Chemnitzer Linuxtage 2010
Since years we are present at Chemnitzer Linuxtage - CLT and always had a great and successfull time - Max wrote a great report about the 2009 event!
You can see Max's talk "Innovations in the Fedora Project"
On FAD EMEA 2009 a decision was made, to make CLT one of the big events for EMEA in 2010.
Today, the CfP is out and i will take care for our "Call for Presentations" which means to have a booth, dev-room etc. ...
If you are interested to give a talk, you are invited to follow the "Call for Lectures"
We will try to get a separate Dev/Project Room - then we can give our own Talking Track independent from the official "Call for Lectures". Update on that soon!
More Details on Fedora CLT 2010 Event - expect more updates soon.
The German CfP from the CLT Team:
Neues Jahr – neues Outfit
=========================
Mit neuem Outfit stellt sich die Webseite der 12. Chemnitzer Linux-Tage
vor. 2010 wird es also wieder eine Menge interessanter Vorträge, Workshops
und Projekte im Hörsaalgebäude an der Reichenhainer Straße geben. Die
Themenschwerpunkte lauten dieses Mal:
* Dienste und Dämonen
* Neue Desktops
* Embedded
* Privatsphäre trotz Netz
Ab sofort ist es möglich, sich mit einem Vortrag, Stand oder Workshop
anzumelden, um im März 2010 das Programm mitzugestalten. Natürlich werden
wie immer auch Beiträge für das Einsteigerforum gesucht.
* Call for Lectures [0]
* Call for Presentations [1]
Neu in diesem Jahr ist die Möglichkeit, ein eingereichtes Paper im
CLT-Tagungsband veröffentlichen zu lassen.
Immer auf dem Laufenden
=======================
Damit Fans und Interessierte nicht nur am Veranstaltungswochenende die
Chemnitzer Linux-Tage live erleben, kann sich ab sofort jeder über den
aktuellen Stand der Vorbereitungen, Nachbereitungen und sonstigen
Aktivitäten per Identi.ca[2], Twitter[3] oder Facebook[4] informieren.
Vorfreude
=========
Schon jetzt kann sich jeder mit den Aufzeichnungen der CLT 2009 ein
bisschen Vortragsfeeling nach Hause holen. Die Videos aus den
Vortragsräumen V1 und V4 stehen ab sofort zum Download und zum direkten
Anschauen bereit.

