Both events were honestly a bit disappointing. Seemed like attendance was less than 100 (and struck me as less than 50 if you didn't include the Ubuntu LoCo booth workers) at FLS-JAX. Orlando may be a completely different story, and I know we have at least one person in Florida.

We are attending more than 400 students from various High Schools. Canonical send us a lot of CD's stickers and other material. But I am a Fedora ambassador and I would like to spread Fedora, and not Ubuntu (or not only). It's possibile to have some CD's, gadgets or something similar?

Canonical is that RedHat / Fedora are sponsors of the event SFD. The difference is that Canonical sent us lots of CDs, stickers and more. Fedora anything. Our group (FSUGitalia), everything is based on self-financing, and many already spend our money to organize the event itself. For this reason there is no money to print even the CD fedora. Moreover, even as an image, the CD would certainly not manually burned the same image than give these Ubuntu. I asked if it is possible to have media / gadgets Fedora did not want to distribute only canonical material. If there are, we will be forced to give only the ubuntu cd.

Egypt Ambassadors are the only group who knows Egypt's current technology trends, their events planning abilities, what kind of financials do we need and what kind of topics can be put in a Fedora event agenda and also as Maria mentioned companies/associations who can sponsor such an event. With the high degree of Technical skills acquired by most people working on IT-Related fields here in Egypt and also the passion of less-technical ones to open source technologies, i guess such an event will make a huge buzz here as the other events done before did. I can definitely help in planning and organizing such an event and more than open for more meetings and discussions about the whole thing.

It looks like it is shaping up to be a bang-up year with over 50 presentations throughout the three-day event. We're including Ian Weller and Fedora's Project Leader Paul Frields in our presentation schedule. We're very excited to have them come out and talk to the eager crowds in Utah and the Mountain West. If you happen to be in the area and want to enjoy a nice fall weekend in Utah, come on down. The leaves will be changing about then, the weather will be nice and cool, and the activities should be lots of fun.Here's some of the activities we have planned in addition to the presentations: * Fedora Activity Day, Thursday, October 8 all day. * Ignite Salt Lake 3.5, Thursday, October 8 @ 7pm * Geek Dinner on Friday, October 9 at Spaghetti Mama's * Family Day on Saturday, October 10 Bring your family to the conference for family friendly presentations * Try-It Lab and Workshops throughout the conference In addition, we're working on a presentation from the Open Document Format Alliance and a Day of Linux Training on Thursday from Guru Labs. I hope many of you can make it if you are in the region. We have tons of information available at our website http://2009.utosc.com, including lodging, events and more. Fedorans who volunteer their time at the booth can sign up on the Fedora wiki and will get in for free. We have given a few free passes to Larry Cafiero (lcafiero in #fedora-ambassadors) for those of you willing to spend a little time talking about Fedora to a bunch of geeks in Salt Lake City and the Mountain West. To sign up for the booth or the FAD, visit: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UTOSC_2009 or e-mail Larry at lcafiero-at-fedoraproject-dot-org If you are just interested in coming to the conference, there is a discount for Fedora contributors which can be used to register for 50% off. Use the following code at http://attend.utosc.com: FDRA I appreciate your friendship here at the Fedora Project and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in October.

Logistics! Documentation! News! Design! Ambassadors! (If I've missed a group that should know about this, please forward it on and let me know.) Linux Pro Magazine (LPM) has proposed to make a special Fedora print issue for F12 - thousands of magazines out on newsstands internationally with an F12 DVD tucked inside. This would be very, very cool. We're trying to figure out whether this is possible, whether we should do it, and (if both of those are "yes"), how the balance of work would be distributed between the Fedora community (perhaps with help from the Red Hat Brand team) and LPM.

This is moving quite rapidly (it first came up on Wednesday afternoon; we need to give a yes or no for F12 next week), so I've summarized the current state of things on a project page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine. We would particularly love your ideas for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine#Contribution_balance.

There are a few points that I'd like to add to this discussion. (1) Nothing has been decided yet -- as a collective, we need to think about the ideas presented by LPM, as well as the timeline that we would have to operate under, the content that we would need to produce, etc. (2) There is a price tag associated with this project, that (if we say yes to it) will require us to get a bit clever with the way we plan for Fedora 12 media, especially in North America and Europe (where the magazine is published). If we say yes to this overall deal, it will get us three things: + Magazines (including the 32-bit DVD) on sale at news-stands and bookstores in North America and Europe + 1,000 magazines (including DVD) shipped directly to the Fedora Project, that we can do with as we choose. + 8,000 DVDs shipped directly to the Fedora Project, that we can do with as we choose. That means 9,000 DVDS (and 1,000 magazines) that we would probably use as the VAST MAJORITY of our media during the Fedora 12 cycle. We would probably *not* produce a large quantity of separate LiveCDs, which has been the habit for the past several releases. Furthermore, the DVDs would come in plain white sleeves (not Fedora-designed sleeves), and the artwork on the face of the DVD would be Fedora-related, but would also have the Linux Pro Magazine logo on it. I would like to know how Ambassadors feel about this. --Max From mspevack at redhat.com Fri Sep 4 21:59:35 2009 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 17:59:35 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] Re: Is it possible for Fedora developers to visit Egypt?

One of the things that is very important to me is to have a significant Fedora event in Egypt sometime in the next 6-9 months. I'd be curious to know from our Ambassadors in Egypt if there are any large computer or open source events in Egypt that we can schedule around. I'd like to bring a large, multi-day Fedora Activity Day to Egypt, and have something that we can build on in that part of EMEA year after year. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD --Max From mspevack at redhat.com Fri Sep 4 21:59:40 2009 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 17:59:40 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora - Sponser Software Freedom Day In-Reply-To: <1251537551.5551.21.camel@greyf11> References: <1251488610.2787.27.camel@greyf11> <1251537551.5551.21.camel@greyf11> Message-ID: On Sat, 29 Aug 2009, Roger Sinel wrote: > Yes, it would be nice to know what the sponsorship entails Max? > > I know Fedora has supplied media and promotional material for some > events where Ambassadors are present and talking about fedora. > > But as where Canonical has supplied media for 200 SFD Teams worldwide, > what has Fedora/Redhat agreed to with Software Freedom International? My understanding is that Canonical is the *primary* sponsor of SFD, which is part of a contract that they had w/ SFD for a few years (I think this is the last year). That is why Canonical stuff gets sent automatically to various SFD activities worldwide. Fedora agreed to be a smaller sponsor of SFD this year, mostly because it felt like the "right thing to do" because I know that a lot of Fedora contributors participate in Software Freedom Day -- I gave a speech at the one in Chapel Hill a few years ago. Perhaps our sponsorship of SFD will increase dramatically in future years, and perhaps it will not. This year, we simply provided a small amount of money to SFD as a way of lending Fedora's support to their efforts. Software Freedom Day is a concent that is bigger than any single distribution, after all. On the other hand, it seems like there have been a lot of people jumping up on the list in the past few weeks saying "I'm doing something for SFD, how do I get materials?" That's a fair question, but it would have been helpful if those events were on the Events wiki page earlier, so that we could have done a better job planning resources for them. Especially in Europe, we're pretty much out of F11 CDs, because these events weren't listed back when we were thinking about how many we needed to make. --Max From mspevack at redhat.com Fri Sep 4 21:59:48 2009 From: mspevack at redhat.com (Max Spevack) Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 17:59:48 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Ambassadors] LinuxCon 2009-09-21 In-Reply-To: <4A9D5153.8000904@redhat.com> References: <4A9D5153.8000904@redhat.com> Message-ID: On Tue, 1 Sep 2009, John Poelstra wrote: > I see LinuxCon (hosted in conjunction with the Plumbers Conference) in > Portland, Oregon, listed on the events page.... coming up very soon. > > I don't know anything about the structure of the event so forgive me > if it has already been discussed here..

I attended a talk about PHP last year that had a good audience, so one or two technical talks about Fedora would also probably get a good audience. --Max From larry.cafiero at gmail.com Fri Sep 4 22:23:40 2009 From: larry.cafiero at gmail.com (Larry Cafiero) Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 15:23:40 -0700 Subject: [Ambassadors] LinuxCon 2009-09-21 In-Reply-To: References: <4A9D5153.8000904@redhat.com> Message-ID: <7a0d56080909041523l488958c1n5ce6f0e79c6b7ace@mail.gmail.com> Actually, I just talked to Angela Brown at the Linux Foundation (after trading calls and e-mails for the last few weeks) and, where once there was no room, something came up today and now we have space.

