Where is Fedora? What are we Doing?
by Brian Exelbierd
Hi All,
I noticed that we have an events calendar in fedocal[0]. It appears to
contain one event and that event is misfiled[1].
Where do regions post all of the events Fedora will be participating in?
I get asked, A LOT, whether Fedora will be at event X or Y. It would be
great to have a place where we could easily see all of the events we are
participating in. In an idea world, I see something like this:
<2 ltr country code> - Event Name - City
Date(s)
Description:
Fedora Speaker or Booth or whatever
For details see this wiki page and/or contact this person
We could use this data to improve our marketing and to improve our
coordination across the project.
I believe it would be reasonable to ask that event owners be required to
create this calendar event as part of getting their event approved by
Ambassadors. What do you think?
regards,
bex

1: I've emailed the event owner and asked them to move it. I am worried
they are not active anymore.

I can't speak to the paperwork or other processes, however there is no
block on paying for things after January 20. I am happy to process
charges on my card in an attempt to clear them in this FY. The worst
case scenario is that this year's BrickHack and WicHack will be paid for
with next year's money.
regards,

Call for Presentations at LinuxFest NorthWest, May 6-7, 2017
by Jeff Sandys
Freedom, Friends, Features, First. The theme of this years LinuxFest
NorthWest is ‘The Mechanics of Freedom’.
Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are becoming even more
integrated in the lives of regular citizens. Along with these changes comes
concern over the trade-offs between convenience and privacy. For example:
Privacy in the age of relentless online tracking, How bots can help you
onboard new community members, Training driverless vehicles, How the
Internet of Things took down DNS.
LFNW wants presentations that bring together pieces of this larger puzzle,
60 or 90 minute talks. The theme is not mandatory but highly encouraged.
The Tracks are:
-
*Security –- *Keeping your personal data secure, e.g. Privacy in the age
of relentless online tracking
-
*Infrastructure –- *Latest testing, automation tools, and databases,
e.g. How the Internet of Things took down DNS
-
*Humans –- *Community, education, licensing, legal, e.g. How bots can
help you on-board new community members
-
*Code –- *Frameworks, content management systems, and programming
languages, e.g. Training driverless vehicles
-
*General Interest –- *Not covered by the tracks above? That’s okay! e.g.
Beginners guide to the Linux desktop
Each track will have simultaneously sub-tracks for expert and newcomers, 10
tracks total.
-
*Newcomer* (30%) –- No prior knowledge or prerequisites, e.g.
Introduction to Ubuntu
-
*Learner* (20%) --- Some prior knowledge in topic, e.g. Introduction to
ZFS
-
*Expert* (50%) --- In depth experience around the topic, e.g. Deep dive
into MongoDB sharding
LFNW is expanding the tutorium to hold in depth, hands on sessions of all
topics and difficulties, 90 minutes or 2.5 hours in length.
Submit your proposal here.
https://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/2017/submit-session

the booth let me know on the Fedora Wiki page. Fedora make have Travel
