Fedora Event in Mauritius
by Amit Caleechurn
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.

> FOSDEM [1], the most developer-oriented Free and Opensource conference in
> Europe, is taking place in Brussels, Belgium [2] on *Saturday 6 and Sunday 7
> February 2010*. Apart from having many invited speakers, the conference
> offers developer rooms, stands and lightning talks to projects from the Free
> and Opensource community. This results in a staggering number of 250+
> lectures!
>
> We hereby welcome proposals from speakers and projects to talk in a main
> track, man a stand, or hold a lightning talk. /Information on developer rooms
> will become available later, as we are slightly reworking the concept/.
>
> As every year, we have only a limited number of rooms, space for stands and
> lightning talk slots. Since we always receive more requests than we can host,
> a committee within the FOSDEM organizing team will review all proposals.
> Selection will be based on possible impact, our experience of previous
> editions and diversity in the offerings.
>
> .... Main Tracks
>
> During the two days of the conference the biggest rooms are reserved for the
> three keynotes and the eighteen technical lectures giving a seat for no less
> than 2000 visitors. The main tracks are categorized in six general topics
> going from development languages, security, kernel, collaboration,... When

> See http://fosdem.org/2010/call_for_main_tracks [3]

> .... Devrooms
>
> Our goal for the developer rooms is to stimulate developer collaboration and
> cross-pollination between projects. /We are reworking the concept of devrooms
> a bit, to better achieve those goals using the room capacity we have/.
>
> .... Stands
>
> We offer stands in the hallways to projects that want to present themselves
> to the visitors in a more personal fashion. Stands can be used to share
> information, demo software, sell merchandising or give away goodies.
>
> See http://fosdem.org/2010/call_for_stands [4]
>
> .... Lightning talks
>
> Lightning talks are for all other projects that want to present something. A
> lightning talk is a short talk in which a project can introduce itself, talk
> about recent developments, or share exciting new directions.
>
> See http://fosdem.org/2010/call_for_lightningtalks [5]

> FOSDEM 2010 will be the 10th edition of the event, which has been steadily
> growing every year in importance and in the number of visitors. Our goal is
> to provide a platform to Free and Opensource projects to meet, discuss,
> present their current and future developments, both to their own developer
> and user community as to other projects that are present. Given the large
> amount of active contributors from many different projects present during the
> conference, it is an exceptionally well suited occasion to share goals and
