Hi all,
- From time to time we (to be more precise Joerg Simon) order a bunch of
Ambassadors Polo Shirts. We decided to make a new order for EMEA soon.
If you plan to attend FAD EMEA in the middle of November or FOSDEM at
the end of February and want a Poloshirt please add your details to the
Fedora Ambassadors Poloshirt page [1] as soon as possible.
Be aware, the ordering will only happen if there will be a total
quantity of 15 pieces.
Kind regards,
Fabian

Re: XO demo Saturday in Rochester NY
by Karlie Robinson
Brief Follow-up.
The meet-up went well. There were about a dozen people in attendance.
Linux, Mac and Win users
The XO laptops were front and center and I believe almost everyone had a
chance to use one if they wanted to.
I discussed the XO, it's basic functions, the concept of OLPC and
Fedora's involvement with the project.
I even had to show the machine to people in the shop who weren't part of
the meet up group.
There are some pictures posted at

Fedora t shirt)

I visited Southern Wesleyan University on Friday 3 October 2008. The
class I was invited to was a VB class. About 8 people showed up. I
showed off the OLPC XO and that garnered the most attention. I also
talked about why college students should get involved in open source
projects. I unfortunately can't say that it was the most engaged
audience. I distributed media to everyone.

Attandance request for com2linux in Essen (Germany)
by Peter Reuschlein
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi together,
i just got an email from the Organisator of the Come2Linux Event in
Essen (Germany).
He´s asking if Fedora wants to have a booth at that event.
Im not available during that time but perhaps some other ambassadors
could have a look there.
Original Mail:
Hallo Herr Reuschlein,
Veit Wahlich hat mir Ihre Adresse gegeben. Er meint, Sie seien der
richtige Ansprechpartner für mich bzw. für die Linuxtage in Essen.
Wie er Ihnen möglicherweise mitgeteilt hat, finden die 4. come2linux-
Linuxtage in Essen am 15./16.11.2008 in der Uni in Essen statt. Unser
Ziel ist es, dieses Event ohne Standgebühren und ohne Eintritt
durchzuführen. Wir wollen dabei ein möglichst breites Spektrum freier
Software präsentieren und in Vorträgen auf neue/interessante
Möglichkeiten und Gefahren in diesem Bereich hinweisen.
Soweit zu uns.
Sollten Sie die Möglichkeit haben das Projekt Fedora entweder an einem
Tisch zu präsentieren und möglicherweise einen Vortrag über neue
Funktionen zu halten, würde uns dies sehr freuen. Für eine
kurzfristige Rücksprache stehe ich auch telefonisch zur Verfügung.
(0234 476175)
Ansonsten ist der Stand der Vorbereitungen (mit zeitlicher
Verzögerung) auf www.come2linux.org zu entnehmen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Gerd Hofmann-Credner

FAMNA Meetings - Follow Guidelines
by Clint Savage
I'll admit this right out of the gate. I'm causing more havoc than I
should in meetings because I'm not following the meeting guidelines at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRCHowTo#Protocol.
I want to point this out because I want to do better. Some of the
ambassadors do a great job of following the guidelines and I want to
encourage us all to use these guidelines in next week's meeting.
I hope this doesn't sound like I'm trying to enforce rules, for one, I
have no authority to do so. These guidelines work well for other
meetings in which I've participated and I think our meetings will be
more focused if we follow them.
As such, I plan to start using them immediately for any meeting I am a
part. I hope others will follow my lead. Again, I apologize for not
doing a better job up front.
Cheers
Clint

fact gathering from other groups
by Karsten Wade
Lengthy discussion regarding recruiting new contributors for
Fedora. Out of this discussion a suggestion was made to invite
members of the various projects within Fedora to briefly discuss
their project as well as what there current needs are in the
realm of new contributors to the Fedora Ambassadors so we can
better understand what they do and how to help them. Next week a
member of the Art Team will be invited.
Clint and I were discussing this the other day in light of the quality
of the wiki/Join page. Historically, Mo and I were envisioning that
work as a step in the process to a "Join tool", a kind of wizard to take
people through joining the project as a participant.
In meeting with these groups, if we do two things with that (overview of
what their project does/how they do it; and how to join), we have
something that we can teach to Ambassadors so they can talk about the
various projects (becomes part of our own Joining/learning process). It
also gives us a nice record of the join process for _everyone_.
If we can find some programming resources to start on a join wizard,
knowing what each group needs to join is a great fact gathering for
that, without over-committing Ambassadors to "own the new Join tool".
- Karsten
