FOSDEM 07 Feed Back

[Frederic Hornain]

Dear *,

First of all, sorry for the wrong manipulation !

Then I would like to excuse myself to have missed at the last minute this
fabulous event this year but as I told to Chitlesh last friday
unfortunatly my daughter was very ill and I could not be there. I had to
take care of her.
Sorry again. :(

Nonetheless, I have seen that Fedora presence was successfull.
I looked at pictures at http://www.simline.de/fosdem and I recognized some
ambassadors that I met previouly.

I have also seen that OLPC laptop was at the Fedora Booth as planned.

However, I would be very interesting by your fresh feed back in order to
improve this event next year.
I know already that we would have to increase the size of the booth.
Sorry for that but I did not know at the reservation time that as much as
Fedora people came.

So,
Did you have any problems with the Dev'room ?
Did you have any problem with the Hardware Insurance ?
Do you think that Red Hat and Fedora would have a common booth or a separate
booth close each other ?
What kind of improvment would you suggest for next year ?
What do you think about an annual FUDCON at FOSDEM for EMEA Fedora users ?
And so on and so for ....

Thanks in advance for you answers.

BR
Fred

I don't think so - imho. Anyone got any problems ?

I didn't use it :)

I don't know if Red Hat will be there next year, but I hope that it will be. And
either I don't know what Max is thinking about this - because I share his opinion that
Fedora should show that it's maitened by community from most part and not from Red Hat
(more after merge of core and extras repo's) - and I don't want to say that Red
Hat is not doing a good job from their side. (again it's my humnle opinion).

>  What kind of improvment would you suggest for next year ? 
I was surprised that the network was working :P Just suggestion, maybe it's good idea
to change the place of booth, as it can be different every year.

Most of my reports from FOSDEM are in my blog:

No, this was great.

>  Did you have any problem with the Hardware Insurance ? 
No, I hope no one needed it!

"Red Hat" didn't have a booth at all this past year, and even if it did, I 
think it's important to have them separate, because the corporate and 
community sides of Red Hat are quite different.  That's why we have a 
separate Fedora brand to begin with.

I think that what we did this year was very good.  Treating our series of 
talks in the DevRoom as sort of a mini FUDCon worked well.  I was very 
happy with the event.
