Philadelphia FC10 Release Party Success!

[Kam Salisbury]

A great Linux Meetup happened tonight (
http://linux.meetup.com/432/calendar/9014167/ )

For the Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA Fedora Core 10 release party, 13
people met tonight at 7pm EST in the Day & Zimmerman building. A fifteen
minute overview of the Fedora Core 10 release began over an hour of
questions and answers session about the new FC10 release as well a Fedora in
general.

Fedora Core 10 Live CDs were free for the taking with approximately 8 CDs
being taken for use elsewhere. A few people had their laptop in hand and
tried Fedora right on the spot tonight! A few other people had brought USB
flash drives so that they could try the non-destructive and persistent
installs of Fedora. There was even interest for the "Sugar" spin of Fedora!

The meeting room, overhead projection as well as all pizza and beverages
were provided by Yoh. (So, absolutely no cost to the Fedora Project for this
release party! I gladly donated the Live CDs)

Thank you everyone for your advice and mentoring these past few months. I
felt very comfortable speaking about Fedora with this group because of the
support from all of you on the Ambassador's list.

Indeed well done for the great job! Just a little reminder:
Across internet there are many users that continue to refer to Fedora OS
as "Fedora Core"
This matter is resolved from Fedora 7 [1] and it's a same to feedback
the naming FC to the internet users. I hope this little thing  to be
corrected for the next Fedora Release Event.

Keep "fedoring"!
