Have you considered organizing a release event? It's easy to make one. 1) Choose a place (your garage, a public library or something that can contain people, even open) 2) Choose a format (party, conferences or both) 3) Add your event in fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_release_events (and in /wiki/FedoraEvents too) 4) Call your friends, collegues or whoever might be interested in the event 5) Invite the local Fedora Contributors (packagers, docs guy, etc...) to join the event Few steps that don't require much time and will give all the emotions of a Fedora style event.

For Ambassadors, we have some texts, flyers, and other materials (e.g. educational presentations) what needs to be translated. Currently we have an wiki, where most of these files are uploaded, but for us - these materials mostly available in one language: English. I would like to change this, and I need help to make it to reality - also I know this possible project needs some cooperation between several teams....Maybe this is not the correct channel to begin this. I have thought through several times, and I say it can be a huge step ahead for ambassadors to win new contributors, when I could give the interested people some printed advertising in their language. Therefore I have thought on some empty prepared document templates at in the ambassadors wiki for each actual release, and an Transifex project category for these texts - available for all translating teams. If it is possible, then I would to like have these in such a format, that could be merged, edited to have at the end an perfect multipliable DTP stuff easily. Furthermore, I just hope, when this come truth - the ambassadors could have these printings for shows sometime.... and we could win a lot of contributors to every channel.

Regards Francesco Ugolini From robert at fedoraproject.org Sun Nov 1 23:39:59 2009 From: robert at fedoraproject.org (Robert Scheck) Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 00:39:59 +0100 Subject: [Ambassadors] Review about Free Software Conference 2009 in Budapest, Hungary Message-ID: <20091101233959.GA21687@hurricane.linuxnetz.de> Good evening, now that I'm safely back at home, I'll write a bit about the Free Software Conference 2009 (Hungarian: Szabad Szoftver Konferencia 2009) in Budapest, Hungary. The event itself was organized by the FSF Hungary and took place in the building for scientific and economy of the university in Budapest. Unfortunately, one week before the event, some health issues appeared at Christoph Wickert, who initially wanted to attend the event. In the end, Joerg Simon asked me to attend and that's how I made it in. On Friday evening, I flew from Stuttgart via Frankfurt am Main to Budapest - it was my first trip to Hungary at all and I noticed, that they are still lacking English knowledge at signs/labels and people. Usually you can guess the meaning of words in a foreign language - but not at Hungarian, they're completely different. Nevertheless I managed it with a 30 minutes taxi trip to get to my hotel (the airport is ~ 15 km away from the city center). At early Saturday morning, I met Zolt?n Hopp?r in the hotel lobby. He's our first and currently only Hungarian Fedora Ambassador the first time as far as I know. Together we moved on to the university and prepared our booth. At 9:00 am the event officially started, at 10:00 am our workshop "Building RPMs made easy" started (thanks again to Christoph for providing me his German presentation about the same topic as template for my English one), but nobody was there! Fortunately after a few more minutes people showed up and told us that the previous presentation was a bit too long. Zolt?n was so friendly to translate my whole workshop on-the-fly into Hungarian - that was a lot of work, because 50 minutes are less time for something huge like RPM packaging and I had to hurry up a bit to get all slides and a packaging example done. The rest of the day we mainly promoted Fedora, handed out media and swag, answered questions around the OLPC XO and tried to encourage new Hungarian Fedora Contributors and Ambassadors - I think we hopefully got a handful people in total, some of them directly signed up in FAS at our booth. I've to say "thank you" to Zolt?n here as well, because most of the visitors did not speak and understand English - so Zolt?n was really a lot of the time only translating both ways. Nevertheless, it was definately a great event! And it was a real community event, even that some commercial sponsors have been around. According to the FSF Hungary, it was a worse event measured by the visitors, they've counted ~ 350 visitors for the whole day. Did I say, that I like and appreciate how Zolt?n is acting, even he's a relatively new contributor and the past event was one of his first (or the first?) Fedora event? :) Of course we've made pictures, but I'm still looking for a good place to host them, I personally dislike Flickr and similar portals. Maybe we can setup a pictures.fedoraproject.org with a gallery and everybody in FAS can upload pictures there? Of course we would need the events as a group or category. Ideas? Suggestions? In the evening, Zolt?n and I went for lunch to the Soul Caf? & Restaurant and I ordered some typical Hungarian food to get impressions there as well. Of course we've twaddled about possible future events and some ideas - how else could it be? :) Joerg and Christoph: Next time, Zolt?n would like to see us all three at an event - maybe we get it managed for FOSDEM? On Sunday, I flew back from Budapest via Munich to Stuttgart (the last part of the trip with a tiny prop airliner) - and unfortunately Lufthansa didn't manage it to bring my baggage to Stuttgart. I started baggage tracking, but right now and even hours after, they've absolutely no clue as the digital tracking for my baggage is somehow just empty. If they are incompetent, we have lost (beside of my clothes, shoes, washbag etc.) some Fedora plastic banners, my Fedora Ambassador polos and the presents from Zolt?n - and that would be a real loss. Let's hope and cross fingers... Finally, I've to say "thank you" to Zolt?n, Joerg and Christoph for their work, efforts and support around the event! Not to forget a "thank you" to Fedora EMEA e.V. for the financial support to get me there. Greetings, Robert -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You are welcome, Robert. Thanks a lot for standing in for me. I would have loved to go, but the devil of toothache upset my plans. Nevertheless I tried my very best in supporting you and Zoltan by sending you my slides, Fedora live media and an XO. Fortunately everything arrived in time. I'm looking forward to meet Zoltan at FOSDEM. We talked a lot while making plans and he's a very ambitious ambassador. Surely Fedora in Hungary will grow fast with people like him sawing in the seed of the community. I'd like to thank you, Zoltan, J?rg and everybody for making this event possible.

