Dear ambassadors,
While
the JIL (Journée de l'Informatique Libre) is an event that
place every year (well since last year) to
Toulon on the subject of
Free Software. It
is also the only important event of its kind
hosted by the city. This
remains a much more local event
that JM2L example. This day was organized
by
PostPro association.
For my part I attended the whole day and I held a
stand. Moreover
Fedora was the only distribution "officially"
shown, the other stands involve local
associations or
more general as APRIL.
We were able to interact with interesting
people, make Fedora,
etc. Then I
reinforced the links with JM2L
associations in the corner, Fedora is the only
major distribution
not used by a member of these associations,
some people
who wanted to talk about Fedora have been
redirected to me directly
particular. I find this important.
The day was otherwise well spent with
interesting lectures.
But this event is not organized by PostPro next year. I therefore proposed to
organizers to take over in a few weeks, I
will
discuss more deeply. And
of course, Fedora can be
better lighting next year in this case (this year
it was
Kaella,
after distribution of the association Linux-Azur).
Organizers for the event have ordered (or
received) a large
number of Linux Pratique Essentiel (a French
magazine) on Fedora 13 (and Ubuntu 10.10), which
were free
distribution.At the
end of the day,
there remained 25. The
organizer has kindly
given meGiven the overall quality
of the article
Fedora, I think it could be used at
future events.
Otherwise it has received some donations of CDs,
about 5-10 left.
