Thank you for sending me the that link. as you all know I'm new to this. But
I really need to spread fedora and open source products and services as far
as i can.
Danishka, Do we have a central web site for sri lanka fedora operations?  at
least to give the message about these fedora events in sri lanka.
( when some one search google with "fedora sri lanaka" they can only see
fedoraproject.org links)
Please update me on this.

Thanks
