---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: susmit shannigrahi <thinklinux.ssh(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 2:17 PM Subject: [Ambassadors] Call for Fedora 13 release events. To: fedora-ambassadors-list <fedora-ambassadors-list(a)redhat.com> Cc: FAmSCo List <famsco-list(a)redhat.com> Hi All, We are pretty excited about the release we are approaching. Thanks goes to everyone for their brilliant efforts. The release events have always been an integral part of our releases. Many ambassadors and contributors have already started planning the parties. As we have merely three weeks to go before the release, its time that we start working on placing things in place. If you are planning an event, you are welcome to do it. To make things easier to organise, please follow the steps (there are not many steps to follow though. :)) 1. Start by creating an wiki page. The wikipage should be at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F13_<your_city>. 2. Edit the page and at the top of the page write {{subst:ReleaseParty}} and save. 3. Now fill in the details. Information requirement is minimal. You won't need more than five minutes. 4. Link your page from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_release_events If you need any budget or support for your release event, you are welcome to ask for it. Please fill in the appropriate section in your event page. Also, we will have a meeting in the second week of May (Around 10th) to discuss issues and clarifications regarding organisation of release events. In the meanwhile, if you want to ask anything or need anything, please drop me/Tatica/Luca a mail. Thanking you all for your brilliant efforts, -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= -- ambassadors mailing list ambassadors(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ambassadors -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail / KageSenshi Inigo Consulting (FOSS/Plone Development, Training & Services) http://www.inigo-tech.com Fedora Malaysia Contributor & Ambassador http://blog.kagesenshi.org 92C2 B295 B40B B3DC 6866 5011 5BD2 584A 8A5D 7331

by Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

hurm .. this thing keep coming and going .. but never materialize i wonder how y'all would like an event thats something like this, kindof * keep it small * 1 full day event where * all registered attendee MUST talk about something about fedora or about a tool available in a fedora repository or a technology utilized in fedora what say y'all? just a note, i'm shouting this idea, but i also need someone to take a lead on this idea .. as i might be a bit bz at times, so relying only on me might cause the event not happening altogether .. -- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail / KageSenshi Inigo Consulting (FOSS/Plone Development, Training & Services) http://www.inigo-tech.com Fedora Malaysia Contributor & Ambassador http://blog.kagesenshi.org 92C2 B295 B40B B3DC 6866 5011 5BD2 584A 8A5D 7331

Fedora 12 + unknown hsdpa usb modem
by rizal asda 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Hi all, <intro.. u can skip reading this> I'm rizal and i'm a linux noob!!.. huhuhu. I've been following this mailing list for quite a while now but doesn't have a chance to join d conversation (i dont understand what u guys are talking.. tak tercapai akal ku..) and my only linux mc is just a hp mini 1001tu running f12 i686 (???). The reason i change to linux is bcoz .. the place i'm wroking here got a lot of 'penternak virus berjaya'.. n from what i see... running linux is d only 'cheap' alternative to counter that .. n i like to keep my mind occupied with sth... (well, some ppl do like to to do things d hard way...). Currently i'm very satisfied with everything.. wifi, mp3, movies, 3gp, basic office apps... <the problem> recently i bought an unbranded hsdpa usb dongle from lelong.com ... nothing much written on it... except for few lines of: HSDPA WIRELESS Mobile Connect Model: E168 HSPA USB STICK FCC IC: QISE168 (already chk at fcc website - either not registered or typo of qisec168) HSDPA TECHNOLOGIES Co. Ltd Made in China plugged it to d netbook n it detected as cd rom. google around and found that this is d 'ZeroCD' configured usb dongle... but not usb modem.... this is the result i got from lsusb Bus 002 Device 018: ID 05c6:2000 Qualcomm, Inc. and when i right-click - eject d cd rom (but leave d dongle on the usb port... the lsusb command will give me Bus 002 Device 020: ID 05c6:0015 Qualcomm, Inc. when i install n run usb_modeswitch, i got d result Looking for target device ... No devices in target mode or class found Looking for default devices ... No devices in default mode or class found. Nothing to do. Bye, the dongle website is http://www.globalwireless.com.my/ <the question> 1.need ur guys help in guiding me to properly identify the dongle.. juz let me know what to do next (i dont have any clue whatsoeva..). really hope that i can use this usb dongle. 2. any recommendation on hsdpa usb modem that is compatible with fedora 12 running gnome desktop.. one with less hassle during installation. need one for my daily web browsing since this one is susah giler nak install... huhuhu anyway, thanks in advance...

Custom kernel vs. stock kernel
by Johann Amin 21 Apr '10

21 Apr '10

In the past, I've always compiled my own kernel from vanilla source at kernel.org. Things felt snappier (psychosomatic or otherwise) on my own kernel. Over that past 2 years though, the thought of tweaking a kernel for 2 to 3 days to get things just right just doesn't seem to get me "ON" anymore. Just a quick question to you guys out there, are there any tangible performance boosts from going that route again? A 5% boost or more may be a justifiable gain.

Fwd: [Fedora-freemedia-list] FreeMedia contributor list
by ahmad zulkarnain 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

What is wrong with the picture here? I'll tell you what's wrong. Not enough distribution throughout Malaysia. Postage to Sabah / Sarawak is prohibitive to distributing Freemedia. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Contributors#Malaysia_… only 4 contributors. Please share your thoughts on this matter with objective criticisms. Forwarded conversation Subject: [Fedora-freemedia-list] FreeMedia contributor list ------------------------ From: *Joe O'Dell* <joseph.odell(a)googlemail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 4:55 AM To: freemedia(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Hey, I noticed that http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Contributors hasn't been updated in a while. Is this done by a bot/script etc, or do you have to add yourself manually? If it's manual, is it ok for me to tidy it up a little? As MediaWiki warns, its over 32kb which can cause issues editing. And if it's a script, could someone please poke it with a long stick?
