Event reporting guidelines (reshare)
by Truong Anh Tuan
Hello friends,
Some events have just finished so I think it is a good time to (re)share
this guidelines [1] for people who got Fedora funds for travel subsidy.
Note that you need to write N-1 blog posts (N = number of event days)
You can also find some useful information how to write and what should be
included in the reports.
Have a good time!

Kind regards,

Hi,
I'm bringing an update on this issue. Based on the discussion in this
mailing list and in the ticket, we decided that any manual process for
removing "inactive" ambassadors is a no-go.
Pingou of Fedora Infra offered us a tool that would help us achieve what
we originally wanted to achieve.
The combination of FAS logs and datagrepper (that covers attending IRC
meetings, using tracs, sending emails to mailing lists, voting in Fedora
elections, writing blogposts in FP,...) can identify ambassadors who
haven't had any sign of online activity for the given time period (in
FAmSCo we agreed on 18 months, but it's still open) and may not be
interested in the project any more.
Those ambassadors would be notified by email that their account is going
to be flagged as inactive in e.g. 14 days. To avoid it, they can just
log in to FAS and they're fine for another 18 months.
I'd like to emphasize that no one is going to lose ambassador
membership. If someone meets the criteria and doesn't react to the
notification message his/her account will just be flagged as inactive
and his/her name won't be in the public list of ambassadors, but he/she
will keep the membership and can become active again just by logging in
to FAS and changing the status to active any time after the deadline.
It's not meant to judge someone's activity, it's more like "we haven't
seen you around online for some time, give us a wave if you're still
interested in the project".
In FAmSCo, we agreed this is a non-invasive solution with pretty much no
additional bureaucracy that would solve the problem. But we'd again like
to know your opinion.
Jiri

Re: [Ambassadors] Event report for Fedora meetup @ Bangalore on 8th March, 2014
by Ratnadeep Debnath
Hi all,
Finally, after a long time, we had a Fedora meetup today (March 8,
2014) in Bangalore at Red Hat's office in Bangalore.
The attendees for the event were:
- Anil Shah
- Varun Shastry
- Rejy M Cyriac
- Ratnadeep Debnath
- Sayan Chowdhury
- Sarup Banskota
Following is a summary of the discussions that took place in today's meetup:
Fedora monthly meetup
=================
We've decided to do a local Fedora meetup every month to discuss and
act on reaching out to more and more people in and around the city to
encourage usage of FOSS tools, Fedora and contributing back.
FAD
====
Once in a while, we decided have FADs where fellow Fedora folks get
together to share knowledge and hack on cool projects.
Reach out to colleges
================
In a slow and steady manner, we'd go to colleges and local LUGs and
conduct events and workshops to educate and inspire more people to
contribute to FOSS and Fedora.
Entry point for contributors
====================
We'd be working on creating the necessary tools to help newbies get
started with contributing to Fedora very easily. This is inspired from
http://www.whatcanidoformozilla.org/.
Please feel free to drop your comments and opinions on the above
topics discussed in today's meetup to help us do better job in
evangelising Fedora and inspiring people to contribute.
Regards,
rtnpro
