Thanks herlo, to take this important task. > > CU Joerg Hi all, Thanks Joerg for passing the baton, I'll do my best to get the Mentoring Project off the ground and running smoothly. My hope is to make a great team effort to provide some positive mentoring experiences for the new (and upcoming) contributors. To start off with, Joerg tells me the mentors meeting never materialized last time, so I'd like to take a moment and see if we can't schedule another meeting for the Fedora Mentoring Project. I'd like to say that the point of this meeting is to help define some goals for the Mentoring Project going forward. We'll discuss what the NA Ambassadors (and any others) we can do with the information they've been gathering regarding mentoring. I've scheduled a meeting this coming Sunday, February 15 @ 16:00 UTC (That's 12pm ET, 6pm in Brussels) [1] and we meet in #fedora-meeting. Please make it a point to attend, we're going to discuss how we should move forward, basic goals and how we can make a positive impact. I'll be working on an agenda shortly, so watch for another email and if you have anything you'd like to submit, feel free to reply with suggestions.

Reminder: Mentor Meeting Tomorrow (and agenda)
by Clint Savage 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

I meant to send this to the ambassadors list. if you are currently an ambassador and interested in helping mentor new contributors, please join us. Hi all, I'm sorry it took me until this evening to get the Agenda out for tomorrow's Mentors meeting. The focus of tomorrow's meeting will be on bringing back the Mentoring Project. Some thoughts I had around the mentoring project and things we should consider discussing. This is a reminder for tomorrow's meeting at 16:00 UTC (That's 11am ET, 5pm in Brussels) I saw that we have a large list of mentors already listed on the Mentors page. I'd like to discuss the previous plan for mentors and integrate as much positive from it into a new process. Then, I'd like to discuss the following items: 1 - Working with leadership in each SIG / Sub-project to identify direct contacts for new contributors 2 - Providing resources to new contributors to help them find their way * Identify possible SIGs/Sub-projects which the new contributor might participate * Help them get a better understanding of the workflow in their chosen groups 3 - Each group has a slightly different join process, and we're here to lower that barrier, not do the work for them. What can we do to make it easier to become a contributor. 4 - Statistics gathering * The conversion ratio from those who join the project to those who contribute something (1 week, 1 month, 1 year, etc) See you all tomorrow Cheers, Clint

a fedora feature criticized
by gopal das 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hi, After seeing all the features of Fedora11 Alpha, everything appeared really impressive and nice except the one feature which may not bring a good future. *Feature "*20 second startup": Perhaps nobody will unhappy if a system starts up within 1 minuet when various services and scripts has been started correctly, attached new hardware detection is ok, other crucial job such as successfully scanning the whole file systems with huge data on it, successfully starts virtualization platform etc. But Surely everybody will annoyed when a system starts up within 20 second where without one of the said crucial jobs. In this regard myself and some of my close friends have experienced a start up problem (within 7 days I will confirm this is a bug or not) during testing the Fedora 10 final on both i386 and 64 platform. So I am eagerly want to ask that whether a server operating system really needs to up within 20 second? Cheers Gopal Das Fedora India Ambassador

Fedora Freemedia processing is now automated. Testing required. (please read.)
by susmit shannigrahi 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hi, I am really elated to let you know that we have successfully automated the Fedora Freemedia handling process. So far the freemedia request handling has been manual. A form was filled, a mail sent to the mailing list, postal addresses copied from the mail and updated to the wiki. This was pretty complex, and time consuming too. Now the process will be as easy as this: 1. Now the requester will come here[1]. Fill in the data, and will continue to the next page. 2. On continuing the trac ticket will be already filled with the data, all the requester will have to do is to click the "Submit Ticket" button. 3. A ticket will be filed here[2]. 4. The freemedia contributor will accept the ticket he/she is willing to ship. 5. When shipped, he/she will close the ticket. If you have any comment/suggession, please let me know. Also PLEASE play around with the system, file tickets, close tickets, and do whatever you want and let me know any bugs that you may have noticed. Lastly, thanks to all, who helped doing this possible. Thanks and awaiting bug reports..

12 02 2009 FAMSCO Meeting report
by Thomas Canniot 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hello and welcome to this fourth FAMSCO weekly meeting summary. The latest meeting was hold on the 12th February 2009 on #fedora-meeting Attendees: Rodrigo Padula Francesco Fugolini Joerg Simon Max Spevack Thomas Canniot David Nalley Regreted attendees: Susmit Shannigrahi Francesco starts by announcing the meeting agenda : 1) Budget 2) Current Tasks Review 1. Budget Max Spevack is at the helm of Budget for Q4 which ends tomorrow (13th Feb.). Some people maliciously uses the TRAC system to deal with budget requests which means that the message to use this new system is on its way. It will help Max a lot though. Max is also working on buying a CD duplicator for the LATAM community, at the request of Rodrigo Padula. Max is also dealing with sponsoring SouthEast LinuxFest Fedora people. The planning for Q1 is to be done next week. The RedHat budget for Q1 for ambassadors should be known very soon. Max highlights the way local leaders make managing budget easier. 2. Current Task Review ## Task Ambassadors Administration A git repo has been set up by the well known Fabian Affolter which will be used to maintain the script used to manage Ambassadors' accounts. Joerg Simon also specifies that TRAC system is also to be used to manage Ambassadors' registeration. ## Task Mentoring The first mentoring meeting welcomed 3 people only. A new one is to be organized in the next Sunday. ## Hungary and Rumanian investments Thanks to Max, we will send Jeroen van Meeuwen to Romania for the eLiberatica event. Dimitriz Glezos also agreed to attend a Translation Marathon in Kyrgysztan, where there is no native translation of any Operating system. Fedora will be the first translated one. About Hungary, we will have a event in Szeged later this year. The budget is still being discussed with Max. Joerg Simon also adds that there is no Hungarian ambassador, and one in Kyrgyzstan (mirlan) ## Release Parties Francesco is starting this task by the will to contact local leaders to ping FAMSCo as much as possible about their needs on organizing a Release Event. Rodrigo Padula is organizing the agenda for LATAM and the Release Event is going to be discussed soon. Thomas Canniot adds he will take care of it as well, and look at the needs in small Fedorian Communities in Africa and North America for a start, on the good advises of Francesco Fugolini, Joerg Simon and David Nalley. Moreover, Rodrigo Padula would like to help in Africa as well, as some countries speaks Portuguese. Rodrigo pointed out that there are ways of improving the sending of CD to these countries. Francesco decided to adjourn the meeting once everyone were full Thanks for reading and see you next week! Your Dear FAmSCo.

Slight change in schedule for FAD
by Larry Cafiero 12 Feb '09

12 Feb '09

Hi, all -- Our FAD is chaging airports -- as the room are named in the Westin Airport Los Angeles -- and instead of being in Kennedy, where just about everything else is taking place on Friday, we are going west a bit to "Chicago" and we'll be in the Midway room instead. So we'll be in Midway all day Friday, which turns out to be a plus because that means we don't have to change rooms for the Birds of a Feather. Just thought any interested parties should know. Larry Cafiero
