Dear Fedora Steering whatever, there is no official paper, that says that "Fedora EMEA e.V." must rename hisself because of whatever. There are only discussions about that, because Red Hat dislike it sudden! But it is also real that we don't get any support as NPO, but we also didn't asked for, right. So Jared, Paul, Max Jim or Whitehurst send me as President of the Fedora EMEA e.V. NPO the request with a explanation WHY and HOW we should rename that NPO and I will definitly go to decide with the Board and Members. All the Best Gerold

by ElectroMech 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Dear All, We (ElectroMech Corporation) invited for small talk / seminar on Linux and Open source from 10:30 to 12:00 AM, Saturday. Thanks to Zakiya Madam, GLS Team for Inviting us. There were lots of interaction with students. The total presence = 90. GLS students are well aware about Linux and Open source. We had discussed and demonstrated lots of things about Fedora-13. The photographs can be viewed at http://www.electromech.info/component/option,com_phocagallery/Itemid,66/id,… Mostly we are going to conduct one more 1 day workshop for GLS MCA students. ( Again it will be on Fedora-13 only.) Again thanks to GLS faculties Jyotika Madam, Harshal Sir, Sonal Madam and all. Great enthusiasm of open source at GLS. -- -- Nilesh Vaghela ElectroMech Redhat Channel Partner and Training Partner 404, Maulik arcade, Above Karnavati Pagarakha Bazar, Nr.

A few observations on the Fedora 13 CD covers
by Ville-Pekka Vainio 07 Aug '10

07 Aug '10

Hi all, I'm currently at the Linux booth at the Assembly demo party at Helsinki, Finland. I've noticed a few things about the CD covers we have. - I might be revisiting a really old discussion here, but because we have both KDE and "Desktop" (i.e. GNOME) live CDs here, some people seem to be confused about the GNOME CD being called "Desktop Live Media" while the KDE CD is called "KDE Desktop Live Media". I think it would be clearer if the GNOME/Desktop disk clearly said on the cover that it's GNOME. - Some people also seem to be confused about what "Live Media" means and they think they won't be able to install from a live CD. We also have Ubuntu CDs here and those don't say anything about being live media, so it might be better to either drop the live media thing completely or add "installable" or something like that on the cover. - I've heard people say a couple of times that the Fedora CD covers look better than the Ubuntu ones :) -- Ville-Pekka Vainio

Dear All, We (ElectroMech Corporation) are invited to conduct a small talk / seminar of 2 hours on "Open source and Linux" at GLS, collage, Law Garden, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This is not open to all.

hu.fedoracommunity.org

Hi, I need a bit guidance to how can I achieve to get this subdomain registered. We currently trying to put together the first official hungarian community site with blessing of Red Hat (if possible), and we need the proper TM description too. Big main question is - we shall put together an baby site, and must have an review to get positive decision, or we could have the domain registered earlier, after an detailed sitemap plans (introducing local services also)? Yet we only have the plans, the hosting space is under registration (at elin.hu) - so, an little help who knows the way? Thanks, regards Zoltan Fedora Ambassador www.fedoraproject.org -- PGP: 06853DF7

Linux.conf.au fad proposal
by Dennis Gilmore 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hey all ive submitted a miniconf for LCA to be run as a FAD in the vein of a mini FUDCon type event https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LCA_2011_FAD as i have in the wiki the goals are * Explain Features coming in Fedora 15. * Explain how Fedora and The community works, Show how someone can be involved and help guide Fedora's future. * Provide an opportunity for users and developers to interact. All in the vain of a mini FUDCon. With the ultimate goal of having a full fledged FUDcon in .au To pull this off first the LCA organisers need to accept the miniconf and I would need funding for travel, as well as media, pens , maybe some other swag.
