Concerning the EMEA-Africa Initiative

by Pierros Papadeas

Greetings to my fellow Ambassadors! As many of you may already now, following a recent Ambassadors EMEA meeting we decided to focus our efforts on the Africa region too. Some steps were taken, like making an Africa startup meeting (thanks Sascha!) and securing our participation on the upcoming IDLELO 2010 in Ghana. There is a positive feedback from the African contributors and I am pretty sure that more positives results are going to come soon :) I feel like I need to make some remarks though. EMEA region is a region that is used by Fedora Project for organization purposes. There is a reason to have uniform tools and processes within EMEA region, and that is to make sure everyone has what he needs to act and not to create fragmentation in decision making and planning-organizing. EMEA-Africa meeting should serve a temporary role in order to help Africa Ambassadors to know each other and help us recognise their needs. Ambassadors meeting page [1] is not reflecting this idea and I am worried that this could cause fragmentation. Moreover I am suggesting that a creation of an Africa SIG could promote best the interests of the Africa Initiative within Fedora in the sense that we generally need to look on what contributing opportunities we have there (not only Ambassadors) and also take a look on other possible problems too (l10n, i18n, media etc). This could also help the Afirca task force to organize and do not conflict with the present EMEA tools :) Remember that this task force is only about expansion and not about function of the EMEA group (we still have our lists, wiki, trac etc and *that* should be used by African Ambassadors too) Like Max said in his "Fedora Governance" on FOSDEM we need to create governance structures for as long as they are needed and make sure that we don't have a surplus of them binding us :) Finally, I would like everyone on Africa to know that I am *totally* supporting our focused efforts for expansion in their region and this email is simply trying to find/suggest the *best* way of doing so :) Take care Africa :) (and all) ~pierros -- Pierros Papadeas PGP key: 0x6130DBF8 http://pierros.papadeas.gr pierros(a)papadeas.gr liknus @ GRnet , Freenode

FLISoL - Santo André – SP Brazil

by Claudio Penasio Junior

On Saturday, April 24th, I attended FLISoL of Santo André – SP Brazil. Just as I thought were very nice, with that Free Software atmosphere, ie the crowd engaged, participating from the reception of the people, lectures, Install Fest and the setup of event which had the cooperation of all engaged with the event, and the Central Casa Branca High School, SINDSERV (Santo André Union), NET (Cable and Internet Provider), Linux Magazine Brazil and Techouse (local computer dealer). Distributions Linux represented at the event were Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora. I and liquuid (Fernando Silva), we did Install Fest representing along with Fedora. For logistical reasons, we did buy and burn the CDs we was used and distributed of Fedora 12 Live. During FLISoL we met several people with doubts about GNU / Linux, Fedora and Free Software. I've installed Fedora 12 in the computer of Osvaldo, a student of Computer Science Uniabc , 27 years old, who came from Maua- SP to attend the event. I do saw great friends, new colleagues and I thought I have conveyed my enthusiasm with GNU / Linux that is with me since 1999. Saturday was a very nice, get out of there refreshed and happy with the result. A big hug to everyone who helped and everyone who attended.
