Drupalistas: Call for participation on Fedora Insight

by Pascal Calarco

Hi Fedora Ambassadors -- Do you have intermediate to advanced Drupal 6 skills, and some time to apply these to benefit the Fedora community? Would you be interested in leveraging these to help spread the word about Fedora? If so, then we have a great opportunity for you! Fedora Insight[1] is a content portal for aggregated news, views, and events about the Fedora Project that a multi-faceted team has been working on over the last while. The vision is to build a rich, dynamic one-stop place to get the latest news on Fedora. The first content we're incorporating is Fedora Weekly News[2], and we're in the midst of themeing the site as well as creating new Views for FWN issues. Come join us! We meet Thursdays on irc.freenode.net If you are interested, please join the Fedora logistics list[3], and introduce yourself to the team! We've also started a new Fedora Project Drupal group[4] for more recruitment, so join us there too, once it has been approved by the moderators there! Thanks so much! - pascal [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN [3] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/logistics [4] http://groups.drupal.org/fedora-project-linux-distribution --- Pascal Calarco, Fedora Ambassador & FWN Editor http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pcalarco

1 Desktop spins DVD vs. 4 Desktop spins CDs ?

by Sascha Thomas Spreitzer

Hello friends, I just wanted to know about your opinion, if we should consider replacing the current 4 CDs of Desktop spins media production with the 1 DVD which contains all 4 spins? Maybe even with F14 ? ( eg. would save money, because of mass production leverage. ) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with kind regards, Sascha Thomas Spreitzer http://spreitzer.name/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sspreitzer Warum mache ich überhaupt dieses ganze OpenSource Zeugs?

Hardware Bits...

by Manuel Escudero

Hi, My Name is Manuel Escudero, I'm a Fedora Ambassador from México. See, I'm looking for a Hardware Builder, an IHV, I mean, a small company or person who can Build custom machines for me, and I was wondering if there's someone here in the ambassadors group who can help me with this task, I want to explore as many options as possible, so I want to have some information about the Independent Hardware Vendors out there in the ambassadors group. Any information would be useful for me, in order to have more control about the options, (and to avoid using the list very much) I suggest you to fill out this form: http://goo.gl/8w64 Thanks! -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlevick(a)googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: DAE3 82E9 D68E 7AE4 ED31 1F8F 4AF4 D00C 50E7 ABC6
