low educated people, or those who have problem with English can use
Open Source Operating System, but i want to know the process, that how
can i change English language Fedora Distro to URDU, while i have seen
Punjabi version, i was really impressed by that guys work(one of the

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Call for Projects
by Gerold
Hi all!
the "Call for Projects" phase for the German Linuxtag 2006 in Wiesbaden
has startet on Jan. 11th, 2006 and ends at Feb. 3rd, 2006 ...
Have a look there: http://www.linuxtag.org/2006/de/home/cfpro.html
Are we present there? I thought there will be the next FUDCon? Who's
willing to lead the project "Linuxtag 2006" and the "FUDCon"? Is it the
SC of the Ambassadors? Who is it???
Question over question and times goes rapidly ...
Maybe this is also a point for the next Ambassadors meeting?!
Regards

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Fedora Initiatives @ LinuxWorld, and beyond
by Jack Aboutboul
Hey Guys,
I am proud to announce that we have successfully agreed with IDG on
terms to run an install pavilion at the upcoming LinuxWorld in Boston.
Attached is the marketing material they are sending out to promote the
show as well as the floor plan for the show floor. We will be in booths
636 and the adjacent booth should we need the space. Note that we are
co-sponsoring the event with our good friends Pogo Linux.
This is a great accomplishment and should help draw alot of attention
and traffic to akk of our good work and efforts.
On the same note, we have also been invited back by Boston University,
the gracious host of the first ever FUDCon, to hold yet another FUDCon.
I personally went by and inspected the facilities yesterday and we are
indeed in for a treat. Once we are done figuring out the logistics and
are ready to finally announce, I will make sure to let everyone know.
Look for a call for papers soon.
Thanks for all the great work guys and for helping get the word out on
the streets.

Mateusz,

requests to the list, so the group can discuss it.
Thank you,

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] The Grumpy Editor's Obviously Incorrect 2006 Predictions -- Jonathan Corbet/lwn.net
by Thorsten Leemhuis
Just FYI:
http://lwn.net/Articles/165351/
[...]
The Fedora project will have to make changes to preserve developer and
user interest in 2006. Fedora is still hard to contribute to, its
decision process is relatively opaque, the promised Fedora Foundation is
missing, the short support period keeps users on an upgrade treadmill,
Fedora Legacy is not staffed at a level where it can be relied upon,
and, crucially, other free, leading-edge distributions (OpenSUSE,
Ubuntu) are increasingly competing for the same users. Fedora remains a
top-quality distribution, but it risks losing some of the user and
developer energy which makes it an important distribution.
[...]
We IMHO should discuss about this and maybe someone (e.g. not me; not
enough time) should talk to Corbet about this. Not that is wrong in
general, but I would be interested in details especially behind these
paragraph to make things better in the future:
* Fedora is still hard to contribute to,
For Fedora Core this seems true. Could we people at least give the
feeling somehow that it's possible to contribute to Fedora Core?
* its decision process is relatively opaque,
For Fedora Core I agree; For the other Fedora Projects: Is it really?
What do we need to make better?
* the promised Fedora Foundation is missing,
From the outside it seems so. But that hopefully gets better (soon?)
* the short support period keeps users on an upgrade treadmill,
Agreed. One is practically forced to update to each release because
updates stop for Core n-1 when the Test2 release of n+1 is released. I
think I know the reasons behind this decision, but it IMHO would look *a
lot better* if we would support n-1 until n+1 is released +4 weeks
* Fedora Legacy is not staffed at a level where it can be relied upon,
I have the same feeling as a outsider (never used it)
* and, crucially, other free, leading-edge distributions (OpenSUSE,
Ubuntu) are increasingly competing for the same users.
Agreed
Just my 2 cent.
/me wonders if we should use fedora-devel for this discussion, but
sticks to fedora-ambassadors-list(a)redhat.com for now

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Fedoraproject Meeting Importance?
by Nayyar Ahmad
Hello All:
I have just joined Fedora Project as Ambassador, I have seen quite
importance of being an active member in Ambassador List, but I want to
get the idea, whether this is mandatory to be in the meeting, to get
the award of ACTIVE MEMBER, even if we can get meeting minutes and we
have access to mailing-list, in my case I am a very besy person, but i
am a true lover of Fedora, i d'nt have time to be in meeting but i can
read those meeting minutes in my best free time and get the
information i.e. what happened in meeting.
I am facing a lot of problems in conducting my first ever Fedora
Workshop in my region, as i d'nt have access to supporting
stuff(DVD's. etc.) due a single reason i.e. i am new and not an active
member, in my opinion this is not wiser that we restrict a person to
give his best time to a cause which is non-commercial activity. I
think if a person come and say, okay i will work to promote Fedora its
mean he/she is a serious person.
I seriously object this rule that a person should show some active
performance to be in the Ambassador list and to get fedora supporting
stuff. In my opinion any body who need fedora support material and
other things must first submit a proposal to an authority and if that
authority find that the proposal is good and in favor of fedoraproject
then should grant him/her with the required things he/she need.
Thank you.
