<br>
We had organized a Fedora Activity Day last weekend in the Red Hat<br>
office in Pune, India. It was a two day event. You might have seen the<br>
blog posts on that over this week in Planet Fedora and we have a roundup<br>
of all that at<br>
<br>

<br>
We had a variety of projects and tasks that was tackled during the<br>
event. Here is a quick summary:<br>
<br>
* OLPC/Sugar: Sayamindu who works for OLPC joined hands with Kushal Das<br>
to package up a accessibility tool of interest to OLPC and a Sugar<br>
activity called Pathagar which is a book server<br>
(<a href="http://github.com/sayamindu/pathagar" target="_blank">http://github.com/sayamindu/pathagar</a>). Sayamindu also gave a talk on<br>
life as downstream of Fedora.<br>
<br>
* Fedora Tour - A clutter based app with whiz bang effects that aims to<br>
provide a friendly welcome screen for new users on first login. Ankur<br>
Sinha is leading this effort. Ankur Sinha has also helped out in<br>
packaging reviews and submitted a few new review requests. The latest<br>
being a dependency of Shotwell.<br>
