Re: [Ambassadors] Fedora Ambassadors Welcome
by Buddhike Kurera
Hi,
>> Welcome to the world of Fedora Am. team.
>
> please respect our request not to answer to the welcome messages.
We discussed what does
""Regards Joerg
p.s. Please do not send private "Welcome" Messages to Ambassador List""
means in the APAC meeting too.[1]
The answer was DO NOT SEND new welcome mails to the list.
Replying is ok.
In other case Joerg also noted ""do not to send "" he never noted ""do
not reply""
So replying make the deed ok.
So I respect him and all fedorians.
> please do so on a ersonal basis, instead of publicly.
I disagree with you here, welcoming the newcomers in the list make
sense. We do not
need to send private mails. Replying to the thread is more than enough
that make the
newcomers feels we are a family. I m just doing this to make them feel
that not for the
publicity. A reply from the list make more sense rather than a private mail.
However it is good to have a open discussion and make this clarify.

what prospective ambassadors can do apart from holding linux events
by Ankur Sinha
Hello,
I just re-read nirik's post on community suppport[1]. I happened to read
the fedora new ambassador's mentor process page right after it[2]. Would
it be a good idea to ask prospective ambassadors to help with community
support on #fedora and the user list?
Why?
- they'd learn a lot from the irc channel and the list, about fedora,
about issues, common bugs, fixes, packages, etc.
- they'd know where to direct new users for troubleshooting.
- they'd be in a better position to solve problems at the events they
hold.
- they'd learn how to interact with people, both senior fedora
contributors who hang out on the irc, and new users, (and trolls, and
etc. etc.)
- more community support to users.
Thanks,
regards,
Ankur

Fedora Event - Augsburger Linux-Infotag 2011
by Vinzenz Vietzke
Dear Ambassadors,
On March 26th, 2011 the 10th "Linux-Infotag" will take place in my
hometown Augsburg, southern Germany.
This event is one of the biggest Linux and FLOSS shows in southern
Germany which has it's 10th anniversary upcoming. Organizer is the Linux
User Group Augsburg in cooperation with the local college.
I'd like to have a Fedora booth at this event and would take all the
organisational work. So I set up a wiki page with some detailed
information. [1]
The main thing I need are Ambassadors at the event, besides the usual
booth stuff.
Is anyone interested to join? Or do you have hints or ideas for me?
Regards, vinz.

Event Report: Fedora 14 Release Party, Dhaka, Bangladesh
by Angel
Bangladesh Linux Users Alliance (BLUA) is organizing the Fedora and Ubuntu
release party every year, for quite a long time. From the past record, our
release party means, a seminar in a University, where we talk about Linux,
and Open Source, distributing Free Live Media etc. But for the first time,
this release party was like a real Party. And this is the first time we
celebrated the grand release party for two of the most popular Linux distro
jointly with Fedora Bangladesh and Ubuntu Bangladesh. BLUA helped to
organize this event in conjunction with these two Local Team.
It was on December 4, in a restaurant at Dhanmaondi. The guests were shown
the demo of the new released versions. A lot of Linux users and enthusiasts
participated at the party. The CD/DVD and t-shirts embedded with Fedora and
Ubuntu logos were distributed among the guests. The t-shirts and the cake
was the most surprised item. As a wrap up, we also had snacks and drinks
there. In background, we enjoyed the music of Armin Van Buuren.
The party was awesome, and the Fedora and Ubuntu fans that attended really
enjoyed themselves. Everyone was impressed. It is our most successful event,
no doubt.
Now we are planning to organize similar release party in different districts
of Bangladesh in the near future.

Self introduction
by Vinzenz Vietzke
Hi,
thanks for the welcome to Joerg!
As this is my first post I'd like to introduced myself to you:
My name is Vinzenz Vietzke, I'm 26 years old and live in Augsburg,
southern Germany. I am working as educator/pre-school teacher.
My first (unsatisfying) contact with Linux was in 1999 with Suse 6.0.
Since 2006 I'm using Linux as preferred operating system, starting with
the unavoidable Ubuntu. Moving to Debian a lot of distributions
followed, ending up and staying for a long time at Archlinux.
Since mid-2010 I am "fedoraised" and now want to involve myself into the
project.
I've been working on various Linux and open source projects, especially
on maintaining packages for Archlinux, translating Debian packages and a
lot of different tool on Launchpad. [1]
As I'm a pre-school teacher my abilities in conversation, explaining and
training would be useful - not least for grown ups. :)

Hopefully you got something like a approximate idea of me and my
efforts. If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask me!
Best regards,
