DISCLAIMER: This email should have had arrived earlier but I became a Fedora Ambassador only recently so I could post it just now.

Hello everyone,

My name is Anxhelo, I'm a Fedora Ambassador for Albania, and also a member at Open Labs Hackerspace, the first hackerspace in Albania. We have a local Fedora community already established with 5 Fedora Ambassadors and many events during the past years. Every year members from the hackerspace organize OSCAL (Open Source Conference Albania), our biggest annual conference.

OSCAL (Open Source Conference Albania) is the first annual conference in Albania organized to promote software freedom, open source software, free culture and open knowledge. The Conference will gather free libre open source technology users, developers, academics, governmental agencies and people who share the idea that software should be free and open for the local community and governments to develop and customize to its needs; that knowledge is a communal property and free and open to everyone.
You can find more info on the official website: https://osc.al

This is the 5th consecutive year the conference is being organized. Fedora has been present in the conference since the first year that we had several ambassadors to represent the project. OSCAL has been one of the main factors that has helped in the involvement of new contributors in the Fedora community. Many students learn about Fedora first at OSCAL and have become regular contributors to the project, including myself.

Every year, Fedora has sponsored various Ambassadors to give talks/hold workshops about various topics at the conference. We believe that OSCAL is a good opportunity to attract newcomers and increase the number of contributors in the project (and Fedora users in Albania). We would like to do the same as every year. Any thoughts about this or is anyone interested to join OSCAL 2018 this year? We have opened our CFP (https://osc.al/cfp) and the deadline is March 15.

Thank you very much.

Best,
Anxhelo
