A special thank you goes out to all of you who posted Event Reports before the DeadLine<ref>http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2010-06-07/fedora-meeting-1.2010-06-07-18.05.html</ref>!


" I'm sending this note on behalf of Jared Smith, who is in Chile right now for FUDCon Santiago 2010.
Now it is Dinner-Time ;) pick 5 of your regional Fellows and/or Friends and have a great Evening -


The Board is holding a public IRC meeting on '''Friday, July 16, 2010 at 1800 UTC on IRC Freenode'''.  The Board is trying an open meeting on IRC, and if they agree it helps conversation work more effectively, it may retain this format.  Although there won't be a formal protocol for this initial meeting, all attendees are asked to be courteous to their fellow contributors during the conversation.
we will pay for your Food and Drinks as a Thank You.


For this meeting, the public is invited to simply join '''#fedora-board-meeting''' to talk to the Board.
Bert Desmet <ref>http://fedoraproject.org /wiki/Release_Party_F13_Ghent#Reports</ref>


The meeting will last approximately 60 minutes. In response to community inquiries, the meeting will start with a Q&A session.  After approximately 40 minutes, depending on how the session is going, Board members may reserve some time for agenda items and questions for the new FPL.  Jared will be there provided that Internet connectivity
Pierros Papadeas <ref>http://pierros.papadeas.gr/?p=133</ref>
allows.  In the event he isn't available, I'll facilitate.


We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!"

====UTOSC 2010 Call for papers extended through August 1st!==== 
 
[[User:Herlo|Clint Savage]]<ref>Clint Savage</ref> announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/announce/2010-July/002839.html</ref> on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 on 20:52:18 UTC,
 
"Time goes by quickly, so quickly in fact that top priorities get setto the side and suddenly become missed opportunities. Fortunately submitting a proposal for a presentation at the 2010 Utah Open Source Conference doesn’t have to be one of them!
 
The deadline for paper submission has been extended until August 1st, 2010, just in time to sit down inside a nice cool coffee shop, sip some of the great local roast and think about what to share with the community.
 
Really it only takes a minute or two to place a submission and you might find it so easy and fun that you submit more then one.
 
Don’t worry about not having a full presentation prepared, all that needs to be submitted by the deadline is the proposal, a basic outline of what would be presented to the community at the conference. The next step is easy: sit back, relax and wait to hear if your proposal was selected by vote for the conference. Once selected the entire
presentation(s) should be laid out and created.
 
Don’t have anything to talk about? That’s not what I’ve heard!


Topics can be as wide ranging as are the members of the Utah Open Source community at large (and that is pretty gosh darn diverse!) and should include a variety of experience levels. While one presenter may submit a presentation on Building a Better Community Through Statistics another (and an excellent presentation I attended in 2009,) might be Advanced GIMP: The Digital Diet.
Nilesh Vaghela <ref>http://www.vglug.info/forums/vglug-discussion/fwd-fedora-13-release-party-photos</ref>


So don’t be afraid to submit a proposal to talk about your favorite open source program(s) that just does silly things or maybe does
Rangeen Basu Roy <ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F13_Bangalore#Reports</ref>
nothing at all!


Has anyone ever submitted a presentation on an open source pet rock? No? Hhmm…
David Ramsey <ref>http://diamondramsey.wordpress.com/2010/07/20/release-party-f13-tokyo-report/</ref>


All ideas are welcome, but please remember to keep with the 2010 theme: its better when its free*.
José López <ref>http://www.taygon.com/?p=397</ref>


Being free is so easy that my open source pet rock was free!
Edna Rheiner <ref>http://www.fedora.org.gt/linux-party-una-verdadera-fiesta-de-distros/</ref>


Interested? Want more details? Visit the Utah Open Source Conference website at <ref>http://2010.utosc.com</ref> and when your ready to submit your proposal simply create an account and visit <ref>http://2010.utosc.com/speaker/papers/</ref> to submit your paper.
Neville A. Cross <ref>http://www.taygon.com/?p=409


You could put it off again, but then you will have to pay to attend and where’s the fun in that?"
We want to make sure that you have no trouble in getting the money and that you get it fast - so please have a proper receipt, that you can send to me '''FAS:jsimon'''"

"It's hard to believe, but the window for full blown feature development closes soon.  A friendly reminder that next Tuesday, July 27, 2010 is Feature Freeze for Fedora 14.
 
Feature Freeze means that all accepted feature for the release are *significantly* "feature complete", ready for testing, and have a current status.
 
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Feature_Freeze_Policy</ref>
<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy/Milestones#Feature_Freeze</ref>
 
If you have any questions about what this means, please ask now.
 
Features which are not significantly feature complete at Feature Freeze will be be allowed to remain on an exception basis by FESCo or deferred to Fedora 15."

"I'm not a Fedora Ambassador or anything, but the folks at my local SFD committee know I use Fedora and were wondering about a Fedora stall at the SFD meeting -

Is there a South African Ambassador?  Or does anyone have advice for organising something like this.
Unfortunately, just about everyone at our local LUGS is an UBUNTU fan
