Extra Questions
For example, two questions which came up during my Fedora 13 experiences were -

1.) Where can I find new kernels?


 * I suggested the yum command with options for beginners and the "Information for package kernel" at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 for advanced users.

2.) Is there any troubleshooting resource(s)?


 * I routed to data points/resource URLs within the http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-classroom/2010-01-07/basic-troubleshooting-class.2010-01-07-02.01.log.html, IRC as well as "Fedora Support Forums and Community" at http://forums.fedoraforum.org

Extra Thoughts

 * Advanced kernel.
 * GNOME desktop.
 * Firefox and OpenOffice versions.
 * Weather in Tokyo is a factor for any event. As the summer season continues, outdoor events get hotter in the afternoon and are not very easy to maintain personnel energy and power accordingly as well as attendees who go for lunch and shaded indoors with air conditioning.

Requirements (DVD/USB Key copying)

 * DVD distribution as well as USB Key copying.
