# 214€ from CLT by ChitleshGoorah and JoergSimon - first deposit as an
example to follow
# One Polo-shirt model only for Fedora Booth staffs i.e public
shouldn't have this model - GeroldKassube
# For LinuxtagBerlin, new banners need to be made. Old ones aren't uptodate !
# Any ambassador who wants produce swag can use a (already owned)
Fedora id at santafetex - JoergSimon
# LinuxTagBerlin: JoergSimon can produce sails with lightmetall stands
but it will cost. JoergSimon will propose a price next week.
# Executive will possess accountdata and id in shops which will be
useful to produce swags or dvds (proposed by JoergSimon)
# ThomasCanniot - well if you are too create a non profit
organisation, and sell things through a shop, there are no tax at all
normally (or at least in france)
the account(proposed by JoergSimon) must be at the name of someone.
And this person, whoever it may be, can take the money and go away.
Even if it is someone we can have some trust in today. Moreover, if
this person happens to die for example accidently or has financial
problems, banks can take the money to reimbursed its debt

GeroldKassube:
from todays perspective it will have also more success to Fedora as
the basicaly planed event FOSDEM because we will try to have a big
event at LT with a install party,
Fedora will organize
- a troubleshooting contest
- a Fudcon
- the global launch of F7 (directly with a dedicated mirror on LT)
- a booth party
- and last but not least
we will have Max, spot and MikeMcGrath at the booth, at the FUDCon and
in a special workshop with Opensuse
[we will have also a dedicated "team" which meets end of march to
prepare all these things in Karlsruhe
the Team which prepares LT is done by: AndreasRau, ClausReheis,
FlorianBrand, JensKuehnel, ChitleshGoorah, JoergSimon and me
Claus is doing a special kind of massage for signed Attendees of the
LT for a Fedora Donation twice a day
Thanks FrancescoUgolini for chairing that meeting.
regards,
Chitlesh

DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 192 on Fedora
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
" As such, it looks like the most interesting delivery of the upcoming
release season will be coming from the Fedora project. The developers
have recently extended their testing cycle by a whole month to include a
fourth test release and the extent of the new features and improvements
in Fedora 7 seems lengthier than those in Ubuntu or Mandriva. The
merging of Core and Extras packages into one massive software
repository, dramatic improvements in boot speeds as well as the yum
package management system, and a new single-CD method of installing
Fedora from a live CD are all excellent improvements. While some of
these features have been available in other distributions, it's nice to
see that the Fedora development team is willing to learn and adopt
successful technologies developed elsewhere. That, combined with their
own innovations, should guarantee a highly interesting Fedora 7 in May
this year"

Self introduction about Robert Scheck
by Robert Scheck
Hello folks,
my name is Scheck, Robert Scheck. Currently, I'm 21 years old and I'm from
Germany. Maybe you know my name from Bugzilla reports after updating my
development system to Fedora Core Development, anciently called Rawhide.
I'm also writing some e-mails from time to time to fedora-devel-list and
fedora-extras-list.
Professionally, I'm a programmer at Linux and ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning) environments working for a young and tiny IT company called ETES
GmbH. Some time before I did my apprenticeship to IT specialist field
systems integration at Hewlett-Packard Germany as result of my personal
interest in computers started in December 1998. And in July 2004, I did my
certification as Red Hat Certified Technician - during my apprenticeship,
but paid by me! ;-)
As you surely recognized, I'm more technical related, thus I'm maintainer
for 10 packages in Fedora Extras. Oh, but I'm not a greenhorn regarding the
representation of company, projects and products: At the CeBIT 2003 in
Hannover/Germany I was presenting "wireless clinic" and mobile solutions
for on-site technicians for HP - but on the Microsoft booth while listening
and watching the Microsoft Windows 2003 Server clips and announcements.
It's no joke, even it maybe sounds funny for a Linux guy. Of course I did
the same at the HP booth when switching with colleagues from there...
When thinking about this, it's a good time to repent at the LinuxTag 2007
in Berlin/Germany which is my initial goal as Fedora Ambassador. At first,
I'll mainly support Gerold Kassube and Florian Brand until things for the
days are clarified. Finally I want to say thanks to Gerold, who encouraged
me to walk this way and to get an ambassador.
Greetings,
Robert
