Summary of traffic on FAmSCo mailing list

This week we take a break from reporting on FAmSCo meetings and instead, post a summary of the traffic on the mailing list.

Joerg Simon posted [42] about FAmSCo meeting for 23-08-2010 being adjourned due to too few FAmSCo members being able to attend

Joerg Simon let the FAmSCo members know [43] that he was a bit unhappy with the current process of dealing with reimbursements. He specifically pointed out the issue with Pierros's Africa Trip

María Leandro agreed [44] with Joerg and wondered if this is indeed a good thing to happen.

Max Spevack admitted [45] that there was room for improvement and promised to work on this and the other reimbursements

Susmit Shannigrahi mentioned [46] that his relocation had caused him to miss previous meetings but now that he is settled in he would be attending the meetings at 0600 UTC

With reference to Andrew Overholt's mail last week [47], Max thanked Andrew for his continued commitment to Fedora [48] hoped to see him during FUDCon in January 2011

Joerg Simon followed up [49] with Mustafa Qasim related to copyrighted materials in blog post and best practices of an Ambassador.

Mustafa replied [50] mentioned about his confusion and requesting guidance about procedures.

Paul W Frields suggested [51] that the Planet be fed with a category/feed specific to Fedora thus allowing Mustafa to use his blog in the manner he is comfortable while at the same time not contravening, however, inadvertently, any guidelines of posting.

Joerg Simon posted [52] a reminder about the FAmSCo meeting on 30-08-2010

Joerg Simon proposed [53] that the Ambassador Mentors organize a meeting the first Monday every two months starting 06-09-2010 at 1900. An agenda [54] has also been posted. This is a direct outcome of the Mentoring Survey.
