French Event - RMLL (July 10-14) - Need some help
by Maxime Carron 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

Hi folks, Spring monthes are great and busy for the french team. We have planed many events, and almost french ambassadors are involved in one of them. But it's sometimes hard to find poeple who have free time to spread fedora during working days. From July the 10th to 14th will occur the RMLL (Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre) ie "Free Software World Meetings" in Amiens, France. RMLL is a big and great event in France. Lots of poeple are coming from all over the world, and both high level and beginner conferences are planed during the week. You can find info about it at http://www.rmll.info/rubrique3.html?lang=en Patrice Kadionik (active member and community manager on fedora-fr.org) is co-chair for System and Embedded system section. Alan Cox will be there too. As this event occurs during students holidays it's possible to rent student rooms for 10€/nigth and eat for 1€/meal. Currently we're just 2,5 volunteers for this events (Christophe Polyte, Charles Vinchon, Maxime Carron [i'm the half]), which is really not enough. We need your help. Feel free to contact me for more information or if you want to attend this event. Cheers, Maxime -- Maxime Carron <maxime.carron@@fedoraproject.org> French Fedora Ambassador Fedora-fr Community Manager - http://www.fedora-fr.org

Paperwork anyone ?
by Hanafiah Muhamad 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

Dear Respected Ambassadors; :-) I believe many of you out there have experience to handling many linux / fedora event. I would like to recommend that we build a system that list our documentation and also paperwork. This system can help many people to create their own event or caloboration with other parties. We also can created own own standard in handling our event. Beside that we can make enhance our performance. The most important is to create local Fedora LUG. Local LUG can be used to distribute media and merchandise. This can eliminate multiple request or shipping cost. Local Fedora LUG should be responsibility to manage merchandise and local fund. Later on this LUG will be line P 2 P torrent which can support each other. Thank You --- Mohd Hanafiah bin Muhamad Fedora Ambassadors for Malaysia http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HanafiahMuhamad

Fedora Open Days in Poland
by Pawel Sadowski 02 Jun '07

02 Jun '07

Hi, We're organizing an event in Poland which will be mainly focused on Fedora and I have a question to foreign Ambassadors. I think that'd fantastic if anyone of you could attend the event. Such person would be some kind of special guest and I would like him to say something about Fedora European Community, that would be really something great. The event takes place on 16th & 17th June in Cracow. I'd be really grateful if anyone could come here. Accommodation is not a problem, we can do everything that is needed. I'm looking to have a feedback from you, I hope someone could come ;) Cheers, Pawel

Question about Mutt
by Bart De Soete 02 Jun '07

02 Jun '07

Hi guys, At my workstation (FC 6) I use Mutt to read fast and easy my mails. It was pre-configured by IT-dept. However, at home I use a workstation running FC6 and a laptop running Ubuntu 7.04. I wish to install and configure Mutt to read and send emails from my @fedoraproject.org-emailadress which is redirected to my gmail-account. So actually: I need to configure it for Gmail. Can someone help me out here? The Mutt-manual looks not very easy. Also I can't find the .muttrc file? Thanks a lot, -- Bart De Soete, Fedora Ambassador – Belgium

Media
by Marc Wiriadisastra 01 Jun '07

I know this was mentioned earlier in the free-media list but I feel this list is a more appropriate discussion forum. I personally feel we should give the options to our 'customers' as to whether they want the live-cd's or the dvd's. As Rahul mentioned some people do not have dvd capable drives and I personally feel giving that option for the live-cd's would be an added bonus. I would love your thoughts but I don't think it would be any extra effort for us to hold 5 iso's instead of 3. Or maybe its 6 iso's I haven't had a good look. Either way I don't mind I just thought because of our new live-cd's we should advertise that fact. I still see forum posts saying we only have dvd's when in fact this is not correct. Regards, Marc
