Sharing Good News & an idea...
by Manuel Escudero 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi, I've been using SUSE Studio for some time by now and I just build an appliance for Musicians and Music production called "Synthelos Linux", the information goes below: "Synthelos Linux is an appliance built specifically for Music Production Enviroments, integrating as well all the basic apps for all kind of users and some more for graphics and video editing. Because it's an OpenSUSE's 11.3 Clon, you'll have all the basic apps for anything plus some enhanments and all the apps you might need in a music studio or professional discographic label, all with a beautiful KDE and 64 bit compatible to take advantage of the most powerfull systems." In order to get more information please visit: http://susegallery.com/a/GKa8xP/synthelos-linux Anyone can download and use the Appliance if you're interested. Because of this, I had a new idea: Well, talking about my new idea, I was thinking: ¿Why don't we make a Fedora Remix focused on Music and Music production? it would be great, so I want to ask you ¿How do we start building a Remix OS focused to music enviroments? is there one? I'll be interested in Joining to such project Thanks. -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlevick(a)googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: DAE3 82E9 D68E 7AE4 ED31 1F8F 4AF4 D00C 50E7 ABC6

Re: [Ambassadors] What do you think? (was Re: fedoracommunity.org portal design)

But that is way harder to find out which other regional resources are available apart for the single one listed in the main page. Let's compare the experience about finding my Fedora Regional Team resources with our friends at Ubuntu.com. Ubuntu: 1. go to ubuntu.com 2. click on "Community" 3. scroll and click on "Local Ubuntu Teams" (goes to wiki) 4. Find Italy and follow the links to site, mailing list, wiki, forum, etc... Fedora (now) 1. go to fedoraproject.org 2. not sure how obvious is this, I click Communicate 3. click "Community Websites" (goes to a section", the again on "Community Websites" link 4. click on "International" 5. Find Italy, 4 sites listed only one actually a community site, no mention or links to other kind of resources. Fedora (redesigned) 1. go to fedoraproject.org 2. click on "Community" I guess this will link to fedoracommunity.org) 3. Select the region 4. find Italy, only one website listed 5. figure you need to click on the EMEA link (goes to wiki) 6. find Italy and follow the links to site, mailing list, wiki, forum, etc. I still think making a shortcut from 4 to 6 in this last list is a better solution, easier to figure out. -- Gianluca Sforna http://morefedora.blogspot.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/gianlucasforna

Fosdem 2011 as a Fedora Premium event?
by Bert Desmet 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

Hi, While setting up the wiki pages for Fosdem 2011 [1] I checked the older ones too. I saw there were each time more than 40 [2][3] Fedora contributors from all over Europe, and even Africa (and beyond) checking out Fosdem, under the Fedora umbrella. One of the things I sometimes hear, is a request for sponsorship, but this is something that is hard to control as we dont' have a fixed budget for travel, or whatever. So my question is, would it be possible to set up a FUDcon like structure to make it easier for people who want to join us at Fosdem, but don't have the means too, to have an easier structure to request sponsorship? with kind regards, Bert Desmet [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSDEM_2011 [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSDEM_2010 [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSDEM_2009 //I first used the wrong e-mail address for the mailing list..

Search Engine Proposal
by Manuel Escudero 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi! I've been working in a project called "Hermes" (For more information refer to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hermes) The idea is to build a Feed Parser customizable by the user that notifies when there are important news... As an additional feature I wanted to integrate a FEDORA SEARCH BOX, so I tought I might use the one that's in http://start.fedoraproject.org/ But I asked some users and I tried it discovering that that search box was a normal, common Google's Search Box. In order to provide a "better information service" for the user, I tought that building a Fedora's Custom Search Engine based on Google might be useful in both ways to HERMES and the http://start.fedoraproject.org/ webpage, so I built one. I called it the "Fedora's Engine" and is built over Google's CSE Technology, it's multilanguage, UTF-8 encoded and it has two options: "Search the Whole web making emphasis in some sites" or "Search the Whole web" The first option makes a search consult all along the web but it make emphasis in these sites: http://goo.gl/cRfP (Click to see the list) The second option give the same results as if you're searching on Google The Search Engine has the "autofill" option enabled and it's fedora branded, as you may see I included all the Fedora relevant sites so this engine is a fully fedora search engine that we can use in the Hermes Project and also in the http://start.fedoraproject.org/ webpage. The code is right here: http://fpaste.org/DmBz/ You can preview the working engine here:* *http://tinyurl.com/fedorasengine And If you want to Download the ".html" file with the code, it's right here: http://ubuntuone.com/p/E04/ Hope you find this idea useful :) * * * * -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlevick(a)googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: DAE3 82E9 D68E 7AE4 ED31 1F8F 4AF4 D00C 50E7 ABC6

fedoracommunity.org portal design
by Máirín Duffy 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi Ambassadors! I just created a blog post on the fedoracommunity.org redesign that Sijis and I have been working on in the websites team: http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/fedoracommunity-org-website-design/ Thank you for the help you provided earlier in tracking down some of the various country sites; it made the mockups possible. I wanted to know if you had any feedback on the design so far, and if we missed any community sites that you may be aware of. Do let us know. I am hoping this site can serve as a helpful tool for Fedora Ambassadors in the future, especially in directing new/potential users to their local community. Let me know if this makes sense! Thanks, ~m
