For those of you keeping score at home

As you may have noticed, Joerg (kital) has retired from performing the FAMA duties, and I have taken over. I would personally like to thank him for his excellent work.

Since I’m now in charged of FAMA, I’m modifying the process to fit my availability. Essentially, this means two things:

1. All ambassador applications will be processed on a weekly basis (this usually means a Sunday morning). If I am going to be unavailable on Sunday, I’ll try to get it done as soon as possible before/after that time.
2. Welcome notices will only go out once a month, in an update email / post. This post is the first of the monthly posts.

If you have any questions, you can email me or find me in #fedora-ambassadors on irc.freenode.net (herlo is my fas and irc nick).

Cheers,

Herlo

The Fedora project will be putting on a Beefy Miracle lunch across the street from SELF on Saturday (I think it’s at noon) so come by and get a Beefy Miracle in honor of Fedora 17.

Also, stop by the Fedora booth sometime during the weekend with your canned goods we’ll be collecting this weekend for the Loaves and Fishes food pantry in Charlotte, NC. Their priority list includes canned meats, canned pasta (such as spaghetti’os, ravioli, etc.), cereal, canned fruit, and 100% fruit juice. Nothing in glass, please!

Plus, you’ll get a little surprise in return. I won’t give it away, but as you might have guessed it’s something that is definitely beefy. Hope to see you there!

There are quite a few other goodies on the schedule, so please feel free to peruse. It should be a great weekend!

Cheers,

herlo

The first will be on my latest project, GoOSe Linux – Rebuilding Enterprise Linux the ‘Community’ Way at 11:15am on Thursday, May 3.. If you ever wondered why CentOS took so long to rebuild Enterprise Linux, wondered what other options are out there, or even were just curious how Linux is built, come by and listen. It will be entertaining and enlightening.

The second talk will be Koji – A Reliable, Repeatable Build Environment, 4pm on Thursday, May 3. If you aren’t aware of what Koji does, it builds and manages RPMs. While we use it for the GoOSe project, many folks need a simple and clean way to build packages in a repeatable and reliable way.  Koji can also build LiveCD/LiveDVD images, manages repositories, tags builds and much, much more.

The last presentation I will be giving is ‘The State of Open Source‘, it’s a keynote presentation at 1:30pm on Friday, May 4. Expect this talk to be light and fun! I hope everyone comes out and enjoys this talk as well.

Additionally, it looks like Victor and the gang have created badges for you to put on your blog, Facebook, Google+, etc. so get them out there and come hang out at UTOSC 2012!

Cheers,

Herlo
