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).

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
