Summary from last nights Fedora NA Ambassadors meeting
by Scott McBrien 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hi all, We had an interesting discussion about stopping production of DVD media for distribution at events in NA last night. I've put it on the agenda for the next meeting so that we'd have some time to think about it, or propose alternative ideas. The reasons behind the thought: 1) At shows, the Live ISO is more usable to demonstrate Fedora 2) If someone wants the DVD, in NA, they can easily download it 3) Eliminating the media production on the install DVD would save money. So give it some thought and weigh in at the next meeting (Tuesday December 1, 2009). Also, as usual, below are the logs for the meeting: 02:00:30 <StabbyMc> #startmeeting 02:00:30 <zodbot> Meeting started Wed Nov 18 02:00:30 2009 UTC. The chair is StabbyMc.

What is that? 02:07:08 <StabbyMc> Southern California Linux Expo 02:07:30 <StabbyMc> spot went last year and said it was cool. 02:07:39 <dramsey> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SCaLE_8x_Event 02:07:43 <makfinsky> Ah, that would have been nice to attend. 02:07:44 <ke4qqq> SCaLE was awesome last year 02:08:37 <StabbyMc> lcafiero had it on the meeting agenda, hopefully he'll mosey in and can talk about it. 02:08:47 <StabbyMc> Until then, anyone else have events to discuss? 02:09:30 <VileGent> any fudcon news? 02:10:06 <inode0> it is in Toronto! 02:10:54 <makfinsky> I wish I was going. 02:11:02 <StabbyMc> Ok, so pressing on then ;-) 02:11:11 <StabbyMc> Budget? spevack? 02:11:22 <StabbyMc> not here. 02:11:41 <StabbyMc> #topic Task List Review 02:11:57 <StabbyMc> #info Fedora button downs 02:12:11 <StabbyMc> I got the approved proof of the fedora button downs. 02:12:20 <StabbyMc> I should get the shirt this week. 02:12:39 <makfinsky> Rocking, count me in for a shirt, maybe two. 02:12:55 <StabbyMc> I'll take pictures once I've got it, and we can coordinate an order. 02:13:42 <StabbyMc> They're going to be white, and not specifically tagged as "ambassador" swag, so if any one in the community wants one, they can. 02:13:42 <dramsey> +1 for shirts! 02:13:43 <kaio> hi I am from APAC, but nice to meet you guy 02:13:47 <kaio> s 02:14:34 <StabbyMc> hey kaio: we're having the NA Ambassadors meeting. 02:15:05 <StabbyMc> I was hoping to have the pics of the shirt tonight, but no. 02:15:10 <StabbyMc> But this week. 02:15:14 <inode0> there seem to be some general swag shortages ... 02:15:29 <StabbyMc> #info swag shortages 02:15:55 <inode0> F12 media is ordered and should arrive end of month 02:16:09 <ke4qqq> expected wasn't it?? with the wind down of F11 and the event year, right? 02:16:09 <inode0> but aside from pens and tattoos things are lean 02:16:10 <kaio> StabbyMc☺ yeah thats why wanna say hello from another side of the globe 02:16:24 <StabbyMc> inode0: that's shipped to the regional heads? 02:16:54 <inode0> some of it, some will go to FUDCon and Canada this time 02:17:01 <StabbyMc> media that is. 02:17:08 <inode0> right 02:17:14 <crossbytes> so how much? is there a price break for a certain #? how do "we" get them do we supply them to "community" as ambassadors .. the shirts.. 02:17:41 <inode0> buy one or more if you want them I think will be the arrangement, just like polos 02:17:44 <StabbyMc> crossbytes: Not really a break on the number unless we're ordering upwards of 50 02:17:56 <VileGent> 300 02:17:58 <StabbyMc> crossbytes: they're $30 + shipping. 02:18:13 <inode0> FAmNA isn't buying them, individuals are 02:18:19 <StabbyMc> And an additional $2.00 per X you want over XL. 02:18:21 <ke4qqq> and that's about what the polos are iirc 02:19:15 <StabbyMc> I'll send out an e-mail to Ambassador list once I've got it in my hands. 02:19:22 <inode0> my concern in raising this topic is that if people out of swag want more someone needs to know what? 02:19:23 <dramsey> FYI, I have vendor who does a carry bag and hats, if you are interested to consider. Also, I have gotten other shirts (fleece) from, too. 02:19:32 <nb> is this famna meeting? 