FAmSCo calls for F18 release parties!
by Jiri Eischmann 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Hi, we're just a few weeks away from the release of long awaited Fedora 18 and we have just a few registered release parties: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F18_release_events APAC has done a good job, but EMEA has only one release party currently, and LATAM and NA not a single one. Fedora 18 is going to be a great release and release parties are a great opportunity to show the release to users. They're really important from from the marketing perspective and are usually a lot of fun, too. That's why FAmSCo would like to encourage you to organize one in your city, university,... Fedora Project can help you cover costs related to release party organizing and don't forget that FAmSCo has announced a contest in which organizers of the best release party in each region will be given $80 to have a nice dinner. Jiri on behalf of FAmSCo

This week's meeting leader: Sarah White == Meeting Agenda == === Announcements === Time for brief announcements. === Orientation Topics === After giving this some thought I have concluded there is way too much material for one meeting so we'll add one or two topics each week until we have everything covered.

FAD EMEA wrap up
by Christoph Wickert 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Hi there, it turns out we have to leave early. Some people need to travel home and others have family duties, or both. Fortunately we worked hard and managed to complete our agenda. For now, I just put all the results, todo items and open questions into the wiki at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:FAD_EMEA_2012 It’s still a rough draft, I will clean it up, format and elaborate it later today. Some of the most important decisions include: * Event planning for 2013. We want to attend 31 events, and for most of them we already have event owners. * Budget planning for 2013. Based on the list of events, we’ll spend 11.700 EUR. Sure, this is a lot of money, but we want really to rock at a lot of places and our draft is very conservative. * Sponsoring and reimbursements: While FAmSCo has already achieved a lot, we need to do a better job in explaining contributors how to get money easily and how to effectively track all requests. * Swag shipping and event box: We think it does not make sense to ship a complete event box within Europe, instead continue shipping what we really need. But this needs improvements: Better tracking of who has what and more ‘bases’ in different countries. * Swag production planning: We have a lot of new ideas for awesome swag and need to follow up with getting different quotes and making decisions. * Fedora Ambassadors Census. In previous years, we used to do this before this FAD: We ask all the local communities to report their state: How many (active) ambassadors are there, how many events did they attend and what is the overall situation for them. * New ways to bring people into the project. We have communities that are not officially part of the project, like local community websites, IRC channels or groups on social networks. We should actively try to recruit new contributors there. * Improve the new contributors experience: Once they joined Fedora, we should make sure new ambassadors can attend at least one major event to get to know other contributors. Mentors should have an eye on how people do within the first year and support them better. * Country-wide ambassadors event: All countries should strive for an event that brings all ambassadors to a table at least once a year. Still, the real work begins after this FAD. We need to implement what we discussed, whether this is in the wiki, in trac or on various events. But we have gotten a new boost for our community and we are very optimistic that it will have a big impact. Thanks everybody for coming and especially to Gerold for making this event happen. Kind regards, Christoph
