IEEE International Conference in Tunisia
by Chitlesh GOORAH 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hello there, The 16th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems, ICECS 2009 [1], will be held in Tunisia on the 13th to 16th December 2009. The wiki page [2] says we have 7 ambassadors in Tunisia. Can anyone of you represent FEL at that conference ? Tasks include: - writing and sending a paper (will be done by me) - prepare local ambassadors with the talking points (will be done by me) - attend the conference and distribute your Fedora business cards (eat good food too :) ) - if our paper is selected by the chair, the ambassador will give a brief introduction about Fedora&FEL You may find other publications, screenshots and presentations on [3]. I believe that FEL should be sending papers to technical conferences around the world. These papers will describe our opensource EDA solutions and Fedora's key features eventually. If you are aware of such conferences in your locality, please let me know :) [1]: http://www.icecs2009.org/ [2]: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/CountryList#Africa [3]: http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL Kind regards, Chitlesh http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

Scammer email
by Aditya Patawari 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I just received an email from "joyawaza(a)yahoo.com" . This person states that he got my email id from fedoraproject.org. Upon running a google search I found that this address is listed as a "SCAMMER E-MAIL ADDRESS" at many websites. Ambassadors please think before you respond to his/her requests. -- Aditya Patawari http://blog.adityapatawari.com/ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adimania Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra India

[Fwd: Calendaring idea]
by John Poelstra 05 Jul '09

Cross posting to ambassadors and marketing. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Calendaring idea Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:07:46 -0700 From: John Poelstra <poelstra(a)redhat.com> Reply-To: Fedora Infrastructure <fedora-infrastructure-list(a)redhat.com> To: Fedora Infrastructure <fedora-infrastructure-list(a)redhat.com> Here is a really successful project from where I live that Fedora might benefit from. http://calagator.org/ http://code.google.com/p/calagator/ It is different from the traditional "calendaring/Outlook" type solution that has been under discussion, but it is extremely easy for people to add events to and for others to query and get updates from (RSS and ical feeds). Maybe it would be useful for a small segment of our project like weekly team meetings. It could also be used on much larger scale for Fedora events around the world.

Achieving old freemedia requests for F10 and opening form for F11.
by susmit shannigrahi 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi, I am going to open up the freemedia form in an hour. Before that a few notes: 1. I have moved all F10 tickets to three separate reports. Report 25, 26,27. These are not grouped by region, only grouped by countries. If you have any difficulty regarding this move, please let me know. 2. New requests for F11 will be categorised by Region and Country as earlier. There should not be any problem regarding this. And thanks a lot for your nice works. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from Calcutta, WB, India

Fedora books?
by Emilio Simpkins 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

As I get people asking me about Fedora, I find I don't know much on the subject (yeah I know ambassador who doesn't know his distro), so I was wondering if anyone knows any books out there that could help me learn more about Fedora and Linux in general...(please don't say Linux for dummies...) Thanks, Emilio

wireless fedora
by Samuel Teyemensah 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I have successfully installed fedora on some of my collegues laptops. However, the wireless devices on those laptops could not work. In fact I could not configure wireless on the machines most hp, acer and dell. Is it that fedora does not have wireless drivers for these laptops. if it has, then someone should help me out with the configuration of wireless network connections.

EventReport : FOSS Seminar at Mukah Polytechnic, Sarawak, Malaysia
by Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I was at Mukah, Sarawak on the last 22nd and 23rd June 2009 for a FOSS Seminar organized by a Polytechnic college there. The polytechnic invited speakers from OSCC-MAMPU and Eric (an OSCC-MAMPU staff, an OpenSuSE Ambassador, and also a contributor in Fedora Malaysia activities) invited me to tag along with him as a speaker. The event attendees were primarily lecturers and staff from Mukah Polytechnic itself, Kuching Polytechnic, and several nearby colleges. It was a 2 days event where the first day was mainly filled with talks related several FOSS topics: "What is FOSS", "Trends in FOSS world", "GNU/Linux", "Security in FOSS", "Interoperability – Making FOSS and Windows play nice", and "FOSS development tools". The second day was an install workshop of Fedora and OpenSuSE and introduction of several GNOME features to the attendees. Me and Eric take turns on the talks and workshop. full report here: http://blog.kagesenshi.org/2009/06/eventreport-foss-seminar-at-mukah.html pics yet to come -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃「あまのひかる」 Fedora Malaysia Contributor & Ambassador http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MohdIzharFirdaus http://blog.kagesenshi.org 92C2 B295 B40B B3DC 6866 5011 5BD2 584A 8A5D 7331

Which means that there are no "official" stickers but one has to make a set by themselves?

Braden, welcome to the Fedora Project! It was great to see that you're also from Kitchener, where I am from too! I've lived in the US for about 15 years now, but get back there a couple times a year. You might also be interested in joining the Fedora Ambassadors team (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors) Its good to see more folks from Canada joining. We're trying to grow the presence in Canada, so there is lots of opportunity if you want to get more involved.

Putting the ON in OSCON
by Larry Cafiero 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hey, all -- Well, our number on the waiting list came up and now we're eligible for a dot-org table at OSCON, which I've already notified the folks there that we'd accept. We are at T24 on the attached map. While I update everything that needs updating, I understand that there is no electricity or connectivity unless we pay extra for it. I'm currently looking into that facet of the equation, so to speak, but wanted to ping folks about how they feel about that (which, frankly, I'm not crazy about -- maybe next year they'll charge for air and water . . . but I digress). Anyway, more to follow as soon as I return from the farmers market (sorry, it's Tuesday and farmers market day in Felton). Larry Cafiero Regional Ambassador, U.S. West Coast Fedora Project

F12: Orión
by bm90fox 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

No tengo idea si aun se puede proponer el nombre para F12, pero he reconsiderado y creo que un buen nombre e Orion: Este es el nombre de una constalacion. Lo elegí porque mitologicamente se trata del nombre de un gigante, un coloso en el espacio, el gran cazador, y considero que Fedora debe se así, colosal y brillar en lo alto. Otro aspecto que tuve en cuenta es que cuando uno ve en su zenit el cinturón de Orion, este lo orienta hacia el Norte, y lo que nos recuerda nuestra misión de orientar a lso usarios de informatica hacia Fedora. Espero les guste la sugerencia. -- Manuel E. Hidalgo Bello Fedora 10 (Cambridge) + Gnome 2.24.1 Fedora Ambassador Project Fedora Translation CVS Commit Group

Active per the Fedora Account System - which essentially means you've logged in and changed your password within the last 6 months. If you are inactive none of your fedora stuff (fedorapeople, email, wiki login, etc) will work either.

Inactive accounts
by Fabian Affolter 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hi all, For a while we keep an eye on the status of the accounts in the ambassadors group. A new run through the 'ambassadors' group in the FAS shows the following numbers. Accounts checked : 880 Inactive Accounts : 242 % inactive : 27.5 % Some old data: Sat May 30 15:22:49 2009 29.7328687573 % Mon May 4 21:40:17 2009 31.686746988 % Those are just numbers and only informative. Don't forget that you don't need an active FAS account to participate active in the ambassadors group. Kind regards, Fabian [1] https://fedorahosted.org/fama/

Report from Lauch Party at Managua, Nicaragua
by Neville A. Cross 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hello, I have ran a Launch Party as scheduled on the event page, I didn't report earlier because I am currently in the First Central American Free Software Convention. The event was a success in several ways. The most important achievement was to gather new faces. We were able to outreach the community in great part due some media coverage. A full report has been posted on the event page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v/Fedora_11_Release_Party I hope the Event Contest is still on!

