Finance SIG
by Max Spevack 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Just wanted to make sure folks saw the initial announcement of the Finance SIG. Rather than cross-post to many lists, I'd like to encourage people to pick up on the thread over on advisory-board and keep replies on one list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2011-March/010523.h… Thanks, Max

EVENT: Indiana Linux Fest, budget finalized
by Pascal Calarco 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Folks, We haven't had a compelling affirmation for a Fedora Insight FAD on the list, proposed to take place at ILF in three weeks, so in the interest of time and allowing people to get reasonable airfare, I would like to suggest that we not have a Fedora Insight FAD at ILF, and that we go with the budget that we've articulated thus far. In this past week's FAmNA meeting, Ben Williams also expressed interest in attending, and so I added airfare for him. Our itemized budget request is outlined at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/ILF_2011 The total request, with some buffer, is $2200 for six Ambassadors to attend; some of us will also like take part in the DrupalCon which follows the main conference day, on Sunday, March 27. Could I ask FAmSCo to please consider this budget request and let us know ASAP? Many thanks! - pascal

SxSW photobooth awesomeness and its future
by Clint Savage 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

(crosspost: I hope everyone here isn't too upset to possibly get this three times) Hi all, As you probably know, I've been hanging around Fedora for a few years now. I helped improve the events that Fedora attends by creating the Fedora EventBox. It's been going really well, but this week, I saw a big improvement because of just a few people at SxSW. I would like to thank Mo, Emily, Spot, Jared and anyone else who helped make the booth there awesome! If you haven't seen the booth, that's okay, but here's a few pictures of what is going on: http://ping.fm/roiOI - (Guy Kawasaki and Tux) http://fedorapeople.org/groups/photobooth/sxsw-86ada905-3085-4f4c-8bc9-6d04… (another attendee with Tux) All of these and others can be found at http://fedorapeople.org/groups/photobooth/ In our Fedora Ambassadors North America (FAmNA) meeting tonight, I followed-up a short email by Max, asking about what thoughts others had and improvements could be made to make this a regular thing at our events throughout Fedora. I came up with a few things about how we could improve it and make it feasible for North America. I'm sure there are ideas for other regions as well, so feel free to join in the discussion. Now, the reason I figured marketing and design should be involved is that they have a large say in how things are designed and how we tell people why Fedora's important. I think there's an opportunity here for better collaboration too, so please, please, please, feel free to improve upon the ideas I'm going to propose. First off, the photobooth idea is amazing. I'd like to say that we should be doing something similar at every event, encouraging people to get their pic taken at our booth. But making someone where a costume for 2-3 days could be challenging. So I propose we build a portable photo board[1] to include in Event Boxen. Probably of something more goofy, I actually thought the Beefy Miracle[2] would be a good choice, since it's easy to come up with. In addition, one would need a web cam and a dedicated laptop to take the pictures and upload them. This should be an easy to-do. Having a web cam could prove invaluable for other things as well, like doing mini tutorials. Logistically, this could be a bit challenging when you have only an 8'x8' space, but this can be handled pretty easily. One way is to move the table and chairs to one side and stand in the booth, or sit behind (tightly) the table and work from there. The other half of the booth could easily be used to take pictures and show off our cool stuff! But there's more we can do with this, and that's where I think the value lies. For one, it is cool that each participant get's a nice little card printed right there with a QR code so they can go retrieve it. But it would also be nice to let them share their photos on social networking sites like Facebook, identi.ca, foursquare, twitter, etc. I can also see gaining contributors from this concept, in that they are now 'part' of Fedora's legacy. Maybe having them show up on the FedoraProject front page when an event is happening? I seriously think that this is stuff that everyone in Fedora would love. Anyway, I'm sure I have more ideas, but I hope some of you can help with more great ideas that I know I won't. Please help us build a better booth and better Fedora presence at events all over the world! Cheers, Clint PS - Vote for beefy miracle as the F16 code name. That's my pitch, and I'm sticking to it! 1 - http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/photo-board-667243/ 2 - http://beefymiracle.org/

Pictures on Mo's blog show tons of stuff that has never before been at a Fedora booth, and it all looks really good and it looks like SXSW becomes the new bar for Superb Fedora Presence at Top Tier Event. I can't say enough nice things about how the Fedora presence there looks, and the whole SXSW team deserves a ton of credit. --Max
