Hi all, For a while we keep an eye on the status of the accounts in the ambassadors group. A new run through the 'ambassadors' group in the FAS shows the following numbers. Accounts checked : 880 Inactive Accounts : 242 % inactive : 27.5 % Some old data: Sat May 30 15:22:49 2009 29.7328687573 % Mon May 4 21:40:17 2009 31.686746988 % Those are just numbers and only informative. Don't forget that you don't need an active FAS account to participate active in the ambassadors group. Kind regards, Fabian [1] https://fedorahosted.org/fama/

Report from Lauch Party at Managua, Nicaragua
by Neville A. Cross 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hello, I have ran a Launch Party as scheduled on the event page, I didn't report earlier because I am currently in the First Central American Free Software Convention. The event was a success in several ways. The most important achievement was to gather new faces. We were able to outreach the community in great part due some media coverage. A full report has been posted on the event page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v/Fedora_11_Release_Party I hope the Event Contest is still on! Best regards to every one. -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217

(08:09:39 PM) inode0: Events (08:09:50 PM) inode0: Let's begin with OLF (08:09:59 PM) inode0: VileGent: take over and fill us in please (08:11:22 PM) VileGent: OLF emailed the paperwork to jeffery tadlock which in turn forwarded to several of us (08:12:17 PM) VileGent: after some discussion it was the concenus that we get the $75 table asap to get the free electric if possible (08:12:33 PM) Grantbow_: Oromo Liberation Front? that's the first google hit :-) (08:12:47 PM) VileGent: i filled the paperwork and emailed it to rob ball today and got confirmation that i was recieved (08:12:56 PM) nb: Ohio linux fest I think is what they said (08:13:00 PM) nb: Something like that (08:13:11 PM) VileGent: Ohio LinuxFest (08:13:22 PM) inode0: that is the .org booth which is perfect for us and what we've had the past three years apparently (08:14:17 PM) inode0: first 12 .orgs are supposed to get free electric, so hopefully we are one of them this year (08:14:26 PM) VileGent: so at this point we have a table (08:14:52 PM) ***inode0 again thanks VileGent for jumping all over OLF before they were ready for him (08:15:59 PM) inode0: so we'll hear more as it develops? (08:16:30 PM) inode0: the following week is the central pennsylvania open source conference (08:17:00 PM) inode0: DemonJester, who likely can't be here tonight, has contacted organizers there to arrange sponsorship again this year (08:18:08 PM) VileGent: inode0, as soon as i know something you will (08:18:22 PM) inode0: I've confirmed a couple more details about the Red Hat Summit (08:19:01 PM) inode0: We have a confirmed booth now, and will very soon begin signing up people to help staff it during the event (08:19:51 PM) inode0: We have several new confirmed Fedora people attending (08:20:29 PM) inode0: Red Hat is working with us to try to get Fedora pre-installed shortly before the event on USB sticks to give everyone at check-in (08:21:29 PM) inode0: Anyone else have any event business to discuss? (08:22:04 PM) inode0: Moving on to the budget ... (08:22:10 PM) inode0: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget (08:22:44 PM) inode0: Would anyone volunteer to create a Q2 budget worksheet for us? (08:23:38 PM) inode0: 5 minutes of cut/paste/edit on the wiki (08:23:43 PM) davdunc: I can do that. (08:23:54 PM) ***inode0 thanks davdunc (08:24:06 PM) davdunc: happy to help. (08:24:09 PM) ***Grantbow_ cheers (08:24:12 PM) inode0: we started spending before we had a place to record it :) (08:24:28 PM) inode0: one item from DemonJester (08:24:58 PM) inode0: The splatter t-shirts which will make ianweller infamous are at the printers and we are waiting for the final proof (08:25:27 PM) inode0: Once that is approved we'll be getting a new batch of really cool t-shirts (08:25:55 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: you have any budgety items? (08:26:50 PM) ***inode0 knows StabbyMc does so tries again to wake StabbyMc up (08:27:22 PM) StabbyMc: I have pens! (08:27:33 PM) ***herlo misread that at first (08:27:53 PM) nb: haha (08:27:57 PM) StabbyMc: got a quote for .41 per piece for 1000+ (08:28:05 PM) ***herlo is here a bit late, but here none the less (08:28:32 PM) inode0: can you describe them for us? (08:28:46 PM) ***StabbyMc finds a link ...