(08:35:21 PM) inode0: giving pens away is easy, too easy, and that is sort of a problem with them (08:35:25 PM) davdunc: my quote was 52 cents for 2000 (08:35:32 PM) ***nb thinks pens are a good idea but doesn't know what our budget is like (08:35:41 PM) inode0: this is a pretty good price (08:35:49 PM) davdunc: each, of course. :-) (08:35:52 PM) inode0: yes (08:36:01 PM) nb: I can't look at the wikipage I'm on my phone right now (08:36:06 PM) inode0: these are 11 cents each below that (08:36:26 PM) inode0: we don't really have the budget in any shape to look at anyway (08:36:27 PM) Grantbow_: good bang for the buck marketing investment (08:36:28 PM) davdunc: less expensive is better in my book. (08:36:45 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: yeah, I'm worried that while I said it was a 2 color logo, the vendor didn't recognize that, but it'll come out in the proofs. (08:37:04 PM) inode0: there is almost nothing this Q left for events though so we should have some funds (08:37:51 PM) inode0: could I hear from any other regional ambassadors on this? (08:38:30 PM) VileGent: herlo could report on the fad (08:39:00 PM) herlo: Am I ready yet? http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/art/fedora_four_fs_vertical_banner_330x800.png (08:39:06 PM) ***lcafiero had two clients come in as the meeting started, but he'll comment on Q2 once he catches up (08:39:32 PM) lcafiero: I'll yield to the senator from Utah (08:39:39 PM) StabbyMc: pens on the budget (08:39:45 PM) ***inode0 would like comments about pen acquisition if you and herlo have any thoughts on those (08:40:01 PM) herlo: I like them (08:40:07 PM) lcafiero: ? (08:40:46 PM) StabbyMc: http://www.customink.com/designs/fedora1/13188748-2800869/share/?cm_mmc=sha… (08:40:51 PM) StabbyMc: lcafiero --^ (08:40:59 PM) lcafiero: inode0: when you say Q above, do you mean Q1 or Q2? (08:41:00 PM) inode0: crossbytes: sorry, I missed your question - we don't have any yet - discussing getting some (08:41:20 PM) crossbytes: ok (08:41:26 PM) inode0: Q1 is over and done with (08:41:45 PM) inode0: Q2 has OSB and NECC and OSCON left (08:41:51 PM) lcafiero: Got it. Thanks. (08:41:52 PM) inode0: and MLS (08:42:01 PM) ***lcafiero looks at calendar for once (08:42:12 PM) inode0: OSB and NECC we aren't doing much I don't think (08:42:19 PM) inode0: OSCON is hazy (08:42:35 PM) inode0: Any news from OSCON? (08:43:01 PM) inode0: lcafiero is a journalist - I'm putting him down as liking pens (08:43:01 PM) lcafiero: OSCON may not be a go. We're on a waiting list for a table at the dot-org pavilion, second in line. (08:43:21 PM) lcafiero: pens = +1 (08:43:29 PM) inode0: Question (08:43:40 PM) inode0: if we do get a table is that free or is there some fee? (08:43:44 PM) lcafiero: free (08:44:01 PM) inode0: ok, so if we get that we just send all our swag to you (08:44:12 PM) Grantbow_: no electricity or network but it's a free booth (08:44:23 PM) scramer: ? (08:44:30 PM) lcafiero: Grantbow_ is correct (08:44:40 PM) inode0: swell, do you know what electric and network costs? (08:44:52 PM) Grantbow_: minimum electricity is about $250 (08:44:55 PM) lcafiero: What was it, $400 or something? (08:45:06 PM) Grantbow_: network is $400 for the first IP and $250 for additional even with NAT (08:45:14 PM) lcafiero: Right, that was it. (08:45:19 PM) inode0: OSCON of all places should not play these games (08:45:27 PM) lcafiero: True. (08:45:29 PM) Grantbow_: economic tightening (08:45:38 PM) Grantbow_: it was free in years past I heard (08:45:54 PM) lcafiero: I believe Grantbow_ is right (08:45:57 PM) VileGent: sounds like a union convention center (08:46:09 PM) inode0: even if it isn't free calling it a free booth is sort of scamlike (08:46:11 PM) lcafiero: Anyway, quaid had an interesting idea if we don't have a table (08:46:11 PM) Grantbow_: yeah, McHenry Convention Center in San Jose (08:46:22 PM) lcafiero: quaid, white courtesy phone . . . . (08:46:58 PM) lcafiero: He and I were discussing it and he thought that maybe we could be somewhat nomadic about our appearance at OSCON. (08:47:16 PM) Grantbow_: stealth appearances? lol (08:47:49 PM) VileGent: fedora ambassadors shirt with backpack full of media (08:48:03 PM) Grantbow_: aha! (08:48:09 PM) ***herlo thinks backpacks would be cool for ambassadorkits (08:48:11 PM) lcafiero: Something like that. (08:48:19 PM) StabbyMc: Guerrilla marketing? (08:48:23 PM) ***lcafiero agrees with herlo (08:48:24 PM) herlo: que? (08:48:38 PM) ***inode0 imagines quaid rolling the event box behind lcafiero from booth to booth stealing the attention of the waiting crowds (08:49:07 PM) lcafiero: I thought I'd be in a monkey suit and quaid would have the hurdy gurdy, but I like inode0's idea better (08:49:35 PM) inode0: anyone ride a unicycle? throwing swag from atop one of those gets people's attention (08:49:42 PM) lcafiero: My daughter does. (08:49:54 PM) ***StabbyMc volunteers to pop out of the manholes throwing tatoos and pens at people. (08:50:12 PM) lcafiero: I'd pay to see that, StabbyMc (08:50:24 PM) ***inode0 can't imagine what they charge for a unicycle on the expo floor, probably thousands (08:50:32 PM) Grantbow_: lcafiero: Spartan battle dress? (08:50:46 PM) lcafiero: But OSCON's still a little up in the air, and there are a couple of folks I can still talk to in order to ping them about sharing a table, if there are no objections. (08:50:58 PM) inode0: sure, no objections (08:51:02 PM) lcafiero: true inode0 (08:51:09 PM) inode0: and the stealth presence sounds like a good backup (08:51:18 PM) lcafiero: I'll be updating on the mailing list. (08:51:28 PM) inode0: herlo: take it away (08:51:46 PM) inode0: http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/art/fedora_four_fs_vertical_banner_330x800.png (08:51:46 PM) herlo: w00t (08:51:51 PM) inode0: let's return to this (08:51:52 PM) herlo: right, thx inode0 (08:52:17 PM) herlo: so I need someone to take on the ordering of the retractable banners for the eventbox (08:52:45 PM) inode0: do you have a contact/company? (08:52:48 PM) herlo: technically, the banner will fit in the eventbox if we use a 24" banner size, but there was some disagreement about it (08:52:49 PM) inode0: or just artwork? (08:53:07 PM) herlo: inode0: no, just artwork, though I did do some research and found a good price online for about $300 (08:53:10 PM) herlo: per (08:53:20 PM) lcafiero: and we're looking at two, right? (08:53:25 PM) inode0: three (08:53:26 PM) herlo: which means if we did 4 banners, that's $1200 (08:53:30 PM) herlo: haha (08:53:36 PM) herlo: we can start small (08:53:38 PM) inode0: or four, but at least three (08:53:41 PM) lcafiero: I thought we had two event boxes (08:53:45 PM) inode0: three (08:53:53 PM) lcafiero: Oh. (08:54:01 PM) herlo: lcafiero: the East one was launched this weekend by VileGent (08:54:01 PM) lcafiero: Who has the third? (08:54:06 PM) herlo: :) (08:54:09 PM) lcafiero: Right, and I have one (08:54:11 PM) lcafiero: Ah. (08:54:13 PM) herlo: hehe (08:54:17 PM) herlo: and inode (08:54:17 PM) inode0: I bought the 2nd with leftover funds a while back (08:54:19 PM) lcafiero: Those dang mountaineers (08:54:30 PM) lcafiero: in the mountain states (08:54:32 PM) inode0: it should make its debut at the summit (08:54:34 PM) VileGent: mountaineers?? (08:54:41 PM) herlo: kk, so anyone interested in taking this on, getting a PO through max and getting them into the eventbox setup?? (08:54:42 PM) lcafiero: rocky mountains (08:55:01 PM) herlo: I'll be uploading the tiff and sla files to my fp.o site this vary evening :) (08:55:33 PM) inode0: herlo: if you say it will only take 5 minutes to do I find that works :) (08:56:07 PM) herlo: well, it'll take a bit longer than that, but probably not more than an hour (08:56:11 PM) crossbytes: what kind of warrenty on retraction device? (08:56:16 PM) herlo: the upload is kind of large (08:56:26 PM) VileGent: i say lets get 2 now and wait till next year for the other 2 (08:56:27 PM) herlo: crossbytes: dunno, the one I looked at was 1yr (08:56:28 PM) ianweller: oh look, meeting (08:56:40 PM) herlo: ianweller: hai! (08:56:41 PM) inode0: we have three boxes, why get four? (08:56:42 PM) lcafiero: where? (08:56:54 PM) inode0: and why leave one box without one? (08:56:57 PM) herlo: inode0: wasn't suggesting 4, just saying that if we bought 4 it'd be $1200 (08:57:09 PM) ***inode0 was responding to VileGent (08:57:12 PM) VileGent: the east coast will gladly take the existing banner (08:57:45 PM) herlo: heh, these are *way* better (08:57:47 PM) inode0: ok, let's see about getting someone to do it (08:57:50 PM) herlo: kk (08:57:53 PM) inode0: that comes first (08:58:07 PM) inode0: without that we don't get any :( (08:58:29 PM) VileGent: herlo i wasnt too impressed with the one you showed me at self (08:58:30 PM) inode0: this is the chance someone has been waiting for (08:58:35 PM) inode0: to make a difference (08:58:49 PM) inode0: to contribute something that many people will benefit from (08:59:19 PM) inode0: being an ambassador isn't all glamour, there is some dirty work too :) (08:59:35 PM) davdunc: what needs to be done here, just find the right price and order them? (08:59:35 PM) ***VileGent my hands in too many pots (09:00:21 PM) VileGent: hmmm where are our new ambassadors (09:00:32 PM) ***nb is here (09:00:49 PM) herlo: VileGent: what one I showed?

