Let's get a proposal up, have some conversation, and eventually come to something that FAMSCO can +1 but that will be able to satisfy two sets of people: (1) The people who don't have any issue with the current FAMSCO elections -- we want to make sure that we don't create new problems. (2) The people who have suggestions about how we can improve things -- we want to make sure that we are addressing concerns. I also think that once we +1 something, we should also agree that we won't revisit the issue for 2 elections, so that we can make the reforms needed, and then move on to other things.

I think there is some miscommunication here. Ryan is asking about where Brand Fuel gets their caps made if anyone knows so we can contact that same company. He doesn't want to use Brand Fuel. Perhaps at this point there are enough other vendor suggestions to just head off in a new direction though.

Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, Chitlesh, as I'm just getting back from vacation. There were two main reasons for removing this paragraph, and neither was intended to mean that the FEL was somehow unimportant to Fedora, because it's not. Among other things, FEL is a great example of how Fedora's remixability can make a software product that's appropriate for a focused group of users. (More on that below.) The first reason was that the talking points are essentially a distillation of technical innovations that are part of the feature process. Those innovations appear in the Feature List. Some of those innovations are obviously desktop related. But many come from other areas that are important to large groups of users like system administrators and developers. Certainly we can't even come close to including everything that happens in the Fedora distribution in the talking points. We have to pick a number of features that are (a) appealing to a large class of end-users, (b) often created from scratch by Fedora contributors, perhaps directly upstream, and (c) can be easily explained in simple terms to the lay press, by everyone from the FPL (me) to any Ambassador who's talking about Fedora in front of a group. For maximum press impact, we need a short list, consistent from interview to interview, and somewhat differentiating where possible. That way, our talking points can be put in proper context by a journalist who is likely very busy and may not understand the many facets of the Fedora Project as intimately as we do. People like Joe Brockmeier (of openSUSE fame) has spoken eloquently on this subject, as a current community manager and himself an experienced journalist and writer. The easier we make a journalist's job, the more effective our coverage gets; the more esoteric the information we provide, the harder we make their job, and thus the less effective our press coverage becomes. Now in the past, we *have* noted the emergence of new and exciting spins during a release, as we did for FEL when it was created, for the early inclusion of KDE 4 in the KDE spin, and for the applicance OS spin when it debuted. I also noted a coming-soon Moblin spin during the Fedora 12 release during a couple interviews. We'll continue to do that in the foreseeable future. While not every spin creation automatically becomes a talking point, it makes a good example of the *global* talking point of Fedora's remixability and redistributability. Those Fedora features are definitely of interest to people who want to seek out a different direction from the default distribution. Specific spins might not be able to fit easily into the framework I describe above, but we can and should continue to promote the remixability of Fedora globally in every release. After all, that aspect of the Fedora distribution is a direct result of the foundation of Freedom which the project embraces. And as was pointed out here, spins should avail themselves of the new content areas on spins.fedoraproject.org to point out improvements and changes. The site was designed specifically to make it possible for spin owners/SIGs to change content whenever necessary, such as for a new release. The Marketing team can make a point of promoting that central site for people who are looking for something outside the default spin (see below). The second reason was that the talking points were set during a series of Marketing meetings and email threads on that list in August (and possibly September?). They were left open for some time to accommodate additions and then were eventually closed, so we would have time to use the Talking Points to generate the variety of other media that the Marketing team produces such as the one page release notes, information for the press, and so on. I removed other material that was placed on the page late as well for this reason. Hopefully this helps clear up some confusion on the talking points. In the future, I think we could avoid some confusion by better publicizing the process of building the talking points, and by putting an admonition on the talking points page once it's finalized and inviting questions on the fedora-marketing-list where we can resolve them. As I mentioned above, we should also think about adding an "every release" bullet in the one-page release notes for each release, noting that the spins.fp.o site makes other spins available. I welcome suggestions for how we can continue to keep the talking points tightly focused and ensure that spin owners are also able to build energy around the work they do in the Fedora Project. -- Paul W.

I want the discussion of matters of timing to be less specific so that scheduling the general elections can be done smoothly without worrying about the specific details of X has to he 2 days before Y for the FAmSCo election and so on. I propose that we keep nominations on the wiki in the order they were made and I reworded a couple of things without changing any substance. If there are any questions please feel free to ask.

I copied this paragraph from wiki: "Candidates must self-nominate before the close of the announced nomination period by appending their information into the wiki (Fedora account, email and irc nick, statement of past contributions and what they hope to accomplish while a member of FAmSCo) after any existing nominations." I may add at the end: "Edition to the self nomination details will be close at the same time that nomination period ends" This is to avoid some one to wrote only his or her name just before closing, and later wrote a statement. This is just my opinion. I can understand that this may sound trivial to others and therefore not taken into account. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217 From fabio.olive at gmail.com Mon Jan 4 22:32:01 2010 From: fabio.olive at gmail.com (Fabio Olive Leite) Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 20:32:01 -0200 Subject: [Ambassadors] Food for thought.

