Event Report: Fedora 14 Release Party, Dhaka, Bangladesh

[Angel]

Bangladesh Linux Users Alliance (BLUA) is organizing the Fedora and Ubuntu
release party every year, for quite a long time. From the past record, our
release party means, a seminar in a University, where we talk about Linux,
and Open Source, distributing Free Live Media etc. But for the first time,
this release party was like a real Party. And this is the first time we
celebrated the grand release party for two of the most popular Linux distro
jointly with Fedora Bangladesh and Ubuntu Bangladesh. BLUA helped to
organize this event in conjunction with these two Local Team.

It was on December 4, in a restaurant at Dhanmaondi. The guests were shown
the demo of the new released versions. A lot of Linux users and enthusiasts
participated at the party. The CD/DVD and t-shirts embedded with Fedora and
Ubuntu logos were distributed among the guests. The t-shirts and the cake
was the most surprised item. As a wrap up, we also had snacks and drinks
there.  In background, we enjoyed the music of Armin Van Buuren.

The party was awesome, and the Fedora and Ubuntu fans that attended really
enjoyed themselves. Everyone was impressed. It is our most successful event,
no doubt.

Now we are planning to organize similar release party in different districts
of Bangladesh in the near future.

Good stuff.  Could you elaborate on what kinds of projects and FOSS
work your members are/would be interested in participating within
Fedora?  It will be great to see both consumption of FOSS as well
as creation of it as well.

We work more like Fedora Project. We have Artist Team, Programming Team,
Localization Team, Web Team, Support Team etc. We use our web portal [1] and
forum [2] for our work. Most of the people feel comfortable to work in
Bangla here, the reason they are not much involve with other international
project. However, currently we are working on our own Linux distro for local
use.

Thanks for this.  I appreciate that English might not be the
best way to get engaged and that is fine. Working on art, l10n
etc is excellent.
