Fedora Online Magazine
by Anand Capur 16 Jun '07

16 Jun '07

What do you guys think of putting a team together and making a Fedora Online Magazine? I would head it (Be the editor-in-chief), and we would publish it every 2 months (with some other special releases). I really think this would be good for us. We would have no costs besides hosting for the magazine which I think the web team could take care of (I'll ask them also). We could have a set few staff (5-10), and then have open submission where all the members of the community can send in articles, and the staff would pick the best to go in. I'd license the magazine under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License (or something else?) the point is it wouldn't be copyrighted (or it can be... but i'd prefer it to be open). We could arrange to get it printed in the future and take advertisements from people in the community. No stupid ads for some buy this coffee maker today..unless the coffee maker runs fedora;). So yeah, I just wanna get approval, and see how it goes. If you wanna be on the staff and you are a good writer (duh....) just email me (acapur{At]arcnetworks[dot}biz). It could really market fedora, get us more users, and teach our users new things. I really wanna do this, I've got some really good ideas!! P.S. I've BCC'ed this to the Ambassadors list. Thanks, Anand Capur (Fedora Ambassador)

New Ambassador and Regional Law to support FLOSS
by Mario Torre 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hello everyone! I'm writing to the list to introduce myself as well as to talk about an important opportunity for the FLOSS ecosystem in general (and to some degree to Fedora itself). I've asked to join the Fedora Ambassador group in the hope to be helpful, and there is not much else I can say other than that I'm really, really happy to be part of the family. In my daily life I work on Free Software, both as a developer and doing consulting services for small to medium sizes companies in the area where I live (Salerno, Italy), just as I think many of you do too in their daily jobs. On 15 June (this Friday already!), I have to give a presentation of a new Regional Law that pushes the use of FLOSS/Open Standards in the Public Administration. This is the work of years and many finally arriving to an end and I'm very proud of that too. I would like to go to the talk not "only" as a member of the local LUG and part of the organizations behind this Law, but also as an official Fedora Ambassador, if you think it is the case. I'll write down a summary of this meeting and the text of the Law itself (but I'm not a lawyer, so the English translation may not be accurate and will be for your interest only). Any questions welcomed!
