Second annual Northeast Linux fest
by Jonathan Nadeau 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hello list, I was hoping that people from Fedora would like to come to the event and represent Fedora at the conference. If anyone would like to come you can have a free table. Just email to reserve the table. Thanks for your time and help. Announcing the 2nd annual Northeast GNU/Linuxfest. Where: Worcester State University, Worcester MA When: March 17, 2012 Info: http://northeastlinuxfest.org Last year we had just speakers at the event. This year we are stepping it up considerably. We are featuring a hackerspace competition where teams from across the Northeast will compete for prizes for best design. This years theme is accessibility. We will also hold LPI and BSD exams on the morning of the event. The folks from Open Street Map will hold workshops throughout the day. We also have tables from various sponsors. Among the keynote speakers this year will be the other organizer for the event Jonathan Nadeau. Jonathan is blind but this has not prevented him from working with Debian, Fedora and Triquel in hopes of making each distribution more accessible for vision impaired or physically disabled. This is an event that can also be used to meet other people in the linux world and make new contacts. This is an all day event. All events will be held in the main student center. There is also a cafeteria on the second floor which features a $5 all you can eat buffet. Last but not least, if you are 21 or older we have our very popular after party event at Jillians. We also have arranged to get special room rates at the Worcester Marriott. You must reserve your room before February 17, 2012 to get this rate. You can either use the link off the Northeastlinuxfest website or you can make reservations over the phone but be sure to mention the Northeast Linuxfest group to get the rate. You can get to Worcester by train or bus if you do not have a ride. You can find that information on the website as well. We hope you can attend and most most important, the admission is free! The website again is http://northeastlinuxfest.org Take back control of your software, take back control of your computer! -- Jonathan Nadeau http://www.jnadeau.org Northeast GNU/Linux fest http://www.northeastlinuxfest.org

Re: [Ambassadors] [fedora-india] A classroom session on VIM
by Harish Pillay 9v1hp 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

I am glad to see efforts to do classroom sessions. Given the 24 time zones we have on the planet, perhaps I can suggest that sessions like these be repeated once to handle timezones. My suggestion would be for the principal presenter to present his/her stuff during that person's waking hours and schedule another to handle those whose waking hours are oppositie. I think it is wonderful that people step up and run classrooms, and as recipients of these sharing, we should be appreciative of the effort and let the presenter do it in their time zones. Harish

[Event Report] 25th International Conference on VLSI Design, Hyderabad, India, Jan 7-11, 2012
by Shakthi Kannan 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi, I attended the 25th International Conference on VLSI Design and 11th International Conference on Embedded Systems [1] between January 7-11, 2012 at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre [2], Hyderabad, India. The first two days consisted of tutorial sessions, and the next three days had the conference presentations [3]. There were also exhibit stalls from different companies. On the first day I attended the tutorial session on SystemC AMS extensions [4] by Markus Damm [5], Sumit Adhikari [6], and François Pecheux [7]. Chitlesh Goorah [8] had earlier tried to get SystemC into Fedora and Fedora Electronic Lab [9], but, due to licensing issues [10] it could not be included. SystemC-AMS is now released under Apache license. Open SystemC Initiative and Accellera Unite have now integrated to become Accellera Systems Initiative [11]. We hope to work with them to get their sources under a single free/open source software license. François Pecheux is from Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris 6 [12], Pierre & Marie Curie University (UPMC) [13], and we already ship their free/open source EDA tools in Fedora. On day two, I attended the tutorial session by Sridhar Arvind [14] on 3D-ICE [15], a free/open source interlayer cooling emulator from Embedded System Laboratory [16], Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne [17], Switzerland. I have already been working with Sridhar, Prof. David Atienza [18] and Alessandro Vincenzi [19] on testing 3D-ICE on Fedora. I had built and tested the dependency SuperLU [20] library and the 3D-ICE package before the tutorial session. Their software has already been downloaded by over 70 research labs around the world. I will push our tested changes to them. On the later half of the day, I attended a session on verification constraint complexity. Teal [21] is a useful verification utility and connection library that has support for constraints and parameter control. The authors of the tool had agreed to release it as free/open source software, and we also ship it in Fedora. On the following three days of the conference, I attended various paper presentations from different tracks from reconfigurable architectures to methods in AMS optimization. I met Prof. Susmita Sur-Kolay [22] from the Indian Statistical Institute [23], Kolkata, India where they run Fedora in their labs. They also wished to use the 3D-ICE tool and GPU tools in their labs. I also visited the exhibit stalls meeting different people from the industry and academia. There are quite a few interesting free/open source tools that users can benefit from, and we will work in making them available in Fedora. In 2013, the conference will be held in Pune. Thanks to Red Hat for sponsoring my travel and participation at the conference.