Review about Free Software Conference 2009 in Budapest, Hungary
On behalf of Robert Scheck:
Good evening,
now that I'm safely back at home, I'll write a bit about the Free Software
Conference 2009 (Hungarian: Szabad Szoftver Konferencia 2009) in Budapest,
Hungary. The event itself was organized by the FSF Hungary and took place
in the building for scientific and economy of the university in Budapest.
Unfortunately, one week before the event, some health issues appeared at
Christoph Wickert, who initially wanted to attend the event. In the end,
Joerg Simon asked me to attend and that's how I made it in.
On Friday evening, I flew from Stuttgart via Frankfurt am Main to Budapest
- it was my first trip to Hungary at all and I noticed, that they are still
lacking English knowledge at signs/labels and people. Usually you can guess
the meaning of words in a foreign language - but not at Hungarian, they're
completely different. Nevertheless I managed it with a 30 minutes taxi trip
to get to my hotel (the airport is ~ 15 km away from the city center).
At early Saturday morning, I met Zoltán Hoppár in the hotel lobby. He's our
first and currently only Hungarian Fedora Ambassador the first time as far
as I know. Together we moved on to the university and prepared our booth.
At 9:00 am the event officially started, at 10:00 am our workshop "Building
RPMs made easy" started (thanks again to Christoph for providing me his
German presentation about the same topic as template for my English one),
but nobody was there! Fortunately after a few more minutes people showed up
and told us that the previous presentation was a bit too long. Zoltán was
so friendly to translate my whole workshop on-the-fly into Hungarian - that
was a lot of work, because 50 minutes are less time for something huge like
RPM packaging and I had to hurry up a bit to get all slides and a packaging
example done.
The rest of the day we mainly promoted Fedora, handed out media and swag,
answered questions around the OLPC XO and tried to encourage new Hungarian
Fedora Contributors and Ambassadors - I think we hopefully got a handful
people in total, some of them directly signed up in FAS at our booth. I've
to say "thank you" to Zoltán here as well, because most of the visitors did
not speak and understand English - so Zoltán was really a lot of the time
only translating both ways. Nevertheless, it was definately a great event!
And it was a real community event, even that some commercial sponsors have
been around. According to the FSF Hungary, it was a worse event measured by
the visitors, they've counted ~ 350 visitors for the whole day. Did I say,
that I like and appreciate how Zoltán is acting, even he's a relatively new
contributor and the past event was one of his first (or the first?) Fedora
event? :)
Of course we've made pictures, but I'm still looking for a good place to
host them, I personally dislike Flickr and similar portals. Maybe we can
setup a pictures.fedoraproject.org with a gallery and everybody in FAS can
upload pictures there? Of course we would need the events as a group or
category. Ideas? Suggestions?
In the evening, Zoltán and I went for lunch to the Soul Café & Restaurant
and I ordered some typical Hungarian food to get impressions there as well.
Of course we've twaddled about possible future events and some ideas - how
else could it be? :) Joerg and Christoph: Next time, Zoltán would like to
see us all three at an event - maybe we get it managed for FOSDEM?
On Sunday, I flew back from Budapest via Munich to Stuttgart (the last part
of the trip with a tiny prop airliner) - and unfortunately Lufthansa didn't
manage it to bring my baggage to Stuttgart. I started baggage tracking, but
right now and even hours after, they've absolutely no clue as the digital
tracking for my baggage is somehow just empty. If they are incompetent, we
have lost (beside of my clothes, shoes, washbag etc.) some Fedora plastic
banners, my Fedora Ambassador polos and the presents from Zoltán - and that
would be a real loss. Let's hope and cross fingers...
Finally, I've to say "thank you" to Zoltán, Joerg and Christoph for their
work, efforts and support around the event! Not to forget a "thank you" to
Fedora EMEA e.V. for the financial support to get me there.
Greetings, Robert

One of my personal goals for 2009 was to have Fedora on an foss event in Hungary.
After some mistakes through the language barrier in the beginning - finally we made it!
Thanks to Zoltan and Robert!
I am happy, we will have the first Fedora event participation ever in Hungary - on http://konf.fsf.hu/ 31.Oct 2009, with a booth and Robert will give a packaging workshop http://konf.fsf.hu/cgi-bin/ossc/speakers#spea22.
I look forward to Reports, Pictures and a lot new smart hungarian contributors ;)

Numbers
I played a bit with our Scripts we use in Ambassadors to automate things from Fedora Account System. I know that pure numbers do not tell something about the quantity or quality that a contributor delivers, but it was fun to pull that information out.
Did you know that 15758 People signed the CLA – and 11040 of them have still active Accounts?
Top Ten active Accounts by Country for some Groups –
Packagers:
859 active groupmembers listed here against 934 total

Tatica's Project 365
11:48 kital: hi guys just a question - maybe i missed it - who was it, who banned tatica with her portrait project from the planet
11:48 kital: ?
11:51 MooDoo: didn't realise she had, if so it sucked
11:51 kital: i have read it in nicu's post yesterday
11:52 MooDoo: kital: yeah i think thats where i read it, i think she should put them back on
11:52 kital: i know from a lot who visited the planet just for that ;)
11:54 MooDoo: kital: yes indeed :) but it was still an insight into the lives of a fedora user and i thought that's what the planet was for
11:54 kital: i see it the same way
11:57 kital: MooDoo: it is also pretty stupid to scare contributors away - especialy from a group with less productiv headcount like the design team
11:58 MooDoo: kital: well hopefully she's not scared off and still comes in here
12:01 kital: lets see
12:01 MooDoo: yes i might mention it if she comes in later
12:02 MooDoo: kital: if only to say, put it back on :)
