[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Multimedia contest
by Alex 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

Hey people, I had some time to think during my vacation, and here's the idea I got: Have Fedora enthusiasts around the world produce short videos in media formats that Fedora supports (including Flash, maybe) and submit them to a panel of judges and we will post the best ones on fedora.redhat.com and on wiki, and give the winner a set of schwag (a t-shirt or two, and whatever new schwag we will have). If you feel like it is worth pursuing, I will go ahead and draft copy for the contest and we can call the contest to go with the new release, or to go with FUDCon in Boston, or something else. Let me know what you think, a -- Check out the new content on Fedora Project page! http://fedoraproject.org

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] fedora kids
by Rajesh Ranjan 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

Hi All, Yesterday when I went with new fedora T-shirt to my home, my three yrs old son started crying that he also need a T-shirt like this. He wept for at least half an hour and only stopped when I told that I will make this T-shirt of his size. He told me that all the good things I am only buying for myself. After this episode I thought it won't be bad if we promote our Fedora in the Nursery-Playgroup kids community. We can contact schools and there we can say also Tux is the real friend of kids. Tux loves kids! Fedora kids community! This way we can make impression on several new groups. This is just an idea erupting after my son started crying and his poor father was unable to do anything for him :-). Regards, Rajesh Ranjan

I believe Warren will provide his prenstation so they can post on their site and our site. 1.4 Fedora Day (Feb 25, 2006) Owner - ThijsHulshof ThijsHulshof not here to report on Fedora Day 1.5 FOSDEM (Feb 25-26, 2006) Onwer - FredericHornain FredericHornain not present 1.6 Jornada Software Libre y Aplicaciones (Mar 13-16, 2006) Owner - JoseTarazona JoseTarazona not present tchung received email from JoseTarazona via list: "Conferences about research projects, topics about open source sofware and telecomunications, ideas, experiences and results from projects around the country in many univesities."

The total cost for me to get there and participate makes it, IMHO, not worth bothering with.

I tried to launch discussions in the list. But nothing. I feel no one is interested to work it out tchung thought the owner of Fedora Education Project is interested William: ChitleshGoorah, i'm new here but I could help you in France ... ChitleshGoorah has scheduled a meeting with the directory of his Uni to launch it here in Strasbourg tchung: ChitleshGoorah, if you send me some introduction of your project, I'll post in my next FWN. 3 Schwag pipeline - Owner - AlexMaier We are happy to report our Steering Committe is making some progress in this issue Alex will give us update in the next meeting 4 Funding for attendance - Owner - AlexMaier Alex will report at the next meeting 5 ChitleshGoorah: Does the Steering Commitee (famsco) discuss among themselves or on the list? tchung: Yes, FAMSCO has a list called famsco-list(a)redhat.com. It is private list. If you have any request or suggestion to FAMSCO, please email me and I'll forward to them. :) nman64: Or, post to the Ambassador list, as all SC members watch it. 6 Misc 6.1 tchung won't include FreeMedia in the Schedule until he has a more sold idea and more participants 6.2 EVERYBODY: Note that we cannot perform any fundraising activities at this time and so we cannot sell anything at events! 6.3 Getting your own Fedora Project Email address is important for All Fedora Ambassadors http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem solartrooper: do I have to use GPG for getting an account? nman64: Yes, you'll have to have a GPG key to get the account set up. 7 Presentations for Ambassadors We need to provide Ambassadors with some slide decks for various presentations. We should probably aggregate the ones we already have and make them available. We should also figure out our policy for licensing these presentations! tchung thought Rahul was working on *Official* or *Standard* slides for us We'll need contributors to complete the CLA (as all Ambassadors should), and will probably be licensing them using the OPL without stipulations. 8 Standard Ambassadors kit this is either already done or Greg is still working it :) The content of the kits is just about finalized, but production and distribution will still take time. Greg will be back to give us update on Standard Ambassadors kit in the next meeting At present, it looks unlikely that shirts will be part of the standard kit, but will be available for < $10 USD to Ambassadors. The *current* plan is to include reasonable quantities of install DVDs. We're having to watch production costs, so that really isn't feasible right now. Next meeting: 2006-02-16 1400 UTC

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] FedoraEvents Report - SCALE 4X
by Thomas Chung 13 Feb '06

