T-shirt for each F19 release party organizer
by Jiri Eischmann
Hi,
in FAmSCo, we've been discussing how to appreciate people who organize
release parties. In the past, we always picked the best parties and gave
their organizers some budget for a nice dinner. But picking just a few
parties was not IMHO very fortunate because all organizers deserve some
"thank you" gift.
This time, we'd like to try something new. One of the ideas is to give
every release party event owner a special Fedora 19 T-shirt.
Before we spin off something, I'd like to start a broader discussion.
I'm especially appealing to the regions if they can figure out what cost
it would bring to send a T-shirt to every release party in their region
and if they're able to produce the T-shirts locally or if it's better to
produce them centrally for the whole world.
The outcome of the discussion should be what the whole thing would cost
and if ambassadors even like it and it's worth the effort. Alternative
ideas are also welcome.

by S.Kemter
Hi,
the CfP for FrOSCon for talks as for projects and devrooms will end soon.
Felix Kaechle already requested an booth for us -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FrOSCon_2013
We had last year an DevRoom where we had in cooperation with Mageia,
openSUSE, Centos a nice schedule about RPM packaging.
The question now is do we want an DevRoom again and what to do in it? Any
suggestions ?

MOSSCon 2013 - Conference in Louisville, KY
by Gent Thaçi
Hey y'all.
I am Gent, a currently-silent Fedora ambassador based in Huntsville, AL,
for at least three more weeks, since I am doing an exchange program and I
am going back to my home town in Prishtina, Kosovo.
A dear friend of mine who is also a part of the exchange program is
co-organizing a conference in Lousville on *May 18 to 19*.
This is very late but I was just wondering if there are Ambassadors in the
area who could attend or even set a table for Fedora would be cool. I am
finishing my final exams and didn't have time to fly over there to present
Fedora because otherwise I would be ready in months ahead and proudly ready
to present Fedora. And yes I could have notified you guys ahead too but I
am really sorry, indeed.
To attend the conference costs $35 online or you could pay $50 at the
entrance. There will be tables offered to you if you are planning to
present Fedora, just saying, I am sorry again.
Find more information about the website in the text below:
*MOSSCon 2013*
*Free & Open Source Software has, for years, brought together the best and
brightest developers to produce software products that rival, on every
level, the proprietary solutions with massive marketing budgets behind
them. Online, the community grows everyday; more and more, businesses of
all sizes are realizing the power that open source solutions give their
operation; off-line, the open source community is scattered. *
*MOSSCon** (Midwest Open Source Software Conference) brings together these
developers, product managers, users, businesses, thought leaders,
educators, and more to network and learn about the newest advancements in
open source products, and the benefits these products provide to the
operation of these businesses. Through a combination of sessions, keynotes,
workshops, exhibit space, and networking times, MOSSCon delivers the
perfect venue to reach, meet, and mingle with the Open Source Community.*
*MOSSCon team **is** look**ing** forward to create an event that the entire
Open Source Software community can benefit from! Available to both the
general public and the technical community, with the lowest price possible,
this conference will **be** offer**ing** the attendees**:** 22
presentations and 6 workshops **from **1**9 local and regional s**peakers.
Big players in today's OSS community (Apache Software Foundation, CISCO,
RedHat, Mozilla, Eucalyptus etc) covering topics in areas such as security,
high performance computing, cloud systems, web and mobile development, open
government data, maps and much more!*
MOSSCon is a community driven conference; *"By the people, for the people"
as we like to say it, o*rganized for the first time in Kentucky by KYOSS
(Kentucky Open Source Software Society) and a group of enthusiasts who
share the same vision that the software should be Free and Open to the
community to develop and adapt it to their needs. A* group of enthusiasts
of all age groups that is established to promote software freedom, open
source software, free culture and open knowledge, a global movement that
originally started more than 25 years ago.*
*REGISTRATION FOR MOSSCon 2013 IS OPEN!*

Flock 2013
by Tom Callaway
Hello Ambassadors (and FAmSCo)!
Hopefully by now, you have heard about Flock, the new Fedora contributor
conference in Charleston, SC, USA (August 9 - 12, 2013).
I wanted to extend a personal invitation to all Fedora ambassadors to
attend Flock. Each and every one of you represents the heart and soul of
the Fedora Community. We will have some funding available to cover
travel and lodging costs, but priority will be given to those who are
accepted to speak (or lead a workshop, hackfest/sprint), so please,
consider submitting a talk/workshop/hackfest/sprint for consideration now!
For more information about Flock, see the website:
http://flocktofedora.org/
To register and submit a talk/workshop/hackfest/sprint proposal, go to:
http://flock-lmacken.rhcloud.com/
Additionally, I wanted to extend a special invitation to the active
members of FAmSCo. We would LOVE it if you could have an in-person
FAmSCo meeting at Flock
Finally, I would like to ask FAmSCo to appoint one of its members to
serve on the Flock scheduling committee. This committee will meet to
review the submitted sessions (and the votes given to those sessions by
the community), and determine the final Flock schedule. This work will
likely not happen until June, but we want to get the committee in place
before this.
Thank you,
~tom
