[APAC] is there media in Australia?
by Kévin Raymond 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Hi there, I have a friend who is in need of at least 1 media in Australia, cause the bandwith is so poor where he is. (He is going to make some demos). I am not involved in the freemedia program and he is not a Fedora contributor, so not sure that this request is right here… But if you know the way, I will forward. Cheers, -- Kévin Raymond (shaiton) GPG-Key: A5BCB3A2

Hello Ambassadors, For those who weren't at the Red Hat Summit and those who want to relive the fun, I have posted the photos I took during the conference. General Booth Fun and Activities: http://www.flickr.com/photos/graphitefriction/sets/72157630414989692/ ARM Set Up and Demo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/graphitefriction/sets/72157630414896298/ Party at Fenway: http://www.flickr.com/photos/graphitefriction/sets/72157630415081396/ I also wrote up a brief account of my newbie experience behind the booth: http://graphitefriction.com/blog/2012/07/05/chronicling-the-fedora-communit… Finally, I have videos of the booth talks and the ARM demo set up that will be posted soon (sorry, I'm on the road and the chunk of time I need to clean them up keeps eluding me). The links above can also be found on the Fedora @ Red Hat Summit event wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Summit_2012 Cheers, Sarah White (graphite6)
