Campus Ambassador Presentation: Introduction to Infrastructure

[Adam Miller]

Last Wednesday I gave a presentation on campus to our computer science
department student organization over the Fedora Infrastructure and I
have finally created time to sit down and do a write up.

Thanks to all those who have helped me along the way, I hope to be
able to continue to spread Fedora!

Thanks for writing this up, and thanks for giving the talk.  Did anyone 
come up to you afterward and express interest either in using Fedora, or 
contributing to Fedora?

There were already a few Fedora users in the audience as a result of
my last talk I gave to them, and I did end up with a couple people
asking questions about contributing. I gave information in my talk on
Fedora Account System on how to get started and told them to feel free
to email me with any questions and that I would be more than willing
to help them get started but unfortunately I haven't heard from them.

I did however have one person who is a systems administrator for a
company in a nearby town who said he wanted to offer up some bandwidth
and host a fedora mirror so I gave him the relevant information on how
to go about that and again offered my email address if assistance was
needed, but I haven't heard from him so he was either successful or
didn't get anywhere with it.

I am planning another talk to the same student organization about
creating your own custom spin, basically an overview of kickstart
files, the livecd-tools, and then at the end a quick run through of
Revisor. I assume many of the same (and hopefully many new) attendees
will be there so I should be able to touch base and check on statuses
of different people.
