Booth Ideas
by Jeff Sandys 04 Mar '17

04 Mar '17

I am Fedora Ambassador Jeff Sandys and gave a presentation called Spin Your Exhibit at Fedora Rochester. The main idea is that we want to give the Linux Fest guest an experience they will remember. By focusing on a spin we can focus the experience. While some guests are not interested in music or games, many are. Guests for music could experience playing instruments, guests for games could experience a TuxCart tournament or play other games. The swag we give guests should be associated with their experience, we gave guitar picks and TuxCart entry cards to guests. If a guest tells a friend about their Fedora experience we succeeded in making a connection. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spin_Your_Exhibit I will continue to fill in this page with materials and notes for the spin exhibits. Please get me your feedback on the Spin your Exhibit presentation and your experience of guests interaction. Add your ideas for the spin you are interested in. Thanks, Jeff Sandys

Help Fedora Hubs by taking a quick social media survey
by Máirín Duffy 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi Ambassadors! Our Outreachy intern, Suzanne Hillman, has put together a survey about Fedora contributors’ usage of social media to help us prioritize potential future integration with various social media platforms with Fedora Hubs. We've noticed that usage of different platforms seems to be related to different regions, so we're specifically interested in getting survey responses from Fedora contributors world-wide. We would also love to hear from ambassadors because the feature this would be for (regional hubs) is geared specifically for supporting ambassadors and their local communities. The survey link is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwqrBZAl7FGowexrkCWR-H-XeP5a6zeVp… Thanks, ~m

Budget Update
by Brian Exelbierd 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Today the Council met and voted on a budget issue that affects Ambassadors: The FY18 (2017-2018) budget provided by RH will not be available by March 1, 2017. Therefore the council has authorized a temporary spending authorization for Ambassador regions in today's meeting. Regions are authorized to allocate/spend up to 10% of their prior year budget. This should carry us through to the final budget allocation which is coming. This IS NOT A BUDGET CUT. This is just a way to allow regions to keep doing their work while also protecting us from the unknown. See details below please. Explanation/Discussion: Because we do not have final budget numbers, we need to be conservative with spending. Therefore Ambassador regions are authorized to allocate and potentially spend up to 10% of their prior year budget. This is NOT A FINAL BUDGET nor do we expect to have severe budget cuts, but we need to be fiscally responsible. If a region needs to spend more than this amount, they should vote on the ticket assuming they will receive 90% of their prior year budget and make a request to the Council in a ticket. To put this in context, 10% of the prior year budget should cover the period from March 1 to about April 10 (assuming level spending). For some regions this may go further depending on the actual timing of events. The 90% level proposed above assuming some cutting and allows for regions to make a decision based on a reasonably conservative estimate of their total budget. While changes are possible, we are not expecting the public budget to be reduced but have been given no official guidance on this. Additionally, this estimates reasonably conservative reductions to account for some budgetary realignment the Council may choose to do. regards, bex
