Fedora 14 Release Event at Managua, Nicaragua
by Neville A. Cross 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

I am dead tired and my head is trying to process all things that this day has brought. I will make a beautiful and complete report. By now I wanted to share some quick random data about the event. At some point I make a head count and we have 50 people in the hall, not sure how many people were crowding the OLPC stand and the Fedora stand in the lobby in front of the conference hall. Later there was more people coming, but I did not have time to do another head count. I have to look what the registries said. We distributed 5 KDE LiveCD, 11 Gnome LiveCD and 27 Install DVD. There was a lot of leaflets, but ony were distributed 19. Stickers were about 25 case badges (paper, not shiny) and 50 Fedora Bubbles. 18 T-shirts were distributed. We have people from three different entities talking about their experiences using Fedora: one web developer firm, one NGO and one foundation. The foundation is the one carrying the most successful OLPC implementations in Nicaragua. Besides talking about experiences with Fedora we got one talk about what is fedora, one about what is new in fedora 14, using YUM, and one about post-install. What was most dazzling was one person showing XBMC running in Fedora. I want to say that was a charming chaotic event. We have some problems during the event, but we have new people at the mike talking about Fedora. I was told that one girl throw up before the event as she was nervous, but then she gathered courage and stand in front of the crowd to make her presentation. I also very happy that three talks were given by girls. We got some lessons learned the hard way, but not to bad to make look bad the event. The final point is that for Managua, release party is not over yet... we have another smaller event this saturday !!

Issue raised at 2nd FAmSCo townhall
by Larry Cafiero 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hello, all -- I was unable to attend the second FAmSCo town hall -- to be honest, it was at 2 a.m. my time and I fell asleep before it started -- and while I don't have any specific disagreements with any of the other candidates' statements, I do have a significant problem with this one: 11:25:08 <kaio> 2. I would rephrase that into "Upgrade the ambassadors to superambassadors." - multi-functional ambassadors who specialize also in something they prefer: Development, Design, Documentation, Infrastructure, Testing, Marketing, Release, etc. I expect superambassadors are keen to share their knowledge and experiences via presentations and discussions in meet-ups. I am not sure what this suggestion means. Does it mean making a higher "level" of ambassador membership? Taking this back to front, don't ambassadors already "share their knowledge and experience via presentations and discussions in meet-ups"? My understanding is that many Ambassadors wear several hats in the Fedora Project (no pun intended -- no, really) -- and while we all contribute to the Ambassador program at our own level, it's expected thatt $AMBASSADOR_A who knows x, y, z is already imparting that knowledge at presentations, etc., s/he is doing. In other words, the multifunction aspect here is already in place and should be a part of an individual Ambassador's toolkit when s/he advocates for FOSS in general and Fedora in particular. Again, if this is a suggestion to make a different, possibly higher, tier of ambassador, I am completely against it. We are already trying to dispel a myth that the mentors in FAmSCo hold some sort of special "rank and privilege" within the organizational structure of FAmSCo. The last thing we need is to add fuel to this inequality "fire" by adding ranks where none should exist. Larry Cafiero
