FAD EMEA 2016 - Call for bids
by Zacharias Mitzelos 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hello everyone, It's time to start planning for our annual EMEA FAD! The EMEA FAD is an annual planning event for the EMEA community. Active ambassadors from various countries get together to discuss what activities we should do in the next year, what events to attend, and what swag to produce. The main outcome of this event is the EMEA budget proposal for the next fiscal year which includes a list of events we will spend money on, Fedora media production, and swag production. This 2-day event is usually hosted in early December, and we don't have a location yet, so I'd like to ask you all to consider submitting a bid for a potential location to host the EMEA FAD this year. The German community was organizing these FADs over the past few years., and you can get an idea from the previous FADs: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Rheinland_2014 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Rheinfelden_2013 There is also a FAD wiki template that you can use to organize your proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:FAD Please post a link of your proposal here. Thanks, Zacharias -- Zacharias Mitzelos <mitzie at mitzelos dot com> mitzie on freenode http://zacharias.mitzelos.com

Let's equip our Communities in EMEA
by Giannis Konstantinidis 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hello everyone, during the last EMEA irc meeting, I proposed that we should make sure all active communities within our region are equipped with basic booth equipment such as roll-up banners and tableclothes. Currently, there is just one or two tableclothes for the whole region. Not every community has its own roll-up banners and while some do, these are not anymore in a proper working condition (e.g. colors have started fading out, stands are showing signs of heavy use). Spending budget on such an initiative can be considered a good investment, since the equipment produced will last for years and will enable our communities to look overall more professional when representing the project during events and conferences. We still have a significant amount of the current fiscal year's budget unspent and we can definitely use some of it. Does your community lack some booth equipment? Please visit the following wiki page and let us know: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/Community_Equipment Ideas, thoughts, feedback? -Giannis -- Giannis Konstantinidis giannis(a)konstantinidis.cc http://konstantinidis.cc giannisk on irc.freenode.net

by Till Maas 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, from 5 November to 6 November there will the conference OpenRheinRuhr in Oberhausen, Germany. Fedora participated there in the past [1] and I am wondering if there are others that are interested in joining me to promote Fedora there. If I get some positive feedback I will prepare a new wiki page with up-to-date information. Kind regards Till [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenRheinRuhr_2014

Shipping tips wiki page
by Nemanja Milosevic 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hello all, Because of recent troubles with customs in my country and not being able to receive media and other Fedora materials, I started working on this wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_tips As you can see it's a collection of shipping tips or more precisely how the package should be marked so it can clear customs more easily. I know this isn't an issue for folks living in USA or EU countries but it may be helpful to others. Please consider contributing by adding your country to the list with your custom regulations so it is more easier to send packages between us contributors. Hope you all are having a great day, Kind regards, Nemanja

Report of Software Freedom Day Xiyou 2016
by Tommy He 18 Sep '16

18 Sep '16

As a local Fedora ambassador, I happened to be informed by another member/ambassador of Fedora Chinese User Group that an event will be held in the city where I live at to celebrate Software Freedom Day. The event took place in Xi'an University of Postal and Telecommunication, which is close to where I live. Upon arriving at the conference room inside well decorated university library, I was warm-welcomed by the organizer and volunteers. Later I know they're all part of their well-formed Linux User Group. Clearly quite an effort was put into this event and this is far better than any university-organized SFD events I ever attended. Well-lighted conference room with multiple projectors, speedy Wifi coverage, real-time social network boards, and speakers from open-source companies with big names in China. Audience were composed by professors from School of Computing, members of local LUG and freshmen to university, over 200. I was told by the organizer that LUG has been organizing local SFD event for 11 years. The complexity of organizing an event like this was well-established and communicated with university management team, thus even for someone like him who's pretty new to LUG, they can organize the event like a professional. Besides me, other speakers are from Deepin, a local Linux istro and Ubuntu Kylin, a co-operate distro between China and Canonical. Presentations they gave are focused around on life experience and open source communities 101. The talk I presented are around two new stuff found in recently released Fedora 25 Alpha: Wayland and Flatpak. Probably because it's only one talk about technology, it was well-received. I'm confident on this because some good questions were asked during FAQ session. Speeches were followed by the usual lucky draw and group photos. It ended at noon as planned. Checked swags I brought, they were all distributed to the people with good minds, I believe. More details and photos about this event can be found on Wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SFD_2016_Xiyou Regards, Tommy He -- Take a Deep Breath out of Windows https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Lovenemesis

