[Fedora-ambassadors-list] RE: a Fedora Education Partner
by Hornain Frederic 17 Mar '06

Hi Mario, Are you a teacher, student or external volunteer ? And what have you planned to do ? Now in order to answer your question, you have just to edit the corresponding wiki page and registered yourself then add the date of you next presentation, event, intervention at school. Oh, yes in order to do that, you have to be obviously a member of Fedora community. Now, if a school or university wish to be a partner, it should have internaly a group of teachers or students who are working or partcipating actively with the Fedora community. Then it efforts will be sumitted for approval by the community. It you have any questions remarks, feel free to contact me.

by Chitlesh GOORAH 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hello everyone, There will now be A livecd based on the Fedora Core 5 Test 3 available for download here. We have to thank the Ambassador JonFautley for hosting it temporarily for me. #001 ======= where to Download and Burn ====================== Im uploading it please wait. It might take hours. how long it will be available will depend on JonFautley. #002 ======== About the Live CD: ==================== The liveCD is gnome-based only. Language & Keyboard settings : french (fr) ISO size: 677.2 MB License: same as Fedora Core 5 Test 3 why french? because i had already an iso for http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChitleshGoorah/FedoraLiveCDs this is the cd im using in France to promote FC5. Ill replace the iso during the weekend by an ENGLISH version. username = root password = fedora ok. Ive built it myself this livecd. I've chosen the packages myself. If your favorite packages are not in the livecd or it does not support your language, you can still create your own Fedora Core 5 Test 3 live cd with Kadischi. You don't need to be programmer to create it. 30 minutes a Fedora LiveCD. This is the beauty of the Kadischi Project. You can create of your Fedora based Livecd with your own selection of packages with having to smash your head against the wall. see. www.fedoraproject.org/wikiKadischi/Development ========== #003 The liveCD and you =================== For now its meant for i386 only. if you havent installed FC5 Test * yet and you want to know what's inside, the livecd is for you. (not everything is inside) if you want to market FC5 in your surroundings, the livecd is your mate. The livecd will give you the ability to save your files in a usb stick, (not like knoppix yet) please if you can you could help me to write a release note along during the enhancement of this livecd.

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Ubuntu Linux leader proposes six-week delay
by David Barzilay 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

New versions of Ubuntu Linux have been released at a steady six-month cadence, but project founder Mark Shuttleworth is considering a six-week delay to improve the reliability of an important new version. The next version, called Dapper Drake, is due in April. It's the first version that will have longer-term support commitments--three years for the desktop computer version and five years for servers, compared to 18 months for the current 5.10 "Breezy Badger" version. Getting those features right is important, Shuttleworth said in an e- mail on Friday. "We will live with Dapper for five years--so let's give it a few extra weeks now so that it can be a real asset to the Ubuntu project for the full duration of its lifespan," Shuttleworth said. |more at: http://tinyurl.com/qvzmn| Yes!!! Is FC5 still planned for March 15? Best, -- David Barzilay

RE: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] New FC5 Release and the Press
by Hornain Frederic 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Dear Friends, I know I am not often on the IRC or on the mailing list but I always makes know what Fedora is and how to use it to every potential users. I will create a wiki page about remarks I received during a presentation of Fedora when I went to a school few week ago. In addition, you could find my presentation on the migration from Unix to Linux at the following URL : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Presentations?action=AttachFile&do=get&target… if something is wrong do not hesitate to tell me. Oh yes ! By the way, I think the "Fedora in the street" idea is quite clever. I am going to apply that when I met someone who is interested by Fedora. Finally as the FC5 is coming, I am going to spread the word to the belgian IT press. Just tell them that the new release will be available the 20th of march and give them link them to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Press. If you have any comments about how to proceed to contact the press, feel free to contact me cause it will be the first time for me.

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Newbie - PatrickMcKelvey
by Pat McKelvey 13 Mar '06

I am a newbie at this. I read in the past minutes that there is a no hats rule. Where can I find the rules? What is acceptable? Also, perhaps a bullet list of the things that an Ambassador needs to be able to do to function well in the Ambassadorial environment. i.e. How do you use the IRC, if you normally don't use it. You need to do the following: use gnupg - see the man pages for that also .... use seahorse - .... Move your signature to pgp.mit keyserver .... Sign a letter using your GPG signature .. {that can be found by using gedit. Eventually Thunderbird will have that option. But Fedora C3 version does not. How to do that can be found in the help and man pages of gedit.}? set up IRC to get on irc.freenode.net How to do that can be found ... connect to #fedora-mktg. how to do that can be found .... Carry on a conversation on that media how to do that can be found .... I want to support Fedora. I have 15-20 years experience as a system administrator with UNIX and LINUX. Some of this is new infrastructure to me as my experience was focused in the box, not the internet. I am trying to set up an install event with the local Cincinnati LUG. As the release date is close, I expect I will down load the ISOs and take two sets to the next meeting for those who want it NOW and dont want to wait. -- Patrick C.

[Fedora-ambassadors-list] AREL event 12 march 2006 - Report
by Thomas Canniot 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

AREL is a local organisation that promotes education and entertainment. They were organising a multimedia event on sunday which aimed at introducing all the organisation of the area (photo, radio, internet, computer sciencing...) Some people who wish to create a local LUG were there to show open-source softwares and discuss about creating a local lug. I was among them. We were about 4 men on the booth promoting freesoftware. 3 of them had brought there laptop (i don't have one) to show their distributions. Moreover, I could not bring my own computer with me as I went there by train. It was a very local event, then about 100 - 150 people came to the event in general. Many people came and asked questions about free software in general. As it was a first approach meeting in the area, it was more relevant to explain free software principles. Many of them had already heard about Linux, but no distribution name was known. About Fedora, not having my own laptop caused me a lot of problems. First, it was very difficult to request a 100% Fedora/Kadischi laptop. My friends do not know about Fedora that much and are more at ease - for the moment - with debian-like distribution. Then, not having a laptop was as well a problem to burn iso. The public were more interested in live-cd and I was very reluctant to burn a still-in-developpment live cd based on a beta-distribution. I only burnt one of them, to a Fedora fan (wow!). Many people were very interested in free software, as an alternative of warez and piracy. That is a good point we have for us. Some of them failed to understand that it is possible to make software for free. However i learned a lot of things about promoting fedora core. - I need a laptop :) - We really need a live cd. About it, I think that we must keep the way it is at the moment, I mean, zero-configuration live-cd, that boots up without asking any question. Many people attending on the booth were a bit disturbed by the simple choice of the screen resolution question of Ubuntu live-cd for example. - We really need video to promote Fedora Core. Red Hat's videos (truthappens, choice, inevitable) are good ones to attract public attention and establishing a first contact with people, but they are not relevant for Fedora. I am going to see what can be done about this kind of video but I can't promise anything. Photos of the booth are available online there : http://mrtomlinux.multiply.com/photos/album/6 About the local lug, it is likely to be created soon. It was a good day for free software, but not so good for fedora. Cheers Thomas Canniot
