[fedora-india] Fedora meetup in Pune?
Hi, I would like to host a Fedora meetup at reserved-bit, the new hackerspace in Amanora Chambers, Pune. How is 28th Jan for everyone interested? I don't know what we could talk about yet; I was hoping to get Fedora booting on the Dragonboard 410c this weekend (or at least attempt to) but that did not happen. I hope to have some time during the week for it or at the very least I can talk about the status of 96boards and Fedora.

I personally don't have contacts in Cummins College, but I know a couple of professors from MITCOE.

I partially agree. The only thing I differ on is the 'taking aside' bit because of the sheer nature of FOSS communities. By nature, mistakes in FOSS communities are public, so is the criticism and so is any praise that comes in as a result of your work. In such a setting, the important attribute is integrity that coachees can demonstrate by stepping up and responding to criticism instead of sitting back and waiting for the fire to burn out. This is more so the case for someone aspiring to be involved in the Ambassador program. Priyanka stepped up and the result was that we are making progress in that thread.

Also as an added note, if it's not already the case, please let Fedora foot the bill for this. In APAC we're much too frugal with the Fedora budget due to which we end up grossly under-spending every year and hence getting our budgets reduced every year. It is not that we're spending less, it is just that Red Hat local offices are footing the bill for things it shouldn't be. it would be better if the local offices pitched in only when the Fedora budget is unavailable.

While getting local ambassadors in loop is useful from a logistics and/or budget perspective, what's more important here is to reach out to as many *existing* women contributors as possible (and as early as possible) so that you exhaust all of your options of getting qualified speakers (local or remote) before you resort to doing it yourself within Red Hat by reading up the wiki pages. > [2] The new speakers can try and do some actual contributions before the FWD > event so that they can also share their experience (and blockers) at the > event.

It surely took me more than 2 weeks to get myself into the various groups I am currently in, so actually doing something useful will have to come after that. In any case, that doesn't solve the issue I pointed out. That said, please don't misunderstand my objection as an objection to anybody participating in the community. My point is that people should be encouraged to participate for the right reasons. That is, join the community to pitch in, learn and grow and not just gain credentials as a speaker, that too on the basis of being employed at the company that is hosting the event. > [3] The organizers are suggested to try reach out to college students (not > just via emails or messages, but by physically going down to colleges) since > this event can be a good place for new contributors to know how to get > started with their contribution as well as meet other existing and > experienced community members. +1. I believe Red Hat has contacts in Cummins College for example. They have been active in the django and/or python community in the past IIRC, so I am sure they will look forward to the event. There are a number of women teachers in MITCOE who I am sure will be interested too. I'm sure there are other colleges we can reach out to. > [4] The organizers are also suggested to do more social media posts about > the event, so as to create more awareness around this event.

I personally don't doubt the intent of any organizers and I know such oversight is not uncommon especially due to the fragmented nature of communities. I also acknowledge the chicken and egg problem. I only disagree with the solution, which was to take the easy way out and go with almost an all-Red Hat lineup without making an attempt to make a call for participation in a wider and more relevant audience like fedora-india, GLUG, PLUG, etc. You could even invite speakers to talk over a video chat, there are a number of ideas that you could come up with along these lines before thinking of the compromise. Also, it is not that we never talk about pathways to contribution, in fact my personal beef is that "Contributing to Fedora" is almost all we talk about all the time and I'd really like us to move forward from that :) > Other than this, whether this can be called a Fedora event or not...well, I > don't think I am eligible to comment on that.

Firstly I want to clarify that I am not talking about the Kolkata event because there is a formal CfP out on this list and there is not a lot to complain about there. It would be nice however if you could link the speaker names to their user pages to know who they are. So moving on, I have missed the discussions because I am not on those mailing lists. Likewise, I am sure a lot of women contributors to Fedora who may be qualified and interested in attending and speaking at the conference may have missed the conversation completely and may find themselves excluded. When doing a local chapter of a global event, it is not sufficient to just reach out to the global lists, one must reach out locally. > I did file a apac trac ticket long ago > The problem is budget is to be specified beforehand (in previous year). > We conceived this event in March-April. > So the Kolkata event is mainly getting sponsored by Ubuntu Women. Again, while my question in this context was specifically for the Pune event it also wanted to pick at the inability of the local ambassadors to be able to push for a budget when we hardly utilize anything that is allocated to us anyway. I don't exclude myself from that charge just because I was unavailable to contribute to it. However looking at the ticket, the items you need like stickers and dvds could have been obtained by asking on this list or making a specific request for it on trac. Those items don't need to be part of the event budget. Travel subsidy for this event seems excessive given that I haven't seen it happen outside of premiere events. I think PJP (pjp AT fedoraproject.org ) can help with DVDs and stickers if you haven't reached out to him already.

