There are people who join LUG in hope to learn Linux. Normally LUGs consists of a lot of beginners. These people just use a distro which they see running on their friend's machine or keep asking their LUG administrator about "best Linux". Fedora can create a body which can be trusted far more than a random person writing on a Local LUG mailing list. I am not saying that it will be a sure shot success.

A Fedora Ambassador is expected to work with and within a local LUG and, communicate within the LUG communication channels (mailing lists, wikis, IRC). That's somewhat of a given.

Younger people fall in love with a different distro every week, and they always look for a person to look up and ask about the best distro ever. In the end, most of my friends use the distro they were more likely to get solutions. Usually because there was someone avaliable to help.

Besides some nice features, like an EventCalendar or tracking SWAG/EventBoxes, the idea to set up certain workflows for our Ambassador work, turned out as a very interesting opportunity. As example, the workflow for the Event-Workflow [3] from event calender -> call for participation/paper -> event staffing -> Event-Space -> event material&logistic ...and so on... -> reports, could all be accessed over one interface. To make that happen, we have to consider several platforms with different interfaces and have to integrate processes from the other teams - as example a DesignTeam request for that event. Are there volunteers in Ambassadors who are interessted and can help to make this happen? Are you thinking about other workflows or things that Ambassadors should have on Fedora-Community? Lets collect them and help to build Fedora-Community!

I wouldn't think there is automatic right, as the Ambassador has to be the *Local Contact for Fedora* Is that not why we have @fpo email aliases. - for new joiners the mentors work > torwards the right understanding. +1 From rafaelliu at gmail.com Tue Aug 4 15:35:02 2009 From: rafaelliu at gmail.com (rafaelliu) Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:35:02 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] rafaelliu has invited you to Spacelocker Message-ID: An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(08:03:28 PM) inode0: So one thing we would like to do is to ask/encourage all ambassadors to join (08:03:29 PM) ianweller: from USA? (08:03:42 PM) inode0: and try to fill 2 or 3 requests each month (08:04:02 PM) ***ianweller needs to buy some shipment thingies (08:04:12 PM) inode0: With enough people we can easily handle things without anyone having to shell out $200 a month or work days on end (08:04:22 PM) dthomasdigital: No problem for me consider it done from New Mexico. (08:04:27 PM) ***herlo is here (08:04:43 PM) pcalarco: is there a wiki page for the requests? (08:05:06 PM) inode0: It is really easy and if you think about the smiling recipient of your kindness when he/she opens the mailbox the time doing it goes by fast (08:05:27 PM) VileGent: pcalarco, tracker (08:06:03 PM) inode0: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia (08:06:43 PM) inode0: that is being worked on, shipments were suspended this month while we try to recruit more helpers (08:07:22 PM) inode0: NA isn't the biggest problem by any means, but there are times we don't get to all the requests here too (08:08:10 PM) inode0: You need to remember to check in each month to see the pending requests - they normally come in the first few days each month (08:09:12 PM) inode0: Ok, that was my brief sales pitch for the FreeMedia program - I do think it is a great program and really want it to thrive on individuals giving (08:09:38 PM) inode0: Does anyone else have an announcement? (08:10:12 PM) inode0 has changed the topic to: FAmNA Meeting: Events: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents (08:10:30 PM) inode0: Red Hat Summit update and request ...

(08:13:37 PM) inode0: pcalarco: I'm not entirely sure about that, we need to check with stickster_afk (08:13:59 PM) pcalarco: ok, thanks inode0 (08:14:40 PM) inode0: The request is that we'd like to host a Fedora dinner for the likely 12-15 contributors helping out (08:15:15 PM) inode0: We have a difficult time scheduling that, so might get pizza delivered during booth setup or something like that (08:15:59 PM) herlo: FAD!! (08:16:24 PM) inode0: So I'd like to request funding for the Fedora dinner (guessing it would be $200 - $300 depending) (08:16:40 PM) inode0: FPD - Fedora Pizza Dinner (08:17:10 PM) inode0: Silence will be noted as assent :) (08:17:32 PM) inode0: Can setting up a booth be a FAD? :) (08:18:21 PM) inode0: We'll try to keep the cost down, but it will be really nice to get everyone together for a couple of hours. (08:19:07 PM) inode0: We are still in need of two items, media which is on its way thanks to herlo, and banners which are later on the agenda (08:19:33 PM) inode0: Moving on then: Ohio Linux Fest (08:19:44 PM) ***inode0 is guessing that is VileGent's topic (08:19:57 PM) VileGent: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ohio_Linux_Fest_2009 (08:20:05 PM) VileGent: sign up if you are attending (08:20:11 PM) pcalarco: I added that, actually; doesn't look like we have very many Ambassadors there yet (08:20:35 PM) pcalarco: so just wanted to add a plug for this; we had a great turnout last year (08:20:45 PM) VileGent: pcalarco, well last year was the year we really had the sea of blue before that it was 3-4 of us (08:21:03 PM) pcalarco: ah, ok (08:21:16 PM) inode0: Being the old fashioned FAD last year helped a lot with turnout (08:21:23 PM) VileGent: OLF is proable one of the biggest shows on the east coast (08:21:51 PM) inode0: ke4qqq is going but isn't on that list, others I'm sure are too (08:22:10 PM) VileGent: hopefully my co organizer will resurface soon (08:23:01 PM) ***inode0 suggests poking people to sign up when they mention they are going (08:23:46 PM) VileGent: and i have others who are not ambassadors who i am trying to get to go, so i maybe can get them into being ambassadors (08:23:59 PM) inode0: great (08:24:36 PM) inode0 has changed the topic to: FAmNA Meeting: Budget: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget (08:24:45 PM) VileGent: there are some people wanting rides (08:25:08 PM) inode0: yes, a signup for carpooling (08:25:38 PM) inode0: ready to move on? (08:26:02 PM) pcalarco: aye (08:26:20 PM) inode0: I might be a little more aggressive than usual about moving forward tonight - if I go too fast just yell at me (08:26:58 PM) inode0: New Mexico GNU/Linux Fest Sponsorship has been taken care of - perhaps dthomasdigital would like to say something about the event (08:27:19 PM) dthomasdigital: Well let me start by saying thank you. (08:27:21 PM) inode0: or not, no pressure (08:27:32 PM) dthomasdigital: It's going to be great to have fedora at the fest (08:27:53 PM) inode0: people going should hit the wiki for this one too (08:28:11 PM) dthomasdigital: you can see it's really coming together http://www.newmexicognulinuxfest.org/ (08:28:47 PM) dthomasdigital: I'm making the big announcement in here tonight and it's official. (08:29:04 PM) inode0: ooh (08:29:30 PM) dthomasdigital: Our keynote speaker will be Richard Stallman! (08:29:42 PM) ***inode0 applauds (08:29:56 PM) pcalarco: +1 (08:30:10 PM) dthomasdigital: of course the big news is inode0 is speaking too. (08:30:30 PM) herlo: inode0: really! cool! (08:30:40 PM) herlo: inode0: I would come to hear you speek (08:30:55 PM) crossbytes: just saw web site great job on pulling all of this together .. . (08:30:57 PM) inode0: it is a bit of an odd talk (08:30:57 PM) VileGent: inode0, you have big shoes to follow now (08:31:14 PM) dthomasdigital: Of course all I have to do is get RMS in from Chile the day before the conference, talk about logistics. (08:31:24 PM) quaid: lcafiero using quaid's computer: I'd prefer to see inode0 over RMS (08:31:29 PM) inode0: is RMS the opening or closing speaker? (08:31:35 PM) dthomasdigital: Opening (08:31:59 PM) aeperezt: good luck with that one inode0 (08:32:20 PM) ***inode0 can find a funny hat (08:32:22 PM) dthomasdigital: Closing speaker is up in the air right now it's looking like Jono Bacon. (08:32:41 PM) VileGent: oh bad the ubuntu frat boys again (08:32:45 PM) ***inode0 applauds jono too (08:33:27 PM) inode0: wow, lots of surprises tonight (08:33:42 PM) dthomasdigital: Being New Mexico we are trying to get the Gentoo folks as well, it is the NM distro (08:34:41 PM) VileGent: dthomasdigital, i hope the hotel has a airport shuttle (08:35:03 PM) dthomasdigital: I'll have hotel info up some time this month (08:36:29 PM) inode0: great, exciting news (08:36:48 PM) dthomasdigital: now all I have to do is clone me and I'll be good to go. (08:36:55 PM) inode0: UTOSC request from your humble emcee (08:37:40 PM) inode0: For a variety of very good reasons I would like to see us help sponsor UTOSC this year by providing the standard booth fee (08:37:47 PM) herlo: hi (08:37:56 PM) ***herlo saw utosc! (08:38:02 PM) herlo: can I talk about it for a minute? (08:38:12 PM) inode0: ok (08:38:17 PM) ***inode0 will wait (08:38:30 PM) herlo: inode0: feel free to let me know, I can wait for you... (08:38:32 PM) herlo: no rush really (08:38:49 PM) inode0: ok, I can finish fast (08:39:16 PM) inode0: I hoped we might have leftover money as we often to at the end of the quarter to send to Utah (08:39:31 PM) inode0: but it looks like that may or may not be the case (08:39:44 PM) inode0: as you can see from the budget page, which has been updated (08:39:54 PM) ***herlo looks again (08:40:15 PM) inode0: actually, the comm arch page better shows the hardship (08:40:21 PM) herlo: link? (08:40:42 PM) inode0: I'll dig it up in a minute (08:40:47 PM) herlo: nw (08:41:12 PM) inode0: anyway, there is I believe another 1800 or so spent on the t-shirts although there seems to be some confusion on that point (08:41:14 PM) QuickStart2: so with the money left order can we splurge on new abassador kits (08:41:23 PM) inode0: we have the t-shirts, someone paid for them (08:41:35 PM) inode0: or was that last quarter? (08:41:46 PM) inode0: it isn't listed last quarter either (08:42:03 PM) inode0: we'll figure that out later ... (08:42:10 PM) herlo: I see about 6k spent so far (08:42:52 PM) inode0: my proposal is that we sponsor UTOSC by paying the $700 booth fee this year either with quarter end money or from Q3 if we don't have it in Q2 (08:43:00 PM) inode0: herlo: you talk for a bit (08:43:24 PM) herlo: inode0: okay (08:43:43 PM) herlo: so for a couple points, if you can't sponsor UTOSC in Q2, Q3 is great! (08:44:06 PM) herlo: TBH, I just wanted to mention that I really am looking forward to seeing a bunch of you at UTOSC. (08:44:21 PM) herlo: I know that a few are plannign on it and we have been working really hard to make it fun this year (08:44:33 PM) herlo: http://2009.utosc.com is our website, we're getting more info up there every day (08:45:14 PM) herlo: anyway, it seems we're in a transition year, but we have Stormy Peters keynoting on Friday October 9 (08:45:34 PM) herlo: and we have a local fellow, named Daren Brabham talking about crowdsourcing as well. (08:45:35 PM) dthomasdigital: Very cool I like Stormy a lot (08:45:50 PM) herlo: UTOSC always does a local and global keynote each day (08:46:05 PM) herlo: we have people from the ODF alliance coming and a guy from IBM on Thursday, our community day (08:47:00 PM) herlo: we'll also have Guru Labs University, which is a local linux training company. They'll be doing a class on Thursday too, showing off their new courseware, which is Ubuntu specific, but they have some really good courses too (08:47:16 PM) herlo: anyway, there's a ton more on our site. Ooh, and one last mention (08:47:39 PM) herlo: we're doing the world premeir of a new cartoon called 'The Kenny Ho Project' -- http://www.kennyhoproject.com (08:48:36 PM) herlo: anyway, I plan on setting up a page on our wiki (might already be there) and I think lcafiero was going to help me with the booth. (08:48:49 PM) herlo: but we want to have a FAD there, not sure what on yet (08:49:01 PM) inode0: CFP soon for potential speakers (08:49:08 PM) herlo: inode0: it's been up for a month (08:49:15 PM) inode0: yeah, get them in soon :) (08:49:29 PM) herlo: here's a list of them that have been submitted: http://2009.utosc.com/speaker/list/all/ (08:49:58 PM) herlo: if you register (volunteer, present, etc) you get to vote for each presentation, up or down (08:50:42 PM) herlo: now, I heard about some complaints about our pricing so I wanted to mention that up front. (08:51:05 PM) herlo: we put up pricing of $70 for Early Bird and $100 for Standard Registration (08:51:08 PM) herlo: but (08:51:36 PM) herlo: if you participate in some way in a free software (or open source) project, you get 50% off. Making early bird $35 and standard $50 (08:51:52 PM) herlo: or if you volunteer in some way (say at the fedora booth), you get in for free (08:51:55 PM) ***inode0 thinks it is very reasonable either way (08:52:06 PM) herlo: we're all about making it free if you give back (08:52:11 PM) VileGent: thats reasonable (08:52:15 PM) herlo: :) (08:52:46 PM) herlo: the point being that we're really excited to have people there, we're not trying to exclude anyone, just that we want people to be committed to the conference (08:53:21 PM) ***VileGent will comment later (08:53:24 PM) herlo: in addition, this year we have an Expo pass for iirc $15 (08:54:01 PM) herlo: and we have a Thursday only for $10 (08:54:27 PM) herlo: so, my whole pitch here is to get people out to the con and help with the fedora booth and the FAD (08:54:39 PM) ***herlo could og longer, but I think that'll do (08:54:44 PM) herlo: that'll do pig, that'll do (08:54:47 PM) herlo: thanks inode0 (08:55:43 PM) inode0: ok, would anyone else like to comment on my proposal? (08:56:22 PM) pcalarco: sounds like a very worthwhile event to support; +1 (08:56:47 PM) inode0: Next topic then: Retractable banners & Posters (08:57:08 PM) herlo: thanks pcalarco (08:57:19 PM) ***herlo is hoping to make it to NMLF too (08:57:39 PM) inode0: Who is the Retractable banners & Posters person? (08:57:48 PM) inode0: VileGent? (08:57:56 PM) dthomasdigital: would love to have herlo, I sure got lots of green chili to make (08:58:01 PM) VileGent: i arranged the banners and tossed it back to you (08:58:07 PM) herlo: dthomasdigital: awesome (08:58:44 PM) VileGent: ok we finally got banner sizes from the provider (08:58:50 PM) inode0: last I heard ke4qqq was going to order the banners, I haven't heard whether he did though (08:59:00 PM) VileGent: and they will not fit the event box (08:59:23 PM) inode0: and those are in the Q2 budget so we can proceed (08:59:30 PM) VileGent: so inode and i had a discussion and i had the desogn team to come up with to banners (08:59:54 PM) VileGent: so they are waiting to be ordered afaiK (09:00:41 PM) VileGent: posters" i have a request in to the design team for 2 four foundations posters which i will have printed locally (09:01:05 PM) VileGent: hopefully i can send a set to all the event boxes in september (09:01:15 PM) VileGent: eol (09:01:39 PM) inode0: those will be great in the event boxes (09:02:17 PM) inode0 has changed the topic to: FAmNA Meeting: Tasks: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks (09:02:29 PM) inode0: switching the agenda for pcalarco now (09:02:39 PM) inode0: do we want to do another round of Fedora Ambassador polos? (09:03:14 PM) pcalarco: lcafiero was also looking into button downs (09:03:28 PM) pcalarco: maybe do those before? (09:03:42 PM) inode0: I believe StabbyMc was also looking at those (09:04:21 PM) inode0: I'm not sure if it would be better or not to have the Fedora button downs not be ambassador specific? (09:05:07 PM) inode0: Keep the sort of unified ambassador polo look but have Fedora button downs available too (09:05:14 PM) pcalarco: yes, more general so anyone from any of the teams can wear them (09:05:21 PM) inode0: right (09:06:00 PM) inode0: the button down ringleaders don't seem to be here tonight (09:06:10 PM) pcalarco: ok, so I will send out a call for round 4 of FAMNA polos on the list this week (09:06:14 PM) inode0: do we have folks signed up for polos? (09:06:23 PM) pcalarco: two thus far (09:06:29 PM) inode0: the polos seem to always be popular (09:07:28 PM) ***inode0 needs about 5 minutes before campus ambassador discussion, does someone else have something to fill the dead air?

