Just a quick update on preparations for GITEX 2007:
Pre-Event News
* Volunteers to man the booth are desperately needed. This is a
great opportunity to promote Fedora 7, meet lots of IT pros (and
future employers?), and, maybe, even play with the OLPC XO laptop.
* Support from Red Hat Europe and OpenNet MEA has been excellent. Thanks!
* We have a demo pod, courtesy of Red Hat
* We have an excellent design for a poster and flyer, in English
and Arabic. Terrific job!
* We now have 380 Fedora 7 DVDs
Accommodation
* Booking rooms for this event are a challenge. I'm staying with a friend.
Booth
* Red Hat Europe has confirmed we can use a portion of their booth space.
* The Fedora Project will have a purpose-built demo pod.
* Booth assignment is Stand A6-11 in Hall 6 - See exhibition hall
floor layout.

have been asked to provide a layout for a sign for the demo pod
consisting of a large title and 3-4 major points.

Fedora Art Team themes and design. Thanks, Hisham!
