formula : 195 COUNTRIES - Well, I thing. Sorry for those I forgotten- x 1 AGREEMENT x 1 People or Group = 195 POSSIBILITIES Much easier to maintain. :) RH followed already that principle and had taken the good decision several month ago to split his mono block Fedora in few entities. e.g. I mean Max for EMEA for example. But ASIA-PACIFIC, AMERICAS, EMEA are always too generic. So why did not do that ? Sorry in advance if I wrote somting wrong but I can not know everything. You know I am not the shadow man. :) BR Fred On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 12:10 AM, Jeroen van Meeuwen wrote: > On 04/16/2009 07:42 PM, Robert Scheck wrote: > >> On Thu, 16 Apr 2009, Christoph Wickert wrote: >> >>> Let's face it: ATM the changes have caused confusion and discomfort in >>> the Fedora community. >>> >> >> Well, that's more or less correct. >> > > At this time being involved in several entities that have one or more > fedora domain names registered, I can only say that you are not alone in > your perceptions that this legal document is slightly twisting our arms as > well as restricting us in translations of strings the binding contract wants > to see mentioned, but... > > I can also assure you that concerns raised are handled with care and that > the twisting of arms as we percieve it is anything *but* deliberate and > completely unintentional. > > I would also like to mention that it is ultimately us that want these > contracts to be signed, so that Red Hat Legal may finally act against > *abuse* of the registered trademark, by sites such as the former > fedorasolved.com which used to be a site with an anti-Fedora messages on > it -if you know what I mean, but has now transferred in ownership to Fedora > Unity. > > Last I'll say in this thread. > > Kind regards, > > Jeroen van Meeuwen > -kanarip > > > -- > Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list > Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list > -- ----------------------------------------------------- Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com Olpc mailing list olpc-open at laptop.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The latest meeting was hold on April 16th 2009 on #fedora-ambassadors Attendees: Francesco Fugolini Max Spevack Joerg Simona Susmit Shannigrahi Mathieu Bridon Regreted attendees: Rodrigo Padula David Nalley Meeting agenda : 1) What FAmSCo can do for your region? 2) What kind of FAmSCo do you want? 1. Open Issues Francesco started by asking people what they want from think about FAmSCo. However, there were few people attending the meeting. Max then asked Thomas about the past Solution Linux event and the wishes of the French community for next Solution Linux. Thomas answered that FAmSCo respond in an appropriate manner to our requests as the French community was able to achieve all the dreams is has for the event. The only wishes they have is about the relationship with Red Hat France that could be improved. As the first contacts between the French community and RH happened few weeks before Solution Linux, it seems understandable according to Thomas that this year was not THE year. 2) What kind of FAmSCo do you want? Francesco then asked the attendance what they think about the proposal of NA ambassadors about the future of FAmSCo, i.e. a FAmSCo composed of one person for each big community (NA, LATAM, EMEA, APAC). The attendance either agreed or did not answered the proposal. The issue is going to be discussed widely then. Francesco asked about the Budget to Max. Max confessed having troubles with budget for NA because of the difficulties to have meeting with them. Francesco adjourned the meeting. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I was joking, don't mind. :) The motive was not to disturb an existing page of such importance and once the new page is edited, re-edited and done, copy the improvements over to the new page. However, now I noticed that both point to the same page. ;) > Maybe I missed some thing in the thread when this was discussed (it > might be because it was a reply to a digest, which I don't read), if > so, I'm sorry.

Colleges interested in Fedora Message-ID: Hey All, GREETINGS OF THE DAY! Well, here is a little news, that is bright for us, a few Engg. Colleges in Mumbai, are keenly interested in going ahead, and having at least 1 Full Fledged Open Source Lab. ;) And through my contacts, i went ahead and pushed Fedora for the setup, currently the pipeline is at the "talks level", but is very optimistic. We can look at a time frame of say the mid of may for the ball to be rolling or even before that. We will need the following during the setup phase:- 1. Complete setup guides, for novice users, which can be given to the lab incharges, along with network install guides and setup disks / Images. 2. A technical support hand a place where they can post their queries and interact. 3. And (only if required) someone who can actually go to these colleges and help during the setup. Post the setup of the labs, i expect there to be a requirement of say a training programme for students, in these colleges, or maybe (please pardon my ignorance) something like a fedora camp, or say a fedora centre for Open Minds, etc. Be setup in these colleges... i'm not aware of such programs and would request information from the mentors, on how to go about such a scenario. Hope fully this development will bring us closer to our common goal J.

