Ambassadors,<br><br>There are a large number of us who will be in Berlin next week for<br>LinuxTag.<br><br>A few reminders:<br><br>When we are there, please remember that when we are at the actual<br>LinuxTag event, at the hotel, or out at a bar, we are all
<br>representatives of the Fedora Project. We need to be well-mannered,<br>polite, respectful, etc. All that obvious stuff. People will remember<br>how you act, and remember what group you represented.<br><br>This is particularly important at the hotel -- there are somewhere
<br>between 20 and 30 of us all staying at the same hotel. We need to<br>remember that we're not the only people there -- not be too loud at<br>night, not get in the way of other guests, etc.<br><br>And now, the most important thing:
<br><br>If you are going to "work the booth" at the event, ACTUALLY WORK THE<br>BOOTH. If you want to go on your laptop and read email, that is fine,<br>but take yourself and your computer AWAY from the booth to do it.
<br><br>I want our setup to look and be as professional as possible. And that<br>means that we have a few people who are standing up, actively trying to<br>speak to people who are stopping by, and explaining to them what Fedora
<br>is. If the people at the booth are looking at their computers, it<br>doesn't seem very friendly.<br><br>I warn everyone in advance that I'm going to be a bit "mean" about<br>making sure that we present a very professional face.
<br><br>Remember the key points about Fedora 7:<br><br>Fedora is an open platform for innovation. Think about those 3 words:<br><br>OPEN -- the entire Fedora Process is now completely in the community<br><br>PLATFORM -- we provide a huge number of RPMs and a "suggested" ISO. But
<br>people can expand and build on what we provide however they want<br><br>INNOVATION -- Fedora is where we always push to do new things, and<br>include the newest free software technology<br><br>If you are a "Linux User"
<br> * LiveCD is very useful to you, easy demonstration<br> * LiveUSB stick also<br> * Revisor is very useful to you, easy customization<br> * All the latest from upstream<br><br>If you are a "Linux Developer"
<br> * The "open toolchain" of Koji, Pungi, and Revisor<br> * Build your own Fedora appliance exactly the same way that the<br>Fedora Project does<br> * Customization of the distro, including 3rd party RPMs, at
<br>build time.<br><br>thanks,<br>Max<br><br>--<br>Max Spevack<br>+ <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MaxSpevack">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MaxSpevack</a><br>+ gpg key -- <a href="http://spevack.org/max.asc">http://spevack.org/max.asc
