EMEA Ambassadors, please stand up for media distribution
by Christoph Wickert 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hello world, a while back we agreed that the media we produced for the F13 cycle will be shipped to some anchor points within the EMEA region. From there they will be distributed locally to the event owners. [1] We now need to make sure that we get the media out to the anchors ASAP. We have a large number of media this time and it would be a great loss if we cannot spend them in time. So I'm asking everybody to send us orders of through the EMEA Swag tracker at https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking 1. Log in 2. Select new ticket 3. Fill out the fields and assign the ticket sspreitzer. We need to know the number of media (Live, Install, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, what architecture, etc) and your shipping address of course. Please get in touch with the other ambassadors and event owners in your local community to find out how much media you need. REMEMBER: If you are ordering media, YOU are responsible for distributing them in your country or region. I suggest to distribute the media when you meet other community members at events, but sometimes you might aso need to send smaller amounts of media by mail. Postage should be low and in this case we might cannot reimburse you for small sums of 2 or 3 EUR because the bureaucratic overhead and the fees for many transfers are to high compared to the money spent. Please don't order media that you cannot spend or ship to others. We have a lot of nice and shiny media, let's all work together to get them our to the community ASAP. Thanks for your cooperation! Regards, Christoph [1] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/ambassadors/2010-May/014551.html

In order to protect privacy, people are only allowed to see their own tickets or tickets that are assigned to the. I cannot see your ticket and you cannot see mine. Can you see > Anyway this is what I would like to order for Kenya: > > Gnome-Live - 15 > KDE-Live - 15 > Install i386 DVD - 30 > Install x64 DVD - 30 I think you should request more. We have a special set of 1000 additional media only for Africa. Here in Europe most people have high speed internet, so they can download Fedora and we only use the labeled media for promotion on events. In Africa things are different: * People don't have high speed internet and therefor I think it's ok to distribute media without having an official event. I'm sure people are curious to try them. * We don't have a big community in Africa yet. I have been talking to Twohot recently and he told me that the reason for Ubuntu being so popular there is their free media program. Our free media currently cannot compete with that, so we should take some of the event media. This being said I really think you should request more. I have already volunteered to send Twohot 200 Media (I will pay for shipping, it's not that expensive) and I can send you the same amount. Do you think you could spend 200 media wisely in a manner that will help Fedora to spread in Africa? Regards, Christoph P.S.: What I have written about Africa also applies to parts of Asia and we if we all agree to what I said we should think about enlarging this to Asia.

Estimados y estimadas: Tuve el agrado de participar en la FUDCon 2010 en Santiago, Chile, en donde don Guillermo Gómez (Gomix) dictó el taller de empaquetamiento RPM en Fedora. Para aquellos que no pudieron asistir, pero que el presente tema les interesa, dejo presente la grabación del taller pues está muy bien explicado. http://vimeo.com/13503330 Muchas gracias Gomix por tan excelente taller y por la autorización de compartirlo.

Re: [Ambassadors] GPG and mail posting

But this may become more cumbersome when the lists expands and the subscribers become too many. I guess that would do for now. Thanks

About Fedora free media
by Anuj More 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

In the recent days, I have received requests for F13 (And by that I mean personal emails) probably because things did not go well for them on the Fedora media request section. I tried my best to get them a Fedora DVD (Through pointers on where to get free DVDs on magazines like Chip/Digit/Others) That was when I thought: Is it wrong to suggest a person to go for free Ubuntu CDs if there is no way for the person to get Fedora? What is the stance of Fedora as a distribution on other distributions. Just a casual question. Popped up into my head. -- Anuj visit: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Anujmore Promoting: (pro-GNU/Linux) http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm (GNU/Linux's not Windows)

LinuxCon booth?
by Paul W. Frields 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

As Ben pointed out, the upcoming LinuxCon event in Boston, MA (USA) from August 10-12 has been on the events schedule for a while without an owner: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events#FY11_Q2_.28June_2010_-_August_2010.29 I just got a note from the Linux Foundation's events director that they are giving the Fedora Project a complimentary booth. I've also received a PDF with full details on space and setup. Is there anyone in the vicinity interested in staffing such a booth? -- Paul W.
