I Love LUCI -- Linux UC Irvine in April 2009
by Larry Cafiero 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

Hi, all -- Of particular interest to North American folks: Over the past couple of weeks Joseph Smidt and I have discussed an event to be held at the University of California Irvine in the spring. Originally, I was going to give a mere presentation at UCI, but after lengthy discussions, it has grown into something larger. What Joseph has come up with is Linux UC Irvine -- LUCI -- an event which will take place in April of this year. LUCI serves as an introduction of Linux to the students and faculty of the university, as well as serving as a basis for starting a Linux Users Group on campus and, as a long-range goal, holding twice-a-year Linux festivals every year on campus. While the format for this inaugural event needs to be hashed out -- I'm imagining a presentation along with demonstrations of Fedora would be a main ingredient of the event -- and other logistical facets need to be addressed, I wanted to make everyone aware of this event and ask anyone in the Southern California area (as well as anyone else who might be interested) who wants to participate to contact either Joseph or me. The wiki for this event is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LUCI Thanks, Joseph, for carrying the ball on this project and I'm hoping others will join up. This project, of course, is in the planning stages, and Joseph and I can answer any questions (and, Joseph, if I missed anything, feel free to jump in here). Larry Cafiero

We'll be working on the User Guide for F10 and Packaging of Fonts during the day. A full schedule can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Activity_Day_at_SCaLE_7x If you are interested, live near Southern California (even if it's a few hours drive, like Las Vegas), come on down and participate for the day. And hey, why not stay for the rest of SCaLE :) Cheers, Clint

29 01 2009 FAMSCO Meeting report
by Thomas Canniot 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hello and welcome to this third FAMSCO weekly meeting summary. The latest meeting was hold on the 29th January 2009 on #fedora-meeting Attendees: Francesco Fugolini Joerg Simon Susmit Shannigrahi Thomas Canniot David Nalley Regreted attendees: Rodrigo Padula Max Spevack Francesco starts by announcing the meeting agenda : 1) Budget 2) Tasks status 1) Budget As Max was unfortunately not attending this already incredible meeting, the budget topic was postponed until the force may be with him again. 2) Tasks status ## Mentorship Kital has sent a mail to contact mentors on their mailing list and is planning a stupendous meeting with them soon. ## Trac system Susmit explains the trac system works in a gorgeous manner and is waiting for complete usability from FAMSCo and ambassadors. ## Mailing list management Kital and Francesco agreed that FAMSCo list has to be managed in a smarter way. Some members are in the list for organization workflow improvement purposes and a wiki page should be created to know « who's in and who's out ». ## Release events Francesco will soon get in contact with Susmit to discuss about release events organization and plannings so as to improve Release event organization and help organizers as much as possible, including with budget. ## Marketing relations status Francesco suggested that Release Events and marketing relationship could be tasks to handled in parallels, and occasion to strengthen links with Marketing people. ## French Ambassadors Organization Thomas pointed out that a first official contact was made the day before with Tunisian and Morocco Ambassadors to invite them to join Solutions Linux event at the end of March. Positive answers were received so far and we are letting them time to get organized to come in France. ## Company contact in East European countries (Romania - Hungary) Kital has contacted Hungarian University and Romanian Exhibitors and invited regional Fedora People (including the outstandingly famous Nicu) to explain them how their companies could benefit from getting involved in Fedora (EPEL, Sponsoring ...). Francesco added that including Marketing on this topic as well could help FAMSCo going farther in this tremendous task. The fact is that there are few opportunities to organize events there with community members, however events are made for professional purposes, and Fedora has to be there as well. Kital is trying to find topics to attract them inside the Fedora community. And then there was silence. Francesco rises his finger in the air, and decided He should adjourned the meeting. Thanks for reading. Your Dear FAmSCo

Looking toward SCaLE, and looking further forward
by Larry Cafiero 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hi, all -- I just wanted to touch base with North American ambassadors regarding the Fedora Activity Day at the Southern California Linux Expo on Feb. 20, 2009, as well as to put out on the list on a couple of potential FADs coming up in next several months. First things first: SCaLE. Here's the wiki page for FAD SCaLE: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Activity_Day_at_SCaLE_7x and we're still looking for people to participate in the FAD event on Friday. We'll probably extend the hours into the evening, so those who may not be able to make it during the day could make it on Friday evening. Plus, on a side note, I've talked with Joe Smith, who is sort of the de facto head of the Ubuntu Local Community (LoCo) in California, and since they're having a Bug Jam over the weekend, we agreed to post each other's events on our lists in order to share brainpower, so those who are working on items on Friday are welcome to help out over the weekend at the Bug Jam. More on FAD to follow, but if you live in the West (or anywhere) and find you can make it to L.A., come on down. The booth at SCaLE: We're still looking for people to staff the booth at SCaLE. Clint Savage has a presentation at SCaLE as well (and hopefully he can tell us more about it. Clint?), so his time at the booth may be limited. I will be there for as long as necessary, but there's always more fun in numbers, so again if you're in the neighborhood -- okay, if you're in the same country or same hemisphere -- and want to come, you get a free pass to the event and the satisfaction of knowing you helped Fedora. What more in life is there? Looking further forward: We have the possibility of holding FADs at LinuxFest Northwest in Bellingham, Wash., and at OSCON, which this year is in San Jose, Calif. (and not Portland, as in years past). While I don't mind doing the groundwork etc., for LFNW, I am hoping someone closer to Bellingham (just north of Seattle, close to the Canadian border and Vancouver, BC) might want to take the reins. If not, that's fine. I can do it from the Central California coast. With OSCON almost within walking distance (with a good tail wind and a few packs of trail mix), I don't mind handling OSCON. That essentially covers the West Coast -- are there any other events we can hold FADs at, and more importantly, who wants to take the reins on these events? Larry Cafiero

Introduction to Fedora 10 : Fedora beginners Guide
by Angel 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Fedora 10, codename Cambridge released in 25 November, 2008. Here in this tutorial, I have tried to cover everything most easiest way possible. This tutorial specially for the users who want to switch to Fedora from other distros (or even Windows) or who want to try something new beside Ubuntu (I myself think, Ubuntu is boring). Details here: http://angel.linux.org.bd/2009/01/29/introduction-to-fedora-10/ Feedback is welcome. -- Angel GPG key: 0x34001F46 Bangladesh Linux Users Alliance Fedora Ambassador Bangladesh http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Angel Fedora -- Freedom² and rapid innovation
