FAmNA Meeting Announcement (09 October 2012)

by inode0

Please join us for our weekly FAmNA meeting this Tuesday at 9:00pm Eastern in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net. I'd like to remind everyone that it is important for us to get some work accomplished at these meetings and staying on the topic is important to that end. All comments are welcome from ambassadors during the meetings but please wait until the Open Floor to add any subject matter not included in the meeting agenda via a ticket. Feel free to add to the agenda. The easy way to add an agenda item is described at the bottom of this announcement. Especially if you have an event coming up that needs some attention. == Meeting Agenda == === Announcements === Time for brief announcements. === Orientation Topics === After giving this some thought I have concluded there is way too much material for one meeting so we'll add one or two topics each week until we have everything covered. Please add topics or suggest future topics for us to cover. * ??? === Tickets === Tickets scheduled for discussion at this meeting can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/famna/report/9 Please read through each ticket in advance so you can be prepared to discuss them at the meeting. === Open Floor === Unscheduled topics can be raised during the open floor if time permits. Discussion of any topic will generally be more productive if participants know about the topics in advance and have some time to think about them, so please add your topics to the meeting agenda in the ticket system when possible. If you would like to add a topic for discussion at our meetings please open a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ and set its milestone to meeting. Thanks, John

[Event Report] Fedora Activity Day, October 7, 2012, R.V. College of Engineering, Bengaluru

by Shakthi Kannan

Hi, A Fedora Activity Day [1] was organized at R. V. College of Engineering, Bengaluru [2] on Sunday, October 7, 2012. The participants were students from the Master of Computer Applications (MCA) department. I started the day's proceedings on best communication practices, project guidelines that need to be followed, and introduced the audience to the various Fedora sub-projects that they can get started with [3]. The next session was on version control systems, and their importance with an introduction to Git [4]. We had a hands-on session where the participants practised simple Git commands. Praveen Kumar (HP) [5] then spoke about Bugzilla, and how one can file bugs for Fedora. He also explained how to write meaningful bug reports. Post-lunch, I introduced them to packaging concepts and terminology. Using the RPM packaging [6] presentation, we taught them how to build, and test RPMs. Praveen Kumar explained the Fedora package review process, and the various tools and infrastructure that we use for the same. The final session of the day was from Charles Rose (Dell) [7] who introduced the participants to virtualization with KVM on Fedora. He also addressed the basic concepts involved in virtualization with numerous examples. The department lab is planning to move all their backend services to Virtual Machines. Thanks to Prof. Renuka Prasad for working with us in organizing this workshop. Few photos taken during the trip are available [8].

Effective SWAG distribution/ management with in APAC

by Buddhike Kurera

Hello Folks, In May the F18, FAmSCo term has started which I was a member. Now it is almost 4 months has gone and around 2 months to go for the release F18. There was two goals[1] at the beginning, one was to improve the SWAG production and distribution with in the APAC region and the next was to facilitate and represent fellow FAms in much efficient way. (donno what you think ) I do believe that I will providing better representation and facilitating for the FAms from APAC. However I am still working on the first goal which is hard to achieve, but I ll be doing my best. The plan I have came with so far is as follows. Currently there are 18 countries with in the APAC region. Australia Bangladesh China Hong Kong India Indonesia Japan Malaysia Myanmar Nepal New Zealand Pakistan Philippines Singapore Sri Lanka Taiwan Thailand Vietnam (excluding following countries since they are almost dealing with EMEA Cyprus, Jordan, Saudi Arabia) With in the region there are diversity of the tax and shipping overheads therefore “Distributing through a central point” is not the best strategy for APAC. However my plan is to produce SWAGs in bulk and distribute them in a central point which is the FUDCon in the region holding yearly. Since most of the FAms from most of the countries in the region, are participating I think that would be feasible. So once a year SWAGs (such as stickers, buttons, straps ….) will be produced and distributed via the FUDCon. In APAC the scenario is totally different than NA or EMEA since the countries are largely seperated geographically. Therefore local production would be the best possible alternative. However FUDCon is used as the central point as all the FAms are gathering yearly. It is better to produce media themselves locally. I think that would be the best possible way to address the tax and shipping costs. In such case it is possible to open a ticket on the fedora-apac trac[2] and move for the production. Since the revised “Reimbursement Guideline” is in effective[3] there would not be much difficulties. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Planning for the next SWAG production will start soon.
