[fedora-india] [Ambassadors]

[Shubhendra Singh Chauhan]

Hey Everyone,

I have two issues.

First, I am planning to host a Fedora installfest at my university on 13 January, so what all resources/swags I can request from Fedora?

and Second, I have already applied to become Ambassador as I want to be Fedora Campus Ambassador so how to become the member of CLA+1 groups as I am unable to edit my wiki page.

Thanks and Regards,

Shubhendra Singh Chauhan

hello Shubhendra

its great  to hear that you're planning to do Fedora install fest, you can request Stickers of fedora by contacting Fedora Ambassador Near you  :)

second there's no Application kinda procedure to become Ambassador  visit Ambassadors/Join  & follow instructions

you need to contribute towards any Fedora subprojects in order to get CLA+1 group access

Hey Shubhendra,

It's great to see Fedora Install Fest happening across India and thanks for being a
part of the group to organize one such event. I would like to point out that as events
are mostly a part of CommOps you can ping Sachin Kamath or Justin Flory who can help you
with a +1 for their group and you can create/edit an wiki page. I will personally write
an email to both of these guys cc'ing you so that you get the access to the earliest.
For the Resources, I am working on a wiki page which can be used a template by any organizer
to host Install Fest and the point they need to take into account while they do that.
About swags, we are in process to having them in sometime. You can sign in with your FAS
create an issue in https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issues/ put in the subject line
[Swags]Install Fest <Location> <YYYY-MM-DD>.
The template is fairly simple:https://pagure.io/ambassadors-apac/issues/

FAS Name:
Event Name:
Event Wiki:
Swags:
Additional Info:

Now, I totally understand you dont have access to create wiki but you can just draft it on
an etherpad [https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/]. It will be nice to keep the name same as
the event name so the link will turn out to be https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/<event_name>
we have Fedora APAC Ambassdor meeting which is a
bi-weekly meeting. This is where we vote on the open tickets and bring them to closure.
You can also attend the upcoming one, its always open for everyone.

For Fedora Ambassdor, you it's best to seek guidance from Sankarshan. He might help you to understand
the roles and goals of the program better.

Thanks

Thank you for putting together the etherpad (and a ticket as you mention later). I have a few queries - do you have prior experience in putting together an installation fest? I ask this because the logistics for a 100 people install fest are, to my recollection, reasonably substantial. Not just limited to making available the bits to install (over-the-internet; NFS shares etc) but also, if most of the audience is attempting to dual boot their systems across a range of hardware devices, it is going to throw up interesting sets of issues. Also, if the intended outcome is to make Fedora the primary OS/desktop for your audience, what are the possible "alternatives to frequently used applications/services" should one keep in mind?

Following up on this - Shubhendra - did you get time to think through these topics?

Hi,

Apologies for late reply. I have never organized an Install-fest but I have experience in organizing various events/workshops. I agree with you that there can be issues during installfest so considering that I had already taken the demo session of my club members on how to dual boot fedora and they have successfully installed on their systems. I hope we will not be facing any issue during install-fest & we will also make it clear before the installfest to backup data and any data loss during install-fest will not be our responsibility.

‌Thanks & Regards,

Shubhendra Singh Chauhan

Alright. This is a fair answer. I am not always a "hope is not a strategy" kind of person, but let's roll with this. The question then is - what are the remaining things blocking you from organizing this installation fest?
