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.

- kk4ewt: needs the address to ship the event box and vbanners to.

I have the info, it's in the form of "you also have to attach this label to the box you send" so I will get that uploaded.
- 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.
If you have time .... this weekend (more like tomorrow) or on Monday, maybe we could do a quick get-together on irc to talk about the postcard?
- Robyn is thinking about a fedora dinner, but it is hard to find a
time slot during Summit insanity.
And I continue to think this. Wednesday night is the only night this is really an option, and even then there are other things going on.
- 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)
Sent!

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?)
Cluster. To be more specific in this case, load balancing, but it's folks from the cluster team.

Yes.

Sure, I can irc Saturday after noon(EST) or Monday before 2(EST). Pick the time best for you in those blocks and I'll make sure I'm online.

Got it and done. Thank you!

Lol, I emailed mgoldman and I'll let him decided on the AS7/Arquillian balance (he knows how to deal with us crazy testing people and when to let us riot)

You had mentioned that you were looking for a room?
Ah, that's what Kristen is in charge of. Yes, it would be nice to have a room, and it could be a small room, and it doesn't have to be for the whole conference. And don't give away brownie points if this is a nightmare to work out. I know the Summit is a different beast of a conference. This plan can be (and will be) put in to action at other conferences.

And now I have the lyrics "Whip it! Whip it real good!" stuck in my head :D

To perk up internal interest/spread cost and appeal, if you think it would be advantageous I am also willing to film any community /open source focused videos. This means we could extend the invitation to JBoss projects' contributors. For example, JDF is a new community focused/open source learning venture on the JBoss side (and I am on good terms with some of the developers leading up that initiative, plus they'll be at the Summit). DeltaSpike developers will be at the Summit, that's a joint open source project between JBoss and Apache (and a great example of a community that almost died but then got revived and is developing new stuff). But if the videos get sucked into a product sales package I'll morph into evil Sarah. Anyway, just a thought.

Tomorrow between after noon EST would be best for me. But before... 2 or 3pm EST. I will be on the ferry-children-to-birthday-parties boat after that. :D If that works, i'll look for you then!

I've got the SXSW leftover creative pamphlets Emily designed and can bring a bunch.
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.
I would be really happy to do a session of whatever length would be useful for you on using Inkscape, Gimp, or any creative FLOSS tools. As a bonus, these are sure to not overlap with any Summit topics :) One that I've gotten requests for before from Summit-goers is using Inkscape for diagrams (eg network or architecture diagrams.)
