FAD EMEA 2016 - Call for bids
by Zacharias Mitzelos 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hello everyone, It's time to start planning for our annual EMEA FAD! The EMEA FAD is an annual planning event for the EMEA community. Active ambassadors from various countries get together to discuss what activities we should do in the next year, what events to attend, and what swag to produce. The main outcome of this event is the EMEA budget proposal for the next fiscal year which includes a list of events we will spend money on, Fedora media production, and swag production. This 2-day event is usually hosted in early December, and we don't have a location yet, so I'd like to ask you all to consider submitting a bid for a potential location to host the EMEA FAD this year. The German community was organizing these FADs over the past few years., and you can get an idea from the previous FADs: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Rheinland_2014 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Rheinfelden_2013 There is also a FAD wiki template that you can use to organize your proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Template:FAD Please post a link of your proposal here. Thanks, Zacharias -- Zacharias Mitzelos <mitzie at mitzelos dot com> mitzie on freenode http://zacharias.mitzelos.com

Let's equip our Communities in EMEA
by Giannis Konstantinidis 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hello everyone, during the last EMEA irc meeting, I proposed that we should make sure all active communities within our region are equipped with basic booth equipment such as roll-up banners and tableclothes. Currently, there is just one or two tableclothes for the whole region. Not every community has its own roll-up banners and while some do, these are not anymore in a proper working condition (e.g. colors have started fading out, stands are showing signs of heavy use). Spending budget on such an initiative can be considered a good investment, since the equipment produced will last for years and will enable our communities to look overall more professional when representing the project during events and conferences. We still have a significant amount of the current fiscal year's budget unspent and we can definitely use some of it. Does your community lack some booth equipment? Please visit the following wiki page and let us know: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/Community_Equipment Ideas, thoughts, feedback? -Giannis -- Giannis Konstantinidis giannis(a)konstantinidis.cc http://konstantinidis.cc giannisk on irc.freenode.net

EMEA: Interested in representing Fedora at OpenRheinRuhr (Oberhausen, Germany, 5 November to 6 November)?
by Till Maas 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hi, from 5 November to 6 November there will the conference OpenRheinRuhr in Oberhausen, Germany. Fedora participated there in the past [1] and I am wondering if there are others that are interested in joining me to promote Fedora there. If I get some positive feedback I will prepare a new wiki page with up-to-date information. Kind regards Till [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenRheinRuhr_2014

Fwd: [FAmNA Trac] #159: Migrating to Pagure
by Justin W. Flory 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hello all, As briefly discussed towards the end of this evening's FAmNA meeting, I noted that the bug that was blocking us from testing a migration to Pagure from Trac was fixed. I've created a ticket explaining the full details of this migration and how it would work in the ticket. We can vote on this ticket at the next meeting, but if you will not be able to attend, feel free to leave a vote in the ticket. Since this is a major change from a tool we've been using for over half a decade, I figured it was worth highlighting this ticket on the mailing list. After we have migrated our Trac, I would like to offer advice and guidance to other regions looking to migrate in the coming future so everyone can try to be on the same page (this is also a big opportunity for all of the regions to follow the same format and help keep a "single user experience" for all Ambassadors around the world in terms of what tools we use and how we use them). Thanks everyone. :) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [FAmNA Trac] #159: Migrating to Pagure Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2016 06:17:07 -0000 From: FAmNA Trac <trac(a)fedorahosted.org> Reply-To: ambassadors(a)lists.fedoraproject.org #159: Migrating to Pagure --------------------+---------------------- Reporter: jflory7 | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: meeting Severity: urgent | Keywords: internal --------------------+---------------------- = Phenomenon = On February 28, 2017, [https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org /fedorahosted-sunset-2017-02-28/ FedoraHosted is retiring] and will be set into read-only mode. FAmNA needs to migrate our Trac to Pagure to ensure we can continue working after Trac closes. = Analysis = A blocking bug was recently fixed in the [https://pagure.io/pagure- importer pagure-importer] tool that was preventing the data from being migrated. Now, this bug has been fixed and a first "test run" of the migration is available in the staging version of Pagure. You can find the **[https://stg.pagure.io/stg-famna/issues test repository for FAmNA here]**. While the formatting for tickets has changed from wiki formatting to markdown, the change is relatively minor. All things like attachments to tickets (e.g. PDFs, images, etc.) have also imported. Just like how Trac has things like milestones, severity, and priorities, this can be replicated in Pagure. In the repository settings, we can use milestones and roadmaps for tracking tickets for each release cycle (see: [https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/roadmap example roadmap]). Tickets can also be assigned severity levels for issues that need to be addressed sooner than others. Trac milestones would become Pagure tags. Issues can be tagged in a variety of ways, e.g. "event", "meeting", "open", "budget", or any other amount of ways we choose. Multiple tags can be used for a ticket. A good example of how this would look is in the [https://pagure.io/fedora- commops/issues CommOps Pagure]. If approved, I will migrate the FAmNA Trac to Pagure, set up the tags and milestones as described above, and set this Trac instance as read-only. After a month of using Pagure, we can request the FAmNA Trac URL to redirect to our Pagure. = Implementation = 1. FAmNA votes +1/-1 for migrating to Pagure after our next meeting. 2. Trac is imported into a Pagure repository. 3. New Pagure repository is set up with tags, milestones, and priorities similar to our Trac. 4. Current Ambassadors are added to a FAmNA "group" in Pagure. 5. This Trac instance is set as read-only. 6. After one month to ensure everything is working as expected, we request the FAmNA Trac URL redirects to Pagure (if for some reason data needs to be recovered, it will still exist in Fedora Infra). -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/159> FAmNA Trac <https://fedorahosted.org/famna> This Trac contains all public business of the Fedora Ambassadors of North America (FAmNA). Tickets tracked here include event planning, task tracking, completing new objectives, and more.

Hi all, forwarding this message on to the Ambassadors list for anyone who is in the upstate NY area. The Rochester Institute of Technology's FOSS@MAGIC community is organizing their annual hackathon on the election night in the US. I am planning to be at this event as a Fedora representative. There should be a fair number of people here (expected between 75-125), so this is a great chance to help promote Fedora and open source software and communities to students. If anyone in the region is interested or thinks they would be able to make this, please email me directly at jflory7(a)fedoraproject.org.
