> First of all I don't agree with your motion to separate both. In Fedora Project you set the limits. Distinction between the two does not make sense for me. So increment that one. > I do not think this will work, nor would Red Hat be able to pay for so many interns. Maybe it can. No one's asking to hire _all_ the applicants. Just hire the best. That would increase competition (in a good way) and encourage others to come up. > I also believe, if you work hard at University, gained enough experience, you will sell yourself to an organization, be it Red Hat or any other. Not in India. I know better (First Year IT Mumbai University)

EMEA media general ordering and distribution process
by Sascha Thomas Spreitzer 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hello true freedom fighters, I suggest to implement the following; 1. I will take responsibility of the media ordering and shipping process in future 2. Max Spevack/RedHat will authorize me by a letter/signed statement to order in the responsibility and the name of RedHat, the media ( with criterias included; eg. budget) 3. I will order on behalf of RedHat and collect the media and ship it to distribution centres in the EMEA community 4. media order cycle is every quarter which is two times for each release 5. I will give a process flow description on the wiki pages 6. Tool for the process flow will be the EMEA swag tracker @Max; If this is ok for you, Ill send you my address for the letter, and we can go straight ahead. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with kind regards, Sascha Thomas Spreitzer http://spreitzer.name/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sspreitzer Warum mache ich überhaupt dieses ganze OpenSource Zeugs?

Linux Fest Northwest 2010
by Jesse Keating 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/ April 24-25, 2010 I've signed up to give two talks: http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/sessions/git-er-done-git http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/sessions/whats-under-hat-sneak-peek-fedora-13 I'm planning on going with a group of local Linux geeks, one of which will be a new RHT employee. Last year there was a fairly solid Fedora presence, will that happen again this year? As for resources, I'd really like to hand out USB sticks with Fedora 13 Beta on them, or a newer snapshot during my talk about Fedora 13 to those who ask questions. I gave out 50 or so a couple years ago and it seemed like a big hit. Not sure who I need to hit up for budget on that though this year. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

Event box for Canada
by Rene Jr Purcell 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

As discussed on the last meeting I had to see if we was able to buy the case from a local supplier at a better price. The answer is no, so we will have to buy it online. The best overall price with shipping we've found on the net are on boss-safety website. ( http://www.boss-safety.com ) The case model is: Pelican 1610NF Protector Case I know the end of the fiscal year is coming ( 15 feb. ?), so I think we need to hurry. Max Spevack is the person I have to talk, but with FOSDEM I didn't see him on IRC since few days.. So I'm writing here hoping he get the message or someone else could help! Thanks! René
