leaving Fedora Ambassador's project
by Robert Whetsel
ALCON,
I would like to start it was a pleasure to get to kind of know those of you
I've
met and worked with. I am telling you that I am leaving the Fedora Project
after
my events are completed this month. I will do one last edit of my RobertWhetsel
for history sake.
I feel as I did not get to know many of you as well as I would have liked.
Part
of my leaving is that a lot of us do not really understand the responsibilities
and duties of a Ambassador, let alone what is the big picture of Linux and the
concepts open source.
An Ambassador is defined as:
An ambassador is a diplomatic official accredited to a foreign sovereign or
government, or to an international organization, to serve as the official
representative of his or her own country. In everyday usage it applies to the
ranking government representative stationed in a foreign capital. The host
country typically allows the ambassador control of specific territory called an
embassy, whose territory, staff, and even vehicles are generally afforded
diplomatic immunity in the host country.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambassador)
The Fedora Project's Ambassadors role is getting the word out by using a
grassroots approach. Additionally, I believe we should be sharing the
possibilities of what if. What if all people has access to eduction; no matter
where they live. What if a small company could use software that helped them
automate a business process that saved them enough money to hire one more
employee. What if through education someone is able to get a job and not worry
about how feed her family or where they are going to sleep. What if one more
person believed that they could make a difference. That is what an Ambassador
does; they open doors for people who don't know and give a new way to look at
computing; one user at a time. Events are nice, but remember without people an
event is an empty room.
The marketing group roles are different from that as an ambassador. And, with
the ambassador group still trying to find their way the merging of the two
groups will ensue into chaos for a time after the transition. And, when we
figure it out there will be a new set of people who will repeat the same
mistakes. Again, people will wounder wjy we continue struggle. Is it because we
keep changing the mission? Not really; We have had a lot of volunteers for
subprojects, however when some people realized how much effort was needed and
no
one else steeped up to help; they quietly let the due date lapse until we
forgot
about it.
For me I don't understand why we continue to repeat our meeting agendas. It has
at times that I thought that we were playing a previous recorded show. A
meeting
should be for action; debate needs to take place before via ml and a voting is
conducted during the meeting. Our lack of process is the failure to read
meeting
minutes and the inability to realize we discussed and resolve that issue.
Additionally, when we get new people we get new Ideas; (same ideas more or
less)
we already resolved as policy or dismissed. It's human nature to keep working
in
our short term memory.

Fedora 7 and Marketing
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
I've updated a bit the page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/BrainDump#f7
I'm looking for ideas about how to market F7. Of course, this is not a
one-man show so you can either update the wiki page or directly post
your ideas here.
If you are already working on something on your own, it would be best
to let everyone know it so that someone else should not do the same
thing. Then this wiki page is appropriate until someone brighter than
me (there are lots of them, believe me) can point to a more
appropriate URL:)
As our release engineer recently posted the final f7 will be shipped
on 24th of May, leaving us lots of time to finally care about
marketing.
thanks for your cooperation.
regards,
Chitlesh

Arguments needed
by Thomas Canniot
Hi mates,
Trying to promote Fedora and the use of yum (instead of third manager
like smart) I forgot why it is not acceptable for yum to download many
packages at the same time. I know it is for a security reason, but I
can't find why.
Could someone refresh my mind please ?
Thanks

FEDORA en FLISOL 2007 - PERU
by Hernan Pachas
Estimados Amigos.
Reciban un cordial saludo de mi parte.
En esta oportunidad les escribo con la finalidad de requerir su apoyo
para poder colaborar en el desarrollo del evento FLISOL 2007 en
nuestro pais. No sè si todos conoscan sobre FLISOL (Festival
Latinoamericano de Instalaciòn de Software Libre), este evento se
realiza en Latinoamerica desde el año 2005 y siempre se requieren el
apoyo de las distribuciones en el tema de CDs o DVDs de instalación,
materiales de publicidad, etc. asi como tambièn del apoyo de personal
tècnico (con el cual contamos localmente). Sin embargo, lo que si
necesitamos es todo el apoyo de Marketing que Uds puedan
proporcionarnos, creo que este requermiento no solo es para PERU, ya
que en esto estamos involucrados todos los embajadores
Latinomericanos.
A mi punto de vista, es la mejor vitrina que tenemos para promocionar
a nuestra Distribuciòn favorita - FEDORA.
Saludos,
---Hernan Pachas
