Some budget questions
by Christoph Wickert 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Dear FAmSCo, I have some questions regarding our budget: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAmSCo_report_2011-02 lists $3,780 for F13 media production in EMEA. AFAIC we paid 3665 EUR, but this is more than $3,780. On the other hand, the same wiki page lists $7,980 for F14 media. I guess this is the total budget that was approved, but according to the ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/ticket/91 it was 5000 EUR. Even with the all time high of the EUR we are currently seeing this is hardly more than $7000. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/SXSW_2011 says that 5,880 media of the design spin were produced. AFAIK media production is handled by the ambassadors and the budget is approved by FAmSCo, but I cannot find anything about this in the wiki. Who ordered the media and who approved the budget? To me these numbers are really confusing and I wonder if there is a way how to make things more transparent. Regards, Christoph

F14 32-bit LiveCDs available still
by Harish Pillay 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi. I still have about 400 pcs of F14 liveCDs (32-bit) available and will be able to ship them out ASAP. Email me privately with: a) your shipping address b) a phone # Do tell me if there will be issues with the customs in getting these shipped to you for I have had a couple of shipments that got returned and hence wasted the monies. Thanks. -- Harish Pillay h.pillay(a)ieee.org gpg id: 746809E3

FUDCon Milan 2011 BID
by Francesco Crippa 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hi guys, I'm very happy to have the opportunity to propose Milan as city to host next FUDCon EMEA! As you probably know the Italian Fedora community is very active, and everyone really likes to bring a major event like FUDCon in our country. I've crated a page on the wiki with all the information for the bid: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Milan_2011 We have a kind of general agreement for the venue (University of Milan) and the professor in charge of Free Software is interested in helping us to setup the event. Let me know if you need more information Hope to see you soon (maybe in Italy!!!) :-) Take care Francesco -- -------------------------------------------- Francesco Crippa

TXLF Last call for funding.
by Adam Miller 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Last call for TXLF funding, travel reimbursements, and lodging. Anyone wanting to go to TXLF and obtain sponsorship needs to reply to this email thread in the next 48 hours and explicitly list out exactly what you need in order to be able to attend. I have been told that there is no way to offer funding in advance but depending on the requirement of out of town ambassadors for advanced funding I might be able to afford to front you the money, collect your receipts and get reimbursed later. So *please* specify all your needs and your estimated travel costs based on your milage. Also, please post the information on the wiki page for public transparency. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Texas:LinuxFest_2011 Thank you, -AdamM

Need a co-speaker to present a paper in Linux Tag
by Buddhike Kurera 27 Mar '11

27 Mar '11

Hello, I submitted a paper for Linus Tag conference which is going to be held in Germany. The paper was approved, but with travel expenses it is not possible for me to come to German. Can any interested FAm please present my talk behalf of me. A German FAm is preferred. This is a great opportunity for Fedora to show that how it's members work on different different areas. Please let me know soon as I need to send speakers details soon. The details of the paper can be find below. ==Short Abstract== " FOSS business model was developed and emerged into the market and is proven as a good entrepreneur strategy. The contribution of the community can be organized in an effective way to get the maximum support. This approach helps communities to organize itself and contribute meaningfully and effectively towards the development of FOSS. Community based FOSS business model could explain how this can be achieved.