13 Feb '06

Hi All, * SCALE: Fedora Booth at Southern California Linux Expo The 4th Annual Southern California Linux Expo (http://socallinuxexpo.org) also known as SCALE 4X was a successful event for Linux Community. According to SCALE-announce mailing list, Over 700 people came in the first day alone, and as a result the Expo floor was busy and all four speaker tracks were well attended. Thomas Chung, Eric Hattemer and Warren Togami were present at the Fedora Booth for two days (Feb 11-12) to answer any question on Fedora Project as well as distributing Fedora Project Overview Handouts, Fedora Core 4 DVDs and Fedora Project T-Shirts. * SCALE: Fedora Presentation at Southern California Linux Expo Warren Togami also gave a talk on what Fedora is about, why it is important to the future of Open Source Software, and how you can get involved. The presentation slides are available in Fedora Presentations page. Here is a behind-the-story. It was only a few days before the event opening day, when I noticed one of speakers canceled the talk so I contacted SCALE to find out if we can use the spot for Fedora Project. Within minutes, SCALE responded and Warren accepted the invitation. Since it was added in the last minute, his talk information was not included in the printed schedule but the online schedule was updated in time and his talk was announced well before his presentation. Also it was mentioned numerous time in the Fedora Booth by the Fedora Representatives. You can find few pictures in the latest issue of FWN and my Blog. :) * http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Fedora_Weekly_News_Issue_33 * http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Editor%27s_Blog_2006-02-13 Cheers! -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] suggestions for an ambassador newbie.
by Michael J. Knox 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

Hi everyone. I have been kind of idle, reading all the emails and taking in what others are doing/suggesting. I would like to ask for some advice. I live in New Zealand, in a town called Hamilton (or the Waikato). In general, New Zealand has very few trade shows or events that one would normally have a stall at etc. I do have a local LUG which I am a member of, however, I doubt they would appreciate a Fedora talk every month (considering the huge number of debian dev's that reside in the LUG). So, my question is, what can someone, in a small area, with little IT related shows/events etc do as an ambassador? At the moment, I try to post to the LUG's mailing list when Fedora related news is made, things like Fedora reloaded podcasts etc etc. I am all ears and keen for suggestions. Thanks! Michael

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] About Promotion of fedora in universities
by Aks 11 Feb '06

11 Feb '06

Dear Sankarshan, Thankyou for your advice. It's with prior consent of the Department of Computer Sciene & Engg, and its faculties members, we have installed linux (fedora, redhat & ubuntu) in our computer lab, as well as library. The whole department is in support of us. Moreover, we also organise short sessions for introducing fedora and redhat to the students. We have kept different distros of linux to let students experience the differece, benefits and demerits of the different distros. Hence creating a compartive evaluation system just to judge Fedora. We still have some of the windows machines, and it is pleasing to see conscious students especially 3rd and 4th year students seldom use windows machines, and when asked, they appreciated the freedom in programming pradigm they found on linux system while working with their projects. And that's all to let us keep working. Moreover, I look forward for your suggestions in coming time as well. Thank you Regards Abhishek Singh

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] About Fedora Promotion in Universities/Schools
by Aks 11 Feb '06

11 Feb '06

Dear All, Sorry for being inactive for a long time; it was because I was having my semester examinations. About promoting Fedora in Nepal, I thought of universities and schools as the starters and ideal implementation centres. Hence I planned to first implement in my own university(Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, Nepal); as a result of which we are running Fedora Core and Red Hat on our computer laboratory at the university. Moreover, we have already organized training sessions to facililate Windows users to work on Fedora so as to promote "Migration to Linux". In the same way, I'm planning to propose other universities and colleges of the nation to adopt Fedora, and organize necessary events (may be training sessions, Seminars, Demonstration Classes etc). I also like the idea of availing Fedora at the library. That will really help students move towards Fedora (Live CDs + User Guide could be a good option). I'm seeking for opinions and suggestions of promoting Fedora in a country like Nepal (Maybe some of the Indian Ambassadors could help me, as Nepal being their neighbour). Thankyou. Regards Abhishek Singh URL : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AbhishekSingh

10 Feb '06

**Please pass this around to anyone who might find this relevant** FUDCon Boston 2006 Call For Papers I would like to start out by thanking both the community and developers who have helped make Fedora such a huge success on so many different fronts. Riding on the success of the series of FUDCon events worldwide I am proud to announce that we will be holding FUDCon Boston 2006, taking it back to where it all began. The event will be graciously hosted by Boston University once again with sponsorship from BU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the BU Office of Information Technology, and this year, the BU School of Management. The date for the event is Friday April 7th, the day following the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. We are looking for interesting topics and presentations covering a number areas. Talks should be focused on one of the 3 main tracks. Track 1 - User Track : Topics that deal with the user experience, desktop innovations, etc. Track 2 - Developer Track : Topics that deal with software development in the Fedora environment. Track 3 - Application Track : Either topics that deal with applications/uses of Fedora in other Open Source projects or topics that showcase a specific Open Source application. To be considered for presentation, abstracts should be submitted fudcon-cfp(a)fedoraproject.org by no later than Thursday February 23, at 11:59pm. We welcome submission from both developers and community members alike, new and old. After the review process, notifications will go out on Thursday March 2nd followed by a full schedule for FUDCon Boston 2006 and official announcement on Monday March 6th. Thanks.

