haskell and promotion !!
by Satish Eerpini 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

hi everyone , i have this small doubt , the feature list ( the current one ) of Fedora 10 says that it will have very good support for Haskell, and this could well be used by us (ambassadors) for promoting the release in the other communities which are less familiar with Fedora Linux like Scientists , Engineers , etc , i am not sure whether this is the right place for this question but : what is haskell , and how improved support for it could really help the acceptance of the entire Distro ( Fedora 10 ) ?? well i have not heard the word Haskell enough times to even remember the name !!, Thanks Satish -- http://satish.playdrupal.com

Utah Open Source Conference 2008
by Clint Savage 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hi all, As the organizer of UTOSC 2008, I'm officially asking for help from Fedora Ambassadors who would like to attend and maintain a booth at UTOSC 2008. I'm hoping that there are a few who can make the conference. This year, we've had an amazing 89 presentations submitted, and will have approximately 50 presentations during the 3 day event. Check out more details as they are released at http://2008.utosc.com (I should also mention that our fearless leader has graciously accepted an offer of a keynote speaker). In addition, we'll be providing a small expo floor (10-15 booths) and Fedora is one of them! To that end, I know there are funds set aside for this event and would like to request materials soon, but don't quite know how to go about it. I figure this is a good as place as any to start. Thanks in advance for not beating me to a pulp for not knowing the process :) Cheers, Clint

Event Budget September 1 - November 30
by Max Spevack 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hi Ambassadors, SHORT VERSION OF ANNOUNCEMENT: If you are organizing an event that takes place in September, October, or November, and you want budget from FAMSCo, make sure your event is on the FedoraEvents page by August 1. LONG VERSION OF ANNOUNCEMENT: We've had a great first half of 2008, and it's time for us to all start thinking about the events that are coming up during Q3, which in Red Hat's timeframe is September 1 - November 30. As you recall, the process that FAMSCo uses for allocating budget for events is as follows: One month before the start of the quarter, all events that are (a) listed on the FedoraEvents page and (b) have a specific owner on the FedoraEvents page are allocated budget based on the funds available for that quarter. Anything not on the FedoraEvents page in time will have to be considered separately by FAMSCo for budget. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents So, that means anyone who is planning an event for September, October, or November needs to get their event on the FedoraEvents page, and have a sub-page for organization (if necessary) set up by August 1, which is about 3 weeks from now. My thanks to everyone who already has their events on there. We're going to start the Events budget for next quarter at $12,000 USD, but past experience has shown us that the number will creep up over time. Therefore, starting at $12,000 USD gives FAMSCo some "buffer space" for unexpected things that come up. Please note that FUDCon Brno 2008 has its own separate budget, and funding that event will not come out of FAMSCo's budget. In addition to thoe events that FAMSCo funds, FAMSCo also will continue to set aside money to specifically support local regions in things like creating swag and producing media. Thanks for your time and attention. Keep up the great job representing Fedora! --Max

Chaos Communications Congress 2008: 25C3
by Robert M. Albrecht 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hi, this years, as every year, the spaceship FairyDust ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Wp_zelt_mit_rakete.JPG) will arrive in Berlin / Germany and opens the Chaos Communications Congress ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Communication_Congress) Chaos Communications Congress is the worlds largest hacking congress, lasting 4 days around the clock and estimated 4500 people. Do we want to be present with Fedora ? The call for papers is open too: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/ Projects can apply for a "booth". If will do a booth, we will have to do an unusal booth, unlike Linuxtag. The average visitor is highly skilled, often very political, often a bit strange :-) Fedora Embedded, One Laptop per Child, Hacking Contest, ... something like that. If someone has no idea on the congress, some pictures from last year: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Photo_Documentation/index.html cu romal www.romal.de blog.romal.de
