FOSDEM video
by Francesco Ugolini 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

I think, as it's happened during the FudCon 2007, we have to film the FOSDEM (fedora related) speeches and booth activities. I don't have a cam, if someone of the attendees has it, it could be a good thing. Thanks to Mike McGrath, Max Spevack and Jonathan Steffan for the idea. Regards Francesco Ugolini -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FrancescoUgolini

Re: [Ambassadors] Second Life presence

________________ Messaggio originale ________________ Oggetto: Re: [Ambassadors] Second Life presence Autore: "Anand Capur" <anandcomputerphreak(a)gmail.com> Data: 15 febbraio 2007 19:1:54 We don't have an island yet, due to the fact it is around $2000. I've put in a request to FAMSCO to get money to open a store type thing in a popular center of SL. More info coming soon! $2000 to an island? From this project how many money and visibility can take the Fedora project? Can some one explain me the probably situation for the future? With this money we can send some copy of fedora to the people that request it,in the way that Canonical make with Ubuntu.I believe that is some expansive to spend $2000 for a game...

Pre-Fosdem: Centos/Fedora/RPM social event
by Chitlesh GOORAH 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

Hello there, Below are the updates concerning the pre-Fosdem social event: _Place :_ The bar is called '*Monk*' and is located on the St Catherine Place (Rue St Catherine 42) and it's located near '*La Bourse*' (5min walk from the *Grand Place in Brussels*). The easiest way is to take the metro up until '*St Catherine*'. * There are 2 googlemaps at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/FOSDEM2007#prefosdem It is a nice 'typical' bar near the center of Brussels where we can come together and have a nice drink before the official FOSDEM social event. _When :_ This friday 23/02/2007 at 14:00 to 20:00 As usual please update http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/FOSDEM2007#prefosdem if you plan to attend. If we are in excess in numbers we can therefore do the necessary arrangements . Cheers, Chitlesh Goorah ps: Has any belgium ambassador figure out where we can held our own "fedora social event" ? -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

Poll ?? No!!
by Chitlesh GOORAH 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Hello there, Many things bothered me lately and I'm quite sad how things turned up recently. I know I'm going to write a lot, please bear some time and read what I'm going to say. Thanks. #001: The recent poll. We are the fedora project. A project which has recently gained attention and respect for its _professional work and standards_. We already have a voting system - which can be used as polls too. - which has proved to be an excellent tool for the fedora infrastructure. - which is maintained by the fedora infrastructure team. - which provided quality results. Last time, I mentioned "a mentoring module" to the ambassador project. Why ? Because most of us don't know about the/many _internal_ fedora facilities provided to them. For example: the above voting system which hasn't been used. I wish that we all could spend our time on concrete and long term marketing projects which could benefit the Fedora Project itself, rather on breaking the facilities provided(I'll come to that later on). If you don't know what long term marketing projects I'm talking of - look for "Second Life" in your archives - the F7 release. Hay Fedora will not ship KDE on F7 !! Do you know about that ?? I'll leave it up to you to see how far is this true. #002: Unfair Poll. How many of you have voted for the poll without thinking about the implications that the merge may have on the project itself ? Or do your contributions for the fedora marketing world stop where the word "marketing" stops ? What I can see, it's the merge idea, came from FAMSCo. No attack. That's fine and it's good to see ideas popping. However, I see no indications on a wiki page - where the merge proposal has been brought to FAMSCo meetings/discussions . - where it explains (by the FAMSco member) the benefit of this idea/proposal. Example of what I was looking for as a proposal to Steering Committee: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SourceUrl Perhaps, those discussions were done on (closed) FAMSCo mailing lists, where no one else can read. Definitely, there is a reason for that. Now the implications that may have ?? I already impress some of my opinions before: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2007-February/msg0001… Maybe you should re-read it again. I don't see anywhere where it has described what mesures will be taken for: - CLA . (or perhaps no one does take CLA seriously ?? or possibly didn't understand _why_ fedora ambassadors need to sign it.) Ask yourself _why_ have you signed CLA, fedora ambassador? Let me tell you briefly: You represent fedora during events or wherever you want. Any of your contributions whether in the form of electronic, verbal, or written communication is sent to the Project, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the Project for the purpose of discussing or improving software or documentation of the Project, but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by you as "Not a Contribution." Any Contribution submitted by you to the Project shall be under the terms and conditions of this License, without any additional terms or conditions, unless you explicitly state otherwise in the submission. Now, what if anyone copies some texts from the mailing list (of a person who havent signed CLA) and paste it to the Fedora Wiki without asking for the personA ? This normally happens when summarizing long discussions from the ML on the wiki. Perhaps, that personA can file a legal case against fedora. This above paragraph should automatically make you see the importance of CLA signed by contributors. And perhaps you know that those have signed CLA are not only Fedora Ambassadors, but also fedora packagers, developers, artists.... Now, I don't see anywhere where it described - mesures or methods dealing with CLA issues after the merge? - whether we are strong for the merge or not ?? (don't take fedora core and fedora extras as examples, they have high level quality backbone for that) - why _THIS_ period of the release cycle is appropriate for such talks ?? or perhaps FAMSCo already have thoughts about how to market Fedora in different countries. If FAMSCo is working on none priority subject like the merge - which has no interest on improving - quality - marketing - which has no major benefit on the overall fedora project. (Yes, there are lots of other projects, not only fedora marketing and fedora ambassadors), I guess decisions like - FedoraEvents - Fedora Weekly Reports on the Fedora Wiki - solving DVDs problems in different parts of the world - marketing F7 - informing ambassadors about the benefit of the merge of FC and FE has already been solved and we are moving forward. If not, perhaps opening FAMSCo ML to Fedora Ambassadors, would benefit to the whole ambassador project of Fedora ??. Chitlesh -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

Poll: Do you agree to merge Marketing List with Ambassador List ?
by Claus Reheis 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Hi all! I followed the discussion on the list, the IRC and also had a word with fellow ambassadors about the merge with the marketing-list! To be honest I think I voted to quickly without taking a good look at the facts and the consequences of a merge... To make it clear, I do not like people who change their minds after they made a decision, but I have to admit I took that to easy and I would like to correct that: 1) Do you agree to merge Fedora Marketing List with Fedora Ambassadors List? -1 2) FOR AMBASSADORS LIST MEMBERS ONLY: Do you want that the Ambassadors List, if it will be not merged with Marketing List, will be open to all? -1 Thanks, Claus Reheis