(09:10:59 PM) VileGent: pcalarco, i guess i am the east coast coordinator for the east voast event box (09:11:36 PM) VileGent: it was @ SELF, will be going to OLF then to PA (09:11:49 PM) pcalarco: nice (09:12:02 PM) inode0: sorry, back (09:12:37 PM) inode0: pcalarco: paul is going to check on the Fedora booth at the summit (09:13:00 PM) pcalarco: inode0: okies, thx (09:13:17 PM) inode0: shall we move on to campus ambassadors? (09:13:28 PM) VileGent: +1 (09:13:54 PM) inode0: we bounced around some ideas for the general structure of sponsoring one campus ambassador to attend FUDcon the other day (09:14:10 PM) inode0: I'd like to share it now with everyone for any feedback (09:14:25 PM) inode0: So let me lay it out in general terms (09:14:52 PM) inode0: the award will be airfare and 1/2 room for one campus ambassador from NA (09:16:11 PM) inode0: campus ambassadors will do their thing across NA this fall and those wishing to attend FUDcon can submit a description of their activities as campus ambassadors (and in other areas of the project) by a date to be determined (09:16:52 PM) inode0: a committee composed of the 5 regional ambassadors and/or others they designate will by some method to be determined rank the entries (09:17:24 PM) inode0: emphasis will be on campus activities, but other fedora activities will count for something (09:18:05 PM) inode0: we probably should announce this very soon and end it around Halloween (09:18:24 PM) inode0: so folks can get to work early in the fall semester (09:19:11 PM) inode0: does this sound reasonable for a general format? suggestions are very welcome (09:20:02 PM) pcalarco: sounds great, and this should help promote folks becoming campus ambassadors and reward those doing the most impactful work (09:20:16 PM) inode0: that is what I'm hoping it does (09:21:00 PM) inode0: and it is worthwhile I think even if we have only one who does enough to earn it (09:21:28 PM) inode0: but I hope we can get many involved (09:21:43 PM) VileGent: the sooner the announcement the sooner i can send to my local luug (09:22:05 PM) inode0: those of us around campuses need to get on the ball (if we aren't already) recruiting our own campuses (09:22:06 PM) crossbytes: Sounds great .. I think there should be something for people that can not or do not want to attend the FUDcon a better chance to get even more involved. (09:22:22 PM) ***inode0 looks guilty (09:22:55 PM) inode0: nothing is stopping anyone I hope (09:23:45 PM) inode0: this isn't just about a reward, it is an opportunity for a young contributor to grow inside the project and have a great experience that might otherwise not be available (09:24:12 PM) inode0: at least that is how I'm thinking of it (09:25:02 PM) inode0: and I should mention that *all* fedora contributors are eligible to be sponsored to attend FUDcon anyway (09:25:05 PM) VileGent: i have always said we have to grow the contributors from the ground up (09:25:28 PM) inode0: but we are trying to send one extra (09:26:27 PM) inode0: if it helps kickstart the campus ambassador program all the better for everyone (09:26:57 PM) dthomasdigital: sounds great, I'm all for it.

