Hi Laith, <div>On 11/2/07, Laith Juwaidah <<a href="mailto:ljuwaida@fedoraproject.org">ljuwaida@fedoraproject.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, An open day will be held in one of the biggest universities in the country on the 6th of Nov. I want to participate but I've got some problems: 1. I don't think I can do everything on my own, I tried to contact the other ambassador in the country, Mr. Yasser Al-Shaqsi, twice, but I haven't got any reply. </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">2. I don't have the material I need: I don't have T-shirts, I don't have a projector. All I have is a laptop where people can try Fedora... </blockquote><div> If you d'nt have these stuff right now, you can plan to just visit the event and move around in public places, discuss the aims and objective of Fedora Project, just to spread the word FEDORA ! it is not mandatory that you have to organize at that level, if you are alone at the time...its the best time to find few people there, you might explain the limitations you have in presenting Fedora during the day , and it may happen that some one agree to help you in organizing such events... keep in mind that Fedora is a non-profit project, we always have limitations in term of money, but people (we) </div> support/work for the project just to promote an idea that fascinate us, and we want to spread it to others... My recommendation for you would be to have fun during the day at university and speak about Fedora, spread the word... ! <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">3. I don't know about this but it's stupid to say to someone "Here's the seventh version. Oh! BTW, the eighth version will be released after 3 days"!!!! </blockquote><div> i have already explain to you, just talk about Fedora features and objectives.... </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> So, what do you think? Should I go for it, or should I just wait till the next event? (The nearest even I know about is COMEX which will be in April) :(</blockquote><div> i d'nt think it would be a great idea to wait until you get all stuff in hands...you might never get them... as i told you Fedora is a non-profit project that produce a 100% free O.S, the way you can plan next event is to find people who can barrow(for free) you these stuff for event's presentations, while you can apply under Free-Media program for promotion of the project in your native ! Moral : we (Fedora) d'nt force anybody for over burden, we (Fedora People) get fun when spread the idea ! we (Fedora) d'nt believe in number... cheer ! </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Cheers! -- Laith Juwaidah <a href="http://www.ljuwaidah.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://www.ljuwaidah.org</a> -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com">Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list" target="_blank"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list</a> </blockquote></div> -- Nayyar Ahmad RHCE (ID:804006858622745) Skype: nayyares Blog: <a href="http://nayyares.blogspot.com"> nayyares.blogspot.com</a>
