Local Vendors
by Firas Al Kafri 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Hi everyone I have an idea to make Fedora more easy to reach by new users and people who don't have sufficient bandwidth to download that distro, the vendors idea is already existed of course but the new thing is to encourage new vendors to start supporting fedora this week. as for me I'm meeting huge stores managers this week to encourage them to support fedora. if your interested, please make sure the new vendor is added to LocalVendors wiki page : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/LocalVendors -- *Firas Al Kafri* * * *Google+ : gplus.to/firasalkafri* * * *Twitter : http://twitter.com/#!/AlKafri_Firas * * * * *

by Suresh Packiyarajah 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Dear all, Quick summary of Fedora meet up @Malaysia. it was held on the 18th and 20th of Nov 2011 at McDonald's Malaysia. Full Credits go to Mohd Izhar Firdaus (Kagesenshi) who organized the event. *List of participated.* 1.Ankit (India-Red Hat Pune) 2.Aman Alam(India-Red Hat Pune) 3.Ani Peter(India-Red Hat Pune) 3.Danishka Navin -Srilanka 4.Mohd Izhar Firdaus-Malaysia 5.Mohd Fazli Azran -Malaysia 6.Akmal-Malaysia 7.Symwan-Malaysia 8.Ken-Malaysia 9.Meng Shen,Lim-Malaysia 10.Mak-Bangladesh 11.Tuan-Vietnam 12.Puong Yang -Vietnam 13.Hung Ngwyen Vu-Vietnam and my self but we have missed Pierros due to some reasons not only Fedora event but also he could not participated for the Mozilla Camp 2011 too. We had two session[18 and 20 of Nov] due to flight schedule and Mozilla Camp 2011, it took place at night. *Quick summary:* Malaysia Side: kagesenshi has an idea to do bidding FudCon 2012 but he needs more volunteers so his team players are willing to do campas camp event from 360' malaysia for recruiting students. Srilanka Side : There are many questions from other ambassadors regarding recently crises in srilanka fedora community so we replied "past is past" we hope it will not happen any more then we added that we are planning ahead to make more fedora events. India Side: They observed everything what we are speaking because recently they have done FudCon 2011 in Pune so no points to added. Ankit, just explained the general things like "in order to make success you have to plan two ways logical side and technical side and so on. Vietnam Side: Tuan says, he is not able to arrange like big events due to lack of ambassadors in Vietnam and also he added more "In Vietnam,other open source project has many community fans than Fedora so we are facing this issues in their region not only Vietnam but also Thailand,Hong Kong" he is trying his best over there. It was enjoyably meet up and Meeting ended with McDonald's meals and fun,jokes. Thanks Kagesenshi and others who participated.

Where are the case badges?
by Christoph Wickert 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

FAmSCo reports [1] list $1015 for 5000 case badges for EMEA. AFAIR they were supposed to be delivered to FOSDEM and I do recall Max (?) brought some, but I don't think it was 5000 pieces. This would have been 500 stripes of 10 pieces each, I believe it was more like 1000. I took home ~300 pieces and shipped them all over EMEA with the F15 media, but where is the rest? I cannot believe we spent them all but the inventory [2] doesn't list it either. And what about the other regions? Didn't NA order case badges, too? If so, why are they not in the budget?

[event report] Journées Du Logiciel Libre 2011 - Lyon (France)
by H. Guémar 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Hi, >From Friday 18th to Saturday 19th, the French community was represented at the 13th edition of "les Journées du Logiciel Libre" (Free Software Days in French) in Lyon, France. This was also the first time, that we -French ambassadors- were there under our new name: Borsalinux-FR. The event main theme was the cloud computing. Behind the booth: * Benoit Marcellin (sereinity) - Fedora ambassador * Kévin Raymond (shaiton) - Fedora ambassador (which we thank for bringing the kakemono) * Yann Bollard-Fedon - a regular from Fedora-Lyon * Haïkel Guémar (number80) - Fedora Monkey (that would be me) As we didn't get the F16 media, we had to distribute the remaining F14/15 ones. Among our friend communities: Mageia, OpenSUSE French community (OMG, i hadn't seen a living french openSUSE user for years, but two !), ubuntu-lyon, gnome-fr, jabber-fr, LibreOffice, L'April (the main French speaking Free Software advocate association), Centreon, OpenStreetMap, Fusion Inventory, Fusion Directory etc ... We had our share of interesting conferences * A legendary conference battle between Didier Untz and Vincent Roche (from GNOME fame): Unity vs GNOME3 * Benjamin Bayard (a famous french network neutrality advocate) was present * A lot of conferences around OpenSUSE * industrialization of FOSS projects (mine !) * and lots more There were many labs from how to help OpenStreetMap to installing an Asterisk server, etc... It was also the occasion to meet the local community and to share/troll with the friend communities. >From the packaging front, i'm currently helping "Salut à Toi" (a kewl XMPP client) maintainer to get his project packaged in Fedora. Fusion Directory (a web interface to manage your information system - a fork of GoSA-) guys are looking for perl packagers help to package their application and the missing dependencies. We also celebrated the 15 years of April and the ten years of Framasoft (another french-speaking free software advocate association) I'd like to thank François Trachez (gnu69) who couldn't make it here this year but who helped us a lot to maintain a Fedora booth during JDLL during the past years. Buen viaje companero ! best regards, H.
