Goodbye FAMSCO!!
by Rodrigo Padula de Oliveira 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hello Guys, Unfortunately I am sending this email to inform that I'm leaving FAMSCO. I am very upset by the 0 support from Red Hat Brasil/Latin America and I'm not happy with the way that decisions are being taken here. My relationship with some FAMSCO members also impossibility my participation here. I had good times at FAMSCO since the fisrt election, but now I'm very disappointed and unmotivated. So, I leave my position and I apologize for any inconvenience created. By now, I will stay here only as Ambassador, helping to spread Fedora in my region without any special role. I will keep working in the Fudcon Latam, providing all support needed to our local ambassadors. Best regards! -- Rodrigo Padula de Oliveira http://www.rodrigopadula.com http://twitter.com/rodrigopadula

Fedora + Active Directory
by Joe "ascenseur" O'Dell 12 May '10

12 May '10

Hi All, A user asked me if it was possible to set up Fedora as a file server and have it integrate with MS Active Directory (and it's a school, so it has to be AD-comptabile, unfortunately!). The file server bit is absolutely fine, I've given him a hand with all of that, it's just the AD integration bit; can anyone advise?

Fwd: Re: REMINDER: EMEA Ambassador Meeting this Wednesday !
by Isaac Sanni-Thomas 12 May '10

12 May '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody, As most of you know I am the event owner for IDELO conference scheduled for the 17th of May 2010. This event being native to my country means a lot to me and my people, so I have been working very had to make it a success. However I now have serious concerns over the handling of the organization and ownership of the event. I have discussed my situation with a few fellow ambassadors and would like to bring it up in the EMEA meeting tonight. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen personal commitments I will be unable to make it tonight so I would like to delegate Sascha to discuss this on my behalf. I hope this matter will be given the attention and merit that it requires, which should help pave the way for better handling of future events in Africa.

SELF-FOSSCON-SUMMIT
by Ben Williams 11 May '10

11 May '10

Plan A: I take box from SELF send to FOSSCON monday morning Mel will bring Box and V-banners to Summit. Plan B: I take Box from SELF and send to Summit same Monday, This plan is secondary because we are not definite that we have someone to work the table (the last I heard). I do think we send Swag for the Summit Direct so it doesnt disappear at FOSSCON. I dont know whose swag pile what needs to come out of.

We have USB keys already being provided which will include a Fedora 13 Live image. I'd like to make sure we have some of the typical goodies to hand out as well. I already have in hand the mailing addresses we need for either an early or a late shipment to the Summit, and can get those addresses to the appopriate people. How should we proceed from here?

FAD NA - Final call for scheduling agenda items.
by Robyn Bergeron 11 May '10

11 May '10

All, I'd like to wrap up the schedule and any leftover details for FAD NA in the next few days. The wiki page for the FAD is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassador_Day_North_America_2010 We already have a fairly solid timeline - but if you have any agenda items you believe should be discussed, please add them here:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassador_Day_North_America_201… Additionally, attendees - if you have any questions about your transportation, who you are driving with, etc. - let's try to get those resolved now. Hotel room-sharing buddies and likely carpool buddies are posted on the wiki. Please be sure that you know how to get ahold of whoever you are carpooling with (aka, get their phone number) - and that you have also sent this to inode0. We need to get a plan together for how to get to where we are meeting on campus for our FAD. The best solution here seems like we should have the crew staying at Chez John (that's inode0, spevack, dgilmore) come on over and meet us at the hotel lobby, either for breakfast or for "it's time to go." Those of us NOT staying at Chez John need to know how to get to Chez John for evening-time stuff (aka watching Robyn look foolish playing pool). If anyone else has other items that need to be addressed that I've forgotten, comments, questions, please pipe in. Thanks, -Robyn

Event Report : Fedora Presentation at Neapoli (Thessaloniki), Greece
by Giannis Konstantinidis 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hi fellow ambassadors, Just to report a presentation I gave the previous week. Well 1 and a half week ago I gave a speech about fedora in my school in Thessaloniki,Greece.In the beginning I didn't know what to expect but the final outcome was great. There were around 30 attendees.So,I started with a presentation using a projector and did my best to represent fedora in the best way.I talked about fedora as an operating system and focused on its strengths.After that I spoke about the fedora community and the way we act as a part of it.Also,I tried to convince them to join the fedora project. In the second part of the presentation,there was something like a small workshop and we used live cds in the PCs of our computer laboratory.The students were surprised because they didn't have the chance to use a linux distribution before.In the end,they asked me more than 25 questions (!) and that seemed that they really became interested in fedora.Finally,I handed live cds and fedora flyers (translated in Greek).All of the students seemed to be satisfied. In the end,I think that the speech was pretty good and the final outcome was above my expectations.It was a good speech from a 15 year old ambassador I guess :) You can views some photos from the presentation (they are pretty bad-taken photos,but never mind) [1] as well as read the blog post here [2] Also,I would like to thank the fellow contributors from the Greek Fedora Team for their help :) Regards, giannisk [1] http://konstantinidiscorner.terapad.com/index.cfm?fa=contentImageGallery.li… [2] http://konstantinidis.wordpress.com/2010/05/11/105/ -- Giannis Konstantinidis Fedora Project Ambassador giannisk(a)fedoraproject.org http://konstantinidiscorner.terapad.com giannisk on irc.freenode.net
