FOSDEM 07 Feed Back
by Frederic Hornain
Dear *,
First of all, sorry for the wrong manipulation !
Then I would like to excuse myself to have missed at the last minute this
fabulous event this year but as I told to Chitlesh last friday
unfortunatly my daughter was very ill and I could not be there. I had to
take care of her.
Sorry again. :(
Nonetheless, I have seen that Fedora presence was successfull.
I looked at pictures at http://www.simline.de/fosdem and I recognized some
ambassadors that I met previouly.
I have also seen that OLPC laptop was at the Fedora Booth as planned.
However, I would be very interesting by your fresh feed back in order to
improve this event next year.
I know already that we would have to increase the size of the booth.
Sorry for that but I did not know at the reservation time that as much as
Fedora people came.
So,
Did you have any problems with the Dev'room ?
Did you have any problem with the Hardware Insurance ?
Do you think that Red Hat and Fedora would have a common booth or a separate
booth close each other ?
What kind of improvment would you suggest for next year ?
What do you think about an annual FUDCON at FOSDEM for EMEA Fedora users ?
And so on and so for ....
Thanks in advance for you answers.
BR
Fred

You're entirely right.
I don't know how a reward must be seen. From my point of you, rewards
for "good" work or to be honest (?), for "excessive buzzing" does not
motivate myself more than I am already. I don't think a day about being
rewarded for being an ambassador, and I would be very pleased to give my
reward to someone for which it would be useful, i.e. motivating. If it
can help / encourage people to spread the word about fedora in their
countries, then I would be very pleased to give it to any body in
Russia, India, Australia, Japan, China or any other country in these
areas.
I think this is definitely something we have to think about.
ps: however, if you've got a job at RH, I would be very pleased to be
hired :D

Fedora Emeritus Ambassadors
by Francesco Ugolini
I've a small proposal that consist in the creation of a Fedora Emeritus
Ambassador, an experienced and active Ambassador who have the
possibility to address (trough specific rights) the Ambassadors'
activity, i think he will be a good guide to newbie and to everyone that
need help (eg. there is a poll and i don't know the effects this will
have on the project, like the Merging Issue
(www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MergingIssue).
For the beta period i suggest those 6 people, that i see work hard and
be the Light of the project:
Gerold Kassube
Jorg Simon
Chitlesh Goorah
Thomas Chung
Robert Whetsel
... and, at the end, Max Spevack, that is not only a perfect Fedora
Leader but an excellent Ambassador (he stayed a lot of time in the booth
and work a lot)
What do you think?

The end of cross-posting
by Karsten Wade
There is a consensus that we have separate topics for
fedora-ambassadors-list and fedora-marketing-list.
To keep messages on-topic, we need to stop cross-posting to the two
lists. There is almost no topic that can be on both lists at the same
time.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PostIsOffTopic#fedora-ambassadors-list
If a post does not match the topic as defined there, it is off topic and
needs to be posted somewhere else.
I wanted to call this out in particular so people understand why their
post receives a link to PostIsOffTopic. :)
- Karsten
(Non-cross-posted message with a different Subject but similar
topic/wording has been posted to the marketing list)

release announcement idea [RFC]
by Karsten Wade
Last release we had an idea that I'm proposing we try for Fedora 7. For
reasons that should be obvious as you read, the Ambassadors seem to be a
natural group to do this. Perhaps in coordination/collaboration with
Fedora Translation/L10n contributors?
The basic idea is to distribute to countries/regions a list of "talking
points". Talking points are specific items we want to see covered in
any release announcement. Then each region/language can choose to i)
form a small team, and ii) collaborate to write a truly localized
release announcement.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/ReleaseAnnouncements#Process
Background
----------
In the past, the announcement introduction has been written in English
in a semi-humorous way. To understand it, you had to know specific
cultural references. This made them fairly impossible to translate (or
transliterate). Or even understand, period.
This new method would rely entirely upon the local groups to collaborate
on an announcement, then distribute it within their region as a formal
Fedora release announcement. One place to start is fedora-announce.
How many different language announcements can we get on fedora-announce
for Fedora 7?
One concern that is that a release announcement is a very big chance to
start misinformation about Fedora. For example, an announcement may be
written in a language not read by most of the Fedora leadership, and the
authors accidentally choose terms or phrasing that reflect negatively on
Fedora. The quality of the writing or grammar also reflects on Fedora.
To lower this risk, it seems like a good idea to have the release
announcement draft due for review by the final test (usually test3,
occasionally test4). Every draft announcement then needs an independent
review by a reader of that language.
I'm sure that this has been done informally in various countries. This
idea is to formalize the process, recognize the people involved with the
honor of speaking LOUDLY for Fedora, and make an ever bigger impact with
this next release.

Some Idea....please reply
by Giuseppe Pignataro
Dear Ambassador and member of the marketing list,
I have some idea and want know what do you think about this.
The first idea is this:
1) My first idea is to create a site like linuxcounter for people that use
Fedora.
I believe that this idea is good for two reason.
The first reason is that in this way we can counter the user that use Fedora
The second reason,this is a marketing reason, this is a good way which a
Fedora user can distinguished about another GNU/Linux user.I want that
people can undestand the "Fedora way".I want that Fedora User can say:
"I'm a Fedora user, I'm a special person because I use this distro, because
this distro are the best distro and i have have some that distinguish me
from another generic user.I'm Fedora"
I want that people can consider Fedora (the distro,the community and all
around the project) as a way of life.
2)The second idea is this:
I want to create something like a dating site but for Fedora user.
Ok, I explain the idea about the dating site. I want to create a site where
the user can meet other user in real time.
The site can give at all the Fedora user around the world to know other
Fedora user.Can give the possibility to resolv the problem that the newbie
can have and in this way is possible to see that bihind the Fedora Project
there are real people,and not only a mail address.
Ok,can you say me wath do you think about this 2 idea?
Best Regards,
Giuseppe Pignataro