The purpose of the conference is to bring FOSS software to small and medium sized business, government and schools. The primary distribution that will be represented will be Ubuntu GNU/Linux. I think that a more 'bleeding edge' distro such as Fedora could benefit from such a conference as well as the conference and attendees. Plus, I am a huge Fedora-KDE fan :) Does Fedora and the Fedora KDE-SIG have any interest in sponsoring (either with volunteers or booths, or via monetary donations) this event? I will be forwarding a call for presentations shortly, as well. http://ableconf.com/press_releases/2009Jul29.html ###### FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Arizona's Premiere Conference on Open Source Software Offers Insight on Leveraging Open Source Tools to Reduce IT Costs and Increase Flexibility in the Midst of Economic Uncertainty. TEMPE, AZ -- Building on the success of its first run last September, the Arizona Business & Liberty Experience Conference (ABLEconf) is set to return to the University of Advancing Technology (UAT) on the 24th of October, 2009. With businesses, schools, governments, non-profits and individuals all looking to cut costs wherever they can, open-source software can help leverage the advantage of using software in their infrastructure that delivers enterprise-ready results without the entanglements of costly licensing. Open source office application suites like OpenOffice.org can be leveraged to cut the repeating costs of paying for new office software and training, while implementing open standards that make it easy to do business with users of all variety of office software. Firewall systems such as OpenBSD's pf can be used to implement industry- proven network security at the fraction of the cost of firewall systems with high licensing and support costs. Operating systems such as GNU/Linux and its Ubuntu distribution can be used to create reliable, secure ?desktop systems impervious to viruses and malware that are highly customizable to an individual company or school's needs, entail no licensing costs, and require less frequent hardware upgrades than proprietary systems such as Windows and Mac OS X. These, and many more topics will be presented and discussed. ?Thanks to sponsors like RD Harris PC and our host, UAT, admission is free. No registration is required to attend. ABLEconf was founded in 2008 by a coalition of Free / Open-Source software groups and associations in Arizona. ?The free-admission one-day conference hosts a wide variety of speaking tracks and sessions on how to take advantage of open source software in small business, government, medical, enterprise, and individual use. # # # For more information about this announcement, or to schedule an interview with an ABLEconf representative, please call us at 1.623.252.ABLE or e-mail us at info at ABLEconf.com. ?Follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/ableconf. -- Ryan Rix (623)-826-0051 Save yourself from the 'Gates' of hell, use Linux." ?-- like that one. ? ? ? ?-- The_Kind @ LinuxNet http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com | http://twitter.com/phrkonaleash XMPP: phrkonaleash at gmail.com ? ? ? ? ?| MSN: phrkonaleash at yahoo.com AIM: ?phrkonaleash ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?| Yahoo: phrkonaleash IRC: ?PhrkOnLsh at irc.freenode.net/#srcedit,#teensonlinux,#plugaz and ? ? ?countless other FOSS channels. _______________________________________________ fedora-kde mailing list fedora-kde at lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments From nthomas at emersion.com.au Thu Aug 6 00:18:40 2009 From: nthomas at emersion.com.au (Nathan Thomas) Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:18:40 +1000 Subject: [Ambassadors] Any Active New Zealand Ambassadors In-Reply-To: References: <4A781DD9.6090301@gmail.com> Message-ID: <1249517920.24005.171.camel@localhost.localdomain> On Tue, 2009-08-04 at 17:28 +0530, susmit shannigrahi wrote: > On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 5:09 PM, Frank Murphy wrote: > > Am getting bounces for those I contacted directly. > > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Ambassadors_from_New_Zealand > > > > Has any trawl been done for bouncing @fedoraproject aliases. > > AFAIK, there is no active ambassador from NZ. It's been a couple of days, and no Kiwi Ambassador has stepped forward. I'm not in New Zealand, but I'm probably about as close as any another ambassador (Melbourne/South-East Australia).

On one hand, hardly anyone would come to the idea to run Fedora on such a arch (or have access to such an arch and the necessary knowledge), on the other hand the ambassadors might not have the proper knowledge to detect when someone we're talking to would be the right person to contribute to that group (like when they're speaking of their server farm, I wouldn't recognize whether he's speaking about some s390 servers or not). But this can be helped: any SIG-member is always welcome to join the Ambassadors and help promote Fedora and their very own work at events themselves! That's actually pretty much how this Ambassadors stuff works and I guess there's hardly an Ambassador, that is not member of any SIG or another Project within Fedora (would be interesting to see the statistics on this, though). Of course, some were first Ambassador and then joined other groups and some were first in another group and then became Ambassador.

Oh, and that wouldn't be for Ambassadors only but for all contributors :) Next release of shomyu [1] will have most of what is needed for that: - migration to TurboGears2 (not really needed, but that will provide great stuff for the future) - full JS APIs to integrate the shomyu map in any existing web page (currently shomyu has its own built-in web page), this is the core of integrating it in Fedora-Community. What will still be needed after that is integration with FAS (yes, that's not a little patch :) If one of those "new Candidates who stated to be Experts in Frameworks like TurboGears and fit in Web-Scripting and Programming" wants to give me a hand, I'll gladly welcome new contributors.

Well, it was updated in May... I'm going to email Thomas Chung, and we'll see what's going on. Probably Thomas will suggest that we do something more formal with the FreeMedia donations.

I've investigate a little bit on this issue. If you agree with me we could take this initiative along with the other one that I mentioned (but that I paused to let other taks go ahead), Ambassadors Events in social networks. We could work on the creation of a common usage platform with an events' calendar and events report. In that way Fedora-Community seems the best way to promote our events and post events reports. (as I suggest to do with the SocNets). Does it seem a good idea?

We are trying to challange this real risk trought a strenght mentoring of newbie. Sure the problem seems serious and we should take care of this. The idea of a feedback system sounds interesting, but we need to set up something for this (TRAC requires a Fedora Account and Wiki too), I don't know if, in the other sub-projects, they met something similar, but it could be interesting to know, just to share some ideas on this with the other ones.

Why not simply add a notice on the wiki saying something like: ? Report an improper behavior from a Fedora ambassador by writing an email to.... ? I guess FAmSCo members could have their name there, and anyone can send an email to complain. Then, people receiving the complaints could contact the ambassador (or his mentor) and talk about the other side of the story. That would keep things simple.

I would say a trac with openid and private ticket plugin will be a perfect solution. So that anyone with an opneid can login and file a ticket and nobody other than designated people will be able to see tickets other than the one they created, kept in cc or the owner of. If agreed upon, I can take care of it.

If i read the follow up of this topic i get scared! Setting up a central instance(in whatever form) to report wrong behavoir? We are a group of peers and i see no reason why we should establish such a platform of denouncing. We had rotten apples in the past and solved this within our regional Groups. Feel free to contact this person and try to help him. We have established a regional net of mentors who can also help with their expirience to solve conflicts. Trust is the Key for our work - we are a open system and we do self regulate, no need for such platform. > This is pleas for advise and direction from the list and even FamSco, > (with some follow-up to Infrastructure re:a hopefully possible) FAmSCo is just an enabler not the inquisition.

That's actually why I proposed to just drop a note somewhere and do this by email, because I don't think this ? issue-which-isn't-really-one ? deserves anything more. And in fact, improper behavior will often be due to lack of experience. A good talk between the incriminated ambassador and a mentor (some of us don't have mentors as we joined before mentorship was set up) would fix most of the ? issues ? and enter in the ? self regulation ? case you're talking about. Of course, when you want to mentor someone and guide him, you need to know what his flaws are. That's where the ? denouncement ?

I never got mentored, I do not have the opportunity, for going to parties etc.. If it's to play cock of the north, I would never want it. But I do support Fedora as best I can.

You are right, ignoring people and problems is wrong - and i gave my opinion how to help. As i stated, it is the responsibility from every single member of the group to help - and if help is not wanted and harm to the project is done you are free to act.

Not that I like to get to that point. I am not that angry about the case that I use as example. I will contact personally again to politely ask to display in his user page that he is inactive and to point to a nearest ambassador. In the other hand there is another issue regarding keeping hold of people, as some people in free-media have changed emails, and apparently their aliases are not working properly.

He would not be the first person to do so. At one point it was so bad that Nicu drew a comic representing that many Ambassadors did the same thing. This was and is a problem. We've taken several steps to address it but it isn't completely effective. We purged a number of inactive Ambassadors - several hundred as a matter of fact. I know you claim this isn't about inactive people - but that's a pretty low barrier to eliminate a number of people who don't care about representing Fedora enough to keep their account active. I'll be the first person to say that there are many times I wish we could dramatically reboot this entire process and start over again. I think many of us would do it dramatically different. That said we are trying to eliminate this problem going forward with mentoring. This subject comes up from time to time, and often causes much discussion. It is something that many of us feel passionately about. The people who misrepresent Fedora we believe to be doing harm to the project, and even more so to the Ambassadors. This sullies the reputation of all Ambassadors IMO. Generally speaking I don't think that most of these problems are caused by people acting maliciously - I think it's a case of ignorance about what they committed to do, and the philosophy of free software in general. This is also a community - I expect and even want people to point out when I am doing something wrong. I want and expect people to file bugs against my packages - it makes them, and hopefully the distribution, better in the process, it also educates me to not make the same mistakes again in the future. This shouldn't be any different - I expect if you see me doing something that runs afoul of the Code of Conduct, Forbidden Items, or common sense, that you will tell me about it. I don't expect you to be confrontational about it, and assume you realize the negative effects that would likely have. If the person truly is apathetic or defiant, bring it to the attention of the regional leaders in your area or perhaps a FAmSCo member in your region. That said, I don't want FAmSCo to become a body concerned with adjudication, and honestly I don't think it will, but sincerely hope I don't wake to find 500 emails complaining about Ambassadors not behaving properly. Another email in this thread suggests some method of having the public report bad Ambassador behavior. Joerg makes some good arguments against it, but pragmatically, if a good portion of Ambassadors don't know how they are supposed to be behaving, how can we expect the public to know that their behavior is out of line in all but the most egregious cases. > > This is pleas for advise and direction from the list and even FamSco, > (with some follow-up to Infrastructure re:a hopefully possible) My comments earlier about talking to the person in question individually and trying to educate them are my advise, though I should disclaim that I am not speaking for FAmSCo, merely voicing my personal opinion.