(09:13:32 PM) herlo: thanks nb (09:13:59 PM) herlo: nb: as I mentioned above 24" is a decent price, but most retractable banners are around 36" wide (09:14:00 PM) davdunc: thanks nb (09:14:06 PM) inode0: and if there aren't repeating setup fees, we might get one to make sure it is happy in the event boxes before ordering the rest (09:14:17 PM) nb: ok (09:15:09 PM) inode0: Seeing nothing else on the agenda let's move to Open Floor for any remaining items?

FAmNA Meeting Summary from 2009-06-16
by inode0 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

* Announcements - inode0 reminds everyone this is the last week to vote in the current Fedora elections and encourages everyone who hasn't to do so now. - VileGent and StabbyMc report on SELF and the Docs FAD, both were huge successes. SELF was also the debut appearance of the East Coast Event Box thanks to the efforts of VileGent. Fedora tattoos and case badges also made their public debut at SELF and were popular items at the booth. * Events [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents] - Montreal Linux Symposium djf_jeff needs to get budget request for this in before the end of June to avoid a price hike in anticipated fees. - OSCON lcafiero and quaid continue working to try to acquire a booth for this event and have developed a backup plan if that doesn't work out. We are currently 2nd in line on a waiting list for an org booth. - Red Hat Summit / JBossWorld inode0 reports some progress with Red Hat Summit planning including more Fedora people confirmed as attendees, Red Hat helping with the arrangements to deliver Fedora on USB sticks to all attendees, and Fedora has a confirmed booth in the expo. The schedule of sessions was released and unfortunately Fedora did not get much in the way of speaker slots in the regular conference tracks. So we will have to rock the campground! - OLF VileGent has made much progress getting the groundwork for OLF in place early. The Fedora booth is confirmed. Free electric was made available to the first 12 .org's who requested it and VileGent got Fedora #1 on that list. There is also a webpage for this event now containing attendee and budget information. - Central Pennsylvania Open Source Conference DemonJester reports by proxy that he has contacted the organizers of this event and is working to arrange the Fedora booth now. * Budget Review [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget] - inode0 requests that someone create the template for our Q2 budget on the wiki and davdunc volunteers (and completes the task before the topic changes in the meeting!) - DemonJester reports by proxy that splatter t-shirts are waiting for the final art proof before the order is finished up. (This happened later in the week so the t-shirts with the new design are coming to us soon.) - StabbyMc reports that he has twisted the arm of a vendor and arranged a deal on Fedora branded pens (Bic Clic Stick) at a cost of about 41 cents per pen. These will be white barrels with blue trim and have the Fedora logo on the barrel. Sentiment from all was to try to get some of these for general swag distribution. - herlo brings us up to date on the acquisition of new banners for the event boxes. Most of the work on this is complete but herlo requests that someone else volunteer to finish up this task and get them ordered. nb volunteers as the lead to finish this up with the assistance of other ambassadors who have experience with the acquisition process. * Tasks [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks] - no report * Open Floor - inode0 thanks everyone who is stepping up to make things happen in NA. The growth in the number of ambassadors doing the legwork to improve our presence at events large and small is really helping us move forward. I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.

CD / DVD stickers needed
by ElectroMech 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

@susmit Can I get only stickers for DVD and CD. Because every time at least from fedora9, we print dvd stickers 2000 quantity. Now I have around Fedora 9 stickers 700 no. and Fedora 10 750 no. with me. So I am looking if I can get around 500 / 1000 stickers for DVD and CD. ( Even I am ready to pay cost ). The stickers cost me maximum Rs. 2 / piece. Thanks waiting for reply. -- Nilesh Vaghela ElectroMech Redhat Channel Partner and Training Partner Ahmedabad: 404,Maulik Arcad,Nr.

brief FAMSCO update
by Max Spevack 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Ambassadors, Just wanted to let you all know that due to significant other busyness in Fedora (several FAMSCo members preparing for FUDCon Berlin, and one having exams), we haven't had an official FAMSCo meeting for the last two weeks, but that doesn't mean that FAMSCo is dead or not acting. We've seen a tremendous amount of progress on mentoring, verification, etc. from both Joerg and Susmit, and I am grateful for their leadership and vision. I continue to work with the budget teams worldwide to ensure that Ambassadors have the resources that they need -- it's shaping up to be a particuarly exciting quarter in North America from that perspective. We'll be resuming our regular FAMSCo meetings soon, with regular agendas and progress. It's just a busy stretch for several of us. Thank you, and as always, please never hesitate to let me know about the issues that concern you. --Max

New Membership Process for the Ambassador Group!
by Joerg Simon 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Dear Ambassadors, as a result from discussions, suggestions and concerns that we had in the last weeks to work on a better Ambassador Membership Experience for all new and "old" Ambassadors [1], FAmSCo decided for a new Ambassador Membership Process in the meeting from Jun-04-2009. We decided against more formal barriers! The Mentors are now the Key-Role to find out, one is ready or not. FAmSCo is thrilled to announce the new Joining Process: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Join This decission by a Mentor is - and should be - a personal, subjective decission. Listed Mentors are invited by FAmSCo and well trusted, we have no further bureaucratic controls established for the Mentors! You can find the List of regional Ambassador Mentors and their availability here! https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Join#Find_regional_Ambassador_Me… Why FAmA keeps the Sponsoring Role? Because, we have certain other requirements, especially the Mailing List Membership, and as example we want not make all Mentors ML-Admins to control this step. We have Ambassadors in the Sponsorship Queue who will join through the "old" Process in the next days. But from today Jun-09-2009 we start we the new Process!

