FAD SL has taken place in Sri Lanka

[Buddhike Kurera]

Hello FAms,

I have successfully completed the FIRST FAD in Sri Lanka yesterday at SLIIT,
Colombo.

The main objective of this event is to get the IT undergraduates' support
towards the Fedora project and increase the number of contributors from Sri
Lanka.
The event took place in the morning 9:00 - 11:00 am. Myself handle the whole
event and discussed following topics.

* What is the Fedora Project
* Why and How to Join
* Introduction to some teams in the fedora project
* Fedora LK Community launch

The event is really successful and waiting to see more contributors from
Fedora LK Community.

LK Community Wiki - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LK_Community
LK Community ML - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/lk-users

Further fedora join page is being translated in to si and hoping to cover
all the other teams' join pages as well.

Thanks Buddhika for the short report - just because i am always curious
- can you provide some numbers, how many people joined you at this FAD?
 And do you got Feedback from other participants? How where the other
Ambassadors involved listed on the organization page [1].

thanks again - Joerg

Hello Folks,

I need to make a clarification at this point.

I have started planning to host the first FAD in Sri Lanka around April of
this year. Because no FAD has happened in Sri Lanka. First I was able to
communicate with the other FAms but at the last days I lost the track. So
there was a mis-communication. As a result myslef handle this event. Just
introduce fedora to the audience. To have a FAD according to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Activity_Day_-_FAD there should be
contributors but at the event there is only one contributor and that is my.
No funding request has made for this event from the fedora project as well.

Therefore I want to clarify, though I tried I was unsuccessful and couldnot
manage to host the first FAD in Sri Lanka as planed. So at the moment no
FAD happened in Sri Lanka. I am sorry for confusing you all. I have removed
the FAD entries from the FAD wiki page.

I am very sorry for two things,
1) Confuse by stating this event as a FAD
2) not rectifying this till locals point out recently.

But need to mention those two happen unwillingly, I just want to do
something thats all.