Some details regarding artwork still need to be resolved and pricing for larger quantities is desired since we cross the pain point at 500 and then per piece cost is quite small. Update to follow when final details are known. - tattoos were discussed, both the "Empowered By" and standard logo designs. We are in a similar position here needing to finalize artwork and get a quote on larger volume. We hope to resolve these issues quickly. - Discussion of pens seemed controversial. Enough dissention that we tabled pens for the time being to focus on things we all agree on. - herlo updated us about banners, this is getting close to complete. Details about when we can purchase and whether we'll spread it across multiple quarters to follow soon. - LFNW funding discussed. Flexibility given to event owner if they can't quite meet the budget. Some concerns raised about our process in this regard and we'll work on developing a more clear and transparent event budget process in the future. * Tasks [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks] - No report * Open Floor - No discussion items I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.

I think u answered my question.. from release to release (08:19:10 PM) ke4qqq: if it's less than 1000 we should do that (08:19:17 PM) herlo: DemonJester: ahh, okay (08:19:18 PM) ke4qqq: IMO (08:19:22 PM) DemonJester: inode0: I agree, I get requests for these all of the time (08:19:25 PM) inode0: looks like about $80/500 (08:19:55 PM) ***herlo wants some +1s for the 2000 in quantity ($680) (08:20:26 PM) dthomasdigital: +1 and no problem getting a quote on 5000 (08:20:28 PM) DemonJester: +1 for the 2000@$680 but would like higher qty.. (08:20:30 PM) ***inode0 wants larger options but would +1 2000 if that is my only choice (08:20:38 PM) ke4qqq: I'll give you a +1 for 2000, provided he tries for getting 5000 for 1000 bucks (08:20:45 PM) crossbytes: +1 (08:20:50 PM) leitz: +1 for larger (08:21:03 PM) lcafiero: I agree +1, but I'm also interested in a higher number. (08:21:06 PM) ke4qqq: 5000 is nothing IMO - well burn that in no time (08:21:16 PM) DemonJester: ke4qqq: I totally agree (08:21:56 PM) dthomasdigital: Just sent an email requesting a quote for 5000 units. (08:21:56 PM) herlo: do we know how much those are? (08:22:04 PM) herlo: dthomasdigital: add 10k too (08:22:19 PM) inode0: we can't afford 10k I'm sure this quarter (08:22:22 PM) dthomasdigital: herlo you read my mind (08:22:38 PM) herlo: inode0: well, if I can't get the rest of the stuff done before eoq we sure can (08:22:44 PM) herlo: and I'm really struggling... (08:22:54 PM) inode0: we have other items in the queue too (08:22:58 PM) inode0: but ok (08:23:08 PM) herlo: inode0: true, but I was looking to spend about $1k (08:23:18 PM) herlo: not including media :) (08:23:21 PM) inode0: since others aren't present let me discuss tattoos and pens (08:23:28 PM) leitz: on 10K, maybe split payment so we can see the quality and the vendor gets an advantage. (08:23:53 PM) inode0: tattoos are mostly ready to go pending art approval - design is in place (08:24:08 PM) DemonJester: link? (08:24:10 PM) ke4qqq: they have TM mark? (08:24:13 PM) ke4qqq: link? (08:24:25 PM) inode0: basically powered by fedora tattoos changed to be empowered by fedora (08:24:55 PM) inode0: nicu provided art that is being modified to meet necessary requirements (08:25:52 PM) ke4qqq: while I really like nicus work, I also want to see the art before we spend the money (08:25:57 PM) ***inode0 looks for link (08:26:26 PM) inode0: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-April/pngSzYYTMEBc9.png (08:27:06 PM) inode0: so the price on 5000 of these runs only in the neighborhood of $300, I requested a quote for 10K on them (08:27:09 PM) ke4qqq: no TM there... (08:27:19 PM) lcameron_: +1 I like that (08:27:20 PM) ke4qqq: but I like the design (08:27:22 PM) inode0: ke4qqq: don't worry, this isn't final art - just the design (08:27:27 PM) ninjazjb_: looks good (08:27:35 PM) lcafiero: This is for the tattoo? (08:27:39 PM) inode0: yes (08:27:41 PM) dthomasdigital: empowered by fedora slogan rules (08:27:45 PM) ke4qqq: so two questions - is the white really going to be white? (08:27:51 PM) ke4qqq: or just clear? (08:27:58 PM) ke4qqq: and thats my two questions :) (08:28:10 PM) ***DemonJester would prefer something more tribal but that is because I already have a few of the real deal ;) (08:28:18 PM) inode0: I don't know, nicu requested details and I