I totally agree with Neville. Let us send notice to all ambassadors. And I guess even if an ambassador cannot provide with an exact address due to personal reasons he/she can atleast specify the region. It won't hurt as we are already aware of countries. It should be done as soon as possible. -- Aditya Patawari http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adimania Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra India

About the mentoring process (Was: Re: [Ambassadors] Question about Approval.)
by Mathieu Bridon 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, > FAmSCo recently enacted a new sponsorship and mentoring process. > Unfortunately this process is very new, and so there may be a bit of > lag on the part of mentors. Also it's important to keep in mind that > the people who are mentors are typically busy to begin with but we set > timelines we have to meet to communicate with you, so don't worry it > will happen, just may take some time. About that, I suppose there is a procedure for accepting new mentors, but I can't find it. Are they appointed by FAmSCo after years of good and loyal service ? I'm not saying that I myself feels suited to be a mentor. :) However, if the mentorship process is new, and mentors are few, then they might easily get swamped. Particularly in LATAM / EMEA, where we have very active communities, I'm surprised to see only one / two mentors (and I'm sure there are competent enough people to fulfill the role). All I could find is: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mentors/NewMentors However, this seems to relate to the more general Mentors program, not the Ambassadors mentors: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mentors (the list of people on this page is totally different from the list of people on the Ambassadors/Join page, so I guess the 2 are not related) Regards, ---------- Mathieu Bridon (bochecha)

EMEA Event Box
by Yaakov Nemoy 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hey List, After some discussion, Alex C. and i would like to put together the first EMEA Event Box. I've talked to Max and he's OKed it from a budget and shipping perspective. If there is another one in the works, it may not be a bad thing to have two floating around in any case. The timeline is to plan it out over the next couple of weeks and come up with a good idea of what we want to put in it between now and LinuxTag. We plan on debuting it at Hacking At Random 2009, where we will likely need many of the components in it. Here's a tentative list of things we will want to put on it. Anything with an asterix next to it is something that would be very helpful to have at HAR. Box * Projector * Projector Screen * Video Camera * Wireless Router (Preferably running Linux) * A handful of CDs to make booths look pretty USB sticks with the latest up to date respins of all the LiveCD isos. Stickers galore Some Tshirts A Fedora branded party tent * UTP Cable UTP crimper (?) Packet of leaflets to handout XO (?) And we'll probably go through the list of odds and ends that are on the wiki for the other two event boxes, things such as pens, banners, hooks, etc... Any comments? -Yaakov

Fedora Branded Tents
by Yaakov Nemoy 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hey List (again), For those of you who like camping or just spending time outside, i'm looking into doing Fedora branded tents. Since custom work like this can be done better in bulk or bulkish, i'm curious to see if anyone else has an interest in this. There are a number of regular outdoor events in the summer in Europe, so i think that having at least one high quality tent would be a good idea. If other people want to get in on the out door action or just like having Fedora branded schwag we might have a bit of a market for this. Here's what i'm looking to do. Firstly, we need a decent sized party tent. Our estimates for HAR are about 20 m2 total space, which we can achieve with either two square or one rectangle tents. I'm looking for white ones so we can put the Fedora logo on the top, but since Dutch summers are rainy, the top will probably be covered up by a tarp. I'm also thinking of getting a wall to wrap around the tent with the Fedora logo on it, and if we just get a logo on that, any generic white tent may do for us. With the tarp on, the wall will be more visible anyways. The second thing is a bit more pie in the sky. I would like to get a Fedora branded camping tent to pimp around when i go camping. I know several other Fedora Contributors are happy campers too, so i'm pretty sure we could figure out something. A brief search online ago i found some places that only do these sorts of things in mass bulk (1000+). If i can find something with far less quantity (maybe 10-100 max), would there be interest in buying Fedora branded tents or in general, basically at cost + shipping, which would hopefully not be more than 100 USD or EUR? (I will also keep my eyes open for quantities <10 so if you really wanted that Fedora camping tent, i may have something available anyways.) Any Comments? -Yaakov

Fedora 11 Release Party in Hanoi, Vietnam
by Truong Anh Tuan 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Dear my friends at Fedora Ambassadors et all, The Release Party was taken in Hanoi, Vietnam. It was really good with beer, coffee, tee, bread, etc. and a Fedora cake. About 30 people in the community (HanoiLUG), SMEs, etc. and even a man from our ministry of science and technology were attended. In a short presentation, my staff presented some new features of Fedora 11, especially related to security and performance. Of course, the innovative view of Fedora is also discussed much. Everyone got a LiveCD and I believe that they would try it immediately. Please see some pictures at: http://picasaweb.google.com/iwayvietnam/Fedora11ReleaseParty Hope to see all Release parties allover the world.

Let's avoid the McDonaldization of FUDCons
by Yaakov Nemoy 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Hey List, As you can probably tell, i'm not actually being that serious here. I was talking to Max briefly about how we try to provide the same t-shirt design each year at FUDCons in order to deliver consistency, and to make sure that people feel like they are working on a global scale. The downside is that we essentially are 'McDonaldizing' FUDCon. Here's an idea. At each FUDCon we do something that's part of the local tradition. Max pointed out that last year at Brno, there was a Czech language lesson. I'm trying to think of something we can do for this year's FUDCon, aside from giving presentations in German. Any thoughts? Any crazy German or Berliner traditions we should do? -Yaakov

From the desk of Jim Whitehurst...
by Paul W. Frields 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

http://press.redhat.com/2009/06/11/fedora-11-%e2%80%93-wow/ The URL above links to a wonderful note from Jim Whitehurst, President and CEO of Red Hat, congratulating the community on the release of Fedora 11. I think it's fantastic that Fedora gets such solid support from the very top ranks at Red Hat, directly on the company's press site. One thing that is always in the back of my head, as we work through all the various release bits, is that I know on release day Red Hat's CEO -- just like thousands of other people -- is going to download Fedora and take it for a ride. Although Jim singled out some specific areas in his blog that immediately impressed him about Fedora 11, from our phone conversations I know that he's very proud of the work every team in Fedora does. He is genuinely passionate about Fedora, and that's due to *your* superb efforts as part of our large extended family of contributors. Thanks to all of you for making this release such an incredible experience. I hope you enjoy Fedora 11 too, and I'm very excited about working with all of you on Fedora 12! -- Paul W.

Fedora 11 on Nicaraguan newspaper
by Neville A. Cross 11 Jun '09

I am jumping of happiness because I squeezed a note about upcoming Fedora 11 Launch on a Nicaraguan newspaper. "El Nuevo Diario" has country wide coverage, and it has a Sunday section for IT. http://impreso.elnuevodiario.com.ni/2009/06/06/informatica/103013 For those that don't speak Spanish, the article goes about the upcoming launch, the user mass that reached Fedora 10, some examples of local busines and NGO's using Fedora and inviting for the release party. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v/Fedora_11_Release_Party This event has been already posted on fedora's wiki. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217

Hello Ladies and Gentleman, times goes fast and so it's not months if Linuxtag [1] will open his gates for approx. 12'000 visitors in 4 days. As you mostly know, Fedora has -as every year- a strong presence at the exhibition. Infos for thus who missed every announcement since today (*bg*) can be found here [2]. Also the FUDCon EMEA [3] for which we have right more than 130 pre-registered attendees will happen aside to Linuxtag. If you plan to meet a VIP or a member of Fedora Project have a look at the attending persons at [4]; and last but not least have a look into our talks at [5]! Btw. if somebody needs a eTicket for free entrance (and is not assigned as booth staff by me); I'm in the lucky position to grant you that; if you let me know ... Please do so in the right time! -- Regards Gerold Kassube Fedora Ambassador in Deutschland / Germany Schweiz / Switzerland FAS-Number: 10 Email: GeroldKa(a)fedoraproject.org 1024D/F33128B9 4ABC A903 F1F4 D9CC C422 AACA EDF1 DF42 F331 28B9 [1] http://www.linuxtag.org/2009/ [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/LinuxTag/LinuxTag2009 [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDConBerlin2009 [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Berlin_2009_attendees [5] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_Berlin_and_LinuxTag_2009_talks

