Dear Fedora Team Members
I’ve been occupied with my studies for the past few months, but not I can sneak out some time. Just wondering if there’s someone around who can help or guide me with organisational marketing, We are working here with 500+ computers (university campus) and rarely anyone knows about Fedora Or Red Hat or Linux J So I guess it’ll be a great opportunity to introduce Fedora and a little about Free Open Source Software’s. I was thinking about an event, more like an introduction to Linux and Fedora. I hope to find some resources and guidelines around; any help from U.K Contributors will be appreciated.
Event: Organisational Marketing (tour fedora) Location: Llandrillo College Rhos-on-Sea Conwy, North Wales Date: To be decided
Hi, I am in the same position. I would say best thing to do first to create awareness of open source software. some people use open source without knowing it. e.g mozilla firefox then after now you can offer installation and guidance. I am sure you can get help from people in the area and/or computer science students. but please make sure you are prepared well. best place to hold such events would be in school probably if you have a hall that you can use.
let me know if you need any advice.

Hi Aamir,
It would be great if you can mark the potential areas to talk about. Do talk with your friends and people there who uses PCs about the usual softwares they do use and the tasks they perform. Once you have that information you can well prepare your talk and briefings for the event. If people do get hear something depicting their daily work then they would be more interested instead of free software philosophy and patents war.
