>> > Two and a half years ago, out of curiosity, I decided to try it again.
>> I

>> > something with it, reinstalling it twice a day. :)
>> >
>> > Then someone made me discover Fedora and had the patience to explain
>> me
>> > the basics so that I could at least use it. I then discover the french

>> > What kept me in Fedora all this time and will probably keep me ad

>> > After being involved in the french community by doing support on the

>> >
>> > I also co-initiated with Mohamed Elmorabity the Fedora | Paris

>> > What we do is gather the Fedoristas who live in Paris and have diner
>> > every 2 weeks, and more if the night goes on.
>> >
>> > Of course, we all already know each other on IRC or on the forums, so
>> > those meetings are more a way to know the non-geek-side of each other,
>> > and build friendship inside our community.
>> >
>> > Fedora | Paris organized the Saturday night party this week end before
>> > the Sunday Install Party, so that people who don't live in Paris and
>> > were coming in Paris for the IP would receive a warm welcome.
>> >
>> > As an Ambassador, I'll try to go on promoting Fedora everywhere I can,
>> > starting with the IT company where I work which is too Debian / Ubuntu
>> > oriented. I'd like to have some co-workers contributing to Fedora, as
>> > they already contribute to other FOSS projects.
>> >
>> > Looking forward to working with you, almighty Fedora Ambassadors of

>> Welcome to the Club, Mathieu.
