Hello; I newly joined this group. I am From Iran. I think my case is very special because I'm from an embargoed destination (Iran). Regarding these restrictions, could you tell me what kind of tasks can I do? I have some plans for Fedora in Iran. I'm waiting for your helps and comments.

Finally prepared the offline repo for the Install Fest at Kalyani Govt. College
by Ratnadeep Debnath 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hello, Finally I have prepared an offline Fedora 10 repo ( though not complete), which is ready to install all the basic audio, video, image softwares, audio-video codecs, KDE 4.2 update, KdeEdu, VirtualBox, Kernel 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686, nvidia drivers, etc. I successfully installed updates in my system and another system of my friend offline via an FTP server. I have also prepared a kickstart file to automate Fedora 10 installation. Hope this all works fine and smoothly during the day of the Install Fest in Kalyani Govt. College. Regards, Ratnadeep Debnath, DGPLUG http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Rtnpro ratnadeepdebnath.wordpress.com

Of course if Fedora is indeed barred from distribution on your area, you could always work with a Fedora based distribution that isn't subject to US law. However of course that would mean support would be more limited. Hopefully we'll be able to resolve this easily.

This is a good thing, but let me thinking that maybe I am a bit too much enthusiastic. Trying to encompass unresponsive (or dead) ambassadors with not kicking people out... what we need is a better way to direct people to those who do respond. The problem is I can't imagine a way of doing this without making a system that pings people. The report template make sense to show where you last drop your participation. Maybe we need some one with an esthetically appreciation to design a chronological template to brag about last stuff that they have done, then invite people to use it. Those who pick up this will more likely to be contacted as they show recent activity. Luckily this may became a common practice. I feel the urge to keep this going as the idea of ambassador template that was for having the minimal info .... never happened. I still feel that some housekeeping will be good. But I am trying to propose a less passionate approach, trying to be half way with other perspectives. Not sure If I am making sense, or if I am attaining a middle ground. Probably I am deflating my two cents by writing too much :) -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Check: http://www.clickmanagua.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list Fedora-ambassadors-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list I think most active Ambassadors agree some criteria needs set to address inactive folks. Would requiring at least a wiki page update every quarter be enough? This indicator is easier to track than irc attendance. A housekeeping, second step, would be to archive all the wiki pages that correspond with bounced list addresses. -- Kam http://kamsalisbury.com GPG key: FAF1751E
