<AndreasR> +1
<fugolini> and I don't want to take your time for only me and andreas
<spevack> one question
<spevack> for you francesco
<spevack> should i send email to all the release party owners asking for
their paypal information?
<fugolini> spevack: i think for Q3 Release Events yes
<spevack> ok
<fugolini> but as treasurer you better than me know if it's the right time
<spevack> i'll take care of it
<spevack> thanks!
<spevack> EOF
<fugolini> spevack: you job it's really great
<fugolini> we can't live without you, i'm sure of it :)
<AndreasR> :)
<spevack> well, we'll all have fun at FAD EMEA
<spevack> i am really looking forward to it.
<fugolini> absolutely
<fugolini> 2. FAmSCo elections
<fugolini> First of all my thanks to spevack for his meaningfull email
<AndreasR> +1
<spevack> your follow up was very nice also francesco
<AndreasR> +1
<fugolini> I think as FAmSCo, and i'll send an email to FAmSCo list
soon, we have to work
<fugolini> with people to make nomination process a great one
<AndreasR> !
<fugolini> trough Blog Posts, talking with ambassadors around us (see
FAD EMEA )
<fugolini> AndreasR:
<AndreasR> should we go ahead sensible for the us-part... one week :)
<AndreasR> eof
<fugolini> moving one hour after the meeting?
<fugolini> ah
<AndreasR> !
<fugolini> AndreasR:
<fugolini> ok
<fugolini> Last but not least 3. Local status
<AndreasR> no what I try to say is maybe we should wait a little..
because of the +++word is missing - the election
<fugolini> I asked LATAM to give us some updates on activities
<AndreasR> eof
<fugolini> AndreasR: we have 3/4 weeks, but yes, that's right
<AndreasR> !
<fugolini> BTW, during the next week i'll try to contact APAC for more infos
<fugolini> AndreasR:
<AndreasR> max that's more in your direction ... I don't know the
us-part.. is this such a topic
<AndreasR> eof
<spevack> what's the problem?
<spevack> er, what's the question?
<AndreasR> I don't know but some of my friends over there are a little
burned due to the us president election
<AndreasR> eof
<spevack> are you talking about US folks not being here today?
<spevack> I think after the FAMSCo election, it will give us a chance to
make sure everyone comes every week
<spevack> since we'll have new people
<fugolini> At the end: I just sent an email to ask for infos about
LATAM, late this week or maybe the next one I'll contact APAC members to
get information
<fugolini> for EMEA and NA we are well updated by the meeting summaries
and logs they send every meeting
<fugolini> I hope to be able to make a summary of all the past year,
collecting the goal we achived, the problem we solved, the problem we
are facing and so on
<fugolini> and I think it's important to underline the Local groups
initiative
<fugolini> I hope everyone in FAmSCo could work with me over it
<spevack> yes, happy to hel[p
<fugolini> Just it all
<spevack> i think it's a wonderful idea
<fugolini> during navigation who was in watch in the bridge has to give
the next watching officer all the instrunctions and informations
<fugolini> that could help him steering the ship. I just took the idea
from this clear example
<fugolini> I think, as I told you, there are still many missing points
that require attention
<fugolini> and I'm sure there will be in the next FAmSCo agenda.
<AndreasR> ?
<fugolini> AndreasR:
<spevack> fugolini: i like the ship metaphor
<AndreasR> I don't know if I understand you right.. is the question..
what can we do to give this to the next steering members
<AndreasR> eof
<fugolini> AndreasR: I just proposed to create a year FAmSCo report
<AndreasR> ahh, okay - thx
<fugolini> with all information that could help the next FAmSCo.
<fugolini> From my side that's all.
<spevack> fugolini: as always, thank you for your work.
<fugolini> We talked about RE, Elections and Localization
<fugolini> We were only 3 members, but quality ones :P
<AndreasR> :)
<fugolini> if there isn't anything we can adjourn the meeting
<AndreasR> that's okay for me
<spevack> sounds good

Latinoware
by Jayme Ayres
Hi folks!
Here are some photos[1] I took during the V Latinoware[2] - Free Software
Latin-American Conference in Foz do Iguazu (Fos of Iguassu) conducted at the
Itaipu Technological Park [4](PTI) aBrazilian government that encourages
more use of FOSS in Brazil. IItaipu [3] is the largest hydroelectric power
plant in the world sharing its production of energy with Paraguay and is a
bi-national body This is the second largest event in Brazil after the
FISL[5]. The event was a success and the Fedora Project had a strong focus
with a lot of lectures and mini-courses toward advanced users and beginners
in Linux.
I would like to thank the ambassadors of Argentina and Colombia to attend
and share lessons.
I put some photos on the Flickr group Fedora Linux.
Enjoy.

Installing Fedora to 20 desktops at Greek University
by Christos Bacharakis
Great news gyus for Fedora and open & free source community!
Today we (serlug) took the green light for installing Fedora to twenty
desktops at our local University. The machines are located to our "computer
centre" which is used from various students from various departments (not
only computer science) who want an internet connection, to do a project,
anything. We are also talking with a professor for installing fedora to two
more labs at his department.
I am excited!

FAmSCo Nominations Period Announcement
by Francesco Ugolini
Hi,
After Max, FAmSCo treasurer, announcement it's my pleasure to declare
the FAmSCo Elections Nomination Period open.
I think Max in his mail expressed better than anyone the spirit of
this important step towards the FAmSCo election. I saw in the past
year a lot of people working so hard to help the community and to
spend their time organizing events around the world and contributing
in the ambassadors community organization.
Now it's time for everyone to think about the possibility to run for
FAmSCo: I know it's not a simple job, but with the passion and with
the right motivation everyone could be able to accomplish this duty.
We are more than 550 ambassadors (and we are still counting), we come
from all over the world and we represent the 5 Continents, with their
differences, their values but, all together, with the same goal:
spread Fedora and the Open Source everywhere.
I hope to see all those Continents represented in the next FAmSCo but,
firstly, I want to see all the people, who worked so hard during this
year, writing their name in the nomination page
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Election/2008...)
and challenging for this important role.
Best regards
Francesco Ugolini

ke4qqq - David Nalley
DemonJester - Brian Powell
slasherzee - Doug Berry
herlo - Clint Savage
vwbusguy - Scott Phillips
crossbytes - Kevin Higgins
along with a cameo appearance from mdomsch (Matt Domsch)
*Status of a hackfest at the Linux Symposium was discussed.
*mdomsch called our attention to the upcoming elections and there was
a general call for NA Ambassadors to nominate themselves.
*Budget -
** We talked about the looming deadline for next quarters budget and
how items needed to be placed on /Events ASAP
** We talked about NA's current budget and where the remainder of that
was being allocated. (an initial media run for F10)
* vwbusguy asked if anyone was hanging out in #fedora which also led
us to talking about triaging. A call was made for us to hang out in
ff.o #fedora and triage bugs especially with the run up to release and
the loads of activity shortly thereafter.
*Media
** Discussed how an initial run of x86 Live media should be available
very shortly after F10 GA with other runs to hopefully follow
thereafter.
** Discussed means (ie ordering media from Karlie Robinson) of
handling PPC, Source, Spins, etc.
*Division of Eastern NA region into Northeast and Southeast - With the
bulk of NA Ambassadors being on or near the East coast - we've
previously discussed dividing the region into two regions - and last
night we made that official. Brian Powell (DemonJester) stepped up to
become the NE Regional Ambassador and to take care of reorganizing the
the Regions page.
* Discussion of the IRC classes that are coming up shortly.
Minutes will follow in a bit.
