Open Letter to Fedora Ambassadors
by inode0 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Dear Ambassadors, In recent months FAmSCo has been working hard to improve both the way FAmSCo works and the way FAmSCo is elected to represent the Fedora Project. Efforts directed toward the latter I think have been more successful and have resulted in new election guidelines and the call for a new election during the F18 election cycle which has begun already and which will culminate in a new FAmSCo being seated in June 2012. Any time an elected body reforms its election process there seems to inevitably be some points of contention that arise and this process was no exception. While there was wide support for 99% of the reforms there still was a bit of a fuss caused by the choice of a transition process. The decision has now been made to move as swiftly and as fairly as possible to the new election rules with a great effort to compromise with those who opposed the original transition plans. Please join me in now putting all of that behind us and focus on the future. Help create the new FAmSCo by participating in this important transitional election. Some important dates to keep in mind: April 27-May 8: Questionnaire form open for the community to submit questions for the candidates. Please ask questions for the candidates here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_elections_questionnaire May 9-15: Nomination Period (closes promptly at 23:59:59 UTC on the 15th) Begin thinking about whether you would like to serve on FAmSCo to help make this transition a success now! Nominations begin in just 10 days and we need good people to volunteer to serve. Being a member of FAmSCo can't just be a title. FAmSCo members need to participate actively in FAmSCo business, need to attend meetings, need to participate in discussions of issues on various mailing lists and in tickets filed with FAmSCo, and need to vote on various matters when a vote is called. FAmSCo itself can find some ways this time to make all of this easier for members who are located around the world. With only seven members and those scattered far and wide geographically makes obtaining the current quorum of four members at IRC meetings difficult to always obtain. Rather than be blocked by an arbitrary quorum I propose the following change for consideration in the future. (1) To conduct business on IRC change the quorum to three members so business can be discussed in our public meetings. (Four votes for passage/approval of items may still be required.) (2) Document in the relevant ticket what exactly was proposed to be voted on and the votes cast in the meeting and allow the absent FAmSCo members 48 hours (or a different fixed amount of time) to vote by indicating their position in the ticket. Passage/approval will happen when the majority is reached but hopefully this mechanism will prevent weeks from passing waiting for enough members to show up for a single FAmSCo IRC meeting. May 25-31: Townhalls (Two for the Fedora Project Board, two for FESCo, and two for FAmSCo). Please come to the townhall meetings. Ask questions, listen carefully to what the candidates say, or better yet come to the townhalls as a candidate and be the one answering the questions. June 1-7: Voting Period (closes promptly at 23:59:59 UTC on the 7th). Vote! For years now we have seen around 125 ambassadors participate in elections by voting. Please support the efforts of your fellow ambassadors by voting this election. John

Importance notice on fedora-india trac for APAC FAms
by Buddhike Kurera 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Hello APAC FAms As you are aware we are in the process of moving from fedora-india trac to fedora-apac trac for better coordination of your requests. It is agreed[1] to make the fedora-india trac *read-only* and add an info to header/ footer asking to use fedora-apac trac instead the fedora-indea trac. I found 5 active tickets on fedora-india. Three of them seems important and other two marked invalid since there was no any activity/ update from 8 months and no updated info can be found about the request. Ticket #138, #145, #146 [2][3][4] still need attention. If the reporters of noted tickets are still willing to get support please create a new ticket on the fedora-apac trac[5] or please close those tickets if those requests were fulfilled. In future please use the fedora-apac trac to make your requests. If you need support please do contact me. fedora-india trac will be made read-only with in few days. Thanks !
