registering your nick to get into #fedora

by threethirty

I know this is an old discussion, but I have a new example. At OLF Ben was helping this guy install F13 on this old laptop, so while it was installing he set up a vm on his macbook and was playing around with it. As we got to talking I mentioned that he could get help on IRC and he wanted some help setting that up. Here is where the problem starts. I was showing him how to do IRC with irssi, its the only client I really know how to use well enough to show anyone (I tried xchat but couldnt remember where everything was) and I think this was just way too much for him. He was following along perfectly until we had to start the nick registration. I don't know if this story is going to change any policy or anyone's mind on the matter, but I really wish we would change this policy to make it easier on new (even brand new) users and on ambassadors. just my $0.02USD -- Justin "threethirty" O'Brien Fedora Ambassador & Marketing Team Member threethirty(a)fedoraproject.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Threethirty threethirty on freenode.net @threethirty - twitter/identi.ca/jaiku Phone: +1 (765) 688-0723 DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed in this email are my own, not those of any employer (past/present/future).

Re: [Ambassadors] Oct 8th - Etherpad FAD at Olin College! (Outside Boston, MA)

by Colin Zwiebel

Hey logistics, marketing, ambassadors, college ambassadors. The Olin College FAD is ON! I'd like to open this invitation to the the wider Fedora community. New to the Fedora community, java-devel is about the only list I can spam, so kindly send this to relevant parties. You have my permission to modify as appropriate. On the Boston side, I would especially like to reach other colleges (MIT? BU? BC? Wellesley? North-Eastern? etc.) Part of those communities or know someone who is, tell me about it! And always, would love to hear thoughts, praise, complaints, hopes and dreams. Cheers, Colin ---------- ---------- [image: ep_fad_poster_x500.png] Oct 8th starting 5pm - Oct 9th We're holding a Hackathon / Fedora Activity Day at Olin College in Needham, MA! Etherpad is open source software for teams to type together on the same document. Join a team of students, alumni, and Fedora Linux hackers as we improve Etherpad for ourselves and the world! Cut to the chase: *http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Etherpad_FAD* == What is EtherPad? == Etherpad is pretty much the pinnacle of online, collaborative text editing. If you're not familiar with EtherPad, take a look at this video<http://www.viddler.com/explore/aaroniba/videos/1/> . == Backstory == EtherPad was acquired by Google in 2008 and the code was open-sourced (yay!). Buuut the EtherPad code-base isn't exactly in a packageable state, as demonstrated by SDZ, here <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Etherpad>. (SDZ is an Olin student!) Thus we plan to: * Repackage EtherPad in a consistent, portable way, more best-practice form * Create compliant, Fedora packages for EtherPad * Setup EtherPad instance on Fedora Infrastructure (infrastructure managers, sorry, quietly stop choking and shoot me an email so I can explain Fud + EtherPad = awesome and discuss how to go about that) * Teach non-Propeller-heads about OSS development and the technologies used == When? == ** *Friday, October 8th - Saturday, October 9th* ** (and maybe early Sunday if we get some of the no-sleep crowd). Dinner on Friday. Dinner and lunch Saturday. Can attend in person? Remotely join us! See the wiki<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Etherpad_FAD#I.27m_far_away_.2F_can.27t_ph...> . == Us ? == Andy, Sebastian and I are Olin College students and long-time linux users, and total EtherPad fanboy. We would love to give back to all three of these communities and help people get involved in open source software. Finally, there is generally just a lot of cool technical stuff inside EtherPad? Server-side-JS? Scala? Comet? Collaborative diffing? Web-service architecture? Your totally welcome to come and geek out on these topics, and maybe learn a thing or two about how EtherPad works. Check us out on the wiki and twitter: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Etherpad_FAD http://twitter.com/olinetherpadfad Cheers, Colin, Sebastian, Andy P.S. You've probably never heard of Olin College, but you should totally look at the crazy higher-ed experiment we're running: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olin_college

Renesas DevCon '10

by Paul W. Frields

Are there any Ambassadors in the Los Angeles/Anaheim/CA area who are considering attending the 2010 Renesas DevCon conference? http://renesasdevcon.com/ It's more of a related culture conference than a purely free software conference. I understand some Red Hat folks will be there and they asked whether we'd have anyone there. -- Paul W.

by Gerold

Hi, as far as you all remember, I promised to support the organizer from FUDCon in Switzerland. Right now, I can announce, that I was able to promise you -as attendee- a special topic. For those who stay until monday I can organise a sightseeing at CERN [1] the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. A friend of mine which is a Doctor in Physics works at the ATLAS Project [2] and will do a guided tour for us. We can also have a lok (unfortunatly not a touch) in their computing cluster. Mostly the CERN runs which runs Scintific Linux ... If you're interested let me know! friendly yours Gerold [1] http://public.web.cern.ch/public/ [2] http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/ATLAS-en.html

Leaving Ambassador Group

by Frank Murphy

Hi Gang, I'm leaving the Ambassador Group. To be honest, I havn't fulfilled any of the duties of an Ambassador, as they are known\used today. The reasons are many and varied, but irrelevant. I see no benefit to Fedora in hanging around to be a statistic. If circumstances change in the future, I may be looking for a mentor. Can someone point me the correct method of this, FAS etc. -- Regards, Frank Murphy UTF_8 Encoded Friend of Fedora
