Fedora 17 Release Party - Surakarta, Indonesia
by Arif Tri Waluyo 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Hi fellows, I plan to hold a Fedora 17 release party, this is actually my first time. I asked for help on a local linux group to do so. So I'm optimistic the party will go smoothly. I need funds for the event. I plan to make it locally, but if there is a suggestion. I would appreciate it. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F17_Surakarta Thanks and Regards Arif Tri Waluyo https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Arifiauo

Fedora 17 Release Party - Dhaka, Bangladesh.
by mak 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Dear All, As we know, Fedora 17 is available for initial Public test,[0] thanks to Dennis for the announcement; we from Bangladesh want to plan our release party with plenty of time in hand to make it a successful event. In fact it's a initiative from Rejaul[2] and Kingheart[3]; they both separately pinged me and later I discussed with imtiaz[4] bhai. All four of us agreed to arrange a medium sized event. First I opted for an event outside of the Capital city, but Kingheart insisted to arrange this big one in Dhaka and later we can have an extended version in Chittagong and Khulna (the other cities of Bangladesh). I'm initiating this thread for all other Bangladeshi Ambassadors and User to discuss Date, Venue and other issues of the event. For the time being Rejaul enlisted our event in Fedora wiki.[1] A tentative date, venue is written in the wiki as a placeholder along with a possible activities. Let us discuss more to make these more convenient. I've opened a Facebook event[5] page to invite friends. *a personal note from me, I'm going to love 'Beefy Miracle' - already found the alpha release have a single window mode GIMP 2.8; it's going to be fun. :)* regards mak_ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mak [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F17_Alpha_release_announcement [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F17_release_events#APAC [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rejaul [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kingheart [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Imtiaz [5] http://on.fb.me/Fedora17Dhaka

[EMEA] To have a static meeting page proposal
by Kévin Raymond 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi all, Tonight at the meeting we started discussing about this topic, keeping the current process or moving to a simpler one. Actually, we have our meeting in the following format: wiki/Meeting:EMEA_Ambassadors_YYYY-MM-DD with a page template like in [1]. If we move to a single wiki page, like wiki/Meeting:EMEA_Ambassadors, we could gain some advantages: - Don't need to look for the meeting URL on the meeting reminder, as it would be static - Easy to check when is going to be the next meeting from the static page - The agenda is not so different each time, we could edit it each time to add/remove topics - We could add a generic link to all our meeting minutes, thanks to meetbot. Like in [2]. For this to be efficient, we *need* to name the meeting exactly the same each time (i.e. #startmeeting EMEA Ambassadors). - We could use this static page to link if we setup a cron for our reminder (as done on several other teams, like docs). (cron is good!) The point that Christoph see is when we want to look for special resolution or subject. Now it is quite easy using a search engine on the wiki. But if instead of just sending the logs on the mailing list[3] we also copy the summary[4], we will only have to look on our mailbox. The mailing list application[5] will probably help also. Do you guys see an other advantage to keep ou current process? Or to move with a static meeting page?

Improving swag shipping and production
by Christoph Wickert 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi all, I hope you remember the Ambassadors survey Ankur started a while back [1]. One of the results was that many ambassadors have problems getting swag. This includes both production as well as shipping. FAmSCo wants to address this issue and we need your help here. We opened a ticket [2] and invited people who are involved in the swag business to provide feedback. We already had some good ideas such as a 'swag wrangler' for each region, but it turns out that so far most of that feedback comes from regions where swag shipping and production work - or at least the people who are doing it, think so. Therefor I'd like to hear something from the regions where there are problems and the people who complained. When you reply, please state 1. where you are from (Country) 2. what problems do you have exactly (too slow, too expansive, ...) 3. How often did you have these problems (once, sometimes, every time) Last but not least: Let's not point figures at each other, but collect feedback to make things better. So please don't say "Foo is an idiot because he did not send bar in time" :) Kind regards, Christoph [1] http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/survey-report.pdf [2] https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/ticket/250
