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

Idea for a documentary
by Paul RJ Mellors 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hello All I've had an idea...... You may have seen the linux movie "Revolution OS" or the documentaries of Michael Moore, but as far as i'm aware, there has never been a documentary highlighting the history of the Fedora operating system, from the cores to the current implimentation [f14 and f15 alpha at time of writing]. With the help of people all around the world, i hope to achieve this. I've setup an ideas page here - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Documentary Do you want to get involved? Do you have an idea that will make this project pop? Add it to the page. I've done nothing other that write the wiki page, so nothing is planned or set in stone, i'd just like ideas/feedback etc. This could be cool :) Cheers Paul 'MooDoo' Mellors

Wrong technical advice? is this because of the discussion with that "Cristoph" guy? Oh!, never tought there were this kind of intolerant people inside the Linux Communities Ecosystem... Did you read all the Mails? First of all, the technical advise I give to people is always tested first by me and I always explain what it does, PROS, CONS, everything. The people have a choice, I always ensure they knowing what they're doing, and my advices work! But okey... ¿Microsoft and Flash posts? (Oh yeah, this is because of the Cristoph guy...) Well, my "Windows 7 post" was created because I tought some fedora users with VM's might be interested in knowing how to tweak the horrible appereance of seven in their VM's, because THERE ARE Fedora users with Windows 7 in their VM's, I'm one of them. Flash posts? Of course I make flash posts... Any "Normal user", no matter what platform they use, USE FLASH you know? Sorry, but "Gnash" it's not mature enough... I just want to say, Why would I advice my users to use something that don't fit their needs because it's "more free" than other alternative? People have CHOICE, and that's why they use Linux, Windows, MacOS, or don't know, they wear jeans some days... I don't want to be a Fedora Ambassador if it means "become intolerant and a radical fanatic of free software, telling people to avoid using their choice right"... Some people talk about Linux trolls, communty segmentation, Hate Between users, but if I came to Fedora is because I tought here, the thing would be different that the way the world is used to see Linux communities... I'm kinda dissapointed with what I found... I use Linux because I love freedom and of course free software, But freedom isn't about telling people what to do in their own benefit (example use Linux instead of Windows, because last one is crap or: Linux User, Use Gnash because Flash and Adobe are enemies of our philosophy) Freedom, for me, is about having a Choice of do with your life whatever you want watching not to hurt other's freedom... Thinking of Freedom like "Using only Free software and avoiding talking about our enemies" as some people like stallman does, is kinda fascist. As I said in other mail to the Cristoph guy: it's like criticizing a gay couple with children because they're different than your family or not talking/talking bad things about someone just because he/she do not has your same religious beliefs and you think you're right and he/she is not. In the moment you attack other people because of the choices they made or even if you get angry because of that, it doesn't matter how "free" your cause is, because, due to your radicalism you're shrinking people's freedom without even realizing it. Fascism has drove humankind to their darkest hours in their history, with characters like Hitler. Respect the lifes of other members and having a little more open mind would be the first principle/rule of ANY Linux Community, Because Linux is about REAL FREEDOM, Not the definition of Freedon that a little group of radical people have... I'm not going to be a Fedora Ambassador to tell the people to shrink their freedom. I WANT to be a Fedora Ambassador to tell them, "You have Choice, Use Linux and Fedora"... What is happening here with me, it's kinda unfair, but not going to argue with people that don't even Know me... Have a Nice Day. P.S. Yep, Maria Told me, I Tried to delete the post from the planet but I wasn't able to do That... Nobody told me how to do that, cristoph guy and now you just sat on their chairs and start throwing this crap at me... All this "filth" is coming to me in hard times in my life right now, many bad luck and problems lately, I don't even want to fight you anymore... GoodBye. -- <-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

F14 media - last orders
by Christoph Wickert 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Last orders please... If you need F14 media for an event in EMEA, you should order them ASAP! I have finished the primary distribution to the anchor points in Belgium (Bert), Greece (Pierros) and Hungary (Zoltan) and only have 390 media left. A good amount of them are needed for Linuxtag in May, so actually left over are about 150 I'd say. If you NEED media, please and assign it either to me or one of the anchor people. Look at If you HAVE media, please make sure to update the inventory so people know they can get them from you.
