So #fedora-my .. any stuff we would like to do on that day ? .. of
course, besides giving away free CDs ..

My ideas:

-> booth for fedora-my ... of course with the usual free CD,
brochures, posters, and LiveUSB creation station .. if booth big
enough, maybe we can bring a LAN fedora mirror there and create some
how-to-install fedora workshop ..

-> get our ass involved in the "show & tell" track .. some talk on how
to use specific technologies developed under the Fedora brand or the
Fedora family .. eg: RPM Packaging / Contributing to Fedora / Func /
or something

-> any other suggestions??

and a little lessons learnt from our mistake in FOSS.my, this time
around , we need people to be assigned to the booth and stuff .. or
we'll end up with everyone helping the main event and the fedora booth
abandoned (nonetheless, i doubt this will happen considering the event
is not foss.my :P) ..

(p/s: wariola, do we have enough time to apply for the Fedora APAC funding?)