haven't heard back on them (08:29:05 PM) inode0: but that can all be worked out - for the budget I'm more concerned about pricing tonight (08:29:30 PM) inode0: I see no problem approving the 5000 in any event (08:29:39 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: clear (08:30:05 PM) ***inode0 would not like the f to be clear (08:30:06 PM) ke4qqq: well 1. I don't think that will cut it with logo guidelines and 2. white is offered for free by most places (08:30:16 PM) ***ke4qqq wouldn't wither (08:30:19 PM) ke4qqq: either (08:30:23 PM) ke4qqq: or the fedora name (08:30:28 PM) inode0: nope (08:30:32 PM) ***herlo thinks clear would be cool (except for the f) (08:30:44 PM) herlo: and clear would work in that situation (08:30:44 PM) ***lcafiero agrees with herlo (08:31:12 PM) DemonJester: to be honest I think white would make it look like nothing more than a sticker (08:31:24 PM) dthomasdigital: My son just told me he's ready for his fedora tattoo, (his 11) so they are all ready popular. (08:31:37 PM) herlo: in fact, the tm might not even be a requirement because 1) it wears off 2) it's so small, it'll smudge quickly and 3) nobody will be able to tell what it is anyway (08:31:45 PM) inode0: well, if we just used the fedora logo as originally planned it would just look like a sticker too (08:32:28 PM) ***herlo also argues that the stickers I was working on a while back had the tm on the sticker paper, but wouldn't when removed. mizmo was *ok* with that. (08:32:43 PM) inode0: yes, that is fine (08:32:55 PM) ke4qqq: herlo: mo gave us some options for getting around it, and that wasn't one of them. - the absent when applied/removed from paper worked ok with her (08:33:13 PM) ninjazjb_: if there is no white, will the blue outline smudge faster? (08:33:48 PM) inode0: let's discuss this with davdunc later, he is doing this and is not present here (08:34:09 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: right (08:34:15 PM) ***lcafiero has some of those stickers, I think. They're about 3" in diameter, execpt for where it teardrops at the bottom? (08:34:32 PM) ke4qqq: I have some of the FF tats (08:34:34 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: the options for getting around the stickers seems to apply to the tattoos... (08:34:37 PM) ke4qqq: and iirc they are 2x2 (08:34:44 PM) ke4qqq: herlo: yep (08:35:00 PM) herlo: k, the first part of your statement was confusing :/ (08:35:03 PM) ***inode0 doesn't care about the TM, if the TM police want them we'll add them :) (08:35:13 PM) herlo: right (08:35:16 PM) herlo: +1 (08:35:16 PM) lcafiero: heh (08:35:16 PM) inode0: we don't have a ruling now (08:36:09 PM) ke4qqq: ok - well +1 for moving forward then (08:36:11 PM) inode0: next are pens being investigated by several people including maxamillion (08:36:15 PM) lcafiero: +1 (08:36:44 PM) inode0: bic click stick pens with fedora branding on the barrel and clip seem to run about $300/1000 (08:37:25 PM) inode0: thoughts or comments on pens? (08:37:39 PM) ***jds2001 here, late (08:37:47 PM) lcafiero: I just got back from the MySQL conference and have about 50 pens. They're always useful. (08:38:12 PM) jds2001: lcafiero: s/conference/funeral :( (08:38:15 PM) ke4qqq: -1 to pens (08:38:16 PM) lcafiero: I like the idea of Fedora pens (08:38:32 PM) leitz: Pens--space out swag, Case badges this quarter, maybe pens the next. (08:38:39 PM) ke4qqq: I don't - I keep my fedora pen as a showpiece, but don't use it. (08:38:40 PM) ***lcafiero nods at jds2001 -- right, pretty somber event today. (08:38:56 PM) lcameron_: I think pens are over done... I have tons of promo pens from lan parties (08:38:58 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: the postgres people seemed pretty happy :) (08:39:05 PM) lcafiero: heh (08:39:47 PM) inode0: well, case badges and stickers are overdone too but that doesn't stop us (08:40:06 PM) inode0: swag is limited (08:40:16 PM) lcafiero: that may be lcameron_ but I think they're still good to have available, imho (08:40:22 PM) inode0: pens are one of the few sorts of swag that have an actual use (08:41:02 PM) ke4qqq: tshirts have a use (08:41:07 PM) ke4qqq: stickres have a use (08:41:12 PM) ke4qqq: pins have a use (08:41:16 PM) ke4qqq: :) (08:41:22 PM) inode0: ke4qqq: your objection to pens is what? (08:41:42 PM) lcafiero: those stress balls in the shape of penguins have a use (got some today) (08:41:46 PM) ke4qqq: that they are overdone - that to be effective they are always 'cheap' (08:41:52 