(1) The next Fedora Ambassadors Training session in Fedora Classroom will be on Thursday at 1500 UTC. See a separate emali (2) 10,000 case badges have been ordered, which we'll be sharing with all parts of the world. I'll bring a bunch with me to FOSDEM and then distribute them among EMEA Ambassadors, and I'll mail some to other parts of the world as well. (3) Planning continues for the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events_FAD_2010 This FAD is not meant to be the place where specific events are planned, but rather it's an opportunity to make sure that all the processes around events, budget, reimbursements, etc. are clear and up to date, for all regions of the world. At least, that's my goal for the event. Mel Chua is leading the organization of this event. Remote participation will definitely be possible via IRC and gobby, and I think that Ambassadors all over the world will be interested in the results. (3) Fedora 12 media in EMEA -- it looks like all of the shipments were made to folks in different areas. Further followup that is needed, now that the vacations are over: * Working with Sascha to figure out the plan for future media in EMEA, and allowing him to have more involvement with the production company. That's my responsibility to follow-up. * Making sure that we have media in the right places for upcoming events. FOSDEM and CLT, in particular. Joerg/Sascha/Frederic -- are we in good shape for those events? Do we have enough media for both, and a plan to get it to the event? (4) One of the things that is also on my TODO list is to get a wiki page written up that has the process for getting media produced in all regions of the world -- since we're probably going to be looking at new processes in both EMEA and NA, it makes sense to just write it all down in one place. --Max From fhornain at gmail.com Tue Jan 5 19:16:05 2010 From: fhornain at gmail.com (Frederic Hornain) Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 20:16:05 +0100 Subject: [Ambassadors] [FOSDEM'10] Mozilla/Fedora cooperation talk for FOSDEM'10 needed.

Now, we have three dev room to share with other distributions. So that is why I was looking for speakers who can talk about subject which could interest other distributions. Now, the talk proposals deadline was yesterday. However, i received a call from Mozilla Foundation if we could be interested to do a talk together. *The idea behind that is to put special emphasis on collaborations between Fedora and other open source projects.* So it would be great if you could make a talk about what we could do to improve the collaboration between Mozilla and Fedora. In addition, it will be an innovation in comparison with iother distribution in we can do it in the Mozilla devroom. ;) So, in conclusion, if you accept the mission i would be really happy. Max and Paul are in cc, just to let them know.

The abstract for my talk is as follows: "How to get involved in an open source Linux operating system: Fedora "Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is built by people across the globe who work together as an open community that welcomes anyone to join. Mairin Duffy, an RPI CS alum from Red Hat, will talk about what makes Fedora different from other Linux-based operating systems and how you can get involved in Fedora." The official talk announcement and description is on the Rensselaer Center for Open Source website: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~moorthy/rcos/talksfall2009 The Rensselaer Center for Open Source (RCOS) funds RPI students for working on open source projects - and the talk will be taking place during an RCOS meeting. We already have two RPI students in the Fedora community, Rob Escriba and Ben Boeckel, but I'm hoping this will be a good chance to motivate more to join us :) BTW RPI is my alma mater :) I'm not sure how many will be attending yet; I'm waiting to hear back from my contact there on how many to expect.

This is awesome! How much of your content do you have together? Do you have a particular angle that you're going to pursue for your talk? Is there anything that we can do to assist you? Also, do you need any sort of swag? If so, you should coordinate w/ the NA Ambassadors to get your hands on some. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA#Get_SWAG I have a bunch of Fedora buttons, some of which I can mail you, separate from anything else. --Max From inode0 at gmail.com Tue Jan 5 21:33:05 2010 From: inode0 at gmail.com (inode0) Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 15:33:05 -0600 Subject: [Ambassadors] Event: RPI Center for Open Source talk about Fedora In-Reply-To: References: <1262721935.2186.115.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 3:21 PM, Max Spevack wrote: > On Tue, 5 Jan 2010, M?ir?n Duffy wrote: > >> I just wanted to shout out that I'll be giving a talk about Fedora at >> Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY on February 5.

