Re: Central PA Open Source Conference

Is there a US Ambassador or community member near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who would be interested in presenting at the Central PA Open Source Conference on October 19th? http://www.cposc.org/ I can't do this one, because I'll be at a conference the weekend before and one the weekend after. -- Paul W.

That's something I should have done, Jeffrey -- thank you for correcting my oversight! :-) I have the same reasons behind not being able to do this one. We can definitely use more than one attendee, so if anyone would like to back up the illustrious Mr. Pepple, that would be great. -- Paul W.

Let me introduce myself
by "G" 10 May '08

10 May '08

Hi This is Balaji from India . I reside in chennai and i work for an TeleCom Company as a Software developer. I am happy to be part of the Fedora Ambassadors team and i look forward to extend my contributions more to the fedora project. I am already part of the Bug Triagging team and test packages from the bodhi repository and give feedback to the developers.We use Fedora in our company/projects to a great extent. Now that i ve become an official member of the Ambassadors team i would like to help in expanding the fedora user base and the contributor base. Things which i feel could be done to kick off my contribution: 1.There are lot of people whom i know who are new to Linux and i help them setting up fedora in their boxes/laptops . I ve been doing that and would continue to do that. 2. There are tech savy people whom i know are interested in being part of big open source projects but are not in a position to start contributing to the projects. I feel this would be a great opportunity to pull in those people to be part of the Contributors team 3. As mentioned above there are lot of people who use fedora in my place of work and hence would like to act as a funnel between those people and the fedora community to bring in their ideas and suggestions that would help us in improving the experience. I would appreciate any sugestions on the above points :) Look forward for this exciting journey. Cheers, Balaji

If you would like to help at this event add yourself to this page [2]. Kind regards, Fabian [1] http://openexpo.ch/ [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/OpenExpo/OpenExpo2008_Zurich

Using consistent URLs
by Paul W. Frields 07 May '08

07 May '08

One of the issues that we talked about at today's "release readiness" meeting -- made up of reps from many subprojects in Fedora -- the issue of using consistent URLs came up. If we can settle on URLs that can cross releases, and use them consistently for any public communication, it's easier for us to (1) provide a good user experience through superior Web server administration, (2) track on metrics of user visits, and (3) create unified marketing materials. In our press releases, stories for digg, Slashdot, and anywhere else people might see them, let's make sure we are using these URLs: To get Fedora: --> http://get.fedoraproject.org/ To join Fedora: --> http://join.fedoraproject.org/ To read Release Notes: --> http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes --> http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ (can be shortened if needed) -- Paul W.