It's a Linux expo... and they want to group all the linuxen into one big group? 02:05:14 * VileGent wants to go, and will if finances allows 02:05:34 * PhrkOnLsh will go if rents approve. I'll chill in the Fedora booth :) 02:05:38 PhrkOnLsh, sounds like what most east coast cons 02:05:41 Not that confusing, PhrkOnLsh -- in the past, we were on one end of the floor, OpenSUSE on another, Ubuntu on even another. 02:05:58 and KDE way out where 02:06:04 etc etc 02:06:17 The megabooth idea, floated by Joe Brockmeier of OpenSUSE, would have all the distros and DEs together 02:06:26 DE = Desktop Environment 02:06:32 ahh 02:06:46 well, i thought it meant they'd be represented as one :) 02:06:49 And all the other exhibitors wherever they may fall on the floor map. 02:06:51 and I omgwtfbbq'd 02:06:57 Heh. 02:07:01 oh, no :) 02:07:06 but we do all get along :) 02:07:24 I'll bring toiler paper ;) we can TP the *buntus ;) 02:07:29 02:07:52 Any other events need mentioning? 02:07:52 But I wanted to just bring everyone up to speed on this. 02:08:09 * jds2001 needs to do blog post on CPOSC 02:08:11 * jds2001 fails 02:08:32 lcafiero: We probably need to add this as a recurring event once a month, maybe more when it looms closer. 02:08:47 Got it, StabbyMc (makes a note) 02:09:05 jds2001: anything good for CPOSC? 02:09:08 hopefully its on the event list 02:09:49 StabbyMc: well attended, excellent venue this year, got a lot of compliments on the booth 02:09:58 the vertical banners were a big hit :) 02:10:04 the ubuntu folks loved em 02:10:07 +1 big hit at UTOSC too. 02:10:12 jds2001: what kind of traffic did you get? 02:10:13 (sorry) 02:10:48 nm, I'll wait for the report ;-) 02:10:50 StabbyMc: reasonable 02:10:52 Other events? 02:10:52 sorry 02:11:26 Ok, then lets shift gears. 02:11:26 ABLEconf was weekend before last. I gve out a ton of media. 02:11:32 oops. 02:11:33 But I already blagged about it. 02:11:36 move along :) 02:11:41 :-) 02:11:47 #topic NA Budget 02:12:00 So I had an interesting thing come up this week RE Budget. 02:12:14 I was hoping some of the more experienced ambassadors could advise. 02:12:29 I have a friend who switched his company over to all Fedora thinclients. 02:12:43 He'd like to donate the savings from the conversion to us. 02:13:04 But since our budget and whatnot is handled by RH, and he doesn't want to write a check to RH ... 02:13:15 So inode0 suggested that he buy us stuff. 02:13:27 +1 02:13:40 Someone else suggested that they use that money to pay an employee for some hours to donate to an OSS project. 02:14:03 +1 as well 02:14:04 Could you tell us how much we're talking about here? 02:14:07 alright folks I'm out, sorry for splitting so early. 02:14:11 I think the first option, where he buys us stuff is more likely, though he's only going to want to do one transaction. 02:14:19 lcafiero: we haven't gotten that far. 02:14:22 Just curious, but if you can't that's okay. 02:14:22 +1 for the oss project 02:14:25 Ah, got it. 02:14:39 I'm still trying to figure out the mechanics of how one could donate to Fedora. 02:14:59 There are no mechanics for giving cash to Fedora in NA 02:15:01 I don't know if you can, StabbyMc 02:15:06 (what inode0 said) 02:15:10 StabbyMc, i say buy some swag 02:15:17 Well, not by writing a check, no. 02:15:20 You can give cash the non-profit in EMEA 02:15:32 Ok. 02:15:37 but that will be locked away in EMEA 02:15:54 not really, they can spend it how they see fit 02:15:57 * nb wonders why not to make a nonprofit in NA 02:16:06 lots of reasons. 02:16:08 don't go there nb :) 02:16:16 I have a feeling that he'd be OK with buying swag, but I think he's going to want to keep it to one transaction, so once i know how much we're talking about, I can advise more. 02:16:32 that's likely the best 02:16:38 actually there is ongoing work to that end, but let's discuss it later 02:16:45 and we'd like to give his company credit somehow, too. 02:16:48 But I also thought this was a topic that would be good to just throw out there so some newer ambassadors could benefit from the discussion as welll. 02:16:52 Also, putting an employee on an OSS project would be good, too. 02:17:15 jds2001: I don't think you want to do that, they're ... um ... Adult Themed. 02:17:27 ok, then maybe not :) 02:17:56 Ok, so I'll follow up on that, and see what I can nail down. 02:18:03 This has some promotional possibilities for all involved -- media-wise. 02:18:04 maybe they can work a deal with gnaughty? 02:18:13 but do let me know who they are so I can utilize their products :D 02:18:20 lol 02:18:29 Anyone else have any Budget items? 02:18:43 don't you? 02:18:51 I don't know, do I? 02:19:02 swag research? 02:19:21 inode0: I need more to jog my slow mind. 02:19:28 well i was looking into usb keys and they are still way too expensive $9.20 each in 500 quanities 02:19:42 shirts, clings, etc 02:19:57 inode0: ah, I have that in the "Task List Review" section! 02:20:04 1gb or 2gb size same price 02:20:19 * inode0 stops trying to run the meeting, slaps his own fingers 02:20:25 lol 02:20:36 I've also noticed some artificial limits on downward pricing of USB sticks 02:20:37 No, let me do that for you, inode0 02:21:03 swag wise what do we have the most of 02:21:30 #topic Swag and Task List Review 02:21:35 sticker sheets and tattoos 02:21:36 or what do we need i guess is the best question 02:21:37 * jds2001 has stuff left over from CPOSC, but not shirts. 02:22:06 BTW, how much do we pay per piece for the splatter shirts? 02:22:20 * StabbyMc is curious. 02:22:23 about $6 02:22:34 * jds2001 has tattoos (which i didnt even realize were in the bag til tmz pointed it out), pens, stickers, etc. 02:23:18 the old white shirts were about $3.75 02:23:25 So the regional distribution folks, we running low on anything in particular? 02:23:34 most everything 02:23:44 Usually everything. 02:24:01 * jds2001 will take inventory and get back with what I've got that's sitting in my apartment and doing nothing productive. 02:24:04 So is there anything so awesome that we want to do a replenishment order instead of ordering new items? 02:24:17 I left all the stuff for the West Coast in the event box, so that's all I have, and I think herlo still has it. 02:24:23 what new items are under consideration? 02:24:41 If I remember correctly, we're still good with tattoos, pens and case badges 02:24:50 PhrkOnLsh has been working on stressballs, but is just starting the research to getting quotes. 02:24:59 * lcafiero has been very stingy with case badges. 02:25:02 I 02:25:10 I've been working on Window Clings 02:25:13 * inode0 applauds lcafiero 02:25:23 I think those are the only new items in the pipeline. 02:25:25 window clings +1 02:25:42 Ok, I wanted to talk a little about those. 02:25:43 we have probably 1K pens floating about 02:26:05 So I got some samples and the window clings I got are only cling-y on one side. 02:26:24 Plus they only cling to smooth surfaces, so like my IBM laptop, no love. 02:26:29 Windows they work like champs. 02:26:53 what is the cost on them? 02:26:58 and how big? 02:26:58 But for about the same money as clings we can get nice vynl stickers like what they have in EMEA 02:27:41 which vinyl sticker are you talking about 02:27:53 nice stickers aren't all that expensive, just need someone to line them up and we'd buy some 02:27:56 .277 cents per piece if we order 2500. 02:28:07 so like $700 02:28:17 For clings 02:28:44 half that amount I'd sign off on without thinking about it 02:29:00 1250 of those seems like quite a lot to me 02:29:20 price/piece probably goes up though 02:29:25 not everyone would want to decorate their cars and houses with them 02:29:35 1000 is a lot 02:29:45 get my point :) 02:29:49 inode0: 530 for 750 of them. 02:30:17 but they dont eat, and you dont have to change their diaper 02:30:18 I'd have to think on that 02:30:23 But I've been thinking that vynl stickers would appeal to a larger audience. 02:30:34 yeah, they would 02:30:42 StabbyMc: they would, but don't think either/or 02:30:45 depends on the sticker you are refering to 02:30:46 so is pricing similar on those? 02:31:13 jds2001: I looked only briefly at it, but I seem to remember that it was similar. 02:31:42 StabbyMc, are you referring to the 3" voice sticker 02:31:43 VileGent: EMEA has a sticker that's vynl of the Finity. 02:31:55 we can get sticker sheets like BF sells with a 3" bubble and 6 case badge style stickers for under 50 cents a sheet iirc 02:32:13 Theirs is diecut, which makes it more pricey. I'd want to do a square and if someone wanted just the finity they could cut it themselves. 02:32:18 is a url available to see the sticker? 02:32:38 * inode0 would want them pre-cut 02:32:46 I haven't done a lot of research on the sticker, so I don't have mockups or pricing and whatnot. 02:33:03 I'm just looking at the cling and comparing that with the desires of VileGent and feeling that it falls far short. 02:33:17 http://redhat.brandfuelstores.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=139 02:33:26 inode0: pre-cut as in not a sheet? 02:33:32 on a roll or something? 02:33:36 crappy image but those are nice stickers and we can do something similar for a reasonable cost 02:33:56 jds2001: no, a sheet but the stickers peel off, you don't need to cut anything 02:34:07 jds2001: more that when you peel them off the back, they're a shape, rather than square. 