Event Page for Red Hat Summit 2016 now on the Fedora Wiki
by Remy DeCausemaker 23 May '16

23 May '16

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Summit_2016 As far as I can tell, this list hasn't seen much traffic in _some_ time, but this is the right place to be posting this type of message, so, welcome back! If you are attending Red Hat summit this year, and especially if you are giving a talk, please be sure to add your details. If you know other Fedora-friends attending Summit, then please point them towards this wiki page as well. I'm bcc'ing some folks directly whom I know will be present, or have included "Fedora" in a talk title or in their profile to get us started. Thanks all for helping organize and represent Fedora at Summit! --RemyD. -- Remy DeCausemaker Fedora Community Lead & Council <decause(a)redhat.com> https://whatcanidoforfedora.org

So, who feels in charge of setting up the Fedora booth and do you need any helping hands? If so, kindly let me know when and where (I think it's not at the same place where last year, right?)... :) Cheers, Sandro

Fedora, Raspberry-Pi and Gluster
by David Yaffe 18 May '13

18 May '13

I'll be at Summit again. This time I'm not only attending, I'm participating as a panelist during the Red Hat Storage Town Hall session. I'll also have my Raspberry-Pi Gluster 3-node cluster in tow, along with my netbook, all with Fedora 18. I also have Cacti setup on the netbook for monitoring the cluster. I also have a stand alone Raspberry-Pi unit that I can bring. I'll be in Boston from Sunday evening to Saturday afternoon. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again. David

Red Hat Summit 2013
by Sandro "red" Mathys 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hi folks, Just a quick heads-up: registration for this year's Red Hat Summit is open. "Early Adopters" can register before March 13 and get even better rates as the "Early Birds". http://www.redhat.com/summit/ @Robyn: I guess Fedora will again have a presence, are you going to organize things again? Do you plan something special or should I just copy and adapt the wiki page from last year to get things started? -- Sandro

Fedora mini-sessions at booth and other tasks
by Sarah White 16 Jun '12

16 Jun '12

Hi, At the FAmNA meeting on Tuesday night we discussed some more details and ideas regarding Fedora's presence at the Summit. Here's a recap: 1. kk4ewt: needs the address to ship the event box and vbanners to. Robyn will send the shipping info to kk4ewt. kk4ewt asks that it be on a ticket. 2. Collateral and other marketing materials need to be wrangled from whatever or whoever births them. DAGNABIT, I knew I was forgetting something, AS7 + Fedora postcard layouts and text will be my next email. Sarah's on the AS7 + Fedora collateral, pinkie swear. 3. Robyn is thinking about a fedora dinner, but it is hard to find a time slot during Summit insanity. 4. We have a seating area and screen with about 15-20 chairs in the fedora area, which is large according to Robyn. We will also have ongoing ARM demo area during the entire Summit. (Note: Robyn said she'd send graphite6 the Fedora booth registration info) 5. Robyn is sorting out when we can do talks and how long some of them will need to be. So far she knows the following people/projects would like a slot: a. Jon Masters b. Cluster folks possibly needing an official slot but perhaps not (Robyn did you mean cluster or Gluster?) 6. Ideas for additional Fedora mini-sessions: a. Getting started with AS7 on F17 (I can definitely find some one to do this, pinging mgoldman now) b. Getting started with Openstack on F17 (Robyn with talk to markmc or russellb) c. Boxgrinder and Fedora (ping mgoldman again) d. The joys of packaging/benefits of packaging Java tools and frameworks. There are a lot of developers in the middleware ecosystem that don't understand packaging or the benefits of having something like AS7 packaged in F17+all the great VM and cloud infrastructure also packaged in F17. (mojavelinux could give a talk on some aspect of this, as well as mgoldman (and I'm sure there are others) e. Virtual machine deployments using F17 f. Anyone else have any ideas for mini-sessions? NOTE: we have to be careful that we don't overlap with summit topics...kittens will die. g. Oh wait, I've got one more! Getting started with Arquillian on F17 because YEA! Arquillian got packaged and go out with the AS7 upgrade! There isn't any overlap with Summit stuff regarding Arquillian because it's not a product and it's not being talked about at the Summit /JUDCon -- but lots of attendees are pinging us wanting to know if the Arquillian developers will be there...could be a way to lure newcomers to the Fedora booth. The Fedora Booth: the only place at the Summit where you can find those Testing Rebels from the fringe! Get your testing development environment ON with Fedora 17! Get Fedora, Launch Arquillian, Save the Galaxy! -- Too much?Sorry, I got seriously derailed there, ignore my fangirlishness. 7. Showing off the Fedora community by getting users and developers to record videos at the Summit about themselves, projects, open source passion, etc. Robyn noted that Spot might be interested in being interviewed. I'll be posting a video demystifying the video 'studio' setup and another of an actual interview on Monday so that people might feel more comfortable getting in front of the camera (they'll know what to expect, will know I'm not going to gimp a beefy miracle sitting in the chair next to them, will know they're not the first victim). 8. Robyn noted she needed to talk to Kristen about something...either having to do with the videos idea or regarding me =D 9. Someone get inode0 a baseball from Fenway, please. And I think that covers the ideas talked about in Tuesday's ambassadors meeting. Cheers, Sarah graphite6 PS. Apologies for the loooong email.

Pre-Summit Drinkup/Meetup and JUDCON
by Sarah White 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hi Summit planners, I've updated the information regarding two pre-summit events. An informal JBoss contributors and users Meetup/Drinkup will happen on Sunday night (06-24 ), from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at The Bell in Hand Tavern. Check out the wikipage for directions, url, etc. The meetup is open to everyone, even if you are not attending the Summit. JUDCon Just an FYI, JUDCon doesn't really share anything in common with the structure of a FUDCon (at least the US JUDCon, the European and Indian JUDCons might be different). The talks at JUDCon are chosen by a committee within JBoss prior to the conference, and the talks aren't the interactive 'let's brainstorm and find a solution to this bug/develop this feature' style. I'd describe JUDCon as simply an extension of the JBoss tracks at the Summit (but remember this is my opinion!). On Monday night there are some fun events (but remember, you have to have registered and paid to attend them) including Community recognition awards, a live JBoss Asylum broadcast, and a Hackerfest. In the past the hackerfest has been 10-15 people, mainly the JBoss engineers from 1 or 2 projects planning out features and fixes for the upcoming year, however the schedule says that this year there will be lightening talks during the same time period, so maybe it will get a shot of life this year! Cheers, Sarah

Interview questions for meet the community videos
by Sarah White 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi, I've started some sets of interview questions [1] that fedora users/contributors/developers could answer in front of the camera ("but I won't know what to say!" is nipped in the bud). If we get a room or space that's not booming with background sound, I'll set up a schedule on the wiki where people could sign up for slots. I also acquired a new toy last week, a high definition camcorder, so I can now take unfettered video of booth activities, attack people on the expo floor, stalk the Beefy Miracle etc. Basically make a complete and utter nuisance of myself (somebody needs to rein me in, I lack boundaries, especially once the espresso hits) [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Meet_the_fedora_community_interview_questions Cheers, Sarah (graphite6)
