Support ?
by Frederic Hornain 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

**Dear *, Yesterday, I talked with one of my client about Fedora and Red Hat and what is the difference between both. Then he explained me what he does with Linux at his company. Indeed, at the begining he was using MySQL on Fedora for little applications without a lot of importance Then with time these applications came bigger and bigger as well as critic for his company. So, now he would like to have a strong support cause he is afraid about problems that he could not resolve in time. So I recommanded him to switch to Red Hat. However, he asked me a question that I was not sure to answer correctly. So I told him that I will look for the right answer and I will give it back. That is the reason of this post. His question was : Ok, Red Hat can offer me supports for its distribution. However, is Red Hat support MySQL which is contained in his distribution or does I have to register at MySQL also to have its specific support? Waiting after your answers, my friends. Thanks in advance for you replies Best Regards Fred -- ----------------------------------------------------- Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list Fedora-ambassadors-list(a)redhat.com Olpc mailing list olpc-open(a)laptop.org

Open Source in school presentation
by Pawel Sadowski 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Hi everybody, On 22-24 September there will be a conference "Open Source in Administration and Education" in Warsaw. I will have a speech on "Open Source in school". I will also have a booth with Fedora gadgets (T- shirts, DVDs and leaflets). The presentation time will be something about 30 minutes. I would like to ask you for an idea on what I can say. I have a preliminary sketch of the presentation, but would like to ask you for a feedback. I have downloaded Linux EduCD, a Live-CD focused on the applications for school and will install some packages used there to show during the presentation. Do you have any other ideas what I can show? I have added the event to FedoraEvents. Its website: www.educon.pl. Regards, Pawel Sadowski

by Chitlesh GOORAH 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Hello there, Just to keep you guys in formed of what is happening here in Alsace! http://strasbourg.linuxfr.org/actu (choose october) In october: - 6 to 8 Salon des Associations This is an annual event in Strasbourg where all non profit legal entities in Strasbourg comes and advertise their own entity in front of the public (15000 people expected). This is not a Fedora specific event but I'll be present during this event with lug members at the same booth. Like any other lug members, we will be advertising the LUG (prime objective) and what LUG members are working on (e.g. me for fedora project) Burned Fedora ISOs will be distributed for free at the booth, if asked. - 13 to 15 : Science Day This is not a Fedora Specific event but I'll be present during this event with lug members at the same booth. We (lug members) will be talking about educational linux software. I'd proposed to simulate a RC Circuit and it has be approuved by LUG members: My OOo document for participants at the booth in french: http:/chitlesh.funpic.de/fdls/fdls.odp http:/chitlesh.funpic.de/fdls/xcircuit.tar.bz2 In english: http://clunixchit.blogspot.com/2006/09/fedora-example-xcircuit-and-ngspice.… The tools which I tend to use are xcircuit, gresistor and ngspice. I've worked and packaged these scientific software in FE for this event. Thanks to my reviewer Mamuro, who did fairly a great job:) There are lots of similar scientific software and lots of methods to create/simulate a RC circuit. But since my LUG members are not all in the electronic field and our public varies between 4 to 18 years old with the teachers, I chose something rather simple. My lug members agreed to support me on this RC simulation and others will be demonstrating : gcompris genchemlad kgeographic kalzium all already in FE. Burned Fedora ISOs will be distributed for free at the booth, if asked. - 28 October - Open Source Day. - (La rentrée du libre) http://tux.u-strasbg.fr/rdl2006/accueil Finally the most attended event which was postponed thrice this year will be held on only one day instead of 3 consecutive days. (due to lack of sponsors). Yes, fedora will have a .org booth and with some fedora posters of LinuxTag2006 (given by Gerold and Floriant). We are expecting 1200 people that day. I've just ordered 150 DVDs an 30 tshirts. If needed, Ill burn ISOs at the booth for free. Till now, I'm alone at the booth, if any german ambassadors want to join me, they are welcomed. However I know other french ambassadors and DamienDurand will be busy with their own event that day. Sorry guys I can't be at both places at the same time Install Parties in Strasbourg, Back from holidays, the LUG members of Strasbourg are continuing their monthly install parties :) This month it will be this Wednesday 27 October as from 18h00 local time. http://tux.u-strasbg.fr/install-party/mensuelles ISOs will be burned at the cost of a virgin CD/DVD as decided by our LUG. That's it for now, If you are crossing Strasbourg during October, do ping me :) Chitlesh Goorah -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

Sorry for missing today's meeting
by Alex 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

My car broke down on the way home, from where I was going to attend the meeting, and it had to be towed, and I was stuck on the roadside and was dealing with all sorts of stuff... I don't have to tell you that I would have preferred to be in the meeting with you--but I guess it wasn't my choice tonight. Thanks, Alex
