Hi Francesco ,

we were expecting someone  ( or anyone)from the Fedora community in general , who are well versed with the working of Open Source and could make the Freshmen experience the power and feel of open source with their talk , and what can be a better example than the Fedora Project itself . :-)

i am also sending a copy of this to rahul , as i have seen that rahul is among the most active of the India Fedora Community . Once we have someone who is ready to take the opportunity  to represent the Fedora Project and the Open Source in general , we could have further discussions about the exact event dates , and other details !

we are looking forward to this event as a big way to start out with Fedora at our college !

Thanks
Satish
Fedora Ambassador (Secunderabad) .

Hello Everyone,

This is Karthik Parvathaneni, doing my B.Tech in Computing Sciences and an
ambassador of Fedora from Hyderabad region, INDIA I dint give in an
Introduction to you guys about myself, Not exactly lazy to do so but i
thought it is a bit childish. Sorry if i am wrong.
Leaving that aside, We (Myself and Satish Eerpini , the Fedora Ambassador of
Secunderabad) are planning to conduct an event under LUG(Linux User
Group)@VIT for Freshmen to create awareness about Fedora Project. We are
Planning to do as an Event where the Fedora Ambassadors can come and Speak
about their Experience on using Fedora and Linux in general. We have planned
to Invite someone form the Fedora Commitee to come aswell. Regarding the
accomodation for the commitee members, we will take care. We just need you
guys to come to our college and share your valuable Experience with us. This
way, we would like to promote fedora at our college and aswell get freshers
knowing the power of open source.
The procedure and dates are not yet decided but the expected days are around
the last week of August (mostly Saturday). We will continu the thread with
other updates. The Event will be conducted in VIT (Vellore Institute of
Technology) at Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. Expecting people from Bangalore,
Chennai, Hyderabad areas, as they are near by. As the Event is on a
non-working day, hope no problems occur.
People Interested can contact me(callmeno2@gmail.com) or Satish(
eerpini@gmail.com) for further information or can aswell post their quieries
as reply thread.

Thanks you,
Karthik Parvathaneni

This news sounds good. Feel free to ask India responsible Snakarshan Mukhopadhyay and Rahul Sundaram and the other APAC communities member.

It's important this touch and feel experience and I'm pretty sure it could be a success.

When you talk about "Fedora Commitee" are you talking about Fedora Board or FAmSCo? For the second one i can forward this mail to FAmSCo list to see if someone is available, personally I can't be able to take part of the initiative due to another trip planned (FUDCon). If you are talking about Fedora Board (the most probable thing you wanted), I can't say anything, but you can try to ask them.

Regards

Francesco Ugolini
