[Fedora-ambassadors-list] FOSDEM -Brussel-

Tue Nov 29 16:07:15 UTC 2005

Dear Alex,

Following our previous mail - see below (ref : #2) -, I have contacted the FOSDEM Team - see below (ref : #1) - in order to get more information about this event.

So now, I am going to represent definitvely Fedora at the FOSDEM in Brussel.
I am not going to be the only one. 

	>Just to give you an idea of the event, here are the other folks having stands at FOSDEM 2006 (at
	>least, up to now): O'Reilly, FSF, Gnomemeeting, Debian, OpenGroupware, GNUstep, Mozilla Foundation,
	>openWengo, Jabber and openSUSE
	>(as you can see, you'll be in nice company)

As soon as possible I am going to update the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents web page 

So as you have already organized such events, maybe you could give me one or two advices. 
For instance, do I have to only install Fedora on PC ? Or maybe specific implementations like Xen...

In addition, I will have need to get some advertising boards, banners, Fedora CDs/Live CDs, some swags, Buisiness cards and so on...

BTW I think I will be one day at the "solution Linux" in Paris, but it is not sure yet. 

BR
Fred
