Local Vendors
by Firas Al Kafri
Hi everyone
I have an idea to make Fedora more easy to reach by new users and people
who don't have sufficient bandwidth to download that distro, the vendors
idea is already existed of course but the new thing is to encourage new
vendors to start supporting fedora this week.
as for me I'm meeting huge stores managers this week to encourage them to
support fedora.
if your interested, please make sure the new vendor is added to
LocalVendors wiki page :

and my self but we have missed Pierros due to some reasons not only Fedora
event but also he could not participated for the Mozilla Camp 2011 too.
We had two session[18 and 20 of Nov] due to flight schedule and Mozilla
Camp 2011, it took place at night.
*Quick summary:*
Malaysia Side: kagesenshi has an idea to do bidding FudCon 2012 but he
needs more volunteers so his team players are willing to do campas camp
event from 360' malaysia for recruiting students.
Srilanka Side : There are many questions from other ambassadors regarding
recently crises in srilanka fedora community so we replied "past is past"
we hope it will not happen any more then we added that we are
planning ahead to make more fedora events.
India Side: They observed everything what we are speaking
because recently they have done FudCon 2011 in Pune so no points to added.
Ankit, just explained the general things like "in order to make success you
have to plan two ways logical side and technical side and so on.
Vietnam Side: Tuan says, he is not able to arrange like big events due
to lack of ambassadors in Vietnam and also he added more "In Vietnam,other
open source project has many community fans than Fedora so we are
facing this issues in their region not only Vietnam but also Thailand,Hong
Kong" he is trying his best over there.
It was enjoyably meet up and Meeting ended with McDonald's meals and
fun,jokes.
Thanks Kagesenshi and others who participated.

by Christoph Wickert
The meeting began a little lazy because there is not much to do after
the release of F16, but it got really funny later - until I mentioned
lawyers. ;(

Where are the case badges?
by Christoph Wickert
FAmSCo reports [1] list $1015 for 5000 case badges for EMEA. AFAIR they
were supposed to be delivered to FOSDEM and I do recall Max (?) brought
some, but I don't think it was 5000 pieces. This would have been 500
stripes of 10 pieces each, I believe it was more like 1000. I took home
~300 pieces and shipped them all over EMEA with the F15 media, but where
is the rest? I cannot believe we spent them all but the inventory [2]
doesn't list it either.
And what about the other regions? Didn't NA order case badges, too? If
so, why are they not in the budget?

Christoph

[event report] Journées Du Logiciel Libre 2011 - Lyon (France)
by H. Guémar
Hi,
>From Friday 18th to Saturday 19th, the French community was
represented at the 13th edition of "les Journées du Logiciel Libre"
(Free Software Days in French) in Lyon, France.
This was also the first time, that we -French ambassadors- were there
under our new name: Borsalinux-FR.
The event main theme was the cloud computing.
Behind the booth:
* Benoit Marcellin (sereinity) - Fedora ambassador
* Kévin Raymond (shaiton) - Fedora ambassador (which we thank for
bringing the kakemono)
* Yann Bollard-Fedon - a regular from Fedora-Lyon
* Haïkel Guémar (number80) - Fedora Monkey (that would be me)
As we didn't get the F16 media, we had to distribute the remaining F14/15 ones.
Among our friend communities: Mageia, OpenSUSE French community (OMG,
i hadn't seen a living french openSUSE user for years, but two !),
ubuntu-lyon, gnome-fr, jabber-fr, LibreOffice, L'April (the main
French speaking Free Software advocate association), Centreon,
OpenStreetMap, Fusion Inventory, Fusion Directory etc ...
We had our share of interesting conferences
* A legendary conference battle between Didier Untz and Vincent Roche
(from GNOME fame): Unity vs GNOME3
* Benjamin Bayard (a famous french network neutrality advocate) was present
* A lot of conferences around OpenSUSE
* industrialization of FOSS projects (mine !)
* and lots more
There were many labs from how to help OpenStreetMap to installing an
Asterisk server, etc...
It was also the occasion to meet the local community and to
share/troll with the friend communities.
>From the packaging front, i'm currently helping "Salut à Toi" (a kewl
XMPP client) maintainer to get his project packaged in Fedora.
Fusion Directory (a web interface to manage your information system -
a fork of GoSA-) guys are looking for perl packagers help to package
their application and the missing dependencies.
We also celebrated the 15 years of April and the ten years of
Framasoft (another french-speaking free software advocate association)
I'd like to thank François Trachez (gnu69) who couldn't make it here
this year but who helped us a lot to maintain a Fedora booth during
JDLL during the past years. Buen viaje companero !
best regards,
H.
