Hi, sankarshan

Hi Zaid,
I will be responding to the thread here (the off-list replies we have
had can be read in the context)
I am not surprised. Over the years, it has been an interesting trend

to watch students not take trouble to obtain and cultivate the skills
which would provide them with enough demonstrated experience when they
are looking for jobs.
Would it be possible for you to share notes from this

lecture/presentation ? One of the usual issues I notice is that
talking with students exhorting them to directly participate in FOSS
is counter-productive. Demonstrating that they can do their day-to-day
stuff using FOSS/Fedora instead of proprietary products would make a
difference. For example, showing them how to do their assignments of
Data Structures or, C/C++ on Fedora and so forth.
A rock concert is sure an interesting way to spread Fedora.
How many are using it ? Have they faced any issues ? How are you

responding to any issues/complaints that they have raised ? For
example, NIT-Durgapur / NIT-Agartala have had active mailing lists for
their UserGroups to facilitate end user discussions and foster a sense
of community.
Again, how are they using it ?

I'd suggest that you take some time out to get to speed. Fedora 11 was

During the period when you were sponsored into the Ambassador Group,
you should have received Welcome mails, please go through them and if
you have any queries, request that you be assigned a mentor to guide
you as to how best you can put your skills and competencies to use.
I'd suggest "walk and then run". As of now, I haven't seen concrete

results from your time at the college level. Setting up a lab is just
the first step, the subsequent steps to coach a good team of people
who can help you is most required.
I have said this again and, I'd like to re-iterate :
> So i need banners,stickers, and other Advertisement products,
[1] I'd like to see you coordinate with the respective teams to ensure
that the artwork ie. banners, stickers and flyers are consistent with
the Fedora Design Guidelines.
[2] You should be talking with the Marketing team to ensure that the
content on the flyers is relevant and, perhaps figuring if you'd like
to have content in your local language too.
I'd like to see a plan :

- what are you planning as a run-up to the event
- how much would it cost per line item
- what are your plans
- how will you estimate that your events have been successful
- what do you intend to do as a follow-up to this event
It would be helpful to have your blog syndicated on Planet Fedora.

By drawing up a plan. To be very brutal "I want to do an event, I want

> money for its expenses
money for Banners" does not really provide any pointers as to what
exactly you are planning.
I don't think there is a need to provide a qualifier to "Ambassador".

Being an Ambassador means that you are the face of Fedora in your
region. Demonstrating and, living the spirit that keeps the Fedora
community ticking should by default make you a role model for your
peers.
