Call for Fedora 23 release events
by Jiri Eischmann 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hi, as everyone knows the Fedora 23 release date is just around the corner; should be released next week (fingers crossed!). It's time to plan release events. If you're planning to organize a release event, please add it to the list: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F23_release_events Support in the form of funding and swag depends on regions. Contact the regional Fedora Ambassadors community to find out more. The design team has also prepared a poster to help you promote the event: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/404 Jiri

Fedora t-shirts for users
by Jiri Eischmann 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi, as I said at Flock, I'd like to make t-shirts who would not only be for contributors, but also for users. At events such as FOSDEM, we meet a lot of loyal, long-term users who beg us for t-shirts. We cannot sell them, but we give them away in limited numbers (say <= per one large event). I've asked Masha of the design team to make some design for us. And here are some mockups: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/406 I'd like to hear from others how they like them or if they have different suggestions. Jiri

Some FUDCon Pune reimbursements pending
by Amit Shah 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hi Ruth, To reduce your load a bit, we had assigned a few tickets to Izhar for reimbursement. However, Izhar's tickets haven't been reimbursed yet. Is it fine if I re-assign them all to you, so that you can do the reimbursements? On a related note, we'd also like to request an additional community card in APAC so that such reimbursements don't wait indefinitely. If that's fine, we can nominate one of us for such a card. Please let us know. Thanks, Amit -- http://log.amitshah.net/

Procuring and distributing DVDs in APAC
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 07 Nov '15

07 Nov '15

Hi, I did this for a couple of releases and Amit asked me to write a wiki doc to describe how I went about it. Here it is: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/APAC/DVD_procurement_for_APAC_in… It's well timed too since it looks like I won't be able to do this for F23 given that I am traveling. Please cc and refer me on requests (sid AT reserved-bit DOT com or siddhesh AT fedoraproject DOT org) since it might help get the same good rates that we have been getting in the past releases.

F23 media production (in EMEA)
by Jiri Eischmann 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi, Fedora 23 is just around corner and we haven't discussed media production yet. For F22, produced 2,000 Workstation DVDs and 1,000 Alternative Desktops DVDs. A couple of facts: * the minimal amount to order is 1,000 * 2,000 DVDs of Workstation was just enough for this cycle, we ran out of them just a couple of weeks before a new release, we still have a couple of hundred of Alternative Desktops ones though. * unit price if you produce 1,000 is 40% higher than if you produce 2,000. We can go with the same amounts again, at the regional meeting, someone suggested that we should go with a lower amount. In this case, it would make sense to only produce the minimal amount of Workstation ones. Status of DVD alternatives: * USB sticks are still >10x more expensive than DVDs unfortunately, they're faulty and too slow to load. Not an option to fully replace DVDs nowadays. * we've released a 'Getting Started with Fedora' handbook, it doesn't include any media with Fedora, but tells users how to create one and provides much more info about Fedora. And it's very close to DVDs price-wise: https://eischmann.wordpress.com/2015/10/14/getting-started-with-fedora-hand… Opinions, ideas? Jiri
