BSides conference, Washington DC USA Oct 21-23
by Paul W. Frields
Is there any Fedora Ambassador in the DC area who'd be interested in
working the booth at the BSides DC conference with a Red Hat colleague
during this October 21-23 event?
http://www.bsidesdc.org/
Red Hat is co-sponsoring the conference, and has table space. Due to
short notice, I'm not available that weekend due to other commitments.
I've ordered swag separately, though.
If you're an Ambassador interested in representing Fedora there,
please get in touch. The attendees at BSides are largely
Linux-friendly security practicioners. Fedora is known to be popular
around the DC area, due to Fedora's awesomeness :-), but also in part
to Red Hat's large government customer base.

[Minutes] [2016-10-13] FAmNA - WiCHacks, BrickHack, and more
by Justin W. Flory
Evening Ambassadors,
The weekly FAmNA meeting just came to a close. In tonight's meeting, we
had some new announcements (including a notice that we will probably
need to fit in new banners in the next fiscal year as the one of the
current set has a broken spring) and covered two new events in 2017,
WiCHacks and BrickHack.
More information is all below in the minutes. Hope to see you all next week!

The meeting is going to be held on Thursday, October 6th, 2016 at

We will meet to make sure we are coordinated and ready for the Beta

more team representatives will come to this meeting. This meeting
works best when we have representatives from all of the teams.