John, I can definitely use your help. I would like someone (you or someone else) to help setup the booth/table on Monday 9/21, I may or may not be able to make it that day (if I do it won't be for very long), but I will be there for both Tuesday and Wednesday. Once we get more logistics info from Larry we can iron things out a bit more. If I can't make it on Monday, we need to get the EventBox to whoever can be there on Monday. I also have an AmbassadorKit to bring. I am unable to attend the FAMNA meetings (due to band practice, and we have a concert coming up next weekend), so hopefully someone can proxy for me during that. Thanks! PS- I re-edited the wiki page for this event(1), after Larry told me we weren't able to attend I changed it, and now that we are I changed it back. So, also, anyone who is able to attend and help, please add your name to the page. (1) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LinuxCon_2009 ----- Matt M.

Before asking if anyone is doing anything for an event on the mailing list you should look at the Fedora events page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents As it does this time, it will often have a link to specific information about what the Fedora Project has planned for an event as well as how you can get involved. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ohio_Linux_Fest_2009 John From michael.silvanus at gmail.com Sun Sep 6 00:18:30 2009 From: michael.silvanus at gmail.com (Michel Alexandre Salim) Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2009 20:18:30 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] Fedora @ Ohio LinuxFest In-Reply-To: References: <615c05430909051621u4aead84bo68f5c57404455ab4@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <615c05430909051718i2358f27du9e72c648ea25800e@mail.gmail.com> On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 7:49 PM, inode0 wrote: > Before asking if anyone is doing anything for an event on the mailing > list you should look at the Fedora events page > > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents > > As it does this time, it will often have a link to specific > information about what the Fedora Project has planned for an event as > well as how you can get involved. > > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ohio_Linux_Fest_2009 > Aha, thanks.

We have some months before, and we can use them to improve this amazing experience in order to simplify the organization and giving more people the possibility to organize one. This time it would be great to have a plan (with some deadlines) so that we could be able to work together the other sub-projects. In primis, take a look at http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-all-tasks.html. You'll find the list of all the tasks planned by the other sub-project towards the GA. Meanwhile, as Ambassadors, we should be able to follow some of these passages working for what comes next to General Availability. Going into the depth, I want to point you to http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-marketing-tasks.html. According to marketing schedule, and FAmSCo agreed upon this, starting from September 15th (ending a week later), there will be "Brief FAMSCo and Ambassadors on Talking Points". So, here it the schedule I have in mind: - September 15th - September 22nd: work with Marketing on Talking Points (as they have planned) - September 23rd - October 15th: 1. have some meetings in order to see what we need and propose ideas 2. create a wiki page with events and see the possibility to spread the calendar all over the internet 3. ask Fedora Design about flyers design and collateral 4. FAmSCo budget availability/distribution discussion - October 30th: having a meeting with Ambassadors, FAmSCo and Local Contacts (most of them are part of FAmSCo) to discuss about the status and to answer all the open question/solve the last open issues. - General Availability: starting keep track of all events trough the planet, M-L and so on. I hope we can all agree with these schedule (tell me if something is not clear).

In the longer term we really do want to move away from the Install DVD to a Live DVD that has more relevant applications and content -- as opposed to the kitchen-sink approach of the Install DVD. But nevertheless, most people choose the DVD over Live CD because it's perceived to be "more == better." Given that fact, and being rational about our budget, I think it makes sense to leverage this approach to provide most of our distributable media. If that's the standard Install DVD, I'm OK with that. We should ensure the general community understands the reasons for sticking with the install DVD for purposes of this promotion.

Ok, random question. Could we produce a LiveDVD image that would include all of the packages on a normal DVD install (if you didn't customize your choice of packages)? Or does the desktop SIG have a LiveDVD image? Jonathan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Mainly, live cd copies the image over, which is inflexible. Further, sometimes the live installer does not work, but the DVD based anaconda does. Another reason to use a dvd iso is, that you can use it as the basis for kickstart installs, specially with virtual machine installs, as most common packages are available.

I'd like to thank Red Hat for making this an especially memorable Red Hat Summit for me and all those who have sent me messages in this thread and elsewhere. Some of those personal messages mean more to me than I can express. My submission tried to emphasize involvement in three intertwining communities: the Red Hat customer community, the #rhel community support channel on freenode, and the Fedora Project. And while singling people out to thank is problematic, I really feel I need to thank a few people who were instrumental in helping me find my way. M?ir?n Duffy in one way or another had a hand in my participating in all three communities. When someone's devotion to a community makes you wonder why she cares so much that you go to investigate the community yourself, well, you have an ace recruiter. merlinthp and delhage put up with my initial grumpiness long enough in #rhel to allow me time to find a place to fit in. If you want to learn how to run a public IRC channel that fosters a friendly and productive community go watch how Howard and Lars do it. A bit more than one year ago I blundered into being part of the rebirth of the Fedora Ambassador program in North America. gregdek made a commitment to empower ambassadors to take control of their own activities and this fundamental change in ownership resulted in the creation of FAmNA. It has been a joy to make a small contribution to the work of Clint, David, Brian, Pascal, and the rest of the FAmNA community over the subsequent months.

The more reasons I came up with from an Ambassador's point of view that we should wait for F13 - 1) Dracut being new -- would love to have it have a dry run in with public to work out any bugs if any.. -- I feel that any glitches in any other area other than the boot process/Install can always be worked out in the update process but for boot/install if I was a user new or not if the install did not work out I would not go online (if I was able to, not primary computer) and find out if there are workarounds I would just reinstall the previous OS that i know that works...(Of course I really do not know allot about Anaconda or Dracut so excuse me if I am speaking incorrectly.) 2) F12 would release '2009-11-10' this being the date for us in the NorthWest (US) and I think most of the world would be a tough time to do Release party's (Thanks Giving, Christmas, weather) but F13 would be great so we could ALL work together to make well coordinated release party's around the world to coincide with the publication of the Magazine even give some magazines (4-5) away possibly as SWAG even run blurbs in Newspapers 'Fedora 13 as seen in book stores in Linux Pro Magazine Special Edition'. or whatever..(this being a LP magazine release I just think we should give it our all.. and I think better weather, better economy, more people..) 3) Not that almost 3 months is not enough time to write an article about F12 but I think that if we wrote articles about the upcoming Features in Fedora 13 now.. then expanded on those as we got closer we might also be able to have a consistent theme that runs within all of the articles other than the only theme being Fedora Itself...like working in the being 'green' low power consumption -- >'The new tickless kernel is provided in Fedora 9 and likely to move to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the >future.

This is true of virtually every Fedora release - we are always pushing the edge a bit further out. For instance, with F11, the storage section of anaconda was rewritten., F9 moved from sysvinit to upstart, and a new version of X.org. F12 has dracut. There is never likely to be a Fedora release where something foundational isn't changed in some earth shattering way. > > 2) F12 would release '2009-11-10' ?this being the date for us in the > NorthWest (US) and I think most of the world would be a tough time to > do Release party's (Thanks Giving, Christmas, weather) ?but F13 would > be great so we could ALL work together to make well coordinated > release party's around the world to coincide with the publication of > the Magazine even give some magazines (4-5) away possibly as SWAG even > run blurbs in Newspapers 'Fedora 13 as seen in book stores in Linux > Pro Magazine Special Edition'. or whatever..(this being a LP magazine > release I just think we should give it our all.. and I think better > weather, better economy, more people..) So the May release tends (in my experience) to have less in the way of release parties and activity immediately around it. I think this is because it's summer (at least in the northern half of the globe) and school is either already or about to be. People are going on vacation, etc. That said, I have zero data to back this up. I would think that what is winter in NA and EMEA would prompt more reading and computer time as well, but perhaps I am wrong and it's merely my inferences. > > 3) Not that almost 3 months is not enough time to write an article > about F12 but I think that if we wrote articles about the upcoming > Features in Fedora 13 now.. then expanded on those as we got closer we > might also be able to have a consistent theme that runs within all of > the articles other than the only theme being Fedora Itself...like > working in the being 'green' low power consumption -- So here is the problem. Right now we don't know which features will be in F13. To give you an example - Openchange was announced as a potential feature for F10. I was thrilled with yet another barrier being gone and started advertising the fact ahead of time, I even had a magazine article queued up for LPM on the subject. However Openchange didn't make the cut, and didn't debut til F11. I fear that one we'd end up in a mad scramble to replace content at the 'last minute' So until about 3 months before release we won't really know what the whole 'approved' feature list is going to be. I think the questions are still essentially what Mel posed: 1. Can we hit the financial requirements 2. Can we hit the editorial requirements 3. Can we make sure this remains a Fedora project funded by RHT and not a RHT project supported with content from Fedora. The people I have informally talked with on IRC seem to think it's a good idea in general. Whether it is a good idea for F12 remains to be seen.

