The fedora project and local forums
by Sebastian Vahl 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi. I've described in my "hello"-mail that I want to start a discussion about the status of local forums inside/outside the project and also the contact with them. There are many international community websites out there [1]. But ATM their only relationship to the project is that they use fedora. That's a point you have also noticed in a FAD last year [2]. So I would like to talk about how to integrate them more into the project, talk to them and so on. In my opinion forums and esp. local forums are the users first touch with fedora (besides the installation itself). Of course only for those that like forums - if they like IRC or mailinglists more they can use the _official_ irc channels and mailinglists (and also in their language). But the forums are normally called "community websites" - for different reasons. But if we (as fedora project not as a lonely ambassador) can get in contact with them and they get more involved in the project (as a forum, not as a normal person) this could be a benefit for all of us. The first question here is if you have already discussed this in the past? If not it would be a good start to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. I have some ideas for this but first I'd like to hear your opinion. :) Sebastian P.S.: If you hink that this question is absolutely wrong on this list, please say "stop". :) [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommunityWebsites and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/International [2] http://tux.u-strasbg.fr/~chit/FAD/FAD.odp

Fedora Email Alias Request
by Thomas Chung 01 May '07

01 May '07

All, As you know "firstname.lastname(a)fedoraproject.org" email alias is no longer used as of last week[1] per Fedora Infrastructure Team. Only "accountname(a)fedoraproject.org" email alias[2] should be used from now on. I understand some of us are still using "firstname.lastname" for your important contacts and *really* need to continue using this convention. Thank to Mike McGrath, Fedora Ambassadors Team received a special permission to make rare exceptions to *only* existing and active Ambassadors with *good* reason. Here are some rules for such exceptions: 1) The additional alias for the Ambassadors must be firstname.lastname(a)fp.o convention if it's absolutely necessary. 2) Exceptions are made by Thomas Chung for the Ambassadors only. He has the final decision as to whether someone is eligible for the alias . 3) Careful precautions must be made to not cause collisions. (This would include looking out for suspicious aliases like senior.admin(a)fedoraproject.org 4) In addition, you must provide a very good reason why you must have firstnname.lastname email alias. Once again, we encourage you to use "accountname(a)fedoraproject.org" as your default email alias but if you must have "firstname.lastname" alias, please submit your request to me in private with following format. Subject: Email Alias Request - FedoraWikiname Fedora Account Name: Requesting Email Alias: Reason for Email Alias: Regards, [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-April/msg00004.ht… [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EmailAliases -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung

by Eduardo Villagrán Morales 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

I Amabassadors, as Fedora Ambassador for Chile I have participated in organization of Flisol in Santiago de Chile. Flisol is Latin american Free software fest install. This event is a mix of fest install, exhibitions and stands of free software groups. This year, Santiago have up 600 persons as visitor, installers and users( they come with their computers and we install Free Software and Linux on it). On event day I was on Fedora stand, showing Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7 beta 4. I spoke with 60 people, some Fedora users and other new users. I spoke about benefits of use Fedora and repaired some problems of the installers as wireless module support, configuration of some programs and others. This event was on Informatics engineering Department of Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH). Starting at 11:00AM and ending at 08:00PM. The users who chose Fedora for installation went to home with a original Fedora Core 6 DVD. (They was 10 +-). Soon I will send a link to see pictures of this day. -- Eduardo Villagrán Morales [linuxuser:#384391] Embajador Fedora - Chile sip:gotencool@ekiga.net
