Fosscomm 2010 is over!<br><br>The previous weekend (24-25/4) in Thessaloniki, Greece took place the yearly FOSS Community conference which is right now the biggest FOSS conference in Greece. Greek Fedora team was there and had a great time and presence. <br>
<br clear="all">In the last months Greek Fedora community is very active with a lot of adds especially in the translations and Ambassador team. That's why in every foss event in Greece we have the best and active presence.<br>
In last year's FossComm, Fedora's booth had three ambassadors/contributors, one translator and one friend of us who is now a member of the marketing team. This year our booth was way bigger with 7 ambassadors/contributors one contributor from the marketing team, one female translator and one beautiful girl who is helping continuously fedora without being registered anywhere. <br>
The conference was successful with about 500 people attending. What a wonderful chance to inform people about Fedora, our new Greek Fedora forum and find new contributors. <br>Our booth had everything, the usual LiveCDs and install DVDs, many flyers, fedora stickers, fedora buttons, cheat cubes and 2 fedora coffee cups. I am very thrilled about the passion of our new contributors who gave their best to inform the people and present Fedora 13's new futures. By numbers we gave a lot of live CDs (250), flyers (130), swag and we earned 3 new translators and one marketing guy.<br>
<br>
In FossComm now, Fedora had one talk and one workshop. The talk had the title "Fedora fails and that a good thing" and made by me and Pierros Papadeas. In the talk Pierros had the role of the Fedora as an operating system and I had the role of the Fedora Community. We introduced the fedora architecture and we explained that even when & if we fail our infrastructure is such well organized and build that the fail turns into a good thing about the Fedora project. With other words we present our perfect governance. The audience gave us very positive feedback and that pleased us.<br>
In the workshop Pierros Papadeas impressed the audience presenting Fedora 13's new futures. I have to admit that his presentation was (as always) amazing, encouraging new people to give a try to Fedora 13.<br><br>In the end i am pretty sure that Fedora had another successful presence in FossComm 2010. Well done guys, you did an excellent job. Way to go!<br>
<br>I want to admit that I spent little time in the Fedora booth because I was FossComm's 2010 event organizer and I had many responsibilities. :)<br><br>Original Blogpost: <a href="http://bacharakis.com/2010/05/06/fosscomm-2010-is-over-review-from-fedoras-point-of-view/">http://bacharakis.com/2010/05/06/fosscomm-2010-is-over-review-from-fedoras-point-of-view/</a><br>
