Need more folks helping at ask fedora
by Ankur Sinha 11 Aug '12

11 Aug '12

Hi folks, I'd like to request more folks to please help at askfedora[1]. Since it's a web forum, more people are comfortable asking their questions here. It makes sense for more community folks to keep a watch on what goes on here, to enable us to know what issues users face, and how we can assist them for a better fedora experience. (Interacting with users is one of our duties as a fedora ambassador. We are the face of fedora, aren't we? :) ) More community folks keeping a watch also ensures _quality_control_: are they being given correct answers? For instance, quite a few solutions that are put forward involve installing third party repositories or compiling from source, WHEN THE PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE IN THE REPOSITORIES. I down vote such answers, but I really cannot keep an eye on all questions asked and answered alone. Please, I implore you to help at askfedora. It's a great tool to help users. However, it is a collaborative source of information, and it is solely our responsibility, as the fedora community, to ensure that askfedora is used correctly and gives out the best information. [1] http://ask.fedoraproject.org -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary. Looking to contribute to Fedora?

[Event Report] Fedora seminar, August 08, 2012 at Jaipur National university, Jaipur
by Akshay Vyas 11 Aug '12

11 Aug '12

=== Report === I had organized a Fedora/Linux seminar at Jaipur National University (Main campus), Jaipur, Rajasthan, India on Wednesday, August 08,2012. All attendees were graduate students in computer science. They were all familiar with some basic programming languages, and operating systems, but most of them were new to Linux. The whole two hour session was lecture based with some tutorials. In the first half, I started with 26 reasons why we should use Linux and open source software, and how it is a superior choice for academics. I then demonstrated the installation of Fedora 17, and told them more about RPM, and how to use yum and RPM to install packages on Fedora, and introduced them to the different desktop environments. In the second half, I showed them how to easily install a file sharing server for home and named it as "Install file sharing server in 5 mins with Fedora". I also provided them with Fedora 17 dvd iso for i686 and x86_64. Some robotics students asked for Fedora 17 robotics spin. I told them that I would try to provide the robotics spin as soon as possible. Finally the whole two hour session ended up with some questions from attendees who faced some problems while using Fedora. === END === Akshay vyas (http://www.gofedora.in) Fedora Project's Contributor (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Akshayvyas29) (akshayvyas(a)irc.freenode.net)

by Dan Mashal 07 Aug '12

Hello, We are currently in the planning phases for Fedora Ambassador Day North America and we would love to have everyone's ideas, thoughts, voices, and input included in the planning phase. If you are interested in this subject and/or attending please attend the next FAmNA meeting in #fedora-meeting on freenode IRC on Tuesday, August 7th at 6PM PDT, 9PM EDT. Locations: If you have a location to propose please do so here: https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/36 Please note that "Anytown, USA because it's nice" is not an acceptable proposal. Please include dates. Usually a Thursday through Sunday weekend and most likely a month before the release date of Spherical Cow (Fedora 18), an actual physical location for sessions to be held, nearby airports and transportation, people who will be available locally to provide hospitality and transportation to Ambassadors that are attending from out of town, places for them to stay and any other logistic related things important to have your location proposal taken seriously. Agenda: Please suggest some constructive topics you would like to have discussed i.e. new features in Fedora 18, use cases, specific technical sessions (for example in 2009 they did an Asterisk session). We would like to organize a well planned, memorable, fun, and interesting event for everyone involved so please do reply to this email thread with any thoughts you may have if you cannot attend the meeting on Tuesday. Please also review the following links as a reference before making comments: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassador_Day_North_America_2012 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Fedora_Talk_2009 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Fedora_Talk_2009_game_plan And update the following links accordingly with your input: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassador_Day_North_America_2012 https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/36 Thanks, Dan
