<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>Well,
I have started my pilgrim mission. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>Gosh, it was not so
obvious!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=192262910-21112005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=192262910-21112005>Indeed, last saturday I went to a french <FONT
face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>engineering school where I talked to the principal about fedora and
the fact to do in a first time a fedora project presentation to
students.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=192262910-21112005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>He was
very enthousiast to do it and told me that teachers could also be
really interested.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=192262910-21112005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>During
our conversation, he gave me his visit card and I was a little bit embarassed
to give him mine cause I haven't got any </SPAN></FONT><FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>fedora project
vist card on me. - Could the fedora project provide us visit cards or could
we print one based on a standard </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>available on the fedora
project web site ? -</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=192262910-21112005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>So he
asked me where I can be reach at the fedora project. </SPAN></FONT><FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>Then I had to
give him the email address coming from my company.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>He was
a little bit confused cause he did not understood why I gave him an e-mail
address having no relationship with the subject of our conversation. Ok, I can
admit that this kind of situation permit to explain deeper the base of Open
source and how the community works.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=192262910-21112005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=192262910-21112005>However, it was not so obvious to be convincing
when you are in face of peolple who they know nothing about open
source.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=192262910-21112005>So,

<BLOCKQUOTE>Hello everyone,<BR>Concerning the last meeting!<BR>We talked about
many stuffs.<BR>Among these, I think tchung pointed out that it would be good
<BR>that ambassadors could get @<A
href="http://fedoraproject.org">fedoraproject.org</A> alias for emails.<BR>I
was wondering if its possible to get it.<BR><BR>Secondly, I was among a group
of friends last night "marketing fedora core". <BR>I found it very useful to
have a wallpaper with all the major websites listed onto it.<BR>It is easily
when you have their eyes and mind glued on the topic "fedora core"<BR>for
example, on my wallpaper there were 2 addresses<BR><A
href="http://fedoraforum.org">fedoraforum.org</A> and <A
href="http://fedoraproject.org">fedoraproject.org</A>.<BR>when i was talking
about what is fedora and saying that this is an open source project.<BR>They
pronounced the word "project" with me.<BR>same happened to the word "forum"
when i said that the best way to get most of fedora <BR>is having contact with
people on forums and mailing lists.<BR><BR>This was my little experience of
last night.<BR>Ive enhanced my wallpaper and posted it on <A
href="http://kde-looks.org">kde-looks.org</A><BR>It would be nice if everyone
shares their experience as a fedora ambassador so that other <BR>ambassadors
can learn from it.<BR><BR>regards,<BR>Chitlesh GOORAH<BR