We're working on the details of Family Day, but we have a Pizza party (sponsored by openSUSE and Novell) as well as a plan to have activities for kids and families alike. We have several presentations that should be family friendly as well, so check out the Saturday list at http://2009.utosc.com/presentation/schedule/. Other things we're working on: Treasure Hunt with GPS for families. Lego building contest at Ignite 3.5 (we'll hopefully be able to steal them for the rest of the weekend) Try-It Lab Workshop for families on Saturday morning Hope that helps. I'm looking forward to seeing all of my friends from Fedora at UTOSC 2009. Thanks for the support.

Myself and Mr. Ramadoss from NRCFOSS, Fedora Ambassasador conducted the event. Ramadoss introduced the students to the philosophy of free software and Stallman?s crusade against the imposition of proprietary software. He delved into the GNU philosophy and gave several examples to emphasise the concept. He then talked about the open source community following which we demonstrated a Fedora 11 installation. We got a volunteer to install the operating system. The audience had several doubts about the install process, and we resolved them. For the fun of it we tried to install in Hindi once, but reverted to English finally. After the demonstration, I spoke about the software available in Fedora, and then about a few basic command line utilities. It was followed by a talk on bash scripting.

Today, Sunday, September 13, 2009, I deployed Fedora 11, and Fedora 11 offline repository at Devnar Foundation for the Blind, Mayurmarg, Begumpet, Hyderabad, India. They have been using a proprietary software on a proprietary system, and wanted to explore better alternatives in this regard. I was given a 256 MB RAM system, with 40 GB hard-disk. This system did not have Internet connectivity. The offline repository really helped. Most of the systems are donated by companies for the school to use. The school follows the Andhra Pradesh State syllabus, and this year they have introduced Intermediate (after Board X). They write their exams on slate or on Braille paper (which I believe, is very expensive). Some students stay in the school hostel, while others' are day scholars. They do have one MountBatten Brailler [1] (costing around 1,00,000 INR) which can produce output to a computer or a printer. It also spells out the input. I didn't have time to test it with Fedora (serial, parallel ports). A junior teacher, Miss. Shashi, did try out Orca [2] with the Gnome shortcut keys, listening to Orcas' audio output. She was able to navigate through the Gnome menus, and use Openoffice.org Writer. They did want spoken American English, which is default in Gnome. It will be good to have those Orca audio recorded in Telugu or other regional languages in India. There were some very interesting questions like: * Orca loads only after logging in -- which spells out menus, the frame window that is selected, keys pressed etc. So, grub which loads prior to all these doesn't announce the choice of kernel. So, how does one choose the right kernel? * A sound can be played after gdm loads? Otherwise, they wouldn't know if the system booted to gdm or not. If there are multiple user accounts, some application need to spell-out the login names? * By default there is no shutdown sound in Fedora 11? How to set one? * Some applications pop-up menus didn't support tab feature, so one had to remember to use shortcuts like Alt+S to Save, or Alt+C to Cancel. I shall check these requests with the Orca project team, and any other queries that they might have as follow-ups. I would like to thank Padma Shri Dr. A. Saibaba Goud for giving me an opportunity to deploy the solution at their school. Thanks to Rakesh ("arky") Ambati for introducing me to them, who also works for 'Braille Without Borders' [3]. Eric Ofori from South Africa will be following it up with support for the school staff (about 40 in number). If anyone in Hyderabad is interested in helping them, please do contact me offline. With all due respect to the physically challenged, I did not take any photos.

This campaign was called Jagriti, as it looked as an apt name for it since, its an awakening from the darkness which has for so long prevailed that, is not confused by light by all the mortals who don?t have a mind of their own :D And at last i thought it was time to take an initiative to start the freedom movement afresh where it had lots its steam. So now it was the time. This [1] is exactly what i have started along with another lug-jaipur (linux users group jaipur) member mukul gupta, also skit-osum [3] leader of my college, which also is an enthralling community of over 500 members which also makes it one of the seven such communities the world over. The project is well supported by our IT-Head of the department who is willing to do anything for it, he is even willing to change the whole infrastructure of few labs who have computers from the times of Adam, and would get some new sleek machines and you can imagine the joy of installing fedora 11 on them. That is just a notice which had to be circulated around the college to inform all the teachers and students what is going around. According to it, all the programming work will be done on linux and we are to assist the concerned teachers to implement it in their respective labs. This becomes so necessary pertaining to the wide spread use of turbo C which sensible people all around the world have even forgotten about but for some god knows what reason it happens to be the most popular IDE in india for c/c++. Though when we were planning our shift to fedora a guy also suggested to use another IDE for windows instead and i remember giving him some strange sort of looks and he knew what was coming and he shut up, but later i also explained him a few things and made that strange thought to go away. Everything seems to have been falling into place and we are about to start with our labs from monday, assisting teachers to write their c/c++ code on fedora. The project is witnessing a mild start but the whole picture will get clear by end of the next week and how have we performed in the coming week, and there-after we would be too glad to involve lugj and the indian foss community and take the initiative to a whole new level. keeping fingers crossed :D [1] http://bit.ly/eHM2L [2] http://lugj.in [3] http://studentdevelopers.ning.com/group/skitosum regards Adip -- My web home http://acedip.in Linux Users Group Jaipur http://lugj.in -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/FA/L/MU/P/S !d s:- a-- C UL P++ L+++ E- W++ N++ o K-- w--- O- M- V PS PE Y PGP t 5 X R tv b DI D G e h+ r- y++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We didn't had any SIG for creating Live DVD and Live DVD spin. So I have started the same. The main motive of the SIG will be to roll out one live DVD per fedora release which will have all the packages of live cd and other packages as suggested by the community. For this to be a success, community support is very much required. Interested contributors please join the SIG at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/LiveDVD .

Creating the spins is handled by the different SIGs. The KDE SIG creates the KDE-Spin, the Xfce SIG is responsible for the Xfce-Spin and so on. Many of them have their own mailing lists: fedora-desktop-list is for discussions about the Desktop Spin, the fedora-kde-list is the place for KDE discussions ... Plus we have the fedora-spins-list for technical discussions about the spins. And if there is something not covered by these lists, its discussed on fedora-devel. IMO this makes sense. > What I have started is a SIG to create the Live DVD spin. The creation itself is done by the release engineering. Not even I as a spin owner create my own spin, I just provide the kickstart file. If you are talking of *composing* the spins: This is also done by members of the SIGs and I think this should be left to the experts who know Gnome/KDE/Xfce/whatever best. IMO there is no "one size fits all" - and this is just the reason why we started creating different spins.

Awesome! I'll be in orientation until about 18:40 UTC, but will be logging the conversation and will run over as fast as I can at the end to see what we can do in Marketing to follow-up with any materials Ambassadors might want for F12 release events. (Our weekly Marketing meeting is actually just 2 hours after this, at 20:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting.)

Talk to the regional groups about an order. This invariably means you'll pay for shipping and the shirt, as these tend to be a bit expensive. If you need t-shirts as swag for an event there are a couple of options. The first is that you should check with the people in your region responsible for swag, and see what they have available to you, and what the cost of shipping is. If there are no t-shirts or the shipping cost is prohibitive, please talk to the regional contacts about funding to have t-shirts made locally for you. Unfortunately no t-shirt fairy exists that can send one or two out, though I think we'd be happy for you to have one of the pieces of swag that's handed out at an event. Sending mail to the mailing list saying 'I need a shirt too' also doesn't help you, please talk directly with the people in your region if you need resources, the 'me too' thread tends to not get anything accomplished for you.

