Shipping / Move In Details for Ohio LinuxFest (fwd)
by Max Spevack
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). :)

Hi,
I'm part of the group organizing the Software Freedom Day event in
Dallas, TX. We'd like to get Fedora CDs and any other swag that's
available to hand out at our event. If a Fedora Ambassador is available
locally who can participate in some way that would be great too.
We have a Wiki page set up with more information on our local SFD event:

Any CD or other materials can be sent via postal mail to this address:

The idea
by robert beatty
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.