I bet a whole lot of them will do better with it. I know of someone, who, unable to convince a customer about openoffice, installed m$office 2007 using wine. When asked, he said he didn't know all the features of openoffice and the user insisted on some particular feature. So to stop her migrating back to win$, he did install m$office using wine. Surely, this is a case of ignorance and he needs more mentoring. Problem is, as I said, how do we know about these people? They aren't coming up on their own. So we need to think alternately. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from Calcutta, WB, India From david at gnsa.us Sun Aug 9 04:54:50 2009 From: david at gnsa.us (David Nalley) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 00:54:50 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] What to Do?

I'm also enrolled in a local college and doing computer science engineering in 7th sem. Well my college has been an avid user of open source technologies. # fedora 10 was recently installed in all college computers i.e. over 300 computers, f10 might have been the choice because of the delay in the availability and more over, college lacks the technical support, there are lab assistants and teachers who know very little about foss and stuff, but anyways the management makes it a point to do so. # college is also registered in the sun-osum initiative, with members more than 700, its among the worlds top for the maximum number of members, but the silver lining here is that, those are just figures and no one really know anything about foss, even the osum core committee members know nothing. But again that is so because there are no serious guys who want to do *real* work. Well the whole point of this is, that i want to do some *real* foss work in college and get it involved with the mainstream fedora contributing/developer community. I want to make a list of things which can be done, so then I can talk to my HOD and start things over. So suggest me with things which we can do here. I've some ideas on the lines of:- # make students use fedora in programming and other tasks in college. # getting them involved with different mainstream projects under fedoraproject. # contribution on the basis of quality rather than quantity. # make college or rather jaipur a hub of foss community work. This will also involve lug and the same things could also be implemented in other colleges, since there are a few others, where we've conducted workshops as part of lug and have been using fedora all the way.

Every Fedora Contributor (ambassador, marketer,packager and so on) had its own /wiki/Username page.

Why? Actually the positive feedbacks are really more than the negative ones (and sure, the latter can be counted with an hand, while the former are a really big number). If the system work why we need to complicate it? We all know that there is someone that isn't a perfect ambassadors, but we have to focus on Events, events, events and on people, people, people. We are working on Mentoring, that is the diamond tip of Ambassadors Project to solve such issues: we are getting great results. The system is working, we are 600 men and women and we are doing an excellent job. We can't ask to be all involved and we can't make police. We have just to count on our energy and our strenght team work. Hoping you'll trust me Francesco Ugolini p.s. Just a suggestion: if you see an ambassador seems to have difficulty, just get in touch with him and told him about mentoring or just give an hand directly: cooperation is the best way, sure :) From kinkelson at gmail.com Sun Aug 9 08:58:30 2009 From: kinkelson at gmail.com (Leonard Adjei) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 08:58:30 +0000 Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: What To Do In-Reply-To: <4A7E8DF9.4070504@gmail.com> References: <47d9fe5c0908090144v5f80fff0j40632aecd102ff@mail.gmail.com> <4A7E8DF9.4070504@gmail.com> Message-ID: <7281d2c10908090158n767a2a4dw1362a5d89df53498@mail.gmail.com> On Sun, Aug 9, 2009 at 8:51 AM, Frank Murphy (Frankly3D) < frankly3d at gmail.com> wrote: > On 09/08/09 09:44, Salvadesswaran P.S. wrote: > > Well, I'll put in my opinion on this issue.

We have to be patient and just acknowledge that the real engine of Ambassadors Project are the people who are actively involved, even with small actions. You can see it when a person tell you "thank you for the information you give me" or "thank you to have helped me solving this problem". Nothing is worth than a thanks and sure this is our best reward. FAmSCo is here to hear your voice and sure we will take in consideration all the suggestions and concerns on Fedora Ambassadors Life.

Lets focus on how we can improve ourself and make a better job as ambassadors. I see in the following thread, that people start to justify their behaivour as Ambassadors - maybe i am sensible because i am from former-east-germany - but is this the beginning of a witch hunt?

I(we?) want not a Subsection in Ambassador where all People who made mistakes get listed or a case study how wrong behaivour has to be handled. > The problem still exists, > public being ignored, > we carry on. Contact point for public is the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors#Where_are_they.3F i have removed the link to "count by country" - which pointed to the User:Username Pages, which is not the reliable source to find an active Ambassador. On the Verification Page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService/Verification are all Ambassadors listed who have an active FAS Account - we cleaned up over 200 inactive Ambassadors in last weeks. This is no guarantee, but it is the source where public should find the right Ambassador for the Job. Maybe we can discuss with Infrastructure to have MailingGroups for every CountryCode where public can send an email and contact the regional Group - i think this is a famsco discussion we should have in the next meeting > If you cannot engage in dialogue, what then? > as in my reply to David I can not tell you the right way - i can only tell you, that i would write a line on his WikiPage that he can not act as an Ambassador at this time and people from public should contact the regional contact instead. We have mentors to help to make the right decissions. We are an foss project and we trust our contributors! I would much more love to see a culture where we promote people who made a good job as Ambassador by give them more ressources and reputation in form of mention their names as a good example! cu Joerg -- Joerg (kital) Simon jsimon at fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoergSimon http://kitall.blogspot.com Key Fingerprint: 3691 0989 2DCA 58A2 8D1F 2CAC C823 558E 5B5B 5688 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Why not create one? You could organize release parties. Those are events, they are not really hard to organize (of course if you're alone, that can prove to be a challenge), and you would have your local events :) You could even invite some other ambassadors who could have the money to travel to your place and help you, give conferences,...

One of the aspects I have noticed is that an "Ambassador" is a role that is not really measured. For example, a packager who consistently churns out "not so good" packages would be looked at with some bit of wary approach by the reviewers. In a similar fashion, how do we measure Ambassadors in terms of measurable goals ? Or, for that matter, is it really possible to have measurable goals for Ambassadors ? -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work From david at gnsa.us Sun Aug 9 16:05:16 2009 From: david at gnsa.us (David Nalley) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 12:05:16 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] More Guidance Needed In-Reply-To: <4A7EACD9.5090807@gmail.com> References: <4A7E8732.8040504@gmail.com> <200908091300.51214.jsimon@fedoraproject.org> <4A7EACD9.5090807@gmail.com> Message-ID: On Sun, Aug 9, 2009 at 7:02 AM, Frank Murphy (Frankly3D) wrote: > On 09/08/09 12:00, Joerg Simon wrote: >> On Sunday 09 August 2009 10:22:10 Frank Murphy (Frankly3D) wrote: >>> The urls are examples only: >>> example >>> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MatiasMaceira not on verification list, >>> but has user page (admittedly minimal) >> >> if you see that just clean up the category! >> >> cu Joerg >> > > And I will not step on someone feet or dignity doing this? > > -- > Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list > Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list > The wiki editing guidelines published by Docs say to edit boldly. :) From david at gnsa.us Sun Aug 9 16:25:03 2009 From: david at gnsa.us (David Nalley) Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 12:25:03 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] What to Do?

In Matias case, I suggest that he deserves some slack at this time. He has been ill since Fudcon Latam. I guess this is what Joerg meant by saying that we can count in regional feedback. I think that in general situations you can write directly, then ask regionally and then edit the wiki boldly. Again, I think that we need to make more clear where we (as ambassadors) are listening for feedback, so public can write when they feel saying something (good or bad).

A good place to start would be to assess the skills of yourself and, the ones around you who could form the nucleus of this effort. It is somewhat given that once the initial folks start doing things, they gain confidence to start coaching others into participating and contributing. > I've some ideas on the lines of:- > # make students use fedora in programming and other tasks in college. Good idea. A way to start would be to ensure that you have yourself started using Fedora/FOSS to complete programming assignments and, so forth. That way, it would become easier for you to say "look, here's how I do it, and I am sure that we can sit together and, show you how as well" > # getting them involved with different mainstream projects under > fedoraproject. This is based on skill-sets and, interests. Hence, it becomes mandatory for you to keep an eye and, an ear open to spot interests and, perhaps get them introduced on this list. That should allow us to guide them appropriately. And, would also allow you to keep track of the discussion so that you function as a somewhat "local mentor" > # contribution on the basis of quality rather than quantity. > # make college or rather jaipur a hub of foss community work. > > This will also involve lug and the same things could also be implemented in > other colleges, since there are a few others, where we've conducted > workshops as part of lug and have been using fedora all the way.

I'm a newbie here, and under certain circumstances, it may be seen as advantage because I can share my experience as newcomer. I'm a free software supporter and advocate for almost 9 years and after being a long time Ubuntu user, I moved to Fedora because I found very interesting how's organized the community. One of the things attracted me most is how well is all the stuff documented in the wiki, and the other is how easy is to get involved. No entry barriers, and a message like 'do anything you can, and anything you wan, you're welcome'. That was a refreshing travel back to some years ago when I was involved in local groups. Everybody is welcome, it's so easy to be part of the community, but only time will say if you're really a contributor. Don't get me wrong, good intentions count, but being part of a community it's about acting and having some work done. I'm not saying that other communities fail to address that objective, but I like Fedora's way. I realized when I joined the point Frank started with this thread: if it's too easy to join a club, you'll have some poseurs (people that does nothing but show the 'I'm a Fedora ambassador' sticker), people that will loose their energy or interest in time, etc; but in exchange you'll have lots of people contributing just because was so easy for them to start. > Lets focus on how we can improve ourself and make a better job as ambassadors. > I see in the following thread, that people start to justify their behaivour as > Ambassadors - maybe i am sensible because i am from former-east-germany - but > is this the beginning of a witch hunt? I must admit that sometimes the 'joining the ambassador project' was a bit confusing for me. I miss something, let's call it mentoring or guidance. OK, it was easy to get here... and now what? I got one e-mail from an ambassador asking about the situation in my zone (Spain), and wondering why there are so few events in Spain. I don't felt like it was an accusation but like being guided. My two cents.

