Hi!
From Saturday 24 to Sunday 25 of May, the French Fedora community was represented by the Borsalinux-fr association ( https://www.borsalinux-fr.org/ ) at the 26th edition of "les Journées du Logiciel Libre" (Free Software Days in French) in Lyon, France. More informations at https://jdll.org/ (only in french).
In a few numbers:
- just over 1,200 visitors;
- 86 conferences;
- 16 workshops;
- 46 stands.
Behind the Fedora / Borsalinux-fr booth:
* Nicolas BERREHOUC aka Nicosss.
On Saturday and Sunday I talked with many people.
A variety of questions and comments, but always on the same themes as in previous years:
- discovering GNU/Linux distributions and the possibility of using a Live to try them out;
- differences with other distributions;
- discovering the **Fedora Project**;
- discovering **Fedora-Fr** and its French-speaking community;
- discovering the **Borsalinux-fr** association behind **Fedora-fr**;
- Atomic version support on the Fedora-fr Forum;
- how to participate in the Fedora project -> https://whatcanidoforfedora.org/fr/ ;
- the possibility or not of leaving Windows with your current PC, whether it's aging or doesn't meet Windows 11 criteria;
- finding a distribution for parents with no computer skills;
- numerous feedbacks from system administrators who install **Fedora Linux** to benefit from the latest tools;
- confirmation of feedback from previous years that games can be played on **Fedora Linux** without any problems, and that it is therefore not necessary to reboot under Windows;
- positive feedback from users who have been using Fedora Atomic for several years and don't want to go back to anything else;
- thanks for the work done to achieve stable, high-quality distribution;
- thanks for the existence of **Fedora-Fr** with its forum and documentation for the French-speaking community;
- why we still didn't have any goodies with the new logo.
