Virtual Linux Convention Suggestions for Requirements
by Markus McLaughlin
I want to make this clear, I am NOT a programmer. I only know how to design
a framework in GIMP for HTML/CSS programmers to show what code would need to
be filled in. The example on my linux blog at linuxglobe.wordpress.com,
shows what I had in mind as far as the high bandwidth. The low bandwidth
option would eliminate the video and just use the audio. I do agree with
the Fedora programmers that OGG Theora is the best means for the video
streaming/encoding. As far as the audio streaming/encoding, I like to see
two formats used : Vorbis and AAC (which is itunes friendly.) The Low
bandwidth option should be able to support animations for ADs for various
Linux products. Something similar to Flash is the best method.
The Chat Rooms would be based on either openJDK or IRC technology with the
capability of adding small
avatar icons representing the folks who enter in the rooms.
The Virtual FUDcon would be hosted at FUDcon.fedoraproject.org and/or on a
Joomla hosted site that's
FREE and Open Sourced. I can provide some creative skills to such a project
if other Programmers are
willing to "hear" me out. If there were such a thing as a Open Sourced
QuickTime VR archived video of
the Convention Hall, etc, that would be truly amazing technology to add. I
was thinking one way of
advertising these Virtual Conventions other than posting a little "AD" on
linuxtoday.com or linuxformat.co.uk, etc., would be depending on the major
sponsor to place small ADs on boston.com (Boston Globe,) nytimes.com,
washingtonpost.com, msnbc.com, cnn.com, bbcnews.com, and trektoday.com.
More mainstream sites with a high tech or a special section would attract
more people to want to learn about
a Linux OS and such matters.

Have a good week!

Magazine article
by Paul W. Frields
The opportunity's come up to have a contributor write for a Linux
newsstand publication -- an 8-9 page article covering installation and
simple beginning configuration for Fedora 9. The article can contain
some screenshots of the kind normally found in these types of
publications.
This requires a person to *commit* to have the article ready by around
June 15th. Kara and I will get you hooked up with the magazine
publishers for all the details, which are between you and the
publication's editors.
This is a great chance for someone to get involved with publicizing
Fedora 9 in a way that is guaranteed to reach thousands of readers.
Interested? Get in touch with me or Kara offline.

Fedora 9: Get yours and get involved
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-get-yours-and-get-invol...
"Over the last year, we’ve seen the number of contributors skyrocket
along with the popularity of our “upstream” mantra. Our users–over 2.2
million just for Fedora 8–know that we strive to provide the very best
in what works today, with every release. Our developer contributors
understand that working closely with upstream communities leads to
better code, features, maintainability, and adoption throughout the FOSS
world."

Virtual FUDcon High and Low Bandwidth Options
by Markus McLaughlin
High Bandwidth Virtual FUDcon
Live Video/Archived Video/Animations with IRC-style "Booths"
Low Bandwidth Virtual FUDcon
Live Audio Streaming/Archived Audio with IRC-style "Booths"
This can be applied to any Linux Convention not just to FUDcon...
Please discuss this topic, it would be so great for the next FUDcon,
to have these Virtual extensions established as well as Virtual
Conventions/Meetings for other Linux matters...