I'm afraid I've been out of loop for a while, but why is it that ambassadors can't come up with budget for this event?

Or if we are, please make a more serious attempt to involve the community in it. That is, please try and do the following: 1. Send a 'first class' communication about the event on the mailing list, not a forwarded snippet of some arbitrary conversation that happened internally in Red Hat.

Not a lot actually do in my experience, but you're part of a larger community so please at least do due diligence. Also, we don't have kerberos ids in Fedora, so I assume you're talking about RH internal kerberos ids in the piratepad link[1] on the wiki page. I don't know why that is important in Fedora 3. Speaking about a topic is not just about content (that anybody can read a wiki page and deliver) but about presenting an example of a community member. Apart from some, I could not identify a lot of the people from the speaker list in the piratepad page as contributors to Fedora. I also did not see a call for speakers for the event, which is something you'd want to do if you don't have qualified speakers for the event. I guess you could bias the selection process in favour of women since it is a women's day event, but I don't know how women's day celebrations work so I don't know how that works.

The "convince Flock organizers to include APAC" is the sticky bit IMO - why does it have to be that way? Like I said, if Flock organizers don't see value in a session because it's not from NA/EMEA then it is discriminatory and it should be called out. If they don't see value in the session because they deem it uninteresting for a general audience but if APAC thinks it is important that it be present, then we could fund it.

On the "smart stickers" front, nothing more than actual stickers - creating brand awareness. People going back from a conference with something to hold on to and perhaps even do something with, ranging from throwing it in the corner of their stack of swag to sticking it up in their cubicles (I do that BTW) to putting it in their DVD drives and giving it a spin. > I'm not too sure that even 'more people will install and use Fedora' > is being met with the production and distribution of DVDs. The absence > of any conversation from recipient of the DVDs is obviously not the > only evidence of absence. I don't disagree, which is why I specifically disassociated the distribution from the direct goal of "even more people will install and use Fedora". Recipients of these DVDs at conferences are usually techies who will probably give it a spin to see how it measures against the latest Ubuntu, Debian, etc. and then maybe use it as an alternative for a while. The Freemedia program however is very different in that the recipients don't fit into this demographic. TBH, I don't know what the average recipient of DVDs from the Freemedia program looks like and if someone could define that, then maybe we could get closer to knowing what's going on there. > The reason I start the discussion implying that we should stop > producing and distributing DVDs is not because I want to strongly > advocate that path.

My contention is that we have enough If you're referring to DVD giveaways as cheap grace then I have a different opinion because I don't see DVDs as any kind of grace, much like I don't see stickers and buttons as any kind of grace. If you want DVDs to be something more than that, then I think we're on to a different question and I don't have a more convincing answer for it other than recipients would find it more useful to get the actual idea (i.e. DVDs, USB sticks, etc.) than stuff about the idea (stickers, buttons, etc.). > models around us to think about how we can experiment to achieve those > outcomes.

I believe the reason for this has very little to do with the Freemedia project or DVD distribution, although I understand why you would want to raise questions about both initiatives - they seem like things targeted at the 'less fortunate'. The real reason seems to be to be the fact that most people who receive this media are more intent on solving their own problem (build something with it, like their college assignment, replace the coaster that their neighbour stole, etc.) than being involved in the project itself in any capacity. A lot of times they may use it for a project and then completely forget about it - this was true 13 years ago when I was studying in college and saw people around me use RHL/Debian for their projects and then forget what ls did the very next day, so I don't see why that truth won't prevail today. The idea of software freedom is actually a much harder sell in these regions than it is in NA/EMEA since the idea of Freedom itself is not as well appreciated.

In principle I remain not-a-fan of reserving APAC budget for Flock attendance. If the only reason a speaker is declined is because (s)he is not from NA/EMEA then I consider that discriminatory (you can't call Flock a global event and an NA/EMEA event in the same breath) and if there are technical reasons for it then I don't consider it worthwhile for the APAC budget to be dipped into unless there is something that is specifically interesting for our region, such as i18n/l10n or problems/solutions specific to our region.

Who's going to sit and insert 2000 DVDs into sleeves? It is much much more convenient to just give the order to the vendor and have them give us a fully finished product, i.e. DVDs inserted into their sleeves.

