Hi, Thank you for this info, I'm planning several short presentations about Fedora Project at the University of Galati, Romania, and I did not know from where / how to get Fedora 11 CDs / DVDs. Valente

Upcoming changes in FAmNA meetings
by inode0 06 Feb '12

06 Feb '12

Just a quick announcement that beginning in February the North American Ambassadors will return to having weekly meetings again at the usual time and place (9:00pm Eastern on Tuesday evenings in #fedora-meeting on freenode). A group of us decided to go back to weekly meetings during discussions at FUDCon Blacksburg. We hope that this will make it easier for new ambassadors to become involved in our efforts, will help those already involved be more engaged and stay on top of things that need attention (like upcoming events that need some help getting in shape), and will give us an opportunity to have time to drive some new initiatives as well as tend to routine business. In addition to this change in meeting frequency we will have a new trac instance for North American Ambassadors to use in a variety of ways including adding items to the next meeting agenda, raising new issues to be addressed, and tracking progress of tasks being worked on. More on this when it is ready to go later this week but for now I would like to thank Nick for all his help getting this started. Come join us on February 7 for our resumption of weekly meetings!

Teaching fedora through videos
by María Leandro 05 Feb '12

05 Feb '12

Hello! Everyday new users come asking for help and learn about FOSS, and our way to help them is through Fedora. We know that there are a LOT of tutorial on internet, but most of them are on *text* format and yet, people love to see things on *video*. (even more if they are multilanguage) Probably, there is a huge list of videos already on internet, but they aren't organized, so our new contributor Nitesh Narayan Lal [1] from India would like to come up with some web-based site where people can easily find them (or at least where we can recomend a list of videos that might be useful for new contributors) Talking with Mark Terranova at FUDCon Blacksburg, we got this idea of make a simple *video join page* where we will have a small list of videos where people can easily understand and complete the different steps that must be followed to be part of Fedora, or any specific group. Is easier for a contributor to record a tutorial, lets say, 10min, instead spend 30min writing it. Nitesh has started with some easy tutorials (some that he has done and some collected) and we would love that, if any of you are interested on this idea, please, join us next thursday Feb-02 at 1530UTC [2] on #Fedora-Design , so we can work on this idea and bring even more knowledge to our users/contributors.

Grace Hopper WAS conference request
by Beth Lynn Eicher 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Dear Mario and Mark, I have always been fascinated by the Grace Hopper conference but I have never attended. Please count me as interested. Just in case others are interested, I have cross-posted. In 2010, Stormy Peters somehow procured a table for Free Software at-large. She then sent out an email blast which included women(a)lists.fedoraproject.org I don't know if anything came of it. Does anybody know? I believe that Fedora is a great fit for Grace Hopper conference. The audience demographic tends to be academic. Free Software is great for doing research. Too much valuable time is wasted applying for grants to gratis proprietary software and monitoring the quantity of seats consumed. Why bother when Fedora is the freshest software out there? Thanks for getting this started. I plus one the idea of Fedora at Grace Hopper 2012!

FAmNA: Multitouch Event Booth System
by inode0 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

We are beginning to investigate getting one large display multitouch system for use at booths in North America. So far I've been looking at the following possibilities: * Dell Inspiron One 2320 * Lenovo IdeaCentre B520 * Samsung Series 7 Based purely on specs the Lenovo seems to be worth the bit extra it costs to me but since I don't have any personal experience with any of these I am looking for feedback from others who likely know more about it than I do. Anyone have experience with any of these? Or suggestions that we look at something else? Thanks, John

conference request
by mario juliano grande balletta 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Greetings All! Thank you for the wonderful time and hospitality at the FUDcon in Balcksburg! It was a great way to start 2012! I wanted to ask the group for some advice and also for some help. The largest technology conference tailored for women in our field is the Grace Hopper Conference, sponsored by the Anita Borg foundation. This year, the event is in Baltimore, Maryland. The dates are from October 03-06, 2012 at the Baltimore Conference Center. I would like some of the experienced female members of Fedora Project to join me at this conference. I have requested sponsorship. My theme leading into the event focuses on the parallels between the growth of Linux, despite obstacles and outright opposition, historically along side the progress of women in technology. I would like some ideas and also support for attending this event. It is strongly supported by major executives, and corporate sponsors. One day is dedicated entirely to Open Source and women involved with Open Source. I believe Fedora benefits in the following ways: 1) this event is designed to support an often overlooked/disenfranchised segment of technology, which we can embrace and shoulder future support 2) female executives from major companies, also decision makers attend this event, it is widely known to female professionals 3) the exposure opportunity is tremendous, the list of companies in attendance is large; http://gracehopper.org/2011/sponsorship/current-sponsors/ 4) this conference has been in operation and growing since 1994! http://gracehopper.org/2011/about/history-of-the-conference/ 5) typical attendance hovers between 1500-2500, with attendees from over 20 countries and each year over 300 scholarships are donated to select female students 6) one example of name dropping: Barbara Liskov, Institute Professor Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT; she is a regular attendee! 7) a dedicated day devoted to Open Source: http://gracehopper.org/2010/conference/open-source-track/ (our chance for the Fedora Women to shine!) 8) check out the sponsorship levels: http://gracehopper.org/2011/sponsorship/logistics-for-sponsors/ ( we can tailor our exposure ) In conclusion, it is an opportunity to draw more attention from a community desiring interaction, acceptance and inclusion into the industry mainstream, at a much larger level than just exceptional executives, but as a group, which is how the Fedora foundations of friends, freedom and our strong community can really make an impact and lasting impression so that Fedora and its' community are seen as a resource, a viable option, a choice, that offers open doors and arms to everyone! I am positive we will not only recruit talented volunteers, but also make important contacts leading to investigation and adoption of Open Source, namely Fedora. Please give this some serious consideration. Obviously, I will help financially as much as possible to make the event successful. We have lots of time to prepare in advance! Thank you in advance!

Fedora classroom on "Introduction to Puppet"
by Aditya Patawari 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, I was planning to hold a classroom session on Puppet for beginners on #fedora-classroom on Thursday, 26 January at 1730 UTC.

What FOSS collaborative tools are available to contributors, what is needed?
by Kévin Raymond 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi there, >From the survey thread on the amba list[1] it appears that people simply use what they know and don't even look for open alternatives. Is there a wiki page showing all collaborative tools set up for contributors? I've heard about an etherpad instance last year… Still up? What about setting a dudle[3] instance (doodle like) or similar? UNG Docs ("UNG is Not Google") looks great for online office tools, never tried. But could be used instead of google doc. What about survey? I've seen some the past year, I am sure that we have something around. Simply give inputs I will then fill a wiki page if needed. As a Fedora Project Contributor, I feel really proud to tell people that we are all using only free and open source software (please don't check my smtp server…). There are many great free alternatives, we should highlight them (or set up them using our infra if there is no online service yet).