(08:29:51 PM) StabbyMc: blue ink (08:30:00 PM) StabbyMc: with the fedora Finity logo. (08:30:15 PM) inode0: bic clic stick (08:30:40 PM) davdunc: O.K. table is there. (08:31:12 PM) inode0: thanks davdunc (08:31:21 PM) davdunc: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget#Q2_2010_Budget_.28July… (08:31:47 PM) ***herlo needs someone to order retractable banners when another opportunity to discuss comes up (08:31:52 PM) inode0: so people who have spent budget please add your items (08:32:35 PM) inode0: davdunc: Q2 starts June though (08:32:40 PM) davdunc: doh. (08:32:53 PM) inode0: Red Hat likes to be confusing (08:33:28 PM) inode0: before returning to herlo's banners ... (08:33:41 PM) inode0: I would like to get pens for the Red Hat Summit (08:33:52 PM) inode0: Would other people like pens for other events? (08:33:54 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: you want me to put 3000 pens on the budget? (08:34:14 PM) inode0: StabbyMc: as a wishlist item yes (08:34:32 PM) inode0: in other words, with only expected cost (08:34:37 PM) crossbytes: yes, release party for 7/11. who do we get them through? (08:34:38 PM) davdunc: I have a quote from when I got the tattoos for comparison. (08:34:44 PM) davdunc: for pens, that is. (08:34:53 PM) inode0: these are 41 cents (08:34:56 PM) Grantbow_: marketing wise pens are very sticky - I could give some away at LUGs. (08:35:21 PM) inode0: giving pens away is easy, too easy, and that is sort of a problem with them (08:35:25 PM) davdunc: my quote was 52 cents for 2000 (08:35:32 PM) ***nb thinks pens are a good idea but doesn't know what our budget is like (08:35:41 PM) inode0: this is a pretty good price (08:35:49 PM) davdunc: each, of course. :-) (08:35:52 PM) inode0: yes (08:36:01 PM) nb: I can't look at the wikipage I'm on my phone right now (08:36:06 PM) inode0: these are 11 cents each below that (08:36:26 PM) inode0: we don't really have the budget in any shape to look at anyway (08:36:27 PM) Grantbow_: good bang for the buck marketing investment (08:36:28 PM) davdunc: less expensive is better in my book. (08:36:45 PM) StabbyMc: inode0: yeah, I'm worried that while I said it was a 2 color logo, the vendor didn't recognize that, but it'll come out in the proofs. (08:37:04 PM) inode0: there is almost nothing this Q left for events though so we should have some funds (08:37:51 PM) inode0: could I hear from any other regional ambassadors on this? (08:38:30 PM) VileGent: herlo could report on the fad (08:39:00 PM) herlo: Am I ready yet? http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/art/fedora_four_fs_vertical_banner_330x800.png (08:39:06 PM) ***lcafiero had two clients come in as the meeting started, but he'll comment on Q2 once he catches up (08:39:32 PM) lcafiero: I'll yield to the senator from Utah (08:39:39 PM) StabbyMc: pens on the budget (08:39:45 PM) ***inode0 would like comments about pen acquisition if you and herlo have any thoughts on those (08:40:01 PM) herlo: I like them (08:40:07 PM) lcafiero: ? (08:40:46 PM) StabbyMc: http://www.customink.com/designs/fedora1/13188748-2800869/share/?cm_mmc=sha… (08:40:51 PM) StabbyMc: lcafiero --^ (08:40:59 PM) lcafiero: inode0: when you say Q above, do you mean Q1 or Q2? (08:41:00 PM) inode0: crossbytes: sorry, I missed your question - we don't have any yet - discussing getting some (08:41:20 PM) crossbytes: ok (08:41:26 PM) inode0: Q1 is over and done with (08:41:45 PM) inode0: Q2 has OSB and NECC and OSCON left (08:41:51 PM) lcafiero: Got it. Thanks. (08:41:52 PM) inode0: and MLS (08:42:01 PM) ***lcafiero looks at calendar for once (08:42:12 PM) inode0: OSB and NECC we aren't doing much I don't think (08:42:19 PM) inode0: OSCON is hazy (08:42:35 PM) inode0: Any news from OSCON? (08:43:01 PM) inode0: lcafiero is a journalist - I'm putting him down as liking pens (08:43:01 PM) lcafiero: OSCON may not be a go. We're on a waiting list for a table at the dot-org pavilion, second in line. (08:43:21 PM) lcafiero: pens = +1 (08:43:29 PM) inode0: Question (08:43:40 PM) inode0: if we do get a table is that free or is there some fee? (08:43:44 PM) lcafiero: free (08:44:01 PM) inode0: ok, so if we get that we just send all our swag to you (08:44:12 PM) Grantbow_: no electricity or network but it's a free booth (08:44:23 PM) scramer: ? (08:44:30 PM) lcafiero: Grantbow_ is correct (08:44:40 PM) inode0: swell, do you know what electric and network costs? (08:44:52 PM) Grantbow_: minimum electricity is about $250 (08:44:55 PM) lcafiero: What was it, $400 or something? (08:45:06 PM) Grantbow_: network is $400 for the first IP and $250 for additional even with NAT (08:45:14 PM) lcafiero: Right, that was it. (08:45:19 PM) inode0: OSCON of all places should not play these games (08:45:27 PM) lcafiero: True. (08:45:29 PM) Grantbow_: economic tightening (08:45:38 PM) Grantbow_: it was free in years past I heard (08:45:54 PM) lcafiero: I believe Grantbow_ is right (08:45:57 PM) VileGent: sounds like a union convention center (08:46:09 PM) inode0: even if it isn't free calling it a free booth is sort of scamlike (08:46:11 PM) lcafiero: Anyway, quaid had an interesting idea if we don't have a table (08:46:11 PM) Grantbow_: yeah, McHenry Convention Center in San Jose (08:46:22 PM) lcafiero: quaid, white courtesy phone . . . . (08:46:58 PM) lcafiero: He and I were discussing it and he thought that maybe we could be somewhat nomadic about our appearance at OSCON. (08:47:16 PM) Grantbow_: stealth appearances? lol (08:47:49 PM) VileGent: fedora ambassadors shirt with backpack full of media (08:48:03 PM) Grantbow_: aha! (08:48:09 PM) ***herlo thinks backpacks would be cool for ambassadorkits (08:48:11 PM) lcafiero: Something like that. (08:48:19 PM) StabbyMc: Guerrilla marketing? (08:48:23 PM) ***lcafiero agrees with herlo (08:48:24 PM) herlo: que? (08:48:38 PM) ***inode0 imagines quaid rolling the event box behind lcafiero from booth to booth stealing the attention of the waiting crowds (08:49:07 PM) lcafiero: I thought I'd be in a monkey suit and quaid would have the hurdy gurdy, but I like inode0's idea better (08:49:35 PM) inode0: anyone ride a unicycle? throwing swag from atop one of those gets people's attention (08:49:42 PM) lcafiero: My daughter does. (08:49:54 PM) ***StabbyMc volunteers to pop out of the manholes throwing tatoos and pens at people. (08:50:12 PM) lcafiero: I'd pay to see that, StabbyMc (08:50:24 PM) ***inode0 can't imagine what they charge for a unicycle on the expo floor, probably thousands (08:50:32 PM) Grantbow_: lcafiero: Spartan battle dress? (08:50:46 PM) lcafiero: But OSCON's still a little up in the air, and there are a couple of folks I can still talk to in order to ping them about sharing a table, if there are no objections. (08:50:58 PM) inode0: sure, no objections (08:51:02 PM) lcafiero: true inode0 (08:51:09 PM) inode0: and the stealth presence sounds like a good backup (08:51:18 PM) lcafiero: I'll be updating on the mailing list. (08:51:28 PM) inode0: herlo: take it away (08:51:46 PM) inode0: http://herlo.fedorapeople.org/art/fedora_four_fs_vertical_banner_330x800.png (08:51:46 PM) herlo: w00t (08:51:51 PM) inode0: let's return to this (08:51:52 PM) herlo: right, thx inode0 (08:52:17 PM) herlo: so I need someone to take on the ordering of the retractable banners for the eventbox (08:52:45 PM) inode0: do you have a contact/company? (08:52:48 PM) herlo: technically, the banner will fit in the eventbox if we use a 24" banner size, but there was some disagreement about it (08:52:49 PM) inode0: or just artwork? (08:53:07 PM) herlo: inode0: no, just artwork, though I did do some research and found a good price online for about $300 (08:53:10 PM) herlo: per (08:53:20 PM) lcafiero: and we're looking at two, right? (08:53:25 PM) inode0: three (08:53:26 PM) herlo: which means if we did 4 banners, that's $1200 (08:53:30 PM) herlo: haha (08:53:36 PM) herlo: we can start small (08:53:38 PM) inode0: or four, but at least three (08:53:41 PM) lcafiero: I thought we had two event boxes (08:53:45 PM) inode0: three (08:53:53 PM) lcafiero: Oh. (08:54:01 PM) herlo: lcafiero: the East one was launched this weekend by VileGent (08:54:01 PM) lcafiero: Who has the third? (08:54:06 PM) herlo: :) (08:54:09 PM) lcafiero: Right, and I have one (08:54:11 PM) lcafiero: Ah.
