[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Belgian Fedora Activities

[Frederic Hornain]

Dear *,

I know I am not often on the list neither on the IRC but :
- talk about Fedora and Linux to people
- go to Linux events.
- convince managers, and IT staff
- explain my experiences with Open Source.
- explain what is Fedora and how to use it to students.
- do not loose good friendly relations to people who are part of the project
- and so on...
takes time.
And I am pretty sure you know what I mean.

However and you are right. You have to know what have been done.
For instance today,
I went to the HP Linux and Open Source roadshow EMEA in Brussel.
I met people who are members of the Fedora project community  -development
part - who did not know a Fedora Community
was present physically in Belgium. So I just invited them to join to the
Community in our country.
Cause electronique communication tools have their limitations. You know what
I mean.
It is more funny to chat, to share you experiences when you are phystically
together than via network.
I am pretty sure you agree with me. Even if it is working well via network.
I met the Red Hat Regional Manager which help me to know belgian people are
working on the Fedora Project.
And then she have a point of contact with the Fedora Community of her
country.
We share experiences and so on...
I met the manager of a Univesity and tell her that the Fedora Community
could help her to organize Linux events for students.
So on and so for.....
It is just a win-win situation for Fedora,  the Open Source community, Red
Hat and myself.

I beleive that I will stop for today cause I will risk to write a Linux
novel "not novell :)".
Rem : I have to recontact other Belgian Ambassadors.

See you soon friends.
If you have any remarks, questions, suggestions feel free to contact me.

P.S. I am not writing that in order to have an award - see previous mail of
Alex -.
I am just writing that in order to be transparent opposite you - do not know
if is correct :) but I hope you understand the meaning- and to share my
Fedora Ambassador experience.

Best Regards
Fred
Belgian Fedora Ambassador
