Hey y'all.
I am Gent, a currently-silent Fedora ambassador based in Huntsville, AL,
for at least three more weeks, since I am doing an exchange program and I
am going back to my home town in Prishtina, Kosovo.
A dear friend of mine who is also a part of the exchange program is
co-organizing a conference in Lousville on *May 18 to 19*.
This is very late but I was just wondering if there are Ambassadors in the
area who could attend or even set a table for Fedora would be cool. I am
finishing my final exams and didn't have time to fly over there to present
Fedora because otherwise I would be ready in months ahead and proudly ready
to present Fedora. And yes I could have notified you guys ahead too but I
am really sorry, indeed.
To attend the conference costs $35 online or you could pay $50 at the
entrance. There will be tables offered to you if you are planning to
present Fedora, just saying, I am sorry again.

*MOSSCon 2013*
*Free & Open Source Software has, for years, brought together the best and
brightest developers to produce software products that rival, on every
level, the proprietary solutions with massive marketing budgets behind
them. Online, the community grows everyday; more and more, businesses of
all sizes are realizing the power that open source solutions give their
operation; off-line, the open source community is scattered. *
*MOSSCon** (Midwest Open Source Software Conference) brings together these
developers, product managers, users, businesses, thought leaders,
educators, and more to network and learn about the newest advancements in
open source products, and the benefits these products provide to the
operation of these businesses. Through a combination of sessions, keynotes,
workshops, exhibit space, and networking times, MOSSCon delivers the
perfect venue to reach, meet, and mingle with the Open Source Community.*
*MOSSCon team **is** look**ing** forward to create an event that the entire
Open Source Software community can benefit from! Available to both the
general public and the technical community, with the lowest price possible,
this conference will **be** offer**ing** the attendees**:** 22
presentations and 6 workshops **from **1**9 local and regional s**peakers.
Big players in today's OSS community (Apache Software Foundation, CISCO,
RedHat, Mozilla, Eucalyptus etc) covering topics in areas such as security,
high performance computing, cloud systems, web and mobile development, open
government data, maps and much more!*
MOSSCon is a community driven conference; *"By the people, for the people"
as we like to say it, o*rganized for the first time in Kentucky by KYOSS
(Kentucky Open Source Software Society) and a group of enthusiasts who
share the same vision that the software should be Free and Open to the
community to develop and adapt it to their needs. A* group of enthusiasts
of all age groups that is established to promote software freedom, open
source software, free culture and open knowledge, a global movement that
originally started more than 25 years ago.*
