informal relationships map
by Karsten Wade 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Article about mapping informal relationships in an organization: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_09/b3973083.htm I think it would help us _a_lot_ if we had some mapping of how stuff gets done in Fedora. This is from a survey, where you ask people who they go to for information, who comes to them, and what kind of information they share. Some social risks are involved, but it's worth a look. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject

Idea: Fedora in Library
by Chitlesh GOORAH 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Hello everyone, I think im going to write a lot lol. Ok an Ubuntu marketing agent told me about their idea of having Ubuntu in Libraries. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuInLibraries No, its not about installing Ubuntu in the computers but to lend Open source cds to their subscribed users. Actually they copied it from Openoffice. http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/11838/Open%20Sour… Personally its a wonderful idea because having CDS in libraries will affect the complete newbies mind set of fear towards linux. Considering the fact that librairies is a body of trust. This is mostly an activity done by the lug. Of course if we ambassadors provide enough materials/translation to. Im eager to do it right away in Strasbourg. But comparing to another distros like ubuntu,suse,etc they already have enough materials in their pocket. Example, live cds. I prefer to wait for Fedora to catch up with materials. Let's take for example, Fedora. If a lug happens to realise this project. Among other distros we will only have handouts and Fedora DVDs. Meanwhile students or anyone will prefer to give a try to live cds, leaving Fedora behind. Saying that this particular live distro is based on Fedora isn't enough for the complete newbies. It would rather be useless. If someone tried the "official" fedora LIVE cd if he/she likes it he/she can easily get the install DVD for free for their local lug or lug ambassador or from the library directly. Some testimonials: http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/04/04/16/1923248.shtml?tid=137&tid=185&… http://slashdot.org/articles/03/12/15/193231.shtml?tid=146&tid=149&tid=99 Since in the last 3 meetings (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Schedule ) we didn't really progress in Emails, funds, Schwag because we are waiting for additional info. I suggest we talk and plan about this idea. I know ambassadors from India or Brazil will have alot to say :)) I know we (majority)ambassadors we only popped in during meetings hours, talk and talk. This sounds like acting. Its time to move A55 :) for REAL action. Chitlesh GOORAH -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com

CLA for Wiki contributions
by Karsten Wade 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

Further research and discussion with the Foundation counsel brings a simple resolution to this. We need a single CLA signed for code, documentation, Wiki pages, etc. Let's do it. Of the 345 folks in EditGroup, a subset have not signed the CLA, and of that, a subset have actually contributed to the Wiki. Those people we need to identify and explain the situation. AP Websites team -- we need: * A one-stop page for the CLA-to-be to work from - can someone with a few minute throw up a straw man plan? * If feasible, divide the group of CLA-needy amongst Docs and Websites volunteers to provide personal assistance, explanations, hand-holding, etc. * ??? AP Patrick -- let's pull the ripcord on this. How should we announce? We need to hit fedora-devel-list, since I reckon a small group is there. What else? Just create a mass Bcc: list from the account records? Should filter out the have-CLA-already first.
