Fedora Libraries

- ambassadors or members of the lugs can give a small intro about fedora

- we posted a call for maintainer for LiveCD project twice in FWN

AlexMaier
- please get in touch with LinuxTag and reserve a booth for fedora

- FUDCon is good, but being at the event with a booth in the .ORG area is essential

ThomasChung
