Event Organizers' Resources
by Fabian Affolter 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

Hi all, At the FAD [1] in November JoergSimon told us some things about the EventBox [2]. I completely agreed with him that the "EventBox" is also a mindset of points. By the way, check out JoergSimon in one of the "sexy" ambassadors Polo shirt [3]. AlexMaier created a long time ago the Event Organizers' Resources [4]. But there was no more effort since then. I have started a rework of this page. If you have any suggestions, remarks, or what ever feel free to add it. Kind regards, Fabian [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD/FADEMEA2007 [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EventBox [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/PoloShirt [4] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/Organization

FOSDEM 08 FEDORA SPEAKERS
by Frederic Hornain 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Dear *, The Fedora speakers recruitment for FOSDEM 08 started few weeks ago and I still not have any candidate from Fedora/Red Hat community -except Pawel for a presentation of Fedora - So, in order to be fair and nice with our friend of CentOs and FOSDEM visitors, I would need proposals from you. If you can spread the words... You can register at the Fedora FOSDEM 08 wiki page. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/FOSDEM/FOSDEM2008 In addition, I have received a speaker proposition from someone outside of .Fedora community. For my part, I think it is not a bad idea to let one session from outside in oder to have other Fedora experiences returns What do you think about that ? Best Regards Frederic Hornain http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FredericHornain

Ambassadors Meeting EMEA - IRC Summary 2007-12-12
by Fabian Affolter 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

FAmSco The nomination period for a FAMSco seat was extended about one week due to lack of nominations. The deadline for a self-nomination was 12-09-2007. Nominations: AlejandroMoncada, FrancescoUgolini, JeffreyTadlock, JohnBabich, PabloBarrera, RodrigoPadula, SandroMathys, ThomasCanniot, and myself. Unfortunately there is no effort from APAC. The voting period will start soon. Please vote for your favorite candidate when the voting period has started. Ambassadors Membership 2007-12-11, 282 Ambassadors have been verified (signed CLA and joined 'ambassadors' group) How many of those 282 ambassadors are based in the EMEA region? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/CountryList Freemedia FreeMedia will remove this from future meetings because it's more associated to Distribution than the Ambassadors Program. Events Linux Solutions at Paris We are subscribed, we will have a booth Chemnitzer LinuxTage 2008 Who is willing to hep me in Chemnitz? JensKuehnel will not go alone! He have not ordered a booth. Want to help him there? Send him an Email NPO kanarip keeps his promises to translate "Gerold's version" into english and sent it to him for checking GeroldKa translated the "goales" into german and sent the letter to the financial department to check out if the goals are good enough for the german law to be confirmed as "allgemeinnützig" which is related to pay taxes or not -> the answer is still standing BartCouvreur ask for the statutes. Everybody will get the opportunity to see the translated version; but first we want to check out if THIS version will match with the law of the country in which we will found it; othwerwise it makes no sense to confrontate you with a version which is not the value on the stamp with which it is send. CLA has nothing to do with the NPO. The statutes only describe the how's, who's and what's of the organization itself. It sets rules for the organization (e.g. the executive board) to have general members meetings once a year, etc JeroenVanMeeuwen have a huge chunk translated and he is starting the last couple of notes, He hope to be able to send out a draft by the end of the week, otherwise it'll be during the weekend. Motion to move the item to the next meeting for another status update Vote on the statutes on FOSDEM 2008 and maybe election of the board there. Founding has to be a face-to-face meeting with the founder. A minimum of seven and out of this crowed the board must be elected there is no country limitaion where you found and which nationality the persons must be. The name will be Fedora EMEA -it has been agreed upon by mspevack It aligns with another NPO initiative JeroenVanMeeuwen is involved with in the USA, as well as with "Fedora Project" being the official project itself. Next meeting (so far) 2008-01-16 - 20.00 UTC
