fugolini !
fabian_a fugolini,
fugolini Hi, i'm here today to talk about this important issue
fugolini i want to invite everyone to make something for the F9 release event
fugolini *release
fugolini just take a look at this mail from Jeffrey: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-April/msg00043.html
fugolini Release Events are important because they are the final piece of
fugolini a long and hard development process
fugolini I know this year we announced it late but i hope you could create something
fugolini that's all
fugolini Talk with the other EMEA ambassadors and try to organize all together
fugolini thank you
fugolini eof
fabian_a thanks, fugolini
fabian_a Clean-up the Ambassadors parts on the wiki
fabian_a We deleted a lot of obsolete pages but there are still many pages left. This pages needs some work on them.
fabian_a Check Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/CleanUpPages if you are able to help us improve our part in the fedora wiki
fabian_a BTW, soon we will migrate to mediawiki. The test instance is available at https://publictest1.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Main_Page
spevack Impact of the Migration on Ambassadors should be minimal
fabian_a If you have experience with mediawiki, especially with the migration from moinmoin to mediawiki, Fedora Infrastructure will be very pleasant to hear from you
fugolini !
fabian_a fugolini,
fugolini i forget to send the email to Ambs list
fugolini i just send a copy of the announcement in Famsco list, i will do it now!
fugolini eof
GeroldKa !
fabian_a GeroldKa,
GeroldKa sorry for beeing late, many, many problems by my primary duty
GeroldKa my employer
GeroldKa eof
diaa !
fabian_a diaa,
diaa Hi, I have missed the wiki name part, my wiki name is DiaaRadwan.
spevack GeroldKa: it's no problem, everyone here except for me is a volunteer, and we all understand that your primary job has many important commitments
diaa we will have fedora day on one of the largest universities on Egypt.
diaa sorry for the overlap :)
spevack diaa: did you get the stuff out of Customs?
diaa No, hopefully I will get it tomorrow.
fabian_a something else before we move on
spevack will they require you to pay a lot of money?
* spevack sent Diaa a bunch of Swag to support Fedora Day in Egypt
fabian_a If you would like to have a Fedora Ambassador Polo Shirt and you will attend LinuxTag.
diaa I think it is not related to money, I think it's about content. they have to look on cds.
spevack diaa: they will not find anything too exciting :)... ok, sorry to interrupt you fabian_a, go ahead
diaa fabian_a: I think it will be hard to get the polo shirt.
fabian_a You have 2 days left to place your order at Ambassadors/PoloShirt
fabian_a next topic...
fabian_a Report current status of Ambassadors Membership
diaa I want to give you outline on the sessions
diaa First session will be FOSS and history of GNU/Linux, fedora, benefits and how to contribute. second one would be either preparing development environment on fedora based server or shell scripting session.
diaa is there any ideas?
diaa EOF
fabian_a events are on your list, later
fabian_a Ambassadors Membership
fabian_a As of 2008-04-14, 352 Ambassadors have been verified (signed CLA and joined 'ambassadors' group)
fabian_a The Ambassadors statistics page ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Statistics ) will be updated soon with more accurate numbers :-).
fabian_a So far I have no time to do it.
fabian_a Everybody, please check your personal wiki page if all data are up-to-date.
fabian_a We have several Ambassadors with invalid email addresses and some who still have there name.surname@fedoraproject.org addresses on the wiki.
fabian_a Please verifiy also if your CategoryAmbassadors(+Country) entry is still right (with my new script I'm working with this information).
fabian_a BTW, I'm looking for some help to improve this script.
fabian_a I will use it as long that we have no better option to generate some statistics through FAS2
fabian_a any input about that?
fcrippa !
fabian_a fcrippa,
fcrippa fabian, I've made some improvements to "stats" script
fcrippa it runs also for "EditGroup" page
fcrippa ..or other "group" pages
fabian_a thanks fcrippa, for this details
fcrippa and I've also made a small project based on turbogear to put charts online automatically
fcrippa if there is some one interesting to continue develop (with me, and - I hope- Fabian), let' go :-)
fcrippa (I'll put code online soon)

spevack (after diaa is finished)
diaa This the first event I co-organize as fedora ambassador. First session will be FOSS and history of GNU/Linux, fedora, benefits and how to contribute. second one would be either preparing development environment on fedora based server or shell scripting session.
