FUDCon Kuala Lumpur Event reports are still pending
by Ankur Sinha 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hiya folks! Even though the conference is over, there's still work to be done :) I've already announced a wiki page[1] that lists all presentations/posts/photos/videos related to FUDCon KL. Please add your entries there. There were quite a few of us there, and the wiki page doesn't reflect that in magnitude yet :P Please upload your presentations to archive.org as well and add the link on the wiki page. Do remember to tag all your work with 'fudconkl2012' (photos, presentations, vidoes, blogs). That will make it easy to find. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:KualaLumpur_2012/Reports_photos_and_p… -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/

Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAmSCo elections: Town hall meeting schedule
by Robyn Bergeron 23 May '12

23 May '12

As you have (hopefully) heard by now, elections for the Fedora Board, FESCo, and FAmSCo are quickly approaching. In each election cycle, a series of town hall meetings is held to give community members and opportunity to ask candidates questions - and hear their answers - via IRC. The town hall schedule for the upcoming election is as follows: Fedora Project Board: * Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at 17:00 UTC * Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 20:00 UTC FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee): * Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 17:00 UTC * Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 20:00 UTC FAmSCo (Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee): * Sunday, May 27, 2012 at 16:00 UTC * Monday, May 28 at 17:00 UTC Not sure what time that is? Use a handy-dandy time zone calculator to find out when to show up: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html Important information about how you can participate in the town halls via IRC, as well as the details of each town hall meeting, can be seen on the wiki here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections#IRC_Town_Halls Additional details about the upcoming elections, including who the candidates are and the schedule for elections, can be seen here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Elections IRC town halls are a great and interesting way to get to know the candidates for the various bodies. I encourage you to come and participate, and bring your questions! Cheers, -Robyn

by Caius Chance 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hi, I am very happy to share the news of establishment - "Fedora Chinese Community" on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fedora.chinese/ Created by our Fedora Ambassador from Taiwan: Cheng-Chia. This group is the first and will be the main contact platform on facebook for Fedora users who uses Chinese language. Feel free to join even you are not Chinese spoken and communicate in English. For the posts that you cannot read you please use translation web services. :) There are many other platforms for Fedora/Linux/OSS communities in greater China area, but facebook should provide a positive effect to the growth of fedora popularity in such area. Regards, kaio

A tech for bleeding edge
by Onyeibo Oku 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hi everyone, Has anyone seen this: http://live.leapmotion.com/about/ I hope someone in fedora-devel is peeking and poking into that SDK. I don't like it when M$ gets an implementation before the open-source community. Sorry if this is off-scope (we're ambassadors, I know). Just felt we have enough guys spanning groups of all kinds. This is a worthy research area. Too bad I didn't do Computer Science. :( Regards Onyeibo

Beefy Miracle 1.5 round button final draft
by Sarah White 21 May '12

21 May '12

Hello, I've finished the Beefy Miracle button per the feedback recieved during last week's FamNA meeting. The graphic is attached to the following ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/32 I've provided a true too size graphic, and a scaled up graphic (labeled scaled :)) so you don't have to squint. In summary, I made the following modifications: Made text more defined by eliminating the script style and replacing it with a (heavily) modied HvD comic serif font per gnokii's recommendation. I also outlined the text in black to match the relish. Moved the words closer together. Removed the glow behind the hot dog. Added more bits of relish in the 'air'. Put a shadow on the relish in the background/beneath hotdog. Added a slight highlight to the perimeter of the core (yellow) Beefy Miracle text. Feedback was split about 50/50 regarding which background color was prefered. In this case, I chose a white background. If we end up doing another order of the buttons later in the year, maybe we'll change it to green. If it causes you to have seizures or I've misspelled any word, please let me know. Otherwise, I will be ordering the buttons tomorrow. Next question: When I order the buttons, should I ship them to me or to a RedHat office? I have no problem repackaging and shipping the buttons to event box masters or other swag distributors. I'm also happy to meetup and do a hand off with anyone in the Baltimore or Washington DC area who is going to SELF. However, if you live in NoVA I require beer, cake, and probably a promise to forever refer to me as the Queen of the Universe in order to get me to swing around the northwest-west side of the beltway. Cheers, Sarah White (graphite6)
