October 2012 - ambassadors - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Fabian Affolter

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, I would like to give you a heads up about the discussion yesterday during the Ambassadors Barcamp session. We discussed two points extensively: Mentoring and level of activity (again). I will only cover the first point because the latter one we discussed in the past to death with no real solution. A couple of weeks ago Jörg (kital) Simon stepped back from FAMA (Fedora Ambassadors Membership Administration). Now Clint is in charge. This means that Clint is handling the administrative part. In EMEA we are missing mentors. This will be fixed soon. Right now we nominated four additional people to become mentors. Those people were not selected randomly, they agreed to do the mentoring. An other issue regarding the mentoring is the process. As far as I know people apply in FAS for the Ambassadors groups. This generates a mail to all sponsors of the ambassadors group and then a ticket in the FAMA trac instance is manually created. Then some foo (like suscribing to the mailing list, search a mentor, etc.) comes and at the end the person gets sponsored. After that this person is an ambassador. One idea is to do it similar to the Packager group. This means that people have to apply for their membership in the FAMA trac instance first (perhaps fill out a template or similar) instead of the Fedora Account System and the ambassadors groups become an "invite-only" group. Then the process starts and at the end they are added to the ambassadors group. I think that this will filter out all the people how just apply for any random group in FAS. The barrier to become an ambassador will not be elevated but people have to show some commitment first by filling out the trac ticket. If you want to add more details, other thoughts (please only about mentoring and its process), or if you have a ultimate solution for the mentoring please speak up. Thanks. Kind regards, Fabian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlB8BNsACgkQ4jzS3TakOX8FIQCeMrz6WJZaB9IsY33rAEpzztJk 9S4AniV5yoSzpQ5gsQVufeSjTQhfQHYq =rUG/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Fedora presence at SFD 2012 Hanoi report

by Truong Anh Tuan

Good morning everyone, SFD 2012 Hanoi is held by VFOSSA in Sept 15th (sorry for this late report; I am too busy with other work). I presented for Fedora there and talked about FOSS community [1] with lot of references from our community. My morning keynode got about 100 people. I tried to share them what is FOSS community like Fedora, how to participate in and convinced them to join with us. Actually, I have got a lot of new connections since then. Together with the Community Space Hanoi team [2], we distributed over 100 Fedora 17 media. More and more people here are adopting to Linux and FOSS. We got exciting afternoon sessions with a lot of topic. You can see the event report from organizer [3] for more information (they are all in Vietnamese so I have to use Google translate).

Re: [Ambassadors] [Design-team] Fedora Events Web app

by Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail

I forgot to share the link to the source: https://github.com/inigoconsulting/collective.conference Localization support should be able to be added easily by installing plone.app.multilingual , but i'm not quite sure on the gotchas .. As for moving to the Fedora infrastructure, i think thats a question to the infra guys if they want to add this. Considering its not on a system which they are familiar with, i'm not quite sure. However, .. I can create an openshift-deployable template for this. I already have an openshift quickstart for Plone core itself (https://github.com/kagesenshi/plone-openshift-quickstart). Just need an account to deploy it to, mine already reached its 3 gears limit with my experiments :P.

Hi Elad, Currently I have a kindof half-cooked system on fedora.my site which I used for local FADs/events and the last FUDCon KL . It was done on Plone to make use of the existing features and addons. http://fedora.my/events/fudconkl2012 On Sat, Oct 13, 2012 at 8:42 PM, Elad Alfassa <elad(a)fedoraproject.org> wrote: > > Swag & budget management for ambassadors (instead of trac tickets) - doesn't have this feature > Exact time, date, map and any other special arrival instructions - date/time is available - map we simply link an image to google maps. - special arrival instructions can be done using the built-in Page content type > A free form text field for event information - theres a body text field for event information. additional information can be added as a new page using the built-in page contenttype. > A list of Fedorian attendees of the event (every Fedorian should be able to > add himself as an atendee) - we use a simple anonymous registration form here. theres also OpenID login support to the whole site itself to allow editing of registration details or assigning manager/admin role to manage contents related the event. > Optional registration (in case the event is organized by the Fedora > community and not just a random event Fedora has a booth/stand at) - same as above > Ability to attach event reports to the event page after the event is over - Event is a folderish content type.
