Fedora Elections: General information, and questionnaire opening.
by Robyn Bergeron
GREETINGS!
It is once again time for election season to begin. As noted in the
elections schedule[1], the elections questionnaire is now open to
populate with questions for candidates, and will close on May 8th. The
elections nomination period will begin AFTER the questionnaire period
has closed.
You may add your burning questions for candidates to answer here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_elections_questionnaire
The following seats are available in this election:
* Fedora Project Board: 3 seats
* FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee): 5 seats
* FAmSCo (Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee): 7 seats
Please take note of the following changes for this election:
* All questions for the questionnaire must be submitted by May 8th,
prior to the beginning of nominations. As seen in the schedule above,
the nomination period does not start until May 9th.
* As noted on announce-list[2], FAmSCo is electing all 7 seats this
cycle, with the goal of having staggered elections similar to the Board
and FESCo. Additionally, voting eligibility has been widened to allow
anyone who has signed the FPCA AND is a member of at least one
additional non-FPCA/CLA group. (In other words: No longer just
ambassadors, but those part of other teams as well.)
Full election information may be seen here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections
Participating in these bodies are one of many ways to contribute to
Fedora; I encourage you to consider running, or to urge those you
believe are excellent candidates to run. Additionally, your
contributions are welcomed in helping to keep the elections running
smoothly; volunteers are needed to help collect questionnaire answers
from candidates, as well as for scheduling and moderating town halls.
If you are interested in helping with those efforts, please contact John
Rose[3].
And a big thank you! to John for coordinating the elections thus far,
your efforts are very much appreciated.
-Robyn

[X-post] Fedora Tour is in need of web developers!
by Ankur Sinha
Hello folks!
Well, the title says it all. Fedora Tour[1], which we recently decided
to make a web application needs web developers. Ironic eh? The thing is:
none of the current Fedora Tour team members have ever done web
development before. We’re learning, but the changes with HTML5, CSS3 and
Javascript have really steepened the learning curve for us. At this
time, we’d like an established web developer to come in and help us
reduce the learning time and get down to the implementation as soon as
possible.
SO!
- Are you a web developer?
- Do you have some free cycles?
- Do you want to work on a brand new, *awesome* project?
** Give us a shout today!!
You can either catch us on #fedora-tour on Freenode, or you can ping us
on the mailing list[2]. I’m around on quite a few fedora IRC channels,
so you can also catch me personally if you want. My nick is
“FranciscoD“.
The wiki page[3] for fedora tour contains all the info you’d need.
Note: This is only an announcement mail. Please do not reply to it.
Contact us instead!

FAmNA Promotional Merchandise For EMEA/APAC/LATAM
by inode0
Tonight FAmNA approved funding for a variety of promotional
merchandise. I just wanted to share with everyone that we increased
our order size for laptop stickers and case badges and will be doing
our best to deliver the following treats to FUDCons at other regions.
If we can't pull that off we'll find a way to get them shipped to you.
EMEA: 2,000 laptop stickers and 2,000 case badges
APAC: 2,000 laptop stickers and 2,000 case badges
LATAM: 5,000 laptop stickers and 2,000 case badges (we had some laptop
stickers from the last round left to ship to LATAM)

Is there FAmSCo meeting today?
by Arif Tri Waluyo
Hi everyone,
With a problem some time ago and because there is no reminder email about
FAmSCo meeting today, I began to ask. Whether there will be a meeting
FAmSCo today?
I hope everyone can still keep going and resolve existing problems. We can
deal with it.
Regards.
