So apparently I'm invited to Campus Party in Colombia. For all
who
doesn't know, Campus Party its a really huge meeting for all geeks (and
not geeks) to share everything related to technology. This year Campus
Party is going to be at Bogot?? and a company from my city will be
sponsoring me to go to the event which will last for seven days from
June 23th to June 29th . I knew about the event a month ago, but i didnt
plan on going (it was too expensive for me) but now I'll be there.
I just knew about the Free Software section at Campus party, so im
planning on being there all the time I can. I knew about a Debian
conference and so i felt like failing here as i see no one from fedora
(we have 3 ambassadors there) is doing something, so right now its too
late for me to prepare something that should be accepted for the event,
so i would like to know in which other way should i promote fedora?
All suggestions are very welcome :)
My suggestion:
1. Try to get something accepted by the event anyway. The Fedora name is
a big name. They might make an exception.
2. Put this event on the Event Page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents
This way, other regional ambassadors have a better chance of knowing about
it.
3. If you can't get any formal recognition at the event, just show up and
set up a cheap card table and a chair, print a Fedora sign, and make 50
CDs and lots and lots of collateral. What are they going to do, throw you
out? :)
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
