Let's equip our Communities in EMEA
by Giannis Konstantinidis 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hello everyone, during the last EMEA irc meeting, I proposed that we should make sure all active communities within our region are equipped with basic booth equipment such as roll-up banners and tableclothes. Currently, there is just one or two tableclothes for the whole region. Not every community has its own roll-up banners and while some do, these are not anymore in a proper working condition (e.g. colors have started fading out, stands are showing signs of heavy use). Spending budget on such an initiative can be considered a good investment, since the equipment produced will last for years and will enable our communities to look overall more professional when representing the project during events and conferences. We still have a significant amount of the current fiscal year's budget unspent and we can definitely use some of it. Does your community lack some booth equipment? Please visit the following wiki page and let us know: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/Community_Equipment Ideas, thoughts, feedback? -Giannis -- Giannis Konstantinidis giannis(a)konstantinidis.cc http://konstantinidis.cc giannisk on irc.freenode.net

Final Request for Information: Budget Numbers and Delegates
by Remy DeCausemaker 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Ambassadors, As some of you may have noticed by now, the new Budget site for Fedora has been pushed to Production! Production: http://budget.fedoraproject.org Source: http://pagure.io/fedora-websites This site is part of the new Budget.next process you may recall from emails previously on this list: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Budget.next In keeping with the process there, I'm gathering all the information needed to comply with our revised policies. This email is a *final* request for three (3) items of information we need from each region: FY16 Budget Report FY17 Budget Proposed FY17 Regional Delegates Here is what we have had reported thusfar: APAC -------- - FY16 Budget Report: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/APAC/Budget:2016 - FY17 Budget Proposed: _____ - FY17 Regional Delegates: ______ LATAM --------- - FY16 Budget Report: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/LATAM/Budget:2016 - FY17 Budget Proposed: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/LATAM/Budget:2017 - FY17 Regional Delegates: _____ NA ---- - FY16 Budget Report: _______ - FY17 Budget Proposed: _______ - FY17 Regional Delegate Selections: https://budget.fedoraproject.org/#delegates EMEA --------- - FY16 Budget Report: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11nWHrooCwoiWqGx4iEUnITQAWwQrQ6_2ito… - FY17 Budget Proposed: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IAt2udlv-gwTjUYfhqvNOnwL_1FH_NC4Aho… - FY17 Regional Delegates: _________ Please be sure that the links above reflect the latest information for your region, as we will be using it to determine the soon-to-be-released Fedora Budget for FY17. Without having a FY17 Proposed Budget (let alone a completed FY16 Budget Report from last year) it will be difficult to decide how much budget to allocate to your region in FY17. Regions without proposed and reported budgets run the risk of having their budgets allocated centrally by the council until in compliance with the process. This is *not* the preferred or ideal method of budgeting, and would be an unnecessary burden on both the council and the regions. It is possible that I have either misplaced your responses, or have not looked in the correct places where this information is historically tracked, so if your region's information is missing, please accept my apologies and respond here on the ambassador list with updated links and/or information. In the future, we will be utilizing a repository on Pagure to track budget and delegate information. We have discussed the possibility of using this repository to automatically update the Budget site in production, but for now, consider it a static repository of documents and data. https://pagure.io/budget Thank you all for your patience as we transition into this new era of budget transparency. It is my hope that we can stay on top of the process this year, streamline the reporting requirements, and thereby streamline the reimbursement process, while improving information access to everyone in Fedora :) Looking Forward, --RemyD. -- Remy DeCausemaker Fedora Community Lead & Council <decause(a)redhat.com> https://whatcanidoforfedora.org

Golden chance to translate Fedora 24 in your language
by Jona Azizaj 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Out of the six billion people in the world, only 339 million have English as a first language. The importance of English in global business increases the number of English speakers, but the people learning are taking English on as a second language. A notable number of users prefer products in their own language. In the Fedora Globalization (G11n) group, we are making this happen. The efforts are huge, and kudos to all our contributors.If you are a non-English user in Fedora and want to help improve translations in your native language, this is your time to contribute! A virtual Fedora translation sprint is coming up soon for Fedora 24 GUI applications. Although it is a virtual event, if there are more contributors at a single location, they can gather together at an available place and work together.If any Ambassadors have this plan, please contact the G11n list with your requirements. The translation sprint is happening according to the Fedora 24 schedule. There is a good chance to get your own contributions into Fedora 24! So what are you waiting for? The vFAD is starting from April 1 – 5, 2016. Not sure how to contribute? Have a look at our new article published on the CommBlog.> https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/translate-fedora-24-in-your-languag… Thanks :) ~Jona

Reimbursement Status
by Joerg Simon 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Dear Ambassadors, i know that some of you wait for reimbursements at the moment - particular in EMEA. Sorry for that! Due to a Banking mistake (by the bank, not by redhat) my card was not recharged during the February cycle. We are working on it to solve it asap. Be aware that after recharge i have 3000,-USD to spend on the card - so it is likely that we hit the cc-limit and not all can reimbursed during this cycle. thanks for your patience Joerg -- Joerg (kital) Simon jsimon(a)fedoraproject.org https://about.me/joerg.simon Key Fingerprint: 3691 0989 2DCA 58A2 8D1F 2CAC C823 558E 5B5B 5688 Call trans opt: received. 2-19-98 13:24:18 REC:Loc Trace program: running wake up, Neo... the matrix has you follow the white rabbit. knock, knock, Neo.

Curious, did you also have any ideas on ways that non-academic professionals in academic settings can contribute? I'm assuming this might be like a system administrator at a school, or a similar type of position. I was just curious if you had any ideas off the top of your head in terms of how they could contribute within their role. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[APAC] Poll about Rootconf 2016 budget
by P J P 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hello, So far Red Hat has been a sponsor at an yearly 'Rootconf' conference in Bangalore, India.But this year they could not accommodate it into budget. Please see: -> https://rootconf.in/2016/ We(Fedora) has an allocated ~300/- USD budget for this event. -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Singapore_2015/Events I spoke to the event organizers for having a Fedora booth at Rootconf, they are looking for about Rs 50,000/-(=~ 750 USD) for a booth. This means, we _may not_ have budget for any travel subsidies for attendees. I was wondering if it'd be possible for us to raise our allocated(USD 300/-) budget by some margin? Maybe around ~500 USD? I'm negotiating with the organizers and also trying to find out if we could raise the balance amount in anyway. We need confirmations from APAC(non-India) ambassadors to raise our allocated Fedora budget for the Rootconf 2016. If it's okay with you, please vote for the same here. Thank you. --- -P J P http://feedmug.com

Regions map marks Iceland as North America (rather EMEA)
by Robert Scheck 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Good evening, why do we mark Iceland on our regions map as North America (rather EMEA)? Just to avoid misunderstandings, I am talking about: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors#Where_are_we.3F If Wikipedia isn't wrong, Iceland is closer to continental Europe than to mainland North America through ;-) Personally I would treat Iceland to Europe, thus to EMEA - and Wikipedia's EMEA page would agree here, too. And https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService/Verification also marks Iceland as part of EMEA (as I would expect), so do we have a bug on the regions map maybe? Whatever we agree on (added an Icelander to Cc), it would be great to make this at least consistent across the wiki pages :) Greetings, Robert

I completely agree with the points you mentioned. However, when it comes to finding ways to deploy and implement this in schools, I'm definitely not an expert nor will I act like I am. Perhaps Remy could chime in on this specifically because it definitely is within his realm of expertise from his time at RIT. I think this thread in itself could make a good topic for the next CommOps meeting! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

FAmSCo Meeting 9 March Concerns
by Jona Azizaj 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hi there, Jona here, Fedora Ambassador from Albania. I saw it fit to write to the mailing list after being looped in one of the meetings FAmSCo had yesterday on 9th March. I try to regularly check the logs of the meetings which feel important to me, so the last FAmSCo meeting was no exception here. Somewhere down the line in the meeting, around 15:43 in the log [1] a discussion around the definition of "community" in Albania and Greece sparked, specifically initiated by Robert Scheck, which on behalf of the community I represent, we find troubling: - "Sorry, but you can not treat Albania as a real community so far. We had the same "community" in Greece some years ago - and after 2 years, most of them went away...to Mozilla." - "a community is something that exists for really a lot of years and is healthy" Although initially a surprising statement, I went on to read further clarification, however there was no resolution found, with the suggestion coming up that this should be taken to the mailing list, which I am doing so hereby. So, since there has been a discussion taking place where Albania's contributions (and so also my contributions) have been mentioned without me being present, I would hate to keep silent about this. As someone who led grassroots efforts to start up the Fedora community in Albania, dedicating more time to the Fedora project than anything else in my free time, seeing comments like these from a fellow Fedora Ambassador (let alone mentor) is insulting to the hundreds of hours of work put in by fellow community members in Albania, including myself. Seeing myself in this position, I also doubt that any contributor from Greece feels comfortable in a similar fashion with these comments. I didn't want this topic to sink in the meeting logs, so I brought it up here in the mailing list to gather your general feedback and thoughts on this matter (and to avoid this in the future ideally). I am deeply concerned with comments like this out of nowhere, and think that there are others sharing my concerns. On behalf of the Albanian Fedora community.

Fedora 24 Alpha Release Readiness Meeting, Thursday, March 17 @ 19:00 UTC
by Jan Kurik 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting for the Fedora 24 Alpha Release Readiness Meeting meeting. The meeting is going to be held on Thursday, March 17, 2016 19:00 UTC. Please check the [FedoCal] link for your time zone. We will meet to make sure we are coordinated and ready for the Alpha release of Fedora 24 on Tuesday, March 22nd, 2016. Please note that this meeting is going to be held even if the release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two hours earlier.

OSCON 16
by Matthew Miller 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Yeesh, this is expensive. The booth cost alone is ... well, it's like airfare for three or four contributors from the west coast US or LATAM to Flock, or twice that many from the east coast or APAC. I know this is a big, high-profile conference, but... is it worth it? What do we get out of it? Since it's _already_ an open source conference, how does our presence advance the Fedora mission? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

I think your report is something everyone in the Project should at least look over to see the kind of stories that can be told with our existing infrastructure, like Badges and fedmsg (looking forward to taking a look at BrickHack next)! I'm CCing a few extra lists for this reply: * Ambassadors: Great read to see how we can measure impact at events and justify an event from a budget perspective by finding a way to turn the "people interactions" into quantifiable data * Social Media / Marketing: This would be a great thing to highlight on the official Fedora feeds. I'm going to post it to /r/Fedora on Reddit and the Telegram announcement group momentarily. Getting this on Facebook / Twitter / Google+ would be a great thing to do! If anyone from these other lists has feedback on the actual article or wants to discuss it further, please make sure you reply to the CommOps list to prevent cross-posting across the lists.

Hey Neville, Thanks for chiming in on this topic. I definitely agree that getting teachers and academic faculty involved as Campus Ambassadors is a crucial and important dynamic. Like you noted, there is a much larger window for how long the faculty member can impact youth and introduce a new generation to Linux and Fedora. I'm trying to think of a way to frame this within the current draft on the wiki, but I'm thinking maybe it becomes a two-pronged rewrite. There could be a section for students and another section for teachers / faculty to get involved as Campus Ambassadors. My concerns are whether it would be confusing to keep the students in the same mailing list / agenda planning as faculty members. Both students and faculty may need resources unique from one another in terms of guidance or strategical planning for events. What do you all think about adding the faculty dynamic to the Campus Ambassadors rewrite? -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Diversity Meeting - Tomorrow 12:30UTC
by María Leandro 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

Hello all. As some of you might have heard, I've been AFK due personal reasons, yet, we are back on business. I need to thank you all for your understanding and support. In order to retrieve some of the lost time, I've moved the meeting for tomorrow at 12:30UTC [0] at the #Fedora-diversity channel. I would like to discuss the ideas already proposed, hear about yours and make plans to kickstart the efforts into making everyone feel comfortable within our community. Some of the topics we will discuss are: * Diversity Survey (we already have some ideas for the questions that we would like to discuss) * Reports (mostly based on our current contributors - how and when to gather) * Inclusion programs (please, if you are part of one or know some, don't forget to step by) * Your ideas!!! Everyone is invited, hope to see you all there!

EMEA Ambassadors Meeting Minutes 2016-03-02

Marketing materials for Python events
by Jiri Eischmann 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Hi, as Matthew announced at DevConf.cz our primary marketing focus for this year are Python developers. In EMEA, we've reacted and increased the number of Python events in the list of planned events (several PyCons, planning to be at EuroPython again...), but I realized we're not ready for that at all, or at least I'm not aware of anything. We have no marketing materials. Miro created a "Fedora loves Python" sticker for Python CZ, but that's all we have in EMEA. Today, we were offered an opportunity to add our swag in conference bags at PyCon SK, but we don't have anything usable. Something like a flyer that explains why Fedora is the right system for a Python developer would be great. And it's not only about marketing materials, ambassadors should get instructions what to show Python developers, so that it won't end up like showcasing a la "hey, Fedora is cool, it has Firefox, LibreOffice,... and look it has windows just like Windows or Mac". So we would definitely need at least some talking points. Is it something that is already being worked on or we have to start it? If we spend a sizable amount of money to send people to Python conferences, we should get maximum out of it. Jiri

The Fedora Budget Website--Now in staging!
by Remy DeCausemaker 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

It's Alive! ======= After working for the past couple of weeks with the websites and infrastructure teams, I'm pleased to share with you all https://budget.stg.fedoraproject.org/ Thank you nb, robyduck, nirik, puiterwijk, and threebean for your patience and mentorship :) So now, budget stakeholders and leaders (Ambassadors, Council, and FAmSCo) you can visit the site and provide feedback and input. The actual budget numbers for this year ARE NOT ACTUALLY ZERO, so don't panic or anything, they just haven't been reported yet ;) When they are, I will update the website accordingly. Contributing to Budget.fp.o ===================== If you would like to help work on the budget site itself (PR's are certainly welcome) please join #fedora-websites on Freenode and talk to the team there first. The team is transitioning where our repositories are hosted, and are making some changes to the fedora-web workflow (while branching for F24-alpha.) In the future, you should be able to clone the source for the budget site (and the other Fedora Websites) at https://pagure.io/fedora-websites. ***WARNING*** Since our production environment is built from the master branch, be sure to be working in an alternate branch (git branch budget, for example) Starting now, you can file tickets for the budget site on the Fedora-websites repo on pagure: https://pagure.io/fedora-websites Budget Tracking -- Still a Regional Responsibility ====================================== I will be relying on ambassadors to be tracking your expenditures (like you always have) so I can be updating the budget numbers section on a quarterly basis, with reimbursements depending on event reports from regional delegates. I will help report your budgets on http://budget.fedoraproject.org (coming soon), but it is still up to the REGIONS to keep as budget is spent. The good news though, is that now you have The Community Operations (CommOps) team here to help support publishing event reports and gathering and reporting metrics. Budget Data and Files ================= When there are working budget documents, data, and information fit for public consumption, I have created a new repo for sharing such files at: https://pagure.io/budget (it is mostly empty for now, but feel free to start putting your proposed budgets there if you have them Ambassadors.) There is in the plans (but not yet implemented) the idea that we can use webhooks or other git-magic to have the budget numbers and contacts on budget.fp.o update automatically based on the data in this repo, but that will likely be a feature for v2.0. For now, I'm OK with starting manually until we hammer out the details and settle on a process. Regional Delegates =============== I would like to start adding all the Regional Delegate selections to our staging instance in preparation for the site hitting production in the next week or two, starting now. So, if your region has chosen delegates already, you can respond here with their names and email addresses, and I will add them to the site. Alternatively, you could also file tickets on the budget repo in pagure, (or file pull requests updating your regional delegation's .yaml file) and I will merge/close them as I update the site. ***The budget process is going to move quickly from here, so Ambassadors please have your delegation choices sent to me, filed into tickets, or included in a pull-request by Friday March 4th.*** Budget.next and The Future ====================== I'm excited to help Ambassadors and Project Leadership bring more transparency to the budget process--one of my core charters as the first ever Fedora Community Lead. I am hopeful we can develop a process that will improve reimbursement turn-around, while creating metrics on action and impact we can use to strategically adjust and improve our financial situation in the future. Looking Forward, --RemyD. P.S. - I've cc'd a number of public lists in this email, so take special care when replying to this post. -- Remy DeCausemaker Fedora Community Lead & Council <decause(a)redhat.com> https://whatcanidoforfedora.org