I think it's quite readable, BTW, if you prefer to have a summary of what was said, tell me. Regards Francesco (some useless text was removed in order to simplify the reading/understanding) (20:03:49) fugolini: BTW, lets begin (20:03:54) fugolini: Roll call: (20:03:58) fugolini: Francesco Ugolini (20:05:27) yn1v: Neville A. Cross - Nicaragua (20:10:43) fugolini: 1) What are Release Events? Why organize one? (20:10:43) fugolini: 2) Discussion and explanation of the F12 REs organization roadmap (20:10:44) fugolini: 3) Past experience: is there you want to share with other ambassadors? (20:10:44) fugolini: 4) ...space for other suggestions... (20:10:53) fugolini: This is the meeting agenda. (20:11:00) fugolini: Any question on this? (20:11:18) ***tatica_ Maria Leandro (20:11:43) fugolini: thank you (20:11:49) yn1v: no questions (20:11:52) fugolini: Ok, just start with: 1) What are Release Events? Why organize one? (20:12:42) fugolini: Maybe most of you know what Release Events are. In few words: a public event dedicated to the new release, with speeches, demos, installation, party and so on. (20:14:00) fugolini: The core principle of these events are: (20:14:12) fugolini: 1) enjoy the event: our job is to make something that will promote Fedora, but, firstly, if we are here, is to make something that we like to do. (20:14:41) fugolini: 2) organize something that could fit you: don't worry if you have 10 or 1000 people, the most important thing it's to spread fedora in the best way we can! (20:15:00) fugolini: 3) bring people: invite Fedora Contributors (from Docs, Packaging, Design and so on), friends who want to learn more and people that could be interested in using Fedora and/or could become contributors. (20:15:52) fugolini: 4) be simple: it's not important to have a catering service. Some snacks, a projector (or a pc screen), some CDs will make your event an Event. (20:16:04) fugolini: Remember: people are here to hear about Fedora and to share with other questions/experiences, they will thank you if you'll help make this happen :) (20:16:32) fugolini: From this perspective, using a free space would be the best idea. (20:16:45) lcafiero: LinuxKnight, ping (20:16:47) fugolini: Any question on this part? (20:17:04) fugolini: ok, just move ahead. (20:17:06) fugolini: For CD/DVD: it's not simple to have these in time (since it requrie some time produce/distribute them). Here some interesting alternatives: (20:17:21) fugolini: 1) Make a LiveUSB station (20:17:30) fugolini: 2) Download the release and burn the media on your own (not a lot, they could be usefull to install on-place fedora and/or to give to people who can't afford an ADSl connection) (20:17:36) fugolini: 3) You could invite people to bring with them blank media to burn on it Fedora. (20:17:55) fugolini: 4) Suggestions are welcome! (these could help other people facing this problem) (20:18:17) fugolini: Questions? (20:18:30) yn1v: ! (20:18:38) fugolini: yn1v: (20:18:40) lcafiero: ? (20:18:49) yn1v: I suggest given a full set (20:19:04) fugolini: how? (20:19:09) yn1v: of DVD, LiveCDs to the hosting institute (20:19:35) yn1v: so they know that they can make copies later at the lab (20:19:43) fugolini: the big problem is that time between General Availability, Media production and Media shipment. (20:19:54) yn1v: at leats I did that last event and worked fine. (20:20:04) fugolini: on your own? (20:20:14) fugolini: I mean, you burned on your own? (20:20:19) fugolini: *burned media (20:20:22) yn1v: yes, but given a DVD, liveGnome, liveKDE is not that big burden. (20:21:14) fugolini: great. Yeah, my big concern was to have media produced gloablly/regionally and then spreaded. Sure, the way you suggest is the best one :) (20:21:21) fugolini: lcafiero: (20:21:30) susmit: hi (20:21:41) lcafiero: I'm sorry. I seem to have walked in on a meeting. Have I? (20:22:18) fugolini: lcafiero: no problem, you are welcome. If you need to ping, feel free. (20:22:20) fugolini: susmit: hi (20:22:31) lcafiero: but which meeting is this, just so i know? (20:22:50) fugolini: Release Events Introductory Meeting (20:23:06) lcafiero: grazie, fugolini. (20:23:22) fugolini: prego, lcafiero (20:24:45) fugolini: So, if you can burn media on your own, it would the best solution, since we will have not a lot of time to make it regionally. Naturally if NA/LATAM/EMEA/APAC want to organize this to meet their release events it would be a pleasure to help them. (20:25:44) fugolini: I hope all local contacts will be able to see this invite, but, it's highly understandable if they can't be able to accomplish this impossible mission. (20:25:55) fugolini: Another important data: events should take place in the 40days after the Release: but if you aren't able to organize it for that time, feel free to make it later. (20:26:29) fugolini: The principle is to not have a strict calendar: feel free to choose the date and time. (20:27:19) fugolini: Naturally since Fedora has a 6 months release cycle (12 months with security updates), the first 40 days are the best to spread out it. (20:27:29) fugolini: Doubts? Questions? (20:28:03) fugolini: Feel free to interrupt me whenever you want. I'm here to have a open discussion with whoever is interested organizing a Release Event (20:28:15) yn1v: I planned to close to release date last time, and strugled with the delays. (20:29:14) fugolini: yn1v: you are right. Like the last Release Events I suggest to think about the possibility to have 1 week of delay for General Availability. (20:32:11) fugolini: But don't worry about how far you are from the GA, just focus on what you can do. This is something we have to take in mind, it will help having a good organization and a excellent event. (20:32:20) fugolini: Questions? (20:32:39) fugolini: I said everything I had to say about our 1st topic. (20:32:45) fugolini: 2) Discussion and explanation of the F12 REs organization roadmap (20:32:58) fugolini: This is our second topic today. (20:33:05) fugolini: Take a look at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2009-September/msg00043.html (20:33:17) fugolini: This is our roadmap: (20:33:23) fugolini: - September 15th - September 22nd: work with Marketing on Talking Points (as they have planned) (20:33:28) fugolini: mel: are you here? (20:33:33) fugolini: mchua_away: (20:33:42) fugolini: ops, maybe he is away :P (20:33:45) fugolini: sorry (20:34:36) fugolini: BTW, this is something new from this release event. Since today we will start talking about (sorry for the repetition) "Talking points" (20:35:23) fugolini: these will help us having a structure on what we will say and will underline during such events and the next ones the will come till the next release. (20:35:58) fugolini: I invite everyone to stay tuned in Ambassadors List: there you'll learn more about this. (20:36:00) fugolini: Any question? (20:36:12) fugolini: ok, move on. (20:36:43) ***mchua is here from RH orientation (reading scrollback) (20:36:43) ***fugolini remembers everyone to interrupt him whenever you want. (20:37:15) fugolini: mchua: Hi, sorry if I pinged you when your nickname indicate you were away. (20:37:27) rislam: ! (20:37:30) fugolini: rislam: (20:38:07) rislam: in addition with the ambassadors list, i think marketing list always resourceful when we organizes events (20:38:37) fugolini: sure. (20:38:44) mchua: That's why I'm here. ;) (20:39:03) ***mchua heads up Fedora Marketing and is listening in to see whether you folks have any marketing materials requests for F12 release events. (20:39:31) fugolini: thank you mchua (20:40:16) yn1v: I will love a poster design for Launch party (20:40:23) mchua: thanks for holding this meeting fugolini! (20:40:37) fugolini: mchua: the pleasure is mine. (20:40:59) fugolini: yn1v: yeah, this sounds good. We do something for F10 Release Events (20:41:08) fugolini: it would be a good idea to have this. (20:41:12) yn1v: Something that may be easy editable to punt date/time/place (20:41:34) fugolini: mchua: can we ask you or should we open a ticket in Design TRAC? (20:41:38) mchua: yn1v: You can send that in as a request to either the design queue or the marketing queue (ours is at https://fedorahosted.org/marketing-team/newticket) (20:41:48) fugolini: great (20:41:50) mchua: A poster is probably more "design" than "marketing," to be honest. (20:42:15) mchua: But mizmo and I will pass things between our teams as it's appropriate, so feel free to go to either. (20:42:41) fugolini: ok. yn1v: will you create the ticket? (20:42:56) yn1v: yes, I will do that. (20:43:01) fugolini: perfect! (20:43:28) fugolini: mchua: for talking points. Is ok for you to have that discussion in Fedora Ambassadors List? (20:44:28) fugolini: Ok, here the next elements of our roadmap: (20:44:29) fugolini: - September 23rd - October 15th: 1) have some meetings in order to see what we need and propose ideas - 2) create a wiki page with events and see the possibility (20:44:29) fugolini: to spread the calendar all over the internet - 3) ask Fedora Design about flyers design and collateral - 4) FAmSCo budget availability/distribution discussion (20:45:08) fugolini: with yn1v question we have just cleared point 3) of this roadmap. (20:45:10) mchua: fugolini: Absolutely. I'll bring it to the ambassadors list after the marketing meeting today (in 1 hour 15 min, #fedora-meeting) (20:45:32) fugolini: no problem, take the time it requires. (20:46:36) fugolini: for 1) I think it would be good to have another meeting at the beginning of October: just to see the situation and suggest ideas. (20:46:37) fugolini: ok? (20:47:37) mchua: +1 (20:47:39) rislam: +1 (20:47:58) fugolini: The 2nd stage is to set up a good wiki page with all the events. (20:48:22) fugolini: Maybe moving towards the simple table and create something more readable and eyes-friendly (20:48:46) fugolini: I don't know use paragraphs and have not only the date, the city and the owner/s. (20:49:51) fugolini: But having the Place (City, with some reference to the place), the time and date, the owners and a description of what it would be offered (e.g. LiveUSB station, so it would be usefull to let people know bring your usb key with you and so on). (20:50:13) fugolini: It's important that we will be able to offer relevant informations to whoever is interested. (20:50:45) fugolini: If Marketing agree we could add that link in the Press Release. stickster: can we? (if we will create something reasonably presentable). It will take less than a line and will demonstrate that fedora takes care of what came next to GA. (20:51:24) rislam: ! ricky rislam (20:51:28) fugolini: rislam: (20:51:30) rislam: fugolini: u mean editing the existing Events wiki? or new wiki page for events (20:52:00) fugolini: no, creating a Release Events page. For each REs in the past we had a page, but was a table without many informations (20:52:11) stickster: ! (20:52:22) fugolini: naturally Release Events should be present in /FedoraEvents wiki page. (20:52:23) fugolini: stickster: (20:52:46) stickster: fugolini: So you're asking, can we add a link in our official press release that points to a new Release Events page, giving information on all release events for F12? (20:52:57) fugolini: yes. (20:53:08) stickster: fugolini: I think that's a great idea, and I bet it will be no problem (20:53:26) stickster: I'm going to email our PR person in Red Hat right now, who prepares the official press release from Red Hat, to ask her about it. (20:54:16) ***stickster suggests "F12 release events" for page title (20:54:24) stickster: (20:54:26) fugolini: great. We apreciate this effort. And sure we will do our best to offer something well done. (20:54:43) fugolini: stickster: ok. Thank you (20:55:44) fugolini: I'll update you when we will have set up the page and will have a reasonable number of events on it, in order to have an evaluation of the page and, if everything will be ok, roll out to the public. (20:56:02) stickster: fugolini: Fantastic! (20:56:35) fugolini: Now, we come to a crucial step in REs organization: 4) FAmSCo budget availability/distribution discussion (20:57:02) fugolini: I hope to add this point in this week FAmSCo meeting agenda (20:57:32) fugolini: and be able to say something about this as soon as I get some numbers. (20:58:09) fugolini: If you have questions or doubts about it that you want to share in order to report during that meeting, feel free to speak, (20:59:25) fugolini: ok, feel free to think at it and maybe write in Ambassadors List. (20:59:41) fugolini: Ok, we have the last point. (20:59:41) fugolini: 3) Past experience: is there something you want to share with other ambassadors? (20:59:49) inode0: may I just ask what is the normal funding for these events? (21:00:34) fugolini: inode0: during the last REs we give reimbursment according to the budget availability, but we have filled all the requests. (21:01:13) inode0: I have no idea what that means though, on average does a typical party get $25 or $100 or ? (21:01:24) fugolini: This time I want to work with people in order to set up great event, maybe suggesting different ways to save something. BTW, I think from a budget POV there qill be big problem. (21:01:44) fugolini: inode0: an average? 80-100$ (21:01:53) inode0: ok, thanks (21:02:25) fugolini: If there are snacks, media burning, flyer printing and other collaterals production (21:02:36) Southern_Gentlem: fugolini, limit the reembursements to $35-$50USD from the begining (21:03:17) fugolini: Southern_Gentlem: we base our reimburment on the receipts. BTW, if an event involves only 10 people sure it will sound strange to have paid 100$ (21:04:05) inode0: I was just trying to get an idea - I am not worried the funds aren't being used wisely and effectively (21:04:05) fugolini: Sure FAmSCo doesn't say to spend 80-100$ since, with our budget, we have to fund a lot of events . (21:04:59) fugolini: inode0: so think at 80-100$ , think at 0.50$-1$/person with food and beverage (21:05:13) fugolini: , swags and other collaterals (21:05:25) inode0: there can be strategic reasons to focus limited resources in certain directions I think (geographically and otherwise) (21:05:59) fugolini: sure, that's why we used fixed funding only for the first release event intiative (21:06:49) fugolini: From past experience: is there something that can help better address Release Events organization? (21:07:14) yn1v: ! (21:07:17) fugolini: yn1v: (21:07:31) davdunc: that makes sense. so there is a great deal of variance in how the money is spent, but you big guns are going to help folks like me make a decision about how to budget for that while we organize an event like this, right? (21:07:44) yn1v: Thinking back, I want to give a talk on how to contribute to fedora (21:08:27) yn1v: I think it is a good complement to explain fedora proyect and the new featurs of F12 (21:08:39) fugolini: yn1v: sure! (21:09:39) fugolini: These events are the best place to invite people contributing in Fedora. One of F12 Release Events is to promote contribution in the project. (21:09:57) fugolini: This will be a good thing. (21:10:31) fugolini: Another element that is consequential is keep a link between people who will join the event and the event owner. (21:11:13) fugolini: It will help boost fedora community in your area and having someone you'll able to work with. (21:11:27) fugolini: davdunc: sure. If you need (21:12:28) fugolini: we are here to see what we can do to help events owner. (21:13:55) fugolini: Our suggestion is to work on simple but effective events: something you can enjoy and that can make attendees enjoyed (21:15:07) yn1v: fugolini, this about keeping a link means keeping comunication open? (21:15:11) fugolini: If you need help to produce flyers/CDs/DVDs or having some beers/sneaks, and if we have the budget to help you, sure we will try to reimburse some of the expenses (21:15:19) fugolini: yn1v: yeah. (21:15:58) fugolini: The strenght of Fedora is the community. Ambassadors goal is to promote Fedora and, in order to do this, we should create a network (21:16:43) fugolini: I see the people that joined your past event, I'm sure you are a point of reference for them, you are the Fedora guy. (21:16:44) yn1v: I made singup list for the event, where it said they will be susbcribed to the loacl mailing list (21:17:32) fugolini: that's great. I underlined this to be sure this element could be done/achieved in the other release events. danielbruno davdunc (21:18:13) yn1v: Also, to show every where email of local ambassadors. I hope next time I made time to print some fedora's presentation cards (21:18:45) fugolini: sounds interesting. (21:19:29) yn1v: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Business_cards (21:19:34) fugolini: davdunc: if you have concern on budget management feel free to ask in Ambassadors List and/or contact you Local Contact (21:20:08) fugolini: yn1v: they help a lot, sure. (21:20:51) fugolini: Other suggestions? (21:21:47) fugolini: It's 1920 UTC, if there isn't anything to add, we can adjourn the meeting. (21:21:50) fugolini: is it ok? (21:22:08) yn1v: it is fine with me (21:22:18) fugolini: It was a pleasure to be able to talk with you about Release Events and having these feedbacks.