PM) inode0: tshirts fill drawers (08:42:00 PM) ke4qqq: I wear fedora shirts all the time (08:42:25 PM) inode0: I use pens all the time, I wear tshirts on occasion (08:42:34 PM) ninjazjb_: mouse pads? (08:43:03 PM) ke4qqq: I'd rather see us do hats than pens....but I'll shut up now (08:43:06 PM) inode0: I see a downside to pens (08:43:15 PM) lcafiero: ooooh, hats. (08:43:26 PM) inode0: they are gobbled up by anyone seeing them (08:43:40 PM) dthomasdigital: I wear my linux journal hat all the time (08:43:41 PM) lcafiero: <---- bald guys like him always need them (08:43:51 PM) DemonJester: how about "New Era Fedora Hats"? (08:44:02 PM) inode0: hats cost more than 30 cents too :) (08:44:14 PM) ***herlo thinks hats are cost prohibitive (08:44:18 PM) lcafiero: sigh . . . good point (08:44:57 PM) leitz: Fewer hats but have business card drawings for them. (08:44:57 PM) ke4qqq: can't imagine it's worse than tshirts, but far more than 30cents (08:45:12 PM) inode0: it is far worse than shits (08:45:18 PM) inode0: bad typo (08:45:19 PM) lcafiero: shirts (08:45:24 PM) lcafiero: heh (08:46:02 PM) inode0: well, maybe not in quantity (08:46:35 PM) inode0: we priced some for the summit in the past and they were prohibitive in small amounts (08:46:55 PM) ke4qqq: so are shirts in small quantities, we had to hit 200 to get decent prices iirc (08:46:56 PM) jds2001: inode0: what did the visors cost? (08:47:11 PM) jds2001: there werent many of those iirc (08:47:17 PM) inode0: jds2001: I'd have to try to remember (08:47:30 PM) inode0: no, we switched to visors because we couldn't afford hats (08:47:43 PM) DemonJester: ke4qqq: 270 shirts to get big discount (08:47:51 PM) jds2001: and the embroiderly is ultra-simple (08:48:17 PM) inode0: right ke4qqq, I'm agreeing hats might be doable in that amount (08:48:45 PM) lcameron_: what about bouncy balls? I got a few from Bawls... they were different (08:48:50 PM) inode0: but we are talking about $1K+ for 300 rather than $300 for 1K (08:49:50 PM) herlo: inode0: nice one, watch your language! (08:49:55 PM) inode0: in any event, hearing objection we'll revisit pens later (08:50:03 PM) lcafiero: +1 (08:50:08 PM) DemonJester: +1 (08:50:14 PM) lcameron_: +1 (08:50:23 PM) inode0: for now, we can focus on getting as many tattoos and badges as we can swing (08:51:04 PM) inode0: herlo: if you are available have any further comment on banners? (08:51:14 PM) lcafiero: actually, leitz's suggestion about spacing swag is a good one. (08:51:33 PM) inode0: next Q we will have big media bills (08:51:51 PM) ***inode0 thinks we have more flexibility this Q (08:53:36 PM) herlo: inode0: sure, I am here but semi-busy (08:53:39 PM) herlo: I'll go fast (08:54:05 PM) ***herlo is struggling with the banners being exported to cmyk, but I think I got it yesterday. Once that's done, we should have retractable banners ordered. (08:54:12 PM) herlo: current target date for ordering is May 1 (08:54:28 PM) inode0: that sounds excellent (08:54:33 PM) herlo: cost is about $300-450/banner depending on style and strength (08:54:47 PM) lcafiero: +1 (08:54:51 PM) herlo: but they fit in a 24" wide by 6" high roll-up (08:55:01 PM) herlo: thus, they'll fit into the eventboxen (08:55:01 PM) ***inode0 +1 to getting them as good as we can (08:55:06 PM) ***ianweller waves (08:55:26 PM) dthomasdigital: When do I need to start asking for support for the event I have coming up in November (sorry to jump the gun.) (08:55:34 PM) inode0: next Q (08:55:41 PM) dthomasdigital: cool (08:55:50 PM) ***herlo points out that costs could be spread through 2 quarters if other items are ordered. I would guess there's going to be a setup charge too, but it should be minimal (08:55:56 PM) herlo: and then we can order more. (08:56:14 PM) herlo: they're going to look like this: http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/art/fedora_four_fs_vertical_banner_330x800.png (08:56:49 PM) inode0: oh, so we could get one in Q1 and another in Q2 (08:56:58 PM) ***inode0 notes more flexibility (08:57:06 PM) ***lcafiero hates that xchat makes him refer to himself in the third person, but he likes the banners a lot (08:57:40 PM) inode0: ok, I'd like to make a couple remarks to wrap this up (08:57:53 PM) inode0: (1) herlo proceed and keep us posted (08:57:59 PM) ke4qqq: on time?? surely you jest (08:58:24 PM) herlo: inode0: yeah, 1 in q1, one in q2, maybe another in q3 (08:58:25 PM) inode0: (2) dthomasdigital get the bigger quotes and we'll arrange to go as