EMEA Ambassadors meeting on June 10
by Max Spevack 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi EMEA ambassadors, We'll be holding our more-or-less-every-other-week meeting this coming Wednesday at 2000 UTC (2200 CEST). We're pretty early in the quarter, so I'd like to cover the status of upcoming events (including FUDCon & LinuxTag), and figure out what kind of swag needs exist in the region. In some cases, we might have some extra swag at the end of FUDCon that we can get to folks, and in other cases I'd like to make some decisions thta enable local Ambassadors to make some of the things that they need, and then get reimbursed. So come to the meeting, and let's get a sense of the things that consider important as we get into the summer, and make sure everyone has what they need. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Meetings/2009-06-10 Feel free to add anything you like to the agenda. --Max

Dear All, Sorry for my absence these previous weeks but due to personal reasons I was really busy. Bert, Could you post on the Fedora mailing list the log of our last IRC meeting if you have not already done it ? Thanks. For Brucon, I sent you my position on the Fedora ambassadors mailing list. Vincent, Have you answer to the questions concerning the Fedora Web Site ? Do you need help ? * Before, I leave our IRC Meeting last time, we talked about a Belgian Summer event in July at Gent ? We defined it will take place the first week of July. So, does someone have much details ??? For your information, I have contacted the Belgian JBoss User Group in order to work together as I already did it with our Belgian Friends of CentOS and OLPC. OK, it is not Linux but it is always Open Source. In addition, Jboss will be integrated more and more deeper in the next release of Fedora. Now, I am going to plan another Belgian IRC Meeting before the end of this week. If I missed something, please accept my apologies.

yesterday I heard for the first time about brucon (http://brucon.org) (thx to inode0). Because it looks like a really interesting conference, I think it would be cool to be there with some other fedora people. If there are enough Fedora people, I will also try to set up a booth there. please note that I am not yet sure if a booth will be possible, the organisation asked me to join them in their next crew meeting. When a booth would be possible, maybe we could share one with the CentOS team. If you are planning to come, please check this page (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BRUCON2009) on the Fedora wiki

Bragging on NA for a moment
by David Nalley 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Hey guys, Just wanted to take a moment to share some of the awesome work that has been happening from some of our relatively new Ambassadors in NA. Adam Miller has been tearing up his college with talks about and promoting Fedora on his campus. He is also doing a ton of other work within Fedora David Duncan has taken over and accomplished a project I started wanting to make happen 9 months ago - tattoos. You can see an example on the planet now. David Thomas took the initiative with case badges and they are in the process of being shipped. This is another one of those projects that like tattoos has long been on our todo list. I am really thrilled that these guys, even though they are relatively new, are taking ownership of some of these things and making things happen.

Fedora 11 and Ext4: The Straight Bits
by Jack Aboutboul 09 Jun '09

09 Jun '09

Read the complete interview here: http://jaboutboul.blogspot.com/2009/06/fedora-11-and-ext4-straight-bits.html Let's face it--We're addicted! To files that is. More importantly, we are addicted to the massively large and ever increasing storage devices upon which we store those files. Make no mistake though, like any addiction, storing content comes at a cost and usually those costs are paid at the filesystem level. We all want more space and we all want better performance when it comes to disk I/O and a junkie's wishlist never ends. Fedora 11, when released tomorrow, will be the first distribution to boast the inclusion of ext4, the latest incarnation in the extended file system family, as default. Ext4 brings with it support for larger filesystems, larger single file size and many improvements in almost every imaginable facet. Join me for an interview with Eric Sandeen, renown file system hacker, Red Hat Engineer and Fedora Contributor as he takes on a little trip down Filesystem Alley and explains what filesystems are, where did they come from, why should we care and why they along with Fedora 11 are prepping to take over the WOOOOORLD!

I'd like to point out that Alexander Chalikiopoulos has taken the initiative to promote Fedora at AID, the freshman orientation week in Wageningen this year, in conjunction with WURLUG, the local university LUG. Good work all around :) -Yaakov

LiveCD Vs. DVD
by Neville A. Cross 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

I am planning an event in Managua, Nicaragua. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v/Fedora_11_Release_Party I will produce about 100 discs for this event. But I need advice on which will be a good mix for this 100 discs. What is the experience in what people request? 60 DVD and 40 LiveCD? 50-50? By the way, I was promised by a Nicaraguan news an article on the Fedora 11 release and one mention for the Launch event. I will post about if the keep their promise. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217

Plans for Monday and Release Day
by Jack Aboutboul 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Hello All, Cross posting this to a couple of lists, so that we can mobilize as many people on the ground as possible. Tuesday is sure to be a very big day for all of us. I'm gonna try and lay out some of the activities that are being planned for Monday, to build buzz, and then for Tuesday, release day. If you have any comments, of course, please reply. *Monday, 15:00 UTC Time, 10:00AM Eastern Time * Start releasing some media, including a couple of interviews and the Fedora 11 Tour, which can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_tour I need a volunteer to submit it to the various social news sites, and then I will follow up and coordinate with people to digg it/pick it up/tag it, etc. **It is important that we all put in effort to take a couple minutes to participate in these things, because alot of effort goes into posting this stuff up and if we don't do it, its a tremendous missed opportunity to build buzz.** For all those involved in the News Distribution Network, or if you want to be involved, please help spread these around to sites in your native language and add news source to the list linked of the main page. A list is here is linked off the main page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_news_distribution_network *Tuesday, 15:00 UTC Time, 10:00AM Eastern Time *Fedora 11 is released. Fedora News Distribution Network guys are supposed to spring into action. We have a press archive set up at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/PressArchive/F11 If you come across something interesting, whether in english, or whatever language is your preference, please feel free to add it there. This will be a great resource is tracking what press coverage looks like on release day, and the in the days afterwards, when people finally get F11 installed and up and running. Also, for the marketing and ambassadors teams, will be on irc all day long in #fedora-mktg, in constant contact, posting whatever we find on the net and paying attention to conversations taking place so that we can counteract as much FUD as possible. For anyone doing that, please be courteous in your replies, we are all representatives of the community and there is no reason to get involved in flame wars. Please add stuff, as I am sure there is more stuff to do. Otherwise, I wish everyone a good weekend and look forward to Tuesday which is going to be an awesome day. Jack

FAmNA Meeting Summary from 2009-06-02
by inode0 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

* Announcements - Town Halls and elections for the Fedora Board and FESCo are approaching. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2009-June/msg00015.ht… * Request for new Fedora Splatter t-shirts - This was overwhelming approved and Demonjester will again work with the manufacturer and get back to FAmNA with details as soon as they are available. * Events [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents] - Montreal Linux Symposium djf_jeff inquired about conference fees for this event, ke4qqq requested a conference page be put on the wiki with the budget needed since it exceeded a trivial amount. It appears there is a steep hike in the fee after June so this needs resolution and quick payment if it is approved. - OSCON lcafiero and quaid filled us in on initial thinking about this event. Details about some of the expected costs next meeting with luck. - Red Hat Summit / JBossWorld inode0 discussed ideas related to the Summit. quaid and others offered help with provisioning USB sticks and generally moving planning forward. - OLF DemonJester and VileGent took ownership of the Ohio LinuxFest. * Budget Review [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget] - VileGent reports about the new east coast event box and is approved to get the rest of the bits it needs for SELF. - inode0 reports getting 20,000 Fedora tattoos. - dthomasdigital reports getting the 5,000 case badges. * Tasks [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks] - no report * Open Floor - polos! ambassadors want polos! non-polo shirts! ambassadors want non-polo shirts! I would again like to thank all the participants, especially the new ambassadors joining us for the first time tonight.

F10 Media for Open Source Bridge
by John Poelstra 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Closing the loop on... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events#FY10_Q2_.28June_2009_-_August_2009.29 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OSBRIDGE_2009 There is no official exhibit hall or booth space so it is unclear what role Fedora can play beyond conference attedance. There was discussion on one of the conference lists about requesting some media (75 CDs) for the Hacker Lounge: http://opensourcebridge.org/2009/03/open-source-conference-prerequisite-1-s… as someone was ordering OpenSUSE media and thinking it would be nice to have install media for the other distros. I wanted to post here to make sure Matt or Larry were not already coordinating something. The event starts on June 17, 2009, so need to figure this out soon. Thanks, John

Just throwing this out for feedback. If there was enough interest within Russian Ambassadors, and no legal blockers. Not even sure of spins\ if any. Maybe the Russian Re-Mix could be offered as an option? Frank -- msn: frankly3d skype: frankly3d Mailing-List Reply to: Mailing-List Still Learning, Unicode where possible

Fedora 11: Raise thy Mighty... Finger?
by Jack Aboutboul 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

http://jaboutboul.blogspot.com/2009/06/fedora-11-raise-thy-might-finger.html Authentication is an aspect of computing which many take for granted. What's all the fuss? you think. Username, password and that's that. In the following Q&A session with Bastien Nocera, long time Fedora Contributor and Desktop Renaissance Man, we discover that when it comes to authentication, there is more than meets the finger! With fingerprint and other biometric authentication options gaining more popularity, its time to get more creative regarding their use. Many laptops have had built-in fingerprint readers for upwards of two years now and Fedora 11, thanks to Bastien and crew, does a solid job of making that option a viable one for Linux desktop user. How did we make this happen for Fedora 11? Will your Fedora laptop one day be able to authenticate you on the web using your finger? Will we ever get GNOME keyring to unlock using a fingerprint? What will Bastien work on next? All this and more if you keep reading below! Or above in this case...

