Call for Fedora 13 release events.
by susmit shannigrahi 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hi All, We are pretty excited about the release we are approaching. Thanks goes to everyone for their brilliant efforts. The release events have always been an integral part of our releases. Many ambassadors and contributors have already started planning the parties. As we have merely three weeks to go before the release, its time that we start working on placing things in place. If you are planning an event, you are welcome to do it. To make things easier to organise, please follow the steps (there are not many steps to follow though. :)) 1. Start by creating an wiki page. The wikipage should be at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F13_<your_city>. 2. Edit the page and at the top of the page write {{subst:ReleaseParty}} and save. 3. Now fill in the details. Information requirement is minimal. You won't need more than five minutes. 4. Link your page from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_release_events If you need any budget or support for your release event, you are welcome to ask for it. Please fill in the appropriate section in your event page. Also, we will have a meeting in the second week of May (Around 10th) to discuss issues and clarifications regarding organisation of release events. In the meanwhile, if you want to ask anything or need anything, please drop me/Tatica/Luca a mail. Thanking you all for your brilliant efforts, -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

Looks like the page is coming along fine IMHO yes we can mention rpmfusion but make sure you give the spill on why things like codecs etc are not in fedora, if in doubt send them to fedorasolved.org -- Ben Williams Windows-Linux Specialist 460 McBryde Hall Blacksburg VA 24061-0123 540 231-2739

Ambassadors Cert Exam?
by Jeff Sandys 01 May '10

01 May '10

Should we have an Ambassadors Certification Examination? I enjoyed working the fedora table at LinuxFest NorthWest. Because I am familiar with many of the packages available in fedora I was able to point out special applications that would meet user's needs. When a user asked about ATI graphics issues I replied I couldn't answer. But when a user carrying an imac (comparing it to colorful OLPCs) asked if we had a powerPC version, I answered incorrectly, saying no. It would be useful to have a quiz or list of frequent and infrequent questions so that we could be better ambassadors. I don't think the quiz should be mandatory for being an ambassador, just using the subject line to create a dialog. Thanks, Jeff Sandys

by Ben Williams 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

When working the event booths it is not a bad thing to say "I dont know, but give you your contact infomation and I will be glad to find out". I agree I think its time to start compileing a list of the common questions asked at events. and put them up on the wiki somewhere. -- Ben Williams Windows-Linux Specialist 460 McBryde Hall Blacksburg VA 24061-0123 540 231-2739
