This is the first time I heard about DeveloperWiki.
I do not think it is the best way to spread Fedora in Sri Lanka.
But, as Paul said you can join to the Fedora wiki.
Get other friends in to Fedora wiki as well. ;-)
And also we have a Fedora Sinhala l10n wiki as well. [1]
There are many ways, such as Fedora l10n, Fedora media distribution
[2]
, writing articles [3] , workshops, etc.
At the moment we have tried/trying all above possibilities.
we have published an article in Silumina news paper (23rg page) on
last
year, 09th Dec 2007. :) [3]
I appreciate your active life with Fedora.
Btw, yesterday I was talking about FOSS in Kelaniya PS, Sri Lanka.
I asked a question, "Do you know about GNU/Linux OS?
every one said, NO
then, once I started talking about distros'
I said, Fedora, OpenSuse,, ..and Ubuntu.
Then one guy said "Yes, I have a CD" :D
The reason is Ubuntu free distribution, they do not know about
GNU/Linux,etc but the brand "Ubuntu"
Randika: this is the situation :)
