Is anyone else considering attending this event? http://2012.texaslinuxfest.org/ I have a talk accepted but I haven't quite decided whether I'll be going or not. Some other Fedora people helping out would be something that would encourage me to go. :) John

Some ambassador map corrections
by Ankur Sinha 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

Hi folks, Here's a list of folks who's positions seem erroneous on the Ambassadors map (to me). Please correct your lat/longs :) This list is *not* exhaustive. I've just checked up folks around Asia. Some folks in this list may have correctly positioned themselves, i.e, working abroad etc. but I expect some to be wrongly positioned too: > Name|Listed Location|Positioned in > Brian Pepple|United States|China > Karsten Wade|United States|China > Ivan Pacheco Martínez|Mexico|Off Myanmar/Thailand > Felipe Aranda G.|Chile|Around Afganistan > Luis Enrique Bazán De León|Panama|Sri Lanka > juan sebastian cobaleda cano|Columbia|Off Sri Lanka > Diego Escobar|Columbia|Maldives > Mel Chua|United States|Off Uzbekistan > Jeff Sandys|United States|China > Luya Tshimbalanga|Canada|China > Tim Casey|Australia|Off Japan > Jose Mathew Manimala|India|New Zealand > > I'm still not sure what's causing this. It could be missing decimals or +/- signs etc. in FAS. I expect folks to use this map, so it's important that the data be correct. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary. Looking to contribute to Fedora?

My FAmSCo goals - please help!
by Christoph Wickert 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Hi there, Jiri already sent a mail about his goals last week [1], and you may wonder what all this is about. So before I tell you a little bit about my goals, let me tell you a little bit about where this idea comes from. At the end of 2010, the Fedora board decided to agree on "strategic goals" for Fedora, so they can focus their work in 2011. When we looked back at what had happened with these goals one year later at FUDCon Blacksburg, we realized that hardly anything was achieved [2]. The problem was that the goals were noble, but very abstract and progress was hard to measure. It was impossible to really reach them and for an individual, there was not much to do as every problem required a lot of people to overcome it. So we decided to try something different. Each board member picked their own goals. Something to work on and something that can be achieved. We don't tell anybody what do to or let, but by championing our own goals, we lead by example. Every board member is to show the community what they want to work on and how they approach a problem. This can encourage others to help or to work on their own projects. As FAmSCo chair, I suggested that we do the same for all FAmSCo members. I told everybody to pick 2-3 goal and present it on the ambassadors mailing list. Our goals don't necessarily need to benefit the ambassadors, but of course it would be nice if they did. Here is what I have come up with so far: 1. Improve budget management: We want to make payments for our contributors easier and faster. Budget needs to be more transparent. We want to move decisions from FAmSCo to the local communities. Reporting for credit card holders needs to become easier. We are working on all this for a while already but hardly made any progress, because there are big changes inside of Red Hat. It is unclear who will manage our budget in the future and we don't even have exact figures of our spending in the last year. So as soon as there is some progress, we can start working on this. We already set up a new trac instance 2. Improve the elections: I have been spending a lot of work on the new FAmSCo election guidelines and I want to continue with this because I think there is still a lot to be improved. Even if we have the best guidelines ever, we can improve, participation , documentation and the process. My goal is to have one simple and streamlined election process for the whole Fedora project. 3. Solve conflicts about local communities: As FAmSCo chair, I received a lot of mails about conflicts in various local communities. I was asked to make a decision, but frankly speaking I cannot. I am willing to help and to act as a middlemen, but it is not on me to decide who gets a certain domain or not. Instead of solving these conflicts one by one it is better to think about how we want to deal with them. Maybe the Fedora community working group can help? I don't know, but I continue to work on it. If you like my ideas, I would appreciate your help. If you don't like them, I am looking forward to your feedback. And if you have more ideas how to make the Fedora community a better place, lets discuss them. Kind regards, Christoph [1] http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/ambassadors/2012-June/019854.html [2] http://www.christoph-wickert.de/blog/2012/01/15/board-goals-2011-retrospect…
