I don't think so - imho. Anyone got any problems ?

I didn't use it :)

I don't know if Red Hat will be there next year, but I hope that it will be. And either I don't know what Max is thinking about this - because I share his opinion that Fedora should show that it's maitened by community from most part and not from Red Hat (more after merge of core and extras repo's) - and I don't want to say that Red Hat is not doing a good job from their side. (again it's my humnle opinion).

I was surprised that the network was working :P Just suggestion, maybe it's good idea to change the place of booth, as it can be different every year.
