January 2016 - ambassadors - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Giannis Konstantinidis

Hello everyone, during the last EMEA irc meeting, I proposed that we should make sure all active communities within our region are equipped with basic booth equipment such as roll-up banners and tableclothes. Currently, there is just one or two tableclothes for the whole region. Not every community has its own roll-up banners and while some do, these are not anymore in a proper working condition (e.g. colors have started fading out, stands are showing signs of heavy use). Spending budget on such an initiative can be considered a good investment, since the equipment produced will last for years and will enable our communities to look overall more professional when representing the project during events and conferences. We still have a significant amount of the current fiscal year's budget unspent and we can definitely use some of it. Does your community lack some booth equipment? Please visit the following wiki page and let us know: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/Community_Equipment Ideas, thoughts, feedback? -Giannis -- Giannis Konstantinidis giannis(a)konstantinidis.cc http://konstantinidis.cc giannisk on irc.freenode.net

Re: EMEA Community Equipment Initiative Local Vendor Price List

by Giannis Konstantinidis

Hey Ardian, thanks for stepping up. Yes, it makes sense that in some cases it might be cheaper for communities to produce stuff locally. If people are willing to do so, they may get quotes, produce stuff locally, then ask for a reimbursement. I don't think we need to have separate wiki pages for this, I have merged the content and updated the previous page we had. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/Community_Equipment Should you get quotes from local vendors, go ahead and update that table w/ the prices. Cheers! -Giannis -- Giannis Konstantinidis giannis(a)konstantinidis.cc http://konstantinidis.cc giannisk on irc.freenode.net

EMEA Community Equipment Initiative Local Vendor Price List

by Ardian Haxha

Dear all, In our last EMEA Ambassadors meeting we had a discussion on booth equipment, one of the points mentioned was the problems some communities face with customs. One suggestion is to produce the stuff locally, this might be also cheaper in some countries maybe ? I have created a wiki page where every community/country can add the prices. Feel free to add new stuff to the list. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/EMEA/Community_Equipment_Cost#... Kindly. -- Ardian Fedora Ambassador https://fedoraproject.org

FAmNA: BrickHack 2016

by Justin W. Flory

Hello all, Tonight at the Fedora Ambassadors of North America meeting, we went over Ticket #131, which proposes a new event for Ambassadors to attend in early March. https://fedorahosted.org/famna/ticket/131 BrickHack is an annual hackathon event at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY, where students from around the country flock to RIT for a weekend of programming and contest. They create things, solve practical problems, compete for prizes, and interact with sponsors. As of January 28th, 2016, there are over 500 people confirmed and registered to attend. There is still another month of registration. This event also holds potential to connect with hundreds of students and teach about open source, Linux, and Fedora, which pairs nicely with the University Involvement Initiative proposed by the Council earlier in 2015. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RIT_BrickHack_2016 At our meeting, we were hoping to find out about any Ambassadors local to the area or interested in attending the event. As part of the sponsorship level we are able to have, it allows us to bring mentors to the event to help provide advice and assistance to students about programming help or problems. If you are interested or available, please add your name to the wiki page. Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
