[EMEA] Fedora 15 Release party in Paris
by Kévin Raymond 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi, There will be a two days event for the next Fedora release in Paris![1] There will be talks and workshops the 4th of June, meeting people, and of course Fedora install. The following day will be like a FAD, where contributors would work together on different subjects. This day will help people to become contributors as they will be able to integrate a team directly, see how we contribute in real time. We would probably work on packaging, translating and ticket review in our community website (and why not on the FP ones). It depends only of who will be present. Feel free to join us during the 4th and 5th of June, in Paris ! [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rencontres_Fedora_15_%C3%A0_Universciences -- Kévin Raymond User:shaiton GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2

FAmNA Meeting Minutes - 2011-04-19
by Robyn Bergeron 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Here are the minutes from last night's NA Ambassadors meeting, as well as some general notes: Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2011-04-20/famna.2011-04-20… Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2011-04-20/famna.2011-04-20… As an FYI: There was a significant deal of discussion regarding the FUDCon NA location decision, which has not been made yet. We've been asked to give a recommendation, and I think there was quite a bit of confusion over that, but you can read through the logs if you'd like an overview of where we stand right now. I'll be posting a recap to the fudcon-planning list, and it was decided that perhaps we should organize another meeting, not necessarily exclusive to ambassadors, to work on giving a recommendation to FAmSCo and the FPL for decision-making purposes. If you are interested in helping in that process, I recommend that you join the fudcon-planning list (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning) although I will certainly announce a date for a meeting on that topic here as well. (If anyone disagrees with anything I've said above that was present at last night's meeting, please feel free to correct me.) -Robyn ====================================== #fedora-meeting: FAmNA Meeting 4-19-11 ====================================== Meeting started by lcafiero at 01:01:47 UTC.

Fedora 15 Ambassadors Schedule
by Pierros Papadeas 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello all, We did the test last release, but things went not as planned. We tried to enforce a Schedule for Ambassador Specific activities in sync with the release of Fedora 14, but most of the tasks were not pursued in time. It is not time to point fingers so lets look for Fedora 15 Schedule of Ambassadors! This time FAmSCo (and personally I , as chair) takes full responsibility of making sure the schedule will be followed as planned. After the election of the current FAmSCo (November - December 2010) we did a review [1] of the draft schedule from J.Poelstra (our previous schedule wrangler) and with help of Robyn Bergeron (our beloved current schedule wrangler) we updated it to meet Ambassador specific needs. Also we have new naming of the tasks to help us understand the owner of task more easily (it was a problem on the old one). Who will enforce it? FAmSCo will make sure the owners of each task have whatever they need to make the action. How will we report back and review schedule? The Schedule will be part of our weekly FAmSCo calls so feel free to drop by to raise an issue. If this is not possible raise the issue on the mailing list of Ambassadors. Is the schedule flexible? We are human beings and sometimes we cannot meet some deadlines :) This is totally understandable and FAmSCo will be there to help out, and in extreme cases reform schedule to meet some updated needs. Is this the final form of the schedule? Although we tried to deliver a schedule that took into consideration all of our needs, we understand that the schedule will need some reform and fine tuning for our next release (e.g. Fedora 16). After the Fedora 15 release is over we will gather all available feedback and discuss it to make the appropriate adaptions. Where is the Schedule anyway? The schedule can be found here [2] along with the rest of the Fedora 15 schedules Is this schedule describing all Ambassadors Tasks? Of course not! This schedule is only for release-specific Ambassador tasks (i.e. tasks like Release Parties, media production etc). Feel free to host events and make action out of the schedule as always! But if your actions are release-specific please help us meet the guidelines. Feel free to comment (as always) and step up on specific regional tasks. I will post and nudge on the mailing list towards the adherence to the schedule :) ~π [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-ambassadors/2010-12-30/ambassadors_… [2] http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-15/f-15-ambassadors-tasks.html -- Pierros Papadeas FAmSCo Chair PGP key: 0x6130DBF8 http://pierros.papadeas.gr pierros(a)papadeas.gr liknus @ GRnet , Freenode
