RE: [Ambassadors] ubuntu & fedora
by Are Peace
+1 to Syafarul Razi. Fedora is RPM base and ubuntu is debian base. You'll find ubuntu package with some .deb format and fedora with .rpm format.

Hafiz

fedora/redhat.
Technically, the difference of these distros is Fedora is a legacy of RedHat
Linux while the ubuntu is a legacy of Debian. That what I answered to Linux
newbie.

New Ambassador
by Hope Harrison
Hello,
I became an ambassador about a month ago, so I am new and still don't
quite know how things work.
I would like to try to get my high school to use Fedora in one of their
computer labs, and then maybe have a school assembly about the cool
Fedora technology and/or maybe some flyers to be passed out to students
so they could learn more about Fedora, and try in on their home
computers. I don't know if this is an idea that would really work, and I
don't know how to get started on it. Does anyone have any suggestions or
advice?

Just letting you know, I may need a little help
by hagr182
Dear Friends:
Im just writing up this e-mail to let you know that even tough I havent
replied to mail messages like I used to, Im still active and working, tough
at a lower level, I must say. What does a lower level means? well it means I
have just been convincing people to install Fedora and helping them to get
it running (30 people this past month), temporarly I have dropped my
blogging, writing and radio promotion of the project (the reason being on
this last one that the radio station is from my University) and the first
two being that this summer we are hosting a charity/service event in which
we will capacitate people to help others. This project I must say is
organized by my fellow scout rovers (yes, im still a Scout) , just letting
you know so Im not considered "Inactive".
On the other hand all my projects related to Fedora will continue on August
10th, my first day of school and the day this event closes; on a side note,
guess which distro will be used for IT related activities (registration and
general internet usage by the attendants)???, thats right Fedora.
Last but not least could somebody help me getting some fancy "Fedora" dvds??
I will need 50 for the assistants and about 20 to give out on my radio show
once it begins again. The event dvds would be required before August 6th,
the ones for the radio station (getting a new show about open source
software) before August 10th.
Thanks, Hector Gonzalez, LATAM Ambassador.

(08:13:31 PM) inode0: Budget:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget
(08:13:44 PM) inode0: I failed to add some detail to that
(08:13:49 PM) inode0: as have others
(08:14:08 PM) inode0: we do have around $5k iirc budgeted to various items
(08:14:21 PM) inode0: I'll get this page fixed this week
(08:14:42 PM) inode0: the splatter t-shirts (roughly 300) have been
produced and delivered
(08:15:09 PM) inode0: media is still being worked on from last quarter
(08:15:18 PM) inode0: hopefully we'll be getting that very soon
(08:15:41 PM) inode0: banners are still being investigated
(08:15:52 PM) inode0: those are banners for the 3 three event boxes
(08:16:46 PM) inode0: if we have some other budget items don't wait
much longer to make requests for this quarter - remember it ends mid
august
(08:17:24 PM) dthomasdigital: IS NMGLF still in the 4th quarter?
(08:17:32 PM) ***ke4qqq is here - sorry for being late
(08:17:37 PM) inode0: December is Q4
(08:18:08 PM) inode0: on a bit of a whim I have one budget request
(08:18:29 PM) inode0: since ke4qqq has arrived we'll see if he approves it
(08:18:44 PM) ***ke4qqq has the power to approve things??? lol
(08:19:15 PM) inode0: I'd like to spend approximately $100 to get a
Fedora logo made by fathead in about a 3'x3' size
(08:19:45 PM) ke4qqq: out of what?
(08:19:48 PM) inode0: maybe 2'x2' - haven't quite decided
(08:20:17 PM) inode0: they are made out of some sort of vinyl
(08:20:26 PM) ke4qqq: worksforme
(08:20:36 PM) inode0: http://www.fathead.com/
(08:21:08 PM) ke4qqq: can we get more than one?
(08:21:15 PM) inode0: I thought these might be good event box items
for sticking on walls, paint friendly & re-usable
(08:21:41 PM) inode0: they aren't that expensive in the big picture,
so I was just thinking about testing one
(08:21:57 PM) inode0: we could get more now or later
(08:22:10 PM) VileGent: on the banners do we want to test one, or get all three
(08:22:13 PM) inode0: I can get one and re-order though probably in
this Q if they are nice
(08:22:35 PM) inode0: given the Q3 schedule I think we want to get 3 banners
(08:23:13 PM) inode0: we should have plenty of budget for 3 fatheads
too, I just don't know how they will work out
(08:23:40 PM) inode0: I have artwork in hand, just need to find time
to go through the process
(08:23:56 PM) VileGent: lets try it
(08:23:58 PM) inode0: I'll try to do that soonish
(08:24:04 PM) slipp3d: I think that would be a nice touch if it works
(08:24:49 PM) inode0: any other budget items anyone?
(08:25:37 PM) inode0: Tasks: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Tasks
(08:25:43 PM) inode0: we suck at this
(08:26:03 PM) inode0: please start recording tasks on this page to
document our work
(08:26:12 PM) ***inode0 is as guilty as anyone
(08:26:39 PM) inode0: I noticed moving one item there today that we
haven't had a guest in about 5 months now
(08:27:30 PM) inode0: if you know someone from a part of the project
who we haven't talked to it would be really nice to invite them to
come and talk with us about their area
(08:27:42 PM) ke4qqq: +1
(08:28:09 PM) ***lcafiero sneaks in and sits in the back
(08:28:50 PM) inode0: please feel free to take the initiative to do
this - we can arrange any meeting to accommodate a guest
(08:29:25 PM) inode0: if RMS is available he would be an interesting
guest here too
(08:30:13 PM) inode0: Open Floor
(08:30:31 PM) inode0: anyone have anything else they would like to
discuss tonight?
(08:30:41 PM) dthomasdigital: Will we have media ready for Sept 19th
Software Freedom Day?
(08:31:19 PM) VileGent: dthomasdigital, i am glad i hadnt bought a ticket
(08:31:22 PM) slipp3d: any thoughts on how to bring new members up to
speed with out the overwhelming feeling
(08:31:53 PM) dthomasdigital: VileGent hey we are free
(08:32:27 PM) lcafiero: I think the live cds are ready, no? install dvds . . . .
(08:32:34 PM) inode0: media I would hope would be available by the
19th but it is out of our hands
(08:32:49 PM) inode0: max is working with redhat and the vendor to
sort out the problem
(08:32:54 PM) lcafiero: Software Freedom Day isn't until mid-September
(08:33:04 PM) inode0: oh
(08:33:13 PM) inode0: we might have some left by then :)
(08:33:18 PM) dthomasdigital: Live Cd's will be great we are going to
be in a Mall this year, lots of foot traffic
(08:33:35 PM) dthomasdigital: Guess I better get my request in
(08:34:09 PM) inode0: do request piles of media early as that will
help with arranging how many get sent where when they arrive
(08:34:11 PM) lcafiero: I have to talk to a group at Caltech on
Thursday about F11.
(08:34:24 PM) lcafiero: Burning my own to bring with me.
(08:34:47 PM) inode0: slipp3d: mentors are supposed to help with that
(08:35:03 PM) inode0: although being overwhelmed may still happen
(08:35:08 PM) lcafiero: +1 to inode0

