fedoraproject email broken
by Frederic Hornain
Dear *,
It seems the fedoraproject.org email is broken.
For my part, I have done the test but still not receive any mail. It
is maybe due to some delay.
So, Could someone check that ?
Thanks a lot for your great help.
Kind Regards
Frederic Hornain
Have fun with F8.

FOSDEM 08 FEDORA SPEAKERS
by Frederic Hornain
Dear *,
The Fedora speakers recruitment for FOSDEM 08 started few weeks ago
and I still not have any candidate from Fedora/Red Hat community
-except Pawel for a presentation of Fedora -
So, in order to be fair and nice with our friend of CentOs and FOSDEM
visitors, I would need proposals from you.
If you can spread the words...
You can register at the Fedora FOSDEM 08 wiki page.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/FOSDEM/FOSDEM2008
In addition, I have received a speaker proposition from someone
outside of .Fedora community.
For my part, I think it is not a bad idea to let one session from
outside in oder to have other Fedora experiences returns
What do you think about that ?
Best Regards
Frederic Hornain

Ambassadors Meeting EMEA - IRC Summary 2007-12-12
by Fabian Affolter
FAmSco
The nomination period for a FAMSco seat was extended about one week due
to lack of nominations.
The deadline for a self-nomination was 12-09-2007.
Nominations: AlejandroMoncada, FrancescoUgolini, JeffreyTadlock,
JohnBabich, PabloBarrera, RodrigoPadula, SandroMathys, ThomasCanniot,
and myself.
Unfortunately there is no effort from APAC.
The voting period will start soon. Please vote for your favorite
candidate when the voting period has started.
Ambassadors Membership
2007-12-11, 282 Ambassadors have been verified (signed CLA and joined
'ambassadors' group)
How many of those 282 ambassadors are based in the EMEA region?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/CountryList
Freemedia
FreeMedia will remove this from future meetings because it's more
associated to Distribution than the Ambassadors Program.
Events
Linux Solutions at Paris
We are subscribed, we will have a booth
Chemnitzer LinuxTage 2008
Who is willing to hep me in Chemnitz? JensKuehnel will not go alone!
He have not ordered a booth. Want to help him there? Send him an Email
NPO
kanarip keeps his promises to translate "Gerold's version" into english
and sent it to him for checking
GeroldKa translated the "goales" into german and sent the letter to the
financial department to check out if the goals are good enough for the
german law to be confirmed as "allgemeinnützig" which is related to pay
taxes or not -> the answer is still standing
BartCouvreur ask for the statutes. Everybody will get the opportunity
to see the translated version; but first we want to check out if THIS
version will match with the law of the country in which we will found
it; othwerwise it makes no sense to confrontate you with a version which
is not the value on the stamp with which it is send.
CLA has nothing to do with the NPO. The statutes only describe the
how's, who's and what's of the organization itself. It sets rules for
the organization (e.g. the executive board) to have general members
meetings once a year, etc
JeroenVanMeeuwen have a huge chunk translated and he is starting the
last couple of notes, He hope to be able to send out a draft by the end
of the week, otherwise it'll be during the weekend. Motion to move the
item to the next meeting for another status update
Vote on the statutes on FOSDEM 2008 and maybe election of the board
there. Founding has to be a face-to-face meeting with the founder.
A minimum of seven and out of this crowed the board must be elected
there is no country limitaion where you found and which nationality the
persons must be.
The name will be Fedora EMEA -it has been agreed upon by mspevack
It aligns with another NPO initiative JeroenVanMeeuwen is involved with
in the USA, as well as with "Fedora Project" being the official project
itself.
Next meeting (so far)

<fabian_a> couf
<couf> Is someone checking compatibility with CLA and such stuff? (just
checking)
<fugolini> !
<kanarip> hi guys

