Details about an user from FAS

FAMA (Fedora Ambassadors Membership Administration) doesn't only take care about about metrics for the Ambassadors group but also for the membership process. In the past there was a need for simple tools to interact with the Fedora Account System to get details about unapproved members. The latest of those scripts is called fas-person.py. The functionality is similar to the supybot Fedora plugin (.fasinfo) expect that you can run it direct from the command line. It's useful for quick checks of FAS accounts if you know the FAS username.

Für einen identi.ca-Eintrag hat mir ein namhafter Dienst folgenden URL generiert: http://alturl.com/spaem Umgangssprachlich könnte der letzte Teil auch etwas anderes bedeuten ;-)

FreeNX und Fedora 13

Meinen Artikel zu Freenx im Fedorawiki, der die Installation und die Konfiguration beschreibt, war ziemlich veraltet. Nach der Aktualisierung sollte es möglich sein FreeNX unter Fedora 13 in Betrieb zu nehmen. Kommentar, Ergänzungen, Korrekturen und anderes ist ausdrücklich erwünscht.

Fedora Events in Europe

There are some upcoming events in Europe (in or around Switzerland to be more precise) till the end of the year. FrOSCamp FrOSCamp is a multilingual two-day event taking place sometime on September 17-18 on the premises of the ETH Zurich in Switzerland that is completely free of charge. It's intended to be an exhibition, conference and hackfest featuring free and open source software as well as free content. While various people and projects will show, explain, demonstrate and develop further their works the event is free of any commercial offerings (save snacks and drinks). The event is open to any visitor but it's also strongly encouraged that projects take the chance and exchange ideas and experiences with other projects or hold the project's yearly meeting during the gathering. Wiki page : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FrOSCamp_2010_Zurich Official web page : http://wiki.froscamp.org/Welcome LinuxDay Dornbirn

LinuxDay is a small event in Austria near the Swiss, German, and Lichtenstein border with around 300 visitors. There are talks, a little fair ground, lightning talks, and often spontaneous short workshops.

Wiki page : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LinuxDay_Dornbirn_2010 Official web page : http://linuxday.at/ Those two events are looking for an event owner (aka a person who takes care of the Fedora presence/booth there). The event at Dornbirn is perfect for local ambassadors. Take your chance and become an event owner ;-)
