is there HCL for Fedora 8?
by Nayyar Ahmad
Hi *,
today talking on freenode's #fedora i came to know that there is'nt any
standard HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) for fedora 8, possibly reason
Fedora's 13 month life cycle, but i thought there must be one for at least
more stable hardware?
Regards,

North & South America meeting time
by Matt McKenzie
Hello,
I have recently joined the Fedora Ambassadors.
I would like to know if it is possible to use a different time for the N&SAm
meeting on #fedora-meeting.
I live on the west coast (Oregon), and it would be difficult to attend this
meeting on Monday at 12:00pm PST (20:00UTC) in the middle of the work day.
Perhaps we can discuss a better meeting time for those of us in the western
hemisphere, since N&SAm are several hours off from UTC depending on where we
live? 20:00UTC is good if you live near Greenwich, UK but it is difficult
to attend an online meeting in the middle of the business day.
For PST it is 12:00pm, which could mean lunch hour, but what about CST and
EST? What if you don't have an hour for lunch, or you don't have internet
access?
It is most likely too late to change it for March but perhaps for April?
I also hear a lot about the EMEA Ambassadors, LinuxTag and all these cool
events in Europe. What about N&S America?
Are there not many ambassadors in these areas?
Thanks.

To the EMEA NPO Board about NPO Logo
by Joerg Simon
I noticed a mail about a extra logo for the EMEA NPO - over the NPO
Board-List - which is closed for normal members like me.
That the list is closed - is absolut ok - if you discuss things like which
bank account you will choose or when your next Boardmeeting will happen.
But if you discuss things that affects the way how Fedora EMEA NPO presents
the Fedora Project or the NPO itself like this Logo Proposal i insist that
you do this in the open!

CLT08 Day2
by Joerg Simon
CLT08 Day2
CLT is over and i wished i could say we all arrived savely, but right now Jens
Kuehnel makes a odysee accross Germany to reach Amsterdam in the netherlands
latest tomorrow, because RedHat needs a trainer there! But Storm "Emma"
destroyed the ways so he started an 01:00pm in Chemnitz - direction north -
Leipzig - then further to Frankfurt Main - but much to late, because some
ways are destroyed - so he must take a train to South of Germany Stuttgart to
take a train direct to Amsterdam. What really angry is, i started with Robert
Scheck at 06:00pm in the evening and reached Stuttgart two hours ago!
After all, like Jens said yesterday - if you want contribute on a OpenSource
Event, never Start with CLT - you will compare every event with this "best of
the best" organized events and don´t want miss it anymore. In the other hand,
i can´t imagine to have a better start.
How was it? This event had the largest Debian presence i ever seen on a event.
So every time i spoke with people who showed potential to contribute to the
Fedora Project they commited "oh i use (contribute) only (to) Debian i would
only hear what you do" :(
Characteristic for Chemnitz is also, a high presence of women who are
interested in Free Software - Chitlesh do you remember last year? And so i
tried also to blabbing they in the Fedora Project but as before they use
Debian, Ubuntu or one of the three BSD´s - geeky women! If you ask for
potential of the "others", yes there is, but we need easier access as example
for "Users" who want translate or do documentation work. Robert had his own
little "install fest" with a guy who really needed his help. Jens gave his
talk - and again i did´nt seen it.
See some pictures <http://www.simline.de/CLT08/> - and notice this event shows
much potential for contributors and i would suggest to raise the presence
next year.

CLT08 Stormy Day 1
by Joerg Simon
CLT08 Stormy Day 1
Storm "Emma"(in Germany a Wether phenomenon is named) catched us right as we
leave the hotel so we had a really wet stormy start in this great day.
Chemnitz is the former City "Karl-Marx-Stadt" and in front of the hotel there
was a 3 Floor high Head of Karl Marx (!) - not sure what i should think about
it.
First - hurray our fedora flag hung on the same place - so no trouble were to
fear.
After placed the tech. Equipment - one Fedora 8 Laptop with Gnome, one Rawhide
Laptop with KDE4, one OLPC B2 and a ALIX Board (close to the olpc hardware)
wich is running Fedora.
We started a IRC Session on the KDE Laptop so the visitors could ask questions
on the fedora-de channel - without knowing it visitors are allready using one
main aspect in the Kommunikation of the FedoraProject - but we told them!
As a further aspect we started the Wiki with the "Join Fedora" Web-Page, not
in german but in english because the german translation of this page is
translated with the german courtliness-form to say a polite "you" (no idea
how to explain this correct) and for the audience in Chemnitz this is a way
to dissociate - so Fabian ;) we will discuss to find a way that match all -
anyway thanks for your great work to translate all this stuff - as you see,
we work on reinforcement - as example the two who asked you on IRC.
On the Booth we had all kind of people Students, Professors, Kids, EndUser,
Developer, Admins ...
To hire them for Fedora is not easy, often i focused on the translation and
artwork part of the project - i was happy that i had seen Dimitris Glezos
Transifex talk last week - but this was surely not enough, so Fabian - i hope
you get much questions and contributors. What we really achieved here? Much
to less in form to get more committed contributors - but tomorrow is another
chance!
I visited the OLPC talk of Christoph Derndorfer olpc.at and i was impressed
about the work that they have done and how many non technical ideas are
behind it - nice side effect he told me that he visited Boston in the last
weeks and had lunch with Greg de Koenigsberg so always the same suspects ;-)
Dear Reader, if you are a Package Maintainer for Fedora, there is a list wich
Fedora Packages are on the OLPC , so look, maybe you have done more then you
know for the OLPC Project. We had a 10 year old girl on the booth that was
playing 30 min with the OLPC, then she found a application and asked me hey
it is in english why is it not german i tryed to solve this whith
sugar-control-panel - but it was not there, after a view minutes in the OLPC
Wiki and a short chat with Dennis Gilmore we deside not to ruin the OLPC B2
with upgrading it to a newer version - because i need it in good shape in a
view days on the OpenExpo in Bern to support Fabian on his Booth.
The social event was great as always - Menu 5 courses - great entertainment -
i will look for some pictures.
Thanks to everyone who encouraged me - it helps me to work on my clumsy
english ;-)
