Hi, We confirm that, myself and Nihed M'barek, will be present at this year's FOSDEM 2011 iteration. We'll be staying at the Renaissance Hotel for the duration of the event, just like the previous year. We'd like to thank Bert Desmet and Frederic Hornain for the invitation letter and the strong support, you guys have provided to us with. We've got a lot of facts and stories to tell about Tunisia. See you there soon ! :) -Ilyes On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 1:42 PM, Ilyes Gouta <ilyes.gouta(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Bert, > > Alright, alright! :) They are OK, Thanks! > > I'm going to initiate the Visa process asap. with the Belgium Embassy, > here in Tunis.

Classroom on basics of Git Wednesday February 2
by Jesús Franco 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi fellow ambassadors. The people running the Fedora Latam Magazine project is going to host a classroom session on the basic usage of Git, to our fellows in the team, in order to ease and agilize our workflow on writing and design the next issues. Wednesday February 2, 21:00 UTC on #fedora-classroom We'll write almost just in Spanish and centered on the practical use of our repo in fedorahosted, rather than generic instructions, but if you want to try on your own fedorapeople repo, and since the commands we are going to run can be ported to other scenarios, maybe you'd like to join us and share your thoughts and if you get in trouble we could help you. Anyway we'll translate the logs and graphics to English, in order let more people give some feedback if they find that workshop useful. This is the thread exposing some disclaimers and goals on classroom mailing list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/classroom/2011-January/000203.html Best regards, and good luck on FUDCon and FAD. Sending positive energy to Brisbane and APAC gathering there ;) -- Salud, tierra y libertad Jesús Franco http://identi.ca/tzk https://we.riseup.net/tzk

[JIL - 15th January 2011] Report
by Couret Charles-Antoine 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Dear ambassadors, While the JIL (Journée de l'Informatique Libre) is an event that place every year (well since last year) to Toulon on the subject of Free Software. It is also the only important event of its kind hosted by the city. This remains a much more local event that JM2L example. This day was organized by PostPro association. For my part I attended the whole day and I held a stand. Moreover Fedora was the only distribution "officially" shown, the other stands involve local associations or more general as APRIL. We were able to interact with interesting people, make Fedora, etc. Then I reinforced the links with JM2L associations in the corner, Fedora is the only major distribution not used by a member of these associations, some people who wanted to talk about Fedora have been redirected to me directly particular. I find this important. The day was otherwise well spent with interesting lectures. But this event is not organized by PostPro next year. I therefore proposed to organizers to take over in a few weeks, I will discuss more deeply. And of course, Fedora can be better lighting next year in this case (this year it was Kaella, after distribution of the association Linux-Azur). Organizers for the event have ordered (or received) a large number of Linux Pratique Essentiel (a French magazine) on Fedora 13 (and Ubuntu 10.10), which were free distribution.At the end of the day, there remained 25. The organizer has kindly given meGiven the overall quality of the article Fedora, I think it could be used at future events. Otherwise it has received some donations of CDs, about 5-10 left. The Wiki report : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Journ%C3%A9e_de_l%E2%80%99Informatique_Libre… Regards, Charles-Antoine Couret
