Fedora stars at Flisol Caracas
As reported by event organizer Maria Leandro, Flisol Caracas was held recently, with an estimated attendance of 1,700 people, including 100 installers, 15 protocol and 15 sponsors. The Fedora team had a hard day with eight conferences and 12 workshops; as well as the first National tournament of UrbanTerror (a freeware game) and a gpg key sign fest. At the closing, players had the StarWars Club (Darth Vader and one StormTrooper) hovering around with the guys.
Fedora Venezuela installed a lot of machines and gave out 300 LiveDVDs, 50 bubble stickers and 50 vinyl stickers; and the users were really happy with this. Pablo Hernandez (paceh) gave a workshop about Fedora-USB installations and I gave a Conference about the Fedora Community in Venezuela, and found a lot of new users.
Maria also want to say that we had two major interviews, one on national radio and another on national TV (Globovision) and in both of them, Fedora was the center of attention.
Next year Maria will be the National Organizer and she hopes to set up the first Fedora Venezuela General Meeting with all the Fedora users in the country. In the mean time, the Fedoristas have some workshops at several universities, some stands at national conferences (3 stands) and a special "B-day" for our community.
These are some of the photos... but I'm still waiting for more, and the video of the TV appearance:
