A local college asking me about it , and how they can get their students to be involved. 1) Do we have any defined guideline on how an Ambassador should manage/guide Campus Ambassadors? What we should do, etc.? As colleges and students might expect some sort of clear information on what their students and the college itself can benefit out of it, outline of the programme, etc. 2) Regarding some of benefits for the Campus Ambassadors: # Stipends for running an event (pizza, soda, etc.) # Schwag to give out at events and a cool exclusive Campus Ambassadors, t-shirt # Earn a trip to FUDCon!!! These 3 benefits involves money (especially the final one). Malaysia ambassadors have been moving mainly on our own cost for the past 2 years, so we might need more support in term of ease to acquire swags / stipends if we want to start supporting Campus Ambassador program for local colleges and students.

What else can we request from RH-APAC besides CDs and whats the limit per request?

There is a lot of interest in participating in it around the world. I'll task myself with organizing a meeting and announcing it so we can talk about these issues. It has been on my to-do list for a while now. > 2) Regarding some of benefits for the Campus Ambassadors: > > # Stipends for running an event (pizza, soda, etc.) > # Schwag to give out at events and a cool exclusive Campus Ambassadors, t-shirt > # Earn a trip to FUDCon!!! > > These 3 benefits involves money (especially the final one).

So I don't know how this will shake out. We likely will regionalize it and budget things for each region from that region's ambassador funding I would guess. Maybe someone else has a different idea about that?

Hi Gerold, thanks a lot for this information and especially for organizing this event. Last weekend we have been thinking a lot about where to hold the next FUDCon, for example you, Max and me on the suburban train on our way to C-Base. I agree with Max that events should rotate. Just like we cannot have the next European FUDCon in Germany again, FAD should not take place in Germany this time. We already had Rheinfelden 2 years ago and last year we were at Basel, which is only 20 km away from Rheinfelden. If this FAD is meant to be the event for all ambassadors in EMEA, it should take place elsewhere. But this is just my opinion and not really important since I'm not going to attend the event anyway since I'm trying to focus on more technical stuff. I'm sure everybody will have a great time in Rheinfelden and I hope the numerous discussions will bear fruit for all our community.

My thoughts for 2010 are the same as they were a year ago for 2009: - We should not make LinuxTag our primary event in Europe. Maybe we shouldn't even be present there at all. ...that opinion was/is widely shared, discussed and still ignored. Everything else is handled throughout the year, anyway. Mostly behind closed doors, anyway. And mostly decided upon by only 1 or 2 people, anyway. By the way, during FAD EMEA 2008 you told us you are in contact with a vendor to produce, sell and ship Fedora merchandise all over Europe. I probably missed the link to that shop, which was established during the last 7 or so months. I also missed every status update on that. Let me bring this down to the most important points (all IMHO): - (During FAD), 2-3 people's votes/opinion count while the others are merely ignored - During FAD, many things are decided upon or promised to be worked on but normally nothing happens about those things after on - Rheinfelden (particularly the Castle of Beuggen) is badly connected with public transports and there's no (good) bars/restaurants nearby I'm sure you can now understand why I won't attend this FAD. Even though I see things that should be discussed and things that need to be changed.

I remember saying that as a stand-alone event, we could not invest in LinuxTag the same way that we had in past years. Because we held FUDCon there this year, it was still a large event, but in my opinion, next year's LinuxTag is "just another event".

Every Ambassador who wants to take responsibility for something can do so, and I make sure that everyone gets the resources that they need. What is being decided behind closed doors, or only by one or two people? When has a decision been made, for which no explanation was given? I think that every ambassador in Europe has their own freedom to get stuff done, whenever they want. I try to tell everyone "yes" who wants to do an activity. > By the way, during FAD EMEA 2008 you told us you are in contact with a > vendor to produce, sell and ship Fedora merchandise all over Europe.

Rheinfelden is near yours (it's Gerold's home town for those who didn't know), but it's far away from my place. This is why I think that the ambassadors days should rotate. > if you don't want to bring your > thoughts into face-to-face discussion, ... > ... then I totally agree with you, staying at home. > > And yes, once again: FAD can be done by everyone (and to be honest: should > be done by everyone). According to FAS we have 26 ambassadors at Germany. Should they all announce a FAD? Come on, be serious! We cannot have 26 FADs in Germany within a year. The truth is: The number of FADs per year is limited. Financial resources are limited and so are the topics on the agenda [1]. We cannot have a FAD that decides to do a set of events in 2010 while other ambassadors at another FAD decide to do completely different ones. And because the FAD is unique for a country/region and a year/term/quarter it should rotate, so that all (interested) ambassadors can attend and participate in decision-making. > And btw. it is not a must to attend, it's a event > for friends, for active ambassadors willing to bring the FEDORA forward > and use "the space for improvement" ... Even if I do not attend I consider myself an active ambassador.

In the past the abbreviation was for "Fedora Ambassadors Day" and this is what Gerold is talking about. Meanwhile FAD was changed to "Fedora Activity Day", which can include all kinds of activities but not only ambassador's talk.

Give talks, hold events, promote Fedora, etc. to the student, staff, and faculty of your campus. Aside from that I don't necessarily think there are any different "eligibility" requirements. I think the campus ambassadors being defined as a separate group from the rest is purely because campus life is far different from everywhere else and the idea is to have a group of resources who all operate as Ambassadors in a campus environment and are able to help one another in their efforts. -Adam -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments From tatica at fedoraproject.org Thu Jul 2 13:40:44 2009 From: tatica at fedoraproject.org (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Mar=EDa_Leandro?=) Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2009 09:10:44 +1930 Subject: [Ambassadors] [Report] Fisl10 - Brasil/Porto Alegre Message-ID: <27a6293b0907020640w5b4cbdccw2ea4ce68e55538e7@mail.gmail.com> Hello to all. It is with great pleasure that I send you the summary of activities and the list of new projects which consensus was reached over at the first FUDcon LATAM (Fedora Users and Developers Conference of Latin America), which took place at FISL10 (Festival Internacional de Software Livre 10). Before I begin, I would like to give a very special thanks to Rodrigo Padula de Oliveira, because of his efforts to achieve Latin American unification. Every year a number of ambassadors, based on meritocracy, can attend events such as this to share, learn and teach; so Rodrigo, thank you for this great opportunity for cultural and professional exchange from all us. Likewise, I would like to give many thanks to the guys from the Fedora community in Brazil, thanks for your patience trying to understand us, for your enthusiasm in teaching us how you have become so successful and have accomplished so much; and also for keeping an eternal smile on our faces for the whole of the five days we were in Brazil, I am sure that each of you has left a special mark on all of us. And last but not least, to ourselves ... Latam friends; Ricardo and Matias from Argentina, Neville from Nicaragua, Nushio from Mexico and me (tatica) from Venezuela. We had a great opportunity to discuss many things and I hope that this opportunity will come up again for us because I believe that we all benefited hugely from it. Now we can get into the details of the conference. I've tried to divide the information into several sections so that those that have some particular interest have an index of what's covered: * FISL 10 * FUDcon LATAM. * New structure to Fedora Latam. =========================== FISL 10 =========================== In particular, we completely outdid ourselves when we said that the FISL is the largest Free Software event in Latin America, since we achieved an approximate attendance of 8,000 people (thx for correcting me Nushio). It's an event which is characterized by showing the path that free software has followed in all areas; we were in the exhibit hall with a lot of distributions, software houses, applications and user groups. The event also follows an extensive itinerary with conferences held by each area: some 150 conferences were held (or perhaps even more, I think). One of the best things at FISL 10 was the presence of the President of Brazil, Mr. Lula da Silva, on the Friday, who showed us a particular interest in learning more about freedom and he left us with a phrase which I believe contains some of the ideals we strive for in our community ... "It is forbidden to forbid." The event had an impressive list of conferences to satisfy anyone's tastes. There were basic topics, some more advanced talks about projects in development and many more things that always filled the room. Furthermore, in the exhibitors hall, it was always difficult to walk due to the amount of people, and I think there were more than 1000 meters of open exhibition, many cushions to sit down on and chat, programming areas, obsolete computers recovered with some artistic themes... this was the perfect opportunity to have everything to do with technology under one roof. =========================== FUDcon LATAM =========================== The FUDcon LATAM was held on Thursday and Friday because, under agreement, Fedora got a conference room specifically for this activity. Likewise, I believe that in particular the conferences given by Michael Tiemann, Dennis Gilmore and Toshio Kuratomi gave a special touch to the event, showing us more about the inner workings of the International Fedora Project. >From Fedora Latam came a talk orientated towards technical education which featured topics such as developing a framework for robotics education and success stories of fedora in labs for schools, reusing old PC hardware from the 486sx onwards, with 4 MB ram. The lecture was given by Fedora Argentina and was the only one offered in Spanish. It should be noted that this project has already been implemented in 15 schools in Argentina and is supported by the Ministry of Education. After all the talks we had a general meeting where we discussed various topics, list progress and proposals from the international community, Brazil and LATAM, to generate a new scheme of work that can help us to grow even more. =========================== New structure to Fedora Latam. =========================== I think the most valuable thing that Nushio, Matias, Ricardo, Neville and I were able to learn about the success of the Brazilian Fedora community is that when there is order, it is much easier to do more things. For that reason, after much talk amongst ourselves and with the leaders of each project in Brazil, we will split off some activities so as to be more efficient in the activities that have differentiated us from everybody else. We consider that this constitution does not formally include Brazilian members, because we want to concentrate more on developing the community in our native language, although the leaders of the Brazilian teams will be our permanent consultants whilst we achieve our organizational goal.

Indeed, this is a sign of the maturity of our Ambassadors program. I'd be curious to see how openSUSE later incorporates what we're working on now in other areas, like Ambassador mentorship (Joerg Simon's work with FAmSCo comes to mind). As a vanguard, Fedora should always be looking ahead to how we can improve our project and processes, and that should naturally include looking at other project's refinements of our innovations. My hope is that we will continue to lead in this space, though, and further innovate in the way we build communities worldwide. -- Paul W.

Absolutely correct. You can set up your email client to use "user at fedoraproject.org" as a From: address, but it's up to your mail provider to allow sending from it properly. I happen to use GMail which allows me to do this, and I have hooks set up in my Mutt client so that when I respond to mail to my "pfrields at fp.o" address, my response comes from that address as well. -- Paul W.

When results come, people follow the model. That's definitely a good news for Fedora Ambassadors and all the Open Source community.

If I might make a suggestion, for some of the FADs we've begun using the technology available in Fedora to improve remote attendance. For the Raleigh, NC (US) Development FAD, and for the Documentation FAD, we used Fedora Talk to broadcast voice from our meeting space. We used IRC Freenode #fad to allow anyone to attend and send in questions and input. We used Gobby (at gobby.fedoraproject.org) to capture notes and other syllabus information. And of course we used the wiki to capture the overall agenda and work items. With a combination of these features, it is possible to have representation at a FAD without being physically present. It takes only a very small additional effort by the people organizing the FAD. Perhaps this could help with some of the issues being raised by people about the FAD. If the objection is primarily geography, I would remind everyone that we as a project are scattered across the globe and yet we still manage to work together well as a team.

The prices are as follows: douple room: EUR 40 /person incl. breakfast 3/5 room: EUR 28 / person incl. breakfast Registration will be closed down on July 8th (because of fixed reservation of the rooms). As add. information for everybody: This is an Fedora Activity Day (there was some confusion the last days over the ML) and audience to participate trys to plan events, budget and participations of each single person (who attends) for the EMEA events in 2010. It would be nice if you attend ... If you will be maybe owner of an event in 2010 let us know your needs that we can also can take care for it (CDs, DvD, Flyer, Shirts, SWAG in general and also money you need). The Board of Fedora EMEA e.V. will also be present and participate that event.

Can the participation Ambassadors, take a few seconds at the end of the month to close, any "pending" tickets, that have not been accepted. With maybe a "Pleae try again, next month". Over time pending requests can mount up considerably. With that in mind, more volunteers are always appreciated by the Freemedia program, by those in a position to do so: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia_Infrastructure_SOP "Accepted" tickets, are a different story, in some cases there is no follow-up. Months some have been there, without any further comment only "accepted" ( pending: some do not even get that far, comment, but not marked accepted) These can also mount up, all out standing "accepted", with no comments. Should be closed with a "shipping status unknown" at end of month. #1 from the requesters point of view. "What are Fedora playing at?" The first interaction with Fedora could leave a lasting negative impression. #2 form the Ambassadors point of view. "Is he ok?, sick etc. Would a fellow country ambassador, do some follow-up. This could let the contributor, you are not alone. You have friends. #3 from the programs pov. Communicate: to both the requester, and your contributors.

Why don't use (fill) these spaces with events we cover (invites and reports)? I think we should really consider this way in order to spread our activities among people, who, maybe, don't use Fedora Planet/IRC/Mailing lists in their daily life and could be intested to join an event in their own city. (It's an experiment, we need to investigate on the real benefits). If this is another way to promote our activities, at the same time, it requires someone behind it to make the machine work. I want to invite who is interested (without, naturally, taking you normal Ambassadors activity time) to work with me on this initiative. Just to give some concrete elements, this is something we could work with: 1)Twitter: create a Fedora >>Events<< channel (the Fedora_linux seems more feature oriented) 2)Facebook: use Fedora Page (and/or Group) and its calendar function to promote events/activities and use the Dashboard to post reports. 3)Investigate on the other social tools. If you agree on this proposal, we could start the discussion (maybe organizing an IRC meeting) and start planning the activity. Naturally the decision is up to you. Regards Francesco Ugolini p.s.

Your points are good ones, Francesco. I'd like to suggest that this work be done n coordination with the Marketing team. Further, I'd like to suggest that as much as possible we try to use existing networks, groups, and channels that have large numbers of subscribers already, if the event listings target the whole Fedora Project. I frequently receive email from people asking if they should create *new* groups on existing networks. I think this is justified if the new group will be language or locality specific. The new local group should always have information available for people to find and join the larger, global groups. Also, they should have information for people to find and join the Fedora Project itself, and encourage people to get involved beyond their locality where possible. I think the Ambassadors do a spectacular job of this already, and we should try our best to make the same thing happen in social networks that Ambassadors already do "IRL" (in real life). -- Paul W.

Sure, get in touch with mktg team is an absolutely "to-do" thing towards the investigation of the possibilities. Sure, that's why I suggested this proposal, because I feel some blank spaces in our public spaces, and I ask myself why not to use for Events (one of the most natural activity in the project). I was talking about the actual Fedora Page and Group in facebook and about the Twitter channel (btw, the suggestion of a new #channel, was just made to not overwhelm an official announcement channel with dozen and dozen of events). > I think the Ambassadors do a spectacular job of this already, and we > should try our best to make the same thing happen in social networks > that Ambassadors already do "IRL" (in real life). Sure! We will follow this suggestion, along with all the points pointed above.

I would like to suggest that we divide responsibility i.e. we let one or two ambassador handle a particular network. We can further have country/region specific threads running on it. which can further managed by country/region specific ambassador. We should further try our best to avoid creating multiple spaces or threads of same country/region as it will only lead to confusion and mismanagement. -- Aditya Patawari http://blog.adityapatawari.com/ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adimania Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra India -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I had the opportunity to give a conference, as a Fedora Ambassador, to a local University (Guadalajara, Jalisco, M?xico), called "Enrique D?az de Le?n". The conference was to their first generation of software engeneering; they're 2nd semester so far. They're learning C and C++ as main languages there. The career director (that's what we call the teacher in charge of the whole major) is very interested in GNU & Linux and knows nothing about it. They gave me short notice and I didn't have the time to request for advice and/or material. I'll attach the presentation I gave in hopes that you can see it right. I screwed up and didn't realize that drag & drop doesn't "attach" the images to a presentation so, as soon as I deleted the screenshots, I lost them in the presentation... but I managed to export a PDF before that. I'll include both for this reason. I'd like to say that I made it perfectly clear that I'm a fedora ambassador and that I would be presenting stuff around our distro... but, with an ecumenical sense of duty, I presented some other options and recommended that they should try everything and not just ubuntu (as mexico always does) and, obviously, while joking a bit, always said that ubuntu was crap and fedora was the best there was by pointing out our strengths and qualities. Anyway, they loved it and they would like to assist to our LUG (LinuxCabal) and take courses and participate. I also told them that they should participate in the global Community; that they'd learn a lot more (the hard way) about software development and good practices. Oh well, this was a long email. Just wanted to tell you guys what I was doing. Feel free to recommend stuff and re-use everything you can. # Attachments http://downloads.woralelandia.com/presentaciones/20090702 - GNU & Linux en tu vida.odp http://downloads.woralelandia.com/presentaciones/20090702 - GNU & Linux en tu vida.pdf -- It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle!

Since I came back to Venezuela from Fudcon LATAM I was talking with some companies abot what can they do for us. In this particular issue, one of them told me that they have 2 classrooms that I can use wherever I want (if is no bussy, of course) So I was wondering if there is a project like Fedora Classroom but made in person. (Caracas and Maracay // Venezuela) I think I can do some activities every month, but I'll like to have some feedback about this; and if anyone is interested on help us with some videoconferences or video-workshops. :D. We already made our first activity, a hacklab, with 15-20 people. I think it could be great if we share some month (2 month, 4 month) with other cities arround the world and share experiences. Thx to John Rose (inode0) to help me with the voip system and Brasil guys to help with the video stream :D Next Fedora-Clasroom will be August 1rst; so if anyone is interested can send me a mail with any topic and I'll add to the itinerary.

I've also had talks with people from FreeJ/Dyne:bolic and from CentOS about sharing space, primarily because we all shared the same space last summer at Eth-0 and it worked out great. So without further ado: The FAD at Random 2009 will be held near Vierhouten, August 15th at Hacking at Random. The topic of the FAD will be Media and Media arts using Open Source in general and Fedora in particular. The format will be pretty free form. There will be a few tents for hacking in and a tent with a projector to do presentations. We will hold a barcamp where people can do presentations or just show off demos. Some people from the village will also be VJing sporadically during the event, although the entire thing is ad-hoc. We will also be forming a village between these four groups for the duration of HAR, so be there or be something not round. -Yaakov From herlo1 at gmail.com Sun Jul 5 22:58:30 2009 From: herlo1 at gmail.com (Clint Savage) Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 16:58:30 -0600 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora Classroom helpers needed In-Reply-To: <20090705165438.5ec42acd@ohm.scrye.com> References: <20090705165438.5ec42acd@ohm.scrye.com> Message-ID: As part of the Fedora Classroom team, we're looking for more helpers.

Christopher, It may be helpful to actually suggest these things either on the Classroom wiki or in the Fedora Classroom Mailing list. (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/classroom to sign up). I am not sure the Ambassadors list is the right place to make these suggestions.

Not for any technical reason (I remember using it without any problem) but for an administrative problem. In about a year or less the machine will running out of support/updates (2 * 6 month life cycle) so you are going to need to migrate. Also, I've no numbers to support this, but I think that the kernel for Fedora is changing more often than the kernel for RedHat/CentOS so you should restart the machine more often which is not a good idea in a server. That's why I always recommend Fedora for desktop but for servers you should use RedHat or CentOS. Regards -- "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

(08:38:31 PM) inode0: yeah, thus far I've been leaving it up to them (08:38:42 PM) ke4qqq: slipp3d: hanging around IRC is good - join more than the amb mailing list - at least fab, but also docs, design, and devel. (08:38:44 PM) slipp3d: inode0, I can under stand that but being new is hard to know when you are over stepping... and i don't want to be one that falls in the cracks and drops (08:38:58 PM) ke4qqq: slipp3d: you aren't ever overstepping (08:38:59 PM) inode0: do not worry about overstepping! (08:39:08 PM) inode0: you can do whatever you want :) (08:39:21 PM) lcafiero: dthomasdigital: https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/ (08:39:31 PM) ke4qqq: there are things you can't do - but those are in ForbiddenItems or CodeofConduct (08:39:36 PM) ke4qqq: you won't step on anyone's toes (08:39:47 PM) slipp3d: cheers ... lcafiero i lost that link (08:39:59 PM) inode0: slipp3d: what sorts of things are you interested in doing with us? (08:40:00 PM) ke4qqq: you might want to toss the idea out on the mailing list - just to avoid duplication (08:40:01 PM) lcafiero: No prob. (08:40:54 PM) inode0: I would like to mention one thing before I forget (08:41:18 PM) inode0: We sent 1,000 tattoos to both the EMEA FUDcon and the LATAM FUDcon (08:41:23 PM) slipp3d: thats just it ... inode0... there is lost that i would like to do (help out with events ect ... but i'm out in the sticks and not much happens around my area) (08:41:40 PM) lcafiero: the sticks are . . . slipp3d? (08:41:42 PM) ke4qqq: slipp3d: define sticks (08:41:44 PM) inode0: while davdunc isn't here tonight I do want to thank him one more time for making this happen (08:42:00 PM) inode0: folks all around the world have enjoyed them already (08:42:03 PM) dthomasdigital: inode0 how did the case badges go over? (08:42:13 PM) inode0: dthomasdigital: was getting to you next :) (08:42:16 PM) ke4qqq: case badges are awesome dthomasdigital !!!!!! (08:42:32 PM) lcafiero: +1 ke4qqq (08:42:48 PM) inode0: yes, they are reported by everyone to be the nicest case badges ever (08:42:52 PM) slipp3d: Montana... (08:43:04 PM) lcafiero: Big Sky Country. (08:43:08 PM) dthomasdigital: Very happy it worked out. (08:43:16 PM) slipp3d: yep ... big sky and nothing around (08:43:34 PM) StabbyMc: dthomasdigital: I've been trying to tell you that all my counterparts at RH are SOOOOOOO jealous. (08:43:39 PM) inode0: unfortunately they were a little late to go to the FUDcons this year (08:43:42 PM) slipp3d: is there a laptop badge / tattoo? (08:44:34 PM) inode0: slipp3d: yes, we got both this Q (08:45:03 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: since you popped in any word? (08:45:19 PM) ke4qqq: StabbyMc: you're going to be at ALF??? (08:45:23 PM) lcafiero: slipp3d, yep. Nice items, too. (08:45:46 PM) ke4qqq: is there any other contributors in the ATL area - I noticed stickster_afk and I are slated to speak (08:45:48 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: spevak has been conspicuously abscent from ambassadors. (08:45:57 PM) StabbyMc: And I know I butchered the speeling of that. (08:46:29 PM) lcafiero: No, you spelled conspicuously right (08:46:39 PM) lcafiero: :-) (08:46:40 PM) inode0: spevack not so much (08:46:48 PM) StabbyMc: ke4qqq: too early to tell yet. (08:46:52 PM) slipp3d: lcafiero, where would i get some fedora swag (08:47:16 PM) inode0: we give away swag at events :) (08:47:25 PM) lcafiero: If you're from Montana, you'd be in herlo's territory. Go to https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/ and request some, which I think is the place to order it. (08:47:37 PM) inode0: if you have an event you can request some swag for it (08:47:45 PM) StabbyMc: ke4qqq: I haven't gotten my work schedule out into September yet. But as it's a Saturday, very probably. (08:47:47 PM) slipp3d: right but if i would like some ... outside of an event (08:48:30 PM) inode0: we don't really just send people swag - but check with us not in a meeting about it (08:48:38 PM) ke4qqq: ok - they are hitting me up for us to produce lanyards or bags or whatever - I don't think I'd have a problem giving them money - just have no time to do production as well. (08:48:48 PM) lcafiero: Lanyards are cool. (08:48:59 PM) inode0: expensive when I checked last though (08:49:05 PM) ke4qqq: yeah (08:49:10 PM) lcafiero: Yeah, probably. (08:49:17 PM) dthomasdigital: Good knows I need all that stuff for NMGLF is a huge undertaking (08:49:18 PM) lcafiero: But Debian charges for theirs now (08:49:26 PM) ke4qqq: SELFs lanyards were donated or we wouldn't have had them (08:49:28 PM) lcafiero: At least they did at LinuxWorld last year. (08:50:40 PM) inode0: ke4qqq: how many people are expected? (08:51:09 PM) ke4qqq: last year they had 150 - no idea how many they expect this year. 200 maybe 300. (08:51:16 PM) ke4qqq: it really strikes me as ATL-centric (08:51:22 PM) inode0: because getting a Fedora lanyard vendor in the bank would be excellent IMO (08:51:25 PM) ke4qqq: or at least GA-centric (08:51:40 PM) ke4qqq: I'll see who did SELF's and see what we can do with it. (08:52:12 PM) StabbyMc: Agree with ke4qqq: very GA centric. (08:52:17 PM) lcafiero: The tattoos are a hit, at least at one LUG meeting here. (08:53:05 PM) dthomasdigital: I'd be interested in a fedora lanyard vendor for NMGLF, would be great . (08:53:10 PM) inode0: well, again please make requests now for stuff you want later this year (08:53:37 PM) inode0: we may have some money available this Q that can purchase some supplies for later events (08:55:50 PM) dthomasdigital: cool (08:56:17 PM) inode0: dthomasdigital: would you rather have Fedora lanyards or general sponsorship if it came to that? (08:57:02 PM) dthomasdigital: general sponsorship, I think I could do more with that (08:58:48 PM) ***inode0 would like to stick a cork in it at the top of the hour tonight (08:58:59 PM) slipp3d: +1 (08:59:20 PM) inode0: Please join us back in #fedora-ambassadors to continue any discussion (08:59:33 PM) inode0: 5 (08:59:36 PM) inode0: 4 (08:59:40 PM) inode0: 3 (08:59:43 PM) inode0: 2 (08:59:46 PM) inode0: 1 (08:59:50 PM) lcafiero: see ya in ambassadors (08:59:51 PM) inode0: /EOM From drkmafia at fedoraproject.org Wed Jul 8 14:15:00 2009 From: drkmafia at fedoraproject.org (oshan rubesinghe) Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2009 19:45:00 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] add a software to yum Message-ID: <27fe641e0907080715r236b2d40hc5515f6eda35f569@mail.gmail.com> how to add a software to yum installer? can i add axel to yum?

What does a lower level means? well it means I have just been convincing people to install Fedora and helping them to get it running (30 people this past month), temporarly I have dropped my blogging, writing and radio promotion of the project (the reason being on this last one that the radio station is from my University) and the first two being that this summer we are hosting a charity/service event in which we will capacitate people to help others. This project I must say is organized by my fellow scout rovers (yes, im still a Scout) , just letting you know so Im not considered "Inactive". On the other hand all my projects related to Fedora will continue on August 10th, my first day of school and the day this event closes; on a side note, guess which distro will be used for IT related activities (registration and general internet usage by the attendants)???, thats right Fedora. Last but not least could somebody help me getting some fancy "Fedora" dvds?? I will need 50 for the assistants and about 20 to give out on my radio show once it begins again. The event dvds would be required before August 6th, the ones for the radio station (getting a new show about open source software) before August 10th.

Ok Ambassador Candidates, please read the instructions i have already sent to you and check back with your mentor.

Shannon, Can you join us in #fedora-ambassadors on freenode? There are lots of us who would be happy to chat with you about your ideas and how to get resources. I think that may be a better communication channel to have a discussion in than the mailing list.

For example, ? su ? works absolutely fine in Ubuntu. However, if what you want is to become root on Ubuntu, then you'll have to use ? sudo ? as that's what the Ubuntu devs chose.

They are specialized in one distro only but many of them also offers a topic area for differences about distros. If you do not know what distro to choose, there are many common Linux discussion boards as well. By placing questions like "what is the difference of this versus that" one should use these forums. As I am Finnish, there are in example forums in Finnish: http://fedorasuomi.eu/keskustelu - Fedora related (new!) http://forum.ubuntu-fi.org - Ubuntu related http://linux.fi/foorumi - any linux related etc..

My typical answer when someone asks me what are the advantages of the Fedora distribution versus the Ubuntu distribution is that Fedora is blue, and blue is pretty :) People feel sufficiently surprised and intrigued so that I can then explain to them the differences in the objectives of the projects that are behind the distribution. Focusing on our objectives (innovation, FOSS only, always upstream) and trying not to diminish the merits of Ubuntu (or any other distribution, depending on who asks the question). ---------- Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) From msrazi at fedoraproject.org Sun Jul 12 14:33:51 2009 From: msrazi at fedoraproject.org (Mohd Syafarul Razi) Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 22:33:51 +0800 Subject: [Ambassadors] ubuntu & fedora In-Reply-To: <27fe641e0907120543p352e495fvafc69b98e615de70@mail.gmail.com> References: <27fe641e0907120543p352e495fvafc69b98e615de70@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <985E06D3A5E44CDFBFCE44B032FCBD38@prescott> >From my personal opinion, if you are new to linux or want to learn about linux try ubuntu.

There are a lot of webpages doing this. Please search a bit. I can put up a page for that too, but that will be overkill. For example, itouchmap.com/latlong.html there are a lot more using OSM/google map etc. > What notation and delimiters does the map use? You need to update your fas account. The FAS takes input in degrees. If you find it out in degree and minutes, please convert into fraction of degrees, like 1 degree 30 minutes = 1.5 degree, don't enter 1.30.

What do you mean ? On technical points ? On something else ? What concrete actions do you have in mind ? Right now, I can't think anything about this project, as it doesn't even seem to be defined :-/ On the other hand, we are already collaborating with other distributions. Developers from different distributions are working together on upstream projects like the kernel for example. Last week I was at a FOSS event in France, and I was during the whole week with members of other communities (Ubuntu, Mandriva, ArchLinux, etc.).

As for action, I'm thinking of a site that can easily allow for ideas to be cross referanced that it not specific to any distro. So, it makes a better Linux, as a whole.

I agree, the project isn't quite clear but, basically it wants to give Linux as a whole a stronger unified image to the general public, without confusing them. > Best Regards, - helofromseattle > Best regards, > > ---------- > > Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) > > -- > Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list > Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list From diamond_ramsey at hotmail.com Sun Jul 12 22:30:32 2009 From: diamond_ramsey at hotmail.com (David Ramsey) Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:30:32 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora 11 In-Reply-To: <929465.86658.qm@web46202.mail.sp1.yahoo.com> References: <929465.86658.qm@web46202.mail.sp1.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:21:45 -0700 From: leo.chad at yahoo.com.au To: fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora 11 Hello Everyone, Greetings. :) Chad, thank you for your posting. :) > I have introduced Fedora 11 to a training Organisation in Sydney and they will start using it and start adverising for to training people on Fedora.

Even when it is joking, people from outside don't understand this friendly war. In Nicaragua, I work closely with local groups from other distros. There are times where everybody shows their colors like DFD, FLISOL, and SFD. There are time where you fly low and help other flags, because you know they will do it for you next time. It is not easy to reach this maturity. As nice as it sounds it is not perfect, and time to time we have some issues. We have managed to overcome those issues so far. We have a monthly gathering, I organize it, and Fedora banners and posters are always a trademark of the event. But the event is multi-distro, no other colours are shown because other people don't bring them. We avoid "mine is better" talks. The aim is user support and social talk. Usually the request are for Ubuntu support, and always there are a bunch of CD/DVD from several distros. It has worked for us. This is kind of interaction is what this wiki is trying to promote? -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217 From nacross at gmail.com Sun Jul 12 23:38:30 2009 From: nacross at gmail.com (Neville A.

I think from the standpoint of accomplishing your stated goals the best way to do so is to work upstream. Comparatively, very little of what a user touches in a distribution comes from the distribution itself. Gnome comes Gnome, KDE from KDE, etc. The real problem is that people go and make changes, or patch things, and don't share that upstream. I am thrilled that Fedora has specific guidelines requiring that patches to packages be offered upstream, and I think it sets us apart. I think that Greg Kroah-Hartmann's keynote speech at Linux Plumbers Conference (it's on google video) should be mandatory viewing because it far better describes the problem I do a poor job of illustrating in the next sentences. The problem that I believe you are seeing is that various distributions run different versions, and a number of distributions change the defaults in a given application or desktop environment. So for instance, the RHEL5 desktop experience will never be what the Fedora 11 desktop experience is. Another important thing to think about is 'itches' A number of F/LOSS projects started, or are going down the path they are due to itches that developers needed to scratch. To give you an example - AIUI gnote was written to avoid the relatively large size increase in livecd images caused by Tomboy. They are essentially identical implementations written in different languages. Those itches and subsequent scratching are very important, trying to make things one size fits all rarely makes those itches go away. Those differences that you see are because the distributions have very different goals. Fedora, for instance, seeks to provide the best of free software, right now. RHEL, seeks to provide 7 years of API/ABI stability that they support Differences are a good thing - it means we can take advantage of each others differing work and experiences.

Actually for the time being, it should be more like a hour or less, because for now we have it generating the file on the hour and half hour and syncing to the proxies 10 minutes later than that, but it will probably change to daily at some point in the future. If it doesn't update during this time period, feel free to let us know, we had some issues earlier today, but I believe they are all fixed now.

I do think that people making changes and not pushing those changes back upstream is a problem, and for that particular problem yes, pushing patches back upstream might solve the problem. There are cases where that simply doesn't work. No one (except RHEL users) wants a patch from RHEL3 - because we are ~5 years down the road from RHEL3, and development has significantly moved on. That also holds true for virtually any distribution that isn't on the leading edge - by the time they get around to patching something, upstream development has likely moved on, and those patches may well be worthless. It's a very complex problem set quite honestly. Regardless this discussion is a bit OT - I think -devel might be a more pragmatic mailing list for getting participation on such a project as this mailing list is for those who represent Fedora to the outside world.

Mentoring this people is the right way. And if we see that one causes external effects which makes harm or confusion, we will put him back into the mentoring state.

I don't think this idea is defined enough to ask for input from the Fedora Board right now. My personal opinion is that much of what people call fragmentation is more a matter of differences in focus between communities. And that is not necessarily a bad thing. Free and open source communities can continue learning from each other without having to be exactly like one another. Freedom of choice is a strength, not a weakness. -- Paul W.

I don't think you need to put up a wiki page for this, but at least one page or one method should be mentioned on the page that you already set up.

Because mapping the coordinates to a location is hard, unless you have a gigantic table listing each city in the world and the geographic area it covers, so that you can find in which geographic area the marker is. The country is actually extracted from another field in your FAS account, so a simple solution would be to add a new field to specify the city, another field for the region, another field for...... Or, you can zoom in the map and look at the city name :) ---------- Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) From christoph.wickert at googlemail.com Mon Jul 13 15:40:17 2009 From: christoph.wickert at googlemail.com (Christoph Wickert) Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:40:17 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] ubuntu & fedora In-Reply-To: References: <7337131.121247475603729.JavaMail.iranzo@iranzo.usersys.redhat.com> <200907131136.22113.jsimon@fedoraproject.org> <7fc906ca0907130630q2396f804l380a766e113eeed3@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1247499617.2632.2.camel@localhost> Am Montag, den 13.07.2009, 19:03 +0530 schrieb arijit upadhyaya: > On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 7:00 PM, M Yakub Mizan<123mizan at gmail.com> wrote: > > Yes Thats Acceptable.i also applied for ambassadorship and i am waiting to > > go deeper into fedora and before that i even do not want to be an > > ambassador. > +1, same here!!

The Ambassadors is not a fan club, or user group, though we are all fans and users for the most part. The issue is that the function of the Ambassadors is to represent Fedora and serve as a liaison to the wider free software community and the public at large. The problem arises when those people tasked with the job know little or nothing about Fedora and it's goals and ideology. For instance, we repeatedly had Ambassadors who argued for and couldn't understand why Fedora didn't include non-free software such as proprietary kernel drivers. Those individuals, who are no doubt fine upstanding people in their own right, can't do a good job of representing Fedora because they don't understand Fedora. We've put in place a mentoring system for prospective Ambassadors that hopefully will eliminate much of this problem, and help better educate those who wish to get involved with this sub-project. Think about the political analogue - I could not effectively be an Ambassador for Mozambique, not because I am an idiot, but because I know practically nothing about Mozambique, I've never been there, never experienced the country, and certainly have no idea of how to represent the country of Mozambique to other countries.

This isn't an attack to a person or to a question, this is a meditation of what an Ambassadors is and should be. We are here to learn from each other. We also have to keep in mind that, like David suggested, we are the voice of Fedora Project: we are here to give answers, right answers, to people that don't know what Fedora, Linux and open source is. We, Ambassadors, have a great responsability, one of the hardest one: while developers has to assure that code must be stable for the release, we have to assure that community understand the project and join/enjoy our work. That's why we have to guarantee a basic level, that's why people like Joerg, Susmit and many others volunteered to mentor newbie and people during the first steps in the project. That's why you haven't to see this like an attack but as a occasion to improve yourself, like everyone here is trying to do everyday. So, if you have question, doubts on what Ambassadors project does or want to learn something more before going mainstream, I suggest to contact your local mentor. That's an advice that comes from my first days/months in the project (*), during that time I learned a lot of things talking (and learning) from someone who better that me knew what to do.

I believe I know and understand about Fedora and believe I can represent Fedora, however, some of the information I had might be wrong, or my approach might be is inappropriate, etc, should we have some sort of resource area, where ambassadors, new and old alike, can refer or study from ? .. mentoring for new ambassadors is great, but the old ones might need some resources to study .. my 2c > > Think about the political analogue - I could not effectively be an > Ambassador for Mozambique, not because I am an idiot, but because I > know practically nothing about Mozambique, I've never been there, > never experienced the country, and certainly have no idea of how to > represent the country of Mozambique to other countries. > > -- > Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list > Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list > -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru ??? ???? ????

Well, basically, we're talking about two different concepts : - Susmit's script fetches all data in FAS and generates a static map with it - Shomyu will enable anyone to click on the map saying ? here I am ? (note the different tenses: present for one and future for the other, this is intentional ;) Shomyu will have the following advantages: - no need to wait some time for the map to be refreshed: it is always up-to-date - no need to search somewhere your own coordinates and then convert them in the expected format with an obscure calculation: you just click The second looks particularly interesting to me: if one temporarily move to some place, IMHO one will be much more inclined in moving my position if he only has to click on the map than if he has to calculate once again, wait an hour, ? oh, I made a mistake, let's take this again from start ?, and then wait one more hour to see that this time he made it right. :) Also, Shomyu has the notion of ? groups ? anddisplays them as ? layers ?. So in one map, you can have all the Fedora contributors, but *the user* can decide he only wants to see the ambassadors and translators. He'll then uncheck the other layers (~groups) and only those 2 will be presented to him, even though the data is still here for the others (and another user might want to see only the packagers, etc...). Finally, when setting up a map, one can choose that it will only ever display data for one group. Only this one will then appear in the layers (~groups) selector and thus be presented to the user. But I can't stress it enough: I'm particularly happy that Susmit did something to kill that hideous wiki page, even if he didn't take my ? baby ?. I'm not trying to argue to death that he did a mistake and how blind are you all to not see how Shomyu is better (which it is not, since it can't really be used yet :) Feel free to ask any other question, but maybe we should move further discussion on Shomyu out of this list, as it doesn't really concern the Fedora ambassadors. I'm available to answer any question, both in private or on the Shomyu mailing list (or here, if you really think this should stay on this list :).

Hi Simon, please check the replies to Max's "F11 CDs/DVDs from FUDCon Berlin" thread. Pick your favorite ambassadors and ask him to send some media. I can send you 20 Live-CDs, 10 KDE and Gnome each.

Things that we have: * Buttons -- there are a bunch of these in the hands of the Greek Ambassadors, that we should distribute to different parts of EMEA, for people who are doing events. Things that we should make more of: * Stickers * Tshirts === Fedora EMEA e.V. can help pay some costs of these items, as can I directly from the Fedora budget. But we need Ambassadors to step up and take charge of getting things produced. This can be the same people who have done it in the past, or new people who want to volunteer for an important job. The goals are simple: (1) Get agreement on something to produce. (2) Produce it at a reasonable price. (3) Spread it around to key Ambassadors throughout the region who can then act as distribution points. === I think that Q3 (Starting September 1) will be a good time to invest some money into these sorts of things, which gives us a little over a month to sort it out. Just my $.02. --Max From felix at fetzig.org Wed Jul 15 12:41:57 2009 From: felix at fetzig.org (Felix Kaechele) Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:41:57 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] F11 CDs/DVDs from FUDCon Berlin In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4A5DCE95.5000501@fetzig.org> I just talked to Christoph Wickert and asked him if he would take his CDs to FrOSCon.

We're due to have our next one pretty soon (probably should be next Wednesday) but I will be in the USA all next week and unable to attend that meeting. Seems like it might be a good time to let a volunteer in the community step up and take charge. These meetings represent an opportunity to have our Ambassadors across the region stay in communication with each other, discuss budget issues and resource issues, and also coordinate their efforts, so that we can feel like a larger team and not a few pockets of people in different countries. Anyone want to step up and make next week's meeting happen? There have also been a few requests to hold EMEA meetings every-other-week -- one meeting per month focusing on events and logistics, and the other focusing on one specific question or project that is important to the region. It's obvious that I haven't had the time to make that happen, but with some community leadership from Ambassadors who have things they would like to discuss, it easily could. It's important to me to make sure that we continue to keep our core group of EMEA ambassadors strong, while also growing new leadership and contributions throughout this very large region. In Egypt, for example, we've got a growing team of Ambassadors who are doing fantastic work, and I hope we can include them in our EMEA meetings and discussions more than we have in the past (which has just been me sending them resources). I'd like to cut myself out as the middle man and continue to grow a team of volunteers in the region who are all helping each other out.

I have enough stickers, tattoos, and "I heart Fedora" shirts left to handle two medium/large events. After that, I will have nothing left but my smiling face.

I'm a big fan of FOSS and have been looking for some communities to get involved in. Since the past few months I've been becoming enraptured with Fedora and wanted to become a contributing member. I'm a Java engineer, having specialized in web application development for the past few years. I currently work for Booz Allen Hamilton in the Washington DC metro area. I've started my Wiki profile ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Theandruu) but there's not much other than the basics at the moment. As I said, I'm looking for ways to become more active, so I heartily welcome suggestions. Some of the things I hope to get out of this is to meet other people in the community, to learn more skills / become expert in them, to help expand the project's client base, and maybe even contribute some code. I asked Ben Williams to sponsor me and I plan on spamming this message to the marketing group as well, so I ask those in both groups to forgive the redundancy =) Best wishes, Andrew Cuga -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, there is no co-located Fedora event happening around the Summit, and as the wiki page notes, we do not expect to have any major funding for event attendance. I will be present throughout the length of the event, and my plan is to be around the booth as much as possible. (That should be easier to achieve this year since there's no Fedora event happening at the same time.) I'd be happy to have help at the booth from any Fedora Ambassadors who happen to be at the Summit. Some are signed up on the page already, as a matter of fact. I'd like us all to get together the evening of September 1, before the Summit event starts the next day, so I can provide some information about Red Hat's and my expectations at the table. Anyone available in the afternoon would be welcome (and appreciated!), to help set up and make sure any last-minute arrangements were in order. Most of my notes are on that page, so I'd especially appreciate it if the FAmNA folks could take a look and comment on logistics, or anything that occurs to them that might be useful to add on the page. -- Paul W.

It has been my intention to either bring or ship ahead of time one of the NA event boxes for this event. That will include a variety of promotional items including t-shirts, media, buttons, tattoos, case badges, stickers and whatever else might materialize prior to the event (fedora branded pens are in the works and I hope will be available by then). It also includes various supplies for booth setup and one HP mini-note and one XO for our use at the booth. Regarding the retractable banners it turned out the ones we had in mind will not physically fit inside our event boxes so we are rethinking how we want to proceed with them. At this point there is work being done (primarily by Ben WIlliams) to get a new two panel design asap and get two of these made. We lack any large banners/posters of any sort at the moment (at least for standard event box fodder). John From stickster at gmail.com Thu Jul 16 15:34:26 2009 From: stickster at gmail.com (Paul W.

It is only the attitude. Yes, I think there was a mistaken assumption made about the content of the video. But when one posts a link to something here giving us some context is a good thing. What is the video about? Why should we care? Telling us why you think it is important for us to watch and what you think Fedora should be doing in Sri Lanka that we aren't would be a good way to get a discussion started.

This mailing list is not the best place for that sort of discussion. Some ambassadors here occasionally ask how to respond to questions about so called 'competition'. When it's clearly marked as a conversation about something that's not entirely Fedora, it's quite understandable. The problem here is that a single link with no context, no information about the link, and no metadata about the conversation is not what we want on this list. For the record, a link about Fedora and/or a competitor that's meant to be informative like that, with information includde of course, probably belongs on the marketing list instead. I get a number of nice and sometimes not so nice links there. This mailing list is really about how we can advocate Fedora instead. Please structure conversations like that accordingly :). -Yaakov From jsimon at fedoraproject.org Fri Jul 17 13:56:31 2009 From: jsimon at fedoraproject.org (Joerg Simon) Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:56:31 +0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjKQTiXDBeE In-Reply-To: References: <875948.22472.qm@web94705.mail.in2.yahoo.com> <1247836123.6411.49.camel@localhost> Message-ID: <200907171556.35050.jsimon@fedoraproject.org> On Friday 17 July 2009 15:48:12 Danishka Navin wrote: > Frogs in a Well don't know whats happening in the out side world. ;-) this is only a matter of perspective - for me the others are the frogs and fedora is the world - When we say first we mean it! cu -- 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...

You won't be surprised to learn that you aren't the only person to have pondered this and come up with projects to work on it. :) For example, this mailing list ... http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/distributions ... is for, "Discussions and collaboration between distributions." It's ideally used for some of the kind of discussion you are thinking needs to exist. One thing that we *can* do as Ambassadors is to continue to explain and demonstrate for people why choice does not have to mean problematic fragmentation. I've been in discussions in the last year about a Linux "dairy council", an idea drawn from the Dairy Council in the US that spawned the "got milk?" advert campaign. Perhaps a better analogy is cheese -- there are many varieties and variants of cheese, all are made using the same essential concepts, yet there is a world of difference between fresh mozzerella and a fine, aged Stilton. Some people think the Linux Foundation should handle this. No one currently wants to fund a general education advert campaign. Being able to explain to people why those differences exist is our challenge. Sometimes I borrow the story from Zonker (OpenSUSE community manager), "I don't try to tell people that one distro is better or worse than the other. It's like underwear: I chose my brand of underwear because it's comfortable to me; you should do the same." - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I answer almost exactly as you do. I say something such as: "95% or more of the code is the same, although each distro chooses how close to 'absolute new' their code is. For example, in Fedora you might get a number of pieces of software that are newer than those in another distro, and for other pieces they may be older or different choices for default than other distros. A lot of the visual difference you see is just how the desktop is polished. The technical differences are mostly visible to systems administrators and mainly haved to do with package management and configuration files. All of these differences arise from community values. If a distro has a value of, 'Be the best desktop possible that Just Works,' then you are going to make technical, marketing, and community choices that support that value. If your values are, 'Draw together the best of current 100% free software for our community of participants to use to improve the state of the world,' then you are going to make different choices. I recommend you study the values of the Linux distributions, try out their live versions, and pick the one that resonates the most with your personal values. Then participate like mad." - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If I am not wrong, he provide us this information to let us know what are the project Microsoft is going to start in Shri Lanka and we should also think of, how we are going to play on the ground, on which Microsoft has already invested a good amount. (/me has read the previous and following messages, just grabbed this one 'cos it helps him) I think it's necessary to point two things: 1) We are Fedora, a community focused on people and not in competition. We aren't a company and we haven't interest in thinking at what microsoft or any other company is doing, simply because we are doing a completely different thing :) 2) Just a tip: for such things (discussion on marketing etc) we have Fedora Marketing Project. There are a lot of ambassadors involved and it's open to whoever want to join the discussion. I know, in this case, you were thinking at the Events side, BTW, we have a team that is working hardly keeping a global strategy and I think they could use better than here all the Marketing suggestion you want to bring to the project. 3) I think every community has its own strategy, I see Sri Lanka community has just done a great join, and, I want to suggest, if you accept this, to keep this way, working on events and make people know what Fedora is and how to join Fedora.

For a Fedora Ambassador shirt you would use the Fedora logo, not Red Hat. Red Hat is a sponsor of Fedora, and Fedora contributors are employed there, but it is not an official extension of Red Hat, so using a RH logo in this case would be incorrect usage. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We are having Our College Annual Tech Event in September 2009. I am organising a event "Think Linux" A Linux Workshop!! At present no much attention is given to Open Source In our college!! As you are Campus Ambassador Of Fedora Could you please provide some support for this event!! To make this event a Success We would be in need of supporters like you!! so that we could use fedora logo in posters, Banners and certificate for participation!! The event details i am mailing with this email as attachment!! hope you would consider my request positively!!" I've asked a day or two to reply back. I've also told him to post the event on our events wiki, or I'll do it. A main thing is that they have to confirm the event first. I replied him back thus: "Hi Deppak, I'm sure I'll be able to help you. You register your name on fedoraproject.org, and add your event there. I'll talk with my fellow Ambassadors and help you out. Fedora logo can be used, yes. But take care not to distort it, colors or shape. If you post your event on the events wiki at fedoraproject.org you can get help from people around the world. You can also sign up to become a Fedora Campus Ambassador." Can anyone else guide me, this is the first time that I've had such a request, and I want to fulfill it.

A great way to help him would be to actually go to his event and give a conference / workshop / whatever, or even help him organize it if you have the time and resources to.

I had conducted a Fedora workshop ("GNUtsav") at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Agartala [1], Tripura, India on July 18-19, 2009. I would like to thank the Fedora project for sponsoring the event. Special thanks to the student volunteers who worked hard in organizing the event. Mention must be made for the support of the faculty, Prof. Swapan Debbarma, Prof. Anupam Jamatia ("ajnr" on freenode), and Prof. Dwijen Rudrapal. My presentation sessions included: * i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora. * Badam Halwa of Embedded Systems * di-git-ally managing love letters * Fedora Electronic Lab (demo) * Packaging RPM -- Red hot, Paneer (butter) Masala The presentations are available from: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads.html It has only been two years since this Institution has started. It is 25 km from Agartala city. The Institute has 50% reservation for State students, and 50% for students coming through an All India Engineering Entrance Examination. People speak Hindi, English, Bengali, and Kokborok. Guwahati, Assam is the main connectivity for this part of the world, or, flying from Kolkatta, West Bengal is the other option. Subsidized rate flights are available from major domestic carriers in India. Helicopter service between North-Eastern States is also available, but, is expensive. Bus journey from Guwahati, Assam to Agartala, Tripura is very tedious, and might take atleast 24 hours. When passing through the dense forests, CPRF [3] escort is required due to insurgency problems in forest areas. Students have access to distros at the labs, as well as in the hostel. Power cuts are quite common here. Mobile cell coverage is nil or works at only few places. Internet connectivity is nil or very slow on campus. Hence, we have provided them with an offline Fedora 10 repository (around 24 GB) that they can use in their computers or in the LAN. Special thanks also goes to dgplug user group from Durgapur, West Bengal for the offline repos [2]. There are few browsing centers in the city that students can use, but have to travel the distance from the campus. Work is in progress to provide students with a Fedora 11 repository. Agartala is a very scenic, lush green, and very peaceful place. Hopefully when the construction work on campus is completed in the next six months, they will be better equipped with Internet access for communicating online, and for VoIP sessions.

Shakthi, this report sounds like a great adventure - i am a bit jealous that i could not join you ;) I like your presentations and besides i do not like the headline of "i-want-2- do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora" i think this presentation is really a good lecture for new contributors. Thanks Shakthi for sharing this great event and great report.

This year in particular we had several conferencist from other countries and this was a really great experience: # Richard Stallman, USA # Esteban Saavedra, Bolivia # Oscar Valenzuela, Chile # Daniel Yucra, Per? # Andres Ricardo Castelblanco, Colombia # Alexandre Oliva, Brasil # Quiliro Ord??ez, Ecuador ... ... this gave an interesting twist to the conference by showing how the international community has developed through the experiences of the international guests. Also the event was full of professionalism, many talks and workshops that the public (I hope) learn something from this. On the Fedora Venezuela community, attended to the 5CNSL Edwind "Richzendy" Contreras and myself (Mar?a Tatic "Leandro) both days, but we also have the unexpected presence of several colleagues who are really involved writing and at mail lists; Robert Marcano, psycho, Samuel, Yusmell, Jaime, Carlos Pedro Maniglia; NOTE: If anyone missed; excuse me, but those who attended saw the hard work that I had :S Likewise, we shared a moment with Esteban Saavedra, who is a really nice person and he gave us some good ideas and proposals for the team, the same proposals emerged from Andres Castelblanco for some projects of the FSF-LA with the Fedora team; so we shall soon have news. Finally, officially Sr, Robert Marcano and Ricardo Fernandez will be part of the Packaging team and Development for Fedora Project Latinamerica, working with projects and of course spreading Fedora, due to its high expertise in the subject I'm sure both will be a great help to Juan Rodriguez (Nushio). As a further note (and with much pride) I can say that the Fedora Venezuela Stand at this time was the best prepared and the one where people was more involved; helped a lot our 2 banners, the large number of stickers that I bring to Venezuela, CDs and DVDs and of course the tattoos, people were fascinated. Thanks so much to the people that help with participation of the Fedora Venezuela Team!!!

This means they'd have to ignore multiple email warnings that infrastructure was going to move their account to an inactive state in the month leading up to that event, and still fail to take action for an additional 30 days following this event.