diaa the expected attendees are 90 on the first one and 40 on the second.
diaa unfortunately, the event is before the release of 9.
diaa any ideas ? ,EOF
fabian_a anybody? otherwise spevack
spevack diaa: I will send you a presentation that serves as a great "introduction to fedora"
spevack diaa: and you can adapt or change it for any needs you like.
spevack fabian_a: I wanted to talk about the FedoraEvents page a little bit
spevack There are 3 events currently listed for EMEA with no owner
fabian_a spevack, sure
lfoppiano !
spevack Grazer LinuxTag
spevack Linuxdays in Geneva
spevack and OpenSource Expo
fabian_a Linuxdays Geneve, very short: no attendance
spevack ok, we can remove that one
spevack what about the other two? Either way is fine, I just am curious to know.
kital !
fabian_a kital,
spevack ! (one more thing for later)
GeroldKa !
kital OpenSource Expo is not far for me but it is just before linuxtag
spevack My feeling is that OpenSource expo is not important with LinuxTag just a few days later
spevack we should focus all our effort on LinuxTag
kital ok
kital eof
fabian_a spevack, then GeroldKa
lfoppiano !
spevack i will be quick, then lfoppiano and GeroldKa
spevack The call for papers for Froscon is open
spevack http://www.froscon.de/en/program/call-for-papers.html
spevack I am going to submit a talk
spevack and plan to attend the show, if it is accepted
spevack EOF
GeroldKa imho we're to less Ambassadors to handle every event and we have to less money for covering all this things and another issue is that we have no support by Red Hat right now, but for sure ...
lfoppiano !
GeroldKa Max if you're here more things will be also easier for us to handle and cover
GeroldKa and btw.
kanarip !
GeroldKa Froscon is an event which we cover (not myself because it is always in my holidays) mostly
GeroldKa they will be happy to have your talk, for sure
GeroldKa eof
fabian_a lfoppiano, sorry now it's your turn, then kanarip
lfoppiano just 2 word about italian events
lfoppiano *words
lfoppiano it will be saturdary, our best news is first automatic fedora live usb key
lfoppiano creatior
spevack GeroldKa: we have more support now more than ever, and it will be my job to give EMEA the proper support that it needs. My date for moving to Europe is May 19th. :)
lfoppiano we will do a talk on fedora community (speaker will be fcrippa)
lfoppiano and we expect to meet more than 100 people (I hope)
fabian_a lfoppiano is talking about liberaMENTE
lfoppiano oh, yes sorry
lfoppiano I forgot to tell you
lfoppiano (I'm little scared, it's my first ambassador meeeting:P)

kanarip EOF
fabian_a ok, now LinuxTag Berlin
fabian_a We have 21 attendees and a place to sleep. But there is still a lot of work left.
GeroldKa !
spevack kanarip: that's my plan too :)
fabian_a We are "hiring" people for the booth setup : Add yourself to the list http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/LinuxTag/LinuxTag2008/BoothSetup
fabian_a GeroldKa,
GeroldKa booth-size
GeroldKa at the moment I got a call and the information that we will get 16 sqm and because of Red Hat pays a little bit, our booth will be raised up to max. 20 sqm.
GeroldKa I will have a meting with the Linuxtag projects board on 2008-04-26 (also) to discuss that point. But there are only 450 sqm for more than 75 free projects and we will get one of the biggest size :-(
GeroldKa Because of that issue I decided to cancel the troubleshooting contest (because he's not ready right now) and we try to keep our focus on the gadget with "get your USB stick filled here"
GeroldKa FUDCon
GeroldKa I have still no answer from Jens working on that issue but heared from Florian that he's working on that issue; late but he seems working on that
GeroldKa and he will give us an smaller overview after me :-)
GeroldKa SWAG
GeroldKa - we found a place where to ship our goods from elsewhere in this world
GeroldKa - we order the Fedora Ambassadors Polo next week on Tuesday and the other things in a gremium of JoergSimon, SandroMathys, FabianAffolter and me!
GeroldKa more can be seen in the wiki at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents/LinuxTag/LinuxTag2008