(08:36:18 PM) slipp3d: the reason that i bring that up is that i have
been trying to read up on things to do but feel like i'm 2 miles
behind everyone
(08:36:18 PM) zodbot: Grantbow_: Unapproved Groups: None
(08:36:39 PM) inode0: I'm wondering how or whether I should proceed?
If they don't have enough interest to aggressively get my time early
on should I let them vanish?
(08:36:46 PM) lcafiero: you're not, slipp3d -- it takes time
(08:37:46 PM) inode0: slipp3d: hanging around and latching onto
something when it comes up that you would be comfortable doing is
great
(08:37:46 PM) lcafiero: inode0, I talked to kital about this: He said
that candidates should take the initiative, and if you don't hear from
them you can ping them, but it's up to them
(08:38:07 PM) inode0: lots of people do that and we can help you do a
specific task
(08:38:19 PM) dthomasdigital: This is sad what is the link to request media?
(08:38:31 PM) inode0: yeah, thus far I've been leaving it up to them
(08:38:42 PM) ke4qqq: slipp3d: hanging around IRC is good - join more
than the amb mailing list - at least fab, but also docs, design, and
devel.
(08:38:44 PM) slipp3d: inode0, I can under stand that but being new is
hard to know when you are over stepping... and i don't want to be one
that falls in the cracks and drops
(08:38:58 PM) ke4qqq: slipp3d: you aren't ever overstepping
(08:38:59 PM) inode0: do not worry about overstepping!
(08:39:08 PM) inode0: you can do whatever you want :)
(08:39:21 PM) lcafiero: dthomasdigital: https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/
(08:39:31 PM) ke4qqq: there are things you can't do - but those are
in ForbiddenItems or CodeofConduct
(08:39:36 PM) ke4qqq: you won't step on anyone's toes
(08:39:47 PM) slipp3d: cheers ... lcafiero i lost that link
(08:39:59 PM) inode0: slipp3d: what sorts of things are you interested
in doing with us?
(08:40:00 PM) ke4qqq: you might want to toss the idea out on the
mailing list - just to avoid duplication
(08:40:01 PM) lcafiero: No prob.
(08:40:54 PM) inode0: I would like to mention one thing before I forget
(08:41:18 PM) inode0: We sent 1,000 tattoos to both the EMEA FUDcon
and the LATAM FUDcon
(08:41:23 PM) slipp3d: thats just it ... inode0... there is lost that
i would like to do (help out with events ect ... but i'm out in the
sticks and not much happens around my area)
(08:41:40 PM) lcafiero: the sticks are . . . slipp3d?
(08:41:42 PM) ke4qqq: slipp3d: define sticks
(08:41:44 PM) inode0: while davdunc isn't here tonight I do want to
thank him one more time for making this happen
(08:42:00 PM) inode0: folks all around the world have enjoyed them already
(08:42:03 PM) dthomasdigital: inode0 how did the case badges go over?
(08:42:13 PM) inode0: dthomasdigital: was getting to you next :)
(08:42:16 PM) ke4qqq: case badges are awesome dthomasdigital !!!!!!
(08:42:32 PM) lcafiero: +1 ke4qqq
(08:42:48 PM) inode0: yes, they are reported by everyone to be the
nicest case badges ever
(08:42:52 PM) slipp3d: Montana...
(08:43:04 PM) lcafiero: Big Sky Country.
(08:43:08 PM) dthomasdigital: Very happy it worked out.
(08:43:16 PM) slipp3d: yep ... big sky and nothing around
(08:43:34 PM) StabbyMc: dthomasdigital: I've been trying to tell you
that all my counterparts at RH are SOOOOOOO jealous.
(08:43:39 PM) inode0: unfortunately they were a little late to go to
the FUDcons this year
(08:43:42 PM) slipp3d: is there a laptop badge / tattoo?
