I’ve been using Fedora for quite awhile now, and have been part of the Fedora Ambassadors project for about the same period. I’ve been trying to improve the UK visability as part of this but with a wife and a 1.5 year old it’s proving a bit mental
However as a first step, with the grateful help of nullsys (Carl Walker) a fellow UK ambassador, we have our IRC channel up and running.
If you’re in the UK (or anywhere really) and want to come along and talk about Fedora, ask questions or just come along for a general chit chat then please do.
#fedora-uk on irc.freenode.net I’m MooDoo (as if you didn’t know
)
The next step is to create a community website. I’ve purchased the domain (just need to sign a few things) and need to plan what is actually needed from a community site.
Here’s a question for you.
What would you like to see on a fedora related community website?? All suggestions gratefully welcomed. Once i have a list, i’ll palm the webdev onto nullsys (shhhhh don’t tell him)
I’m glad to see that Fedora in the UK is now starting to get the love it so desperately needs (imho)…..yippeeeee

Hi, another British Fedoran here…
What information do you envisage being on the fedora-uk site that isn’t available on the main fedora sites?
I can imagine perhaps that there are events that are attended by UK-based ambassadors that I don’t know about, but I can’t think what else I might be missing out on.

Hi Paul, it’s Rob again.
I remember reading an entry on Planet Fedora about 1 month ago, and I’ve hunted it down. This guy has moved to Exeter, and his site is fed into Planet Fedora..

He’d be a good addition to Planet Fedora UK ?
Congratulations and taking the time and making the effort to bring the site online. – I’m sure the irc channel will prove to be just as useful.