It would be great, if Fedora EMEA e.V. can handle your requests, but there are some logistical, also financial problems to solve first. The process to get such a Polo is in EMEA as follows: 1.) You add yourself until the given timeline on the wiki at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/PoloShirt 2.) If we'll have an amount of at least 50 Polos, we can order for a suitable price. 3.) if I have price for Polo and shipping I will send you an E-Mail in private with the amount of EUR you have to pay 4.) You will transfer the amaount you have to pay (Shirt Producing and shipping costs to your home) BEFORE WE CAN ORDER 5.) you wait until you'll receive the packet which I will send to you; best case after deadline 4 weeks ... Hope this will help and show you how the process is Friendly yours Gerold Am Dienstag, den 15.09.2009, 21:43 +0200 schrieb azzeddine.ramrami at free.fr: > Hi, > I would like to get four T-Shirt. > Regards; > Azzeddine RAMRAMI > Mobile : +33 6 29 90 90 68 > Skype : azzeddine.ramrami > > ----- Mail Original ----- > De: "Juan Carlos Watts" > ?: fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > Envoy?: Mardi 15 Septembre 2009 15:43:39 GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Berne / Rome / Stockholm / Vienne > Objet: [Ambassadors] Re: Fedora T-Shirts > > > Yes! i would like to get one too. > > -- > Watts, Juan Carlos > Fedora Ambassador > FingerPrint > F2CB 9260 3469 88F1 E8C7 82F8 973F B27B BBEB 6F61 > > > > -- > Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list > Fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list -- Regards Gerold Kassube Fedora Ambassador in Deutschland / Germany Schweiz / Switzerland FAS-Number: 10 Email: GeroldKa at fedoraproject.org 1024D/F33128B9 4ABC A903 F1F4 D9CC C422 AACA EDF1 DF42 F331 28B9 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

