Hey all,
On september 22th we had the Software Freedom Day celebration in Tijuana,
México. It was organized by the local LUG (Grupo de Usuarios GNU/Linux de
Tijuana <
http://www.gultij.org>) which I am a member of and there were like
150 attendants at the event. We gave away many Fedora DVDs and stickers,
and I saw people trying Fedora on the lunch break. Most of them asked me
how was it different from Ubuntu, a few others asked how to install
programs. There were some people (I saw 4) that already had fedora on their
laptops, and like 2 that had it on virtualbox.
There were 6 conferences and the topics were:
- Intro to Linux, the Free Software and the GULTIJ.
- The future of mobile development: Android.
- Projects hosting in Google Code.
- IPV6.
- Linux USB Device Drivers.
- Marshmellow Game Engine: Free/Libre console.
- The Yocto project.
The event ran from 8:30 am til 4:30 pm. Food and drinks was sponsored for
all the attendants. The event was also transmitted on a local webradio
station. For more details and pictures here is my blog post (in spanish):

Thanks to Fedora for all the support! :D
