Summary
Aug 16 15:05:09 tchung	jmbuser, how's it going with your event(GITEX) prep? Aug 16 15:05:46 jmbuser	tchung: We now have 2-3 volunteers and tomorrow is the deadline to turn in names. Aug 16 15:06:18 jmbuser	I was asked to prepare a 20-minute booth presentation. Aug 16 15:07:12 jmbuser	I chose to talk on "Introduction to Fedora 7", assuming a business audience with minimal exposure to FOSS and linux distros.

Aug 16 15:07:09 tchung	jmbuser, do you have enough media (DVDs or LiveCDs) for the event? Aug 16 15:07:47 jmbuser	tchung: We have 380 Fedora 7 DVDS, which I assume are not Live CDs, but not sure. Aug 16 15:08:37 tchung	jmbuser, that's right. Fedora DVDs are not LiveCDs. :)

Aug 16 15:09:12 tchung	jmbuser, do you have anything else to add? Aug 16 15:10:23 jmbuser	tchung: I guess we need 6 or so Fedora shirts and any other items deemed appropriate. Aug 16 15:11:34 tchung	jmbuser, there is a third party online shop where you can order Fedora t-shirts.
