CeBIT2007
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
CeBIT 2007 will take place in Hannover during March 15-21 2007.
There will be no booth for Fedora at CeBIT2007.
But KDE will be present at CeBIT 2007.
http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=CeBIT2007
I've contacted the appropriate kde organizer and I can be at their
booth during that event on 19-20 March (these days I'm free).
But I have been informed that I can't be a Fedora Ambassador at the
booth but a KDE booth staff.
So to the visitors, I'll talk only about KDE and not Fedora!
My initial motivation is to go there and talk to KDE folks about
Fedora's KDE spin. Surely in the intention to recruit one or more
contributors for the Fedora KDE SIG :)
I've left at the KDE booth (Chemnitz LinuxTag) yesterday afternoon for CeBIT:
- 40 DVDs (i386)
- 10 DVDs (x86_64)
and I'll be bringing again
- 40 DVDs (i386)
- 10 DVDs (x86_64)
So in all, There will be 100 DVDs at the KDE booth for CeBIT.
On all those dvds, I've been requested to stick a note saying how to
install KDE from the fedora dvds.
Cheers,
Chitlesh

New FAmSCo Election Rules
by Francesco Ugolini
We are pleasant to announce that, after a long discussion, FAmSCo has
changed the mandate term of its members from a year to two (2) major
releases of Fedora. This decision came from the consideration that it's
necessary to have a continuity in the guidance of Ambassadors and in
FAmSCo work.
To see the changes please refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Election/Rules
The actual FAmSCo will stay in charge since Fedora 8 will be release,
after this the Chair will call for new election and the new FAmSCo
members will stay in charge for two (2) major releases.
Thanks for your attention.

Fedora interviews
by Dimitris Glezos
Hey all.
Today I remembered we have this nifty project called Interviews:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Interviews
Basically members of the community throw a dozen of questions to other members
and we get to know what they are hacking on and get to see a picture of them.
It would be great if some ambassadors could keep this going! These interviews
are very interesting and require little time to write the questions. The
interviews could be featured on our Fedora News or on our Planet too.
Any ideas for future interviewees? Someone who'd like to step forward for the
next interview? :)