(08:44:34 PM) inode0: slipp3d: yes, we got both this Q
(08:45:03 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: since you popped in any word?
(08:45:19 PM) ke4qqq: StabbyMc: you're going to be at ALF???
(08:45:23 PM) lcafiero: slipp3d, yep. Nice items, too.
(08:45:46 PM) ke4qqq: is there any other contributors in the ATL area
- I noticed stickster_afk and I are slated to speak
(08:45:48 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: spevak has been conspicuously abscent
from ambassadors.
(08:45:57 PM) StabbyMc: And I know I butchered the speeling of that.
(08:46:29 PM) lcafiero: No, you spelled conspicuously right
(08:46:39 PM) lcafiero: :-)
(08:46:40 PM) inode0: spevack not so much
(08:46:48 PM) StabbyMc: ke4qqq: too early to tell yet.
(08:46:52 PM) slipp3d: lcafiero, where would i get some fedora swag
(08:47:16 PM) inode0: we give away swag at events :)
(08:47:25 PM) lcafiero: If you're from Montana, you'd be in herlo's
territory. Go to https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/ and request
some, which I think is the place to order it.
(08:47:37 PM) inode0: if you have an event you can request some swag for it
(08:47:45 PM) StabbyMc: ke4qqq: I haven't gotten my work schedule out
into September yet. But as it's a Saturday, very probably.
(08:47:47 PM) slipp3d: right but if i would like some ... outside of an event
(08:48:30 PM) inode0: we don't really just send people swag - but
check with us not in a meeting about it
(08:48:38 PM) ke4qqq: ok - they are hitting me up for us to produce
lanyards or bags or whatever - I don't think I'd have a problem giving
them money - just have no time to do production as well.
(08:48:48 PM) lcafiero: Lanyards are cool.
(08:48:59 PM) inode0: expensive when I checked last though
(08:49:05 PM) ke4qqq: yeah
(08:49:10 PM) lcafiero: Yeah, probably.
(08:49:17 PM) dthomasdigital: Good knows I need all that stuff for
NMGLF is a huge undertaking
(08:49:18 PM) lcafiero: But Debian charges for theirs now
(08:49:26 PM) ke4qqq: SELFs lanyards were donated or we wouldn't have had them
(08:49:28 PM) lcafiero: At least they did at LinuxWorld last year.
(08:50:40 PM) inode0: ke4qqq: how many people are expected?
(08:51:09 PM) ke4qqq: last year they had 150 - no idea how many they
expect this year. 200 maybe 300.
(08:51:16 PM) ke4qqq: it really strikes me as ATL-centric
(08:51:22 PM) inode0: because getting a Fedora lanyard vendor in the
bank would be excellent IMO
(08:51:25 PM) ke4qqq: or at least GA-centric
(08:51:40 PM) ke4qqq: I'll see who did SELF's and see what we can do with it.
(08:52:12 PM) StabbyMc: Agree with ke4qqq: very GA centric.
(08:52:17 PM) lcafiero: The tattoos are a hit, at least at one LUG meeting here.
(08:53:05 PM) dthomasdigital: I'd be interested in a fedora lanyard
vendor for NMGLF, would be great .
(08:53:10 PM) inode0: well, again please make requests now for stuff
you want later this year
(08:53:37 PM) inode0: we may have some money available this Q that can
purchase some supplies for later events
(08:55:50 PM) dthomasdigital: cool
(08:56:17 PM) inode0: dthomasdigital: would you rather have Fedora
lanyards or general sponsorship if it came to that?
(08:57:02 PM) dthomasdigital: general sponsorship, I think I could do
more with that
(08:58:48 PM) ***inode0 would like to stick a cork in it at the top of
the hour tonight
(08:58:59 PM) slipp3d: +1
(08:59:20 PM) inode0: Please join us back in #fedora-ambassadors to
