Hi, Zach,

I am going to be at Fosdem and willing to help with the booth as usual. I'll bring my 2-wheels Raspberry Pi robot with me as well.

I don't need funding, is there a wiki page for Fedora booth this year where I should sign in?

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 and how you are going to contribute to the booth. We will start reviewing requests on January 8, so submit early to get selected.

Thanks,
Zach
