FAmSCo Report: May 2012
by Igor Pires Soares 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hello FAms! FAmSCo May report is now available on the wiki. Check it out: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAmSCo_report_2012-05 I recommend the next FAmSCo members to look into the reporting process in order to make it better. The biggest difficulty of making such reports right now is finding updated data on information sources. This term we simplified a lot how those reports are made. They are now more straightforward and easier to compose but the process still needs to be improved. Another ways of reporting FAmSCo activity would be a nice improvement as well. I'm pretty sure the new FAmSCo members will keep improving the reports of the committee activity continuously improving the transparency. All the best to the new FAmSCo! See ya! -- Igor Pires Soares Fedora Ambassador (Brazil) - Member of FAmSCo Fedora I18N/L10N QA https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Igor

Wrapping up some SELF details and FAD @ SELF? Anyone?
by Robyn Bergeron 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Greetings, ambassadors coming to SELF: Three things: First: For the love of all things beefy, please, put your name on the SELF wiki page if you have not done so already: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SELF_2012 There are multiple sections - for "if you're planning to booth," giving a presentation, if you want to share when you arrive/depart, etc. This is very helpful information to have. Second: If you are unsure of your ride details from airports or etc., please start sorting them out now. Third: We have a room available to us on Sunday at SELF in which I was thinking it might be nice to Get Something Done, but I wanted to feel out who was interested in participating, etc before finalizing anything. This is basically a "we can get a few things done in a couple hours with who we have on hand" type fad, not a "haul everyone in" kind of fad :) Some thoughts: * Marketing FAD (Assess current state of marketing collateral, plan for F18 and beyond) * Finance FAD (Take a look at finance approval processes and perhaps come up with something new; talk about current state of budget, etc) * Plan FAMNA FAD, FAD (Make a plan for what we might want to accomplish at a North American Ambassador FAD) * ?????????? Your suggestions here Anyhoo: I made a wiki page, here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_at_SELF_2012 Feel free to add your name if you're interested in Doing Something. -Robyn

[Event Report] Fedora Activity Day, June 2, 2012 @ Red Hat, Pune
by Shakthi Kannan 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hi, A Fedora Activity Day [1] (FAD) was organized on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at the Red Hat office premises in Pune, India. This was an activity based event, where there were no talks. The various topics suggested during the FAD included development, packaging, and documentation work. The newbies worked on GNU Hello RPM packaging [2], while others worked on pushing updates to existing packages, and packaging new software. I had submitted a new Csmith [3] package release for review, and packaged and submitted sized-types [4], and netlist-to-vhdl [5] Haskell packages for review. Lakshmi Narasimhan completed the package review for sized-types. I had requested Fedora Infrastructure to make Agilo for Trac [6] (Apache license) available. It was made available for testing during the FAD, and I tested the same with the Fedora Electronic Lab [7] trac instance. All the Agilo plugins are now enabled in the trac for use. We also had an F17 release party during the event, where Rahul Sundaram cut a beautiful, tasty, F17 cake. Thanks to Red Hat for hosting the event, sponsoring the lunch, and providing the facilities for the FAD.

FAmNA Meeting Announcement (05 June 2012)
by inode0 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Please join us for our weekly FAmNA meeting this Tuesday at 9:00pm Eastern in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net. I'd like to remind everyone that it is important for us to get some work accomplished at these meetings and staying on the topic is important to that end. All comments are welcome from ambassadors during the meetings but please wait until the Open Floor to add any subject matter not included in the meeting agenda via a ticket. Feel free to add to the agenda. The easy way to add an agenda item is described at the bottom of this announcement. Especially if you have an event coming up that needs some attention. This week we will focus on cleaning up any outstanding issues for SELF. That is urgent as SELF will begin is just a few more days. We also want to deal with any Red Hat Summit planning that we can take care of before that event creeps up on us. A third topic, FADNA organization, is on the agenda but I don't plan to spend much time on it beyond making sure we are all on the same page about what it is and how we should proceed in planning and organizing it. == Meeting Agenda == === Announcements === Time for brief announcements. * Voting in Fedora Elections closes at 23:59:59 UTC on the June 7. Please take time to consider the candidates and vote. === Tickets === Tickets scheduled for discussion at this meeting can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/famna/report/9 Please read through each ticket in advance so you can be prepared to discuss them at the meeting. === Open Floor === Unscheduled topics can be raised during the open floor if time permits. Discussion of any topic will generally be more productive if participants know about the topics in advance and have some time to think about them, so please add your topics to the meeting agenda in the ticket system when possible. If you would like to add a topic for discussion at our meetings please open a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ and set its milestone to meeting. Thanks, John
