by Luca Foppiano 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hi all, I'm sorry for delay, I know now may be late for ask...but I want to try :) I'd like to come to linux tag, but cause some problems and events in this period, I delayed my decision... There is still possibility to get a place to Linux Tag with fedora group? :) thanks and sorry :) Luca -- Today is Sweetmorn, the 63rd day of Discord in the YOLD 3174 For adult education nothing beats children.

A brief review of the past months
by Francesco Ugolini 16 May '08

16 May '08

I'm really happy and proud to see how many events we have covered and how many people joined the project in the first part of this year. I invite all people to take a look at the (near to be) past fiscal quarter's events [1] and read the events' reports posted in the planet [2] and in the Ambassadors M-L archive [3]. We are in the right way and, I'm sure, we can grow more in the next months. FAmSCo is working promoting Ambassadors activities (see F9 Release Parties [4] and the other activities in this way [5]) and trying to simplify its structure [5], moreover it is trying to be a bridge between people, to be an ear and a helpfull hand. I want to thank all the Ambassadors and Contributors who are spending their time making a dream a reality, who are talking with people and are spreading Fedora values. Hoping a great future for Fedora and all Fedora Ambassadors Regards Francesco Ugolini [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents?action=show&redirect=Events#head… [2] http://planet.fedoraproject.org/ [3] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/ [4] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ReleaseEvents and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ [5] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Agenda

LINdependence 2008 - no Fedora?
by Valent Turkovic 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hi, I heard about LINdependence 2008 on a podcast [1] and now lots of distributions are jumping in to help out but there was no mention of Fedora. Are there any Ambassadors that are willing to help in this project? It has to be someone who is closer to the location (Felton, California) of someone willing to travel a bit. If I get the travel expenses I'll go :) But it is obviously better that someone local goes there. More info about this can be heard and read here: http://faq.fixedbylinux.com-a.googlepages.com/lindependence2008-bringinglin… http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/02/linependence-2008.html [1] http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheLinuxLinkTechShowMp3Feed/~3/267434120/tll… Cheers, Valent. -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

FrOSCon 2008, anyone?
by Sandro "red" Mathys 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi * FrOSCon is taking place in Germany very soon-ish [1] and Fedora is not there (yet?). Some facts: - We have no event-owner - We have no event-staff - Max Spevack might give a talk there - The deadline to apply for a booth is 2008-05-18 (this Sunday) I think it'd be a good expo/conference to go to but I couldn't (and wouldn't want to) do it alone. We'd need to be 3 persons at least, I'd say. And I'd like someone local to take the event ownership. So, the big question is: Who is participating? Regards red / SandroMathys [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents#head-856eb4616261225a61112db1c09…

Debian Bug Leaves Private SSL/SSH Keys Guessable
by Elio Tondo 15 May '08

15 May '08

Sorry if this is somewhat off-topic, but it's good to know that Fedora is immune from this bug... "This problem not only affects Debian, but also all its derivatives, such as Ubuntu." http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/13/1533212&from=rss

New member - Introduction
by GRAMS, CHRISTIAN 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hello to all ambassadors! My name is Christian Grams and i live in Germany (Niedersachsen - Gifhorn). I work as an IT-consultant in the main area of IT-security. Furthermore I am certified (I dare to say it...) with Microsoft (MCSA/MCSE/MCT) and of course Linux certified (LPIC1/2). I am working on my RHCE/RHCT certification. Due to my experience in the it-security sector, doing audits for public sector and workshops/trainings in this area I am highly interested in this area since Linux is the main platform used for security checks / tools. As to my work as an ambassador, I do not have any expectations as of yet. I am hoping to see many of you during the LinuxTag 2008 in Berlin - which I will attend as a partner of the LPI Central Europe organization. I will definitely come by to the Fedora stand.

However, you should discuss these topics on fedora-list, and not the lists intended for discussion of infrastructure, marketing, and translation. Thanks! :-) -- Paul W.
