Fedora Event in Mauritius
by Amit Caleechurn 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Hello everyone, I am planning a fedora event for Infotech ( www.infotech.mu) to be held in Mauritius on the 19-22 of November. This is the biggest ICT event of country expecting to attract 65 000 visitors. This is normally a paid event for exhibitors (from $1000 to $10000) but after sending a brochure of fedora along with a live usb disk to the organizers, we have obtained a free slot to showcase fedora. We have just about a month to get all sorted so any help from the folks would be appreciated. I have a list of questions/request that people could help with: Fedora version: I don't expect to have Constantine in hand to showcase at the exhibition so what would you advise me to showcase the Beta/PR edtion or just go for Fedora 11 Media Distribution: Are there guys with CDs/DVDs left from previous events that they are willing to ship to me. Of course I will be burning my own lot but don't expect it to be enough Marketing Materials: I have the sponsor of company (LCA Limited) for the tshirts (Linux user group volunteers) and banners that will be on display, are there any additional marketing materials i can get hold of? I have the generic flyer from the marketing section for both fedora and FEL spin. Slides/Presentation: Who has an updated presentation for Fedora? I have the latest for FEL (F12). I can obtain a 45 min slot on each day for presentation in a conference room, I have in mind 3 fedora presentations and one (day) for FEL. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Amit
