Welcome Back LordDrachenblut!
We're thrilled that you would like to represent Fedora at SCALE!
Below you will find a number of links to places where you can find the
specific information you requested, but first, you should absolutely join
#fedora-ambassadors on Freenode and hang out there (My nick is decause if
ever you want to ping me directly :) ), and subscribe to the ambassadors'
mailing list if you haven't already.
General Ambassador Information:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors
Specific Ambassador Information:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_FAQ
Each Region has their own rules/policies for the most part, but for North
America, all the places you want to request resources that require private
information like shipping addresses (which includes things like Swag) can
be routed through the FAMNA request tracker here:
https://fedorahosted.org/famnarequests/
You'll need to go through the process of officially becoming a North
American Ambassador (instructions here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Join_start?rd=Ambassadors/Join )
but after that you can request swag for the event via the FAMNA request
tracker above.
As far as travel reimbursement, the Wiki page for that can be found here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Reimbursements
If you have other questions, stop by IRC and ask. My advice to you would be
that since Ambassadors are almost entirely volunteer driven, that you give
yourself *ample* time to apply and coordinate, and get your requests
submitted asap.
Good Luck, Happy Hacking, and see you in channel :)
--RemyD.
P.S. - You can also join #fedora-commops and #fedora-join on Freenode if
you're looking for other new-contributor-focused groups within the project.

Matt Williams (Lord Drachenblut) has put in some Fedora talks at SCALE this
January and wanted to know the process to apply for travel assistance as a
Fedora rep.
Also, he wanted to know how he could get some swag (stickers, etc) to pass
out at local meetups?
Peace,
Brian

Stuff That CommOps Helps With: 5tftw
by Remy DeCausemaker
Every week mattdm publishes his series "5 Things In Fedora This Week."
http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2015-10-30/
It is a *really* awesome regular feature on Fedora Magazine, and a great
way to get out the big news of the week to the community at large. This
list is *artisinally* crafted by the FPL himself (I know because I've been
watching him diligently do it each week since I got here.)
This is one of those parts of Fedora that falls *squarely* into our "Things
CommOps Helps With" bucket.
*Mission*: Add "5tftw" to the Commops Wiki page toolbox section, and point
to Fedora Magazine as a link. In the description, indicate that if folks
want to contribute, there are only 2 requirements: The "Thing" needs at
least ONE link, and can have a maximum of 5 sentences of descriptive text.
To contribute send your "Thing" to the CommOps mailing list, and in the
subject line 5tftw and the Date of the Friday of the week you want to
publish your "thing" on. (e.g. 5tftw 10/30/15)
Good Luck CommOps!
