Dear fellow Ambassadors and Greek Fedorians! Yesterday we held in Athens our Fedora 12 Release Party with much success! Many people showed up to learn about our Constantine and Fedora Project in general :) Anastasis and me gave a presentation on Fedora Project and Fedora 12 (can be found here [1]) and afterwards we did some hands-on testing on network sharing, virtualization enhancements, Moblin platform and other hints on support! We even had a Fedora-Birthday-Cake :) Many swag were given out and as always Live-USB sticks were made! Check out the photo album from the event here [2] (from Thalia) Many thanks to my fellow organizers (Anastasis, Thalia and Pantelis) and to everyone else who attended! ~π [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F12_Athens [2] http://picasaweb.google.gr/saliyath/Fedora12AthensReleaseParty -- Pierros Papadeas PGP key: 0x6130DBF8 http://pierros.papadeas.gr pierros(a)papadeas.gr liknus @ GRnet , Freenode

Fedora 12 Release Party - Caracas
by María Leandro 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

Hello Ambassadors! Yesterday we had the Fedora 12 Release Party in Caracas. We had near 30 people attending to the hacklab that we made with a small design and RPM package workshop. Also, several ambassadors came and help with the attendees. Also, Guillermo Gomex (gomix) made the official presentation of RPMDEV; which is a RPM packagers incubator. We give several Live CD with stickers and tattoos and after the release, we all have a great lunch. I can say that we have several goals. First, we were expecting near 15 people, but we have almost 30 person. Also some ambassadors who had a time inactive came to join us again, and we plan to have every 2 month a fedora hacklab, to teach people to be productive using fedora and encourage them to join the team helping fedora, not only using it. Also, all pc's were running a live cd, because I couldn't get permission to install them. I want to give a speciall thanks to Edwind Contreras (Richzendy) who gave an excelent RPM workshop, to Guillermo Gómez (gomix) who bring awesome ideas, to Wilmer Jaramillo (k0k) who is "coming to town" again and he can encourage new users to be developers like he is, to Ricardo Fernandez (KOSHrf) who cheer up us all at every moment. We also have the active participation of a Loco team member (from ubuntu - Santiago Zarate) and Ricardo Hernandez, who is an awesome Arch user, and we all be able to share knowledge and make a brainstorm about other distros. I want to thank all who gave me the support and encourage me to do this Release Party. My contribution was only sho the attendees how to join our community, how to ask for support, join and handle mail list and a *morning* overview of what Fedora 12 can offer them to their daily routine. Here you can find some photos and some videos, thank you all for read this :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/tatadbb/sets/72157622973046968/ http://tatica.blip.tv http://tatica.org/2009/12/12/fedora-release-party-caracas/ -- tatica Maria Gracia Leandro http://www.tatica.org http://www.fedora-ve.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MariaLeandro LinuxUser= 440285 GPG Public Key: E1CDCC56 "Be yourself...

Re: [Ambassadors] Red Hat Virtual Experience report

Some > interesting conversations, and frequently-asked-questions that lots of > Ambassadors will get. > > http://spevack.livejournal.com/95091.html Awesome report. I really, really, really enjoyed the conference... although I have to admit I was at work and wasn't able to concentrate exclusively on it the whole day so I missed a lot of content... and the opportunity to ask questions and chat after them. Luckily though I saw someone mention that the presentations would be available online for the next 3 months... and verified the "replay" feature is there already. I did get to attend a couple presentations and do some question asking and chatting... although there were usually three going at the same time so there was no way to see them all live anyway. I attended the Technical Merits of KVM talk by Andrew Cathrow and was actually able to extend an interview I had done with him and Jim Brennan by chatting with them in the Networking Cafe. (See: Interview: Red Hat on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization - http://www.montanalinux.org/interview-red-hat-rhev.html). While I did notice some pretty minor technical glitches it does show the promise of such a "virtual" type event. I wonder how much it cost Red Hat and if it is something Red Hat (and/or others) would consider sponsoring for Fedora... so Fedora could have a virtual online conference. MY MAIN POINT IN SENDING THIS EMAIL IS... how many enjoyed it and would like to use it for Fedora? My only regret though is that the event was outsourced to virtualevents365.com (this was my first use of their service) and that it, I assume, is a closed service/product... and based strongly on Flash.. If there were unresolved concerns about using virtualevents365.com for a Fedora virtual conference, maybe Fedora could setup up a DimDim server (http://www.dimdim.com/) as an almost suitable substitute that is much more open/free?!? I too am signed up as a Fedora Ambassador but I've been busy with so many other Linux-related projects (OpenVZ and the LUGs in Montana) that I haven't been very active so far as the Fedora online services are concerned. Oh, and I have been responding to several Fedora related articles on LWN as Max mentioned. :) TYL, -- Scott Dowdle 704 Church Street Belgrade, MT 59714 (406)388-0827 [home] (406)994-3931 [work]

cerea fair - budget request
by Luca Foppiano 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi all, since August I'm trying to organize a meeting for the Italian fedora ambassador and supporters during the Cerea fair (an electronic/radio amateur/computer fair in Italy - near Verona - with about 10000 participants) on January 16th and 17th 2010. The expo area is divided into two zones, the expo and the conference (with sits for 250 people). The conference wasn't used so far, in fact the idea was that we start using it for the first time during the fair, to do some speech and talks about fedora and the free software stuffs. Unfortunately - I can sadly say thanks to the low interest to some people to move and to contribute - we miss this opportunity (I can't oblige people to come, and I can understand that sometimes traveling within Italy might be a PITA), but we have now the opportunity to have our own booth during the whole fair. I put all the information we need in this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/IT/Events/2010/CereaFair What I'm asking is a small budget for the accomodation and to refund some travellers that come from far away: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/IT/Events/2010/CereaFair#Budget The accomodation is really cheap: around 20€ per person, per night and the travel is just to refund some people (most of us come from the same city so we will share the car). Probably we'll need gadget as well, but I'm still checking to see if we have something left. Thanks Luca

Manual for new ambassadors
by Leonardo Menezes Vaz 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Dear fellows, I am kinda new here and yesterday I was asking Rodrigo Padula for some document/url explaining how the project works, specific areas, people involved, contacts etc so that I could have an idea how things works and where I could be useful. He told all areas are well documented at the wike, but he said he couldn't point a single location (or a toc) for all this information. Since I am new here and I want to understand how things work I propose we could organize a simple guide for new ambassadors - if it's not available yet. ;) How about?
