[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Open Source day
by Wassim K. 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yesterday took place an Open Source day at l'École Nationale des Sciences de l'Informatique, an engineers school in Manouba (10 km from Tunis) organized by a Tunisian association DFSA http://www.dfsa.org.tn After the conferences and theorical debates, we moved to workshops where I had to present Fedora Core. The guests (almost all students) had no idea about what Fedora is, and were interested by SuSe and Mandriva. I could nevertheless convince some of them to assist at the Fedora Installation. All was fine along the configuration through the Anaconda GUI till the last step, then Anaconda crashed with a strange error: The partition is mounted so the installation will abort. Never happened to me before and I felt as ridiculous as Bill Gates did when 98 crashed. Very difficult when the only thing they know about Linux is the penguin. Anyway, I could quickly restart the procedure and the installation was without any problem. Later, some students came with their laptops wanting to install Fedora on their machines; I helped the ones I could and, it was already 18:15, I promised the others to come back to help them to install Fedora Core 5 once it's released. I could "convert" at least 7 people to install Fedora on their machines, explaining what SE Linux is, how stable, secure, user-friendly Fedora is, letting them trying different hardware on Fedora (Digital cameras, MP3 flash, Nokia's), I also explained to those familiar with old Redhat versions the efficiency of yum instead of the classical RPM "manual" installation. Newbies liked the Gnome interface with Blue Curve theme; I promised those who did not like the idea of substituting MP3 by OGG to install MP3 players and converters, all the DivX codecs and DVD players if they only dare install Fedora. Here was a report of my first activity as Fedora ambassador; next Open Source day will occure after one month, probably in another university. All suggestions are welcome so that I contribute to promote our distribution.

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Getting FC5
by Kirill "REDbyte" Novikov 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Hi everyone! We've planning to make a great party to promote new FC5. More and more users here choose FC for their workstations and servers, so they would be happy to update their current version. So could we get some DVDs of FC5 to share it with local community, cause it's totally impossiable to download DVD image via local ISPs. We've finally finished our web site linuxcenter.uz - so everyone welcome! Most information is in russian, but forum is full of people who are ready to communicate in english, german, and french language. Another news of the community is making a community distro. Now we're on the step of beta testing. So what about posting some DVDs of FC5? Regards, REDbyte

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Announcing FUDCon Boston 2006
by Jack Aboutboul 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Hot on the heels of the release of Fedora Core 5 and the success of previous FUDCon events worldwide, the Fedora Project is proud to announce FUDCon Boston 2006. FUDCon Boston 2006 will offer a wide range of speakers on an even wider range of topics, in three separate tracks, and is sure to have something for everyone. More Info can be found at: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConBoston2006 ==When== Friday, 7 April 2006. This is the Friday right after LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. ==What== FUDCon Boston 2006 is the fifth such event globally and the second to be held in Boston, Mass. USA. FUDCon Boston 2006 will feature an expanded three track lineup which includes a user, developer and applications track. The application track will feature unique individuals and corporations, such as Levanta, MySQL, Pogo Linux and even representatives from the Catalonian Government in Spain, who have leveraged Fedora for unique purposes and have contributed to the community. The complete schedule can be found on the wiki and will be updated to reflect any time conflicts speaker may have. Please use it as the definitive timetable for the day's events. Additionally, the wiki will be updated with more detailed speaker, abstract and room info for each specific talk. ==Where== The Fedora Project is honored to be able to work with Boston University once again to make this FUDCon a reality. The event will be graciously hosted once again by the BU Office of Information Technology, and this year, the BU School of Management gets in on the fun. Also, as last year, we plan on offering streaming video and audio of all tracks and sessions. This year, these streams will be higher quality than previous attempts, as we think we've gotten it right this time. The streams will be Ogg Theora and should work out of the box for users of Fedora Core 4 and 5. Check the wiki in the coming weeks for links to the streaming content. ==How== As spaces are limited we urge all those interested to pre-register by emailing fudcon-register(a)fedoraproject.org . Those who pre-register will have badges available for pickup the day of FUDCon and will receive preference for sessions which may fill up quickly. ==Thanks== Thanks go out to all who made this possible and have contributed so much to the massive growth and success of the Fedora community. You know who you are. See you in Boston!!

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] FOSS.NITC Report
by Kushal Das 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Hi, here is my report on FOSS.NITC event. FOSS.NITC was held on 18-19 March in Calicut, Kerala (India). This is mainly a student based event, where they meet with industry people. Students from NIT Calicut & other local engineering colleges were there. It was nice to see that NIT Calicut's computer Lab is almost completely based on Fedora (FC4). The same thing is there in other colleges too. So most of the students are very much familiar with Fedora :) My BoF session was mainly attended by students of 1st & 2nd year. They had lots questions about Fedora. They never previously used yum. I talked about FC5 features. One commonly asked question was how to upgrade from FC4 to FC5 (through DVD) as I was distributing FC4 DVDs. In the event some people were talking about KDE in Fedora (they don't like the way it is being packaged), they liked to hear "moving KDE packages into the Fedora Extras repository". Fedora livecd also rocks. Some girls were complaining about "No G size tshirts". The event went good. Regards, Kushal
