Today was our last Day at Open Expo. We were a strong team Fabian,
Timea ,
Sandro, Frederic and finally Alan Cox and Jan Wildeboer. We all answered
questions an encouraged people to work with us. A view minutes before i get a
mail from a new contributor who want support Chitlesh with Fedora Electronic
Lab.
A great Fedora team at the event.
Jan and i had conversations with OLPC.ch and arranged some contacts
to
support/start a project in Jericho. Because Jan brought his OLPC B1 with a
newer SW Version as the OLPC B2 that we had, i decided to upgrade firmware
and software to try the colaboration stuff, Alan crossed his Fingers and
after a view workarounds both OLPC could work together. Even the formating
process looks great. Max&Seth, you see your old OLPC get a second life :-)
All DVD´s, CD and many Flyers are given away - Fabian has the numbers. From
the countless number of people with i had conversation at this day, there
were around 10 People who will do something to support Fedora in some way.
Yes, we need that "Join Fedora Station" and a coordinated mentoring to pick
them up.
It sounds to me like you were very busy and had a very productive time.
I had also interesting talks with business people and told them how
they can
participate to the Fedora Project and get benefit (not in Money counts) with
it.
Fedora has a lot to offer to businesses, large and small, both in
functionality, and even contributing savings to the bottom line.
It is impossible to describe the fun and all the good things - that
is
somewhat you must experience by yourself.

I like the giant Fedora posters.
