<div>Dear *,</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font color="#000000">Indeed, I would be more in accordance with the Gerold Kassube's way of thinking.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"></font> </div>
<div>In any case, for that kind of event but not for commercial event like Linuxworld and so on which are more business oriented and where a part of visitors does not have or does not understand obligatorily what is the Open source community's way of thinking.
</div>
<div>You see what I mean. </div>
<div>- For instance a guy which have the "Ms attitude" will not obligatorily understand why he should have to give a donation in order to have a swag. -</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Of course, we have got exceptions like linux solutions in Paris which is an hybrid cause it regroups the both kind of person. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, you will see the FOSDEM is more technaly event, a big familly party even if a lot of IT managers, experts and so on are there. So no problem here for donation.</div>
<div>However I just notice you that other communities like Open Suse are going like previous year to offer tee-shirt and so on to visitors. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Well, in addition I think that nevertheless we should offer sometimes swag.</div>
<div>Anyway, to people who demonstrates a permanant use of fedora or a real interest.</div>
<div>It will be to ambassadors to define it. <br> </div>
<div>Best Regards</div>
<div>Fred<br> </div>
