EVENT REPORT: Linux Demo Day, Charleston, SC
by David Nalley 15 Sep '08

15 Sep '08

I traveled to Charleston, SC this morning to represent Fedora at the Linux Demo Day put on by Charleston SC LUG. I arrived just after noon and they had a table setup for me. I put media, business cards, my laptop setup with an xguest account, and an OLPC XO. The event was geared at people who weren't familiar with Linux. About 60 people showed up. Charleston's LUG is relatively new, and this was their first event. They seemed very pleased. I handed about 30 LiveCDs out and talked with a number of Fedora. In addition I spoke to 2-3 people who were intrigued with contributing to Fedora in one way or another. I'll be following up with these individuals.

Announcing "New Ambassadors Policy" updates

15 Sep '08

Following Joerg Simon, the most active Ambassadors Membership Administrator, proposal, FAmSCo is announcing an update to the "New Ambassadors Policy". According to Joerg email the goals of this update are "to enhance the Quality of New Members experience" and "reduce Introduction Traffic to Ambassador List". FAmSCo, after reviewing all the reasons behind this proposal, agreed to adopt these modifications. Process to become an Ambassador in FAS (Fedora Account System): 1. In the Beginning NO SPONSORING! He gets a Message from Ambassador Membership Service with all the steps including this Imperative Steps: 2. has to subscribe to M-L - (no Intro this is a low traffic list ... in the message) 3. has to make a meaningful Personal WikiPage with his intentions and Introduction 4. has to send a "ready" message with a Link to the Wiki Page to Ambassador Membership Service 5. Ambassador Membership Service collect and report to Famsco periodically for approval of the new potential Ambassador. 6. SPONSORED by Ambassador Membership Service 7. Mail to Ambassador List with Wiki Links of new Members This updates will take effects starting from 2008/09/15 (this Monday). I'm sure New Ambassadors and the Project itself will benefit from these updates. About Ambassadors Membership Administrators (AMA) AMA group is composed by Ambassadors and it's supervised by FAmSCo. It has to accept new Ambassadors and give them the first informations about the project and the action to do to became an Ambassador. Currently it is composed by Joerg Simon, Fabian Affolter and Rodrigo Padula and supervised by FAmSCo chair. If you have questions/doubts/ideas and/or everything connected with AMA please feel free to ask in Ambassadors list. Best regards Francesco Ugolini on Behalf of FAmSCo

Hi, I was thinking if it would be nice to have a TRAC based tracking system for filling and tracking Free Media data. Will this help us anyway? -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= ssh 0x86DD170A http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

Introduction
by Felix Kaechele 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Hello Everyone! My name is Felix Kaechele, I was born and still live in Germany though i'm half Canadian. I'm currently 18 Years of age and still visit the local Gymnasium (our German equivalent to high school) where I manage all of the 150 computers including 3 servers (One Gentoo, one NetWare and of course: one Fedora) as well as the networking infrastructure (that is: ethernet and wifi). I joined the Ambassadors because I think I can help to spread the word and convince people to free themselves from proprietary software. You can also visit my Fedora WikiPage at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Heffer for (more) Information. That's all for now. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Maybe I'll see some of you at FADEMEA 2008 in Basel. Cheers, Felix
