Ideas for next party (release or otherwise)
Add a security spin or design spin showcase
- Security spin:
Seeing as it's an IT concentration, use the security spin and maybe few VMs to
showcase how to test compliance with various benchmarks, best practices, passphrase dice
even (if possible), passcards (usign gpg even)>
For the passcards, use a gpg key generation/signing party to teach the uses and
best practices of signing code/binary/messages/hosting encrypted password files ( or
sharing as such between colleagues). Then have them take a file say a resume or research
paper and run gpg2 -e -a -u 0xKEYID ~/file to get an armored .asc to use for
passwords/passphrases or salts/hashes etc for padding/hardening.>
Wireless/wired monitoring showcase, we all know some regions are notorious for
less than ideal connects and censorship, show how tools built into Fedora, namely curated
in the security spin (dnf install @security-lab for non security spins, to bootstrap) for
ways to detect or create own friendly networks for lan parties and the like. Also as a
tangent use this to show how to harden a blog or webserver against attacks using a VM or
other system and attacking with common vectors with tools in Fedora.>
-- Design spin:
Showcase gimp, showing how it can be used to replace photoshop and in many cases be
more featured and functional.> Show how 3D printing or designs can easily be
drafted in the tools in Design spin and then imported ( largely untouched) into 3D
modeling /printing suites ( most also available in Fedora,Rpmfusion,COPR).>
Just a few stub ideas for anyone for their next event or party.
I also think gnokii's idea for a "how to join an online community:
IRC/SSH/etc." is great too.
Corey, do you have curriculums/playbooks/guides for these events so that Ambassadors can
replicate them? We need to get out of hte business of everyone have to reinvent the
wheel.

bex

you're doing the F26 release party in Phnom Penh. I think this is a fantastic idea.
I like that you are working directly with lots of future members of the IT working groups
in Cambodia and likely future contributors. I really appreciate how using Fedora as a
base has let you talk about all kinds of technology and firmly introduce it. Students are
a hard audience, and it seems like you've found a great low-resource high energy way
to engage them. This is awesome. Keep your posts coming. I think these kind of release
parties create an opportunity for existing contributors and ambassadors to really bond
with potential community members. Many of our activities don't seem to have obvious
followup. I would be surprised if there isn't clear followup by Sirko here as he will
obviously have invested a lot of time and made friends (by showing off freedom, features
and first). What other ideas could we do like this in your region?>>
> yes there was a lot of time investment, the organizing of it started last year in
May/June as I was first time at PNC for discussing their curriculum. The curriculum was
changed since then, e.g. is now CENTOS used for teaching Linux basics instead of SLES. We
had several meetups, what I in my Fedora role could do to support PNC in their process to
get the students ready for their later role.>> There will be another more Fedora
oriented workshop, where we talk more about Fedora itself. The students know already the
relationship Fedora has to CENTOS and looking forward to it. But so far the "Release
Party" part is not finished yet. I still have to write a post about the Saturday and
there are follow ups, every student did get a questionaire where I have received right now
28/50 after we received all and evaluated them, I will have another meeting with John
Munger as head of PNC and Benoit Pitet to make an judgement, if we will do this in future
again and where we been good with and where we can do better. So far we have a good
feeling, as we made a short round after the party itself. There is another positive
outcome, PN has not just a branch in Cambodia they have also one in Da Nang/Viet Nam and
Cebu/Philippines so we might do it there in the future to, but lets see. >>
> So it was highly time consuming what I did (and still havent finished yet) but here
are all things more time consuming as in Europe or America. >>
> If you want to help the region, then tell some first of all to realize the
geographical size of it. They shall take an old atlas and cut out the Philippines and put
it over Europe and the same they can do with Indonesia and put it over US. Maybe then they
realize a bit of the dimensions and time zone problem we have here and stop to think its
totally easy here to organize ONLINE IRC MEETINGS. Not speaking that even a rich country
like Singapore has sometimes electricity problems ;)>>
> Time is the biggest issue here, everything costs a lot of time and you have also
lesser time. Brian I told you back at FUDCon, Asia would need an Impact by itself. The
people have lesser time here to organize things but they are willing to contribute and
participate. I remember a discussion with Jeroen and Tuan about motivation of Asians, Tuan
and I did not agree that they have to be motivated, they do everything with a lot of
passion but organizing things they have a problem with, they lack on expierience for doing
it and the time to do it. So the job for this Impact is to organize with the help of the
locals, local events. We have also get rid of the thinking that they will be the same kind
of contributors as we currently have in other parts of the world. Here we will have more
an amount of people that will join an hackfest or sprint. Forget about any idea to that
ONLINE, it will not work. Why question yourself, why I never did hear from Yekleang Dy,
did she really start with the Web Team? The answer is no, why she doesnt know what IRC is,
not what is SSH and and and.... They have a problem to learn such things by themself, they
need somebody next to them with an idea, what it is. Therefore you do here better FAD,
hackfests and sprints or do you expect me to go to each potential contributor and do it
personally? Can do that, send me a cheque for my living costs ;)>>
> But first of all this region needs more attention at all and a changing in thinking
of some people. I give you an example, your budget changes created a lot of uncertainty
here in APAC what leads to that no money is spent and the activity of all here broke down.
So when in future the council or FPL wants to make changes in the budgeting or similar
things, come up with a clear plan and not say, we will tell you later.....>>
> Here its anyway more complicated to do things strategically and plan events long
ahead, thats why APAC always has the problem spending his budget as planned. If you did
read my post I already complained about it. You really commit here sometimes a lot of time
in an event and then it doesnt happen and of course Asian dont blog about that, only
success stories ;) We will not change that, they seeing that as a failure and telling that
in public means they loose their face.>>

current atmosphere Fedora is in, I will not do. >>