On 24 November 2015 at 09:45, sankarshan wrote: > All these locations receive the DVD and thus roughly 2000 individuals > (not all new/unique) receive F23 media. What happens next? I personally consider DVDs to be smarter stickers, buttons or flyers, i.e. promotional media that has digital content. In that context, the impact of DVDs is similar to impact of stickers: they help improve brand awareness at conferences and meetups. There is the other aspect of enabling individuals who may otherwise not have the bandwidth to download the distirbution and try it themselves. The freemedia program tries to reach out to such people, but like you, I am not very convinced about its utility in attracting long term users or contributors. That said, there seems to be quite a bit of interest in DVDs (from conference attendees and consequently, ambassadors) regardless of our apprehensions and that says something even though we don't quite know what. I don't think DVD production is that big a cost that we need to put so much thought into potentially replacing it with something else. If there's an alternative that needs evaluation (like a device that allows people to plug USB sticks in and copy a bootable distribution copy, that sounds like a nice engineering project), we should bring it up first, try it and then decide if DVD production is putting cost pressure on that alternative.

Oh, I wasn't referring to the material of the banner, I was referring to the type of banner, i.e. the vertical one that can be rolled up vs the kind that could be hung at entrances. The former are likely expensive but are considered more durable. So making a fudcon pune 2015 banner would be more cost-effective than a standee. > Even then, I think we should have both, event-specific and neutral > banners / standees.

[fedora-india] FUDCon banners/standees
Hi, I had a conversation with Sirko on IRC and he pointed out that since a FUDCon banner will be used just once and then discarded, it might be a good idea to make it as a cloth banner and not a standee. A cloth banner can be cut and reused, while a standee may have to just be discarded. We can make a few generic Fedora project standee banners instead (we already have a design for those), which we can use in other events. Thoughts?

[fedora-india] The new fudcon.in!
Hi, fudcon.in now has a completely new look and more importantly, is brand new under the hood. We faced a lot of limitations with the old Drupal 6.x instance that fudcon.in was running on. Specifically, we found it difficult (impossible?) to show the speaker bio in talks or any kind of rich information in various pages. Finding support for Drupal COD 6.x was next to impossible - the only response we got was "I don't think a lot of people use COD 6.x anymore". So a couple of weeks ago we finally bit the bullet and made the move to Drupal COD 7.x. The move was not easy because the two schemas are not compatible at all. We could manage to migrate 6.x users to 7.x, but we had to enter all of the content by hand once again and then continuously check to make sure that we weren't losing any data. There are a few breaking changes due to this: 1. Non-accepted talks are no longer published. That is, you can see your submission if you're logged in, but unless the session is accepted, others won't be able to see your abstract. 2. The links for sessions have changed. This is because Drupal COD 7.x introduced the concept of namespaces for conferences, putting all sessions for that conference into a separate namespace. This is great because it is now possible to seamlessly add conferences to the same instance and have them coexist. Please try this website out and let us know if anything is broken. We will be reaching out to speakers soon to let them know of the new website and making sure that their experience with editing the abstract or uploading slides is seamless.

Hi, We finished our talk selection discussion last week and we have now conveyed our decision to speakers whose talks we have accepted and also those whose talks we have declined since we could not accommodate all submissions in the main tracks. There are a number of additional submissions that fall into one of these categories: - They are on a waiting list in case speakers from the accepted talks are not available - They align with the Containers, OpenStack/Cloud or Software defined storage tracks that we decided to host separately at the conference[1] - They are proposed to be merged with another proposal - these are primarily workshops where we felt that there was an overlap and that the workshop could benefit from both submitters working together on one proposal - We felt the submission was suitable for a specialized BoF or a breakout session. We will try to finish this in a couple of days. Following that we will publish the list of selected talks and workshops on the fudcon.in website.

For cases where we really want to know if a speaker's talk was selected or not before deciding on sponsorship, we have deferred decision till the deadline for requesting sponsorship, so the question of clarity does not arise IMO. Also, the deadline for asking for sponsorship is 30th April and the speaker list will (hopefully) be out much before that.

I don't know if it would be worthwhile changing it this late though. I think you could just add FAS names and twitter handles as comma-separated values. That way if we actually end up doing something with those values other than showing them (like for awarding badges to selected speakers), we could parse the commas. > Also if I am proposing multiple sessions and for best results it would be > good if these sessions follow a certain order.

