Thanks for the write-up, Mike! Sounds like LISA went well this year and 
we got a lot of technical interest. Do you happen to remember who (or 
have their contact info) was running the large deployment of Fedora 
installations at a university? It could make for a great Fedora Magazine 
article. :)

In either case, thanks for helping represent Fedora at LISA!

Can you comment on how effective DVDs were beyond the example mentioned?
 Is this still a priority for this market or did people just want a take
away to remember Fedora by and we could do something different?

I'd love to see this article put into two-three paragraphs for a round
up of presence of Fedora in the magazine or the commblog.  I'd love to
see all our events there (and the fact that we will be there advertised
heavily before the event :).

Fantastic work!

It was my impression that people were not particularly interested in
the DVD without even checking the version. But that might be some
amount of confirmation bias on my part. :)

Justin,

About the university(ies) using it there there were a few  namely Yale's
IT department and MIT had a representative, I had grabbed the Yale
dude's info but can't seem to readily find it if I do I can pass that
along to you tho.

Also I can confirm Matt's feelings on the lack of overall interest in
DVD Media, and a desire for usb media ( while I know there has been many
a chat on the increased $$ aspect of printed usb media)
