<b>Hello to everyone who cares about Fedora!!!</b><br><br>I come to you with a proposal about how a "Virtual FUDcon" could be set up on a web site...<br>When a REAL Convention is happening in a city, a virtual extension takes place as well.<br>
On my Linux Blog (<a href="http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com" target="_blank">http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com</a>,) there is a example of what I will <br>describe is shown, made in GIMP. A web site is set up with a live video feed, archived <br>
video links, a ticker for alerts, and IRC-style chat rooms called "booths." Please consider<br>using this "Virtual Convention" concept for FUDcon 2009 or any other <br>Convention/Event!!!</blockquote>
</div></div><div> Hi Markus,<br><br>The idea of having Virtual FUDcon is nice, but we should keep in mind that Middle East & Afircan fedora users might not be able to attend this, because of low internet bandwidth & high cost...i am afraid to say most part of these contenent might not be able to watch this <br>
</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I would love the idea of a virtual FUDcon. I am based in Canada, but due to our only 2 air carriers, the prices for flying anywhere is extremely expensive (3 hour flight, for example, is CDN $1000+). However, we have some selection of ISPs and being able to attend virtually would be the ideal option for us. Not quite the same as being there, but better than nothing. I would definitely partake in that, even if there was a charge involved for access to it. <br>
