Please take a few minutes to review the trademark guidelines. These apply to everyone although there are some special considerations given to ambassadors when they are representing the Fedora Project in various capacities. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines In particular I'd like to draw your attention to the section on promotional events where ambassadors are not required to obtain prior permission to use the Fedora trademarks described here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines?rd=Legal/Trademar… Note that the sort of event that falls into this category is limited as described in the guidelines. This is not meant to discourage ambassadors from participating in any other sort of event but in order to use the Fedora trademarks in conjunction with other events please do request permission before doing so. Thanks, John

Revised Report
by A. Mani 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Here is the more detailed report: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events/CFD-India%272013#Event_Report Report on Poster Competition on Womens and LGBT Issues This will be one competition that provoked plenty of debate on methodology and scope of targeted awareness programs. The idea was definitely supported by large sections of the FOSS and many other communities, but some had strong reservations. We did not have too many submissions though, the number of submissions were less than the available prizes. So all eligible submissions were awarded prizes. These were all submitted by the 13th. The extension of dates, modified 'positive' text and publicity did not help in getting any new submissions The prizes included Live Fedora design and TexLive'2013 in the Flash drives and the winners are C. Srividya Ani Dalal The submitted posters are available on the site gallery under CCSA license. The posters were made with GIMP and Inkscape mainly. Ani Dalal's was done in GIMP only with custom brushes. There were differences in the technical quality of submissions as can be seen from the exhibits. Participants were asked to describe the intended representation of the posters. The ideas chosen were simple and direct. Ani Dalal's poster uses a clever interplay of an image of two people holding hands with a large amount of anti-discrimination related words layered optimally over it. It is intended to suggest "freedom and courage, and dawn of a new world, a better world for all, irrespective of their gender or any other form of discrimination." Srividya's first poster carried the message that LGBT people are humans and that humans should be respected irrespective of their gender or sexual orientation. Srividya's second poster is intended as a simple call for a change in the culture associated with free software through the involvement of women in all stages of its existence. Many women have achieved much in the free software world, why don't more women get involved? The publicity of the event went into various new Google+ community, sociopolitical discussion groups, reddit and social channels (apart from FOSS channels). This by itself must have helped in increasing awareness about FOSS tools. There is a difference between a person who asserts "I know Fedora and GIMP" and one who asserts "I have not heard of free software". We had many positive comments all through in these channels. Some of the ways in which the impact of events like these can be improved are: We should have conducted online courses on the free software tools before the competition. The language of the target community should be accommodated in a better way. Unfortunately differences within the organizing committee led to fairly placid approach. The earlier version of the background text could potentially help people with repressed sexualities (that arguably constitute a overwhelming majority) as well. For events like these it is important to work on addressing closeted people and groups in hostile environment. As it is the disparate real communities or persons in the abstract LGBT community are extremely alienated from Indian society and even if people want to participate, they may not be bold enough to do so. All things considered, this stands as a good community effort! ________________________________________ Best A. Mani -- A. Mani CU, ASL, AMS, CLC, CMS http://www.logicamani.in

Fwd: FUEL GILT Conference 2013 - Call for Papers
by Rajesh Ranjan 10 Jul '13

10 Jul '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rajesh Ranjan <rajesh672(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 6:05 PM Subject: FUEL GILT Conference 2013 - Call for Papers To: "fuel-discuss(a)lists.fedorahosted.org" < fuel-discuss(a)lists.fedorahosted.org> Hi All, First of all I would like to thank the entire FUEL Project community for their greater contributions to the success of the initiative we started five years ago. With the help of community volunteers and organizations we have achieved remarkable milestones through our journey till date. Building the language standards in the open source and making it freely available in the open domain is one of our motto behind starting FUEL Project. Our objective is to establish a common and universal platform to support continued development and adherence of GILT standards by building the consensus for it's development, establishment and promotion with the help of community and organizations working towards the aim of democratization of content and wider awareness and acceptance of these standards. The FUEL GILT Conference 2013 is being organized by Red Hat and C-DAC GIST. In this conference we are gathering industry localization experts, linguists, internationalization engineers, testing professionals working towards language technologies. Participants would get a chance to network all the localization experts working in the industry as well as able to grab more opportunities available in this domain. There would be learning for the beginner localizers as well. Keeping these objectives in mind we have identified following tracks for the papers: 1. Globalization, Language and Translations (Something that showcase the importance of language, culture, it's role in the modern life, etc.) 2. Standards: Linguistic resource (work towards Terminology, Glossary, Dictionary, Style Guide, Unicode, CLDR, FUEL Modules, Script Grammar, etc would lead into this category of development.) 3. Tools & Technologies (An effort in the direction of development of translation management systems, Rendering Systems, Quality Assessment tools, Fonts, Input Methods, etc. would lead into this category.) 4. Localization in FOSS (The volunteer localization efforts in the FOSS world, how they contribute, what they contribute, etc would fall in this track.) 5. Open Track (Anything related to GILT and relevant matter could also be considered provided we get a space to allocate you a slot.) For more details about the conference, its venue, registration and paper submission please visit here: http://fuelproject.org/gilt2013/index Please feel free to write to us if you need any information regarding the conference. Thanks! -- Regards, Rajesh Ranjan *FUEL GILT Conference 2013* http://fuelproject.org/gilt2013/index -- Regards, Rajesh Ranjan *FUEL GILT Conference 2013* http://fuelproject.org/gilt2013/index
