Events calendars
by Paul W. Frields 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

We have a wiki page for other events calendars: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Linux_Events I added http://fossevents.org/ to that page. But the page could use some Ambassador's attention, and this would be a good task for a newer Ambassador who's looking for a way to help. It would take maybe a half-hour or so for someone to go through all the links on that page and do some upkeep: * See if links work, fix or remove as necessary * If some of these sites are read-only calendars, break the page up to separate out and highlight sites where Ambassadors can add event information for Fedora events -- Paul W.

Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is built by people across the globe who work together as an open community that welcomes anyone to join. Mairin Duffy, an RPI CS alum from Red Hat, will talk about what makes Fedora different from other Linux-based operating systems and how you can get involved in Fedora. 02:13:12 <mizmo> practically, my plan is to talk a little bit about what makes fedora different than other distros 02:13:21 <mizmo> i'll talk about the commitment to freedom, working upstream, and technology 02:13:46 <mizmo> and then ill go over the various areas of the project - all the sigs and the different ways you can contribute, and talk a bit about the types of projects that happen 02:13:46 <spevack> mizmo: do you have all your notes? Do you want my notes for the "general Fedora talk built around the 4 foundations?" 02:14:01 <mizmo> spevack: i only have a rough outline, i haven't done the slides yet - i would love to see your notes 02:14:31 <spevack> mizmo: sure 02:14:49 <mizmo> yay! duffy(a)fedoraproject.org :) 02:15:03 <VileGent> #actionspevack to get mizmo his notes on the 4 foundations general talk 02:15:23 <VileGent> thanks both 02:15:37 <VileGent> and thing else for this event 02:15:59 <inode0> she is going to chalk up the campus on the way out of town :) 02:16:14 <makfinsky> Does she have enough chaulk? 02:16:14 <VileGent> We sent some swag for this event as well correct? 02:16:54 <VileGent> makfinsky, always 02:17:05 <makfinsky> :) 02:17:14 <mizmo> VileGent: yep inode0 hooked me up with plenty of swag 02:17:27 <mizmo> im going to be on campus tomorrow at the campus career fair with flyers I designed to try to get more folks to come 02:17:37 <mizmo> i printed out a couple of FEL flyers too since there's a lot of electrical engineers at RPI 02:17:54 <makfinsky> Forgive me...

We might have a Fedora talk at the beginning and end. 02:37:40 <crossbytes> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SIP_Witch_Domain_Telephony just a suggestion 02:37:43 <spevack> What about Zikula/Fedora Insight? 02:37:51 <spevack> mchua_afk would be all over that 02:38:11 <spevack> or have a FAD/open-to-all hackfest around Karsten's "The open Source Way" stuff 02:38:14 <spevack> or Summer of code 02:38:17 <spevack> quaid: ^^^^ 02:38:19 <lcafiero> That sounds fine to me. I'm really not married to anything 02:38:29 <lcafiero> or anybody. 02:38:32 <lcafiero> no, wait . . . 02:38:42 <lcafiero> But it's something we should probably decide soon 02:39:56 <lcafiero> We seem to have a fixed number on hotel rooms and I think we'll probably come in way under budget on that. There's a revised scale budget at that site that VileGent pointed out earlier 02:40:31 <lcafiero> It looks like I'm staying as SCALE staff, freeing up that much for Fedora 02:40:45* lcafiero is the publicity co-chair for SCALE 02:40:59 <lcafiero> Um, let's see. That's about it. 02:41:17 <lcafiero> I think vwbusguy sent out the code to those attending to go to the FAD and/or work the booth. 02:41:24 <spevack> lcafiero: so, who's going to make the decision about the FAD? 02:41:44 <lcafiero> Um, good question. 02:41:49 <VileGent> yes code has been sent out 02:41:51 <lcafiero> I can, but that would be dictatorial of me 02:42:07 <lcafiero> But I thought the group could -- especially those attending. 02:42:20 <lcafiero> (oh, also ke4qqq is attending, I think) 02:42:44 <lcafiero> I'd be glad to center it around Fedora Insight/Zikula 02:43:07 <spevack> lcafiero: i shall write up some ideas for the larger public, and see what kind of support any of them get. 02:43:21 <lcafiero> That would be great. 02:43:36* spevack starts a blog post 02:43:52 <lcafiero> Also, there's going to be a try-it booth where we'll have F12 -- will any manifestation of F13 be ready by Feb. 19, does anyone know? 02:44:11 <lcafiero> Ubuntu is going to have whatever their next animal is. 02:44:22 <lcafiero> So I'm just checking to see 02:45:00 <VileGent> i am planning on possible having a f12 re-spin as well 02:45:13 <lcafiero> Oh, right -- that would be great for the try-it booth 02:45:18 <inode0> alpha freeze is 2/16, but release will follow SCaLE 02:45:20 <lcafiero> Along with F12, of course. 02:45:28 <lcafiero> OK, then never mind. 02:45:32 <lcafiero> re alpha 02:45:40 <lcafiero> that is. 02:46:36 <lcafiero> I think that's it for me, as if that's not enough, so if anyone has any questions . . . . 02:47:24 <VileGent> next?? 02:47:33 <lcafiero> Hearing none, thanks for staying awake 02:47:42 <VileGent> #topic- Shmoocon 02:47:42 <VileGent> #linkhttp://www.shmoocon.org/ 02:47:55 <inode0> makfinsky: still with us? 02:47:58 <makfinsky> I will be attending Shmoocon this weekend. 02:48:05 <makfinsky> Here.