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Special request: screenshots of FC5t2 desktop
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

All, There's a magazine called GCN (Government Computer News) in the US, and they're trying to do a nice article on Fedora Core 5's upcoming desktop -- and how much more usable it is than it's ever been. The author has written the article already basically, and it's quite favorable -- but she needs good screenshots. So I need your help! I think we need a screenshot that shows off: * An evolution window * A firefox window * Some notes on the screen with tomboy * Enough of the background showing so you can tell it's FC5 Maybe this is actually multiple screenshots, but this is the general idea. We can also use these for fp.o, if we don't have them there already. Thanks for any help that anyone can give. --g --------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Foundation || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors ---------------------------------------------------------------

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Draft: Marketing Wiki Page
by Chitlesh GOORAH 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

Hello Everyone, Since Ive redesigned the Layout of Kadischi's wiki page (though not completed yet) previously, some examples: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi/FAQ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi/Development I got some suggestions to design a template. Following an IRC discussion with Rahul, last month, we came up with the idea of designing a template before the Fedora Core 5 Release. I did it now, at least a draft . Here it is : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChitleshGoorah/Marketing compare it with http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing do pop up you suggestions or comments, whatever. I've read before somewhere I guess Barz wrote that the SC will be working out a template. I dont recall whether its a wiki template or not. Maybe this might become one of your drafts.

Dear Rahul, Alex, Greg and All, Unfortunately I won't be able to assist to the meeting today due work stuff. I just want to ask if there is someone who wants to give a videoconference in this event. This is mainly for University students. Also if there is someone who wants to know this beautiful country I can give assistance (including transportation and a warm place to stay: my home). I already have confirm my participation in this event and I'm getting my presentation ready (I plan to put a copy for your consideration too). I hope everything goes ok, thanks and I will try to get to the meeting today (even before it ends). Bye, Jose G. Tarazona Colombian Ambassador --------------------------------- Relax. Yahoo!

Re: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] Education
by Hornain Frederic 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Dear Rahul, Alex, Greg and All, Just to keep you in touch about "Fedora Education". Following my previous mails and as planned I have been contacted by Mr Richard Barbosa from Red Hat EMEA - rbarbosa - in order to explain what "Fedora Education is". So now, I have a contact at Red Hat for the "Red Hat Academy" and he has a contact for the "Fedora Education". We can work together in order to deploy Linux at School. BTW, I gave him Rahul, your email address. I think it should not be problem by the fact you are working for the same company, aren't you ? If you are students or If you want to join the Fedora Education feel free to fill the URL : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Education You are welcome. Finally, I have to add some information at this URL. Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestion or remarks about "Fedora Education". Best Regards Fred Belgian Ambassador

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Fedora work in Sweden!
by mosp 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hello mates ;) I have a Fedora website up and running now. The base feels done, now i need to translate as much as possible. Currently i am translating the installation guide for FC4. After that i am going to translate stuff like "managing software with yum" and other stuff from both fedora.redhat.com and fedoraproject.org. If there are any ambassadors that are involved in any specific projects, for example some kind of software project for fedora core, please let me know. I want to have descriptions of as many projects as possible at my website. If anyone have any suggestions on things to translate and publish, or whatever, tell me... please... im all alone here ;) website can be found at: http://fedora.kampnytt.com (i finally choose xoop, mainly because other ambassadors seemes to use it, and it feels good enough) Now to something really frustrating. Ubuntu users are infecting the Swedish community. Instead of helpning beginners with whatever distro they have installed, these creepy ubuntu users convince the beginners to install ubuntu... I am trying my best to promote Fedora Core, but also not to look down on someone that have chosen another distro. Yesterday a beginner came to a swedish linuxcommunity and had some software installation issues with mandriva. A solution to his problem was easy, but instead they tricked him to change distro to Ubuntu. Its hard to be alone and fight this "infection" ;) Ubuntu ships cds free all over the world to any one who wants it. The deliverytime is a bit slow. Its produced cds where you get one install cd and one livecd... I feel that we in the Fedora community needs to start making Fedora avaible in more ways. We really need a working and complete livecd for either download och shipping. Well, im going to continue my translating work. Until next time.. Mikael Jacobsson

