> participation of up to 750 at the conference room. At the conference
> room was a distribution of material including a folder with a CD with
> Open Source Software and slide of the conferences. It also included
> other relevant information. We manage to distribute 500 sheets (logos
> printed on colors) with information about Fedora Project and the local
> Fedora team in those folders.

> Universidad Centroamericana[2], were all running fedora. This was 40
> pc at the workshops, 16 pc at the game contest area, 6 pc for
> registrations and the pc at the conference hall. All the computer
> running games had fedora stickers on the border of the monitor.
>
> Fedora Installs were number two, just behind openSUSE. We sold 45
> discs of fedora 9 and 15 discs fedora game spin (about US $1.5 each to
> regain founds for more disc and pamphlets). The only downside was the
> t-shirt sale. We only were able to sold one, mostly due shortage of
> help on the "market place". Any way we had almost 50 t-shirt ready for
> next event.