02:34:12 oh, ic 02:34:14 damn it - why don't redhat pages load in Chromium? 02:34:26 that's a brandfuel page, not a RHT one :) 02:34:28 http://redhat.brandfuelstores.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=37_52 02:34:41 inode0: we can look at the numbers, but I have a feeling that die cut is going to be more expensive. 02:34:49 seems to be the one most people perfer 02:35:13 we had a vendor lined up for those at one point 02:35:17 VileGent: yes something like that, but not $2 per piece ;-)_ 02:35:53 the bottom line is that everyone likes nice stickers 02:36:10 so when someone lines them up we'll do everything we can to fund them 02:36:10 But my larger question is ditch the clings and start looking at stickers? Keep the clings and not stickers? Or keep clings and also look at stickers? 02:37:01 * inode0 votes for both but would like a smaller amount of clings for less money which he might not get 02:37:14 is there any of our current supplies that we need to replenish? 02:37:38 nb: yes but that is always the case 02:37:39 inode0: the pricing looks really good at 2500+, less than 1000 I think it'll be difficult to get a good number vs. what we're paying for them. 02:37:52 if you buy 300 shirts they will go right out the door 02:38:06 yeah 02:38:31 we are almost always out of shirts because we can't pace ourselves :) 02:38:58 we should make ppl do something for them 02:39:07 sign up in FAS == shirt 02:39:16 they'd go a lot slower at that rate. 02:39:28 jds2001, that works at cons we have network access 02:39:51 Ohio Linuxfest is not the case as you know 02:39:57 yeah :( 02:40:15 * jds2001 keeps hoping beyond hope that they'll fix that 02:40:31 So my other SWAG item is button-ups. I'm waiting on a proof from the vendor. 02:40:35 but internet there is prohibitively expensive aiui 02:40:41 I'm always for expanding our inventory of new things 02:40:48 They'll be about $30 + shipping. 02:40:54 Replacing old things is easier but a bit boring 02:41:04 not all that bad.... 02:41:28 Our first run is white shirts I think. That's the demo shirt I've ordered. 02:41:37 inode0, case badges and stickers are always very popular 02:41:43 With the virtical logo applied to the left chest. 02:42:31 Anyone who wants more details can hit me up in fedora-ambassadors post-meeting. 02:42:43 they look nice on the web 02:42:52 is NA making a polo order any time soon? 02:43:07 and they won't be ambassador specific, for anyone in Fedora 02:43:37 nb: someone on the list needs to poke pcalarco 02:43:42 ok 02:44:24 So I feel like I butted in on a convo about replenishment orders. 02:44:46 Are we spending money on replenishment? 02:44:51 someone can suggest a specific thing for swag if they would like to 02:44:59 I don't know that I'll have my stuff ready to be paid by end of quarter. 02:45:15 I like my Novell penguin 02:45:21 but they're probably pretty expensive 02:45:36 I'm not sure we have any money to spend, will run whatever we want up the flagpole 02:46:17 this Q ends in 2 weeks more or less 02:46:22 ! 02:46:35 If I had to vote, I'd say Splatter Tees and case badges. 02:46:44 spevack: can you comment? Do we have something that needs acting on before the end of the quarter? 02:46:55 F12 at the end of the quarter, nice 02:47:07 StabbyMc: you just said $3,000 - I don't see that happening in the short term 02:47:20 I was going to ask about F12 media -- has that been brought up? 02:47:31 youre a mindreader lcafiero :) 02:47:35 we are buying it :) 02:47:39 :) 02:47:44 I hope a little less of it 02:47:47 It's going to hit Q4's budget though, right? 02:47:47 but the money has been budgeted and set aside. 02:47:53 Less would be OK, I think. 02:47:53 from whom, how much does it cost, is it budgeted? 02:48:06 yes, it is taken care of 02:48:10 Whew. 02:48:22 thanks, inode0 02:48:32 I think it costs around $4,000 02:49:05 I need to check on the DIY sleeve, not sure how far long that is. 02:49:15 DIY sleeve? 02:49:18 that is a good idea 02:49:36 it was a discussion on the artwork mail list - a one pager to fold as a CD sleeve 02:49:50 I'll report back next time 02:50:52 Ok, if no objections I'll put us to open floor? 02:51:04 * inode0 needs to step aside for 5 minutes, will be back to talk about FreeMedia asap 02:51:24 #topic Open Floor 02:51:34 Any topics for open floor? 02:51:48 (besides inode0 who we're waiting for) 02:54:31 Yes. 02:54:34 Wait a minute 02:54:45 I had something earlier. 02:54:54 I'll yield until I can think of what it is. 02:55:01 * lcafiero reminds everyone that age is cruel 02:55:28 * inode0 is back 02:56:12 shall I go on FreeMedia? 02:56:16 yep 02:56:54 I'm frustrated as are others with one aspect of the way things are working currently and would like to investigate making a change 02:57:14 the problem: the request form is only open for 2 or 3 days a month 02:57:37 the reason: that is long enough to overwhelm some regions with so many requests they can't fill them 02:58:01 the problem for NA: we only get 20 requests per month this way and we could fill many more 02:58:26 my goal: have the NA request form open all the time 02:58:34 i have some to add when you get done inode0 02:58:41 have you talked to susmit about it? 02:58:48 maybe he could do that. 02:59:15 I just opened an infra ticket requesting some solution to this problem today 02:59:20 jds2001, it is not really possible the way it is currently set up to block some regions and allow others 02:59:28 my idea is to make fedorahosted.org/freemedia-na 02:59:34 * inode0 yields to nb 02:59:36 and have fedoraproject.org/freemedia/na-form.html or something 03:00:00 it would use the same "freemedia" group in FAS 03:00:15 yeah, that was a hack to do 03:00:24 * jds2001 did the web side of that 03:00:30 i'd rather not perpetuate it 03:00:51 and it's not perfect, either 03:00:53 or link people to new ticket in trac and tell them to make their request tehre? 03:01:13 can a non-authenticated person make a new ticket in trac? 03:01:17 mainly I just don't want one region of the world to block the rest of the world in their efforts to spread Fedora through this program 03:01:22 jds2001, they do now with the freemedia form 03:01:24 if so, that'd be a solution 03:01:28 it runs as an unauthenticated user 03:01:42 oh, i didnt know if it did or ntop 03:01:49 so i assume they could use the normal interface (as long as unauthenticated has TICKET_CREATE) 03:01:55 with NA, we dont have to worry so much about the language thing 03:01:57 i looked at the code a little today 03:03:08 do we have mexico and canada people that can take those tickets? 03:03:13 or people from USA that will ship there? 03:03:23 canadians handle canada nowq 03:03:25 Isn't mexico part of latam 03:03:26 * jds2001 just looked and anonymous doesnt have TICKET_CREATE 03:03:59 and yes, mexico is not part of NA in this respect 03:04:00 jds2001, they remove it when the form closes 03:04:09 oh 03:04:59 * lcafiero thinks it should be, geographically speaking, but probably functions better in latam. 03:05:35 my argument holds for them too and everyone else who wants to keep their form open 03:06:24 for several months I didn't participate because there were no unfilled NA requests 03:07:28 probably we should raise the idea on the FreeMedia list for everyone's consideration 03:07:52 I just wanted to let FAmNA know I kicked off the disccussion and get feedback from you first 03:09:42 Other open floor? 03:09:53 Yes, the Linux Dairy Council (that was it) 03:10:02 lcafiero: you pull that item out of the netheregions of you mind? 03:10:13 Yeah, I'm lactose intolerant :-) 03:10:25 So noted. 03:11:04 Ok it's getting to be about that time, any other items? 03:11:08 But anyway, earlier this year (I think) Paul Frields and Joe Brockmeier and others talked about forming a sort of distro consortium around promoting desktop Linux 03:11:32 Anyway, herlo and I were at the first irc meeting a few days ago and it looks like it's shaping up to be an interesting group. 03:11:44 url? 03:12:01 So I wanted to mention that it's getting started after being dormant for a better part of the year. 03:12:27 IRC = #linuxdairy in freenode and url = http://groups.google.com/group/linux-dairy-council 03:12:35 It's a mailing list at the moment. 03:12:37 ty 03:12:50 Sort of a committee of correspondence. 03:13:04 That's all -- I'll be posting updates, as warranted, on the mailing list. 03:13:11 Cool. 03:13:12 * inode0 cringes at the connection with the dairy council every time he sees it 03:13:39 * StabbyMc gets ready to call the meeting to a close unless someone stops me. 03:14:01 Yeah, we've had this discussion, inode0 -- it's the idea of a consortium moreso than anything, and the name is not etched in stone 03:14:22 5 03:14:32 4 03:14:38 3 03:14:47 2 03:14:53 1 03:14:58 #endmeeting From chitlesh.goorah at gmail.com Thu Nov 5 06:12:15 2009 From: chitlesh.goorah at gmail.com (Chitlesh GOORAH) Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 07:12:15 +0100 Subject: [Ambassadors] Upcoming events in India Message-ID: <50baabb30911042212k2b2724esdb0b9893bdaf0e79@mail.gmail.com> Hello there, I came across this blog post today http://pramode.net/2009/11/04/a-lot-of-pythonfoss-events-in-november And ultimately landed on FOSSEE.in which will be held in the upcoming days. http://fossee.in/ These opensource events will properly talk briefly about Fedora Electronic Lab and other scientific software.

Now the CfP is out and i will take care for our "Call for Presentations" which means to have a booth, dev-room etc. If you are interested to give a talk, feel free to follow the "Call for Lectures" http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2010/vortraege/call_form.html I will try to get a separate Dev/Project Room - so we can give our own Talking Track independent from the official "Call for Lectures". Update on that soon! More Details on the Event Page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chemnitzer_Linuxtage_2010 - expect more updates soon. The German CfP from the CLT Team: Neues Jahr ? neues Outfit ========================= Mit neuem Outfit stellt sich die Webseite der 12. Chemnitzer Linux-Tage vor. 2010 wird es also wieder eine Menge interessanter Vortr?ge, Workshops und Projekte im H?rsaalgeb?ude an der Reichenhainer Stra?e geben. Die Themenschwerpunkte lauten dieses Mal: * Dienste und D?monen * Neue Desktops * Embedded * Privatsph?re trotz Netz Ab sofort ist es m?glich, sich mit einem Vortrag, Stand oder Workshop anzumelden, um im M?rz 2010 das Programm mitzugestalten. Nat?rlich werden wie immer auch Beitr?ge f?r das Einsteigerforum gesucht. * Call for Lectures [0] * Call for Presentations [1] Neu in diesem Jahr ist die M?glichkeit, ein eingereichtes Paper im CLT-Tagungsband ver?ffentlichen zu lassen. Immer auf dem Laufenden ======================= Damit Fans und Interessierte nicht nur am Veranstaltungswochenende die Chemnitzer Linux-Tage live erleben, kann sich ab sofort jeder ?ber den aktuellen Stand der Vorbereitungen, Nachbereitungen und sonstigen Aktivit?ten per Identi.ca[2], Twitter[3] oder Facebook[4] informieren.

Nominations You may self-nominate. If you wish to nominate someone else, please consult with that person ahead of time. Wiki nomination pages [1] carry additional details about the nominee which the nominee is expected to write. ?Simply update the respective wiki page with your nomination information. Please thoughtfully consider how you can best contribute to Fedora by serving on one of these important committees or by encouraging someone you know who you think can make a difference to serve.

Message-ID: <4AFBAAF6.5090508@leemhuis.info> Hi! As you may have heard already, several seats of the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAMSCO are up for election soon(?). Right now we are in the nomination period, which will be followed by a "Candidate Questionnaire." That means we'll give candidates a list of questions to answer by private mail within one week after the nomination period closed; the results will be publish soon after that to make sure they are available to the public before the Town Hall meetings on IRC happen. Candidates may choose to answer (or not) those questions as they see fit. Voters can use the answers to get an impression of what the candidate think or plan to do while serving for the committees they are nominated for. That should help to get a interesting discussion running during the IRC Town Hall meetings; furthermore, those people that can't or don't want to participate in the IRC meetings can use the answers to make a more informed vote. Hence we need to prepare a few good questions that we can send to the candidates once the nomination period ends. And that's where I need *your help* now: If you have one or more questions you'd like to send to the candidates simply go and add them to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections/F13_Questionnaire It just takes a minute or two, so best to do it right now -- otherwise you might get distracted and forget about it. ;-) I'll take care of the remaining work to review, sort, and clean up the questions(?); after that I'll send them to the candidates soon after the nomination period ended. Hence, I need your question suggestions by around the 15th November 17:00 UTC latest to get a chance to prepare everything in time. So please go to the wiki now and add at least one hard question! The answers will help Fedora contributors to chose whom to vote for! Thanks in advance for your help . CU knurd (?) If you haven't read about it yet see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections for details. (?) If you want to get involved or review the questions before I send them please drop me a line and I'll try to get that arranged; maybe we can arrange a quick, informal IRC meeting on Sunday evening if there is interest From rajesh672 at gmail.com Thu Nov 12 12:10:06 2009 From: rajesh672 at gmail.com (Rajesh Ranjan) Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:40:06 +0530 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora Maithili (mai-IN) News in Outlook magazine Message-ID: <5a62cd230911120410ic8f4acfqb6fd97da4ce89449@mail.gmail.com> Hi Hindi Outlook has published a news on the release of Fedora with Maithili language support. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxCnGsOcsrM/SvuXMdn21CI/AAAAAAAAAeE/tLRGTlTFpmQ/s1600-h/Outlook+Maithili.jpg -- Regards, Rajesh Ranjan www.kramashah.blogspot.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have been using Fedora as my main system since 5 years ago. I am a Fedora package maintainer in last 3.5 years. Currently I am maintaining ibus-table (and most of its table packages), liberation-fonts, cjkuni-fonts, scim-tables (and chinese table packages), and a few more packages in Fedora. I have been also developing ibus-table and flies recently. I am a member of Fedora Chinese (Zong-Wen) User Group - FZUG.

It is usual that people coming last write their name on top? I am not saying it is wrong, but it seems to me rude. What about just writing their names and leaving details for later? It just look like a foot on the door trying to keep it open. It worries me because if they are late to write a few lines, then how are expected to write answer to the long questionnaire proposed?

It appears that it is not usual but I don't see anything that actually says where to put your name so it is up to the candidate to choose and I guess up to you to make of their choice what you will. The details are left to the elective bodies to decide. FESCo, for instance, asks candidates to place names in alphabetical order but FAmSCo doesn't. > What about just writing their names and leaving details for later?

I think you should suggest everything that you feel would make the process better so we can learn and improve in the future.

I think you in the proper channel now since FAmSCo sets the rules and they should read what shows up here. Perhaps it will encourage others to make suggestions too.

First of all, we used to write candidate statment/future plans (and so on) since the first election hold in 2006. As I said writing a statment don't require 1000 words: even a word can clearly show the vision of the candidate. This is important because it helps figuring our the vision. We are Ambassadors, and an Ambassadors skill is to be able to communicate. You'll be able to see the list of names during the election, but sure, having the statments write in the nomination page doesn't create any problem. Second, we never had the problem to consider the alphabetical order, since we haven't noticed any problem with this system. If people prefer to have names alphabetically sorted, it's not a problem, just 2 minutes of wiki editing and everything will work. Tell us (from candidates too) if you need this to be done.

Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting we put the names in alphabetical order. I just used that as an example of one rule that exists elsewhere for ordering the names on the nomination page. Having them appear in the order the nominations were made seems good to me too, maybe even better since it carries some information along with it. I don't think we need to do anything this time around, but if people would like a more specific rule for next time they can suggest one. :) John From fugolini at fedoraproject.org Mon Nov 16 15:40:07 2009 From: fugolini at fedoraproject.org (Francesco Ugolini) Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:40:07 +0100 Subject: [Ambassadors] famsco nomination time is over in 24 h !!!

I think we haven't to set up limits: someone express him/herself with more words, someone else, instead, need only three words (no one is better, it's just a question of style, like behing Orwell or Joyce :)). The second question has a simple answer: no words, means no interest or no motivation to run. I think everyone has an idea, event "Organize Events for pets" (n.b. just an exageration). Moreover, he/she could have ALL the time needed to write this. So, just keep it blank when you take a decision, but in the following days, please, add even a brief statement. That's a reasonable and democratic way, and everytime it works fine. > Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting we put the names in alphabetical > order.

What about setting a rule, that it is okey if you don't want to write any statement, but the wiki will freeze at the time that nominations are closed. Or even freeze the statements declarations two days after nominations are closed. Probably it is just me looking for a more organized way when there is no real need for more rules. >> Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting we put the names in alphabetical >> order.

And them some one put his name on top. It seems rude to me, but it is not against any rule. I think going alphabetically will help avoid this perceptions. Not sure if it is needed this time, as there was not rule. If this is going to be applied now, I volunteer to do the wiki editing. But I will not undertake action unless is agreed.

I like rules because they simplify the system. In this case, however, the style is part of the candidate background. If you visit that page you'll firstly see the index. From the page index you'll be able to click on the candidate name and see his/her statement. Simple. I think, we come from difference cultures, with a different way to express ourselves. I see this like a way to learn something more from the other people: it's just part of the growth process of ourselves. Just let people roll out heir creativity and show their character. If we put rules on how to write the statments, people may face unufeull difficulties and someone could be less motivated to join the contest. > > When I pointed to the order, I just pointed that most running > candidates just wrote their name at the bottom of the list.

We have the wiki index, it's just a list itself. If you click on the names in the box you can read the details on the people. It's just work, isn't it?

CU knurd === Main questions === # What is ''The Fedora Project'' to you? # What do you consider to be Fedora's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raison_d%27%C3%AAtre raison d'etre]? # Where do you see the project in one years? # Where do you see the project in two years? # Do you see a long-term goal or a "target audience" Fedora should strive for? # What part of the Fedora project would you change, given total power to do so? # Please name three things you plan to work on and realize while being on the Committee you run for! # How would you measure your success as an elected member? # What are your unique strengths and what are your weaknesses? ==== Committee specific questions: Board ==== # Suppose a user/contributor brings up an issue that bothers an important fraction of Fedora community and he proposes a change in the default behavior of Fedora; but either you don't have personal interest in that area, or (as a user) the issue doesn't bother you. How would you approach the problem? ==== Committee specific questions: FAmSCo ==== # What would you be doing to ensure that as a body FAmSCo is communicating more with its constituents ? # What things should be done to promote Fedora in countries where there is little or no Fedora presence, and how you see FAmSCo can support those initiatives? # Do you see any shortcomings in the mentoring overall process? What do you want to change in that process? ==== Committee specific questions: FESCo ==== # Do you feel that a Fedora release should have a more conservative update policy than rawhide, and if so what types of updates do you feel are acceptable to a stable Fedora release? # Suppose a user/contributor brings up an issue that bothers an important fraction of Fedora community and he proposes a change in the default behavior of Fedora; but either you don't have personal interest in that area, or (as a user) the issue doesn't bother you. How would you approach the problem? === More questions === # Why are you a member of the Fedora project? # Please mention if you are running for re-election or not. Further: If you are running for re-election, what are the things that you promised but could not do? Why so? What are you planning to prevent a recurrence? If you are running for the first time, in your opinion, what are the things that the previous committee could do but couldn't/didn't? # What is the most important part of the Fedora the distribution? (IE, Desktop, FEL, AOS) # From your perspective what is it that Fedora brings to linux distros that is unique and original? What sets Fedora apart?

Nobody yelled, so I sent the questions to the people that are running in the elections by mail to the address from FAS. If you are one of those that are running and didn't get my mail please let me know asap. Deadline for answers: 20091124-06:00 UTC (the easier to remember date variant: have them finished by next Monday before midnight). I'll soon afterwards will try compile some documents that allow easy comparison of the answers.

This is my first time at NYSCATE, so I'm not sure what kinds of numbers I'm going to need. The guys tell me there will be thousands of attendees. We get rolling this weekend (Sunday November 22 - Tuesday 24, 2009) so I'm going to have take whatever can be shipped to me in the next day or so. Right now I don't have a thing and I'm not sure I'll even have time to print discs. If we don't have anything, we don't have anything. I'm just trying the last minute rally. ~Karlie From david at gnsa.us Tue Nov 17 22:00:23 2009 From: david at gnsa.us (David Nalley) Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:00:23 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] SWAG needed ASAP on Rochester NY In-Reply-To: <4B030224.2000607@webpath.net> References: <4B02DE15.4080304@webpath.net> <4B030224.2000607@webpath.net> Message-ID: On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 3:05 PM, Karlie Robinson wrote: > On 11/17/2009 01:31 PM, David Nalley wrote: >> >> Just saw the dates in the ticket, but when do you need it by?? >> What and how much do you need?? >> >> Unfortunately most of us are pretty low on swag, but we can send you what >> we have. > > > This is my first time at NYSCATE, so I'm not sure what kinds of numbers I'm > going to need. ?The guys tell me there will be thousands of attendees. > > We get rolling this weekend (Sunday November 22 - Tuesday 24, 2009) so I'm > going to have take whatever can be shipped to me in the next day or so. > ?Right now I don't have a thing and I'm not sure I'll even have time to > print discs. > > If we don't have anything, we don't have anything. ?I'm just trying the last > minute rally. > > ~Karlie > > > -- > Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list > Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list > I'll send you my remaining F11 discs, and some stickers.

I've put it on the agenda for the next meeting so that we'd have some time to think about it, or propose alternative ideas. The reasons behind the thought: 1) At shows, the Live ISO is more usable to demonstrate Fedora 2) If someone wants the DVD, in NA, they can easily download it 3) Eliminating the media production on the install DVD would save money. So give it some thought and weigh in at the next meeting (Tuesday December 1, 2009). Also, as usual, below are the logs for the meeting: 02:00:30 #startmeeting 02:00:30 Meeting started Wed Nov 18 02:00:30 2009 UTC. The chair is StabbyMc.

What is that? 02:07:08 Southern California Linux Expo 02:07:30 spot went last year and said it was cool. 02:07:39 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SCaLE_8x_Event 02:07:43 Ah, that would have been nice to attend. 02:07:44 SCaLE was awesome last year 02:08:37 lcafiero had it on the meeting agenda, hopefully he'll mosey in and can talk about it. 02:08:47 Until then, anyone else have events to discuss? 02:09:30 any fudcon news? 02:10:06 it is in Toronto! 02:10:54 I wish I was going. 02:11:02 Ok, so pressing on then ;-) 02:11:11 Budget? spevack? 02:11:22 not here. 02:11:41 #topic Task List Review 02:11:57 #info Fedora button downs 02:12:11 I got the approved proof of the fedora button downs. 02:12:20 I should get the shirt this week. 02:12:39 Rocking, count me in for a shirt, maybe two. 02:12:55 I'll take pictures once I've got it, and we can coordinate an order. 02:13:42 They're going to be white, and not specifically tagged as "ambassador" swag, so if any one in the community wants one, they can. 02:13:42 +1 for shirts! 02:13:43 hi I am from APAC, but nice to meet you guy 02:13:47 s 02:14:34 hey kaio: we're having the NA Ambassadors meeting. 02:15:05 I was hoping to have the pics of the shirt tonight, but no. 02:15:10 But this week. 02:15:14 there seem to be some general swag shortages ... 02:15:29 #info swag shortages 02:15:55 F12 media is ordered and should arrive end of month 02:16:09 expected wasn't it?? with the wind down of F11 and the event year, right? 02:16:09 but aside from pens and tattoos things are lean 02:16:10 StabbyMc? yeah thats why wanna say hello from another side of the globe 02:16:24 inode0: that's shipped to the regional heads? 02:16:54 some of it, some will go to FUDCon and Canada this time 02:17:01 media that is. 02:17:08 right 02:17:14 so how much? is there a price break for a certain #? how do "we" get them do we supply them to "community" as ambassadors .. the shirts.. 02:17:41 buy one or more if you want them I think will be the arrangement, just like polos 02:17:44 crossbytes: Not really a break on the number unless we're ordering upwards of 50 02:17:56 300 02:17:58 crossbytes: they're $30 + shipping. 02:18:13 FAmNA isn't buying them, individuals are 02:18:19 And an additional $2.00 per X you want over XL. 02:18:21 and that's about what the polos are iirc 02:19:15 I'll send out an e-mail to Ambassador list once I've got it in my hands. 02:19:22 my concern in raising this topic is that if people out of swag want more someone needs to know what? 02:19:23 FYI, I have vendor who does a carry bag and hats, if you are interested to consider. Also, I have gotten other shirts (fleece) from, too. 02:19:32 is this famna meeting? 02:19:34 * nb is here if it is 02:19:46 nb: indeed it is. 02:20:01 dramsey: if you are willing to do the work of getting things lined up, bring us a proposal 02:20:15 * inode0 always wants hats 02:20:18 me too 02:20:24 * lcameron likes hats too 02:20:24 Understood ---> 8-) 02:20:35 * StabbyMc feels that way about fleece. 02:21:01 inode0: so wha's up with the swag shortage. 02:21:08 i would like to buy some touques for up here in Canada 02:21:12 Do we want to just order replacements of what we've got? 02:21:25 touqes? 02:21:35 winter hat 02:22:06 I keep hearing people are basically out of stuff, if they don't want to say that here or what they want then we can move on 02:22:22 inode0: are you not out? 02:22:24 Must not be an important problem 02:22:47 I am out of case badges and shirts, and pretty low on media 02:22:50 I'm not out, but I'm low enough I can't send stuff to everyone 02:22:57 but that's about it 02:23:22 dnhodgson: ohhhh a watch cap...... 02:24:23 The only thing I am out of right now is shirts...but I am waiting for the F12 media Larry was going to talk to me about OSCON.. since it is going to be back in Portland. 02:27:02 The only other thing I have outstanding on my task list is window clings, and I'll start being active on it again after shirts get handled. 02:27:21 I for one would like to see a re-order of case badges. 02:27:34 And, although they're expensive, splatter tees. 02:27:58 +1 for case badges and splatter 02:28:21 +1 02:28:27 ok, that will be more than 3k in the same quantities, we need spevack to tell us if that is even remotely possible 02:28:28 +1 for case badges 02:28:36 how are we on the buttons as well 02:28:44 +1 case badges 02:29:00 +1 for case badges and splatter shirts... 02:29:03 and do we want more buttons 02:29:08 inode0: is it cheaper for us to increase quantity 02:29:13 +1 02:29:16 I mean cheaper as in per unit 02:29:41 with about a 5k budget and media + FUDCon I'm thinking 3k more for swag is maybe not happening 02:30:02 If I had to choose, I'd say casebadges are the priority, but that's me. 02:30:17 it might happen - depends on the other regions and their spending 02:30:20 ke4qqq: the badges are quite cheap once you hit a certain point around 1k 02:30:37 $1k or 1k in quantity 02:30:46 how many did we order last time? 02:30:47 and we proable dont have a setup charge again 02:31:07 no, they cost about $1 each for the first 1000 and then they get cheaper, closer to 10 cents each iirc 02:31:46 I just remember the bill was around 1400 02:32:02 so I'm guessing it was 3k or 4k maybe 02:32:33 k 02:33:13 inode0: I thought we had another 8k come dec 1 02:33:19 and 3k was going to media 02:33:21 iirc 02:33:40 I'm not clear on the budget to be honest 02:33:50 and the budget page still shows 6k available globally 02:33:56 but we'd have to spend it 'real soon' 02:34:03 spevack: ping 02:34:13 he's not in chan. 02:34:33 not talking anyway :) 02:34:42 about how much do tees cost? 02:34:51 300 cost about 1800 02:35:01 nb: depends - splatter are a bit over 5 each 02:35:08 the previous design was ~3 each 02:35:08 or we can go back to the white ones for something more like 1300 02:35:46 * nb thinks +1 to both, or if that isn't practical +1 to case badges 02:36:21 I sort of think we should go back to the cheaper t-shirts and get more of them if we have 1800 for them again 02:36:52 what were they like? 02:37:03 perhaps we should see if ianweller or $designperson wants to design a new shirt 02:37:16 nb: just a fedora logo on white 02:37:20 oh ok 02:37:24 color or black & white? 02:37:27 but both sides had something 02:37:28 color 02:37:36 that sounds like a good idea too 02:37:40 if its that much difference in price 02:37:54 the extra colors add a lot of expense 02:38:05 yes, and it depends on which version of the shirt it was 02:40:11 inode +1 02:40:24 * inode0 would like to see us get stickers but isn't volunteering 02:40:40 does someone want to volunteer to work on stickers??? 02:41:01 inode0: I've got it on my list, but if someone wants things to move faster, they can step up :-) 02:41:02 R we going to go to live DVD for F13? was there a decision made on the "ratio" of live to install media? 32-bit : 64-bit? sorry did not mean to interrupt about the tee's.. 02:41:12 i have looked but they were to dang expensive 02:41:32 * nb likes the idea of live dvd 02:41:44 I don't know about F13 02:42:08 for F12 we ordered 3k live, 1.5k 32-bit DVD, and 1k 64-bit DVD 02:42:26 all of the live is 32-bit 02:42:36 and gnome 02:43:07 inode0: really??? /me wonders why I have so many DVDs left 02:43:18 seems like I got 600 of each 02:43:19 we ordered more last time 02:43:27 ahhh /me gets it 02:43:41 trying to get closer each time to what we actually need 02:43:50 yeah and that sounds about right 02:44:17 ke4qqq also for f13 we hit the summer-fall big event time as well 02:44:43 * ke4qqq wonders if we want to ever consider a kde livecd 02:45:01 ^ +1 02:45:09 oh btw we ran into a problem at linuxcon all of the LIVE CD's were Install DVD's that were in the Event box...so we had no live cd's to give out.. 02:45:10 +1 kde livecd 02:45:33 the sleve said Live but they were Install DVD's 02:45:53 crossbytes: both sides said Live? 02:46:00 I am routing my users over to I will load your USB key with the media during my events, too as food for thought... :) 02:46:06 Yes .. 02:46:19 +1 for media 02:47:11 anyone know if flash media has dropped in price enough to be reasonable? 02:47:27 ke4qqq: we looked like a month ago, and no. 02:47:51 ughhh ohh well 02:49:09 honestly I want to consider only live 02:49:26 +1 for live, too. 02:49:44 almost no one in NA takes a DVD back to their room and installs from it and almost everyone in NA can download it 02:50:14 with live media they can and do go back and try it out right then 02:50:28 +1 to that 02:51:02 Very logical indeed. +1 for the inode's insight and wisdom 02:51:18 interesting thought 02:51:21 +1 to the insightful one. 02:51:26 does that mean we should move to livedvd? 02:51:38 I think that is likely to happen 02:52:02 it may be a moot point if we only produce live dvds in the future 02:52:20 * ke4qqq wishes anaconda on the livecd offered more options, then I'd fully support the move away from install dvds 02:52:23 dropping CDs seems to be inevitable 02:52:51 in NA I agree, but not sure about other regions 02:52:55 Maybe we could have the isolinux bootloader offer to boot live or go into the installer? 02:53:55 yeah - though we'd prolly need to talk to fesco about such things, but should be accomplishable 02:54:37 * laubersm likes that idea... 02:54:57 +1 to Live DVD 02:55:01 In turn, this nudges the person in order to do what they could do...which is download install content themselves...empowering the person. 02:55:03 That's a pretty easy change to isolinux. 02:55:08 +1 to idea. 02:55:13 I hate to see the loss of CD's. Lot's of people are willing to try new OS on old equipment 02:55:20 LAWeber, true 02:55:33 although, if we ant to keep livecd, i like the idea of booting into an installer 02:55:34 Keep an eye on lzma + squashfs for 2.6.33. (Phillip has indicated this will happen.) quoting from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Games_Spin this is needed to realy do Live DVD's 02:55:58 this will be a board/fesco thing to decide - I'm hearing it discussed as a future path though 02:56:00 or if the installer won't download additional packages, maybe have the installer either boot into livecd or into netinstall 02:56:41 #topic open floor 02:56:53 We've kind of already moved there, so I figured I'd make it official. 02:56:58 the live CDs are a bit too restricted to fairly show the power of Fedora as it is 02:57:26 if the livedvd gives choice then i am for it 02:57:29 what crap is this? no open office even? 02:57:33 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Toronto_2009 my best to you all for this event in just over two weeks, Toronto, Ontario December 5th-7th, 2009. 8-) 02:58:05 +1 to choice and freedom! 02:59:30 So what/who is going to take the next step and talk to FESCo? 03:00:25 not us :) 03:00:47 So why are we talking about it? 03:00:55 we drifted 03:01:07 What? Damn it, I'm a bad moderator. 03:01:17 Ok, so other open floor items? 03:01:19 for F13 I'd like us to consider only producing live media, whether those are CDs or DVDs 03:01:48 if we only produce live media it would be easy to add KDE to the mix 03:01:54 now it is too expensive 03:01:57 I am sorry my fault.. This has been brought up on the dev list.. 03:02:48 it is no problem 03:02:51 so foreseeing potential issues down the road...... 03:03:33 how do we handle the situation where - $exoticDE wants us to do their live media 03:03:37 since aside from the 'default' spin, the rest are equals. 03:03:39 * ke4qqq ducks now 03:03:50 we can say it costs too much unless there is demand 03:04:15 we can say that about KDE too, I have zero people asking me for KDE based media 03:04:44 maybe that's because we have only ever offered Gnome 03:04:53 but I'm not against trying it once and finding out if it is just as popular 03:05:00 do we have a "other spins are available at" footnote on the covers? 03:05:01 schroedingers cat type thing 03:05:14 people on show floors don't know what we have 03:05:14 laubersm: we don't now 03:05:25 and they don't ask for KDE media in my experience 03:05:47 so part of the KDE opportunity I see is this: 03:06:02 1. We typically lead with KDE releases - we release the latest first 03:06:19 2. That's a good way for KDE to show off (and us too) 03:06:48 We'd be helping the KDE community, and hopefully garnering some good will (and additional contributors) in the process 03:07:17 as I said I am in favor of trying KDE live media, we just can't do 6 different kinds of media so something else has to go 03:07:49 true 03:07:54 I think install DVDs should go for unrelated reasons creating an opportunity 03:09:21 I will note that on the FreeMedia front in NA almost all requests are for 32-bit install DVDs 03:10:12 Not that I want to discourage the discussion, but it's getting late. Maybe we can put some brainstorm ideas on the agenda for next meeting? I think if we have some time to think about it we might come up with some different ideas. inode0 would you be opposed to putting your thoughts on the agenda? 03:10:14 +1 to choice, experience, freedom, and KDE.