02:19:34 * nb is here if it is 02:19:46 <StabbyMc> nb: indeed it is. 02:20:01 <ke4qqq> dramsey: if you are willing to do the work of getting things lined up, bring us a proposal 02:20:15 * inode0 always wants hats 02:20:18 <ke4qqq> me too 02:20:24 * lcameron likes hats too 02:20:24 <dramsey> Understood ---> 8-) 02:20:35 * StabbyMc feels that way about fleece. 02:21:01 <StabbyMc> inode0: so wha's up with the swag shortage. 02:21:08 <dnhodgson> i would like to buy some touques for up here in Canada 02:21:12 <StabbyMc> Do we want to just order replacements of what we've got? 02:21:25 <ke4qqq> touqes? 02:21:35 <dnhodgson> winter hat 02:22:06 <inode0> I keep hearing people are basically out of stuff, if they don't want to say that here or what they want then we can move on 02:22:22 <ke4qqq> inode0: are you not out? 02:22:24 <inode0> Must not be an important problem 02:22:47 <ke4qqq> I am out of case badges and shirts, and pretty low on media 02:22:50 <inode0> I'm not out, but I'm low enough I can't send stuff to everyone 02:22:57 <ke4qqq> but that's about it 02:23:22 <ke4qqq> dnhodgson: ohhhh a watch cap...... 02:24:23 <crossbytes> The only thing I am out of right now is shirts...but I am waiting for the F12 media Larry was going to talk to me about OSCON.. since it is going to be back in Portland. 02:27:02 <StabbyMc> The only other thing I have outstanding on my task list is window clings, and I'll start being active on it again after shirts get handled. 02:27:21 <StabbyMc> I for one would like to see a re-order of case badges. 02:27:34 <StabbyMc> And, although they're expensive, splatter tees. 02:27:58 <ke4qqq> +1 for case badges and splatter 02:28:21 <dramsey> +1 02:28:27 <inode0> ok, that will be more than 3k in the same quantities, we need spevack to tell us if that is even remotely possible 02:28:28 <laubersm> +1 for case badges 02:28:36 <VileGent> how are we on the buttons as well 02:28:44 <VileGent> +1 case badges 02:29:00 <crossbytes> +1 for case badges and splatter shirts... 02:29:03 <VileGent> and do we want more buttons 02:29:08 <ke4qqq> inode0: is it cheaper for us to increase quantity 02:29:13 <Ac-town> +1 02:29:16 <ke4qqq> I mean cheaper as in per unit 02:29:41 <inode0> with about a 5k budget and media + FUDCon I'm thinking 3k more for swag is maybe not happening 02:30:02 <StabbyMc> If I had to choose, I'd say casebadges are the priority, but that's me. 02:30:17 <ke4qqq> it might happen - depends on the other regions and their spending 02:30:20 <inode0> ke4qqq: the badges are quite cheap once you hit a certain point around 1k 02:30:37 <ke4qqq> $1k or 1k in quantity 02:30:46 <ke4qqq> how many did we order last time? 02:30:47 <VileGent> and we proable dont have a setup charge again 02:31:07 <inode0> no, they cost about $1 each for the first 1000 and then they get cheaper, closer to 10 cents each iirc 02:31:46 <inode0> I just remember the bill was around 1400 02:32:02 <inode0> so I'm guessing it was 3k or 4k maybe 02:32:33 <ke4qqq> k 02:33:13 <ke4qqq> inode0: I thought we had another 8k come dec 1 02:33:19 <ke4qqq> and 3k was going to media 02:33:21 <ke4qqq> iirc 02:33:40 <inode0> I'm not clear on the budget to be honest 02:33:50 <ke4qqq> and the budget page still shows 6k available globally 02:33:56 <ke4qqq> but we'd have to spend it 'real soon' 02:34:03 <ke4qqq> spevack: ping 02:34:13 <StabbyMc> he's not in chan. 02:34:33 <inode0> not talking anyway :) 02:34:42 <nb> about how much do tees cost? 02:34:51 <inode0> 300 cost about 1800 02:35:01 <ke4qqq> nb: depends - splatter are a bit over 5 each 02:35:08 <ke4qqq> the previous design was ~3 each 02:35:08 <inode0> or we can go back to the white ones for something more like 1300 02:35:46 * nb thinks +1 to both, or if that isn't practical +1 to case badges 02:36:21 <inode0> I sort of think we should go back to the cheaper t-shirts and get more of them if we have 1800 for them again 02:36:52 <nb> what were they like? 02:37:03 <ke4qqq> perhaps we should see if ianweller or $designperson wants to design a new shirt 02:37:16 <ke4qqq> nb: just a fedora logo on white 02:37:20 <nb> oh ok 02:37:24 <nb> color or black & white? 