by Dominic Hopf 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

Hi everyone, one of my remaining tasks from the last EMEA Ambassadors Meeting was to create or update the wiki page for the SoftwareFreedomDay events this year. This has been done now and can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SoftwareFreedomDay Please feel free to either improve that page or suggest me improvements here and of course don't forget to add your local SoftwareFreedomDay event there as well if you plan to organise one or maintain a Fedora booth there. :) Best Regards, Dominic -- Dominic Hopf http://dominichopf.de/ Key Fingerprint: A7DF C4FC 07AE 4DDC 5CA0 BD93 AAB0 6019 CA7D 868D

Is anyone else considering attending this event? http://2012.texaslinuxfest.org/ I have a talk accepted but I haven't quite decided whether I'll be going or not. Some other Fedora people helping out would be something that would encourage me to go. :) John

FAmSCo goals for F18 cycle
by Buddhike Kurera 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hello Folks, As discussed following would be my goals towards the F18 cycle. My main goal would be improving the swag management/supply within APAC region. Since countries with in APAC have conflicts with taxation my goal is not establishing a central point where swags are produced and distributed. But as much as possible I will be trying to come up with a good plan with the help of FAm with in the region. Once established this would help us to improve the quality of events with swags at the right time. Before the term ends will come up with a solution which increases the support towards FAm within the region in terms of swags availability. Beside I ll try my best to represent APAC FAms and their needs. Supporting them and making them comfortable as far as possible. This is not a quantitative goal but I would like to set it and see how much I could reach/ satisfy their needed at the right time(when support is needed). Thanks ! -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera(bckurera) Fedora Ambassadors, Free Media, Design Team Email: bckurera(a)fedoraproject.org | IRC: bckurera | User: Bckurera

JAX Community Night - might interest ARM, Java, and rich web developers
by Sarah White 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi, JAXConf is a conference focused on Java and rich web development. During the conference they will be hosting a free community night on Monday, July 9, 2012 that will include a reception, keynote, and several sessions. The event will be held at the Mission Bay Convention Center at UCSF in San Francisco, CA. Doors open at 5:45 PM. One of the open sessions that may be of particular interest to the Fedora Community is Simon Maple's live demo session of a Raspberry Pi running Debian Linux, Java and WebSphere App Server. I'll see if I can get him to try out F17 with AS 7 the next time he wants to test the Pi:) For much more information check out the Fedora JAX wiki page [1] or the JAXConf Community Night registration page [2]. Note: Community Night registration is free but spaces are limited! Cheers, Sarah (graphite6) [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jax_US_2012 [2] http://jaxconf.com/2012/communitynight/
