BASIS SoftExpo 2010

[mak]

Dear All,

Hope you are doing fine.

I'm one of the Fedora Ambassador from Bangladesh and is involved with a
volunteer group named Ankur[0]; my colleague (Jamil Ahmed) is the l10n
maintainer[1] for Bengali(bn_BD). My organization is involved with l10n
project and Spreading FOSS in Bangladesh for last several years.

You will be glad to know that we are attending annual Software Exhibition
2010 [2] arranged by Bangladesh Association of Software and Information
Services (BASIS) [3]. It will be held between February 10-14, 2010. More
than 200 exhibitors and over 300,000 visitors and delegates are expected to
participate and attend this 5 day long exposition.

We will demonstrate and distribute Bengali localized Linux Distributions and
FOSS - which includes Fedora12. We are developing Bangla user manuals with
localized screenshots - which will be distributed in this event too. We are
planning to distribute a large number of DVD, Stickers, Flyer throughout the
5 day exhibition - as far as we can afford.

It will be a great help if we have your support. I've updated my event in
FY10 Q4 [4]. Please let us know the possibility.

Regards,
Mahay Alam Khan (mak)
Fedora Ambassador Bangladesh.

We shall be interested to know which type of support are you talking about?
I don't think that would be a problem.

Thanks.

Hello Susmit,
We need DVD, T-Shirts, Stickers, Flyer, Banner and Festoon for the 5 day
Expo. It's easy to prepare things localy instead receiving from overseas. As
Joerg asked I shall open a ticket shortly for this once I am finished with
the cost calculating.

That's great.
We now have our own tracker for APAC. Please use it.
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-apac/
I shall update the wiki of the trac soon.

Hope this helps. :)


Thanks.

Susmit,
I'm in a dilemma, which one shall I use to open the ticket, in APAC or the
one (FAmSCo) Joerg told.

To me:
MAK should make two tickets:
1) for Budget: FAmSCo
2) For cooperation and requested materials: APAC

N.b.: I would like to request Susmit to visit and give a brief about Fedora
at the event as a FAmSCo member, and for sure if he is available. It would
be great if he is at the event.


Thanking you,

Opening a ticket with the APAC trac should be fine.
I can take it up with FAmSCo. No worries. :)

Hi,

This event will be sponsored as was decided yesterday.

We all have agreed that this event will be supported provided

It is a nice effort and we all wish you all the best for the event. :)

Susmit (and FAmSCo member),
thank you for considering the event, this will surely help us initiate a
process to visualize the shape of fedora-bd. We will surelyy arrange a
get-together / activity day of fedora-bd within BASIS SoftExpo 2010.

Thank you once again.

We are running short, would be better if you send in advance through Western
Uninon Mony transfer.

Day 1 at BASIS SoftExpo (i will send event report separately)

The first day of the fair had less happenings, we distributed 83 DVD though,
most of them were to other booth personnels. Haven't distributed any
T-Shirts I'm keeping them for the FAD scheduled on 13th February.
Photographs will be uploaded on Ankur's Flickr account later.

BTW, my organization received one OLPC XO laptop, donated by George Hunt
when he came to visit Bangladesh earlier this month; we are very lucky to
showcase the only OLPC XO Laptop in the fair.

good night (from Bangladesh)
