Motorola Lapdock Donation
by Mike DePaulo 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hi everyone, I have a new spare Motorola Atrix Lapdock that I could donate. You can hook it up to a raspberry pi with a few adapters/cables: http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Raspberry-Pi-Lapdock-Connection/ "The lapdock incorporates a razor-sharp 11" HDMI display, an almost-adequate keyboard-with-trackpad, twin speakers, and a high-capacity battery -- all in a thin two-pound package." (Note: "razor-sharp" == 1366x768.) Are any regions interested in receiving it? -Mike

EMEA Trac migrated to Pagure
by Zacharias Mitzelos 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Hello EMEA Ambassadors, I completed the trac migration from fedorahosted to pagure. The visibility has been set to private, since there is sensitive information like home addresses, receipts, phone numbers, etc attached to the tickets. There are a couple of active tickets in the trac, that I will transfer to the new issue trackers soon. You can find the migrated trac here[1]. Please do not open new tickets there, use the other issue trackers to request funding or swag. I have created another issue tracker for funding requests[2], that is set to public for the time being. This will be our primary issue tracker for funding requests or other expenses that will be reimbursed from the EMEA Budget. In the next meeting we have to make a decision weather or not we want to move forward with bex's idea to have 2 issue trackers for funding requests (one public under the EMEA group, and one private were receipts will be uploaded at, under the fedora-budget group). There is also an issue tracker for swag requests[3] that is set to private (because it contains private information like addresses and phone numbers). All of the repositories/issue trackers I mentioned can be found under the EMEA Ambassadors group in pagure[4]. Members of this group can see the private issue trackers, add comments to private tickets, change the status of tickets, and many more. I added some EMEA Ambassadors to the group. If you have not been added, you can ping me(off-list or in Telegram) or someone else that is in the group to add you. Please don't add people to the group that are not EMEA Ambassadors. By default people that are in the EMEA Ambassadors group in pagure receive email notifications for ticket creation, new comments, status updates in tickets, etc. You can stop receiving notifications by visiting the specific project and click the stop watching button. For example, you might want to unsubscribe from the swag_requests tracker. I'm still exploring the capabilities of pagure, so please correct me if I did something wrong. Many thanks to jflory7 and nmilosev for their help during the migration! Cheers, Zach [1] https://pagure.io/ambassadors-emea/trac_obsolete [2] https://pagure.io/ambassadors-emea/funding_requests [3] https://pagure.io/ambassadors-emea/swag_requests [4] https://pagure.io/group/ambassadors-emea -- Zacharias Mitzelos <mitzie at mitzelos dot com> mitzie on freenode http://zacharias.mitzelos.com

Fedorator
by Jiri Eischmann 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hi, you may have heard of Fedorator recently. Miro Hrončok supervised a bachelor thesis whose result was a Fedora USB drive writer box. It's all open source hardware, you can find it at Github: https://github.com/Sanqui/fedorator The thesis (in English) is here: https://diplomky.redhat.com/grid-file/ serve-file?mongoId=591b657ee4b00455e619aca6&bucket=thesis&save=true My idea is to organize a workshop at Flock where we would assemble say 10 units and then ambassadors would bring them back to their countries and use at events. Since DVDs are going away it could be a useful addition to event equipment and one of replacements for DVDs. I'm writing it here to hear opinions of other ambassadors. Do you think it's something worth investing time and money in? Jiri

IRC for the 21st century: Introducing Riot
by Justin W. Flory 22 May '17

22 May '17

Hey Ambassadors, I wanted to share a helpful resource with the community about a great, new (and open source) way to use IRC. Many of us are already familiar with IRC, so we know its strengths and also its weaknesses. It can be difficult for people who are just getting involved with open source and Fedora for the first time. Over the past year, a new protocol called Matrix has been developed with a front-end client called Riot. It integrates easily with various IRC networks (including Freenode), offering a bouncer-like service and a friendly, easy-to-use interface for various platforms. You can check out more about Riot and see how to use it in the following article on Opensource.com: https://opensource.com/article/17/5/introducing-riot-IRC Hope some people find this useful! Thought I would share it. :) Even if you're already using your own IRC setup, the work going on with Matrix / Riot is still cool to read about. Feel free to share this with anyone who might find it useful too. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Please note that this meeting is going to be held even if the release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two hours earlier.

Fedorator: A Raspberry Pi-based Open HW box that puts Fedora onto USB sticks
by Miro Hrončok 19 May '17

19 May '17

Hi all. Since the Fedora DVD are dying, Sanqui (a student of mine) designed an Open Hardware device that can attract visitors of a Fedora booth on various conferences and can copy a selected image with Fedora onto an inserted USB stick. The prototype with build instructions is available on GitHub [1], more photos are in my tweet [2]. We also have a physical device and will test it "in production" on PyCon CZ (8‑10 June). It has been designed to be cheap, hackable and easy to assembly. You should be able to build it quite well already, but a more robust version of the case is being developed. If interested, feel free to reply on-list, submit an issue on GitHub or ping Sanqui directly on #fedora, #fedora-devel or #fedora-python.

[FAmSCo] Policy change: Remove inactive ambassadors from the FAS group
by Robert Mayr 04 May '17

04 May '17

Dear all, after some discussions in the Infra and Council pagure, FAmSCo proposed a change to our inactive ambassadors policy, which has been approved by unanimity.[1] We also decided to reach out to all Regions and have this mentioned in the ambassadors meetings for feedback, and I posted the proposal to the ambassadors list [2] last week too. As there were no concerns about this change, we agreed yesterday to apply it and update the wiki accordingly. [3] We plan to run the script every 6 months, that means the new policy will apply not before the next release cycle. Thank you. Kind regards.
