Ambassadors Project vs Distribution Project
by Thomas Chung 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

All, It seems many of us confused between Ambassadors Project vs Distribution Project. We, Ambassadors are not part of Distribution project and we should not ask for media from Fedora Project to distribute them under Fedora Free Media Program. Fedora Free Media Program was originally created by concerned members of the Fedora Ambassadors Project in an effort to deliver Fedora media for those who can't afford to download or get from media vendors. Fedora Free Media Program also has a clear guideline in the Information page[1] which states we supposed to burn and ship media using our own resources (DVD writer, blank media, shipping materials and postage). It's _JUST_ wrong to join Ambassadors Project and Free Media Program _JUST_ to receive some free media from Fedora Project. If this continues, I rather close down the Free Media Program once for all. This is not why I started this program originally. In other hand, if you joined Ambassadors Project and Free Media Program, you _MUST_ burn and ship at least 1 DVD a month. If you can't do that, I would politely ask you remove yourself from the program since we have so many _INACTIVE_ members in the program.

Fedora Online Magazine
by Anand Capur 16 Jun '07

16 Jun '07

What do you guys think of putting a team together and making a Fedora Online Magazine? I would head it (Be the editor-in-chief), and we would publish it every 2 months (with some other special releases). I really think this would be good for us. We would have no costs besides hosting for the magazine which I think the web team could take care of (I'll ask them also). We could have a set few staff (5-10), and then have open submission where all the members of the community can send in articles, and the staff would pick the best to go in. I'd license the magazine under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License (or something else?) the point is it wouldn't be copyrighted (or it can be... but i'd prefer it to be open). We could arrange to get it printed in the future and take advertisements from people in the community. No stupid ads for some buy this coffee maker today..unless the coffee maker runs fedora;). So yeah, I just wanna get approval, and see how it goes. If you wanna be on the staff and you are a good writer (duh....) just email me (acapur{At]arcnetworks[dot}biz). It could really market fedora, get us more users, and teach our users new things. I really wanna do this, I've got some really good ideas!! P.S. I've BCC'ed this to the Ambassadors list. Thanks, Anand Capur (Fedora Ambassador)

New Ambassador and Regional Law to support FLOSS
by Mario Torre 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hello everyone! I'm writing to the list to introduce myself as well as to talk about an important opportunity for the FLOSS ecosystem in general (and to some degree to Fedora itself). I've asked to join the Fedora Ambassador group in the hope to be helpful, and there is not much else I can say other than that I'm really, really happy to be part of the family. In my daily life I work on Free Software, both as a developer and doing consulting services for small to medium sizes companies in the area where I live (Salerno, Italy), just as I think many of you do too in their daily jobs. On 15 June (this Friday already!), I have to give a presentation of a new Regional Law that pushes the use of FLOSS/Open Standards in the Public Administration. This is the work of years and many finally arriving to an end and I'm very proud of that too. I would like to go to the talk not "only" as a member of the local LUG and part of the organizations behind this Law, but also as an official Fedora Ambassador, if you think it is the case. I'll write down a summary of this meeting and the text of the Law itself (but I'm not a lawyer, so the English translation may not be accurate and will be for your interest only). Any questions welcomed!

135 Free Media Requests need to be filled
by Karlie Robinson 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hello everyone. It seems that this list got very quite right about the ways to fill Free Media Requests once the chatter about the disc format was stopped. We're still looking for ideas to boost capacity to ensure that everyone who requests a disc gets one in a timely manner. We have capacity issues every month and need everyone to do some thinking so that the program can get better with time. This is a reminder that there are 135 requests yet to be filled on the June List [1] You can help by... 1) By directly filling requests. See the Contributors page for info on how to join up [2] 2) By making a cash donation. See the Donations page at link [3] below. 3) By encouraging people who order discs to order from a vendor doing sponsored Media. The Vendors are marked with a Star at [4] or go right to the short list at [5] 4) by encouraging anyone doing respins and remasters of Fedora 7 to post them at Respins.org. Every ISO I can add to the On-Disk.com catalog means more free Media Discs being sponsored. ~Karlie Robinson [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/F7DVD/June [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Contributors [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Donation [4] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/OnlineVendors [5] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/SponsoredMedia

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

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
