Motorola Lapdock Donation
by Mike DePaulo 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hi everyone, I have a new spare Motorola Atrix Lapdock that I could donate. You can hook it up to a raspberry pi with a few adapters/cables: http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Raspberry-Pi-Lapdock-Connection/ "The lapdock incorporates a razor-sharp 11" HDMI display, an almost-adequate keyboard-with-trackpad, twin speakers, and a high-capacity battery -- all in a thin two-pound package." (Note: "razor-sharp" == 1366x768.) Are any regions interested in receiving it? -Mike

EMEA Trac migrated to Pagure
by Zacharias Mitzelos 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Hello EMEA Ambassadors, I completed the trac migration from fedorahosted to pagure. The visibility has been set to private, since there is sensitive information like home addresses, receipts, phone numbers, etc attached to the tickets. There are a couple of active tickets in the trac, that I will transfer to the new issue trackers soon. You can find the migrated trac here[1]. Please do not open new tickets there, use the other issue trackers to request funding or swag. I have created another issue tracker for funding requests[2], that is set to public for the time being. This will be our primary issue tracker for funding requests or other expenses that will be reimbursed from the EMEA Budget. In the next meeting we have to make a decision weather or not we want to move forward with bex's idea to have 2 issue trackers for funding requests (one public under the EMEA group, and one private were receipts will be uploaded at, under the fedora-budget group). There is also an issue tracker for swag requests[3] that is set to private (because it contains private information like addresses and phone numbers). All of the repositories/issue trackers I mentioned can be found under the EMEA Ambassadors group in pagure[4]. Members of this group can see the private issue trackers, add comments to private tickets, change the status of tickets, and many more. I added some EMEA Ambassadors to the group. If you have not been added, you can ping me(off-list or in Telegram) or someone else that is in the group to add you. Please don't add people to the group that are not EMEA Ambassadors. By default people that are in the EMEA Ambassadors group in pagure receive email notifications for ticket creation, new comments, status updates in tickets, etc. You can stop receiving notifications by visiting the specific project and click the stop watching button. For example, you might want to unsubscribe from the swag_requests tracker. I'm still exploring the capabilities of pagure, so please correct me if I did something wrong. Many thanks to jflory7 and nmilosev for their help during the migration!

Fedorator
by Jiri Eischmann 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hi, you may have heard of Fedorator recently. Miro Hrončok supervised a bachelor thesis whose result was a Fedora USB drive writer box. It's all open source hardware, you can find it at Github: https://github.com/Sanqui/fedorator The thesis (in English) is here: https://diplomky.redhat.com/grid-file/ serve-file?mongoId=591b657ee4b00455e619aca6&bucket=thesis&save=true My idea is to organize a workshop at Flock where we would assemble say 10 units and then ambassadors would bring them back to their countries and use at events. Since DVDs are going away it could be a useful addition to event equipment and one of replacements for DVDs. I'm writing it here to hear opinions of other ambassadors. Do you think it's something worth investing time and money in? Jiri
