IEEE International Conference in Tunisia
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
The 16th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and
Systems, ICECS 2009 [1], will be held in Tunisia on the 13th to 16th
December 2009.
The wiki page [2] says we have 7 ambassadors in Tunisia. Can anyone of
you represent FEL at that conference ?
Tasks include:
- writing and sending a paper (will be done by me)
- prepare local ambassadors with the talking points (will be done by me)
- attend the conference and distribute your Fedora business cards (eat
good food too :) )
- if our paper is selected by the chair, the ambassador will give a
brief introduction about Fedora&FEL
You may find other publications, screenshots and presentations on [3].
I believe that FEL should be sending papers to technical conferences
around the world. These papers will describe our opensource EDA
solutions and Fedora's key features eventually.
If you are aware of such conferences in your locality, please let me know :)

OpenExpo Winterthur 23.-24. September 2009 Switzerland
by Fabian Affolter
Hi all,
The next OpenExpo [1] will take place at Winterthur (Switzerland) from
24th till 25th of September 2009.
The advantage of more people around a table is that we will be able to
cover more topics (from packaging over artwork to translation) and a
strong presence there can strength the Fedora Project in Switzerland.
If you will be there and want to give a hand at the booth, please add
yourself to the list of attendees [2].
Kind regards,
Fabian

refreshing CDs/DVDs in EMEA?
by Max Spevack
EMEA Ambassadors,
We've got about 2 months left in the Fedora 11 release cycle.
Looking at the EMEA events page, I only see two events between now and
F12's release that would need media:
* Software Freedom Day in Stockholm (Roger Sinel)
* OpenExpo in Winterthur (Fabian Affolter)
======
A while back, we took an inventory of what was left from the FUDCon
Berlin media, and made sure that the FrOSCon folks had CDs, etc.
I already know that Roger Sinel needs some media in Stockholm, but I'm
not sure what Fabian's situation is.
So, the purpose of this email is to:
(1) Find out if Fabian has the media he needs for OpenExpo.
(2) Find out who has leftover F11 media that they aren't using, and
could ship to Roger in Stockholm.
======
I'd rather not have to go back to the production company for a small run
of extra F11 media, and instead save our money for F12 media, and
because we're working on getting together a new tshirt order for EMEA as
well.
More details about swag status, production, and distribution to be
expected coming out of FAD EMEA next month.

I conducted one day Free software workshop on 29th August, at KLN madurai
for the pre-final year CSE and IT students (50+). The session started with
an introduction to Free software and philosophy.Then i explained various
GNU/Linux commands and applications. Mailing list etiquettes were taught
using shakthi's presentation (Thanks shakthi) . Introduced IRC and students
were taught about getting help from various support channels.
In afternoon session, it was all about Nmap , Ncat and Ettercap (FOSS
Network Security tools) , students were taught about security risks of
transmitting plain text passwords on the wire, ARP cache poisoning and DNS
spoofing were demonstrated and explained using ettercap.
Fedora 11 was installed in 30+ Lab machines for hands on. The response from
the students was excellent. Hospitality was good.
Fedora 11 DVDs were distributed to all the participants.
I thank HOD of CSE department,KLN and Final year student Dhivakaran for
