Fedora Freemedia India, A plan.
by susmit shannigrahi 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi, There are a lot of requests for fedora freemedia. What I did last month for kolkata was I provided a few DVDs to Dipanjan and asked people to collect personally. Of the 19 requests we got, only 5 collected personally. After tomorrow, I am going to flag them invalid. The current system is such that even if they request DVD next month, they will be flagged as duplicate. What we can do is to make it compulsory to collect the DVD personally if there is an ambassador in locality. I guess this way, we may cut down the "I-request-whatever-I-get-free" people. Your thoughts? -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= Sent from Calcutta, WB, India

How many ...
by sankarshan 31 Mar '09

I was wondering, somewhat idly I must admit, about the numbers amongst us: - who are now on Rawhide - who use the local language desktop - who, during install fests and the like mention and demonstrate the local language desktop - who know about Transifex and related pieces of the Fedora L10n infrastructure to talk about it - who follow the QA Days off the Fedora Planet and, are keen to get involved Any numbers/responses ? -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work
