- Lindependence will be holding an event in New Mexico this year
* NA Event Sponsorship Planning
There has been some recent discussion within FAmNA about how to best
handle when and where Fedora might sponsor events in NA. The general
motivation behind event sponsorship is that it is one part of being
a good member of the event community we all benefit from participating
in. While we need to recognize we can't sponsor all events, we do want
to sponsor ones that we have a large presence at when our budget allows
us to. This will need to be considered on a case by case basis. We intend
to consider sponsorship of events as part of the initial budget process
as a routine part of early event planning in the future.
This quarter we will be sponsors of LinuxFest Northwest in Bellingham, WA
and the SouthEast LinuxFest in Clemson, SC. The latter event will occur in
Q2 of our fiscal year.
* Events [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents]

- dthomasdigital has begun investigation of case badge options, quotes
and style options available soon
- davdunc volunteered to do the legwork to line up some options for
temporary tattoos - will be news on these next week
- StabbyMc suggested using ambassador polos as something of a reward,
this needs to get some consideration as they certainly would be a reward
* Tasks [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks]
- No report
* Open Floor
- StabbyMc shared a wiki page he started about mentoring with us
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_Ambassador_Mentor_Program
- MadBus asked about ambassadors presenting to OEM vendors which resulted
in much discussion about vendor contributions, Fedora on commercially
available boxes, and Fedora in K-12 institutions
I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new
ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.

Hi,
I think only ambassador group is functional, or at least freemedia group is non functional.
mostafa.daneshvar(a)gmail.com said he is also unapproved like me. Anyone else.
I also want to know if there is any group which works on "how to use fedora".

Is it mandatory to submit ssh key before joining freemedia group.
