Sure, Teseu, that was in my plans. Even presenting Fedora in some already
known event such as FISL, as you said.
Let's do that. We could exchange MSN or GTalk. Mine is
rafaelliu(a)gmail.comfor either.

Self-Introduction: Rafael Liu Santos
by rafaelliu
Hey all, my name is Rafael Liu Santos and I'm from Brasília, the Brazil
capital. I'm a college student in Universidade de Brasília, third year (2
more to graduate!).
I've started using linux with Gentoo, since then I've tried Debian and
Slackware before sticking with Fedora. I feel it's a great project and I'd
like to contribute, at first evangelizing which doesn't need much expertise,
but maybe later with something like some RPM package support. I'm a Java
enthusiastic too, and I've been longing to engage in some open source
initiative, which I really believe is a great idea.
Honestly my professional back ground is in Java, linux is something I love
to do any spare time I have. Said that I don't have any certifications or
this sorta things.. (I'm planning doing LPI next month, tho). Still I think
I have some contribution to make, as my college have lots of students and
our labs have linux and geeks there use linux at home and there are teachers
supporting it. I think it's a great environment to spread Fedora.
Recently I saw some Ubuntu DVDs being distributed and Sun ambassadors have
being talking about Open Solaris. Then I thought about all of that I've
written you and asked my self why not to engage Fedora and spice things up
there.

The big issue with the confusion is that Fedora's bugzilla is Red
Hat's bugzilla. So if I want to push an EPEL bug I report to "redhat".
If I want to report a fedora bug.. I report to "redhat". This is one
area where Red Hat's brand squashes Fedora's brand in people's minds.
Squashes it dead. People will equate EPEL == Red Hat for many
reasons.. but that is the one that stands out in my mind the most.
(next to epel-devel-list(a)redhat.com versus fedoraproject.org or some
such thing).

Exclusive Fedora Interview,- With project leader, Paul W. Frields
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Exclusive-Fedora-Interview-86401.shtml
"Softpedia: How does Fedora intend to overtake Ubuntu?
Paul W. Frields: Interestingly, this question assumes that Fedora's
goals, and the way we achieve them, are exactly the same as Ubuntu's.
Like Ubuntu, we have millions of users. We're able to report that, based
on the entirely open source technologies we use for our project. The key
to Fedora's strategy is realizing that doubling our number of users
doesn't help advance free and open source software as much as doubling
the number of active contributors. The work those contributors do
creates a far better experience with Linux, and that work reaches
audiences through many channels besides just the Fedora Project. Some
technology examples include NetworkManager, PackageKit, IcedTea and
OpenJDK 6, and ext4. You can see these technologies in distributions
other than Fedora, which shows the impact this "culture of contribution"
idea is having across FOSS."