Do we have regional Leaders / Organisators and also substitudes? Never met one afaik; on the other hand it was more than once discussed if there is a need of such "persons" and leadership.

Each region already settled and organize has its own leaders. No one will question their leadership as they are the ones who were there when you arived, who helped you getting started, or who are the most active in organizing events, etc... In France for exemple, I think everyone would agree that Thomas is such a leader. He wasn't elected, it is just obvious for everyone that he is. (this doesn't mean there aren't other, Thomas is just the one that naturally comes to mind :). I'm sure it works the same way in the other regions. And if you're the first ambassador in your region, then there's a high chance you'll be a "veteran" when your community will be formed, hence a natural leader. > What is the background of your question? Fedora EMEA e.V. can maybe "help" > with some issues as long as you need the help of that "organisation" and > I'm also sure the French NPO is also willing to help. I think I can confirm on behalf of the french NPO that we could help (depending on what you need of course :).

North America -- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Regions *** I'd encourage each region to build out their page to match the way the NA region has done theirs. It is fantastic *** EMEA -- the Fedora EMEA non-profit organization handles a lot of the organization. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA -- Furthermore, Armel Kermorvant and Thomas Canniot are excellent contacts in France. Francesco Ugolini is the FAMSCo chair and he lives in Italy. The best way to get in touch with the EMEA crew is to come to the IRC meetings. I'm working with a couple of our Ambassadors in Egypt to help them get more resources as well.

Well, we have processes in place for mass-production of CDs & DVDs of each release in different parts of the world, so that we can get media into the hands of Ambassadors for distribution at events. It doesn't all come from me :) Frank, are you referring to a contributor or ambassador who simply needs a single copy? I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve, that we don't already have a system in place to handle. --Max From mspevack at redhat.com Mon Aug 10 12:32:27 2009 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:32:27 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Ambassadors] Who are the Regional Co-Ordinators?

Leaders emerge, and leaders are the ones who step up to provide help and organization, and who can inspire others towards a vision. I think we have some clear leaders in every part of the world who have developed over time, and I'm incredibly grateful to all of them! --Max From frankly3d at gmail.com Mon Aug 10 12:33:13 2009 From: frankly3d at gmail.com (Frank Murphy (Frankly3D)) Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:33:13 +0100 Subject: [Ambassadors] Help a Friend: Initiative In-Reply-To: References: <4A7FEC3D.6090501@gmail.com> <2d319b780908100258x21936362y1e5c4e011fdaa818@mail.gmail.com> <4A7FEFD9.5080709@gmail.com> Message-ID: <4A801389.5000404@gmail.com> On 10/08/09 13:30, Max Spevack wrote: > On Mon, 10 Aug 2009, Frank Murphy (Frankly3D) wrote: > >>> I'm confused.

No :) I don't have the ability to mail single CDs to people all over the world! In fact, I don't even have any Fedora CDs physically in my possession! I gave them all away to various Ambassadors in Europe! So, let's try to understand: You're saying that there are people who want to help with Free Media by copying CDs or DVDs -- but they don't have a way to get started because they can't even get a CD or DVD? This seems like a recursion problem. Why can't FreeMedia take care of this problem? --Max From inode0 at gmail.com Mon Aug 10 12:42:17 2009 From: inode0 at gmail.com (inode0) Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:42:17 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] Help a Friend: Initiative In-Reply-To: <4A801389.5000404@gmail.com> References: <4A7FEC3D.6090501@gmail.com> <2d319b780908100258x21936362y1e5c4e011fdaa818@mail.gmail.com> <4A7FEFD9.5080709@gmail.com> <4A801389.5000404@gmail.com> Message-ID: On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 7:33 AM, Frank Murphy (Frankly3D) wrote: > On 10/08/09 13:30, Max Spevack wrote: >> Frank, are you referring to a contributor or ambassador who simply needs >> a single copy? >> >> I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve, that we don't already >> have a system in place to handle. >> > > It's just I have got back from some of our Freemedia volunteers, who are > also Ambassadors.

In North America we have Ambassador Kits that include media that ambassadors can request via trac. While that doesn't help ambassadors from the rest of the world, and probably solves the problem where it exists the least, it might be a model for other areas to look at for distribution of media and other items in small amounts to individual ambassadors.

The hard part of making this work is of course hidden behind the scenes. You need a network of volunteers who possess quantities of media and other items who are willing to do the packaging of kits and the shipping of stuff around the area.

It is financed through the normal budget process used in North America. So these volunteers are only required to contribute their time and energy in this case. All of the production of media and schwag in North America is now handled directly by ambassadors. So when we get budget for media/schwag we get it produced and shipped to the regional ambassadors (the five people who are currently volunteering to do the processing and shipping of this sort of stuff). We have an arrangement with UPS and Max to deal with paying for the shipping costs. It is all funded through the allocations Max/FAmSCo makes to North America under the ambassadors budget. We also do the acquisition and shipping of media and schwag for North American conferences and other events, so the Ambassador Kits are only a small part of the work done by this infrastructure and thus far it has not been a problem to get these out.

Cross with the Managua (NI) release event and, finally, Truong Anh Tuan with the Hanoi (VN) release event. For the Fedora 11 release, FAmSCo wanted to give some of the Ambassadors who organized great release events an opportunity to attend a FUDCon or a FAD in their region, and to meet more of the community face to face. As such, we're going to be providing some sponsorship opportunities to some of the organizers of great Fedora release events. Our decision was based not only on the quality of the event, that sure was the base requirement, we also took care of the experience of the people and the potential they could express in future events and in the whole project, both in a regional and global perspective. For several releases now, Fedora Ambassadors have been organizing release events all over the world, becoming a natural component of our activity and showing us the maturity of the project. The purpose of these events is to promote the new release of Fedora, to raise awareness among local communities, and to educate users and developers on the most important features of the release. These release events are low-cost and are therefore easy to scale worldwide. As a means of encouraging these events, we have occasionally offered some sort of reward for the best events. FAmSCo wants to thank all the participants for their amazing job: stay sure that we will continue to encourage it. For future Fedora releases, we hope to do the same thing, and to spread the sponsorship around so that folks all over the world have opportunities to attend FUDCons.

Message-ID: Hello to all again, Time i have some questions about Mentor program, my mentor is Rodrigo Padula. I'm planning a event on Paraguay, specifically on Pedro Juan Caballero. marcialarce is getting the place and some sponsors there right now, and i'm ( tekorei ) doing the planifications ( Ambassadors Speakers, activity's to do on the day, getting other sponsors from my local community and others ) I'm also asking for some pointers with Esteban Baez, so we can benefit from hes experience. If i get enough sponsor we can pay it all, my doubt is what Mentor should i talk to so he can give as some help. In and early notification mail, i read about tatica being the sponsor for Latin America, should i ask her? Also, how can i get some dvds and cds of fedora 11? i have to sign in some where?

Your installation will transfer over to a new drive just fine. As for becoming "bluer", just show the the benifits of using open source. Show how well openoffice works, inkscape, evolution, and all the other amazing software included. What impresses IT departments everywhere is how fast KVM virtualization runs.

I don't know what you mean exactly by "selling the idea" of Fedora to your campus, but there's an excellent opportunty to sell Open Source software and Linux (and in the process, Fedora) by building on your recent installfest in cooperation with the other distros. Have you and the others considered forming a Linux User Group on campus and having regular meetings/installfests? That would be one way of getting Fedora out to the students and faculty.

When you love what you do, when you love the people you get to do it with, when you love the way you do it, there is never a good time to leave, but there is a right time, and for me, personally and professionally, this is that right time. I wish to reiterate my gratitude to each and every single person, which I summed up in my email announcing my departure which will always be here: http://jaboutboul.blogspot.com/2009/07/jack-is-going-going-goinggone.html. In parting, it's hard to convey raw emotion as, personally, words cannot describe how privileged I feel to have been affiliated and employed by Red Hat and Fedora for the better part of the last decade. To be a part of Red Hat and Fedora is to be a part of the nobility; a precious pedigree of ideological steadfastness, technological excellence, supreme work ethic, and above all else, the truest, kindest and most passionate and compassionate people. At the same time, it is awkward to be both nobility and revolutionary--two roles which have historically been at antipodes--at the forefront of the great re-establishment of the philosophy of technology and how it is put into practice. This extraordinary conundrum is what drew me to Open Source and to Red Hat and it should serve as a constant source of both inspiration and pride for each of us, constantly. Similar to the Gandhi quote which lines the walls of every Red Hat office, when they said we couldn't we did, when they said we would fail, we succeeded, when they said we were wrong, we have and will continue to prove ourselves right, every moment of every hour of every day. This fierce belief in our ability to transcend and ascend to the highest of heights and noblest of peaks is what Red Hat stands for and it is for instilling this within me that I am thankful. It is true, and those who doubt it, will be forever stuck in the vacuum of time as we climb ever higher. Keep climbing, keep striving and most important keep your faith, we are in the right place and we are winning! Escher was right. Men step down and yet rise up, the hand is drawn by he hand it draws, and a woman is poised on her very own shoulders. Without us, this universe is simple, run with the regularity of a prison. Galaxies spin along stipulated arcs, stars collapse at the specified hour, crows U-turn south and monkeys rut on schedule. But we, whom the cosmos shaped for a billion years to fit this place, we know it failed. For we can reshape, reach an arm through the bars, and, Escher-like, pull ourselves out. And while whales feeding on mackerel are confined forever to the sea, we climb the waves, look down from clouds. Now go tell the kids. This is Jack, choking up and signing off. Godspeed friends.

