Good Morning Ambassadors,
We are glad to share with you all the experiences we had during the French Install Parties that hapened this month.
- Lille (2006 oct 21st):
- We were 4 Ambassadors in Lille.
- Lots of people liked the 3d effect, this is a major point to promote in Fedora.
- During the day, we had a lot of discussion with the Fedora Users and we had positive feedbacks about Fedora product and communauty.
- One installation, but lot of questions arround Fedora.
- On the MrTom's Blog, some pictures are available

The keys elements for the presentation and Fedora promotion are :
- 3D Desktop Effects (All Fedora users and all people like it).
- Fedora Project and Fedora Community, lot of people need a clear picture about Fedora and RedHat, the Ambassadors clarify this point.
- The new printer installation software (More user friendly and easier for the configuration).
- Ambassadors present during the day and motivate the user to test and use Fedora.
Next step for the Fedora French Team :
- Prepare the major Open Source Show in Paris.
- 30 January to 01 February LINUX SOLUTION - CNIT - PARIS - La Defense (http://www.solutionslinux.fr/fr/index.php - the English page is not available at the moment).
- In the same place we have the major Open Source actors.
- We are preparing this event in collaboration with Parinux (Active Linux User Group).
- I'm pretty sure the Fedora US and Worldwide Team support us on this project.