RE: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] About Fedora Promotion inUniversities/Schools
by Hornain Frederic 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Dear Chitlesh, Ahmed, Abhishek and Dear all I completly agree with you about promoting Fedora in School and University. Cause I am convinced that students of today will be the IT users of tomorrow. Nonetheless, I thinks that "Promoting" can be divided into serveral categories which depends of what you plan to do. 1] Introdution of Fedora : In this domain, I can put the following actions : little event, distribution of DVDs/CDs, let a Fedora User guide at the library of the school, etc. And in addition, you can do it in almost every schools with the agreement of the principal. Level of diffculty : Not so difficult - depends of what students are studiing, of course -. Bad point: After you leave, who will maintain "the promotion of Fedora at this school ?" Good point: it is better than nothing. Cause I am sure few of you listeners will be intersted by what Fedora is. 2 ] Developement of Fedora at school : In this domain, you can have the following actions : Installation of Fedora for particular purpose - depends of the schools and the principal -, Utilisation of Fedora by students or teachers and so on, etc... It can be applicable at every schools. Level of diffculty : Not so easy cause you have to convince people at school and help them if they have problems. Good Luck! 3 ] Partnership between Fedora and the schools. With this one, you can do what you want - depending of what principal is accorfding you of course - cause a group of students or teachers have to be a part of the fedora project. I mean it must exist a little communauty inside the school which install, maintain and support Fedora in their schools. With this, schools can use the Fedora logo in their paper support and can have enrolement futur students intersted by Linux I think It can be only applicable at every HIGH schools and particulary at computers schools because they already know what Fedora is. Level of diffculty : Not so easy cause you have to convince Principal about the avantage to be partners with Fedora. Advantage : Intersting for computers students, Intersting for schools also - see above or http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Education - For my part I prefer the domain number 3 cause it is auto-maintainable and after that they can apply in their respective area the domain 1 and principaly the domain 2 because they will not have the problem of helping distant people due to the fact that they are close of the school. Then they will have much more experience than student who are only studiing. That why I have I have created a wiki page for this kind subject http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Education. If you want to join this project, do not hesitate. You are welcome ! Obviiously, if you have any remarks or suggestions feel free to conact me cause this project is not static. In addition, if somthing is not clear feel free to conact me. Finally, I will write something clearer than that at the URL http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Education. BR Fred

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Education
by Hornain Frederic 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Dear all, FYI, as ambassador I went to close computers engineering schools in order to evangelize principals, teachers, students. And even if someones thinks that it is impossible mission to change mentality due to schools policies, I have managed to convinced someones to let students installs Fedora on few school's computers in order to make Educational Open Source Projects. Ok, it not a lot but it is better than nothing, friends. Now, I have talked with a principal about "Fedora Education" and "Red Hat Academy", he was intersted by the both and for the "Red Hat Academy" part he has contacted Mr Barbosa from Red Hat EMEA. So, I have send him an email in order to let him know what is the purpose of "Fedora Education" and the fact that this program is not a concurrent one but rather a complementary one. Now, even if Fedora must be independant I think we should have more interaction with Red Hat people cause the aim is the same . Thanks for reading if you have any suggestions, remarks, feel free to contact me. Best Regards Guys. Fred

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Distributing Kadischi FC5 Test 2 Live cds
by Chitlesh GOORAH 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hello there, Finally, we (Kadischi Contributors) came out with a ""working"" Kadischi for Fedora Core 5 Test 2. Some of you have read about our progress on fp.org/people or on my blog. Ive shown to some of my friends my live cd today based on Fedora Core 5 Test 2. Most of them have seen Fedora Core 4 and Fedora Core 5 Test 2 has shown them how much progress we've made. The comments were fairly outstanding especially for our new Logo and artwork. 2 FC4 users are planning to shift to FC5 once it's out. Ive seen ThomasChung has launched a FreeMedia project. Personally this is a great idea. But now soon Fedora Core 5 will be out with THE NEW LOGO. We need to start something exceptional for this upcoming release. Im burning some copies of my Fedora Live CD for tomorrow's lug meeting. Im thinking about sets of: -(only) Gnome based cds -(only) KDE based cds (some guys are pro-kde) :) - a complete dvd Sure there will be based only on the Fedora Policies :) So maybe this might be another aspect of FreeMedia Project. If you are testing Kadischi to build FC5T2 live cds, Ill remind you that - kadischi is still in its early development stages - testers are welcomed - anaconda does not need patches - building FC5T2 live cds is DIFFERENT from building FC4 live cds Well, Ill be updating http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi/Development wiki page tonight, I call for patience :) I remind to newcomers(ambassadors) that Kadischi is a Fedora Live CD Creator Tool :) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

All, Based on a tip found on HelpOnCategories, I was able to finally narrow it down to only exact numbers of Ambassadors for each countries. Here is the result. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Count As you can see, we now have Fedora Ambassadors in 32 different countries. Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions. Cheers! -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung
