Dear *, I know I am not often on the list neither on the IRC but : - talk about Fedora and Linux to people - go to Linux events. - convince managers, and IT staff - explain my experiences with Open Source. - explain what is Fedora and how to use it to students. - do not loose good friendly relations to people who are part of the project - and so on... takes time. And I am pretty sure you know what I mean. However and you are right. You have to know what have been done. For instance today, I went to the HP Linux and Open Source roadshow EMEA in Brussel. I met people who are members of the Fedora project community -development part - who did not know a Fedora Community was present physically in Belgium. So I just invited them to join to the Community in our country. Cause electronique communication tools have their limitations. You know what I mean. It is more funny to chat, to share you experiences when you are phystically together than via network. I am pretty sure you agree with me. Even if it is working well via network. I met the Red Hat Regional Manager which help me to know belgian people are working on the Fedora Project. And then she have a point of contact with the Fedora Community of her country. We share experiences and so on... I met the manager of a Univesity and tell her that the Fedora Community could help her to organize Linux events for students. So on and so for..... It is just a win-win situation for Fedora, the Open Source community, Red Hat and myself. I beleive that I will stop for today cause I will risk to write a Linux novel "not novell :)". Rem : I have to recontact other Belgian Ambassadors. See you soon friends. If you have any remarks, questions, suggestions feel free to contact me. P.S. I am not writing that in order to have an award - see previous mail of Alex -. I am just writing that in order to be transparent opposite you - do not know if is correct :) but I hope you understand the meaning- and to share my Fedora Ambassador experience.