big as we can, and get art approval final (08:59:05 PM) inode0: (3) inode0 will contact davdunc about tattoos and see if we can up that to 10K and discuss transparency issues (08:59:10 PM) herlo: ke4qqq: on time? Was that for me? (08:59:21 PM) ke4qqq: no for inode0 lcafiero lcamero (08:59:39 PM) inode0: Moving on from the general budget now to lcafiero's new request lcafiero lcamero (08:59:45 PM) inode0: lcafiero: go ahead (08:59:52 PM) lcafiero: the new request, and I'll be really quick. (09:01:07 PM) lcafiero: A while back, there was discussion whether $750 was enough for LFNW, and quaid and i crunched some numbers for what is now two events -- a talk by quaid and me at Oregon State and LFNW -- and we may go a little over the $750 budget. (09:01:10 PM) lcafiero: Or we may not. (09:02:02 PM) lcafiero: So what I wanted to ask that since the possibility of needing more than $750 was addressed awhile back, if I could have $1,000 allotted instead, with the proviso that any unspent monies will be returned. (09:02:26 PM) inode0: unspent monies aren't leaving :) (09:02:58 PM) lcafiero: True that, inode0 -- what I mean is that we spend $700, there's $50 for the quarter that's available for something else. (09:03:38 PM) lcafiero: I understand from quaid that the number $750 is etched in stone and if we go to $751 or higher, anything over that won't be reimbursed. (09:04:17 PM) ke4qqq: can we see you numbers that you've crunted? (09:04:31 PM) ke4qqq: we have stone etching tool? (09:04:43 PM) lcafiero: I kind of wish quaid was here because we had a worksheet but I can't remember where it is. Let me look (09:04:46 PM) ke4qqq: crunched (09:05:51 PM) lcafiero: right. Looking now, but there was a range of $560 and $820, I think. (09:06:15 PM) lcafiero: Because I undershot on the budgeting, I would have thrown in the $70 on my own. (09:06:30 PM) lcafiero: $750 + 70 = $820 (09:07:48 PM) lcafiero: Rats. I can't find it. (09:08:02 PM) inode0: are there any non-travel expenses here? (09:08:16 PM) lcafiero: quaid, white courtesy phone (09:08:42 PM) inode0: who owns LFNW? (09:08:46 PM) lcafiero: no, there isn't. (09:08:47 PM) lcafiero: me (09:08:55 PM) lcafiero: I own LFNW. (09:08:59 PM) inode0: ok (09:09:18 PM) lcafiero: But it speaks also to the issue of people closer to an event owning it, but I won't bring that up now. (09:10:40 PM) lcafiero: in any case, I was hoping for a buffer, should I go over $750. (09:10:45 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: I don't have problem with more money - but I want us to be transparent - can you put your projected costs up on the wiki? (09:10:56 PM) ke4qqq: doesn't have to be now (09:11:07 PM) lcafiero: Quaid and I had made up a worksheet that for some reason I can't find. (09:11:30 PM) lcafiero: Transparency is good, but I can't provide that (see above) (09:11:38 PM) lcafiero: so I'll just withdraw the request. (09:11:44 PM) ke4qqq: can you do it in the next week (09:11:49 PM) ke4qqq: within the next week (09:11:57 PM) lcafiero: I can probably do it tomorrow morning before we leave. (09:12:04 PM) ke4qqq: or even after the fact (09:12:06 PM) ke4qqq: is fine (09:12:17 PM) inode0: lcafiero: yeah, even after the fact (09:12:42 PM) ke4qqq: there are several reasons - one it helps us plan next year, and two it makes us more transparent (09:12:52 PM) lcafiero: Right. (09:12:57 PM) ke4qqq: seeing that we spent 1700 dollars on OLF last year doesn't tell us anything really (09:13:00 PM) lcafiero: Bear in mind I'm pretty new at this. (09:13:08 PM) inode0: right now we don't even understand what money is being spent on (09:13:10 PM) ke4qqq: knowing that we bought shirts and sponsored OLF does (09:14:00 PM) lcafiero: In LFNW case, it's almost entirely on travel expenses, as opposed to non-travel expenses (i.e., event items, etc.) (09:14:27 PM) lcafiero: So what I'll do is post it on the wiki and on the list for discussion. (09:14:30 PM) ke4qqq: so forgive me, but how many people are traveling? (09:14:33 PM) inode0: ok, consider yourself to have some coverage if you go over - no one cares about that I don't believe (09:14:42 PM) ke4qqq: no we aren't worried about that (09:14:49 PM) ke4qqq: besides our stone etching tools havne't arrived yet (09:14:56 PM) ke4qqq: so it's not big deal :) (09:15:00 PM) lcafiero: I'm actually thinking we can keep it under $750 (09:15:16 PM) ke4qqq: but I do want to learn from what we are spending - and globs don't help that (09:15:28 PM) inode0: try, it helps to