Fedora Cycling Jersey 'preorder': are you interested in having one?
by Robert Mayr 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hi, during the FAD EMEA 2012 in Rheinfelden we talked about producing Fedora cycling jerseys, therefore I searched the web a little bit to see if it's doable. The jerseys i found are of a discrete quality and can be printed also with a full custom design; however the producer offers also some design examples to print the personalized jerseys. You can take a look on the pricelist here: http://www.owayo.com/cycling-custom-jerseys/prices/pricelist.htm Some examples: 20 pieces: 40,50 € 35 pieces: 36,00 € 50 pieces: 31,50 € Obviously the more we order the less we pay, that's the reason why we decided yesterday at our EMEA ambassador meeting to probe how many people are interested to order at least one cycling jersey. We can't place a huge order if there are only 10 people interested, so please reply to this topic to help us to understand which quantity would be correct. The jerseys are the classic summer jerseys in R-Tex material, shorsleeve (or sleeveless). The design however should be up to our design-team, and as I'm a passionate biker I'd be happy to wear a Fedora Jersey :) Delivery time actually is about 5 weeks. Please let me know if you're interested, thank you. Cheers. -- Robert Mayr (robyduck)

APAC Budget preparation for FY 2013
by Buddhike Kurera 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Hello APAC FAms, Time has come to plan next year budget, FY2013. As per the continuous improvement on budget management by FAmSCo, Budget Wrangler per each region needs to submit the next year budget at the end of the each year. All the expenses except FUDcon and FAD should be included. This is a projection of the total funds we need for the year, though we tried last time that wasnt possible. Therefore this is the first time we are going to do this. I know as per the current situation it is hard to make such a budget because sometimes special needs may arises. However we need to manage his challenge. Therefore it is required to get information from the FAms and plan. Tuan will also help me on this. Following has been identified as main areas that we need funding. x Media production x SWAG production x Expenses for Release parties x Event sponsorships x Event attendee subsidy x Special projects/ policies x Others The process will follow like this, if you planning to do something for next year under above categories please prepare a rough budget and update the ticket. Please include in ticket[1] what is it (which category it belongs), expected quarter* and amount required(good if it can have a cost breakdown). Do mention the estimated rough cost. Margin for unexpected expenses will be considered later at the budget preparing stage. Deadline for the entries = 2013 Jan 04, 23:59 UTC Once the budget is prepared I ll present it next APAC FAm meeting and once it is agreed I can forward it to FAmSCo. FY13 Q1 (March 2012 - May 2012) FY13 Q2 (June 2012 - Aug 2012) FY13 Q3 (Sept 2012 - Nov 2012) FY13 Q4 (Dec 2012 - Feb 2013) Thanks for your support and please do contact me if you need more help or clarification.

Northeast Linux fest
by Jonathan Nadeau 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

Hello Ambassadors, I would like to annouce the third annual Northeast GNU/Linux fest. It will be at Harvard University on March 16 and 17 of 2013. We would love to have Fedora at this event. We know that Mario will be attending this event. We will have 5 tracks and 8 or 9 classrooms that we can use. I would like to offer Fedora an entire track to use for all things Fedora. I think Fedora has the best community and would like to have a large Fedora presence at the event. I think Mario will be manning a booth at the event. Also if you want you will have access to some of the classrooms if you see fit. Please let me know if anyone would like to get involved with this event. Please spread the word and hope to see you there. Here is a link to the website. http://www.northeastlinuxfest.org -- Jonathan Nadeau http://www.jnadeau.org Northeast GNU/Linux fest http://www.northeastlinuxfest.org