(08:04:17 PM) ***djf_jeff will also be in and out (08:04:25 PM) inode0: There are Fedora Board and FESCo elections and town hall meetings in the very near future' (08:04:44 PM) inode0: I wish I could announce the town hall schedule but I'm not sure it is set yet (08:05:08 PM) inode0: The plan I saw was for two FESCo town halls tomorrow and two board town halls on the next day (08:05:46 PM) inode0: so I guess watch your mail closely if you are interested in attending a town hall meeting (08:05:50 PM) ke4qqq: inode0: that is the proposed schedule (08:06:14 PM) inode0: ke4qqq: it seems a little late to stick to it at this point to me (08:06:33 PM) inode0: but we'll just have to wait for the official announcement (08:06:59 PM) inode0: any other announcements for anyone else? (08:07:30 PM) inode0: Request for new Fedora Splatter t-shirts (08:07:38 PM) inode0: ianweller: ping (08:08:04 PM) inode0: I am proposing we use ianweller's design for the next batch of t-shirts to give away at events (08:08:13 PM) ke4qqq: +1 from me (08:08:18 PM) VileGent: +1 (08:08:24 PM) jrdavis: +1 (08:08:25 PM) inode0: black shirts with the splatter design (08:08:31 PM) crossbytes: +1 (08:08:41 PM) DemonJester: +1 (08:08:47 PM) ninjazjb: +1 (08:08:48 PM) lcameron: +1 (08:08:53 PM) comraderaikov: +1 ? (08:08:59 PM) djf_jeff: +1 (08:09:04 PM) inode0: seems pretty popular with everyone (08:09:13 PM) comraderaikov: not sure if i like it but whatever (08:09:31 PM) inode0: DemonJester: you know anything about what needs to be done to make it happen? (08:09:52 PM) ke4qqq: comraderaikov: dissension is ok (08:10:00 PM) inode0: comraderaikov: you can vote -1 but you lose this vote :) (08:10:09 PM) DemonJester: I have already contacted the tshirt supplier for pricing on black shirts and the new layout. Just waiting to hear back from them (08:10:42 PM) DemonJester: it looks like the splatter design would be 6 colors on black or 5 colors on white (08:11:04 PM) inode0: I definitely think black is the best base color (08:11:36 PM) jrdavis: I agree, it keeps with the fedora themes well. (08:11:49 PM) dthomasdigital: Just as long as we have extra large (not that I need that size) ;) (08:11:50 PM) DemonJester: we would obviously have a setup / layout fee to deal with for the new design but I will have to wait to here back from them on the multi-color pricing. (08:11:58 PM) inode0: we have discussed it with spevack already so he is prepared that it might come in a bit higher than last time (08:12:32 PM) DemonJester: we looking about the same amount as last time? (08:12:41 PM) DemonJester: shirt qty wise (08:12:56 PM) inode0: I'd say as many as we can afford, at least 300 (08:13:19 PM) DemonJester: we ordered 300 last time. Let me get pricing for that amount and we can go from there (08:13:33 PM) ke4qqq: I think 280 is the pricebreak (08:13:44 PM) DemonJester: 279 to be exact ;-) (08:13:50 PM) inode0: right, we have some lower color options with the same basic design if this is too expensive (08:13:55 PM) ***lcafiero sneaks into the back and sits down. (08:14:40 PM) inode0: but I think we need to pay the price to make ianweller famous (08:15:05 PM) DemonJester: that's all I have for now. (08:15:15 PM) inode0: ok, any other comments? (08:15:31 PM) inode0: we'll get an update by next meeting I expect (in two weeks) (08:15:46 PM) DemonJester: if not before on the ml (08:15:58 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents (08:16:21 PM) inode0: It is ask for money night, is anyone prepared to ask for money? (08:16:36 PM) ***inode0 waves hand timidly (08:16:56 PM) DemonJester: q2 or q3? (08:17:08 PM) ***djf_jeff too (08:17:09 PM) inode0: either for sponsorship (08:17:16 PM) dthomasdigital: I'm ready for q3 (08:17:31 PM) inode0: mostly Q2 for regular event funds although including very early Q3 events (08:17:44 PM) dthomasdigital: I'm late q3 (08:17:44 PM) DemonJester: q3 here as well (08:18:01 PM) inode0: that is probably just the summit in Q3 that needs to be paid for in Q2 (08:18:12 PM) djf_jeff: more a question, I just want to know if the registration for MLS is paid? My employer cover the rest of the expense for the moment (08:18:47 PM) inode0: djf_jeff: no one has asked us for anything so we haven't done anything with respect to MLS (08:18:53 PM) inode0: but let's start with MLS (08:18:57 PM) inode0: what do you need? (08:19:34 PM) djf_jeff: I have a free place to stay, meat to eat, bus is paid, I think just the registration fee (08:19:56 PM) djf_jeff: my employer take care of all the cost except the registration (08:19:57 PM) inode0: what is that? we don't know any details I don't think (08:20:27 PM) ke4qqq: djf_jeff: do you need more than 100 bucks? (08:20:35 PM) djf_jeff: it's the montral linux symposium (08:21:05 PM) lcafiero: I'll bring up OSCON at the next meeting. (08:21:25 PM) ke4qqq: if you need more than 100 create a wiki page with your budget and send a link to it to the list (08:21:26 PM) djf_jeff: 395$ for registration (08:21:33 PM) inode0: lcafiero: can we talk about that one next a bit (doesn't need to be all firm tonight) (08:21:41 PM) ke4qqq: ok, we can cover that prolly (08:22:02 PM) inode0: do we get a booth? is there a cost for that? what are we doing there exactly? (08:22:56 PM) djf_jeff: it's for the Fedora presence in Quebec, it's the only expense for the conference, everything else is covered (08:23:00 PM) ke4qqq: djf_jeff: but please create us a wiki page with your budget and what we get - ie do we get a booth - how much is the booth. (08:23:29 PM) djf_jeff: fine, I will do that tomorrow (08:24:00 PM) inode0: If you are hosting a Mini-Summit or a tutorial you also do not pay for registration. <- I don't know what those things are but ... (08:24:21 PM) djf_jeff: I will try to talk with Andrew from the MLS for what we can really do to push Fedora there for maximum visibility (08:24:41 PM) djf_jeff: I was planning a FAD of some sort (08:25:13 PM) djf_jeff: Fedora presence in Canada is still small for the moment (08:25:21 PM) lcameron: I'll see if I can get my work to send me to MLS too (08:25:22 PM) ke4qqq: djf_jeff: cool - we'll be happy to help - just work up the numbers of a rough guess. (08:25:46 PM) djf_jeff: trying to build it slowly but surely (08:26:11 PM) inode0: yes, and talk to andrew for some guidance about what opportunities exist for us at the event (08:26:17 PM) djf_jeff: thank you, I will do that (08:27:25 PM) inode0: lcafiero: any thoughts tonight about OSCON generally - it is normally one of the largest conferences (08:29:41 PM) lcafiero: We'll be there. I have put in the paperwork for a table but haven't heard back from them yet. Since it's in San Jose, Karsten and I will probably commute, reducing travel costs. (08:30:05 PM) inode0: any ideas about other fedora folks going? (08:30:21 PM) lcafiero: I haven't figured out how much sponsorship and such will be just yet. (08:30:31 PM) lcafiero: Nor the personnel of who's going. (08:30:38 PM) inode0: still early (08:30:41 PM) lcafiero: (who's going? show of hands?) (08:30:52 PM) VileGent: -1 (08:31:05 PM) quaid: +1 (08:31:08 PM) inode0: I'm not overly interested in sponsoring OSCON personally (08:31:21 PM) crossbytes: +1? (08:31:27 PM) lcafiero: I think quaid has applied to present, true? (08:31:36 PM) quaid: lcafiero: I either forgot or was denied (08:31:41 PM) dthomasdigital: It's so expensive for an open source conference. (08:31:58 PM) DemonJester: -1 (08:32:00 PM) lcafiero: I know you were denied for linuxworld, oh sorry open source cough microsoft world (08:32:18 PM) quaid: yeah, I think I failed at OSCON this time or somethiing. (08:32:26 PM) inode0: I support going and having a great presence - I'm just personally more inclined to sponsor more community driven events (08:32:36 PM) lcafiero: oh, I thought it was opensource world. (08:32:37 PM) quaid: inode0: how do you mean about not sponsoring? I.e., not being a "silver sponsor"? (08:32:48 PM) lcafiero: Yeah, I don't think it's the same as sponsoring LFNW. (08:32:51 PM) quaid: inode0: ah (08:32:54 PM) inode0: quaid: I don't want to give ORA $1,000 to spend however they want (08:32:58 PM) lcafiero: OSCON has O'Reilly behind it. (08:33:13 PM) quaid: lcafiero: my talk was denied for OSW, I failed to send a request to OSCON, iirc (08:33:27 PM) lcafiero: Oh, got it. Thanks, quaid. (08:33:35 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: so there is going to be no OSB presence? (08:33:59 PM) VileGent: I will contact OLF to get the info about getting a table (08:34:02 PM) inode0: there will be attendees from Fedora (08:34:22 PM) DemonJester: ! about OLF as well when everyone is done (08:34:48 PM) lcafiero: if poelcat is here, he could elaborate on his e-mail to f-a-l, but my understanding is that there is no "exhibit" per se at OSB. (08:34:49 PM) quaid: ke4qqq: stickster_afk is talking at OSB, iirc (08:34:53 PM) inode0: quaid: was I clear with you? I totally support funding Fedora at OSCON (08:34:54 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: if you aren't going to use the event box at OSB - I at least need the banner for SELF (08:35:11 PM) quaid: inode0: yeah, I getcha; it was that slipper 'sponsoring' word (08:35:21 PM) lcafiero: We hadn't planned to use the event box for OSB, so I can send the banner. (08:35:41 PM) lcafiero: Do you need the box, ke4qqq? (08:37:03 PM) ke4qqq: lcafiero: perhpas lets talk after the meeting (08:37:32 PM) inode0: well, I am in something of the same boat with respect to the Summit (08:37:52 PM) inode0: very hard to nail down numbers 3 months out with little information (08:38:07 PM) inode0: here is what I think I know at this point (08:38:39 PM) inode0: Red Hat will provide USB sticks to all attendees that will be large enough, either 2GB or 4GB (08:39:02 PM) inode0: I'm trying to persuade them to let some of us pre-image them with Fedora before the event (08:39:15 PM) inode0: I don't think that is going well (08:39:28 PM) DemonJester: was just going to say that... (08:39:46 PM) inode0: So we may end up doing the usb station thing again which I did not really like last time (08:40:27 PM) inode0: But however that works out, everyone