be as frugal as possible, but don't worry if you go over a bit (09:15:55 PM) lcafiero: How many are traveling? There's lodging for at least 6, with some doubling up. It's on the worksheet that I can't find at the moment (09:16:04 PM) lcafiero: Then there's food, etc. (09:16:25 PM) ***inode0 steps out for a couple minutes (09:16:26 PM) ke4qqq: if 6 people can travel for 1000 bucks that's awesome! (09:17:10 PM) crossbytes: ? (09:17:15 PM) lcafiero: Kind of. I thought we could do it for less (09:17:28 PM) lcafiero: but I could have underestimated. (09:17:34 PM) lcafiero: ? to me crossbytes? (09:17:39 PM) crossbytes: yes (09:17:41 PM) lcafiero: shoot (09:17:46 PM) ke4qqq: no worries there (09:18:30 PM) crossbytes: this is going to be my first enent to attend ..so i do naot know what I should do when I get there..so will it be wise for to go? (09:18:41 PM) crossbytes: would this helkp with the expenses...? (09:19:00 PM) crossbytes: sorry about the spelling.. (09:20:21 PM) crossbytes: my expenses food/travel/hotel would come to about 85-90 round trip from Vancouver wa (09:20:37 PM) ke4qqq: crossbytes: I'd rahter pay for you to go than quaid (09:20:53 PM) inode0: we don't even pay for food for FUDcon people who are sponsored?! (09:20:56 PM) ke4qqq: you getting the experience is more important (09:21:03 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: we do for some (09:21:15 PM) inode0: Red Hat employees (09:21:50 PM) warren: where is the next fudcon? (09:21:56 PM) ke4qqq: no (09:22:01 PM) ke4qqq: for some others as well (09:22:05 PM) inode0: I don't think we know where it will be (09:22:07 PM) ke4qqq: RH employees we technically don't fund (09:22:15 PM) ke4qqq: warren: Berlin (09:22:27 PM) inode0: they get per diem, others don't unless there are special needs I don't believe (09:22:29 PM) ke4qqq: and after that Brazil (09:23:01 PM) ke4qqq: crossbytes: go, enjoy, and learn. Come back more effective (09:23:08 PM) ke4qqq: don't worry about costs (09:23:14 PM) ke4qqq: (within reason) (09:23:22 PM) inode0: who are the 6 people getting lodging? (09:25:07 PM) inode0: is there a room crossbytes could split with someone? (09:27:02 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: iirc all are sharing a room (09:27:09 PM) inode0: all who? (09:27:14 PM) ke4qqq: all 6 (09:27:19 PM) crossbytes: the 85-90 includes room gas and food/ my wife is attending also... must come to aid in driving just had problems with my sciatica nerve (09:27:23 PM) ke4qqq: who the 6 composed are I don't know (09:28:18 PM) crossbytes: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LinuxFest_Northwest_%28LFNW%29_2009 for who is attending (09:29:01 PM) inode0: I don't know that who is attending and who is getting a room funded by FAmNA is the same list though, that is what I was asking. (09:29:06 PM) lcafiero: sorry (09:29:59 PM) lcafiero: hello? (09:30:06 PM) inode0: we are all still here lcafiero davdunc davej (09:30:44 PM) lcafiero: I was worried about whether I was still here. (09:30:55 PM) inode0: davdunc: are you still here because I'm ready to move back to you rather than make you wait all night? (09:31:08 PM) davdunc: inode0: present. (09:31:19 PM) davdunc: thank you, but I made you wait. (09:31:24 PM) inode0: Let's digress to move back to tattoos briefly to get an update davdunc davej (09:31:41 PM) inode0: davdunc: fill us in on what you know (09:32:11 PM) davdunc: thanks. Artwork is my problem. I have been having a bit of difficulty getting someone to return the logo to me. (09:33:07 PM) ke4qqq: davdunc: what logo do you need? (09:33:14 PM) davdunc: Aztec (formerly Wolf's) Graphics has offered me a discounted quote. (09:33:23 PM) davdunc: Need the symbol. (09:33:53 PM) inode0: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-April/pngSzYYTMEBc9.png (09:34:01 PM) inode0: is it still this one to be modified? (09:35:23 PM) davdunc: that was sort of icing. I wanted to get the symbol from the logo for the 1.5in square tattoo. (09:35:44 PM) davdunc: that is 1.5inx2in. (09:35:47 PM) inode0: so the standard infinity talk bubbly? (09:35:53 PM) inode0: bubble (09:35:53 PM) davdunc: yea. (09:36:04 PM) inode0: that should be easy (09:36:43 PM) davdunc: I thought so. I talked to Nicu and asked for the Logo, he said to request it from logo at fedor... and that has been a three week ordeal. (09:37:18 PM) ke4qqq: davdunc: send me an email (09:37:22 PM) ke4qqq: regarding that (09:38:05 PM) davdunc: now I know that I have not been very pushy when