Drupalistas: Call for participation on Fedora Insight
by Pascal Calarco 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi Fedora Ambassadors -- Do you have intermediate to advanced Drupal 6 skills, and some time to apply these to benefit the Fedora community? Would you be interested in leveraging these to help spread the word about Fedora? If so, then we have a great opportunity for you! Fedora Insight[1] is a content portal for aggregated news, views, and events about the Fedora Project that a multi-faceted team has been working on over the last while. The vision is to build a rich, dynamic one-stop place to get the latest news on Fedora. The first content we're incorporating is Fedora Weekly News[2], and we're in the midst of themeing the site as well as creating new Views for FWN issues. Come join us! We meet Thursdays on irc.freenode.net If you are interested, please join the Fedora logistics list[3], and introduce yourself to the team! We've also started a new Fedora Project Drupal group[4] for more recruitment, so join us there too, once it has been approved by the moderators there! Thanks so much! - pascal [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN [3] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/logistics [4] http://groups.drupal.org/fedora-project-linux-distribution --- Pascal Calarco, Fedora Ambassador & FWN Editor http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pcalarco

1 Desktop spins DVD vs. 4 Desktop spins CDs ?
by Sascha Thomas Spreitzer 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hello friends, I just wanted to know about your opinion, if we should consider replacing the current 4 CDs of Desktop spins media production with the 1 DVD which contains all 4 spins? Maybe even with F14 ? ( eg. would save money, because of mass production leverage. ) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with kind regards, Sascha Thomas Spreitzer http://spreitzer.name/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sspreitzer Warum mache ich überhaupt dieses ganze OpenSource Zeugs?

Request for comments : Fedora media distribution process draft
by Ankur Sinha 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hello Ambassadors! All of us like spreading Fedora to people around us. A major part of this is accomplished by speaking about Fedora (spreading the word) and providing interested users with Fedora media so they can try it out. The Fedora Distribution process[1] was initially set up as the central point of contact that was to handle and coordinate the different channels that are available to spread Fedora media around. Over the years, sadly, the coordination has been lost, and now we see the channels as independent bits. As a small example: You'll find tickets in the free media list from folks who have Ambassadors in their vicinities themselves. If the channels were coordinated, we could ask these people to contact the Ambassadors nearby and get themselves media burnt : saving time, effort *and* enabling the free media to be used for other people who don't have Ambassadors around them. Some of us have recently been working on tweaking the process. We've come up with a draft here[1] that we'd like you to please review and comment on. We also need more hands on board to help us bring this change about :) Can you please go through the page and provide your valuable feedback? [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution [2]https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha/Fedora_Media_Distribution_… -- Thanks!

what prospective ambassadors can do apart from holding linux events
by Ankur Sinha 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hello, I just re-read nirik's post on community suppport[1]. I happened to read the fedora new ambassador's mentor process page right after it[2]. Would it be a good idea to ask prospective ambassadors to help with community support on #fedora and the user list? Why? - they'd learn a lot from the irc channel and the list, about fedora, about issues, common bugs, fixes, packages, etc. - they'd know where to direct new users for troubleshooting. - they'd be in a better position to solve problems at the events they hold. - they'd learn how to interact with people, both senior fedora contributors who hang out on the irc, and new users, (and trolls, and etc. etc.) - more community support to users. Thanks, regards, Ankur "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha [1]http://scrye.com/wordpress-mu/nirik/2010/11/27/communities-and-support-ch… [2]http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_Ambassador_Mentor_Program#Discussion

Active Ambassadors Over Inactive Am.
by Buddhike Kurera 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Dear All, According to the http://susmit.fedorapeople.org/report/famsco_final_report/#id2781437 <http://susmit.fedorapeople.org/report/famsco_final_report/#id2781437>There are around 700 Am. worldwide and around 183 events in 2010. I think each ambassador should have a responsibility of having at-least one event for an year that ensure spreading fedora in the community. And as in 2009 it is good to evaluate Am. (based on region) on yearly basis and ensure all the Am. work well. Having a large list mean nothing we need people who work to achieve goals. I noticed some Am. dont event updated their user-page with their contacts, and some dnt have contact details. So i think this need to ensure the quality of the Am. What you all think? BTW wish all the elected Am. good luck on their future work :). -- Regards, *Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera* The Editor in Chief - FOSS User Magazine Fedora Ambassador - Sri Lanka

Fedora Tunisia at SIB expo. in Tunis (Tunisia)
by Ilyes Gouta 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

Hi, This year's local expo SIB [1] and [2] has just wrapped up down here in Tunis and we're glad to announce that we, Tunisian Fedora Ambassadors, were there at the event where we had a dedicated booth (albeit for a limited time) to present Fedora, the project and the distribution. The expo itself is an opportunity for the local companies, businesses and telecoms to expose their latest computer software/hardware offering and services. For this year's exhibition, the local emerging open source community (mostly university clubs, few businesses) negotiated with the organizers a dedicated booth that would be allocated for every group according to a time table [3]. Fedora presence has been scheduled for the 25th of November and for the occasion we decided to produce some Fedora 14 DVDs to distribute them among the attendees. Nihed brilliantly took care of the task and these were actually ready only on the last day of the expo (Saturday the 27th) just on time for the last and biggest meeting for the local open source attendees at SIB. We're going to distribute the remaining stock of the produced DVDs in the forthcoming days, during meet ups at universities and Engineering schools. The booth was managed by me, Nihed and Zied during our time slot. We had mostly students from the Engineering schools asking a lot of questions about open source, Linux, Fedora, the 4 Fs, the difference vs. the other distributions. We used [4] as a basis for our presentation and [5] as a custom poster for the event. Eventually, Nihed managed to get interviewed by the local radios [6, 7] which are thriving for interesting and exciting content, where he mainly spoke about open source as a viable alternative for user. It was an amazing opportunity to meet people, talk about a common passion, think about how we could improve things and do better. One of the coolest highlights was Tech. and Engineering school staffers and students asking us to organize practical days and workshops on site, that's in their own schools, to talk about Fedora, Linux and open source in general. We already asked to provide us the major themes/concepts they’re interested in and started brainstorming and drafting a program/course. Indeed, this would bring a lot to the student as far as awareness, competence, visibility and communication are concerned. -Ilyes Gouta 1. http://www.sogefoires.com/index.php/salon-sib.html 2. http://www.tekiano.com/tek/tek-news/3-4-2919/tunisie-le-sib-it-2010-comme-s… 3. http://www.tekiano.com/tek/soft/3-10-2910/tunisie-le-logiciel-libre-a-l-hon… 4. http://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/a/af/FOSSMeet09.odp 5. http://ilyes.fedorapeople.org/Fedora%20Poster%20Final_2000x1000.png 6. http://www.mosaiquefm.net/index/a/Actif/Cat/57 7. http://www.radioexpressfm.com