Doing it in a VM is a good idea. I would suggest using a Free alternative like kvm; you have time to learn it :) Also as a backup it might be a good idea to record a video of your demonstration so that if it doesn't work during your talk, you have a fallback. > 2) Is it permissible to use distro other than Fedora i.e. I am having > CentOS installed as Dual boot with windows? > > Like this: > > Host OS: CentOS 6.x/ Windows > > Application S/W: Virtualbox/VMWare Player > > Guest OS: Fedora 21 or latest one.

I am not referring to the meeting pads actually, I'm talking about the main etherpad: http://piratepad.net/FUDConPune2015 It looks like something that will be better served as a wiki page where we know who made what changes and can track it much more easily. The content may get modified during every meeting, but it will rarely get completely revamped. Also, it's not stuff that we will always edit live, which is the point of an etherpad. Anyway, bikeshedding so if you feel strongly about it then we can keep it in the pad and let you remember to save revision every time ;) Siddhesh -- http://siddhesh.in ___ india mailing list india@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/india

All other graphics will be derivatives for the logo, so I'll add tickets for each of those shortly. There's a graphics section on the etherpad which you can modify to add graphics you think we'll need. Also, maybe we should move the main etherpad to a wiki page on the Fedora wiki.

Hi all, Fedora 21 release is on the coming Tuesday (9th December), so hurry up and plan your release parties for soon after! I have put in a request for DVD production[1] budget for India and hope to have them ready by mid-December and I hope to have stickers and other goodies available around the same time. Please schedule the parties according to availability of DVDs so that you can give them away at the event. Also, let me know how many you need so that I can send them to you. If you are looking to arrange a release party but are not an ambassador, then please get in touch with an ambassador to coordinate for you since they're the ones with access to the release party budget. If you're looking for ideas (or the process) to arrange a release party, then this wiki page[2] is a good starting point.

A gentle reminder; this budgeting FAD is on the coming weekend. It would be great to hear from y'all, especially those who have had experience in doing this in the past (Rahul!).

Sharing event details early (and making a call for speakers in it) is usually a good way to find speakers too.

People who want to register now will have to pay a donation of a denomination of their choice. So in that context, I'd say that the announcement was late, due to which one now won't get a chance to race for the free registrations. If you're looking to publicize an event to invite attendees and have such a limited offer in place, it is best to announce in all places at the same time since it otherwise does not give everyone a fair and equal chance to compete for free seats.

[fedora-india] Events in India over the coming year
Hi, I'll be attending the budgeting FAD at Phnom Penh next week. In preparation for that Sirko had created a wiki page with a table of events that we would want to have a Fedora presence[1]. Suggestions for addition of events to that table are welcome. Please also let me know if anybody has any specific ideas for the next year that may require funding from the APAC budget.

Re: [fedora-india] [Reminder] FAD Pune 1 Nov 2014
Thank you all who attended the FAD on Saturday. We had 7 people attending in person and a couple remotely and we managed to bring down the backlog of unowned security bugs by 36. Also in this FAD nobody (hopefully) went hungry, so that is an improvement from our last FAD ;) If you attended the FAD then please make sure you write up a report about it in either your blog or on this mailing list and post a link on the FAD wiki page[1]. Also, please be sure to follow up on the bugs you have owned and try to bring them to a conclusion. PJP, I believe you'll be sending out a report to the security-team mailing list? I'll send one out to the ambassadors list soon.

Rahul, we can arrange for them to be couriered to you. However, please create a page on the Fedora wiki (it's not a FAD, so don't use the FAD template) to describe the event, and relevant links (as Sankarshan mentioned) and give us a link. Also, send me the mailing address where we can send you DVDs and stickers. Please don't forget to blog about your workshop (and share the link with us) after it is done and also encourage attendees to blog about their experience. Finally please collect those blog links and post them on the wiki page for your event as a reference. We have a a fair number of contributors in Pune who monitor this list (Pravin, PJP and /me included), so feel free to drop an email on this list and we'll help in whatever way we can.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. We did have a few Fedora QE contributors participating on Saturday, so maybe one of them could write up a report for this event. Does anybody want to volunteer?

Re: [fedora-india] Fedora Activity Day at Pune on 23rd August
Thank you to all those who came (physically as well as virtually) and made the FAD a success. We filed at least 15 bugs and tested over 8 components during the day, along with two sessions that Prasad and Kashyap conducted on the spot. Please don't forget to blog about your experience and post the link on the wiki page in the Blogs and Reports section.