it come this, but I am not sure where I am overstepping my bounds. I mean, I am a newb when it comes to projects in this group. (09:38:08 PM) davdunc: will do. (09:38:21 PM) davdunc: ke4qqq: I will send you an email. thanks. (09:38:33 PM) inode0: can you fill us in on prices and quanitities? (09:39:58 PM) davdunc: the quotes are rough. I haven't given anyone artwork yet, only given them what I have without approval. (09:40:20 PM) davdunc: so roughly $220 for 5,000 tattoos. (09:41:20 PM) inode0: right, rough is good, no quote for 10K yet? (09:41:36 PM) ***inode0 thinks we might want to go 10K (09:42:01 PM) inode0: we had an earlier discussion about the empowered by design (09:42:08 PM) ***leitz has a long drive tomorrow--see you all later. (09:42:36 PM) inode0: everyone liked it but the white or the transparency if that were transparent seemed not so popular (09:43:39 PM) inode0: I think the standard logo might be better? What do others think? (09:44:34 PM) lcafiero: just the logo for a tattoo? (09:44:40 PM) ninjazjb_: night guys (09:44:47 PM) ke4qqq: I like the logo myself (09:44:56 PM) lcafiero: same here (09:44:58 PM) ke4qqq: but I am not really the tat wearing kind (09:45:04 PM) lcafiero: with the f in white, right? (09:45:10 PM) lcafiero: not transparent (09:46:19 PM) ***inode0 thinks he prefers a regular talk bubble in the normal colors (09:46:25 PM) lcafiero: agreed (09:48:04 PM) inode0: ok, I'll ask davdunc then to proceed with getting quotes for 5k and 10k with the standard logo and we'll get it done (09:48:24 PM) davdunc: o.k. (09:48:47 PM) davdunc: I have the logo now. I can move forward with the purchase tomorrow. (09:49:16 PM) davdunc: sorry. the quotes. (09:49:25 PM) ke4qqq: davdunc: it's ok, be bold! (09:49:32 PM) ke4qqq: assume we are going to reimburse you :) (09:50:20 PM) ***lcafiero has to get going, to get ready to travel tomorrow morning. (09:50:24 PM) davdunc: thanks. ke4qqq (09:50:26 PM) inode0: yeah, if it is under $500 for 10k I'd say just order when you are ready (09:50:55 PM) davdunc: O.k. (09:50:57 PM) lcafiero: +1 on tattoos, and I'll even wear one (09:51:33 PM) inode0: ok, open floor until the top of the hour if anyone has anything more? (09:51:37 PM) davdunc: awesome! will follow thorugh with purchase provided the price is right, tomorrow morning. (09:54:13 PM) inode0: hearing nothing shall we wrap? (09:54:36 PM) davdunc: I have what I need. (09:54:36 PM) inode0: hearing nothing inode0 wraps (09:54:41 PM) inode0: 5 (09:54:42 PM) inode0: 4 (09:54:43 PM) inode0: 3 (09:54:45 PM) inode0: 2 (09:54:46 PM) inode0: 1 (09:54:51 PM) inode0: thanks everyone (09:54:54 PM) inode0: EOM From dichi at alfaridi.info Wed Apr 22 04:47:17 2009 From: dichi at alfaridi.info (Dichi Al Faridi) Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:47:17 +0700 Subject: [Ambassadors] An ambassador from Maldives In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <49EEA155.1070203@alfaridi.info> Neo Reeves wrote: > Hi, > > My name is Sameeh and I am a Fedora ambassador for Maldives.

Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip == Every bit counts. From a single byte to billions of images, from one line of text to a gigantic tangled semantic web of documents, from clay tablets to 3D holographic memory, storage and the means to organize storage have always been important to humanity. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes, it was said; a sailboat crossing the Atlantic still manages rates of a little over 1GB/s end-to-end. A petabyte of storage weighs about as much as a small car, but a large physics experiment can fill that up in less than a week. The modern rate of data production and amount of data storage --and crucially also data search and retrieval-- have pushed the limits of computer storage and the traditional file system further and further back. The NLUUG Spring Conference 2009 focuses on storage and the means to organise it: file systems, physical storage, connections and search. The keynote speaker at the conference will be Ted Ts'o, author of the ext4 file system in Linux and CTO of the Linux Foundation. Other subjects at the conference are DRBD, desktop search and ZFS. The conference is in conference center 'De Reehorst' in Ede, The Netherlands. Information about the full programme and registration can be found at the conference website: http://www.nluug.nl/events/vj09/index.html As always members of NLUUG and sister organisations as well as students get a hefty discount.

