[Bookmark] The four foundations are the core values of the Fedora community.
by sankarshan 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

The four foundations are the core values of the Fedora community. They sprung from work on the Fedora marketing plan, and have replaced the old "infinity, freedom, voice" slogan. That slogan originally emerged from the design of the Fedora logo. That design has become a very powerful and effective part of Fedora's brand and image, but does not sufficiently describe our core values in a clear and effective way. <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations> -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work

Fwd: [Ambassadors] remember the mission
by sankarshan 18 Feb '09

18 Feb '09

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Max Spevack <mspevack(a)redhat.com> Date: Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 11:13 PM Subject: [Ambassadors] remember the mission To: fedora-ambassadors-list(a)redhat.com When you put your Ambassadors hat on (as opposed to any of your other roles in Fedora), remember: (1) You give a face and a name to Fedora. You are a person, friendly and approachable. Fedora is big and scary, but you are going to help make sure that *one person* finds their way through all the confusion into the place where they can contribute. (2) You are the glue. You help connect different people in different parts of the Project, because you are always dealing with people whose interests are different. You should be eager and happy to work with other parts of Fedora to solve problems. (3) People are the key. Everything that we do -- events, budgets, swag, membership verifications, blogging -- it's all done as an attempt to make personal connections with folks who either want to use or contribute to Fedora. Places where Ambassadors get together are one of the few times that Fedora contributors have an opportunity to meet face to face (other than FUDCons and FADs). (4) You are the expert in your region. You understand the culture, the needs, and the best ways to communicate about Fedora and FOSS in your region. FAmSCo and other "leaders" in Fedora *work for you*, and need to listen to what you are saying makes sense. We can't ignore the global picture, but we need to be flexible in adapting to local needs. These are things I have been thinking about while reading ambassadors-list recently. --Max -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work

[Blog] FUDCons and FADs
by sankarshan 17 Feb '09

http://marilyn.frields.org:8080/~paul/wordpress/?p=1457 ... Anyone can set up a FAD — you just need a gathering of people, a place to convene, and a goal to achieve. We can help with a small budget for almost any FAD event that’s ready to make progress toward one or more goals of learning and doing. Remember that free software doesn’t just march ahead on its own — it takes the participation and contribution of people like you to keep moving forward. -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work

The Linux Users of Kalyani Govt. Engineering College(KGEC) are willing to organize an install fest. They need support like free media and expertise. I am willing to help them but I don't have DVDs neither can I arrange for them right now. If anybody can provide free media then it will be of great help. Please contact me if anybody has any DVDs or live cds with him. This saturday is a probable date for the install fest, so need to act fast. -- Rangeen Basu Roy Chowdhury sherry151(a)gmail.com !!!Windows is "micro"-soft[ware]..I like bigger things!!!

Malayalam not supported in Fedora 11 Alpha (Leonidas)
by Manilal K M 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hello all, I have just now tried the Live CD version of Fedora 11 Alpha and surprised to see that it doesn't have Malayalam support. The language is listed in the System->Administration->Language, but it's not listed in the login screen. Most of the other Indic languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, etc.. are included. It seems the Malayalam font packages are not included for the LiveCD. The ibus package has all the four supported Malayalam input methods and the locale files are also present. regards -- Manilal K M : മണിലാല്‍ കെ എം. http://libregeek.blogspot.com
