2009-03-05 FAMSCO Meeting Summary
by Thomas Canniot
Hello and welcome to this seventh FAMSCO weekly meeting summary.
The latest meeting was hold on March 05th 2009 on #fedora-meeting
Attendees:
Francesco Fugolini
Max Spevack
Joerg Simon
ThomasCanniot
David Nalley
Rodrigo Padula
Regreted attendees:
Susmit Shannigrahi
Francesco starts by announcing the meeting agenda :
1. Ambassadors Policies Coordination
2. Current tasks review
3. Budget
1. Ambassadors Policies Coordination
Francesco reminded everyone the aim of FAmSCo
"We are policy makers, we were elected to organize Ambassadors
Project, and one of the main way is through policies".
The conversation focused on the differences between "regional"
decisions, and "global" decisions.
Everyone agreed that the way we handle these two decisions are
different.
For regional decisions -- what events to attend, how much swag to
purchase, etc. -- the authority is left to the regional leaders.
For global decisions -- policy that impacts all Ambassadors -- the
authority is left to FAmSCo.
We then discussed the specific issue of the Country List page, and the
best way to clean that page up, and maintain it in the future.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/CountryList
While this sort of decision is a "global" one that should be left to
FAmSCo, we were not clear about making that known last week, and that
led to a confusing thread that ended up on Fedora Ambassadors list.
"Please REPLY to this mail (or you will be *removed* from the
Ambassadors Country list.)"
To prevent misunderstandings like this in the future, we decided:
-- FAmSCo has to be more firm about the decisions it makes in his
meetings.
-- FAmSCo is not going to micromanage the Ambassadors regions, and
leaves this to Regional Leaders.
-- The CountryList page is to be made obsolete, then deleted, and
replaced by an automatically created wiki page, based on Fedora
Account System information. This task is to be handled by Joerg Simon.
-- Contact wiki pages, on the responsibility of Regional Leaders, are
to be created for each region with primary contacts information in
them. These will be used as entry points for people who need to
contact Ambassadors. This task is to be handled by Max Spevack.
By this time, we were over an hour, and the rest of the agenda was
cancelled.
Francesco adjourned the meeting.
You can read the attached meeting log for detailed information.

Re: [Ambassadors] Fedora availability initiative
by Gaurav Prabhu
Nice Recommendation, but it has a very low rate of success. I think the individual members can stand up to the task of media distribution. Another thing will be nature of the cyber cafe holders, since most of them do not welcome such suggestions due to the fact they get nothing out of it.

Hi all,
Fedora availability initiative
I am just presenting an idea for making fedora available to everyone.
Currently:
1. Fedora
CD/DVD is downloadable (Peoples having high speed internet access can own it)
2.
Available on very selected shops in very few cities. (Not everyone know these
places)
3. Very
limited information on web about shops selling it. (Many times if found these
shops are not reachable to all. One may find nearest shop in other state.)
4. It
will become tough for Fedora community to distribute free CD/DVD copies when it
comes to a large number.
Proposed solution.
Almost
every City/Town is having cyber cafes (Internet shops).
We can take benefit of these.
I’ll explain how it will work
A Fedora Ambassador have to set up a network of cyber café
owners in his state/town/city/area. Target cyber cafes nearby school, colleges
and other educational intuitions. Thereafter ambassador’s job is to provide CD/DVD images to this
network.
The cafe owner have to display a board, can be a printout telling
“Fedora 10 Available, buy your own
CD/DVD and get it burnt for Rs 20 INR”. This amount should be constant across
all cybercafe cafes in a state/town/city/area
A blank DVD cost Rs 25 to Rs 30 in India + Rs 20 for burning is easily affordable. :)
This will interest the café owners to sell it as they are getting
money for the same.
We will publish a web page which will have list of these
vendors categorized by Country/State/City/Town so that these people can easily
be searched.
Please reply with comments.

Please edit the subject line of a digest message to an appropriate one
to reflect the content of your mail and, trim the parts of the
original mail that are not relevant.
<https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-india/2009-February/msg00139.html>
is a mail that you can go through which should set you on the path of
organizing and, becoming an owner for this event.
At this point, the Technical Festival URL that you have passed does
not seem to contain any details about the sub-event that you mention -
would it be possible for you to create a page on the Fedora wiki that
provides a bit more stuff on the workshop ?

Fedora Portugal
by Pedro Silva
Hi all!
Just to let you know that Rodrigo Padula (Fedora Community Manager -
Latin America) has given me administration acess to the joomla site on
projectofedora.org. This the Portuguese site for the Fedora Project and
has been stalled for some months. I'm reviewing my joomla skills to take
care of the site. I'm thinking of building it in some ways like it's
brazilian brother, projetofedora.org.
I will contact other portuguese ambassadors through mail to regroup and
rework the site.
I would like to thank Rodrigo for his vote of confidence and support.
Regards,
Pedro Silva

Fedora participation in UKUUG's summer Technical Conference?
by Tom Callaway
Niall Mansfield is organizing the UKUUG's summer Technical Conference in
August
(6/7/8-Aug-2009, in Birmingham UK).
He wrote me to ask if we would be interested in participating, specifically:
"There are about 5 or 6 projects who are interested in getting
involved, either running a stream in the conf. or running
as a mini-conf. Someone suggested that Fedora have never had a significant
presence at UKUUG, and that maybe the Fedora folks could tag
a UK or Euro Fedora get-together onto Summer."
Obviously, I'm a bit too far away for this one, but I know we have
ambassadors in the UK and Europe who might be interested in running
something like this.
Niall's email is nmm(a)uit.co.uk. If someone is interested in organizing
this, please feel free to contact him directly.

Fedora availability initiative
by Bhanu Patial
Hi all,
Fedora availability initiative
I am just presenting an idea for making fedora available to
everyone.
Currently:
1. Fedora CD/DVD is downloadable (Peoples having high speed
internet access can own it)
2. Available on very selected shops in very few cities. (Not
everyone know these places)
3. Very limited information on web about shops selling it.
(Many times if found these shops are not reachable to all. One may find
nearest shop in other state.)
4. It will become tough for Fedora community to distribute
free CD/DVD copies when it comes to a large number.
Proposed solution.
Almost every City/Town is having cyber cafes (Internet
shops).
We can take benefit of these.
I’ll explain how it will work
A Fedora Ambassador have to set up a network of cyber café owners in his
state/town/city/area. Target cyber cafes nearby school, colleges and other
educational intuitions. Thereafter ambassador’s job is to provide CD/DVD
images to this network.
The cafe owner have to display a board, can be a printout telling “*Fedora
10 Available, buy your own CD/DVD and get it burnt for Rs 20 INR*”. This
amount should be constant across all cybercafe cafes in a
state/town/city/area
A blank DVD cost Rs 25 to Rs 30 in India + Rs 20 for burning is easily
affordable. :)
This will interest the café owners to sell it as they are getting money for
the same.
We will publish a web page which will have list of these vendors categorized
by Country/State/City/Town so that these people can easily be searched.
Please reply with comments.**
