Booth Ideas
by Jeff Sandys
I am Fedora Ambassador Jeff Sandys and gave a presentation called Spin Your
Exhibit at Fedora Rochester. The main idea is that we want to give the
Linux Fest guest an experience they will remember. By focusing on a spin we
can focus the experience. While some guests are not interested in music or
games, many are. Guests for music could experience playing instruments,
guests for games could experience a TuxCart tournament or play other games.
The swag we give guests should be associated with their experience, we gave
guitar picks and TuxCart entry cards to guests. If a guest tells a friend
about their Fedora experience we succeeded in making a connection.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spin_Your_Exhibit
I will continue to fill in this page with materials and notes for the spin
exhibits. Please get me your feedback on the Spin your Exhibit
presentation and your experience of guests interaction. Add your ideas for
the spin you are interested in.
Thanks,
Jeff Sandys

I might be able to come, but I have 0 time to plan what to do there.

Help Fedora Hubs by taking a quick social media survey
by Máirín Duffy
Hi Ambassadors!
Our Outreachy intern, Suzanne Hillman, has put together a survey about Fedora contributors’ usage of social media to help us prioritize potential future integration with various social media platforms with Fedora Hubs. We've noticed that usage of different platforms seems to be related to different regions, so we're specifically interested in getting survey responses from Fedora contributors world-wide. We would also love to hear from ambassadors because the feature this would be for (regional hubs) is geared specifically for supporting ambassadors and their local communities.
The survey link is:

It will be amazing to have such material for events. For some people,
languages are a big barrier, and these things will help us to tell them
that distros like fedora are well translated.

Budget Update
by Brian Exelbierd
Today the Council met and voted on a budget issue that affects
Ambassadors:
The FY18 (2017-2018) budget provided by RH will not be available by
March 1, 2017. Therefore the council has authorized a temporary
spending authorization for Ambassador regions in today's meeting.
Regions are authorized to allocate/spend up to 10% of their prior year
budget. This should carry us through to the final budget allocation
which is coming. This IS NOT A BUDGET CUT. This is just a way to allow
regions to keep doing their work while also protecting us from the
unknown. See details below please.
Explanation/Discussion:
Because we do not have final budget numbers, we need to be conservative
with spending. Therefore Ambassador regions are authorized to allocate
and potentially spend up to 10% of their prior year budget. This is NOT
A FINAL BUDGET nor do we expect to have severe budget cuts, but we need
to be fiscally responsible. If a region needs to spend more than this
amount, they should vote on the ticket assuming they will receive 90% of
their prior year budget and make a request to the Council in a ticket.
To put this in context, 10% of the prior year budget should cover the
period from March 1 to about April 10 (assuming level spending). For
some regions this may go further depending on the actual timing of
events. The 90% level proposed above assuming some cutting and allows
for regions to make a decision based on a reasonably conservative
estimate of their total budget. While changes are possible, we are not
expecting the public budget to be reduced but have been given no
official guidance on this. Additionally, this estimates reasonably
conservative reductions to account for some budgetary realignment the
Council may choose to do.
regards,
bex
