Hi, a) does make international shipping sense ? I would estimate that shipping is more expensive than manufacturing several transparents, ... Creating one event box in every (large) country would be the way to got. National shipping is much faster and cheaper. b) HW ist not international usable (different plugs, voltage of 110/220, ...). c) Nice HW which is offered with Linux as an option, so the drivers should be no problem: small, lownoise, ... http://www.transtec.de/D/D/products/personal_computer/pc/mini_pc.html?mod=p… <http://www.transtec.de/D/D/products/personal_computer/pc/mini_pc.html?mod=p…> d) I would recommend central storage between events. The PCs have to be reinstalled and cleaned. e) What about a video projector ? f) Additional hardware: speakers, webcams, ... ? g) Only Desktop PCs ?. Laptop-prices are really low these days, so a cheap laptop doesn't not cost more than a shippable PC, a display, a keyboard and a mouse. Laptops are much lighter and therefore easier to ship and use less space on a booth. Also we can show, that Fedora has no problems with powermanagement, pcmcia, wlan, bluetooth, ... h) Depending on the target-audience (corporate, enduser, ...) we should make a list what apps or games could be used. Which non-violent games or graphic demos have cool 3d-graphics for some eyecatching ? Which applications are important for corporate users ? For example, they should be fully translated. Mix-language apps are always leaving a bad impression. Perhaps we can find some things, that other PC operating systems can`t do: better resistance to virus-mails, better support for older hardware, 3D desktop, network based scanning, included and / or free virtualization via XEN oder Innoteks VirtualBox. Perhaps it`s a interessting thing to show Linux running on a rather old PC. "If your machine is to slow to upgrade to the new release of that other operating system, you could try Fedora.Look here." cu romal Jeffrey Tadlock schrieb: > Robert M.

by Haowei 10 May '07

10 May '07

Event Box is a so excellent idea for our ambassadors work. Just now,when I wnat to write down something on this page I could not find anywhere to do.So could this website be added another part that is Comment of Envent Box? This part is for ambassordors to write down their new idea which is not very suitable for changing table but useful. What do you think about this?

Attn: Indian Ambassadors
by Santosh Jain 08 May '07

Hi fellow Indian Ambassadors I write this mail seeking your help in clearing all the backlogs and maintaining a healthy FreeMedia India Program. Officially we are 33 in Number and the approximate request received by the FreeMedia India program is around 40-50 every month. Why cant we share this? 40-50 will definitely be a burden to any single individual, but when done in a collective way its nothing! The current individual ratio is around 1.5 DVD's per ambassador. Can we collectively do something to make sure we run this FreeMedia Program successfully.? -- Santosh Kumar **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ************ This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).

Ambassadors: Firstly,I have myself introduction.I am a new Fedora ambassador for China.At present,I am a professional editor and forum administrator and BD for one networking company in Beijing.Recently join this Fedora family with the help of tchung. These days,I tried my best to view all information in this website.However,I can not be happy when I finished this work.I do really found some problems,especially for China.I found that there were so less work,information and activities about Fedora in China also with seldom exchange among our Chinese ambassadors in this list.I have found so many information and activities about countries in Europe and America.What all of these remind me:We do little things! Because of my 2 years experience of BD and professional IT work,I think we can do an excellent job for ambassadors work in China through our cooperation.I hope people here can help us,give us more advices and we will do better job. Here,with my own working experience,I list some of my opinion and plan for ambassador work in China(Local or all country is OK) in next months. I plan to do them seriously.Since I just started my ambassador experience ,I hope everyone here can give some advice.Thanks a lot. 1.Make a union of Fedora in China.Member of it was Fedora fan. (Popurse:collection of Fedora fan also Fedora users,we can get more information and advice from them) 2.Link to some website and networking company,make a great activity about Fedora in China.Now I am thinking plan of this 3.Develop more fans for Frdoraproject or make a date base for it.Selectgood one recommend to you if they fit for ambassador work Buy the way,*I do hope that ambassadors in China could attend meeting on 10th,May*.I hope to discuss with all of you and get your advice. Best regards for all of you, -- Haowei -->Fedora Ambassador for China ------------------------------------------------------- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HaoweiLee

Issue about Compiz
by Bart De Soete 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hi guys, Testing some multimedia-options here for future migrating of a small multimedia company from MS to our beloved Fedora and Linux in general. I had a question about Compiz, the XGL-desktop... Packages are installed and I've got effects like wobbling windows, but I can't find how I can display the cube while screen switching. Are there any shortcuts? Regards, -- Bart De Soete, Fedora Ambassador – Belgium
