picture book update
by Max Spevack 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

In summary, we need to separate CONTENT CREATION and DISTRIBUTION into two separate tasks. CONTENT CREATION ================ We need to read over their file creation guide as well as their cover template generator, and their color cover/interior suggestions/guidelines. The sales guy basically said that our job is to deliver them a .pdf file, so anything we use to create content that can spit out a .pdf is going to be ok, but he urged us to read those documents to be sure. We can choose 7x10, 8x10, or 8.5x11 as the "trim" size. They are mailing a sample of their work to Red Hat in Raleigh, where I will be next week to take a look at it. DISTRIBUTION ============ SETUP FEE -- $75 PROOF FEE -- $15 + $.09 per page = $22.20 1-49 copies: $9.50 each 50-99 copies: $9.025 each 100-249 copies: $8.55 each 250-499 copies: $7.60 each 500+ copies: $7.125 each 200 copies will run us $1807.20 plus tax ($9.04 each) 300 copies will run us $2377.20 plus tax ($7.92 each) 400 copies will run us $3137.20 plus tax ($7.84 each) 500 copies will run us $3659.70 plus tax ($7.32 each) We can either (a) do whatever we want with the books or (b) do whatever we want with some of the books and put the others on Amazon, etc. ========= My recommendation is that we continue working to produce the book, and assuming that the quality of their sample is good, we go with LSI. --Max

Marketing idea mandatory for everybody
by Gerold 14 Apr '09

Hello everybody out there, what do you think about "name plates" like https://kermit.homelinux.net/misc/nameplate.jpg ? I would like to see every Ambassador with such a name plate (around the world) at the Release Parties, Talks, Events and btw. .... at Linuxtag, Fedora related Speakers from LinuxTag and FUDCon will have such a name plate :-) Can I have your "vote" for a mandatory "Standard name plate for the Release Cycle of F11"? -- Regards Gerold Kassube Fedora Ambassador Deutschland / Germany Schweiz / Switzerland Email: GeroldKa(a)fedoraproject.org 1024D/F33128B9 4ABC A903 F1F4 D9CC C422 AACA EDF1 DF42 F331 28B9

New Meeting Time Tomorrow 2009.04.14 @ 20.00 UTC
by Jack Aboutboul 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

Hey Guys, Sorry I sent this earlier today from my friends computer and was wondering why it didn't show up. He just emailed me now telling me I sent mail through his account. Sorry guys!! Hey Everyone, We have a new meeting time for tomorrow. We are going to go to non-utc fixed, which means we are going back to 20.00 UTC which is 4pm Eastern and 1pm Pacific. This will allow more of our european counterparts to be active, since before it would have meant them being at a meeting at 11pm. See you tomorrow! Jack

Meeting schedule, do we need strict UTC?
by Steven Moix 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

Hello all, Some months ago, we all voted to hold our IRC meetings at 21h UTC. This was perfectly fine for the continental-European people during the winter (we are at UTC+1) because the meetings were held at 22h. Now let's introduce Daylight Savings Time (DST) to the party...it adds another hour in the summer, which brings the meeting to 23h. It's clearly too late for me... Résumé: Winter: meeting at 22h Summer: meeting at 23h So my question is...can we hold the meetings at 21h UTC in the winter and at 20h UTC in the summer? It would have the effect to keep a constant meeting time (22h) during the whole year for us... Any comments? Steven

Tutorial: Build Your Own Linux Distro
by Rahul Sundaram 11 Apr '09

11 Apr '09

Hi step by step guide on using revisor to customize and create your own distribution derived from Fedora http://www.pcplus.co.uk/node/3020 "We're used to thinking of Linux distributions being set in stone. They're either KDE or Gnome, use a certain kernel and bundle certain applications. But this doesn't have to be the case. If you find yourself making the same adjustments each time you install a new distribution, it's worth creating your own customised version. Revisor is a tool that lets you do just this, and in this tutorial, we'll show you how..." Rahul
