There can Ambassadors suggest ideas for Fedora 10?

Last time, it was a long discuss with Fedora Developers, It´s a good idea
have a little board with some ideas for Fedora 10 from Ambassadors
(Ambassadors  have so much customer suport and I am sure there are many
suggestions directly from the final user). Next we will show the board to
developers and they will decide.

What do you think?

[Michael Beckwith]

As far as I'm concerned, Ambassadors can make suggestions for screencast 
tutorials. All ideas are welcome and if we brainstorm enough, we can 
eventually cover all aspects of Fedora that new users may want to learn 
about.

Thanks for your response. Is a excelent way to do Fedora better.
As you know ambassadors usually are the connection point between the final
user and Fedora community in general.
In my case, many people tell me some suggestions about  they would like to
have in Fedora. Always is good listen the user.

Could you explain me how it works?
I supose I just edit and write the idea with a short description, there are
no more requeriments?

Regards.

Pretty much that's it, edit the wiki page and type out what the 
screencast should cover. Explain with details or an example problem that 
the screen cast would solve, if necessary.

Awesome.  Thanks for posting that page up there.  The list is already
looking good.  I'll be sure to add some more ideas.

[rafaelliu]

I don't actually know how to make a screencast, but I volunteer for making
Live USB screencast. I think it's a really attractive tool for beginners and
a great chance to aggregate more users to Fedora.

One complication I can think of is that I would have to reboot my machine to
boot the USB... Maybe a screencast made by a virtual machine? Any
suggestions?

I am not sure what is the target of the proposed screencast: creating a 
Live USB? booting it? working with it?

For creation, you can record the terminal window where the image is 
transferred to Live USB, for booting it, yes, you will need a VM and for 
working with the stick (live persistence), you can install Istanbul on 
the stick.

Thanks for your response. I had the same question.
The list is looking good and growing. I did my first suggestion and also I
am interested to do the screencast. (I will learn how to).

Do you like redundancy? Here is a little screencast about creating 
screencasts: http://howto.nicubunu.ro/video/howto-istanbul.ogg

Well, some other point to contribute ;) I'll read about it and try to update
information there.

Actually my idea was to do all the way to go all the way until a fully
functional Live USB Fedora. The screencast should stop once the Live USB is
created, but I would like to show how would it be booting and using it (just
to show persistence). Thinking about it now it may get too long...

Okay to take this to the next step, here's is what I need someone to
do. I need someone or a group of someone's to watch this page for new
videos and then turn the information into this page into an rss feed
that we can view in miro.  You'd have to manually add new screencasts
to the miro feed for the time being.  For the time being lets stick to
an english feed.  As we collect more videos we can think about redoing
the audio in different languages and setting up additional language
specific feeds using the alternative audio tracks.

We should probably consider changing the format of that table to
include several useful tags that miro knows how to parse. if we are
really clever we will construct a wikipage that we can parse with a
tool and generate the miro feed once we settle on a format for the
information.  Yes, I realize that we shouldn't do this manually in the
long term, but for the time being so we can experiment with the entire
process including miro as our preferred viewer of this sort of
community generated content.

Anyone want to volunteer to generate the associated rss feed meant to
be used in miro?  Starting with Clint's video as the first rss entry.

Following the format that Jon Roberts gave us in another post would
want to be able to construct rss entries from the collected wiki
information that look like this:

Yep, it's been done and the channel is in Miro :) Fedora TV.

What does need doing however, is an e-mail web form so that people can
submit an idea to a video for review before it gets added to the feed.
If you're interested in helping, maybe you'd like to do this?! Would
be awesome if you could!

Best,

Jon

I can try to do this, just tell me what info do you want me to get from the
users, and I'll try to do something here

Basically we want:

Name:
E-Mail:
Video URL:
Video Title:
Video Description:

And then have that e-mailed to an editor or a mailing list (i.e. just
needs an e-mail address we can fill in for it to be sent to). What
would be cool if the form would automatically update the RSS feed once
somebody clicks approve, but this could also be done manually quite
easily.

Let me know, otherwise I'll investigate this properly myself when I
get a minute,

Thanks,

Jon

[Lucas - Linux Sys. Admin (CEFETCE/UAB)]

got my people doing this, by the end of the afternoon, from here to 3 or 4
hours, U'll have your script right away! :)

You need an explicit statement as to the license.  For the time being
we should require something like CC-BY-SA    on all submission until
there is a decision otherwise.

When people are submitting items to the feed, we need the people doing
the submission to affirm that the video is copyright licensed under
terms that we as a project are okay with.  The license that is
currently most appropriate is the Create Commons CC-BY-SA  license:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

We can't have people submitting content that is more restrict than
that. We could allow less restrictive licensing but that will
complicate the submission. Initially we should just require submitters
that the video is licensed under the terms of CC-BY-SA for any work.
And then there should be a discussion concerning whether or not we
want to allow more licensing options than that.

[Lucas - Linux Sys. Admin (CEFETCE/UAB)]

Ok, but that is the point since the beginning of the project, I think.. :D

I don't anyone is arguing over the point.  What I trying to suggest is
that being explicit concerning the licensing in the web submission
form matters. It should not be implied in the submission form. People
submitting videos should actively affirm the licensing so that we have
a record that we were told what the copyright license on the material
is.

We cannot have this project taking in video into a project branded
miror channel assuming the licensing is okay. The submitter must tell
us explicitly what the licensing is... just like we expect people
contributing code into our repository must do as part of the package
submission review.

John did not include a field for licensing in the list of things the
webform needs.  I am suggesting that the lack of a licensing field in
the webform is an oversight that needs to be corrected.
