Introduce myself
by Sebastian Vahl
Hi.
I'm Sebastian Vahl from Hannover, Germany. I'm 26 years old and studying
Politics, History and Sociology at local university. Inside the Fedora
Project I'm in KDE-SIG and responsible for the kde livecd spin. And I've also
a few packages in Fedora Extras. [1]
Outside the project I'm a moderator in a german webforum (fedoraforum.de),
responsible for a german wiki (fedorawiki.de) and a german newsside for
fedora (fedorausers.de).
The last point is exactly, why I'm joining as an ambassador. In the last days
I've had extensive conversation with Gerold Kassube about integrating local
forums more into the community (here esp. fedoraforum.de). That's maybe also
a point that was discussed in a ambassadors meeting last year [2]. But I'll
explain that point respectively start this discussion later this week.
Besides this my time is quite limited and so I don't know what to do else
(concerning the open discussion about active/inactive ambassadors ;) ). But
maybe, when I'm getting more familiar, activity will grow. :)
And also: I've been planing to come to LinuxTag. So maybe I could help there
in some points.
In this mail I just want to say: Hi all!
Sebastian

Installing FC7-3 and options
by Bart De Soete
Hi everybody,
Have some questions about FC7-3.
My workstations run on FC6, while I was forced to run OpenSuse 10.2 on
my laptop 'cause of the problems with my network card and wireless
controller.
Now Realtek (my network card vendor) has already a working
Linux-driver on their website. For my wireless controller (Intel 3945
Pro) their is a package for FC7 at ATRPM.
So I'm planning to upgrade both workstations and my laptop to FC7-3.
What are my options when FC7-Final is arriving? Can I upgrade my
machines from FC7-3 to FC7-Final without reinstalling? If so, how?
Regards,

Eventbox
by Robert M. Albrecht
Hi,
yesterday I was attending the Tux Kinderfest
(http://www.gruene-neustadt.de/index.php/Tux_Kinderfest_2007) .
The ideas was to introduce pupils and teachers to the OpenSource
conecpts. We also showcased some apps like GCompris and Tuxpaint.
We had a bunch of Fedora and Ubuntu desktops and laptops for hands on
experience.
The Ubuntu-People had an Eventbox. A rather large box containg 300
Ubuntu shipit-CDs, some Edubuntu CDs, an outboor-transparent, some
stickers, some flyers, ...
Really cool.

Regarding Linux Talks and Fedora Education
by Abhishek Singh
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Dear All,
I would like to inform you all that I'm coordinating
a programme called "Linux Talks" at our university. The programme is
organized by Kathmandu University Open Source Community (KUOSC, see
http://www.ku.edu.np/~kuosc) in joint collaboration with Kathmandu
University Alumni Asscoiation (KUAA, see http://www.ku.edu.np/kuaa).
The programme will cover the basics of Linux to some of the advanced
level topics like server configuration, localisation and others.
Although the programme is neutral to the distribution of Linux (as
we'll be using two or three distros), we are focussing heavily upon
the Fedora Core 6. The brief programme details are as below:
Title of the Programme : Linux Talks
Mission Statement: Choice for All
Duration: 3 Months
Total number of Sessions : 8-10 (at least one session per week)
Total number of participants : 40-50
Topics to be covered:
* An overview of FOSS and GNU/Linux
* Open Office.Org : Use and Automation
* Localisation and Nepali Applications
* LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) Framework
* Configuring Secure Servers in Linux (DHCP, DNS, BIND, SAMBA,
NIS, NFS etc)
* Security Concerns in Linux (Firewall Configuration)
* Linux Desktop for productivity
* Media Authoring using FOSS Tools
* Content Management System (using Drupal)
* OSI Approved Software Licenses
This is just a rough sketch of the contents to be covered, and has not
yet been finalised. I expect your help in restructuring and finalising
the contents. Moreover, (as the programme moves heavily around FC6), I
would like to request for your support and help regarding the
presentations, documentations and other training materials. Meanwhile
I wonder if I can continue this programme in conjugation with the
Fedora Education. Could Fedora Community send us some promotional
materials like banners, flyers etc.?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Abhishek Singh

Self-Introduction
by 吴愚
Hi everyone!
Sorry for my late self-introduction. I've got to deal with my
dissertation last few days.
Thanks very much for announcing me as an official Fedora Ambassador!
I'm an undergraduate student of Tongji University, Shanghai, China,
majored in Computer Science. Now I am recommended to have graduate
course next term.
I've been crazy about Fedora since last year. I attended the National Intel
Embedded Competition at that time. All of my work was done under the Fedora
Core 4 development environment. At that time, I was attracted by the power of
Fedora and open source software. So I worked as hard as I could and as
a result, I got the third-prize. But what's more important, I really
enjoyed myself with Fedora and software packages related to it.
Although I like Fedora the most, few people use Fedora or other
Linux distributions. I want to share my happiness to as many people as
I can, so I decided to get involved with FedoraProject and I'm already
a member of L10n.
Now, as an official Fedora Ambassador, I have a few plans.
1. As a Fedora/Linux rookie, I'll try my best to learn as much as I
can in half a year.
2. Convince students around me to install and experience
Fedora. (More than 5 people have already been persuaded to install
FC6)
3. Half a year later, October or November, I'll build up an
association about Fedora/Linux/Open Source Software in my university.
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much!

Hello fellows
Maybe you have allready checked the message from Mike McGrath in the
annouce-list.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-April/msg00004....
It's about the liquidation of the firstname.lastname(a)fedoraproject.org
email addresses. IMO all ambassadors should still have an adress like
this. To communicate with the wikiname(a)fedoraproject.org email address
to organisation teams of events and so on. It looks a bit funny when the
adress is like snoppy14(a)fedoraproject.org.
What do you think?
If I'm not the only one who think we should keep this email forwarder
for ambassadors, we can collect the voices and send them all to the
infrastructure team. Otherwise every individual have to handle this for
its own.
Regards,
Fabian

Sorry ambassadors but there's technical reasons we can't keep
firstname.lastname and we're not going to manually maintain a list for
everyone forever. I'm open to suggestions but unless you guys can come
up with a REALLY good reason you can't just use
username(a)fedoraproject.org they're gone. We can always change your
username to something more respectable but thats the only option I see.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I know this sucks. No one wanted to get
rid of firstname.lastname, but we had to.