(08:15:41 PM) inode0: I don't think we have any details about how to do that quite yet, but we should be able to (08:15:51 PM) djf_jeff: and I think having a strong Fedora presence at the October 20 event in Quebec is really a must (08:16:21 PM) inode0: I believe the OLF box is headed to Pennsylvania next and that is only 3 days before jit (08:16:46 PM) Grantbow_: http://www.ohiolinux.org/ is Sept 25-27 in Columbus, OH.

(08:18:58 PM) inode0: pester us about it so we don't slack too much (08:19:16 PM) djf_jeff: what I really need is banners and media, this is the more important stuff, the laptop and olpc is not necessary for the jit I think (08:20:04 PM) inode0: ok, we can certainly ship media up and perhaps the new banners used at the summit (08:20:22 PM) inode0: and other schwag (08:20:41 PM) djf_jeff: inode0: that would be really appreciated (08:20:57 PM) inode0: which brings me to a point later in the agenda that I think makes sense to talk about now (08:21:11 PM) inode0: Facilitating distribution of ambassador resources in Canada (08:21:40 PM) inode0: djf_jeff as I understand it is willing to be the distribution person in Canada for FAmNA (08:22:01 PM) ***Grantbow_ cheers (08:22:01 PM) lcafiero: +1 djf_jeff (08:22:11 PM) djf_jeff: yeah, I would be happy to help with that (08:22:34 PM) inode0: we need to figure whether and how to get that set up but I really think we should (08:23:11 PM) inode0: so the next run of media automatically includes shipping a pile up to djf_jeff (as well as any new schwag produced) (08:23:22 PM) djf_jeff: do I need to talk with ke4qqq about this?

(08:39:41 PM) inode0: 20K (08:39:47 PM) inode0: for Q3 (08:39:47 PM) ***lcafiero waves his hand furiously (08:40:21 PM) inode0: in addition to what is listed as spent in NA in Q3 there is about $1800 for splatter t-shirts that is MIA (08:41:21 PM) inode0: and media needs to be produced in late Q3 (08:41:44 PM) inode0: and we committed to sponsoring UTOSC (08:41:48 PM) VileGent: and the table for OLF is not there nor is the UTOSC sponsorship (08:41:57 PM) lcafiero: when you say MIA, do you mean it's not listed or it's actually missing? (08:42:04 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: that's not going to end up being early Q4 (media) ? (08:42:19 PM) inode0: I mean we have given the shirts away and there is no accounting of paying for them (08:42:35 PM) lcafiero: Oh. (08:42:44 PM) Grantbow_: must not cost anything, lol (08:43:07 PM) lcafiero: heh. But seriously, is it just a matter of the wiki not being updated in a timely manner? (08:43:08 PM) inode0: if we hit nov. 10 I think it will be Q3 and Q4 money (08:43:50 PM) inode0: well, my point which I'm slowly arriving at is that I don't think we'll have much money to spend the rest of this year (08:44:06 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: we probably need a standby budget item to spend on in case F12 gets delayed and the media costs hit in Q4... (08:44:35 PM) lcafiero: Am I reading the comm arch wiki right and that there's $27,000 or so left for the rest of the quarter? (08:44:39 PM) inode0: we can prepay part of the media if there is slip (08:44:49 PM) StabbyMc: cool. (08:45:11 PM) inode0: yes, but that isn't the ambassador budget (08:45:21 PM) VileGent: StabbyMc, but that is worldwide (08:45:30 PM) Grantbow_: another backup plan is some artwork for people to print and fold when they burn their own CD. (08:45:51 PM) inode0: we along with the rest of the world fall into the "Regional support" line (08:47:03 PM) lcafiero: understood, inode0 -- but certainly some of what is needed falls under "public, Fedora-related activities is detailed here" as the wiki says (08:48:00 PM) inode0: yes, all of that is spent on Fedora ... just not ambassador stuff :) (08:48:43 PM) ***inode0 waves hands, only one person knows (08:49:13 PM) lcafiero: understood, but will yield and not confuse things by asking a plethora of questions (08:49:21 PM) inode0: So we wait for instruction, but I think we should be thinking about being a bit more frugal in the short term (08:49:34 PM) inode0: except move media as fast as you can (08:49:54 PM) lcafiero: right -- must have media (could we get less DVD and more Live CDs?) (08:50:28 PM) crossbytes: +1 lcafiero (08:50:32 PM) inode0: are you saying the live CDs moved faster than the DVDs? (08:50:38 PM) lcafiero: Yes (08:50:42 PM) Grantbow_: lots (08:50:43 PM) smeyer: wow (08:50:45 PM) crossbytes: yes I agree (08:50:49 PM) inode0: opposite at the Summit (08:51:03 PM) inode0: but everyone got the bootable image on a USB stick too (08:51:18 PM) Grantbow_: target audience matters - newbies don't want to install, just try it out (08:51:39 PM) jay4rest: true (08:51:44 PM) crossbytes: U got it Grantbow (08:51:45 PM) inode0: well we have both in our audience (08:51:46 PM) lcafiero: that's another option -- usb installs -- we did that at OSCON (08:51:52 PM) lcafiero: (because we didn't have media) (08:51:59 PM) inode0: and producing a small amount of any one kind is very expensive (08:52:09 PM) Grantbow_: inode0: of course (08:52:31 PM) inode0: I think we only produced 2200 DVDs for F11? (08:52:45 PM) VileGent: f12 that number can be smaller (08:53:06 PM) VileGent: cause we will not have big events like OLF and such (08:53:14 PM) inode0: depends on the cost discount we lose by making it smaller I think (08:53:34 PM) inode0: DVDs could just go away if we want them to until the live media turns into DVDs (08:53:36 PM) jay4rest: live CD's I think are best (08:53:43 PM) lcafiero: Well, maybe those of us who are sending out the kits, etc., can assess in the next few weeks how many DVDs we have left over and go from there (08:53:58 PM) lcafiero: true that, inode0 (08:54:26 PM) inode0: the liveCDs are cheaper too, let's give that some thought (08:54:34 PM) Grantbow_: +1 (08:54:52 PM) inode0: I suggested investigating making double sided DVDs as well (08:54:52 PM) jay4rest: everyone can use them too (08:55:16 PM) inode0: perhaps we can make a smaller number of those which would be arch independent (08:56:02 PM) inode0: installing is a better experience for most people from the DVDs still (08:56:14 PM) lcafiero: We should probably discuss this on f-a-l (08:56:35 PM) inode0: ok (08:56:41 PM) ***inode0 can take a hint (08:56:52 PM) crossbytes: I agree since already talking about LIVE DVD's (08:56:54 PM) ***lcafiero is not hinting, just suggesting (08:57:11 PM) ***inode0 is all hand waved out on the budget (08:57:40 PM) inode0: task list ... we should start using that (08:57:49 PM) lcafiero: I have one more thing: UTOSC sponsorship? (08:57:59 PM) inode0: what about it? (08:58:16 PM) lcafiero: Do we need to resolve this or has it already been approved? (08:58:39 PM) ***lcafiero doesn't see it on the ambassador budget or comm arch wiki. (08:58:41 PM) inode0: approved, someone will send someone else the agreed upon amount of money at some point :) (08:58:49 PM) lcafiero: OK, got it. Thanks. (08:59:01 PM) ***lcafiero stops waving hand and sits down (08:59:04 PM) inode0: My recollection is that we agreed to sponsor the event at $700 (08:59:36 PM) lcafiero: Sounds right, but herlo would know for sure. (08:59:42 PM) inode0: that was going to come after the budget dust settled (09:00:28 PM) inode0: VileGent reminded me the other that we had talked about producing nice logo stickers (09:00:53 PM) inode0: I think that is one thing that would be great to have on the task list even without an owner just to remind us (09:01:02 PM) lcafiero: +1 (09:01:16 PM) inode0: task/wish list :) (09:01:18 PM) ***Grantbow_ runs to SF for a LUG meeting - cya later.

