Hi Jan
Welcome to Riyadh :)

About the Fedora community,
I know only one contributer in Riyadh, but there are some users.
During the past few months I've been introducing Fedora to a lot of my
friends.

If you're wondering about the reason of the number of users who use Fedora
here, that's because of the availability of pirated products. Which won't
make an economical problem for people.
That problem is in most Asian countries, except some like Hong Kong, Japan
...etc.
So most people here know nothing about Open Source things, so I'm trying to
spread the Open Source understanding, and Fedora here.

If you need any help with Riyadh, feel free to contact me :)

Regards
