No. I have been talking with Sarah Jones from Red Hat who does events, and I thought we were going to get some support but I haven't heard from her in some time. I'd be very interested in making contact on either front. Can you help? > 2. Do you have a webiste where we can learn more about this event? The NECC website is at http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2006/. This is the second year I've been asked to lead the Open Source effort there, and the first year that our presenters are actually listed in the program as full speakers. It's significant progress, and came out of providing a similar lineup at the cue.org show in Palm Springs some weeks ago. -- Steve Hargadon Thank you Steve, As a start, I'm forwarding your email to Fedora Ambassadors and Fedora Marketing mailing lists to get an attention. Once we have enough interests and resources, we should be able to find someone to help your event and promote Fedora Project at the same time. -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] any Fedora Ambassadors in Toronto?
by Max Spevack 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Hi folks. If there are any Fedora ambassadors in Toronto who would be interested in leading up a Fedora presence at LinuxWorld Toronto next week, please contact famsco-list(a)redhat.com Red Hat is going to have a presence there, and is willing to offer help with budget and coordination, but we need to find some bodies who can actually represent Fedora in our space. There will be an opportunity to give a talk about Fedora as well, if someone wants to do that. :-) This is a fast-moving target and opportunity, so if you're a Fedora person in the area with the desire and ability to help, make yourself known ASAP. :-) --Max -- Max Spevack + gpg key -- http://people.redhat.com/~mspevack/mspevack.asc + fingerprint -- CD52 5E72 369B B00D 9E9A 773E 2FDB CB46 5A17 CF21

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Report on "A day with Fedora"
by Kushal Das 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Hi, I am back. The event, "A day with Fedora" ended properly except a few moments. Here is the report: I reached Durgapur on 3rd April. That was a holiday in BCREC college, but my dgplug colleagues were there to do the final work. We checked the banners, seminar room etc. We also burned a few copies of FC5 DVD in night. The next day started properly. There were four speakers, Me , Indranil Dasgupta, Sayamindu Dasgupta & Soumyadip Modak. There were around 120 students. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126889972/in/set-7205759410441324… http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126890182/in/set-7205759410441324… First we played "Truth Happens", it took lot of attention. The first speech was from Indranil named "All about Fdora". http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126890302/in/set-7205759410441324… The slides was made Sankarshan & IDG. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126890420/in/set-7205759410441324… It lasts around 2 hours. He first talked about FOSS, then stared how Fedora project fits in. A few M$ lover asked why Linux?? and got perfect punch back to them & the first half ended that way. We distributed FC4 DVDs & tee as the reward of asking questions. The second session started with my talk. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126892052/in/set-7205759410441324… I was talking about different apps in FC5 & I opened them one by one as the slides goes on. But suddenly current was gone, hopefully it came back with 10 minutes. During that time we had lots of question about the applications in Fedora. Third talk was from Sayam, he showed a bengali KDE in FC5. His talk was mainly about how to translate. Then Soumyadip showed some live translation example, he mainly came to talk about translation for Ubuntu. The last talk was again from Sayam, "Programming in Linux". That started with basic C programming to GTK programming. The day ended with Soumya's vote of thanx. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126893037/in/set-7205759410441324… In the next day we had a Install fest in the college lab. In the first half a complete loadshading was there, so we started from the second half. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126893566/in/set-7205759410441324… First I showed the installation process in a box. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126894278/in/set-7205759410441324… Then the students started installing in the boxes one after another. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126893763/in/set-7205759410441324… http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126894932/in/set-7205759410441324… Forget to tell you, that was my first text based installation, the boxes have only 128MB ram. At the end I had a very bad error. http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126797188/in/set-7205759410441324… It came only for one box. The same CD/DVD works fine in other boxes. The points came up during the event was: 1. Why can't we do a full install in FC5? 2. How to use the DVD/CD to install apps using pirut ? 3. Fedora T-shirts, should have g-size(for girls) :) check http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126890542/in/set-7205759410441324… http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/126890823/in/set-7205759410441324… You can check the photos in http://www.flickr.com/photos/88746839@N00/sets/72057594104413249/ Regards, Kushal

Thanks for taking over--I really appreciate your help! I have had a small emergency at work (and I while am in the office, my paid job unfortunately always goes before my Fedora duties) and had to take care of that. I only got my head above water again now. Thank you Thomas once again, and my apologies for the sudden disappearance. I will try not to let it happen again. Thank you, Alex
