Hi All, I've already given my intro but still you may visit my fedora wiki userpage for more info User:Suchakra. I'm in India btw. == Ya, so coming to the point, I agree with Ryan on almost all points stated by him especially the one that local LUGs are dominated by Ubuntu users. Even in my campus, we have just had a local Ubuntu mirror up and working, but people have 2 take fedora discs and ISOs from me physically. The reason is simple - No proper introduction to the other distributions of linux to budding linux users. It makes one believe that Ubuntu is Linux and Linux is Ubuntu. Also in order to increase the fedora footprint, and encouraging technically sound guys (we have lots of them in our college) to contribute to the project, we need to have events and talks, be it on a small scale or large scale. I'm doing my share but just a class of 25 prospective students every 1.5 months is hardly what I want. Also, lots of stuff is needed for such events (stickers, badges, pens etc) and it becomes absolutely difficult even if i plan to procure them myself. I can give talks and presentations but to leave a Fedora print in someone's mind we do need the stuff. On a tight budget, surely, its difficult but I hope, Ambassador's program will be willing to help. I'l make my first try at having a little event organized and see the outcome. Oh and yes, we need the wiki structure worked out too. It surely is a good idea. I hope someone good with wiki editing may help. I shall try my best too. Just lets freeze the structure first. Lastly, its true we need a one point contact (the aristocracy Ryan talked bout) to get ourselves organized. That shall be sponsors I guess or guys with prior experience in managing events/spreading the word. One more thing, due to geographical differences, its almost impossible for me to be on freenode so we need to find a way out for that. I prefer the mailing list in digest mode. == Suchakra == http://suchakra.wordpress.com == On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 5:30 PM, <campus-ambassadors-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org&gt; wrote: > Send Campus-ambassadors mailing list submissions to >        campus-ambassadors(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >        https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/campus-ambassadors > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >        campus-ambassadors-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at >        campus-ambassadors-owner(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Campus-ambassadors digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > >   1.