Kinda hackerish, with more emphasis on actual work, rather than say defcon, which has more emphasis on... partying? 02:50:53 <makfinsky> Ah, excellent! 02:51:32 <makfinsky> I'll be there on Sat and Sunday, can't make Friday's opening. 02:52:18 <lcafiero> Some of the topics sound pretty interesting 02:52:52 <makfinsky> I honestly haven't had a chance to review the topics. 02:53:40 <spevack> lcafiero: http://spevack.livejournal.com/98143.html 02:53:47* spevack sends that to a list or two, also 02:54:07 <makfinsky> That's it for shmoocon. 02:54:43 <lcafiero> spevack: excellent -- much better than a call on the list, which is what I was going to do. 02:54:53 <lcafiero> maybe I'll just point people to the bloc 02:54:58 <lcafiero> bloc=blog 02:55:20 <VileGent> makfinsky, please blog as much as possible 02:55:26 <VileGent> moving on 02:55:29 <VileGent> #topicEvents - Fedora Ambassador Day Proposal 02:55:29 <VileGent> #linkhttps://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_NA_2010 02:56:19 <inode0> Having not heard any alternative suggestions I will begin firming up facilities 02:56:59 <inode0> And creating an initial agenda which we can tweak in the coming weeks 02:57:31 <inode0> If you are interested, don't be bashful about signing up 02:57:46 <inode0> This is our opportunity to plan for the coming year 02:59:02 <VileGent> anything else for this event for now ? 02:59:10 <inode0> not from me 02:59:22 <VileGent> #topic- Events - Other 02:59:23 <jetrigger> inode0: how is the weather in iowa in late may? 02:59:35 <inode0> weather is nice in May 02:59:56 <VileGent> in later is tornado weather 03:00:02 <VileGent> any later that is 03:00:04 <jetrigger> ok count me in 03:00:06 <lcafiero> heh 03:00:17 <inode0> tornados are cool, and we have a cool tornado simulator on campus :) 03:00:38 <jetrigger> get enough tornados here in north texas.. ill pass on visiting other state sponsored tornados 03:00:39 <VileGent> Any one else have any other events in the next couple of months 03:00:43 <lcafiero> I have an item for brief discussion, at least by my standards 03:01:00 <lcafiero> Did you guys discuss swag earlier? 03:01:10 <VileGent> lcafiero, coming up soon 03:01:14 <inode0> we do have budget stuff remaining to quickly go through 03:01:20 <lcafiero> Oh, sorry. 03:01:20 <inode0> including swag 03:01:36 <VileGent> any other events to cover tonight??? 03:01:36 <lcafiero> I thought "other" was the end of the meeting omnibus discussion 03:01:55 <lcafiero> Linux Fest Northwest in April -- more to follow at later meetings :-) 03:02:14 <VileGent> #topicBudget Review 03:02:15 <VileGent> #linkhttps://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget 03:02:22* spevack perks up 03:02:27 <lcafiero> heh 03:02:41 <inode0> let me summarize where things are now 03:02:48 <VileGent> #linkhttps://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Budget 03:02:52 <inode0> clings were ordered and StabbyMc has them 03:03:07 <VileGent> inode0, hold on the swag please 03:03:07 <StabbyMc> they are mine, all mine! 03:03:23 <VileGent> #topicBudget Review - Swag 03:03:25 <VileGent> ok 03:03:28 <inode0> the 3" logo laptop stickers have also been ordered 03:03:44 <inode0> eta unknown but how long can it take? :) 03:03:45 <StabbyMc> well, I'm working on it, had some art issues, but it'll be done this week. 03:03:58 <StabbyMc> Likely 1-2 weeks. 