What I'm talking about is sponsoring at some level as we do in other events. 02:22:33 also - does the FAD need funding 02:22:53 As far as the room goes, no. We have gotten the room on Friday. 02:23:03 food or other needs? 02:23:30 If I could finish the first of a couple of financial wildcards. 02:23:37 It might answer these questions. 02:23:48 ahhh, I apologize, please continue 02:23:57 No apology necessary. 02:24:05 I just don't type fast enough :-) 02:24:47 The $1000 is arbitrary -- we can sponsor at a lower level and use the funds for other things that vwbusguy and I have forgotten to budget 02:24:52 (mostly I forgot, but anyway) 02:25:27 not to mention helping out with travel for those presenting 02:26:04 Also, the second is that this is not final and needs tweaking and input from those attending and not would be welcome. 02:27:13 So that's about it for the moment -- and as vwbusguy said I went over some procedural stuff with Max in an e-mail today to which I am awaiting an answer. 02:27:49 Specifically, if -- and if so, how -- to perhaps utilize commarch funds. 02:27:56 who are the 4 rooms for - I only see three attendees listed 02:28:00 Questions. 02:28:07 Acutally, the list is not up to date. 02:28:46 It's quaid, VileGent (didn't forget you this time), herlo, jds2001, me, stickster (possibly), 02:28:57 and I think there may be someone I'm forgetting. 02:29:06 you're going ke4qqq? 02:29:24 tentatively yes, but being funded externally 02:29:28 Ah, got it. 02:30:59 But again, this is not final, and the Q4 budget closes at the end of Feb. From what I can see of the NA budget, there's only been $3500 of $8000 spent, if memory serves. 02:32:03 casebadges and clings aren't in that budget list - and it's ~3800 iirc 02:32:09 Deduct another $800 from that... 02:32:12 for Clings 02:32:14 plus t-shirts are supposed to be 02:32:15 but yeah - still should be able to accommodate that 02:32:22 of those listed above, quaid, herlo, jds2001 and I are presenting, and stickster could keynote. 02:32:31 could, he emphasizes. 02:32:56 Hmmm. OK.

Although Christopher Aillon probably will not be at FOSDEM to give a talk, as the maintainer for some Mozilla products in Fedora, I'd recommend that any speaker consult with him on the topic. One example of where we have collaborated above the level of packaging and development is with open video: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/2009/11/why-open-video-2/ Red Hat's "Monty" Montgomery worked directly with the Xiph Foundation and Mozilla on codec improvements to empower content creators worldwide, and the newencoder was featured early in Rawhide and in now in the Fedora 12 release. That's a valuable story that could use more exposure. Also, there's a video of Monty here: http://www.youtube.com/redhatvideos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K5z0Ff8Zis I know there are Ogg versions available but I haven't had a chance to locate them yet. I'll get back to the list with those URLs. -- Paul W.

These could be implemented at no cost to RHT/Fedora and could be done for fairly cheap (I think). Ok Idea #1 is a booklet that I have hacked up a [terrible] alpha quality version of http://dl.dropbox.com/u/194299/Fedora%20Booklet.tar.bz2 The idea is we make a quick intro guide to Free Software and the fedora project. I was thinking 8-12 pages printed on US Legal sized paper [8.5x14 (to allow for a nice full page to read from)] that was basically a subset of the wikipedia article on Free Software (so that it was neutral sounding) and most of the Overview wiki page. Yes I know its on-line so why print it, well because people are lazy. Wiki's are great because they have a lot of information. Wiki's are also a PITA because they have a lot of information :) Another thing that could be done with this is as you are stapling it you could take a paper cd/dvd sleeve and add it to the mix, that way there was one thing to hand people. Idea #2 is an "Ambassadors Field Guide" basically the same idea but would have a list of FAQ's and answers, a near total list of contacts for every sub project (I know this isn't totally feasible but I can dream can't I), the talking points for $currentRealease and $nextRealease, and anything else we can come up with that would be helpful to have in hand when we are talking to people. I think Idea #2 is absolutely suited to the DIY 'zine format because if you destroy it carting it around in your back pocket you can just print another one. I know that anyone person could make both of these happen but I was hoping to pool the knowledge of others and hopefully get the art team involved so these could be a nice looking as possible. -- Justin "threethirty" O'Brien Fedora Ambassador threethirty at fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Threethirty threethirty on freenode.net @threethirty - twitter/identi.ca/jaiku Phone: (765) 688-0723 From etank at fedoraproject.org Thu Jan 7 18:37:16 2010 From: etank at fedoraproject.org (Eric Lake) Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 13:37:16 -0500 Subject: [Ambassadors] DIY booklets for better info delivery In-Reply-To: <1262888117.6731.25.camel@Emu> References: <1262721935.2186.115.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1262888117.6731.25.camel@Emu> Message-ID: <15c903071001071037s70c0dcdbwf833717e984a93bf@mail.gmail.com> On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 1:15 PM, Justin O'Brien wrote: > Howdy all: > > I had this crazy idea of taking the idea of a 'zine and making it a > useful tool for Ambassadors [and anyone else for that matter but I'm an > Ambassador and short sighted :)].

The advantage of more people from Fedora around a table is that we will be able to cover more topics (from packaging over artwork to translation) and a strong presence there can strength the Fedora Project in Switzerland. If you will be there and want to give a hand at the booth, please add yourself to the list of the Booth personal [2].
