[Fwd: Alpha Release Readiness]

[John Poelstra]

So far I have not heard from anyone from the Ambassadors team.  I need a 
representative to add to the call-in email ASAP.

John

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the Alpha Release for Fedora 11 scheduled for Tuesday, February 3,
2009, this means it is time to meet again with representatives from each
of the teams to have our release readiness meeting.  We usually have
this meeting at 18:00 UTC (13:00 EST) the Wednesday before, which means
next Wednesday, January 28, 2009, is the day.

On Monday, January 26, 2009, I will be sending out the dial-in
information and a meeting reminder to all the attendees.

In the meantime I need to know who will be representing your group at
these meetings for the Fedora 11 meetings.  Usually this is the
designated team leader, but I wanted to ask to make sure you coordinate
within your team to make sure someone comes.  When responding to this
list, please CC me so that I am sure to see the reply.

This message is going out to the respective mailings lists for these groups:

Ambassadors
Artwork/Design
Documentation
FESCo
Infrastructure
Marketing
Quality
Release Engineering
Translation
Websites

Thanks,
John

Normally this would be me, John, but I am double-booked with another 
meeting.  I assume that Karsten will be representing Docs, and I'll ask 
him to represent Ambassadors as well, and fill me in on whatever I need 
to know.

Thanks,
Max

I opened the discussion in FAmSCo list the same day you sent the
invite, asking someone with good skill in oral english to give an
hand. BTW, as many of us suggested Max and he is pointing to Karsten,
FAmSCo will give him all the informations about what we are planning
and what we will expect this release cycle.

Thank you

Thanks, I'll be there; someone else is representing Docs this time.
I'm not sure what specific items we have other than media printing.

Do we want to suggest to people they have release parties on a later
date if they want media?

What would be such a date?

Generally REs are organized in a wide range (from 1 day to 1 month
after the release), by the way,  your idea is an interesting one:
maybe it could be useful to plan media production in a period of time
not far from the release (1/2 weeks), using local contacts and let the
local distribution machine working like is working now.

>  What would be such a date? 
Release parties haven't a specify date: we see this system is working
well, just because people are free to choose a date that fit their
availability and could work for each local area. Maybe we could
address people on a specific period (e.g. in the 3 days after the
release), but I think the freedom we had in the past give us amazing
results.

Naturally what I'm saying is pondered according to the feedbacks we
received during the last Release Events. Actually we haven't defined a
strategy and FAmSCo plans to start the discussion (and extend in this
list) in the first weeks of February, after FOSDEM (I couldn't be
there, but I invite attendees to think about REs).

Naturally I invite all the community members to give their POV: you
are the really events makers so you are a crucial mile stone,
necessary to make Release Events a real interesting/ambazing/unique
initiative.

Karsten, I'm going to keep you constantly update on the REs event
planning status. I'm sure during FAmSCo meetings and in the threads
that are going to be opened in this list, we could be able to organize
something special.

John sent the email in Ambassadors List, and he did right. BTW,
FAmSCo, as representing body of Ambassadors and coordinator of Release
Events initiative, had a deep discussion in its list and thought at
Max, as FAmSCo member and, logicically, as community representative,
with his great speaking and big experience (we publicly would have
discuss about it during this Thursday IRC meeting).

It's a honour to see people, like you Hector, interested in taking
responsibility in the project. FAmSCo is really paying attention to
this amazing availability in order to give ambassadors, who gave their
availability and passion, to handle important and key activities. So,
stay sure we will start soon talking about Release Events and how to
organize them and, if you want, you will take part of this amazing and
crucial initiative.

Remember: Ambassadors Project without ambassadors community is worth
nothing: We need all of you in order to achieve results and to give
Fedora its right representation and value.

Thank you for your precious availability

Francesco Ugolini

p.s. I invite people to take a look at
fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/TasksList in
order to have a better look to what FAmSCo is doing and is planning to
do soon (it's schematic but it's 10000 words worth).
