Re: [fedora-india] What is the easiest way to find an Ambassador near to oneself ?

I'd suggest a quarterly What I'm doing report as mandatory for all ambassadors: All you've got to do is mail to the list, with relevant info and links(some way of knowing that you are actually up to something).Also, the work should be Fedora oriented. Just being part of an LUG isn't enough for a Fedora ambassador. That's one way but not the only way and neither is it a full proof one. While reporting being an essential part of ambassador activity, we can not entirely base the system upon this. A mix of the various ways is a good choice rather. Active ambassadors must be tracked and a record should be kept. That IMHO is a must. I have seen a lot of discussion on this topic but no conclusions yet. Coming to the end user, I have seen, some days back, someone mailed every ambassador he could find but one who replied is not from his location. Rather he helped him find the correct person. Remote assistance is also an effectivve way. Think of Shakthi and me helping out Agartala people to organize the event. What is important is to know what the end user wants and acting accordingly. Still I agree that locational advantage is good but IMHO it is not a must.

But freemedia needs more extensive thinking. We were a little confused about this too. But the option that PLUG uses (request media) is going to gather some money which can be used for free media just as Ankur mentioned. Also , what if we give the option to the freemedia requesters whether it is possible to pay the postage or whether it is possible to collect it personally. If we get a response, we can act accordingly. We already do ask people if it is possible fro them to collect personally and I have served such requests too. But I guess we are not allowed to talk about money on the freemedia platform, are we? Anyways, the PLUG [1] style system will be setup for the few LUGs which agreed upon it namely Manipal LUG, NIT Dgp LUG and NIT Agartala. We will try to bring in other LUGs as well.

On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 9:09 AM, susmit shannigrahithinklinux@gmail.com wrote: But we have a *lot* of LocalContacts, but does that fulfill any of the freemedia requests? I have not seen any. Very true. Local contacts can serve requests which originate from within a rang of a few kilometres. Anything beyond that boils down to the same postage issue. Even the next city is out of reach for local contacts. People are not willing to travel and collect the media themselves. It is much easier for them to obtain a pirated Windows CD. One alternative is to use VPP [1] . If we can keep some option as Susmit suggested, I want to pay or I don't want to pay and if free media is not free as in free beer, then we can send the media through VPP and collect the money from India Post once the media is delivered. I am not sure though what will happen if the delivery is refused. According to India Post site, it will be returned to the sender and the sender needs to pay any outstanding dues, not sure what outstanding dues mean but that can be found out easily. Once a freemedia request is accepted, the acceptor can mail the requester and take his confirmation before mailing the disc through VPP. In this way the chances of denial during delivery will be reduced a lot. The requester will have to pay approximately Rs 50 (cost of DVD + postage).

[fedora-india] Fedora Campus Ambassador Project
Hi all I came across this project page a few days back and opened the discussion on #fedora-ambassadors list. I was amazed by the fact that there are no owners of the initiative yet. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Schedule . It is my opinion that this is a good initiative since this focuses on the campuses ( universities and colleges) where majority of the Linux users are and also where a lot of FOSS development take place. This is good opportunity to build a strong community of students and potential contributors. So I wanted to open this topic for discussion. I want India or maybe APAC to take the lead in this project. We have a lot of Fedora Ambassadors and users in India and I believe that this will be step forward. What do you think about this initiative. This topic will be discussed in the next meeting of famsco. Please let your opinions and ideas flow in.

This is regarding the install fest and FAD at KGEC. The organizers have arranged everything that we wanted. They have changed the venue to their LAB where we will get 2 MBps internet connectivity.

Participation well over 100 is expected. The FAD starts at 11:00 a.m and continues till the evening with a break in between. The agenda is upon us to decide. Its an install fest cum FAD.
