Hello ambassadors,
FOSDEM[0], the biggest free and non-commercial event organized by and for the community in Europe, is less than a month away. The conference will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on February 2 & 3. As every year, EMEA Ambassadors organize the booth at FOSDEM, where many developers, contributors and students visit it to discuss with us or get some swag.
This is an open call for Fedora ambassadors to participate in our booth at FOSDEM. Our theme is about extending the Fedora Project by developing new solutions, packaging, helping users get installed, and troubleshoot any errors that they may have. We are looking for experienced ambassadors to work with new users, and you must possess extensive knowledge around the not so technical stuff of the distribution. We want to focus on helping users be successful with Fedora, and not try to be a general helpdesk for all technologies as most of them have their own communities present. We want to focus on helping users be successful with Fedora, and not try to be a general helpdesk for all technologies as most of them have their own communities present. We are also welcoming new contributors who didn’t get the chance to come in the previous years. While we prefer contributors from EMEA to allow us to use our budget to bring the most contributors, we make our decision based on fit for our goals at the conference first and money second.
There is also some budget in place and we can provide travel and lodging funding to ambassadors in order to attend and assist at the booth. Sponsored ambassadors are expected to work for 8 hours at the booth during the two days of the conference. We will try to accommodate your needs, but we need to keep the booth fully staffed so we will be building the schedule for you. If you would like to request funding, open a funding request at the EMEA funding request tracker[1], explaining why you are asking for funding, why you should get it and how you are going to contribute to the booth. We will start reviewing requests on January 8, so submit early to get selected.
Have a nice weekend,
Zach

I am beginning to prepare the schedule for Fedora 31. One thing I want
to do is to make sure it still accurately reflects the work of
different teams within Fedora. Please look at the tasks on your team's
schedule [1] and discuss them in your team. Let me know if there are
tasks that should be added, removed, or modified. You can email me
directly or file an issue in Pagure[2].
I ask that you please provide feedback by Friday, 18 January, although
I will be able to incorporate changes after that.

Good day.
Actually in EMEA there are no swags.
How is that possible that in the moment of a new Fedora release we
cannot organize a Fedora release party?
Best regards
