FAmNA Meeting Summary from 2009-06-16
by inode0
* 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
@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.

Mailing List Rules
by Joerg Simon
Dear Ambassadors,
we clarified the Mailing List Guidelines in the past month's several times.
This is a closed Mailing List to keep sure that we have low traffic and less
overhead.
This is the second day in a row that we had to stop a off-topic discussion -
"Spam or not" - in this mailing list!
Think before you answer a email with a "me too"! Ambassadors is not a social
Platform!
Further violation of the Mailing List Guidelines will result in moderation or
in exclution from the Ambassadors Group by a decission from FAmSCo.
This is no Joke, you violate our Freedom to work together in a constructive
way!
Please send no answer to this mail - there is no need for discussion in this
case!
cu Joerg

brief FAMSCO update
by Max Spevack
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.

Re: [Ambassadors] Verification Page
by Truong Anh Tuan
Hello David Ramsey ,
Thank you for your share.
Actually, I had done this exactly same. My country code in FAS is "VN".
Also, I am curious I do need to uncheck the Privacy checkbox?
Anyway, I unchecked it. Lets see :)
Kind regards,
Tuan

I click "Log In" to the FAS system and then enter my FAS user name and password.
============================
I click "My Account"
Then next screen, click "(edit)"
On this screen, I choose "Country" for my country -

Soon after (later in day,) my name is in right place on the following url...