(08:10:39 PM) VileGent: how is the person chosen (08:10:39 PM) inode0: I can elaborate on the second a bit (08:10:44 PM) inode0: about that (08:11:07 PM) dthomasdigital: I think a sponsorship is a great idea, keep those young minds thinking. (08:11:10 PM) inode0: I was thinking that we would have applications submitted by campus ambassadors due around 11/1 (08:11:14 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: sounds like a plan. (08:11:42 PM) VileGent: at this moment we have 2 NA campus ambassadors (08:11:51 PM) inode0: Some group, possibly the regional ambassadors or some other group they choose, could agree on some way to evaluate the applicants (08:12:02 PM) inode0: yes (08:12:27 PM) inode0: what have they done on campus, what have they done elsewhere within Fedora (08:12:55 PM) inode0: With Fall semester around the corner I'd like to see a push for new campus ambassadors (08:13:12 PM) inode0: This could be a small incentive for them to get stuff done quickly (08:13:39 PM) sseiersen: VileGent 3 (08:14:09 PM) inode0: We'll have more, but the number isn't critical to me really (08:14:19 PM) inode0: One who works his butt off is enough (08:14:42 PM) maxamillion: number?

(08:48:00 PM) inode0: Excellent - I for one can't wait to hear (08:48:12 PM) inode0: FUDcon is likely the 1st or 2nd week in December (08:48:23 PM) VileGent: ouch (08:48:24 PM) inode0: according to a recent stickster blog (08:49:06 PM) inode0: Austin, Portland, and Toronto were the frontrunners for a site (08:49:23 PM) inode0: so if you care or are in one of those cities get to work :) (08:49:26 PM) StabbyMc: All $pendy cities :-( (08:49:32 PM) ricky: Ouch (08:49:41 PM) ricky: Right during finals time for a lot of college students :-( (08:49:43 PM) inode0: and Boston isn't? (08:49:51 PM) StabbyMc: It is as well. (08:50:15 PM) VileGent: warm, cold and rainy, cold and snowy (08:50:22 PM) VileGent: seems like a no brainer to me (08:50:32 PM) inode0: good thinking VileGent (08:50:35 PM) StabbyMc: Toronto would be cool, but will require a passport to go to, which might kybosh our CA sponsorship of attendence. (08:51:03 PM) inode0 has changed the topic to: FAmNA Meeting - Topic: Event Box Banners Report (08:51:20 PM) inode0: VileGent has the floor (08:51:42 PM) VileGent: ok we found out that the banner will not fit the event boxes and will need to be shipped separate (08:52:43 PM) VileGent: we are looking at getting 2 banners done with 2 of the 4 foundations on each to go on each side of a table or put together for one big poster (08:53:33 PM) VileGent: graphics request sent to the design team, paul added a couple of comments and it has been picked up by a designer (08:53:44 PM) inode0: oh, good (08:53:50 PM) VileGent: hopefully we will see the graphics soon to get the banner ordered (08:54:10 PM) VileGent: each banner will be about $300 each (08:54:24 PM) inode0: mizmo - extra good (08:54:51 PM) VileGent: since i am home i do not have the links i would like to have (08:54:56 PM) dthomasdigital: Still trying to figure out why vinyl signs cost so much.

(08:55:27 PM) VileGent: dthomasdigital, i dont think the vinyal cost that much (08:55:39 PM) sseiersen: size* (08:55:48 PM) VileGent: 23.5"x 77.5" each (08:55:55 PM) inode0: *big* (08:56:01 PM) sseiersen: :) (08:56:10 PM) dthomasdigital: Oh that's huge (08:56:41 PM) VileGent: let me jump on my work machine (08:56:45 PM) inode0: ok, so we need a small miracle to get these in time for the Summit - but if VileGent wants funding for OLF he'll do his best :) (08:57:31 PM) inode0: seriously, these will be great - I do have a thought though (08:57:45 PM) inode0: since they don't fit in the event boxes they won't be at all events (08:57:58 PM) inode0: not all can accommodate the extra space anyway (08:58:12 PM) inode0: so what do we do *for* the event boxes (08:58:19 PM) inode0: they should all have signage (08:59:04 PM) Southern_Gentlem: http://www.advatumdisplays.com/servlet/the-207/retractable%2Cbanner-stand%2Ccontender/Detail (08:59:32 PM) inode0: any sign/banner folks have sources for just nice banners that could roll up and fit in the event boxes? (09:00:01 PM) VileGent: make the 4 foundations posters for the event boxes like the ones in boston 2008 (09:00:25 PM) inode0: that would be great! (09:01:02 PM) VileGent: i am sure the graphics already exist so just printing would be the cost (09:01:53 PM) inode0: thanks for working on this one VileGent, I'm sure the graphics will happen fast now (09:02:07 PM) maxamillion: I have to run (09:02:12 PM) inode0: for the big banners (09:02:23 PM) VileGent: i will get the graphics and get max to order them asap (09:02:46 PM) inode0 has changed the topic to: FAmNA Meeting - Topic: Fedora Pen Report (09:02:54 PM) inode0: StabbyMc has the floor (09:03:04 PM) StabbyMc: Real Simple.

In-Reply-To: <20090721131724.GN1753@localhost.localdomain> References: <20090716110805.GO8801@localhost.localdomain> <20090716153426.GN8801@localhost.localdomain> <20090721131724.GN1753@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <1248253982.3656.6.camel@localhost.localdomain> Hi all, Does somebody have any statistics how well Fedora brand is known? Or do we have some official statistics available by Fedora project? (Joerg, do you know?) I rise this question because I have faced the problem many times, that people does not know what Fedora is. If I explain that it is one of the Linux-distributions, then they may understand what it is all about. I just made a _very small_ survey on my area by stopping 10 people from the streets and showed them a Fedora logotype and asked just 3-4 questions: 1) In what profession do you have/work? 2) Do you know what this is (showing the Fedora logo)? and if answer was "NO", I asked 3a) Do you know what Linux is? if answer was "YES" (**, I asked 3b) Do you use Fedora now or have you used it before? 4) Do you use any other Linux now or have you used some before? This is what I got: 1) Unemployed, Salesman, Student, Student, Taxi-driver, n/a, Retired, Dentist, Salesman, n/a 2) No, No, Yes, Yes, No, No, No, No, No, No 3a) No, Yes, Yes, Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, No, No 3b) -, -, Yes, Yes, -, -, -, -, -, - 4) -, -, Yes, Yes, -, -, -, -, -, - (** All answers like: "is it an operating system?", "it is a computer program", "yes, its our server" etc. was accepted as "Yes". This gives me a feeling that Fedora as a brand is not known (as is) well and we ambassadors can only do something for the issue. I think that the Fedora-graphics team should think also an alternative logo which says something like "Linux Fedora" or "Linux Fedora OS" or "Linux Fedora Operating System" etc. This just to point out that it is a Linux and it is an operating system. This could help people to know that there is an alternative available for Windows etc. I think also that if we does not have any official statistics about the issue, we ambassadors could easily do some. If just everyone of us goes to the local streets and asks these questions from 10-20 ordinary people, we have easily a "gallup" including >5000 people all around the world! Statistics would definitely help the marketing-team as well. What do you think?

If anyone wants to find a vendor and get a quote that would be great. I expect 1000 would cover both of those shows easily.

That is an argument in favor of sticking with polos. But on the other hand not everyone likes wearing polos and prefers a shirt with buttons that is a bit more formal. I don't think anyone wants to stop doing polos, lots of people would just like a non-polo Fedora ambassador shirt too. Actually, I don't even care much if it is an ambassador shirt at all, I'd be just as happy with a dressier Fedora shirt.

I think it is twice as much as Paul thinks after he doubles what everyone else thinks! Taking this part of things for granted still leaves us with the rest of what Max does for us, which is probably twice what we think it is too.

Yesterday EMEA Ambassadors had our regular meeting [1] mainly on swag and event related issues. We were very happy to have new Ambassadors attending our meeting actively :) Many issues where discussed including a new approach on swag management and production. Still, we need an extra quick meeting on EMEA Event Box and some minor issues with additional data and logs that we lacked yesterday. Thus a meeting next Wendsday 29/07 on this specific topic was agreed. Proper announcement will follow on other email. The meeting minutes can be found here [2] along with the full log of the meeeting [3], thanks to Felix for the support on the very helpfull MeetBot. Thanks all for attending!

To be both truthful and vain, I attract harpoons whenever I wear the polo because, to put it tactfully, it's unflattering on me. But that's just me. In Mexico, Alejandro Acosta has a white work shirt with the Fedora logo (and writing on the sleeve I think), button down, that looks pretty professional. My proposal is that we should have a choice: Those who want to wear polos should do so. Those who want to wear something different should have an option. Putting on my polo now to go to OSCON . . . .

I have an Ambassador polo, which I have worn a few times, and since it was kind of expensive I do intend to wear it some more, but I agree the button down shirt would be nice. There are many company shirts I have seen that were of this type, a short or long sleeve collared button down shirt, with the company logo on the left upper or right upper front of the shirt. We could use the same template as the polos, as in, Fedora logo on left upper front, and Ambassador logo on left sleeve. I like the idea of having the option for either or both polo and button down shirts. My choice of colors would be white, black, or Fedora blue, with the logos embroidered. ---------- Matt M.