02:37:27 <inode0> but both sides had something 02:37:28 <ke4qqq> color 02:37:36 <nb> that sounds like a good idea too 02:37:40 <nb> if its that much difference in price 02:37:54 <inode0> the extra colors add a lot of expense 02:38:05 <ke4qqq> yes, and it depends on which version of the shirt it was 02:40:11 <VileGent> inode +1 02:40:24 * inode0 would like to see us get stickers but isn't volunteering 02:40:40 <ke4qqq> does someone want to volunteer to work on stickers??? 02:41:01 <StabbyMc> inode0: I've got it on my list, but if someone wants things to move faster, they can step up :-) 02:41:02 <crossbytes> R we going to go to live DVD for F13? was there a decision made on the "ratio" of live to install media? 32-bit : 64-bit? sorry did not mean to interrupt about the tee's.. 02:41:12 <VileGent> i have looked but they were to dang expensive 02:41:32 * nb likes the idea of live dvd 02:41:44 <inode0> I don't know about F13 02:42:08 <inode0> for F12 we ordered 3k live, 1.5k 32-bit DVD, and 1k 64-bit DVD 02:42:26 <inode0> all of the live is 32-bit 02:42:36 <inode0> and gnome 02:43:07 <ke4qqq> inode0: really??? /me wonders why I have so many DVDs left 02:43:18 <ke4qqq> seems like I got 600 of each 02:43:19 <inode0> we ordered more last time 02:43:27 <ke4qqq> ahhh /me gets it 02:43:41 <inode0> trying to get closer each time to what we actually need 02:43:50 <ke4qqq> yeah and that sounds about right 02:44:17 <VileGent> ke4qqq also for f13 we hit the summer-fall big event time as well 02:44:43 * ke4qqq wonders if we want to ever consider a kde livecd 02:45:01 <Ac-town> ^ +1 02:45:09 <crossbytes> oh btw we ran into a problem at linuxcon all of the LIVE CD's were Install DVD's that were in the Event box...so we had no live cd's to give out.. 02:45:10 <makfinsky> +1 kde livecd 02:45:33 <crossbytes> the sleve said Live but they were Install DVD's 02:45:53 <ke4qqq> crossbytes: both sides said Live? 02:46:00 <dramsey> I am routing my users over to I will load your USB key with the media during my events, too as food for thought... :) 02:46:06 <crossbytes> Yes .. 02:46:19 <dramsey> +1 for media 02:47:11 <ke4qqq> anyone know if flash media has dropped in price enough to be reasonable? 02:47:27 <StabbyMc> ke4qqq: we looked like a month ago, and no. 02:47:51 <ke4qqq> ughhh ohh well 02:49:09 <inode0> honestly I want to consider only live 02:49:26 <dramsey> +1 for live, too. 02:49:44 <inode0> almost no one in NA takes a DVD back to their room and installs from it and almost everyone in NA can download it 02:50:14 <inode0> with live media they can and do go back and try it out right then 02:50:28 <dnhodgson> +1 to that 02:51:02 <dramsey> Very logical indeed. +1 for the inode's insight and wisdom 02:51:18 <ke4qqq> interesting thought 02:51:21 <makfinsky> +1 to the insightful one. 02:51:26 <ke4qqq> does that mean we should move to livedvd? 02:51:38 <inode0> I think that is likely to happen 02:52:02 <inode0> it may be a moot point if we only produce live dvds in the future 02:52:20 * ke4qqq wishes anaconda on the livecd offered more options, then I'd fully support the move away from install dvds 02:52:23 <inode0> dropping CDs seems to be inevitable 02:52:51 <ke4qqq> in NA I agree, but not sure about other regions 02:52:55 <StabbyMc> Maybe we could have the isolinux bootloader offer to boot live or go into the installer? 02:53:55 <ke4qqq> yeah - though we'd prolly need to talk to fesco about such things, but should be accomplishable 02:54:37 * laubersm likes that idea... 02:54:57 <nb> +1 to Live DVD 02:55:01 <dramsey> In turn, this nudges the person in order to do what they could do...which is download install content themselves...empowering the person. 02:55:03 <makfinsky> That's a pretty easy change to isolinux. 