Cheers :)<br><br>Regards.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/11/30 Edwind Richzendy Contreras Soto <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:richzendy@gmail.com">richzendy@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
On November 20, a group of users and ambassadors from the Venezuelan Fedora Community gather to celebrate the new release of Fedora, share experiences and knowledge.<br><br>The meeting began with a talk that I gave to make the group know the history of the Fedora community in Venezuela and the actual services (web, infrastructure) that we provided to the community, then, continued with a talk by Maria Leandro (aka Tatica) where she explain the support services and the help that Fedora can provide to local communities and how to request such assistance, then a teammate José Tomás García (aka Dogbert) show us in an workshop how to make a Fedora installation from PXE [1] (Preboot Execution Environment) and finally Guillermo Gomez (aka Gomix) announced the project RPMDEV [2] with the intention of seeking more Latin American developers and packers and also showed us the release notes of Fedora 14.<br>
<br>Our lunch was pizza, and we give media to all the ambassadors that came, so they can distribute it in the rest of the year. Also share some some pop material and T-shirts to each of the attendees.<br><br>The intent of this meeting was to reactivate the Fedora community in Venezuela that's been inactive a long time; also to personally meet some new and old members which whom we had the opportunity to make plans together for 2011 over the Fedora dissemination in Venezuela, this was not really achieving due that not all the ambassadors had the oportunity to come.<br>
<br>We wanted that all the ambassadors came and share with us and also work together, this was not acomplished. However, to be this the first Fedora formal event in a long time and had the oportunity to focus only in our community, I think that was a real success, which I hope will be higher for the next meeting. Those ambassadors who where timidly spreading Fedora had previously worked in an isolated status, now have the confidence to call more friends and acquaintances for some upcoming opportunities, and this will make participation much higher.<br>
<br>As noticed, for us this was a little more than a celebration launch party, so we called the meeting FudVen, anyone wanting to know more about how we organized the event can check our wiki [3] (in Spanish) The call was made through the mailing list Fedora Venezuela and who wants to see some pictures, some climbed some of our Flickr account [4].<br>
<br>A total of 500 media where distributed (not-burned dvd), 20 t-shirts from fedora, 200 laptop stickers, 50 vinyl stickers, 20 laptop bubble Fedora stickers, 7 pizzas, 5 sodas and some brochures of fedora, the big Most paid by the Fedora Project and some things paid for by us and left over from previous events.<br>
<br>Serve to give special thanks to Ambassador Carlos Marcano [5] for his effort as he traveled all night by bus to join us.<br><br>Finally, on behalf of the entire Fedora community Venezuela, Congratulations to all those who made Fedora 14.<br>