Todo lleva su tiempo. En Argentina hoy tenemos una estructura de embajadores y lug en distintas partes del pais, y hace 8 meses eramos 2 embajadores. En muy poco tiempo armamos un grupo que ya tiene 10 - 12 miembros activos durante las reuniones semanales asi como tambien se sumaron 4 embajadores este a?o. Creo que el problema no es que estamos solos, y ojo, que tambien me senti asi hace unos meses atras cuando empec? mi tarea como embajador. Creo que lo principal es estar en el canal #fedora-latam ahi es donde sucede todo... no en #fedora-es, es en fedora-latam donde hablamos de los cds - dvds, remeras, marketing, problemas y soluciones, como vamos a votar la proximas reuniones, que hacer para que podamos estar mejor, ahi es donde se discuten las ideas con tatica, Nushio, Gomix, Rodrigo, y tantos otros... ahi es donde estan los embajadores latam con propuestas y soluciones a los problemas. Cuando se sientan solos, o necesiten ayuda, pueden darse una vuelta y plantear que les sucede. El primer paso siempre es el mas dificil, cuando la rueda empieza a girar es poco probable que se frene.

If the intent is to engage with folks from India, then I think it will be fine. Anything beyond Singapore/Malaysia (UTC+8) means it will be deep into the night.

Hello all, I'm brand-new to the list, this is my first message. It's my normal habit to lurk for a couple of weeks in a new mailing list before joining in discussions; but I don't think I'll have time for that in this instance. I'm in Eastern Australia (Melbourne), and these times put the meeting at either 10pm or 11pm for me. I'm afraid I have existing plans on the evening in question, but may be home in time to join the meeting if it is at UTC1300. Silly question from the newbie, but how would we be meeting? Would this be held in an IRC channel? Regards to all, Nathan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Using comic books to help folks with Linux is a great idea, and you're right, some of the quotation needs amending. But on the whole, it's a good idea.

I can't wait to read some of the blog entries talking about the LFNW event and what our Ambassadors saw, heard, and did at the conference. I would really like to try and make it to next year's show, but in the meantime I'm eager to hear all the raves -- people's reaction to the event seems to be overwhelmingly positive. Maybe in your blog entry you can talk a little about what you think LFNW is doing that makes it such a success, so other community shows can try to duplicate those factors. -- Paul W.

One of the biggest cost in producing the shirts is the digitalization (is this an actual word??) of the logos so I have offered ambassadors in Mexico to have their shirts produced here in Chihuahua since this cost has been already covered. The offer still remains. If you provide me with a ZIP code I could check the shipping cost to beautiful California so you can compare if it is an option for you.

As many of you know, I was a main organizer of Flisol Caracas this year, and also worked with the local Fedora Team on their presentation. The Flisol had an estimated attendance of 1700 people, including 100 installers, 15 protocol and 15 sponsors. We had a hard day with 8 conferences and 12 workshops; as well as the first National tournament of UrbanTerror (a freeware game) and a gpg key sign fest. At the closing, we had the StarWars Club (Darth Vader and one StormTrooper) playing around with the guys. Fedora Venezuela installed a lot of machines and gave out 300 LiveDVDs, 50 bubble stickers and 50 vinyl stickers; and the users were really happy with this. Pablo Hernandez (paceh) gave a workshop about Fedora-USB installations and I gave a Conference about the Fedora Community in Venezuela, and found a lot of new users. I also want to say that we had two major interviews, one on national radio and another on national tv (globovision) and in both of them, Fedora was the centre of attention. This is really good... Next year I'll be the National Organizer and I hope to set up the first Fedora Venezuela General Meeting with all the fedora users in the country. In the mean time, we'll have some workshops at several universities, some stands at national conferences (3 stands) and a special "B-day" for our community. These are some of the photos... but I'm still waiting for more, and the video of the TV appearance. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tatadbb/sets/72157615817707690/ Bye!!! -- tatica Maria Gracia Leandro http://www.tatica.org http://www.iseit.net http://www.latinux.org http://www.latinux.com http://www.fedora-ve.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MariaLeandro LinuxUser= 440285 GPG Public Key: E1CDCC56 "Be yourself...

URL: From renich at woralelandia.com Thu Apr 30 16:58:12 2009 From: renich at woralelandia.com (Renich Bon Ciric) Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:58:12 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] =?utf-8?q?Fedora_M=C3=A9xico?= Message-ID: <1b4d94a30904300958i27f13549qd130f37789ff3831@mail.gmail.com> Hey, guys! Well, I'm a new Ambassador. I'm glad I finally decided to become one and I hope I can do much for the community in my region. Speaking of which, IMHO, M?xico's community is weak regarding inner collaboration. I've reviewed the list and saw many collaborators (not as many as I would like) in M?xico. This is an attempt to bring unity to us. Juan Rodr?guez and Me have set up a facebook website called "Fedora M?xico", which is an extension of Juan's website: http://proyectofedora.org/mexico/ The sole intention is to bring, the mexican community, closer and to be able to collaborate among us to make people more aware of Fedora. Please, we're open to any kind of criticism/suggestion. Feel free to reply and speak your mind! Thanks again! -- It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle!