* Karl_le_Rouge has quit (Nick collision from services.)
* Karl_le_1ouge (n=Karl2(a)90.9.127.94) has joined #fedora-meeting
<fabian_a> fugolini
* Karl_le_1ouge is now known as Karl_le_Rouge
<kanarip> i'm sorry i'm late
<fugolini> i don't know the content of the statute but this one and the
CLA have different "natures"
<fugolini> CLA is a licencees between the person and RedHat
<ChitleshGoorah> fugolini: +1
<fugolini> and the otherr one is the association of people with common
goals.
<kanarip> the statutes only describe the how's, who's and what's of the
organization itself
<fugolini> eof
<couf> !
<ChitleshGoorah> !
<fabian_a> couf
<couf> not entirely true, cla has notions of what we do as contributors
to fedora
<fugolini> but we talk ever about contributors
<couf> as such the statutes can have some issues
<fugolini> it's a different legal subject
<GeroldKa> !
<kanarip> !!
<couf> well it's both about Fedora which we use with CLA agreement
<couf> eof
<fabian_a> ChitleshGoorah, GeroldKa, kanarip
<ChitleshGoorah> couf: please leave CLA outside the legal entity. please
don't complete things
<ChitleshGoorah> complicate
<kanarip> like i said the statutes only describe the organization, how
big the board is and how it should vote, what bodies it may or may not
have, and where money flows and may not flow
<ChitleshGoorah> CLA should be left as is !
<ChitleshGoorah> eof
<GeroldKa> there is no paragraph with the needing of "signing the cla"
inside because there is no need to do so. rest as kanarip said :-)
<kanarip> it sets rules for the organization (e.g. the executive board)
to have general members meetings once a year, etc
<kanarip> GeroldKa, +1, it just isn't in there
<kanarip> in fact it says right now any natural legal entity can become
a member of the organization
<kanarip> it even adds to that other organizations can become a member,
which includes companies
<kanarip> there is no such thing however as "cla_done can and others can't"
<couf> !
<ChitleshGoorah> kanarip: +1
* armelk (n=KERM_ARM(a)ANantes-151-1-86-145.w86-195.abo.wanadoo.fr) has
left #fedora-meeting
<fabian_a> couf
<couf> okay, I didn't go into a deep discussion about this, was just
wondering if we needed to look at it, that's all
<couf> eof
<ChitleshGoorah> no, we don't need to, eof
<GeroldKa> !
<fabian_a> GeroldKa
<GeroldKa> membership can't violate Fedora or the cla, because the
membership is no right to use something from RH or Fedora, so there is
also no need to complicate such a structure or NPO
<couf> okay, that clarifies all, thanks
<GeroldKa> as kanarip said ...
<GeroldKa> eof
<kanarip> !
<fabian_a> kararip
<fabian_a> sorry, kanarip
<kanarip> i have a huge chunk translated and i am starting the last
couple of notes, i hope to be able to send out a draft by the end of the
week, otherwise it'll be during the weekend
<kanarip> motion to move the item to the next meeting for another status
update
<kanarip> EOF
<fabian_a> thanks, kanarip
<fabian_a> there is only one point left, FAD
<fabian_a> The FAD EMEA 2007 was held at Rheinfelden 24-11-2007.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD/FADEMEA2007
<fabian_a> Chitlesh has made a summary. For more detail check out the
following page
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2007-December/msg...
<fabian_a> Now the stage is open...anything else? Any more questions or
issues before we close this meeting?
<kanarip> yes
<fabian_a> kanarip
<kanarip> does everyone know we are going to vote on the statutes on
FOSDEM 2008?
<kanarip> and elect the board there, too?
<couf> nope
<kanarip> it is one of those things discussed at FAD that didn't really
make it into the notes
<ChitleshGoorah> I'll be absent on FOSDEM2008
<kanarip> ChitleshGoorah, can you enpower someone to cast your vote for you?
<GeroldKa> not possible kanarip
<ChitleshGoorah> kanarip: I might do it online :) (if not I'll figure
out something)
<kanarip> GeroldKa, not on the statutes even?
* saadsaidi has quit (Remote closed the connection)
<GeroldKa> founding has to be a face-to-face meeting with the founder
<GeroldKa> german law; sorry
<kanarip> ok
<ChitleshGoorah> but FOSDEM will be in belgium
<GeroldKa> a minimum of seven and out of this crowed the board must be
elected
<GeroldKa> there is no country limitaion where you found and which
nationality the persons must be
<kanarip> so, here it is:
<fugolini> ?
-fugolini/#fedora-meeting- i cancel the answer
<kanarip> we vote on the statutes on FOSDEM and elect the board, anyone
casting a vote, running for board or casting a vote for the board
elections has to be physically attending FOSDEM
<kanarip> is that right GeroldKa ?
<GeroldKa> totally
<kanarip> let's stress that fact over the mailing lists

<kanarip> it aligns with another NPO initiative i'm involved with in the
USA, as well as with "Fedora Project" being the official project itself

<fabian_a> red_alert
<kanarip> open floor, please
<red_alert> I just want to mention that "attend or accept what is voted"
is correct, but a poll at the next meeting can change things again

way at any meeting to come