Does this fellow have a mentor in the Ambassador program who can follow up with him? ----- Forwarded message from "R. Kopka" <> ----- Greetings Fedora Team, I am a long time Fedora user, using Fedora 12 KDE right now. (started with FC3) A few weeks ago I joined the Ambassador program, and have yet to hear anything about it in email, or otherwise. It is my wish to spread the good news of Fedora Linux, and educate everyone on how secure and stable Linux really is. I keep both the i386 and the 86_64 versions available on my hard drive for those who ask me for a copy, in the past three years or so I must have burned off 20 copies for people, at my own expense. I am a computer repairman, I work from my home to supplement my meager social security income. One of these kits would go a long way toward supplying people with genuine Fedora media, and the written materials would help me immensely is spreading the word. Rest assured that each and everything I get will be used, or given to those who will use them. You know, I have been seeing those new MAC commercials, and I said to my son, also a Fedora user, wouldn't it be great if Fedora had a TV commercial? Two thing I can do well is talk about Linux, and write about Linux. I offer to you my service, in whatever capacity I can help with, and ask for a kit of my own, and possibly some kind of card?

Minutes - Release events: - Planned at MIT Manipal, early January (Ankur Sinha) - Release party, install fests at Bikaner (Jaideep) - Plans to migrate 100 desktops of Coal India to fedora12 (Pradipta) Tamil team discussion: Postponed (next meeting?) Discussion over fedora ambassadorship - Making sure that blogs of *every* Ambassador is on planet.fedoraproject.org - some sort of system to prevent people from signing up (because its ultra cool) and then not working. - make a nice proposal and send it for discussion and whatever be the result send it to FEMSco for approval - ideas, such as an Ambassador should be participating in at least one Fedora subgroup (ie docs/packaging/design/websites...) - Mentoring to make sure newbies holding release fests know what to say ie - *correct content* (since they're short on experience, we don't want them saying stuff that is different from the community's working etc.) - Setting up a wiki page and supplying people with updated slides and material to be used at release fests. - collecting feedback after a Fedora event from the audience (ideas needed on how to go about doing this). - regular IRC meets : fortnightly *at least* - good install fests never turning into sustained activities : why?? ========================================================================== These are only ideas in short. Please go through the meeting logs provided above. There's quite a lot of work to be done. - I'm in-charge of rounding up all "FAs from India"'s blogs and making sure they're on the planet. - Slides etc? (any hands ??) There are also agendas that still need more discussion. Future meets or discussions on the mailing list are needed. Thank you all for attending :) Have a nice evening regards, Ankur PS Also forwarding the the ambassadors list.

Hi, All! I missed IRC chats last week but it's great that you passed message trough mail list. Where can I read transcript or whatever additional info about Campus Ambassadors program? I am university teacher (CS dept. Chernigiv Dtate Technological University, Ukraine) and we have a lot of ideas and a lot of work planed to promoute free software in Ukrainian higher education. We founded University Linux Competence Center that helps university teachers and students in adaptation of teaching process to Linux free software. We have more then 50 active students in our team. 27. Nov. we have a little conference in Chernigiv Dtate Technological University plus Linux install fest and planning a lot of activities. Fedora is widely useed at our CS dept. so Fedora 12 will be show star :) And we are planning a lot of other activities so we're looking for partner universities from EU, especially regarding to "TEMPUS" EU Commission project where we have good experience of last 3 years. CSTU officials are wery positive to our initiatives and support ULCC. As you can see, I am very interested in Fedora and RH programs aimed to educatgion. In my opinion, education is key to technology promotion. PS. Unfortunately, our sites do not contain yet much info in English, but anyway it could be interesting, English pages of ULCC is in progress. http://ulcc.org.ua http://cs.stu.cn.ua http://www.stu.cn.ua ????????, 24-???-2009 23:26:36 Larry Cafiero ?? ????????: > Hey, all -- > > There's a discussion currently in #fedora-ambassadors around the Campus > Ambassadors program.

I understand it is a burden to candidates and a lot of work for you to collect and organize the answers but it sure makes for some interesting reading.

If you are able to attend, feel free to ask there. In the past we haven't had problems with having enough questions from people attending the town halls. I think we just had a week long period for questions to be asked of the candidates via the questionnaire. Each moderator is free to handle extra questions however they see fit though. I do think preference should be given to those actually attending.

Numbering is OK. Is it too often we have Fedora releases (I am not sure -maybe), but definetely we should keep the current numbering which is clear and easy. Instead I am suggesting that we should get rid of the confusing naming while version already has its number. Why then use additional name (like Leonidas, Constantine) anymore? It's just confusing for the people who does not know those names and they hardly know that Fedora is a LINUX!! I think we should rather add name Linux before/after the word Fedora in official naming so it would be easier to explain what it is after all.

Probably it will be worth googling for that. Hope this pointers lead you in the right direction.
