Shipping / Move In Details for Ohio LinuxFest (fwd)
by Max Spevack 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

FYI, for the Ohio Linux Fest folks. We requested power and contributed a bit extra for the Fedora table, but the event organizers should triple-check to make sure we have it. Red Hat's also sponsoring, but I don't know what sort of booth or table the corporate folks will have. But there's a nice opportunity to try to have everyone go out to dinner, and share some perspectives from the community <-> corporate bi-directionally. Someone can send me the receipt if one of my fellow Red Hatter's doesn't pick it up (which they should). :) --Max ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:01:35 -0400 From: Rob Ball Subject: Shipping / Move In Details for Ohio LinuxFest *Dear Ohio LinuxFest Exhibitor, The purpose of this email is to inform you about your exhibitor space at the Ohio LinuxFest. **Event Venue Facts: Ohio LinuxFest expo will take place on Saturday September 11, 2010 from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. at Greater Columbus Convention Center, 400 North High Street Columbus, Ohio 43215.

The idea
by robert beatty 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

I like the idea of Fedora in stores, and it wouldnt be too hard in terms of demand. However i must agree with Joerg on dummy tools and such for as it stands now there is still to much tweaking to be done to make it completely dummy proof.
