FAD EMEA 2016 - Call for bids
by Zacharias Mitzelos 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hello everyone, It's time to start planning for our annual EMEA FAD! The EMEA FAD is an annual planning event for the EMEA community. Active ambassadors from various countries get together to discuss what activities we should do in the next year, what events to attend, and what swag to produce. The main outcome of this event is the EMEA budget proposal for the next fiscal year which includes a list of events we will spend money on, Fedora media production, and swag production. This 2-day event is usually hosted in early December, and we don't have a location yet, so I'd like to ask you all to consider submitting a bid for a potential location to host the EMEA FAD this year. The German community was organizing these FADs over the past few years., and you can get an idea from the previous FADs: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Rheinland_2014 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Rheinfelden_2013 There is also a FAD wiki template that you can use to organize your proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:FAD Please post a link of your proposal here. Thanks, Zacharias -- Zacharias Mitzelos <mitzie at mitzelos dot com> mitzie on freenode http://zacharias.mitzelos.com

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

by Till Maas 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, from 5 November to 6 November there will the conference OpenRheinRuhr in Oberhausen, Germany. Fedora participated there in the past [1] and I am wondering if there are others that are interested in joining me to promote Fedora there. If I get some positive feedback I will prepare a new wiki page with up-to-date information. Kind regards Till [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenRheinRuhr_2014

Shipping tips wiki page
by Nemanja Milosevic 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hello all, Because of recent troubles with customs in my country and not being able to receive media and other Fedora materials, I started working on this wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_tips As you can see it's a collection of shipping tips or more precisely how the package should be marked so it can clear customs more easily. I know this isn't an issue for folks living in USA or EU countries but it may be helpful to others. Please consider contributing by adding your country to the list with your custom regulations so it is more easier to send packages between us contributors. Hope you all are having a great day, Kind regards, Nemanja
