Fedora Ambassadors hosted a Fedora Activity Day <ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Activity_Day_at_SCaLE_7x</ref> at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE)<ref>http://scale7x.socallinuxexpo.org/</ref> as part of the many events at the expo. The FAD took place on Friday, February 20th at the Westin Airport Los Angeles, where a group of between 12 to 20 people worked on both font packaging and documentation. Not only did a significant amount of work get done, but it was great to have a face-to-face meeting with people who, on a daily basis, you are in contact with via IRC or by e-mail.
=== Welcome New Ambassadors ===


One sensation at the expo was the Fedora kids who walked around the show floor, dressed in Fedora shirts chanting about Fedora; they were Malakai and Saskia Wade (daughters of Karsten Wade), Shaun Savage (son of Clint Savage), and Mirano Cafiero (daughter of Larry Cafiero). Also, the Fedora booth had XOs on hand for demonstration, and the fact the kids were also using them brought the attention of the general public and the press covering the event.
On behalf of all our Fedora Community and Ambassadors, We  are pleased to Welcome our newly sponsored Ambassador group members:


Clint Savage made a presentation on Fedora Remix on Saturday, which was well attended. Several media outlets, including a reporter for the Los Angeles Daily News, visited the booth and interviewed Karsten Wade.

A few hundred disks and other items of swag were handed out and many contacts were made for upcoming presentations about Fedora at LUGs throughout California in the next few months.

Thanks to all those who attended FAD and who helped in the booth at SCaLE.

Here are reports from the FAD and from the Southern California Linux Expo:
We Congratulate them on their success with mentoring program and wish them all success in their endeavour to help Fedora.