Are you asking for a list of FOSS projects that need help? If so, I think I can answer: all of them (or almost). However, you'll understand that we can't really list all of them here (that would be almost equivalent to downloading half of the Internet, which some people say might make it implode). The best way to start is usually to find a project you really like using, and see if it has bugs you might be able to fix and provide patches for. With time, you might even become a core contributor of this project. As for your interest in the Ambassadors project, you're in the right place.

(08:09:19 PM) sseiersen: UTOSC may need some work. (08:10:27 PM) ***sseiersen sees not that many events to worry about... (08:10:30 PM) inode0: I think we are sort of in budget limbo for a spell now waiting for the next quarter's budget to shake out (08:10:55 PM) ***herlo is here (08:11:02 PM) sseiersen: herlo welcome (08:11:05 PM) herlo: hi (08:11:08 PM) inode0: Since StabbyMc is AWOL, I'll say a few things about the Summit (08:11:26 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Summit_2009 (08:11:44 PM) inode0: If you are going sign up there, especially for booth time if you can (08:12:16 PM) inode0: there will be a fedora dinner of some sort on 9/1 (08:12:30 PM) inode0: details aren't firm yet on where or when (08:12:50 PM) inode0: about 100 lbs of booth supplies have been shipped to the event (08:13:10 PM) inode0: the two new retractable banners arrived today and will be shipped on to Chicago tomorrow (08:13:50 PM) ***herlo wishes he could go (08:13:51 PM) inode0: I don't think I have anything else new to report on that (08:15:39 PM) inode0 has changed the topic to: FAmNA Meeting - Budget: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget (08:15:48 PM) inode0: we are broke (08:16:17 PM) ***inode0 notes that was a joke (08:16:20 PM) dthomasdigital: like everyone else (08:16:28 PM) ***sseiersen breathes... (08:17:03 PM) inode0: sometime after max relocates and gets settled he will join us with budget information I'm sure (08:17:28 PM) inode0: until then I think we're in limbo (08:17:49 PM) inode0: although my understanding was that UTOSC sponsorship would happen in Q3 (08:18:35 PM) inode0: longer term ambassadors should be thinking about and working on future merchandise (08:19:05 PM) inode0: we need new people pitching in all the time (08:19:17 PM) inode0: as soon as we get stuff it goes out the door and we need more (08:19:27 PM) dthomasdigital: Did we get pens? (08:19:34 PM) inode0: we did (08:19:35 PM) sseiersen: Yes (08:19:58 PM) inode0: http://rose.public.iastate.edu/pens.jpg (08:20:07 PM) dthomasdigital: nice (08:20:07 PM) inode0: I spilled them (08:20:09 PM) ***herlo has a desire to order more Live Media already (08:20:25 PM) dthomasdigital: speaking of herlo got all my stuff (08:20:43 PM) inode0: speaking of pens, we are including them in the Summit conference bags (08:21:09 PM) inode0: I have shipped a couple hundred around to the rest of the regional ambassadors (08:21:19 PM) inode0: a couple hundred each (08:21:32 PM) djf_jeff: inode0: where is the Canada love? ;) (08:21:40 PM) herlo: dthomasdigital: awesome (08:21:47 PM) inode0: djf_jeff: good question (08:22:02 PM) djf_jeff: seriously, I wonder how I can help with merchandise to get it in the hand of Canada Ambassadors? (08:22:05 PM) inode0: who is our regional shipping agent in Canada? :) (08:22:17 PM) dthomasdigital: herlo already made a care package and shipped to eastern New Mexico They are planning a large SFD (08:22:19 PM) djf_jeff: inode0: you just ask my question ;) (08:22:44 PM) herlo: dthomasdigital: awesome (08:22:52 PM) ***herlo will probably do something for SFD too (08:22:54 PM) djf_jeff: replace ask by answered (08:23:22 PM) dthomasdigital: We might have 4 events all over the state this SFD, 3 are confirmed (08:23:31 PM) ***sseiersen votes we should have an Ambassadors FAD at UTOSC (08:23:40 PM) inode0: djf_jeff: if you'd like to be it please contact ke4qqq about how the shipping stuff works and see if we can add you (08:24:25 PM) inode0: two simultaneous conversations weren't enough? (08:24:43 PM) ***sseiersen makes it 3 (08:24:44 PM) djf_jeff: inode0: sure that I will do it, I want to ease the process to get stuff here, thanks for the pointer (08:24:46 PM) inode0: are we finished with SFD and shipping? (08:25:03 PM) dthomasdigital: sorry, yes (08:25:19 PM) inode0: Let's talk about an ambassador FAD then, I have a few comments on that (08:25:44 PM) inode0: First, don't just have one to have one (08:26:04 PM) inode0: FADs should be motivated by work needing to be done (08:26:09 PM) inode0: Have the work in mind first (08:26:24 PM) sseiersen: Ambassador kits need to be put together (08:26:39 PM) inode0: they do? (08:26:51 PM) sseiersen: I belive so, not sure. (08:27:19 PM) inode0: ambassador kits are slapped together as needed by the people shipping them (08:27:25 PM) sseiersen: hmm (08:27:42 PM) inode0: given how fast media changes we can't really make them in advance (08:27:51 PM) ***sseiersen scratches the FAAD idea off his list... (08:27:57 PM) inode0: No (08:28:02 PM) inode0: don't scratch it off (08:28:20 PM) inode0: Just focus on work first, what can be accomplished, specific tasks (08:28:35 PM) sseiersen: Well, I'm sure we'll find something to do (08:28:41 PM) inode0: Then get the people who can make it happen together, if they are UTOSC that is great (08:28:41 PM) sseiersen: Just a idea atm. (08:29:14 PM) inode0: I really want to discourage the "we'll come up with something" strategy (08:29:20 PM) inode0: that part should be first :) (08:29:52 PM) ***sseiersen has a idea is the loong back of his mind... (08:29:54 PM) inode0: money is getting tighter, we need to spend it wisely, have specific and useful work planned out ahead of a FAD (08:30:17 PM) sseiersen: Campus Ambassdors planning? (08:30:49 PM) sseiersen: Anyone want to touch on this? (08:30:54 PM) inode0: FADs at events like UTOSC don't need to cost a lot, and ambassadors and other contributors can always do stuff when they get together (08:31:27 PM) inode0: I'd like to sort of go from one topic to the next (08:32:39 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_organize_a_FAD <-- good to read while thinking about a FAD (08:34:04 PM) ***inode0 is done with his FAD organization speech now ... anyone else (08:34:42 PM) sseiersen: I guess it's open floor since there is nothing else. (08:34:49 PM) inode0: fine (08:35:05 PM) inode0 has changed the topic to: FAmNA Meeting - Open Floor (08:35:08 PM) sseiersen: :) (08:35:28 PM) sseiersen: Anyone got anything? (08:35:32 PM) dthomasdigital: Just wanted to thank all that got the fedora 11 disk to me, should make SFD, and NMGLF very nice...thanks again. My son loved the tattoos (08:36:38 PM) sseiersen: do te do te do... (08:36:41 PM) crossbytes: Have some questions about freemedia should I bring it up here? (08:36:49 PM) inode0: sseiersen: what about campus ambassadors do you want to talk about? (08:36:51 PM) sseiersen: Shoot. (08:36:59 PM) inode0: crossbytes: let me come back to you (08:37:05 PM) crossbytes: ok (08:37:08 PM) sseiersen: inode0 getting it off the ground a bit more (08:37:20 PM) sseiersen: atm we got 3 ppl. (08:37:22 PM) inode0: talk isn't making it happen (08:37:28 PM) inode0: we need action :) (08:37:39 PM) sseiersen: agrees completely :] (08:38:18 PM) ***sseiersen needs to put together a good poster for colleges... (08:38:38 PM) inode0: mchua has joined our cause recently, we need to give her some time but I am confident she will be a great leader for getting this moving in the right direction (08:39:03 PM) inode0: do it! (08:39:16 PM) sseiersen: :] (08:39:23 PM) ***sseiersen totally will... (08:39:32 PM) ***sseiersen boots up Inkscape (08:40:07 PM) inode0: I'm trying but not being very successful about getting an announcement out regarding the CA program - nag me about it but not tonight please :) (08:40:22 PM) sseiersen: will do. (08:40:32 PM) inode0: shall we go to freemedia? (08:40:38 PM) sseiersen: yep (08:40:41 PM) crossbytes: confusion about out of area requests that r not through the proper requests form since the form is forwarding the 'requests' to the nearest Ambassador (08:40:43 PM) inode0: crossbytes: you have the floor (08:41:06 PM) inode0: yeah, we have very different opinions about those (08:41:41 PM) inode0: I'm afraid my experience is that the ones I get are people trying to game the system (08:41:46 PM) inode0: and I ignore them (08:42:07 PM) dthomasdigital: I'm ready to send to, but again not sure of the protocol (08:42:13 PM) inode0: others think I'm intolerably rude for that (08:42:27 PM) ***sseiersen is about to organize a dist. day at his school... (08:42:45 PM) inode0: I don't really want to spend my time responding to requests from people on other continents for freemedia (08:43:04 PM) sseiersen: inode0: it ain't rude but necessary. (08:43:12 PM) crossbytes: I understand .. and agree shouldnt confuse freemedia with ambassador stuff but the web page is fwoarding (08:43:22 PM) inode0: and I don't really want to be bothered by people on my continent trying to avoid going through the normal process either (08:43:59 PM) inode0: yeah, I said why I think that forwarding is bad (08:43:59 PM) ***sseiersen has a bit of a rough draft of his poster... (08:44:00 PM) crossbytes: to the nearest ambassador..and i am pretty sure that some abassados might not even know what the freemedia is (08:44:12 PM) inode0: they won't (08:44:23 PM) crossbytes: excuse the spelling... (08:44:44 PM) inode0: I'm just hoping that by next month it gets sorted out better (08:44:50 PM) dthomasdigital: honestly where do you go to even see who is requesting? (08:45:01 PM) sseiersen: The Trac. (08:45:16 PM) sseiersen: https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/ << (08:45:32 PM) crossbytes: I got a personal request because of the page saying to contact nearest .. and he contacted me...is the trac open? (08:45:44 PM) dthomasdigital: Thank you book marked now (08:45:53 PM) sseiersen: Welcome. (08:46:21 PM) inode0: https://fedorahosted.org/freemedia/ (08:46:37 PM) crossbytes: sorry should have said request form open? (08:46:57 PM) inode0: no, it isn't open. if it is someone nearby I'd just send them what they want if you can (08:47:23 PM) inode0: normally it opens for a few days at the beginning of each month (08:47:36 PM) inode0: they decided to not open it in August (08:48:14 PM) crossbytes: ok that was all I realy wanted to know... Ihave been getting a few requests and have been asking them how they got my e-mail and then go from there if they even answer.. (08:48:16 PM) inode0: so there won't be anything to do until September unless you get stray requests (08:48:35 PM) inode0: that seems reasonable (08:50:00 PM) ***sseiersen belives we're about done... (08:50:24 PM) inode0: would sseiersen like to do the countdown? (08:50:35 PM) ***sseiersen would be honored (08:50:45 PM) sseiersen: 5... (08:50:46 PM) sseiersen: 4 (08:50:49 PM) sseiersen: 3 (08:50:51 PM) sseiersen: 2 (08:50:53 PM) sseiersen: 1 (08:50:58 PM) sseiersen: #endmeeting (08:51:03 PM) dthomasdigital: bye all (08:51:06 PM) inode0: thanks everyone From larry.cafiero at gmail.com Wed Aug 19 02:57:49 2009 From: larry.cafiero at gmail.com (Larry Cafiero) Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:57:49 -0700 Subject: [Ambassadors] FAmNA Meeting Summary from 2009-08-18 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <7a0d56080908181957r24a3652did735544b3caa655d@mail.gmail.com> Oops.