My question is (more or less) like this, "Are we allowed to spend a portion of our event budget on equipment?" I'm thinking to get our local group a cheap inkjet printer to handle our desktop printing needs like sticker labels/brochures/flyers/signages for an upcoming event - SFD2009[1]. Now what prompted me to pop the question? - We were not able to get the services of a CD/DVD replicator because of time and cost constraints. The genius in me decided to produce the LiveCDs/DVDs on our own so we can have them ready before the event. The blanks were quite inexpensive and we're left with some surplus on the original item budget - around Php 3500 [2]. The production line consists of my personal DVD-writer and my brother who volunteered. - Looking at the blanks, I figured sticker labels will make them better looking (though still not as professional as the ones made by replicating services) and that we could also use some flyers/brochures/signages. We actually have two options - (1) to get a printer do them for us or (2) to do-it-on-our-own-way. - For some stroke of luck, I don't own a printer and I'm a little bit squeamish using our office printer for something like this. If a decision for a printer purchase is reached for this event, I'll be its custodian until someone can take over for me. This is an obvious conflict of interest on my part so I posed the question to Paul (as Fedora Project Leader) and ultimately to this list. To add to the first question - has anybody been on the same situation I'm now in? Any advice?

Any advice? The brazilian guys have bought a CD/DVD burner (no idea how you call it, it's a machine that can burn automatically thousands of CDs/DVDs and even print the nice graphics on the top face). So I'd say, yes, we're allowed, and yes, someone has already done it :) But Rodrigo might provide better input on this. ---------- Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) From david at gnsa.us Wed Sep 16 16:41:01 2009 From: david at gnsa.us (David Nalley) Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:41:01 -0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] Equipment Purchase - Possible Conflict of Interest In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 12:33 PM, Heherson Pagcaliwagan wrote: > I just threw Paul Frields a curve ball earlier this evening and he wisely > pointed me to ask the list so everybody can refer to it back later.

I am a bit squeamish about inkjet printers, they tend to have a very high consumables cost in the long term. I'd personally feel more comfortable with a color laser printer, that's likely 2 or 3 times the cost of an inkjet but provides better quality and better costs savings long term. What kind of volume do you anticipate pushing through this unit?? How man CDs, stickers, etc? How large of an area are you willing to supply stickers/media/etc for? Write up a bit more detail including some of those things so that we can better weigh it, though I don't have much of an objection in principle.

Any advice? You sincerity over this topic answer for itself :) If you respect the destination of the printer, there won't be problems. This isn't the first case that someone is responsible for a "shared" tool for Fedora: it happened with OLPCs, with CD burned (as Mathieu suggested), so you aren't doing something against morality. Naturally, as something owned by the community, you should be able to make it available to all the members that want to use it for Fedora activity, but I'm sure you just now this. For the printest, following David's questions, is this something that APAC has just decided to buy or it's just aproposal? Thank you to have shared with the whole community your doubts and ideas!

As people have already pointed out, we have a precedent for spending event budget on equipment when necessary, especially if that equipment will be re-usable at other events (like the duplicator we bought for LATAM). As long as people are being transparent, and checking when they have questions (like you did), I see no problem with it. In the specific case, given that your event is (a) next week and (b) the event budget really wasn't very much, I see no problem with doing what needs to be done in order for you to make your event successful. I think you deserve a ton of credit for bringing the question up, because it shows that you are a thoughtful and considerate guy.

I agree on all points. I figured this was worthwhile to have documented, and maybe someone will be so kind as to find the right place in the Ambassadors or Events area on the wiki to make it more visibly. The point of event funding is always to grow Fedora awareness and hopefully community as a result. If an inkjet printer is required, and helps an Ambassador achieve goals beyond just the one event, it should be fine as long as that purchase is disclosed transparently.

I've marked Fedora as my "organization", which should also be printed in the name tag they give the participants, but there won't be a booth or anything fancy like that. I've been involved in Fedora translation and development since 2006, so I think I have quite a clear view on the project and its goals, in case someone is interested in talking about Fedora. Of course, if some other Fedora contributors know they'll be there, please let me know and we could maybe meet up. -- Ville-Pekka Vainio From foxhaund at gmail.com Fri Sep 18 11:12:19 2009 From: foxhaund at gmail.com (Foxhaund) Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:12:19 +0400 Subject: [Ambassadors] Russian Fedora Message-ID: <0014E611-1880-4BBC-A53A-A1B013B4785E@gmail.com> Hello everybody!

Now it's necessary that Release Events owner add their event in that [2] page (and sure adding their event in /wiki/FedoraEvents [3] page too). 3) Another ticket was open in Design TRAC [4] asking to create a log (or give the general design for fedora wiki's logo) and to review the layout of the page in order to help people find their local event. 4) During last FAmSCo meeting we discussed about budget availability and there wouldn't be problem, just follow the same reimbursement guidelines [5] and conditions we follow for the other events.

For example, we have fedoraforums.org for international/english support, most local communities have their own local website (for example fedora-fr.org for french-speaking users). We also have several IRC channels on Freenode (#fedora for international/english help,#fedora-fr for french-speaking users, etc...). Finally, we have documentation (docs.fedoraproject.org), and local communities have their own documentations in their own language as well. What I mean is that what you're asking for already exists.

I think it is good, even in marketing, to be as biased as possible in favor of solutions that are consistent with our core values. There may be good reasons to use twitter, but I don't think I've heard any yet that I find convincing. And even if we do choose to use twitter I sort of would expect some promotion of alternatives more akin to us philosophically.

I will followup if I find time. The talking points were discussed here on the list and in Marketing meetings as needing to have impact for lay press. The additional points you added either don't have that quality, in that they're not easily summarized in a short sentence, or are not points on which a speaker would want to concentrate. ABRT is a great feature, for example, but you don't want to give informational points that overemphasize crashes or other non-performance. I can go through those one by one if needed here, but the idea should not be to make this list longer, because then it is no longer a crisp set of talking points; it's a substitute release overview. We do not need to blur those lines or the document gets far less useful overall. Just for point of reference, we froze the talking points list back in August, after list and meeting conversation that happened throughout July and August: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2009-August/msg00044.html -- Paul W.

To do > that, you need to cover all the angles. I absolutely agree. To not create a social network dependent infrastructure, we are working creating, with the tools fedora give us, a Fedora Events feed (the way is still long but sure we will update you as soon as we have good news, volunteers are welcome) that could be used (with some scripts/APIs) in the many social netoworks. If you don't like twitter and use identi.ca, it could be interesting to offer the same informations (both from one root). I think if we let people know that Fedora is something more than an Operating System (we are a Community), they will, at least, give a try to Fedora.

