-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello fellow ambassadors, I am not responsible for this being this way so do not give me credit for it but I was looking at my classes for degree and found that one of my classes in my networking administration degree used to have Fedora as a requirement to pass the class :) Update: It appears after revisiting it that said requirement was changed from Fedora to "a linux distribution" Implying that any will do. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iJwEAQECAAYFAkmlZNsACgkQh7SjI2F18kPztQQAqN2Dp2ymcHShoSmWl4VBYgZd qm+jjbufUnAM9q7VJIZEiP4XnAyWoLWJYWkr/euxG59en8Jrx230NDxUOXXTmjcc J5PVKj3oyRrzyPRZE9kO4khLLUrOgiHayQL76HEZ4Mez84qRrXdbGs31adl0UtIJ P/xbU9PsCTubh1dCGXI= =AlXd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

There are many ways to contribute: promoting fedora in your city, talk with people who could became possible contributors and so on, join events etc. There isn't a powerful meter than ourselves :) For the "inactive/active mailing list discussion" see FAmSCo answer at: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2009-February/msg00… Regards Francesco Ugolini

by Rafael Gomes 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Hi Guys, I translated the website talk.fedoraproject for brazilian portuguese and I am interested to use this project in Brazil. Is there a documentation about configuration in twinkle or ekiga? Because for both case in website there is this information "(Coming Soon)" I configured twinkle and ekiga and it is very easy, I think. Can I do this documentation or already is there other one? Thanks, Rafael Gomes Consultor em TI Embaixador Fedora LPIC-1 (71) 8146-5772

Ed Tech Day Ithaca College in NY
by Karlie Robinson 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Forgive the cross posting as this is sort of crossing over between an Ambassador Event and an OLPC SIG item. I just got off the phone with EdTech Day[1] organizers at Ithaca College and they will be giving me a speakers slot in their program to talk about the XO - after all you can't get much more edtech than that. I want the focus to be on what I know about - obviously - Fedora/OLPC together in harmony and changing the world one line of code at a time - specifically what's going on today at Fedora to propel the OLPC Mission. So most likely 4th grade math curriculum and the massive amount of work being done regarding packages. More importantly, this is your opportunity to fill me full of talking points. Of course I'm happy to wing it, but I'd really love it if you could tell me more about what's important to you. If you were giving the talk, what should be said? ~Karlie [1] http://www.ithaca.edu/edtechday/

Inactive Ambassadors Proposal - FAmSCo answer
by Francesco Ugolini 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Your voice is a real precious one and FAmSCo is really interested in knowing what you think about this topic and the other interesting connected discussions. This discussion clearly show us the different POVs that each person has. For a variety of reason everyone here explained clearly and with good argumentations his/her reasons: this demonstrated how deep is your interest in the project and the real passion you have. Now it's time to take a decision, the most reasonable and the best one for the project but, firstly, for all Ambassadors, especially the active ones. FAmSCo had a discussion during its last meeting and in its list, finally we all agreed to work on a clean up of the wiki page, as described in the first mail on this thread [1]. Also, we will stay in touch with Local Contacts and, absolutely, with the community, tracking the evolution of all the concerns moved and, if needed, taking action on those one. I think this discussion helped each other to face one of the most complicated and difficult discussion, your words were as useful as precious for the future of this project (even if you could see the effects in the short time).
