> Bangladesh Linux Users Alliance (BLUA) is organizing the Fedora and Ubuntu
> release party every year, for quite a long time. From the past record, our
> release party means, a seminar in a University, where we talk about Linux,
> and Open Source, distributing Free Live Media etc. But for the first time,
> this release party was like a real Party. And this is the first time we
> celebrated the grand release party for two of the most popular Linux distro
> jointly with Fedora Bangladesh and Ubuntu Bangladesh. BLUA helped to
> organize this event in conjunction with these two Local Team.

> It was on December 4, in a restaurant at Dhanmaondi. The guests were shown
> the demo of the new released versions. A lot of Linux users and enthusiasts
> participated at the party. The CD/DVD and t-shirts embedded with Fedora and
> Ubuntu logos were distributed among the guests. The t-shirts and the cake
> was the most surprised item. As a wrap up, we also had snacks and drinks
> there.  In background, we enjoyed the music of Armin Van Buuren.

> The party was awesome, and the Fedora and Ubuntu fans that attended really
> enjoyed themselves. Everyone was impressed. It is our most successful event,
> no doubt.

> Now we are planning to organize similar release party in different districts
> of Bangladesh in the near future.

Good stuff.  Could you elaborate on what kinds of projects and FOSS
work your members are/would be interested in participating within
Fedora?  It will be great to see both consumption of FOSS as well
as creation of it as well.