I'll be back after that but I would like to request that someone volunteer to become the regular moderator beginning in November.

These workshops were organized by *BIT Linux User Group* with the help of the two Fedora Ambassadors (Me and Debjit Saha). *Workshop 1* : Date 10 Aug 2009. This workshop was organized for newbies and especially for the fresher batch of our college. We started off by showing some cool compiz effects on fedora11 gnome. Even after attending the classes from 8:00 to 5:00, more than 60 people turned up, some out of enthusiasm others out of curiosity. We had some slides prepared by our volunteers. We showed them the alternatives of windows applications available for linux, like for media player we have rhythmbox. We also had some "Tux v/s Windows" fight videos. We told them about benefits of installing fedora (A distro which comprises every latest stuff and yet it is highly stable). All this made up an environment for the install fest which was scheduled the next day. We also invited feedbacks in the nd. Most of them were positive though some were a bit disappointed that we didn't bashed windows to a greater extent. Photographs : http://picasaweb.google.com/lug.bitmesra/10August2009 *Workshop 2 : *Date 11 August 2009 It was a holiday and yet one of the busiest day for us. We had permission to use the college lab. As we reached there, we found a couple of enthusiast already waiting for installation eagerly. We had a total of 7 volunteers and slightly above 80 installations. Fedora11 DVDs were also distributed for free. Since we have a local repository in our campus we thought it to be wise if we write a script for the installation of some common softwares and to add the local repositories. For desktops Debjit had arranged for network boot. The fest was a huge success as till date we have people who are approaching us after seeing the laptops on which we installed fedora on install fest. Photographs : http://picasaweb.google.com/lug.bitmesra/11August2009 *Workshop 3* : Date 16 August 2009 This workshop was organized for more advanced users. We expected about 80-100 participants but we were astonished to see the rush. We had about 200 participants! So we decided to take the same workshop twice. We started off by telling basics of shell scripting and then made our way towards "Virtualization on Fedora". We had a little Question-Answer session after that. We also invited users to share their experiences with fedora. At the end we had a small slide show about "How to Contribute to Fedora Project". We had the sides made with the help of "join Fedora" page on wiki.

You can look at other sources like the website fedora-es.com where there are a couple of fedora users listed in Uruguay http://www.fedora-es.com/usuarios I think that writing to the mailing list that fedora-es has is also a good idea, as the people that created a profile on the web is usually shorter that the people signed on the list.

I have addressed "i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora", "Packaging RPM", "Badam Halwa of Embedded Systems" presentations [3]. The attendees were Computer Science and Information Technology Department students, and faculty. I would like to thank Mrs. K. Jaya Bharathi, Head of the Computer Science Department, for coordinating with me for the past one month in organizing this workshop. They don't yet have a Fedora Lab. I have provided them with Fedora 10, 11 repositories for their offline use (53 GB). I have also given them Fedora 10, 11 DVDs. They are interested in a MoU between Fedora project and their college. Do we have anything similar along these lines? Ghatkesar is 25 km from Hyderabad, and one hour drive from Hyderabad through NH-7 [4].

So, what collaboration they are looking for? E.g, are they looking for internship/project in fedora where students can participate? Or are they going to adopt some curricula to be supported by fedora people? There must be some definitive goal to be achieved out of it. I don't know if I could express what I want to say. :) -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from Calcutta, WB, India From no-reply at boxbe.com Sat Aug 22 14:15:57 2009 From: no-reply at boxbe.com (no-reply at boxbe.com) Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:15:57 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: [fedora-india] [Event Report] ACE College of Engineering, Ankushapur, Ghatkesar, India (Action Required) Message-ID: <345015257.213556.1250950558562.JavaMail.prod@app004.boxbe.com> Hello susmit shannigrahi, This message serves as notification that you will not receive any more courtesy notices from our members for two days.

No ambassador is out there by himself. But if you need assistance have you asked here or of FAmSCo directly? It really does require local people to really make things happen locally.

This is most unacceptably bad. And as good as no report. We would like to hear about it in more details and with pics. Please do send a detailed report about your event along with pictures, lets say, before next Sunday.

I just got subscription confirmation to this list. Here is an event report. We have conducted a one day LAMP workshop on 19th August, at Mepco Schlenk Engineering college, Sivakasi, TamilNadu for the Final year students.The session started with fundamental web technology and ended up exploring PHP,Perl python with MySQL. There were totally 120 participants from both the classes including the CSE and IT. I helped the trainers, by setting up the lab with 60+ Fedora 11 boxes and assisting participants in hands on. Mr. Ravi Jaya, one of the trainer distributed Fedora DVD's to the participants, which were provided by Rahul Sundaram . Thanks Rahul .

I'll write more about this in greater detail in the future, but my assessment is that we have quite a bit of energy in Egypt (in particular Cairo), and I'd love to help our Ambassadors there organize a Fedora Activity Day, or a mid-to-large-size event somewhere in the next 6-9 months. In general, FAMSCO needs guidance from the local Ambassadors as to what events offer good opportunities, or as to whether it's possible to get together a group of students at a University, etc. for some Fedora talks. It's not "every ambassador for themselves" but we do rely on local Ambassadors to figure out what sort of strategy might make sense for their region, and write about it to the list. --Max From nayyares at gmail.com Mon Aug 24 12:45:07 2009 From: nayyares at gmail.com (Nayyar Ahmad) Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:45:07 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Who are the Regional Co-Ordinators?

Superb! Looking forward to hearing more :) Thanks, Nayyar. --Max From karlie_robinson at webpath.net Mon Aug 24 21:45:06 2009 From: karlie_robinson at webpath.net (Karlie Robinson) Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:45:06 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] Boston trip Follow up Message-ID: <4A9309E2.905@webpath.net> Lately, I've been working with the Rochester Institute of Technology on a project that is a mix of Fedora, OLPC, Sugar Labs and Teaching Open Source projects. As a capstone to the Open Source Development class held in the Spring '09 quarter at RIT [1] I was able to take a field trip to Boston with Dave Farning of Sugar Labs, Wes Dillingham, Tyler Bragdon & Eric Mallon RIT Co-Op students, and their Co-op Adviser, Fred Grose. Here's a brief breakdown of the days and what was accomplished. Monday - 10Aug - Travel and Dinner at John Harvard's with Mel Chua and Adam Holt of OLPC. Tuesday - 11Aug - MIT Museum - Toured Exhibits in the morning and used work space to Test Sugar's Jabber Server Features in the afternoon. Minus a few hours for lunch and missed rendezvous we were at the Museum from open until close. Caroline Meeks of Solution Grove joined us for the afternoon work session. At dinner that evening we were joined by Dogi of OLPC and Caroline Meeks. Wednesday - 12Aug- Flagship Computer Clubhouse [2] at the Boston Museum of Science. We initially met with Keith Simmons, who is the Technology Manager for the Computer Club House Network and also an RIT alum. We met Keith through Steve Jacobs the RIT class Prof. Keith was then able to introduce us to Marlon Orozco the Flagship Clubhouse coordinator and some clubhouse alums who continue to use the facilities for some outstanding work. The space was great, and there was some more testing Sugar applications and filing bug reports. For the record, I didn't actively participate in the code-it, test-it, file-a-report activities. I'm more of a social engineer - if that's the right term. I did try to fill my brain with everything I could about the folks in the clubhouse so that I can use it to make connections later. I also got a very important email inviting our groups to present our educational outreach activities at Ontario Linux Fest this fall. (So if you'd like to present something, there's still time to send in your ideas) Thursday - 13Aug - We spent the afternoon back at the Computer Clubhouse - this time with Kids! A group of children were in the clubhouse and we were able to set up all the machines with Sugar on a Stick and allow them to play. The group was able to get some very important insight from the kids on how the software behaves and how the children use it. Before I move on to Friday, I want to pass on Keith's desire to do more Open Source within the Computer Clubhouse network. Following up and being a point of FOSS contact for the computer club house is on my list. Friday - 14Aug - Red Hat Offices Westford, MA. Our field trip group plus Adam and Dogi of OLPC took over a conference room at Red Hat Offices. We need to thank M?ir?n Duffy for helping us get comfortable and Luke Macken for hosting and for joining in on some of our sessions. The tasks for the day were to brain storm along the lines of Teaching Open Source. We broke off into groups and discussed what we could have done better for the students and what we could have done better with the community. Mel Chua helped the Co-ops get their thoughts out so that other students can benefit from what we were able to learn. The consensus was that we overloaded both sides of the equation. Too much info with the students (what's GIT? Why IRC? Who to ask? etc), and too many people to mentor for the community to absorb without notice. While we didn't find a magic potion to deal with these issues, we did make progress. Most of what we learned will end up in the wiki at http://TeachingOpenSource.org if it hasn't been added already. Saturday - 15Aug - Free day. Only One formal meeting was scheduled for Dave, Fred, Eric and Tyler to conference call with William Schaub on his Teotwawki Network [3]. Later that evening, Wes, Fred and I did meet up with Adam Holt for a small, informal, Beer SIG which is a LUG of Rochester tradition. Sunday - 16Aug - Returning home. I should formally thank Fred for putting the trip together and for allowing me to tag along. I hope I can use the insight gained on the trip to better coordinate needs between the organizations I got to know while in Boston. While I'm not a coder, I do hope I can play a role matching up people and solutions where they'll have the most impact for FOSS.