I have to say I'm not really sold on this vertical split idea. This makes the banners only useful at events where we have enough floor space for the pair, which I'm afraid would rule out a lot of our events. What do you think about putting the full cloverleaf on both of them so they would be useful individually at smaller events that would only accommodate a single banner of this type?

I have no problem with that, but I was under the impression that the design criteria of a split cloverleaf had been decided by some consensus among NA Ambassadors. Is that not the case? -- Paul W.

FAmNA approved and allocated budget to have three large vertical banners produced, one for each existing event box. Clint, as the person making them happen, produced a great design for those. When Clint stepped back and asked someone else to take over this it was discovered that they would not fit into the event boxes as planned. That combined with seeing the lovely EMEA 5 banner design we took the opportunity to think about doing something else. Ultimately it is the decision of the people making them happen. As a group we really only make a consensus that (a) we want retractable banners for events and (b) we have $X to spend on them. The details are in the hands of those getting the work done. Everything beyond that, and my comments here after seeing the split design, are just feedback, nothing more. Here is a link to Clint's original design for comparison. http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/art/fedora_four_fs_vertical_banner_330x800.png John From stickster at gmail.com Fri Jul 24 14:59:44 2009 From: stickster at gmail.com (Paul W.

Sorry to be late in replying -- this is a good idea. Things seem to be progressing with the vertical banner ticket, but we'd be smart to cover all our bases just in case.

Message-ID: <4A6E3845.2010503@redhat.com> Hey Everyone, I think I told most people that I wanted to tell privately so it's time to tell the list and out myself to the public. August 14th will be my last day at Red Hat and of temporary daily direct involvement in the Fedora project. In 1997 I got my first taste of Linux, Red Hat Linux 4.2, to be exact. It was in the basement lab of the university that I was doing research at during the second half of my freshman year in high school. It was at that point the most fun and challenging thing I had ever done, struggling to get the kernel to work with the crappy Matrox (I think) video card that was the only spare piece of anything in that lab. I aimlessly wandered down that path I had no idea that jumping down the rabbit hole would lead to the 12 most pleasantly wondrous and amazing years of my life. Over the last 12 years this love affair has grown stronger and I have had the unbelievable good fortune to travel the world, see amazing places, explore amazing ideas, meet and work with some of the planet's greatest, smartest and most passionate people and play my part to help turn Linux, Open Source, Red Hat, Fedora and the concepts of free open and democratic commons of content and technology from relatively unknowns into the great revolution of our age. I have spent the better part of the last 6 years working for Red Hat on Fedora and Fedora-related projects in directed efforts to improve both the state and awareness of those things I mentioned. Red Hat has been a warm home and family to me and I am as much glad as I am in awe of how ferociously dedicated we have been to our noble principles of freedom and truth, while having accomplished, ascertained and executed and what I have been able to imbibe, about so many diverse concepts, over these last few years. What niche and facet have we not touched? What direction or device have we not influenced? What proclivity have we not affected? For this, I am proud. Fedora has been my brother since the day it was conceived. The more energy and time I invested into Fedora, to help it grow and mature, the more it paid me back by proving to be the best platform for innovation, and letting me be involved in that cause. Starting a community is no small order and keeping it going all these years take passion on the part of those willing to undertake the task. We have learned what it means to be a community, to live, breathe, eat and be true to community. To provide, so that others can have, to build so that others can build upon and to be selfless so that we can embrace others and more importantly so that others can embrace us, virtual strangers, and feel welcome. It has been my distinct pleasure to work with every single precious member of the Fedora community, from all over the world to help build a very deep and intimate relationship with the concept of community. We have accomplished such great feats, arising from a turbulent and tumultuous genesis and virtually transformed and flipped the world and the hearts and minds of people in a few short years. We have become the paramount archetype of community. How many have communities emulated and continue to emulate our success? How many have our ideas spawned? How many have been lucky to be as true and real as we have? For this, I am grateful. The best part has been the people. I can't count on 100 sets of hands the number and names of all the wonderful people that have affected me. When I was on the Fedora University Tour, my speech was called "Crash: How a Billion Little Collisions Defines Everything," and it was about how working in a community and in real life, we are the sum total of the people we interact with. I don't think one can find a better metaphor and if I stick to my axiom then I can truly consider myself rich. Every person I met and spent time with in the office, at a meeting, show, conference or elsewhere, and online has helped shape my character, both personal and professional, for the better. As a lover of people I am both thankful for the interactions we have had and excited for what the future holds. I owe thanks to many, like I said, even 100 hands can't count, but I will try and pay homage to some of my closest, dearest and most influential friends over the last few years. First and foremost, Tom "Spot" Callaway, for urging me to get involved way back when things started and helping me score a gig at Red Hat. Greg DeKoenigsberg, for being a friend, a mentor and a visionary; if I can say one thing about Greg it's that he "gets it" when no one else does, he can put it in words, and above all else, he's real. Max Spevack, because I can write a whole book of reasons to thank Max, who has been a dear friend, a true buddy, a team player and a team leader. Karsten Wade, for being the most chillin guy you will ever find, and for being my west coast trade show and conference booth buddy. Jim Gleason, for being first a friend for 9+ years of NYLUG and then a mentor and being someone who cares. Michael Tiemann, for being a genius, for always giving me something to think about and someone to look up to. John Flanagan, for being my first manager at Red Hat and being an all around great guy and Jeff Needle, for being the guy who would let me wander into his cubicle and talk about nothing for hours on end. Mo Duffy, for being the best artist and designer in the world! The original Red Hat QA team, Ed Rousseau, Bill Peck, Marty, John, John and Zack for letting me encroach on their cube area and steal one when I was an intern. Jesse Keating, for being awesome, for being the workhorse upon much of which the foundations of Fedora are built, and for being a cool guy who I spoke to for almost 2 years online and helped me with everything before I ever got a chance to meet him and buy him a drink. Luke Macken, for all those games of Star Wars pinball on the 3rd floor and for being the most uber hacker the world has ever seen. Arlinton Bourne, for being a true friend and following my advice to join Red Hat, where the hood at? Paul Frields, for being a great leader and a real sweetheart while still secretly being 007. Yaakov Nemoy, for being my intern and not complaining and for being a friend who will always listen to my crazy ideas. Arjun Roy and Mohammed Morsi, for being great interns as well and for accepting offers to come to Red Hat as well. Mo, real Red Hatters wear Orange. Bill Nottingham, because I like him. Moshe Bar, for being my international hangout buddy and being an all around great human being. The Red Hat Anaconda team, the Desktop team, Fedora kernel team (a.k.a. Dave Jones), the Fedora Ambassadors, the Fedora Infrastructure team including Mike, Dennis and Toshio, anyone who was ever been on the Fedora board including Rex Dieter, anyone who ever volunteered to help at an event or show, everyone in the Westford office, everyone in the NYC office. The Fedora Marketing team including Steven Moix, David Nalley, Bob Jensen, Jon Stanley, Rahul Sundaram, John Rose and anyone else I'm forgetting...we done good, real good. To the next generation of leaders in Fedora, Mel Chua, Ricky Zhou, Ian Weller and crew. Last and certainly not least, to Matthew Szulik who believed in us and led us finely as a teacher and friend and Jim Whitehurst, who keeps the flame alive, the train running and still makes time to be a true leader. Thanks everyone for an amazing time and ride. As I move on to other ventures, I wish everyone blessing and success and hope to keep in touch. I can be reached via email jack at jackfoundation.com, Freenode IRC as themayor, and various and sundry social networks.

Depends on the mentor. For me, it *is* a week. I process all the applications once in a week. Also, for being approved, you may have to wait a couple of month or more, till we think you are upto the mark. However, I have sent you the mails for this time. But don't expect me to fast forward something for you every time you send a mail to ambassadors-list. We follow a procedure for mentoring and approval, and there may be some delay.

It was a great oportunity to introduce Fedora and me as Fedora Ambassador to the people at Fraternidad de sofware Libre the Panam? (Free software Fraternity of Panama), since they have events all year, and promote free software, we talk and offer them to help and to be invited to participate on new events. The conference was good Richard Stallman was interesting and show his points on the Free Software and Linux. We talk to some students and give away sticker and invite them to participate on Fedora Project and the great opportunity it is to learn and share knowledge with others. There were not participation of any other distributions or groups, but notice that people there were interested on Ubunto and Debian (most of it because those to distributions are some how introduce to them on the University) Photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/34724618 at N05/sets/72157621869370304/ El software libre y el sistema operativo Linux Preparaci?n: Debido a la invitaci?n a este evento fue con un dia de anticipacion no estaba preparado para participar como embajador Fedora, sin embargo con algunas ideas [User:tatica Tatica] logramos prepararnos un poco para este evento, por lo que imprimimos unas etiquetas de Fedora de los artes que estan en la wiki y preparamos un boton Fedora que utilizamos para identificarnos como Fedora en el evento.