Fwd: Fedorahosted.org sunset: 2017-02-28
by Zamir Sun 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

FYI, take action if you have projects in fedorahosted.org ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Fenzi <kevin(a)scrye.com> Date: Thu, Sep 8, 2016 at 12:44 AM Subject: Fedorahosted.org sunset: 2017-02-28 To: announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, fedorahosted-announce(a)lists.fedorahosted.org Greetings. Fedora Infrastructure currently maintains two sites for general open source code hosting: fedorahosted.org and pagure.io. Fedorahosted.org was established in late 2007 using Trac for issues and wiki pages, Fedora Account System groups for access control and source uploads, and offering a variety of Source Control Management tools (git, svn, hg, bzr). With the rise of new workflows and source repositories fedorahosted.org has ceased to grow, adding just one new project this year and a handful the year before. Pagure.io was established in 2015, and is a modern Flask/Python based application. It is under rapid development and supports git repos for source code, docs, and tickets. The pull request model is used for changes along with many options for projects. Access control is standalone. New projects are self service and added all the time. Given the lack of growth and continued maintenance burden, Fedora Infrastructure would like to retire fedorahosted.org and encourage all its active projects to move to pagure.io (or whatever other place they feel best meets their needs). We have tenatively scheduled this retirement for February 28th, 2017. The Infrastructure team has already contacted owners of the top ten projects on Fedora Hosted for input on their needs. If your project has special needs, please contact the Infrastructure team (details below) to discuss options. After the sunset date, we will continue to provide raw data from public projects previously hosted at fedorahosted.org, but the service itself will be closed. We hope to provide this data for download for a few years, but won't provide it forever. A quick FAQ: Question: pagure.io has some issues/problems that prevent me from moving my project there. What can I do? Answer: Please file these issues against pagure: https://pagure.io/pagure/issues/ and we will try and address them as best we can. Note that not every feature request can be accommodated but the team will consider all requests. Question: How can I migrate my data from fedorahosted to pagure.io? Answer: You can use the https://pagure.io/pagure-importer tool to migrate trac data to pagure.io issues. Git repositories should be easily migrated with a push to the new pagure.io repo. Releases can be uploaded to pagure.io. Question: I want to test things out, but not migrate yet, how can I do that? Answer: We have a https://stg.pagure.io/ test instance you are welcome to create projects on and test importing data. Note that from time to time we clear out this instance, so do not use it for any long term use. Question: What happens if I ignore this/don't get around to migrating my project by the 2017-02-28 deadline? Answer: We hope to provide the raw data from projects for download for a while, so you should be able to download a tar.xz of your old git repo and trac files, but it will be up to you to extract what you need from them, and we won't host them forever. The data sunset period would be at least several additional months. Question: Does pagure.io support hg, bzr, svn or cvs? Answer: no. Question: I have more questions, where can I get more answers? Answer: Feel free to ask on the infrastructure(a)lists.fedoraproject.org list or #fedora-admin on IRC Thanks, kevin -- announce mailing list announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/announce@lists.fedoraproject.org

LinuxCon Europe in Berlin
by Jiri Eischmann 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Hi, I'm organizing a Fedora booth at LinuxCon Europe that is held in Berlin on Oct 4-6. I managed to get a booth for free and I'm looking for 2 more volunteers to staff the booth with me. Anyone interested? If there are more candidates, I prefer local ambassadors and those who have more experience because LinuxCon Europe is attended by IT professionals and it requires certain knowledge and overview to promote Fedora there.

Want to be Fedora contributor? Start with Fedora 25 translation sprint!
by Jona Azizaj 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

We often meet many Fedora users that say, “How can I contribute something to Fedora?” or “How do I become part of Fedora?” This is the right time to reach all those users and inform them they can be contributors! Why now? For translations, users already know their local language. Its just a matter of using translation tools like Zanata to get those translations in. This is also one good way to learn about processes in the Fedora community. It’s a fantastic chance to learn about packages, reviews, IRC, Bugzilla, mailing lists, etc. We’re having a Fedora Activity Day, or FAD, to finish translations prior to the next Beta release. We will be gathering online from 3th September to 9th September. We have a list of priority projects to translate and many languages to cover. In later stages, one can also help rewarding contributors and effectively closing the events with statistics and reports. Learn how you can give back to Fedora by helping translate Fedora to other languages [1]. Cheers, Jona [1] https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-25-translation-sprint/