03:04:06 <VileGent> #actionWindow Clings (in stock) 03:04:06 <VileGent> #action3" Logo Stickers (ordered 3000) by StabbyMc 03:04:06 <VileGent> #actiont-shirts (quote pending) 03:04:23 <inode0> DemonJestor is waiting on a quote for the t-shirts, that hasn't changed since I put it on the agenda 03:04:54 <VileGent> #actionDemonJestor is waiting on a quote for the t-shirts 03:05:02 <inode0> Finally the event box for Canada is being taken care of now 03:05:21 <VileGent> #topicUnfinished Business Event Box for CA 03:05:24 <inode0> question? 03:05:25 <lcafiero> +1, eh? 03:05:46 <inode0> spevack: should we have a list or are we good? 03:06:12 <Arsenick> Yup, I'll try to contact a local supplier tomorow, if It's not working I'll contact spevack to see how it work for ordering 03:06:15 <spevack> I'm assuming we won't get tshirts ordered before mid-Feb. 03:06:26 <inode0> I'm not sure 03:06:35 <spevack> But let's be honest -- especially given the lack of spending in other regions, we're sitting on extra budget. 03:06:43 <inode0> We should have the quote before then 03:06:47 <spevack> This is as good a time as any to replenish stickers, buttons, whatever. 03:07:00 <spevack> and it seems like we're doing that 03:07:18 <inode0> we are generally out of buttons 03:07:25 <VileGent> #actionArsenick arrange with Max to order Pelican 1610 box 03:07:32 <inode0> I think everything else we are pretty good on?! 03:07:51 <VileGent> open floor? 03:07:56 <lcafiero> one more budget item to spevack 03:08:51 <spevack> what is it? 03:09:15 <lcafiero> did you talk to ilan rabinovitch at SCALE? he said he'd contact you. I don't think they're expecting Fedora to sponsor since red hat apparently already did. 03:09:30 <lcafiero> so that money earmarked in the SCALE budget may not be necessary. 03:09:34 <spevack> oh 03:09:42 <lcafiero> I bring it up because it looks like NA is over $8K 03:09:48 <lcafiero> for the quarter 03:09:48* spevack searches his inbox for that name 03:09:56 <lcafiero> at least on the wiki 03:10:28 <spevack> no emails from ilan 03:10:33 <lcafiero> Hmmm. OK 03:10:38 <spevack> but if we don't need a general sponsorship for SCALE from Fedora, then that's fine. 03:10:48 <lcafiero> Right, thought that might help. 03:11:08 <inode0> I'll try to get a button quote this week then since that doesn't sound like it will be a problem. 03:11:11* quaid pokes his head in and TURNS ON HIS CAPS LOCK 03:11:13 <quaid> HELLO 03:11:18 <lcafiero> And as a general principle, I think we should sponsor events 03:11:20 <quaid> sorry ... open questions for me? 03:11:36 <lcafiero> What is the capital of Alberta? 03:11:43 <VileGent> #topicopen floor 03:11:43 <quaid> Canada? 03:11:51 <lcafiero> Heh.

Shmoocon
by Ivan Makfinsky 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

I will be attending Shmoocon this weekend with F12 media. Anyone interested in meeting up to help promote and hand out media, let me know. The conference starts on Friday, I will be attending on Sat and Sun though as I am flying in Friday night from out of town. I was not able to spend the time getting a booth setup for Fedora as I was unsure that I would be able to attend so it will be all hand shaking and such. http://www.shmoocon.org Thanks, - Ivan -- Ivan Makfinsky Chief Systems Architect Endosys, Inc. ivan.makfinsky(a)endosys.com
