I have Updated the event owner chart above, to remove Bill Nash as an event owner. Because for now the budget only supports two Ambassadors travel & lodge, myself and Dan Mossor. Leaving Adam Miller on the table as a courtesy, as he will be at the event, but not subsidized by this budget.

Text Report

Fedora Ambassadors Dan Mosser & Jon Disnard attended the 2016 OSCON in Austin, TX. This year, Fedora shared space with Red Hat, taking one demo kiosk of four available in the Red Hat booth. This year, Red Hat gave some of its booth over to open source communities it sponsors, so Fedora, CentOS, and OpenShift were present.

The expo hall opened Tuesday noon-ish and closed Thursday evening. There were probably 20+ hours of booth duty time over the week. We set up F24 Workstation (Beta) to show off the latest GUI environment and loaded F24 Server in a VM to show Cockpit in a browser window. Available swag were Fedora hexagon stickers, along with Cockpit and Project Atomic hexagon stickers (as significantly-related projects).

Many, many attendees came by and asked every imaginable question related to Fedora. The booth was crowded at times. The event itself was large, thousands upon thousands of attendees. Other distributions also present were Canonical and the FreeBSD foundation.

Overall, the event was a success.