Message-ID: EMEA Ambassadors, We've got about 2 months left in the Fedora 11 release cycle. Looking at the EMEA events page, I only see two events between now and F12's release that would need media: * Software Freedom Day in Stockholm (Roger Sinel) * OpenExpo in Winterthur (Fabian Affolter) ====== A while back, we took an inventory of what was left from the FUDCon Berlin media, and made sure that the FrOSCon folks had CDs, etc. I already know that Roger Sinel needs some media in Stockholm, but I'm not sure what Fabian's situation is. So, the purpose of this email is to: (1) Find out if Fabian has the media he needs for OpenExpo. (2) Find out who has leftover F11 media that they aren't using, and could ship to Roger in Stockholm. ====== I'd rather not have to go back to the production company for a small run of extra F11 media, and instead save our money for F12 media, and because we're working on getting together a new tshirt order for EMEA as well. More details about swag status, production, and distribution to be expected coming out of FAD EMEA next month. --Max From christoph.wickert at googlemail.com Tue Aug 25 13:42:04 2009 From: christoph.wickert at googlemail.com (Christoph Wickert) Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:42:04 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] refreshing CDs/DVDs in EMEA?

I have quite a bit of F11 media in NA. If I can help by sending some of it across the pond let me know.

As you have your regional meetings in the next weeks, it would be great if each region of the world could figure out a few things about its plans for September - November/December. (a) what its plan is for getting Fedora 12 media in November, and how much it thinks it needs. (b) What the big events that need funding are, the plans for those events, etc. (c) What kind of swag (flyers, shirts, stickers, buttons, etc.) are needed in the region, the plan for producing them, and potential cost. By mid-September, I'm hoping we can have a clear picture of what is needed to support Fedora all over the world through the end of F11 and beginning of F12, so that when our final budget for FAMSCo is set, we can divide it up and spend it appropriately worldwide.

The camp was organized by me (Pankaj kumar), Nishanti, Anurag Jain, Sanjeev Gopinath,and J.Dwarak.The response was very good and all became happy when we distributed fedora 11 dvds and stickers. The session was started at 11.00 am by Nishanti (the host of the event) who described the agenda for the event and the Dwarak started his seminar on OPEN SOURCE and LINUX. He told what OPENSOURCE is and connected it to the corporate world. After that I came and explained about FEDORA , Fedora subprojects, and then features of fedora. Anurag told the installation of fedora and demonstrated some softwares. Sanjeev took FEDORA ELECTRONIC LAB and he explained how one can design electronic board using fedora electronic lab. While he was explaining I designed basic AND gate in DIGITAL DESIGNER and simulate that. I felt very excited while doing that.Then Sanjeev explaining C/C++ and JAVA coding which was complied by me. Anurag gave very important links to the audience which is very helpfull after first time fedora installation. At the end of Sanjeev?s session we demonstrated GNOME Desktop features and COMPIZ, audience were very excited to see these all. At the end we distributed fedora 11 DVDs and stickers and then we end the session at 1.30pm . At the end of session we had party for organizers [image: :)].

Or is it likely I would already have some F12 media for OpenRheinRuhr? I already took some F11 media with me from FrOSCon this weekend, those actually are: 4 Installation DVDs, 64Bit; 3 Installation DVDs 32 Bit and two Live Media, one KDE and one GNOME.

This is Sanjeev Gopinath V, co-organiser of the Fedora Event at SASTRA University. I'd like to add more to Pankaj. The event witnessed a wide set of audience such as ones from B.Tech, MCA & M.Tech and belonging to a range of branches including Computer Science, Biotechnology and Electronics Engg. As of now, there has been a considerable improvement in the user base of Fedora and we're constantly recieving mails about the session and queries about Fedora, its features and how to stuffs..! In a nutshell, everyone liked it, and I'm sure we're coming up with one more informative session inorder to sustain and improve the user base of Fedora at SASTRA University. Probably a Fedora Week (Lets try Fedora Season 1) kind of stuff. Thanks for the support provided by the Fedora Community by sending us the required DVDs and stickers. p.s.

We do have a little bit of work to get done on that opening night and it would be great if we could all meet up at the booth as close to 3pm local time as we can to begin the booth set up. We have from 3pm to 9pm to get the booth in shape but it would be nice if we could get it done before 6pm if possible. Paul perhaps can shed some light on where we need to gather. After we set up the booth, which really shouldn't take very long as all the booth supplies should be there waiting for us, Paul would like to talk with us for a short time about our activities at the Summit representing Fedora. Then we can get registered and head as a group to the welcome reception to enjoy each other's company and eat some Chicago style food including deep dish pizza and hot dogs (Chicago style hot dogs might be a little different than your every day hot dog). I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone next week, can't wait to get there and help in some way make this a great event for Fedora. See you all in Chicago!

Apologies, I'm still trying to figure out exactly where we will be -- as you can guess the Summit organizers are very busy and hard to get a hold of right now! :-) Nevertheless, we'll either be on the show floor (the partner pavilion) or in a prominent place along the main promenade. Either way, the Fedora booth will be very easy to find. > After we set up the booth, which really shouldn't take very long as > all the booth supplies should be there waiting for us, Paul would like > to talk with us for a short time about our activities at the Summit > representing Fedora. It won't take long -- essentially I just want to make sure everyone understands our booth duties & schedule, and that we have coverage at appropriate times. I've updated the wiki with a better table that follows the Summit schedule. I'd be deeply grateful if everyone attending could look at the table, compare it to the Summit agenda found here... http://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/2009/agenda/tracks/ ...and fill in a block or two when you feel comfortable holding down the booth. I will be there as much as humanly possible, but I do have to give my presentation, a series of press interviews, and a videotaping for our Creative team.

You know, the problems I've had with showing off Rhythmbox, Totem, VLC, other media players when doing installfests and demos is the codecs.? It's getting around that there are 3rd party repos available (for any distro) that can provide patent encumbered codecs to areas of the world (unfortunately U.S.) where this would constitute a huge no-no.? It needs to be driven home that MP3 (Fraunhofer), AAC/M4A (Apple), WMA (Microsoft), DVD decoders & codecs?all require moneys to be paid to each holder for the use of their patents which?is why Windows is so expensive.? Currently I see multimedia codecs available direct from the guys who make the gstreamer framework but I think the packages are only for Ubuntu & opensolaris.? I don't know why I'm hijacking the thread or bringing it up now but nine times out of ten when I meet & discuss or present it always turns into a "Windows equivalent" app to app issue where when you get to the multimedia, it's not as cut & dry.? I guess, bottom line, be careful when explaining benefits of FOSS to the newly initiated.? ? ????? -david. >Fedora-ambassadors-list?mailing?list ? >Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com ? >https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm going to get Roger some CDs shipped over from North America, and then we'll have everything we need for the events leading up to Fedora 12. We'll make more Fedora 12 CDs in Europe, and we won't have a FUDCon which will take away a huge number of them also. So, we're all set.

The artwork was taken from mairin's 4f's svg - they were in mairins fedorapeople space. I have it in my archives, but they are not accessible from where i am - till September. I know that typotex had a lot work to bring them in a format for their plotters.

Not to answer this question on behalf of Fedora and/or Red Hat, but I'm hosting a Lindependence/SFD event in Felton, California, and we'll have F11 discs and stuff available. To my knowledge, I believe Canonical is sending out disks to teams holding events, but it certainly shouldn't prevent ambassadors who are participating to offer Fedora media.

I think will be useful to know more. By the way Nicaragua have been awarded best SFD event for the last tow years too. We are pursuing to be named one of best event winner for third time in a row.

The advantage of more people around a table is that we will be able to cover more topics (from packaging over artwork to translation) and a strong presence there can strength the Fedora Project in Switzerland.

The session started with an introduction to Free software and philosophy.Then i explained various GNU/Linux commands and applications. Mailing list etiquettes were taught using shakthi's presentation (Thanks shakthi) . Introduced IRC and students were taught about getting help from various support channels. In afternoon session, it was all about Nmap , Ncat and Ettercap (FOSS Network Security tools) , students were taught about security risks of transmitting plain text passwords on the wire, ARP cache poisoning and DNS spoofing were demonstrated and explained using ettercap. Fedora 11 was installed in 30+ Lab machines for hands on. The response from the students was excellent. Hospitality was good. Fedora 11 DVDs were distributed to all the participants. I thank HOD of CSE department,KLN and Final year student Dhivakaran for organizing this event successfully.
