Let's organize awesome Fedora 26 release parties!
by Jona Azizaj 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hello Ambassadors, A friendly reminder, the Fedora 26 release is coming out on July 11, 2017 (June 27, 2017 will be F26 Final Freeze) and it’s time for the Ambassadors to plan their activities around the release. You can also see the Ambassadors schedule [1] for the time frame that a release party should be held. As our wiki [2] says, help spread Fedora in your local area and provide an opportunity for Fedora users in your area to come together as a community. Release Party itself could be a meeting in a cafe or a larger scale with workshops/talks. If you will need the poster artwork for you party, here is the ticket [3] the Fedora Design Team is working on. Once the Fedora Media Artwork will be ready they will publish it here [4]. Don't forget to create a wiki page (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F26_YOUR-PLACE) for your event and link that page to the overview page of all release events [5]. Do you need some swag or budget for your Release Party? Then open a ticket in advance to request some swag and/or a budget ticket to be reviewed during the regional Ambassadors Meeting. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. Best regards! Jona [1] https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-26/f-26-ambassadors-tasks.html [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party [3] https://pagure.io/design/issue/527 [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt/F26 [5] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F26_release_events

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

[famsco] Issue #431: Need approval for APAC budget requests
by P J P 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

pjp reported a new issue against the project: `famsco` that you are following: `` Hello, -> https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issue/268 -> https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issue/269 -> https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issue/272 It'd really help if FAMSCO could approve these APAC budget requests. I see ticket #269 is already approved by Famsco. APAC ambassadors haven't been responsive on the tickets/emails, so the budget approvals aren't coming through. Thank you. `` To reply, visit the link below or just reply to this email https://pagure.io/famsco/issue/431

F26 Release Party - Sirko
by Brian Exelbierd 05 Aug '17

05 Aug '17

Sirko (and everyone), I've been reading your multi-part series on how you're doing the F26 release party in Phnom Penh. I think this is a fantastic idea. I like that you are working directly with lots of future members of the IT working groups in Cambodia and likely future contributors. I really appreciate how using Fedora as a base has let you talk about all kinds of technology and firmly introduce it. Students are a hard audience, and it seems like you've found a great low-resource high energy way to engage them. This is awesome. Keep your posts coming. I think these kind of release parties create an opportunity for existing contributors and ambassadors to really bond with potential community members. Many of our activities don't seem to have obvious followup. I would be surprised if there isn't clear followup by Sirko here as he will obviously have invested a lot of time and made friends (by showing off freedom, features and first). What other ideas could we do like this in your region? If you haven't read it, read it now: http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=4958 regards, bex
