Drupalistas: Call for participation on Fedora Insight
by Pascal Calarco 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

Hi Fedora Ambassadors -- Do you have intermediate to advanced Drupal 6 skills, and some time to apply these to benefit the Fedora community? Would you be interested in leveraging these to help spread the word about Fedora? If so, then we have a great opportunity for you! Fedora Insight[1] is a content portal for aggregated news, views, and events about the Fedora Project that a multi-faceted team has been working on over the last while. The vision is to build a rich, dynamic one-stop place to get the latest news on Fedora. The first content we're incorporating is Fedora Weekly News[2], and we're in the midst of themeing the site as well as creating new Views for FWN issues. Come join us! We meet Thursdays on irc.freenode.net If you are interested, please join the Fedora logistics list[3], and introduce yourself to the team! We've also started a new Fedora Project Drupal group[4] for more recruitment, so join us there too, once it has been approved by the moderators there! Thanks so much! - pascal [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN [3] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/logistics [4] http://groups.drupal.org/fedora-project-linux-distribution --- Pascal Calarco, Fedora Ambassador & FWN Editor http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pcalarco

Fedora 15 Ambassadors Schedule
by Pierros Papadeas 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hello all, We did the test last release, but things went not as planned. We tried to enforce a Schedule for Ambassador Specific activities in sync with the release of Fedora 14, but most of the tasks were not pursued in time. It is not time to point fingers so lets look for Fedora 15 Schedule of Ambassadors! This time FAmSCo (and personally I , as chair) takes full responsibility of making sure the schedule will be followed as planned. After the election of the current FAmSCo (November - December 2010) we did a review [1] of the draft schedule from J.Poelstra (our previous schedule wrangler) and with help of Robyn Bergeron (our beloved current schedule wrangler) we updated it to meet Ambassador specific needs. Also we have new naming of the tasks to help us understand the owner of task more easily (it was a problem on the old one). Who will enforce it? FAmSCo will make sure the owners of each task have whatever they need to make the action. How will we report back and review schedule? The Schedule will be part of our weekly FAmSCo calls so feel free to drop by to raise an issue. If this is not possible raise the issue on the mailing list of Ambassadors. Is the schedule flexible? We are human beings and sometimes we cannot meet some deadlines :) This is totally understandable and FAmSCo will be there to help out, and in extreme cases reform schedule to meet some updated needs. Is this the final form of the schedule? Although we tried to deliver a schedule that took into consideration all of our needs, we understand that the schedule will need some reform and fine tuning for our next release (e.g. Fedora 16). After the Fedora 15 release is over we will gather all available feedback and discuss it to make the appropriate adaptions. Where is the Schedule anyway? The schedule can be found here [2] along with the rest of the Fedora 15 schedules Is this schedule describing all Ambassadors Tasks? Of course not! This schedule is only for release-specific Ambassador tasks (i.e. tasks like Release Parties, media production etc). Feel free to host events and make action out of the schedule as always! But if your actions are release-specific please help us meet the guidelines. Feel free to comment (as always) and step up on specific regional tasks. I will post and nudge on the mailing list towards the adherence to the schedule :) ~π [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-ambassadors/2010-12-30/ambassadors_… [2] http://rbergero.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-15/f-15-ambassadors-tasks.html -- Pierros Papadeas FAmSCo Chair PGP key: 0x6130DBF8 http://pierros.papadeas.gr pierros(a)papadeas.gr liknus @ GRnet , Freenode

by Buddhike Kurera 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Dear Ambassadors, I am glad to inform you that the order for FAm wear Tshirt has been placed and the order is scheduled to be delivered at the end of March. Due to ICC world cup in Sri Lanka, the factory is busy producing garments for fans. Therefore it may delay a week or two but not too much. Therefore I ll be able to ship them for those who have order them at the end of March. FAm outside APAC can get their wear by paying the shipping cost plus production cost. For APAC FAm., I ll inform you about the charges and shipping cost soon. For any comment please visit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bckurera/APAC-shirts -- Regards, *Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera* The Editor in Chief - FOSS User Magazine Fedora Ambassador - Sri Lanka

Update on the EMEA F14 media
by Christoph Wickert 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi there, a quick update on the EMEA media: Media are in production and should be ready next week. There were some problems with the sleeves (files were not PDF-X3 and contained a font that the media company didn't have), but we solved them. For the F14 time being we get 3000 media: * 1000 desktop live 32 bit * 1000 install DVDs 32 bit * 1000 install DVDs 64 bit I regret not doing KDE, LXDE or Xfce, but otherwise we just had too much media. We had 5000 for F13 but this time we hardly have 3 months left until F15 is released. If you are organizing and event and need media, please file a ticket https://fedorahosted.org/emea-swag-tracking If you need more swag, say stickers and t-shirts, file a separate ticket for media and directly assign it to me (cwickert). Thanks, Christoph

600 F14 LiveCD for APAC ambassadors
by Caius 'kaio' Chance 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi APAC Ambassadors, After the LCA 2011 and FAD, I have received 700 Fedora LiveCD from Cheryn Tan (from Red Hat Brisbane office) who participated in LCA 2011 Open Day. The original 1500 discs left about 1200. 200 was carried back by Cheryn for their future events and 200 was brought back by Heherson (azneita) to Philippines. I sent 100 to the ambassador at Adelaide (Australia), Luke. (you can skip the above info if that is too boring. :P) I have 700 F14 LiveCD sitting at my house (Brisbane) and want to get them to APAC FAm asap. Feel free to let me know your demand and let's work out this distribution. PS: When I sent OLPC/XO to Tuan, the battery was not allowed to go via EMS. So, there is a battery here I am still figuring out how to do. K410 -- Regards ☺ Caius 'kaio' Chance Fedora Project Contributor - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kaio [IRC] kaio @ freenode | [Twitter] @K410 | [Blog] kaio.net
