Fedora user testimonials
by John Mahowald 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

I propose collecting user testimonials as a way to promote Fedora. Actual people commenting on their experience can be a powerful persuader. Of course these would have to be anonymous unless otherwise specified. Ways of collecting them could include an email address, web forum/comment form, etc.

Kennards shifts 400 desktops to Linux (Fedora)
by Rahul Sundaram 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Hi Yet another big Fedora deployment "Holmwood wrote that the full rollout will take place in January and will involve more than 400 machines running Fedora Linux on the desktop across about 80 branches nationally. The Fedora Project is a community-driven Linux distribution started by Red Hat. Although not supported by Red Hat, company engineers work on Fedora, which is "one of the sources for new technologies and enhancements that may be incorporated into Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the future", according to the project's Web site." http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php?id=1767259526&eid=-255 regards Rahul

Fedora at FOSS.in/2005
by Tejas Dinkar 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Hey all, I have registered to give a talk on the Fedora Project at foss.in/2005 (http://foss.in/2005) If I can get the slides of previous talks on Fedora from somewhere that would be really useful. Also, if people would tell me what people usually talk about as the positive parts of fedora, that would be REALLY helpful. Hell, I may need a mentor on this. (to at least torture in #fedora-mktg and check rough drafts of my slides). As this is an indian event, the audience will be more pro debian than usual. I have ot get a draft of the slides in by wednesday night Thanks for any help Tejas Dinkar
