Fedora Community Kit
by Zoltan Hoppar 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Hi, I have thought an thing that could be the next ninja bounty an Fedora Community Site kit, where who wants simply could download an package, what contains elements to an community site or an blog. Maybe it's a good idea, until the community site will be ready. With that, makes easier to create more relations. What do you think guys, girls? -- PGP: 06853DF7

tips and tricks for Ambassadors, by Ambassadors
by Karsten Wade 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Today I had a tip for Ambassadors and went looking for a page to put them on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tricks_for_Ambassadors_from_Ambassadors ... which it turns out I created last year. I added the tip (create a flyer for scheduled Fedora-related items around a conference, to pass out at from the booth, around the room, etc.), and am reminding all of you about this page and system. You can add a short tip or trick to that page. For longer ideas, you can create a stand-alone page. If you do, add these categories to the bottom so the page is easily found: [[Category:Ambassador how to]] [[Category:Ambassador tips and tricks]] - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41

Move pages from wiki
by Rafael Gomes 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Guys, What do you think about move some useful page from wiki (ex. Join Page) to a static page and put it in transifex? I am from Brazil and I can see how is hard get new collaborators, because we have a obsolete or inexistent information about how it is possible in our language (pt-br). IMO we (from Brazil) should send our new collaborators to official website, instead local website with obsolete or inexistent information. IMO is easier keep translation of official information, instead create a new one or copy and translate that, because when something change, may be we can't follow. What do you think about it?

anger and FOSS
by Joerg Simon 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Dear Fellows, as Ambassadors we are exposed to the public more than all the other contributors within the Fedora Project - therefore we are commited to our special Code of Conduct - i know that sometimes frictions are not avoidable - it is the way how we deal with it! Spot wrote a very interesting Article about "anger and FOSS" and made some very valuable points: "Angry people are poisonous people. Sometimes, they can calm down and become productive people, but almost no one is useful and productive when they're angry. This is why snark isn't useful or productive. It's why no one wins a shouting match, ever. When it comes to FOSS, which is largely a meritocracy, when you're angry, you're not able to earn respect or credibility." http://spot.livejournal.com/314645.html a very interesting read. cu Joerg -- Joerg (kital) Simon jsimon(a)fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoergSimon http://kitall.blogspot.com Key Fingerprint: 3691 0989 2DCA 58A2 8D1F 2CAC C823 558E 5B5B 5688

Re: [Ambassadors] Helping UP Institute of Chemistry

The cost would be the event sponsorship fee + cost for producing media, other incidental costs will be covered by local ambassadors. Benefit to Fedora - this will be our biggest presence so far in the university and although the organizing committee is from IC, the project is geared towards the whole UP Community (students, alumni, partners and friends) so there's still a good chance of meeting people from your usual CS+Engg crowd. > * Try negotiating with the university so that we *don't* have to pay a booth > fee.

Now we're talking :) For PHP 15k, we'll have (1) acknowledgment by the hosts during the event, (2) plain text acknowledgment on presentation, (3) tertiary billing on all promotional materials, (4) 10 second video commercial during the event, (5) flyers to 80% of attendees, (6) option to set up a booth, (7) 3" x 4" banner in the venue. > > Herson, your thoughts as event owner? I think the event is worthwhile because of two reasons: (1) it's a good cause (helping IC get their bearings back after the fire) and (2) we'll be putting the Fedora Project in front of a lot of professors, students, alumni and university officials. I want to add more but for brevity's sake that's what's on my mind. -- Heherson Pagcaliwagan http://project.azneita.org +63.908.885.5428

Ambassadors Mentors Survey Result
by Joerg Simon 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Dear Fellows, i want to share with you the collected answers of our Ambassadors mentoring survey. This is the first stage, FAmA will now aggregate the answers and work out a proposal to the Mentors which will be discussed in the soon to be announced (next) Mentors Meeting - to enhance the membership and mentoring expirience. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Mentors_Survey I think it is a very interesting read and is showing we are on a good way with our approach on mentoring. Thanks to Sankarshan who gave the impulse for this survey and also thanks to all mentors who took the time to answer the survey - we know how busy you all are! cu Joerg -- Joerg (kital) Simon jsimon(a)fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoergSimon http://kitall.blogspot.com Key Fingerprint: 3691 0989 2DCA 58A2 8D1F 2CAC C823 558E 5B5B 5688