02:55:08 <dramsey> +1 to idea. 02:55:13 <LAWeber> I hate to see the loss of CD's. Lot's of people are willing to try new OS on old equipment 02:55:20 <nb> LAWeber, true 02:55:33 <nb> although, if we ant to keep livecd, i like the idea of booting into an installer 02:55:34 <crossbytes> Keep an eye on lzma + squashfs for 2.6.33. (Phillip has indicated this will happen.) quoting from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Games_Spin this is needed to realy do Live DVD's 02:55:58 <inode0> this will be a board/fesco thing to decide - I'm hearing it discussed as a future path though 02:56:00 <nb> or if the installer won't download additional packages, maybe have the installer either boot into livecd or into netinstall 02:56:41 <StabbyMc> #topic open floor 02:56:53 <StabbyMc> We've kind of already moved there, so I figured I'd make it official. 02:56:58 <inode0> the live CDs are a bit too restricted to fairly show the power of Fedora as it is 02:57:26 <VileGent> if the livedvd gives choice then i am for it 02:57:29 <inode0> what crap is this? no open office even? 02:57:33 <dramsey> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Toronto_2009 my best to you all for this event in just over two weeks, Toronto, Ontario December 5th-7th, 2009. 8-) 02:58:05 <dramsey> +1 to choice and freedom! 02:59:30 <StabbyMc> So what/who is going to take the next step and talk to FESCo? 03:00:25 <inode0> not us :) 03:00:47 <StabbyMc> So why are we talking about it? 03:00:55 <inode0> we drifted 03:01:07 <StabbyMc> What? Damn it, I'm a bad moderator. 03:01:17 <StabbyMc> Ok, so other open floor items? 03:01:19 <inode0> for F13 I'd like us to consider only producing live media, whether those are CDs or DVDs 03:01:48 <inode0> if we only produce live media it would be easy to add KDE to the mix 03:01:54 <inode0> now it is too expensive 03:01:57 <crossbytes> I am sorry my fault.. This has been brought up on the dev list.. 03:02:48 <inode0> it is no problem 03:02:51 <ke4qqq> so foreseeing potential issues down the road...... 03:03:33 <ke4qqq> how do we handle the situation where - $exoticDE wants us to do their live media 03:03:37 <ke4qqq> since aside from the 'default' spin, the rest are equals. 03:03:39 * ke4qqq ducks now 03:03:50 <inode0> we can say it costs too much unless there is demand 03:04:15 <inode0> we can say that about KDE too, I have zero people asking me for KDE based media 03:04:44 <ke4qqq> maybe that's because we have only ever offered Gnome 03:04:53 <inode0> but I'm not against trying it once and finding out if it is just as popular 03:05:00 <laubersm> do we have a "other spins are available at" footnote on the covers? 03:05:01 <ke4qqq> schroedingers cat type thing 03:05:14 <inode0> people on show floors don't know what we have 03:05:14 <ke4qqq> laubersm: we don't now 03:05:25 <inode0> and they don't ask for KDE media in my experience 03:05:47 <ke4qqq> so part of the KDE opportunity I see is this: 03:06:02 <ke4qqq> 1. We typically lead with KDE releases - we release the latest first 03:06:19 <ke4qqq> 2. That's a good way for KDE to show off (and us too) 03:06:48 <ke4qqq> We'd be helping the KDE community, and hopefully garnering some good will (and additional contributors) in the process 03:07:17 <inode0> as I said I am in favor of trying KDE live media, we just can't do 6 different kinds of media so something else has to go 03:07:49 <ke4qqq> true 03:07:54 <inode0> I think install DVDs should go for unrelated reasons creating an opportunity 03:09:21 <inode0> I will note that on the FreeMedia front in NA almost all requests are for 32-bit install DVDs 03:10:12 <StabbyMc> Not that I want to discourage the discussion, but it's getting late. Maybe we can put some brainstorm ideas on the agenda for next meeting? I think if we have some time to think about it we might come up with some different ideas. inode0 would you be opposed to putting your thoughts on the agenda? 03:10:14 <dramsey> +1 to choice, experience, freedom, and KDE. I am a Gnome system person. ;) 03:10:26 <ke4qqq> +1 StabbyMc 03:10:53 <makfinsky> +1 StabbyMc 03:10:53 <crossbytes> +1 StabbyMc 03:10:57 <dramsey> +1 03:10:59 <Ac-town> +1 03:11:00 * inode0 would be less opposed to you putting his thoughts on the agenda :) 03:11:14 <StabbyMc> inode0: I don't have your thoughts. 