Hi Ankur,

Here is the clarification you need

1) This site is in support of free media program, not an
individual/different group.

2) As there are less ambassadors in western region of india,perticularly in
gujarat. we are getting more requests for free media and its difficult to
track all the requests so we have created this site.

3) This link is *only for End users who want to collect their media from us*
.

Pls contact me/nilesh sir for any further clarification,if required.

Thanks and Regards,

When the rest of Latin America will have this kind of service?

I know that Brazil have some FreeMedia Service but is not the most used
languaje in Latin America, so; sometimes is not properly to give a Spanish
user a DVD with a Brazilian cover.

Could we make a generic Spanish media to serve the rest of latin america?
(even Mexico and Central America)

Agreed. :)

There are 2 things that are puzzling me about this:
http://www.vglug.info/get-fedora-dvd

First of all, having a nice web form to ask for free media is great.
Couldn't we have that in the Fedora Infrastructure, instead of spreading
it in each countries ? This would give a bit more credibility to the
program cause "Hey, I don't know who those vglug guys are, I want a Fedora
media, can I trust them ?" ;)

It looks like there's already something more central on the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia

Adding a nice webapp with a form to automate the procedure that is
described on this page could be much better than doing this stuff each one
in a different location.

Second, we're talking about Free Media program right ? Not about the
vendors who want to distribute Fedora for profit (correct me if I'm
wrong).

However, the site specifies:
"We will be charging you for the media and for shipping and handling
expenses. (CD-Rs.15, DVD-Rs.25, S&H-Rs.35)"

Charging for the shippingand the media ? o_O

The same wiki page says:
"Fedora Free Media Program is a volunteer initiative under  Fedora
Distribution Project that aims to distribute Fedora Media (DVDs) for free
to individuals who can't afford to buy or download."

This one says:
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Information)
"#  Limit to only 1 DVD per request per person per release to cut cost and
time.
# Please note this is a volunteer initiative by local Fedora Ambassadors
or Contributors who are willing to burn DVDs and ship them with their own
resources (DVD writer, blank media, shipping materials and postage).
# This means they can only ship a limited number of DVDs per week. You can
expect them to send out an average of 2 DVDs a week.
# Your Free Media request might not be fulfilled at this time as this
program depends on their own time and expenses."

So it looks to me that your site should be more something like
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/OnlineVendors

Maybe that's what you wanted to talk about, but as the subject of the mail
is "Submit your request for Free Fedora DVD",...

On  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia

It shows the different "country programs" all controlled by Fedora-Free
Media Project.

Beacause it was felt these coutries could be handles by the local
volunteers.

Well , I'd suggest for working with the existing process of official
FreeMedia program, and not creating a separate branch (that ll be
confusing)

The current process is integrated (not best automated though) and
thats why it is important, you can accept requests and contribute
without creating additional forms and stop points.

ofcource you can keep your own database of requests.

Fedora Ambassadors contribute and run the FreeMedia program here
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia) as already mentioned.

i guess you can call this a contribution to the program...

It is perfectly clear you want to help, and it is possible to have a
India specific (country specific) request page so that it is easier to
handle things at that level, but it should be an official one,
otherwise as i said it will be confusing.

Thanx for your suggestion.

Our idea is to provide around 500 dvd's per month. ( I hope we can maintain
it in long run).

For me it is difficult to track the record of the mail.

So that why we created this.

If it not suitable with fedora ambassador project we will close the form
from our community website.

More suggestion are welcom.

Thanx for your reply.

hi !

Since we cannot handle over a limited number of request per month .but
quest for dvd is still there .

I feel what vlug guys have done is a good inititiative . if this can
be done in regional basis on all countries having bandwidth problem
and if we integrate them to freemedia program , i guess we can cover
more request  in a whole lot organised way .

My personal experience :
http://subhodipbiswas.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/sending-a-freemedia-dvd/

If somebody has solution why not try implementing it .

just a thought tho .

[Satish Eerpini]

yes guys , its a great initiative , .....
ideas like this might help us remove the one disadvantage we have when
compared to utnubu ( or so people believe ) , that we can't provide
free media as good as they do ( good in the sense the time and
availability of delivery ) , ....

but all these activities need to be more centralised , they can be
regionalised but have to be under a central authority ( for
credibility issues ) , ... and are extremely useful in countries like
india ........

as far as my knowledge goes , Fedora is greatly popular in india
because it comes in a DVD( DVD is the most popular one ) which has
everything you would ever need !

please do correct me if i am wrong  , ....

Hello Everyone,

Greetings.  :)

Seems like a renewal of interest to support India, fantastic!  :)

At this url,

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia

there is a Fedora Free Media Contributors link for

"...
 *   Join the program to become Fedora Free Media Contributors
..."

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/Contributors

As an idea to get to the users, join the Contributors and help that Distribution team.  ;)

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia#Fedora_Free_Media_Program_India

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/India

Please have a good day and a wonderful weekend!  :~)

Thank You

I hope we must have local contacts registered somewhere.
So that people don't have to move in the darkness.

And Is there something Fedora Admin Team doing?

I can provide DVD and CDs to people who need them, 
but I might run out of them if so much need is there!

We must come up with a more precise and long lasting solution.
All local level fedora and Linux user groups around the globe must unite
and register them
somewhere as support system for fedora.

We can then spread the word brilliantly.

I don't know but I guess this will be great.

There's no admin team label per say,
but there is a marketing group.
Maybe contact there, and give them your ideas, concerns irc.freenode.net
#fedora-mktg or the marketing mailing-list

Theres a whole group of volunteers that can help,
only do what you can..

Fedora is not in competition with any other distro,
different strokes for different folks.

Apologies for correct netiquette

Contact Marketing,
just to be sure you get the best advice possible.

Hello Nehal, Nilesh, & as well as the Fedora Ambassadors.  :)

I understand your messages.  :)

Nehal and Nilesh, more power to the both of you and your efforts for spreading Fedora 9 to the Western region of India.  Most certainly, that is a great task.  :)

I see your efforts as admirable indeed.  :v)

Please have a great day and an enjoyable weekend!  :~)

Thank You

Hi Ankur,

Here is the clarification you need

1) This site is in support of free media program, not an individual/different group.

2) As there are less ambassadors in western region of india,perticularly in gujarat. we are getting more requests for free media and its difficult to track all the requests so we have created this site.

3) This link is only for End users who want to collect their media from us.

Pls contact me/nilesh sir for any further clarification,if required.

Thanks and Regards,
Nehal Dattani.

2008/9/5 ankur sinha

hi,need to clarify.. Do we (people who have volunteered to provide free media by accepting requests) have to use this site or is it for people who need free media (ones using the form) ??