An informal get together in Bangalore
by Ankur Sinha 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Hello all, Some of us fedora volunteers are getting together this Saturday around 1100 hours at the food court, Forum, Koramangla. It isn't an event, just folks getting together: maybe some hacking, planning, fun. I've gotten in touch with quite a few folks who've jumped at the chance of getting together. I've also made an announcement on the Bangalore LUG mailing list, and on my blog (It should've showed up on the planet by now). If you're around, we'd love to have you there! More the merrier! -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/

Calling for Fedora Insight
by Zoltan Hoppar 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Dear Fedora Ambassadors! The Insight team is looking for help, aid, we would like to grab more people for the development of the project called Fedora Insight[1]. But what is that Insight? Those who don't know this project here is an short description: Fedora Insight is a Drupal-based website that serves as a place to publish and share news, articles related to Fedora and Fedora marketing materials in various formats. Insight makes it easy for users, developers, and journalists -- people who aren't yet a part of the Fedora contributor community -- to keep up with recent highlights without following a dozen different blogs and mailing lists. We believe you can help us in Insight development. Currently we are looking for the following people: 1. Theme creator Knows the combination of HTML, CSS and a little bit of PHP. To this you need only some Drupal theme docs [2][3] and you could successfully contribute, to be available an Drupal 7 theme for Insight. If you are interested, you'll find our wiki [3] how can you make contact with us, and where you could find the Drupal theme (sample) files. 2. PHP (+Drupal) developer If you know PHP, but would like to learn Drupal either, then you're our perfect candidate. Currently we have an actively maintained FAS auth module [4] for Drupal 6, what we would like to update to Drupal 7. Also we could provide an documentation [5] for this, what is available on drupal.org. We use the Feature module, what makes easy the development flow. More about this - check at [6] here. 3. Testers, Use case testers It's important, that we must test it out every piece of code, an we do it as we could. Sadly, sometimes some bugs are appearing when it's unwanted, or it's stays hidden, or we haven't met. Therefore we appreciate anybody who could help to discover and report bugs. Tester can be anybody from the community, no need any special knowledge. We need also people who help to test out the mentioned FAS auth and Drupal 7 Mediawiki modules, the calendar module, and the site itself. All this can be done on our testing site [7]. But here pre-registration is required, because the FAS module has been temporarily disabled. To be able help our work, please send an mail to our mailing list [8], with an short introduction that includes FAS, and the job that would like to help us. After this you'll receive the necessary access rights, if the work needs that. (eg. like you would like to make an theme). Also, you as a future important contributor of the project, we awaiting you - and everyone else online at Fudcon Blacksburg 2012, where we'll put great emphasis to the calendar module [9], and we ask you to share any kind of idea, critics around it, or just contact with us through the IRC - at fedora-mktg channel. We gladly help your first steps.

[EMEA] Event Report - Rencontres Fedora 16, Paris - France
by Kévin Raymond 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

Hi, Finally, here is my event report! The release party[1] took place the 3rd of December in the same place as usual in Paris. There were many Fedora contributors (thanks for coming guys!). We first enjoyed a pizza together, and then met people, spoke about Open Source and the Fedora Project, and installed Fedora when asked to do so, or helped people discovering Fedora. We have also distributed many Fedora medias, and shown to people how to create live USB. There were more people as last time at our talks, that was great. There were recorded (with slides) but we still need to create the webpage to hold them. * Christophe Fergeau held a talk about Spice, * Michael Scherer held a talk about common firewall security * Bertrand Juglas has introduced OpenStack * With some other we spoke about projects wide translation We also had a chance to met some contributors that we see everyday in irc but we never personally met before. One more time, I forgot to take a group picture, which is something more important to me than a room picture showing people beeing helped. Action written for the next event! If you have any questions, I am around! [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rencontres_Fedora_16_%C3%A0_Universciences -- Kévin Raymond (Shaiton)

