RE: [Fedora-ambassadors-list] FOSDEM -Brussel-

[Hornain Frederic]

Dear Alex,

Following our previous mail - see below (ref : #2) -, I have contacted the FOSDEM Team -
see below (ref : #1) - in order to get more information about this event.

So now, I am going to represent definitvely Fedora at the FOSDEM in Brussel.
I am not going to be the only one.

As soon as possible I am going to update the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents
web page 

So as you have already organized such events, maybe you could give me one or two advices.

For instance, do I have to only install Fedora on PC ? Or maybe specific implementations
like Xen...

In addition, I will have need to get some advertising boards, banners, Fedora CDs/Live
CDs, some swags, Buisiness cards and so on...

BTW I think I will be one day at the "solution Linux" in Paris, but it is not
sure yet. 

BR
Fred
