- so i have not heard back from Creative Commons yet.

- i will also get in touch with a merchandise producing company to manufacture schwag for the contest
- the prize money is NOT 5K
- 5 K is all we got to run the contest
- a larger chunk of if will be spent on small giveaways
- the main prize shall not be more expensive than
- USD 500 to make the contest be easier to conduct legally across the world
- 2.2 - Schwag pipeline and a Standard Ambassadors Survival Kit
- GregDeKoenigsberg not present
- CyberSpy: Would an Ambassador Survival Kit include a carboard cutaway kiosk of some sort?
- lxmaier: the survival kits are planned to include a table throw and/or a vinyl banner
- lxmaier: not all ambassadors will be able to get them at once, b/c they are expensive, but we are looking to produce a few each quarter
- 2.3 - Presentations for Ambassadors
- RahulSundaram not present (at the moment)
- 2.4 - FedoraLibraries
- ChitleshGoorah not present
- 3.1 - Fedora Community Free Media Project
- ThomasChung reports
- well, I've finially given away 50 DVDs so far.
- The request form is still closed since I have no more DVDs left.
- I might burn 50 more next week.
- CyberSpy: I have 400 burnt, I need some sort of label image so I can print on them (like the old blue FC2 isos), and 100 more will be burnt today
- tchung: Once again, this is volunteer program so we don't have to put official label image
- JoseTarazona: I think we must use the same labels on CDs or DVDs, even if this is a volunteer program. Fedora must show a common and strong image to the public.
- cds: The topic about vendors/sponsoredMedia is being discussed off list, and we'll get back to interested parties once something is worked out.
- GeroldKa: http://booth.zapto.org/~foxkm/FC5/ these are not official labels, correct???!
- CyberSpy: Those are great, I'll use them if it's okay
- lxmaier: i hope we will be able to publish the ones we'll use for official DVDs--once we've got them
- 3.2 - Fedora Word Of Mouth Project
- ClairShaw reports
- In order to help Ambassadors concentrate on events, I've started up WOM.
- It's to help ambassadors (and others) get support for general publicing of fedora, telling individuals about it, etc.
- atm I'm just after as many people interested in helping/getting help as possible, and filling in common questions.
- JoseTarazona: It will be possible to create a spanish language version of the project?
- cds: I've love that :)
- lxmaier: then i guess cds and JoseTarazona should work together on this
- Misc
- tchung: just want to let you know, we won't have a meeting next week since most of famsco members will be at the Boston. :)
- mether: nothing to visit there (FC5 tour). it can be removed from schedule
