Fedora event over in SASTRA
by pankaj kumar
This was first time happening in my college SASTRA university that there was
any fedora camp.
The camp was organized by me (Pankaj kumar), Nishanti, Anurag Jain, Sanjeev
Gopinath,and J.Dwarak.The response was very good and all became happy when
we distributed fedora 11 dvds and stickers.
The session was started at 11.00 am by Nishanti (the host of the event) who
described the agenda for the event and the Dwarak started his seminar on
OPEN SOURCE and LINUX. He told what OPENSOURCE is and connected it to the
corporate world. After that I came and explained about FEDORA , Fedora
subprojects, and then features of fedora. Anurag told the installation of
fedora and demonstrated some softwares. Sanjeev took FEDORA ELECTRONIC LAB
and he explained how one can design electronic board using fedora electronic
lab. While he was explaining I designed basic AND gate in DIGITAL DESIGNER
and simulate that. I felt very excited while doing that.Then Sanjeev
explaining C/C++ and JAVA coding which was complied by me. Anurag gave very
important links to the audience which is very helpfull after first time
fedora installation. At the end of Sanjeev’s session we demonstrated GNOME
Desktop features and COMPIZ, audience were very excited to see these all. At
the end we distributed fedora 11 DVDs and stickers and then we end the
session at 1.30pm . At the end of session we had party for organizers [image:

Re: [Ambassadors] Tampa Florida
by Joseph Perez
I would love to be able to be in charge of the events in Florida but the problem is I have no time to plan such events because I'm still in college. I would like to work closely with you though to get this event going.

To my knowledge, there's an event in Jacksonville every year -- someone with
more details can jump in here. If that's too far for you, you can do one of
your own in Tampa (hint hint).

There is Jacksonville and Orlando (floridalinuxshow.com)shows every
year, in addition there is the Southeast Linuxfest
(southeastlinuxfest.org) in South Carolina, and the Atlanta Linux Fest
(atlantalinuxfest.org) in Georgia that are reasonably close by.
By 'in charge' do you mean of the fedora presence, or of the show itself.

So the Fedora presence in Jax this year was organized by me, but only
because we had no one in Florida who wanted to do it.
I'd love to have someone else lead the effort for both of those shows.
What can I/we do to help you lead both of those.

shirts and CD and DVD to promote Fedora. We agree on changing the day a
bit to do workshop of different Free software application like Inkscape
and some others free software application, this with goal to invite

introduce them to Free Software.
This are our first steps to Sept. 19.
Thanks and any advice will be consider.

Boston trip Follow up
by Karlie Robinson
Lately, I've been working with the Rochester Institute of Technology on
a project that is a mix of Fedora, OLPC, Sugar Labs and Teaching Open
Source projects.
As a capstone to the Open Source Development class held in the Spring
'09 quarter at RIT [1] I was able to take a field trip to Boston with
Dave Farning of Sugar Labs, Wes Dillingham, Tyler Bragdon & Eric Mallon
RIT Co-Op students, and their Co-op Adviser, Fred Grose.
Here's a brief breakdown of the days and what was accomplished.
Monday - 10Aug - Travel and Dinner at John Harvard's with Mel Chua and
Adam Holt of OLPC.
Tuesday - 11Aug - MIT Museum - Toured Exhibits in the morning and used
work space to Test Sugar's Jabber Server Features in the afternoon.
Minus a few hours for lunch and missed rendezvous we were at the Museum
from open until close. Caroline Meeks of Solution Grove joined us for
the afternoon work session. At dinner that evening we were joined by
Dogi of OLPC and Caroline Meeks.
Wednesday - 12Aug- Flagship Computer Clubhouse [2] at the Boston Museum
of Science. We initially met with Keith Simmons, who is the Technology
Manager for the Computer Club House Network and also an RIT alum. We
met Keith through Steve Jacobs the RIT class Prof. Keith was then able
to introduce us to Marlon Orozco the Flagship Clubhouse coordinator and
some clubhouse alums who continue to use the facilities for some
outstanding work.
The space was great, and there was some more testing Sugar applications
and filing bug reports. For the record, I didn't actively participate
in the code-it, test-it, file-a-report activities. I'm more of a social
engineer - if that's the right term. I did try to fill my brain with
everything I could about the folks in the clubhouse so that I can use it
to make connections later. I also got a very important email inviting
our groups to present our educational outreach activities at Ontario
Linux Fest this fall. (So if you'd like to present something, there's
still time to send in your ideas)
Thursday - 13Aug - We spent the afternoon back at the Computer Clubhouse
- this time with Kids! A group of children were in the clubhouse and we
were able to set up all the machines with Sugar on a Stick and allow
them to play. The group was able to get some very important insight
from the kids on how the software behaves and how the children use it.
Before I move on to Friday, I want to pass on Keith's desire to do more
Open Source within the Computer Clubhouse network. Following up and
being a point of FOSS contact for the computer club house is on my list.
Friday - 14Aug - Red Hat Offices Westford, MA. Our field trip group
plus Adam and Dogi of OLPC took over a conference room at Red Hat
Offices. We need to thank Máirín Duffy for helping us get comfortable
and Luke Macken for hosting and for joining in on some of our sessions.
The tasks for the day were to brain storm along the lines of Teaching
Open Source. We broke off into groups and discussed what we could have
done better for the students and what we could have done better with the
community.
Mel Chua helped the Co-ops get their thoughts out so that other students
can benefit from what we were able to learn.
The consensus was that we overloaded both sides of the equation. Too
much info with the students (what's GIT? Why IRC? Who to ask? etc),
and too many people to mentor for the community to absorb without notice.
While we didn't find a magic potion to deal with these issues, we did
make progress. Most of what we learned will end up in the wiki at
http://TeachingOpenSource.org if it hasn't been added already.
Saturday - 15Aug - Free day. Only One formal meeting was scheduled for
Dave, Fred, Eric and Tyler to conference call with William Schaub on his
Teotwawki Network [3]. Later that evening, Wes, Fred and I did meet up
with Adam Holt for a small, informal, Beer SIG which is a LUG of
Rochester tradition.
Sunday - 16Aug - Returning home.
I should formally thank Fred for putting the trip together and for
allowing me to tag along. I hope I can use the insight gained on the
trip to better coordinate needs between the organizations I got to know
while in Boston. While I'm not a coder, I do hope I can play a role
matching up people and solutions where they'll have the most impact for
FOSS.
Comments and questions appreciated.
