</div>I just looked at the website. ExpEYES looks really interesting. It isn't<br>
my area of expertise, but would the software you're using would fit into<br>
Fedora Electronic Lab or an education spin? You can even have a Fedora<br>
ExpEYES spin actually. Take a look at the proposal process if you'd want<br>
to work on a spin. You'd first need to package the software up and make<br>
it available in the Fedora repositories before you can propose a spin,<br>
though:<br>

</div>That's really great to hear. If you'd like any help from the ambassadors<br>
team, please let us know. Ambassadors near you can come down and help<br>
you organise your workshops. You can also request funds from the budget<br>
to get Fedora CDs/DVDs burnt in large quantities, as well as to buy swag<br>
(stickers/posters) for your events.<br>

<br>
</div>Awesome! You can always write education related posts on the magazine<br>
too. It'll be easier for users to install the software if it's available<br>
in the Fedora repositories. It might be slightly incoherent for a post<br>
on the fedora magazine to ask folks to install debian ;) If you need any<br>
help with this, drop me an email, or find me on the IRC. I'm already a<br>
package maintainer and can help you with your spec files/reviews and the<br>
rest. We could even get together folks and have an IRC FAD (Fedora<br>
Activity Day) for this!<br>
<br>
If you can, it'll be nice to drop in one of the APAC IRC meetings that<br>
occur on alternate Saturdays and get to know the folks.<br>
