success, but much more suited to Fedora than the "Corporate Red Hat".
Shouldn't be a problem to get stand space.

(10:34:19) tchung: mspevack, ping
(10:34:31) lxmaier: mspevack: i had an impression quaid was interested
(10:34:50) ***mspevack looks for his paper with notes about LWSF
(10:35:32) mspevack: ok, we have a booth and a BoF, according to Jack
Aboutboul, but beyond that, if Jack and quaid want to figure out who
owns it, that's fine with me.  I'd like there to be a single owner
(10:35:51) mspevack: keep in mind that Red Hat itself will not be at
LWSF, it will just be Fedora.

(10:35:59) tchung: !

FUDCon/FUDConSanFrancsico2006 for more info
(10:37:38) lxmaier: mspevack: is jack in charge of this one too?
(10:38:15) mspevack: this is an out of date item.  The decision that
was made, honestly I don't remember where, it was on famsco-list I
think, was that it didn't make sense to do a FUDCon SF
(10:38:16) quaid: LWSF or FUDCon?
(10:38:28) quaid: aye, I think it was priv. email with a good group
(10:38:30) mspevack: we prefer to do a FudCON in Silicon Valley area,
but sometime after the school year starts, and we can do it at a
college
(10:38:36) quaid: +1
(10:38:40) mspevack: I am in charge of that
(10:38:46) mspevack: but I will be delegating :-)
(10:38:50) mspevack: so...
(10:38:51) quaid: and I'm your Sgt. on the ground :)
(10:39:07) quaid: LWSF == .org Pavilion
(10:39:08) mspevack: There's 2 separate things -- 1) LWSF in August,
2) FUDCon NoCal in Oct/Nov
(10:39:25) mspevack: IMHO jack owns LWSF and I own FudCon, with quaid
likely to help a lot
(10:39:50) mspevack: eof
(10:39:54) mspevack: any comments?
(10:40:03) lxmaier: so we need to edit fudcon entry on

(10:40:16) lxmaier: since there is says it will be right after LWSF

(10:42:11) lxmaier: we need some new info on this
(10:42:46) lxmaier: next event
(10:42:57) lxmaier: Sept, 2006   Linux Day   It will be a presentation
generally about Fedora, Open Source etc. It will take place at my high
school. Ilza, Poland.   PawelSadowski   More info will be available in
September, after the school year starts.
(10:43:09) lxmaier: i have just received this update from pawel
(10:43:33) lxmaier: We have decided to postpone the presentation until
autumn, because it is
(10:43:33) lxmaier: the end of the school year and we were afraid very
few people (if any)
(10:43:33) lxmaier: would arrive. Our decision has also other
advantages: on autumn I will
(10:43:33) lxmaier: be able to give away DVDs with burnt Fedora Core,
and I hope also
(10:43:33) lxmaier: leaflets with info about Fedora to give away to
participants. I am also
(10:43:33) lxmaier: thinking about preparing few LiveCDs in target to
give participants a
(10:43:33) lxmaier: chance to try Fedora Core in school yet :) I
forward this message to Max
(10:43:33) lxmaier: Spevack, cos I have talked about this presentation
with him, too.

(10:44:36) lxmaier: alright, this was the last event we have reviewed today
(10:44:56) lxmaier: next item on our
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Schedule is Schwag pipeline
and a Standard Ambassadors Survival Kit
(10:45:06) lxmaier: mspevack: have any news on this?
(10:45:24) lxmaier: i have seen the message to the list, so it looks
you guys have made some progress
(10:45:39) mspevack: lxmaier: greendisease is doing all of the work on
the event kit, he was supposed to send a note to ambassadors list
(10:45:41) mspevack: sounds like he did
(10:45:54) hanafiah: !
(10:46:00) lxmaier: however, if jack is doing work for the ambassadors
project, it would be very helpful if he also communicated his work to
the ambassadors from time to time
(10:46:01) mspevack: we'd like feedback on-list about that
(10:46:14) mspevack: lxmaier: did he not send the note to ambassadors
list with his proposal?
(10:46:25) mspevack: lxmaier: that's the next step on his to-do list
(10:46:55) mspevack: eof
(10:46:57) lxmaier: mspevack: he sent a very long message outlining
what will happen--and this was the first the group has heard from him
(10:47:16) lxmaier: i meant to say that he needs to communicate regularly
(10:47:29) tchung: +1
(10:47:31) lxmaier: and also to take into account the input he might
receive from the group
(10:47:33) mspevack: lxmaier: I will encourage him to do so --
greendisease, you listeninig?  :-)
(10:47:43) mspevack: lxmaier: he is *absolutely* going to take into
account input
(10:47:54) lxmaier: greendisease is not at the screen, is my impression
(10:48:18) mspevack: he'll see the logs though
(10:48:28) mspevack: and i'll talk to him and make sure the work
continues to be transparent

(10:53:56) StrikeForce: In Australia they hold an annual event in
either Australia or New Zealand does anyone know whether Red Hat is a
part of this?
(10:54:25) StrikeForce: Looking through this I haven't seen Fedora
part of this either I'm not sure where its going to be held next
though it hasn't been announced I don't think
(10:54:31) tchung: StrikeForce, when is the next event?
(10:54:35) lxmaier: StrikeForce: i do not know whether Red Hat is going there
(10:54:47) StrikeForce: Generally in January it is held
(10:54:55) StrikeForce: so the next one would be Jan' 07
(10:55:55) StrikeForce: Ok I'll do a bit more research on the
situation and try and post back either to the list or at the next
meeting that I attend what more information I can gather
(10:56:12) lxmaier: StrikeForce: yepp, do that
(10:56:21) lxmaier: and add your event to

(10:56:34) lxmaier: we usually review the events for the upcoming 3 months
(10:56:44) lxmaier: so we have plenty of time before january ;)
(10:56:54) StrikeForce: I will once I have a bit more information at
the moment its tentative Jan 07
(10:57:00) lxmaier: doesn't mean though that you can't start working
on it now ;)

(11:00:04) glezos: lxmaier: not for events, for everything.. FAQ for
helping out in general, suggest things... Something like a guide for
suggestions.
(11:00:30) lxmaier: this is for FUDCon, but you can adapt them for
your purposes and post them under
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events/Organization
(11:00:54) glezos: There are many mailing lists, many wiki pages, the
bugzilla... I think it would be a good idea to put "Direct ways you
can help" or something on a page.