will have a USB stick that we can put Fedora on rather than distributing plastic (08:40:47 PM) inode0: Of course we'll still need media, but not a huge amount of it (08:40:58 PM) quaid: inode0: who are you working with to get Fedora on that? (08:41:05 PM) ***quaid smells an opportunity ... (08:41:26 PM) inode0: Paul and Max because no one is connecting me with the Red Hat peeps directly (08:41:38 PM) quaid: ruh roh, if they are having troubles ... (08:41:56 PM) quaid: I'll ask Paul for the inside baseball story, see if I can help ... (08:42:09 PM) inode0: well, the only trouble is getting the images pre-installed and that is a complication (08:42:27 PM) inode0: thanks (08:42:49 PM) inode0: There has been no indication the sticks will be Fedora branded this year and I'm assuming they won't be (08:43:18 PM) VileGent: i aint maning the table this year (08:43:23 PM) quaid: ah, it's a problem with pre-loading? (08:43:35 PM) quaid: how about we do it in advance (08:43:40 PM) inode0: quaid: if we have a company do it then it gets a real old image (08:43:52 PM) quaid: because of the lead time? (08:43:54 PM) inode0: so I want us to do it shortly before the event (08:44:06 PM) DemonJester: +1 (08:44:09 PM) inode0: that requires getting access to the sticks and so forth (08:44:10 PM) quaid: what if we send them around to everyone who volunteers, even if only 10 and I have to do 100, a month is a long time to do that. (08:44:28 PM) quaid: we can spin up a F11+updates etc. (08:45:13 PM) crossbytes: how many stick would we be looking at (08:45:15 PM) inode0: if we do it onsite as last year many people won't stop because of the crowd (08:45:37 PM) VileGent: we had alot stop last year (08:45:48 PM) inode0: a lot stopped but it wasn't 1500 (08:46:01 PM) VileGent: no it wasnt 1500 (08:46:09 PM) quaid: ha, you think there were 1500 attendees? (08:46:16 PM) ***quaid has no clue to be honest (08:46:20 PM) inode0: that is what Paul told me (08:46:25 PM) quaid: wow (08:46:27 PM) inode0: and I don't doubt it (08:46:32 PM) DemonJester: it was packed! (08:46:41 PM) quaid: I will then volunteer to make 150+ in the month ahead (08:46:46 PM) quaid: I have three USB ports on my machine :) (08:46:59 PM) DemonJester: I will help make them as well if we can get them (08:47:03 PM) VileGent: quiad are they on the same bus (08:47:08 PM) inode0: quaid: if you can help push the idea that we can get it done please help (08:47:13 PM) quaid: VileGent: probably :( (08:47:27 PM) quaid: VileGent: it's not speed, it's "I can make three at a time and not think about it as much" (08:47:41 PM) quaid: inode0: it was just soooooo disappointing last year (08:47:53 PM) inode0: I don't have expected numbers for this year but I'm pretty sure JBossWorld will bring more people than FUDcon did last year (08:48:02 PM) ***vwbusguy- is here (08:48:19 PM) quaid: inode0: oh, right, I forgot that ... yeah, topping 2K is possible, huh (08:48:39 PM) inode0: the economy will hurt, so I can't predict (08:49:01 PM) quaid: right, but even if attendance at both is off by 25%, that's still a ton (08:49:19 PM) inode0: yes, we should expect 1500 I think on the low side (08:50:13 PM) inode0: ok, let's think about how to handle the USB images outside the meeting - that needs some thought (08:50:46 PM) inode0: we can pay someone to do them fast, but I've heard bad things about doing that (08:51:29 PM) vwbusguy-: creating the imageas in the iso to put on USB, or creating the live USBs? (08:51:41 PM) crossbytes: if u do an f11 updates would u not have to give out 2 to every person? and what would the base image be? Gnome/kde Xfce4/lxde? (08:52:21 PM) vwbusguy-: crossbytes: inthe past we've given out the live CDs with GNOME (08:52:27 PM) inode0: vwbusguy-: having someone image the sticks with a fedora image we provide (08:52:50 PM) vwbusguy-: inode0: I might be able to help some with that (08:53:04 PM) vwbusguy-: I have several available USB ports at my house :-) (08:53:18 PM) inode0: that forces the image to be quite dated by Fedora standards and I've heard of lots of non-bootable sticks from these sorts of places (08:54:04 PM) inode0: let's table this, do some math later to see how many people we would need, then find out if Red Hat would cooperate with us to do it (08:54:33 PM) inode0: sounds like we can at least get some Fedora volunteers willing to do it (08:55:08 PM) inode0: I'd like to get Fedora branded pens for the conference bags (08:55:28 PM) inode0: that is the only unusual swag I had in mind for this event (08:56:49 PM) inode0: so one question is should I just produce for this event or try to do more? (08:57:38 PM) DemonJester: depends on what the pricing and budget looks like (08:57:40 PM) inode0: I think we'd be looking at 600-800 maybe for this event (08:58:44 PM) DemonJester: are they el-cheapo pens or the more stylish looking ones? (08:58:59 PM) inode0: cheap but good bic click sticks (08:59:15 PM) inode0: s/cheap/inexpensive (08:59:19 PM) dthomasdigital: Let me know if you find a good price on bags. (08:59:24 PM) DemonJester: cool... (08:59:42 PM) ***inode0 isn't pricing bags (08:59:49 PM) inode0: just pens to put into bags :) (09:00:19 PM) VileGent: dthomasdigital, talk to walmart or the closest gas station to the event to get them to donate a roll of plastic bags (09:00:31 PM) DemonJester: lol (09:00:42 PM) dthomasdigital: Need bags that can be silkscreened (09:01:07 PM) dthomasdigital: walmart bags might melt in the heaters lol (09:01:40 PM) herlo: dthomasdigital: I used someone called motivators in 2007 (09:01:44 PM) inode0: speakers - with the exception of DeHaan I haven't heard of any confirmed Fedora speakers (09:02:27 PM) DemonJester: I heard of a few that got denied.. (09:02:40 PM) inode0: yes, I got flushed (09:03:07 PM) dthomasdigital: herlo thanks I'll look them up (09:03:14 PM) herlo: they were pretty good (09:03:48 PM) inode0: that is all I have tonight on the summit (09:04:12 PM) inode0: any other event business? (09:04:19 PM) DemonJester: ! (09:04:25 PM) inode0: go (09:04:32 PM) DemonJester: In regards to OLf a few things. (09:04:54 PM) dthomasdigital: Don't forget November is fantastic in New Mexico would love to see you on the 14th. (09:05:24 PM) DemonJester: Do we have anyone on the ground to own this? It looks like a booth is $75 for the Non-Profit Expo or $500 for a Bronze Sponsor (09:05:54 PM) inode0: what else if anything does a bronze sponsor get? (09:06:18 PM) ke4qqq: lunch (09:06:28 PM) DemonJester: I believe we were in the non-profit section last year. Bronze gets you Expo Booth, Linsting in program guide and Link placement on website (09:06:34 PM) ke4qqq: though North Market is great and only a block away. (09:06:48 PM) DemonJester: s/Linsting/listing (09:06:50 PM) ke4qqq: DemonJester: I think we sponsored them last year - if we didn't I'd like to know what we spent 1700 on (09:07:12 PM) ***inode0 observes that the announcement is out and the 1st town hall is 10am eastern tomorrow morning (09:07:31 PM) DemonJester: There are other sponsor options so perhaps we did one of those http://ohiolinux.org/sponsor-application.html (09:08:13 PM) VileGent: DemonJester, the person that had taken care of this in the past is no longer around (09:08:40 PM) inode0: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2009-June/msg00015.ht… (09:08:56 PM) DemonJester: I guess what I am asking is if we dont have anyone locally to own this, I am really thinking about taking it, but I may need some $$ assistance to get there a little earlier. (09:10:52 PM) ***inode0 has no objection to sponsoring at the bronze level (09:11:04 PM) VileGent: DemonJester, if you get a table i will be there to help (09:11:21 PM) ***inode0 has no objection to DemonJester running this show (09:11:37 PM) arunava: well i have few connections in India.. they might join as sponsors..may be an expo booth or two.. (09:11:40 PM) inode0: others are going too (09:12:01 PM) DemonJester: VileGent: sounds good, we can burn images the whole event again ;-) (09:12:20 PM) VileGent: DemonJester, i have every year so far, (09:12:30 PM) inode0: how about you guys both own it? (09:12:47 PM) DemonJester: That works for me if VileGent is ok with it. (09:12:48 PM) arunava: :) (09:12:51 PM) inode0: and figure out what we want for us :) (09:12:54 PM) VileGent: also karlie robinson is suppose to be coming and bringing her duplicator (09:13:17 PM) VileGent: i will sign up as co owner (09:13:51 PM) inode0: we have some time for that one so you guys just figure what you think would be best for us (09:14:08 PM) DemonJester: cool, I will update the event page and get the info we need and discuss it next meeting. (09:14:20 PM) inode0: thank you both very much (09:14:44 PM) inode0: last call for events? (09:15:05 PM) inode0: any stray budget things? (09:15:11 PM) VileGent: another event box is the works (09:15:18 PM) VileGent: for the east (09:15:23 PM) DemonJester: yeah!

brucon 2009
by Bert Desmet 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

yesterday I heard for the first time about brucon (#) (thx to inode0). Because it looks like a really interesting conference, I think it would be cool to be there with some other fedora people. If there are enough Fedora people, I will also try to set up a booth there. please note that I am not yet sure if a booth will be possible, the organisation asked me to join them in their next crew meeting. When a booth would be possible, maybe we could share one with the CentOS team. If you are planning to come, please check this page (#) on the Fedora wiki

Russian Fedora
by Foxhaund 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hello everybody! Greetings from Russia. Russian Ambassadors want to know - what is Russian Fedora? Is it official spin-off or it's unlegal? "Usage of trademark was granted to Russian Fedora by agreement between Red Hat and other company that represent it here, AFAIK." Is it true? I wanna know, becouse i should know what to tell people about this project. "Max Spevack was on presentation on Russian Fedora launch.". Max, can you comment this? __________________ Best regards, Dmitry Vorotnikov | foxhaund(a)gmail.com
