[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Fedora work in Sweden!

[mosp]

Hello mates ;)

I have a Fedora website up and running now. The base feels done, now i
need to translate as much as possible. Currently i am translating the
installation guide for FC4. After that i am going to translate stuff
like "managing software with yum" and other stuff from both
fedora.redhat.com and fedoraproject.org.

If there are any ambassadors that are involved in any specific projects,
for example some kind of software project for fedora core, please let me
know. I want to have descriptions of as many projects as possible at my
website.

If anyone have any suggestions on things to translate and publish, or
whatever, tell me... please... im all alone here ;)

website can be found at: http://fedora.kampnytt.com (i finally choose
xoop, mainly because other ambassadors seemes to use it, and it feels
good enough)

Now to something really frustrating. Ubuntu users are infecting the
Swedish community. Instead of helpning beginners with whatever distro
they have installed, these creepy ubuntu users convince the beginners to
 install ubuntu...

I am trying my best to promote Fedora Core, but also not to look down on
someone that have chosen another distro. Yesterday a beginner came to a
swedish linuxcommunity and had some software installation issues with
mandriva. A solution to his problem was easy, but instead they tricked
him to change distro to Ubuntu.

Its hard to be alone and fight this "infection" ;)

Ubuntu ships cds free all over the world to any one who wants it. The
deliverytime is a bit slow. Its produced cds where you get one install
cd and one livecd...
I feel that we in the Fedora community needs to start making Fedora
avaible in more ways. We really need a working and complete livecd for
either download och shipping.

Well, im going to continue my translating work.

Until next time..

This is wonderful work Mikael!

I've been thinking about this for a while. I think I would like to initiate a new
project beginning FC5 release date.

I'm going to call it "Fedora Free Media Project" and I'm going to start distributing
DVDs for free anyone who wants in US for now.

Yes, I'll burn myself and I'll send them myself.  Of course, I'm not a millionaire like
Ubuntu Founder, Mr. Shuttleworth but I think I can afford to send 5 or 6 DVDs a week.

I'll start putting my idea on a wiki and I welcome anyone who like to help me on this
project.

I've a little company where i ship open source software for free, i  
think that fedora have to invite other companies to burn and  
distribute the fedora cdrom, or invite computer sellers to select  
Fedora instead of Windows. It's the cheapest way to make fedora  
avaiable for all.

Yes, its a good idea, but the computer sellers is another kind of 
situation. Builders needs some support around the retail Linux 
installed. In argentina
exists two providers for builders. If you dont get the correct lead to 
Builders its impossible. The most important possibility is create a 
retail edition DVD
and some little enterprises around the countries give commercial support 
for the distribution. So this money get (in argentina gets until U$S 4-8 
per host installed year support)
part of this money can be delivered to burn more DVDs to give for all 
people around that.

The solution resides on get money to spread Fedora. This is my point of 
view, of course.

Hi Pablo,

If you support my proposal, please add yourself as a *distributor* with your location in 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia

Once again the key here is *Free* and I expect everyone in Fedora Community Free Media
Project distribute Fedora Media *Free* as much as possible in their community by themselves.

As I mentioned in my proposal, this program will not be roll out until FC5 release date,
which is March 20th:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia

To cut the cost and time, only DVD media will be distributed at that time.

We don't have any official DVD label but I'm planning to make one by then.

In the mean time, please follow a procedure described for Fedora Logo Policy:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Logo

Make sure to mention it will be used for Fedora Community Free Media Project.

I can help, but I don't have any company or anything massive I
probably can help like Thomas, distributing about 4 or 5 DVDs or CD
sets per week in Indonesia.

I have this in mind, how do we filter out people who want the dvd's,
on what base do we decide who and how many dvds should one receive,
etc. If there will be an online form for this, how do we coordinate
shipment?

I have many thoughts running about this, and above is just a few
random bugs which probably have very simple answers.. anyway, count me
in on this one :-)

Hi John,

Thank you for participation. This program is basically you run it on your own time with
your own resources. You can even make your own decision who gets the media. After all,
it's your time and money you'll be donating to promote the project in your local area.

I'll provide you any much support I can give you including Online Request Form and Media
Template. We'll be discussing more in detail by the time FC5 release date.

Please make sure to complete  Fedora Ambassadors Emails[1] and  Fedora Logo Policy[2] as
you'll be needed to distribute media with Logo.

Hi Thomas,

I'm doing this in Brazil for a while, but without a oficial page, people don't find me.

I can help you for Brazil requests.

Thanks,