GPG keysigning event at FUDCon Blacksburg 2012 (and CAcert Assurance Event)
by Nick Bebout 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We are planning a GPG Key Signing event at FUDCon Blacksburg, which will be held on Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 1600 (4pm). If you are interested in participating, please add your info to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012_GPG_Key_Signing_Event so we can compile a list of participants and keys. So far we have 22 keys signed up and we hope to have even more. That wiki page also has more information about how we will conduct the event. I intend to print copies of the GPG key list on either Monday or Tuesday, I will probably be waiting until Tuesday, but please sign up as early as you can. I will also publish on my fedorapeople site a gpg signed copy of the key list. The current version is at http://nb.fedorapeople.org/keys.pdf and the signature will be at http://nb.fedorapeople.org/keys.pdf.asc after the final list is generated. If you don't get signed up in time, you can still participate, just bring printed slips with the output of 'gpg --fingerprint YOURKEYID' printed on them to hand out at the event. We will also be hosting a CAcert assurance event immediately following/in conjunction with the GPG keysigning event. Please see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012_CAcert_Assurance_Event for more information and a place to sign up for that. We will have enough assurers present for you to receive well over the 100 points that you need in order to qualify to become an assurer yourself. Please note that if you intend to participate in the CAcert event, the name in your government issued photo ID must match the name recorded in your CAcert account. For more information on either event, feel free to contact me at nb(a)fedoraproject.org or nb(a)cacert.org Thanks and see you at FUDCon!

Survey: Red Hat Certifications/Training for FAms (Just 2 or 3 minutes required)
by Uditha Bandara Wijerathna 06 Jan '12

06 Jan '12

Hello Everybody, I've just created a survey to collect information from ambassadors regarding RH certifications and Fedora Training. This is a small survey and please spend few minutes to complete it. :) The idea behind this survey is to collect information from ambassadors about their desire to learn Fedora and get certified from RH. After the collection of data, we can ask for the support from FAmSCo and come up with a better solution. dramsey[1], our fellow APAC ambassador, was the person who was originally brought this idea to the floor. Credits goes to him. ;) The survey : http://lk.fedoracommunity.org/fam_rh_certification/ (Survey URL is brought in as a frame, under the official LK Community website to keep the URL simple instead of complicated google URLs) Results page: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aplp6tv7mdWBdEVGRlJNY0dKQkp2bU… [1]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dramsey Regards! -- - Uditha Bandara Wijerathna - - Fedora Project Ambassador for Sri Lanka - IRC: udinnet | Fedora Profile<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Udinnet> | Email: udinnet(a)fedoraproject.org

SCALE 10X/Event Planning and Emergency FAmNA Meeting on 12/10
by inode0 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hi all, Tonight we had our last regularly scheduled FAmNA meeting before SCALE 10X and we haven't seen or approved a budget for this important event. I have heard bits and pieces on IRC about SCALE planning so I believe it is going forward but FAmNA really needs to approve a budget if any funds are being requested. Rather than just not fund it we decided after tonight's meeting to hold an emergency meeting on 12/10 (next Tuesday) at the normal time and place for FAmNA meetings to deal with the SCALE budget. If organizers and/or people going to SCALE on Fedora's behalf could come and present a reasonably detailed budget proposal we'd like to help support this event. For future events we would like to ask that organizers plan budgets and bring them to a FAmNA meeting well in advance of an event. Doing this 10 days before an event really isn't the ideal way for us to deal with event budgets. Thanks, John

Thats one of the major events in Germany with officially 3.000 visitors. http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2012/info/index?cookielang=en Right now we try to get an room or an track in the official program with Fedora related talks. In both cases we need talks, so on the end thats an fishing mail for them ;) If you have a idea for an talk, you can submit it http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2012/vortraege/call_form?cookielang=en (german only, if you need help with filling the form- just ping me) But dont forget to post it on the wiki pages, maybe we can take not from CLT accepted talks and put them in hour program https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chemnitzer_Linuxtage_2012 sad, but there are only a few days until the call for papers ends - january 6th. br gnokii