03:11:18 <StabbyMc> ;-) 03:11:24 <inode0> I just put them into the record 03:11:36 <dramsey> May be a vulcan mindmeld is needed with Paul Frields and others,, in order to help promote your live DVD initiatives? 03:11:37 <lcameron> +1 03:11:39 <StabbyMc> throw me a frickin' bone ;-) 03:12:24 <StabbyMc> inode0: you and I can talk about it tomorrow sometime; so I'm sure to get all the high points. 03:12:33 <StabbyMc> Ok, other open floor items? 03:12:55 <ke4qqq> btw StabbyMc thanks for showing up at the mythtv event - it was very good representation for Mr. Ladds to have looked up my email and said something about it. 03:13:33 <StabbyMc> ke4qqq: No problem. Preston is a good guy, also in ale. I've been trying to get there more often to represent. 03:14:21 <StabbyMc> ke4qqq; thanks for the kudos :-) 03:14:29 <StabbyMc> Ok, so I'm going to call the meeting. 03:14:36 <StabbyMc> Unless someone stops me. 03:14:42 <StabbyMc> 5 03:14:45 <dramsey> Thank you StabbyMc for being the moderator. 03:14:48 <makfinsky> Thx StabbyMc for hosting. 03:14:52 <StabbyMc> 4 03:15:02 <StabbyMc> 3 03:15:08 <StabbyMc> 2 03:15:14 <StabbyMc> 1 03:15:16 <StabbyMc> #endmeeting

F12 Release Events: reminder before the GA
by Francesco Ugolini 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

I want to remember, if you are planning to organize a Release Event and you haven't added it yet, to visit http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_release_events . It's really important to make all these events visible, in order to have all of them in a single page. (The page will/could be added in public pages and press releases) BTW, if you are still undecided or will think about it later this month, feel free to add the event in the same page too. Regards Francesco Ugolini

What questions would you like to ask the Candidates for the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAMSCO?
by Thorsten Leemhuis 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hi! As you may have heard already, several seats of the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAMSCO are up for election soon(¹). Right now we are in the nomination period, which will be followed by a "Candidate Questionnaire." That means we'll give candidates a list of questions to answer by private mail within one week after the nomination period closed; the results will be publish soon after that to make sure they are available to the public before the Town Hall meetings on IRC happen. Candidates may choose to answer (or not) those questions as they see fit. Voters can use the answers to get an impression of what the candidate think or plan to do while serving for the committees they are nominated for. That should help to get a interesting discussion running during the IRC Town Hall meetings; furthermore, those people that can't or don't want to participate in the IRC meetings can use the answers to make a more informed vote. Hence we need to prepare a few good questions that we can send to the candidates once the nomination period ends. And that's where I need *your help* now: If you have one or more questions you'd like to send to the candidates simply go and add them to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections/F13_Questionnaire It just takes a minute or two, so best to do it right now -- otherwise you might get distracted and forget about it. ;-) I'll take care of the remaining work to review, sort, and clean up the questions(²); after that I'll send them to the candidates soon after the nomination period ended. Hence, I need your question suggestions by around the 15th November 17:00 UTC latest to get a chance to prepare everything in time. So please go to the wiki now and add at least one hard question! The answers will help Fedora contributors to chose whom to vote for! Thanks in advance for your help . CU knurd (¹) If you haven't read about it yet see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections for details. (²) If you want to get involved or review the questions before I send them please drop me a line and I'll try to get that arranged; maybe we can arrange a quick, informal IRC meeting on Sunday evening if there is interest
