Merging Fedora-Ambassadors-List and Fedora-Marketing-List
by Thomas Chung 11 Feb '07

11 Feb '07

There have been several discussions on merging Fedora-Ambassadors-List and Fedora-Marketing-List. Since there are two groups with two different opinions on which list should be eliminated and which list should be survived, I would like to propose a new Fedora Mailing List with a new name which everyone can agree. Based on comparing other distros mailing lists and ours and some comments made in the past, I would like to propose "Fedora-Advocates-List" * http://lists.debian.org/completeindex.html * https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ * http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_Lists * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate * http://www.redhat.com/magazine/018apr06/departments/red_hat_speaks/ * http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-October/msg00069.… Please tell us your feedback and opinion and FAMSco will put this on a vote two weeks from today. Regards. -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung

The local websites should be handled by local Fedora people, most likely Ambassadors. Again, this is the action plan we've seen in Brazil and proved feasible: 1) 3 or more local Ambassadors initial gathering 2) local Ambassadors list creation 3) agreement on local Fedora activities 4) local Fedora website creation 5) local sub-projects representation i.e. free media distro, native lang documentation, translation, events, etc 6) website maintenance 7) new Ambassadors joining 8) ....

[Fwd: Fedora & openSUSE meeting / cooperation ?]
by Chitlesh GOORAH 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hello fedora people :) Well I'm forwarding this mail to this mailing list, in search for concrete opinions about cooperation between fedora and opensuse from the Fedora Engineering Team or Fedora Ambassadors. Suggestions are welcome, however flame wars aren't :) I've already accepted at least the meeting :) regards, Chitlesh Goorah ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Adrian Schröter <hidden> To: Chitlesh GOORAH <hidden> Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 10:03:46 +0100 Subject: Fedora & openSUSE meeting / cooperation ? Hello Chitlesh, I have heard that Fedora will be also on the FOSDEM 2007 like openSUSE is. What do you think when we do a meeting there, either in small or large group, to discuss ways and possibilities how we can cooperate ? I do see fields like a common customer hardware database or our openSUSE build service, which does support Fedora builds as well as discussion points. But there are for sure more fields where we could maybe cooperate in a way which gives us a win-win situation. Do you have interest in such a discussion ? bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter Technical Project Manager for openSUSE project SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

Fedora website for newbies
by Frederic Hornain 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Dear *, I would just like to notify you the good job that Ubuntu community is doing again and again. Ok, it is true that the Fedora wiki site is usefull. However it is usefull mostly for Fedora people not for newbies. Thinks as a newbie or simple visitor and ask you what you would think if you would go to the fedoraproject web site in order to retreive the basics. Look a little bit on what ubuntu community is doing, obviously they have kept their wiki but they have also created simple websites which are specific to a country in order to be closer to people of that area and who are interesting to know a little bit more what is ubuntu or to install it. Thinks again as a newbie or simple visitor and ask you the question if you will trust a community which is situated far away or a community which is closer. This is an example of what is done by Ubuntu in Belgium http://ubuntu-be.org and i wondering what Fedora is doing The goal here is not to blame Fedora community, you are doing great job. :) No, the goal here is to be reactive ! Tell me what you think about it. Best Regards Fred
