by Nemanja Milosevic
Hello all,
Just to let everyone know that call for papers for BalCCon2k19 is now open.
Balkan Computer Congress is an annual three days gathering of the international hacker community in the organization of LUGoNS – Linux Users Group of Novi Sad. The first part of the program has been envisaged to be a set of presentations, workshops and lectures on the current topics regarding privacy, technology, software development, free software & socio-political issues. Hands-on projects and hacking have been planned for the second part of the program.
The Location: Novi Sad is the center of Vojvodina, northern province of Serbia, famous for its multicultural history and active artistic and technological scene (e.g., music festival Exit). With a prestigious night life combined with the warm and welcoming character, Novi Sad offers inexpensive prices for lodging and dining, compared to the neighboring EU. If you’re in Novi Sad or nearby during these dates, this is the place you want to be!

SCaLE Status
by Scott Williams
I'd like to clarify some things for SCaLE, which is in three weeks from now.
It looks like Fedora Ambassadors are planning to represent Fedora at SCaLE
based on:
https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/17x/sponsor/fedora
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SCaLE_17X_Event
However, funding and event materials are still TBD:
https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/82
https://pagure.io/ambassadors-na/tasks/issue/200
Further, Alex Acosta is listed, but requires funding for a flight, so at
what point will it be too late to accommodate his travel?
Lastly, there is some confusion in that it seems juggler was the initial
owner and it changed to paradoxguitarist at some point, but
https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/82 hasn't been touched in about a month.
Would it be helpful to have an IRC meeting this evening so we can get all
parties in communication - juggler, paradoxguitarist, myself,
aacosta/douglax, nb, herlo, and bex? 5pm Pacific/8pm eastern?

Call for participation: FOSDEM 2019
by Zacharias Mitzelos
Hello ambassadors,
FOSDEM[0], the biggest free and non-commercial event organized by and for the community in Europe, is less than a month away. The conference will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on February 2 & 3. As every year, EMEA Ambassadors organize the booth at FOSDEM, where many developers, contributors and students visit it to discuss with us or get some swag.
This is an open call for Fedora ambassadors to participate in our booth at FOSDEM. Our theme is about extending the Fedora Project by developing new solutions, packaging, helping users get installed, and troubleshoot any errors that they may have. We are looking for experienced ambassadors to work with new users, and you must possess extensive knowledge around the not so technical stuff of the distribution. We want to focus on helping users be successful with Fedora, and not try to be a general helpdesk for all technologies as most of them have their own communities present. We want to focus on helping users be successful with Fedora, and not try to be a general helpdesk for all technologies as most of them have their own communities present. We are also welcoming new contributors who didn’t get the chance to come in the previous years. While we prefer contributors from EMEA to allow us to use our budget to bring the most contributors, we make our decision based on fit for our goals at the conference first and money second.
There is also some budget in place and we can provide travel and lodging funding to ambassadors in order to attend and assist at the booth. Sponsored ambassadors are expected to work for 8 hours at the booth during the two days of the conference. We will try to accommodate your needs, but we need to keep the booth fully staffed so we will be building the schedule for you. If you would like to request funding, open a funding request at the EMEA funding request tracker[1], explaining why you are asking for funding, why you should get it and how you are going to contribute to the booth. We will start reviewing requests on January 8, so submit early to get selected.
Have a nice weekend,
Zach