I have to agree. It would be nice if we could market effectively using only FLOSS tools talking to AGPL services. But the vast majority of people out there waiting to be freed don't use free services. I think we can do best in marketing by spreading word on those services, and once we have people's attention, showing them the equal or superior solutions found in FLOSSdom. There's nothing wrong with preaching to the choir per se, but it's not an effective method of spreading Fedora in new directions. -- Paul W.

Thanks for the reminder - we will be working on press kits starting in a few weeks. Had to get the slogan and the talking points done first, though. ;) Cool, when those appear, then please send a yo ho and I would like to look and see this. :) > (more feedback on talking points? What I think / thought was cool stuff in the latest release of Fedora...Dracut, GRUB with ext4, and IPV6. I read about the Dracut product and I have been trying that out. At this time, I am not very impressed with Dracut. After conducting about eight or so kernel updates on my variety of systems, Dracut is slow about 20+ minutes in order to invoke the kernel update. Afterward, doing kernel updates, I receive the ABRT indicating I had a kernel failure...sort of a false negative if you can see my mind. So I am sort of actually happy that Dracut is not in the list. :) As a future RHEL6 system administrator, an important aspect to be aware of in F12 is IPV6 support as well as GRUB with ext4. :) > how can we make these more useful to you? If I was not familiar with a talking point, then "help me" to be able to convey the content. The use of effective presentations which have been done in either video/sound and/or podcast will help will doing the presentation of material which I may not have first hand experience on. My thought is if others have presented or created content on this, then give me a URL to review so I may integrate their content into my "speech." :) > I would be particularly interested in what the "user" talking points sound like to a non-technical person - do they make sense? I think that for both a user as well as a system administrator, the XZ payload content using the LZMA format, is right on the money. :) In the user section for PackageKit, does not do it for me as a user. I am not excited by the content. The PackageKit content is a little beyond my technical understanding as a user.

I will followup if I find time. Hello Paul, Thank you for your post. :) > The talking points were discussed here on the list and in Marketing meetings as needing to have impact for lay press. The additional points you added either don't have that quality, in that they're not easily summarized in a short sentence, or are not points on which a speaker would want to concentrate. ABRT is a great feature, for example, but you don't want to give informational points that overemphasize crashes or other non-performance. +1 on your statement. Since August 25th, I have done about 24 or so kernel updates and afterward...ABRT on my F12 Alpha systems and subsystems. Great function ABRT is but not be listed. :) > I can go through those one by one if needed here, but the idea should not be to make this list longer, because then it is no longer a crisp set of talking points; it's a substitute release overview.

Message-ID: <3A31A5EB-2D4B-4DE3-904E-1CA7958D47AC@nerdshack.com> Hi all, I picked up a Macbook Pro a few weeks ago. I had been using a compaq laptop for about three years and have been using fedora from the moment I bought it. So I had fairly become comfortable with the system and installation did not seem to be a problem at all. Every thing seemed to be fine. But now with the latest hardware, there seems to be so much of problem. Its been two and a half weeks since I bought the laptop. I have tried installing the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Fedora 11 and the same on Fedora 12. Updated each time and got the nvidia drivers detected and the touchpad worked. But all these times I just could not decrease the brightness. And the brightness was set so high that if I worked for more than ten minutes I would end up with a head ache. I spent half my time googling and looking for answers in forums. I decided to try ubuntu. And their documentation was simply brilliant and organized. I managed to get almost every thing working following their instructions. Here is the link , have a look at it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro At the same time I went through our web site on Macbooks : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraOnMactel It is so much outdated. I still have not figured it out and Im jumping around from Mac and Ubuntu. I use Fedora a lot and am pretty comfortable with it. Imagine the newbies and shifts from other distributions. I do know Ubuntu has a big user base, but ours is growing. We don't have an official forum. The fedora forums is a great place, and they are doing a brilliant job, but is still not the official forum. I do realize that the documentation group is doing a lot of work. But is there a simple method where a normal person can feed his thoughts and then the documentation people can put it into the docs because many are not that keen in joining the Fedora Docs project but would like to share their knowledge. The best place for me to start would be to join the docs project and help in any possible way I can. But is there something more I could do? And Is there a way that where we could have users submit their installation steps and solved problems so that it would be a repository for others.

On the docs group mailing-list ? On their blog, aggregated to the planet ? You do realize that you are asking about improving the documentation on the ambassadors mailing list ? Tristan said it earlier today, this is off-topic for this list. As a Fedora representative, you should know better than anyone where are the appropriate channels, if only to be able to direct users/contributors to them. ;) For the rest of your questions: > ? ? ? ?The best place for me to start would be to join the docs project and > help in any possible way I can.

If you want to improve the docs, I can't see how to better do that than by actually writing the docs (thus joining the docs group ;). About the ? users recipes ?, I don't think that's an appropriate answers. When something isn't obvious or doesn't work out of box, we shouldn't encourage users to spread homebrewed (and often half-baked) tutorial. Instead, those issues should be treated as bugs, reported, and then fixed. Sure it might take more time, but once it is fixed, no one needs to search in a ? user recipes repository ?. Also, if everyone spends his time working around the issues, the developers might never know about those issues. That's one more reason to treat them as bugs. So for your typical case, if brightness doesn't work: - first, search if the bug is known - if not, report it Then only, start looking at ways to work around it. If you can find one, add it to the bug report, that might help the devs to fix it once and for all, and that will provide you some comfort in the meantime.

Linkedin has a feature where you can add everyone on your mailing list, which in the first place is a bad idea but, alas, something some people who should know better consistently do. Needless to say, you don't want to do that because addresses like fedora-ambassadors-list at redhat.com becomes an "invitee." Assuming this is an honest mistake and not something malicious, thanks Tristan for reminding everyone about the list rules, and for those using social networking sites, be careful about who you add. 51 and foggy (the weather, not me), Larry Cafiero On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 6:18 AM, Tristan Santore < tristan.santore at internexusconnect.net> wrote: > Dear All, > another reminder, that anything but ambassadors issues/queries are > off-topic here.

I agree with your thoughts Larry. We have to make a distinction between Spam/Flame and carelessness: I know the effect is the same (if no worse, especially if you are following a lot of lists) but we can't use enforcing policy.

There are two different type of layouts and contents in F12_release_events and FedoraEvents: while the former is aimed to be used with the public (add it in public announcements, making it a reference point for the world), the former is for budget/event administration issues (community only). That's why the 2 pages looks different: people (end-user, the world) will find simple to seek for their release event with F12 page. I don't know if this could answer your question.

If I'm not wrong this is part of the new convention adopted by Fedora to use a natural language title. For Release Events / Release Parties naming: we used these names alternatively, this time I started the thread with events and I thought it would be better to use one name (moreover events can contain more initiative, and party is too much associated with install parties). Naturally if you prefer to call your event F12 Release Party feel free to do this (in /wiki/F12_release_events and, for management reason, in /wiki/FedoraEvents).

Not so new, but yes, we should be using natural language titles.

It was organized by local user groups of Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu, in cooperation with the University local user group, and all under the flag on Nicaraguan GNU/Linux User Group (GUL-NIC by its acronymic in Spanish). The event expanded from 8:00 am to 5:00pm with more that 500 people officially registered. But as there were some areas with free access, many people didn?t registered. Along the day there conferences for beginners and advanced, workshops, install fest, demos, games and a booth area for LUGs, business and projects. The Fedora booth has many visitors, it was crowded most of the time. Visitors were able to try Fedora 11 using two machines with KDE and Gnome respectively. There were distributed for free 59 Install DVD, 25 KDE LiveCD, 25 Gnome LiveCD. There were Fedora temporary tattoos for people who attend to the Fedora booth. On sale there was Fedora T-shirts (30), Fedora 11 Games spin (11) and stickers on three different versions. On the install area, Fedora was number two in installs totaling 4 ( 3 netbooks and 1 desktop). There was evidence of the public?s interest toward our distro and also to participate within the local group. There was a flyer distributed containing information regarding Fedora, both as a Operative System as a Community. GUL-NIC also held a concert named Libera Tu Mouse 3 (Free Your Mouse 3), and it was organized by rockonola.com where several disc with free music were distributed (released under Creative Commons). Logos from the local groups organizing the event were projected, of course included Fedora. -- GNU/Linux User # 480 207 http://yaderv.info https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yaderv -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
