[APAC] Poll about Rootconf 2016 budget
by P J P 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hello, So far Red Hat has been a sponsor at an yearly 'Rootconf' conference in Bangalore, India.But this year they could not accommodate it into budget. Please see: -> https://rootconf.in/2016/ We(Fedora) has an allocated ~300/- USD budget for this event. -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Singapore_2015/Events I spoke to the event organizers for having a Fedora booth at Rootconf, they are looking for about Rs 50,000/-(=~ 750 USD) for a booth. This means, we _may not_ have budget for any travel subsidies for attendees. I was wondering if it'd be possible for us to raise our allocated(USD 300/-) budget by some margin? Maybe around ~500 USD? I'm negotiating with the organizers and also trying to find out if we could raise the balance amount in anyway. We need confirmations from APAC(non-India) ambassadors to raise our allocated Fedora budget for the Rootconf 2016. If it's okay with you, please vote for the same here. Thank you. --- -P J P http://feedmug.com

Regions map marks Iceland as North America (rather EMEA)
by Robert Scheck 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Good evening, why do we mark Iceland on our regions map as North America (rather EMEA)? Just to avoid misunderstandings, I am talking about: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors#Where_are_we.3F If Wikipedia isn't wrong, Iceland is closer to continental Europe than to mainland North America through ;-) Personally I would treat Iceland to Europe, thus to EMEA - and Wikipedia's EMEA page would agree here, too. And https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService/Verification also marks Iceland as part of EMEA (as I would expect), so do we have a bug on the regions map maybe? Whatever we agree on (added an Icelander to Cc), it would be great to make this at least consistent across the wiki pages :) Greetings, Robert

I completely agree with the points you mentioned. However, when it comes to finding ways to deploy and implement this in schools, I'm definitely not an expert nor will I act like I am. Perhaps Remy could chime in on this specifically because it definitely is within his realm of expertise from his time at RIT. I think this thread in itself could make a good topic for the next CommOps meeting! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
