Hi Suresh,

thanks for this report. Looks like the event went very well.

I'm particularly interested in knowing a bit more about your collaboration with Fedora.

Did you organize this with Fedora Ambassadors? If so, is this the first time you work with ambassadors from other open projects?

I'd love to know your feedback on that and in general, I think it makes a lot of sense for Reps to work more closely with ambassadors of other open projects like Fedora, or Ubuntu, or Wikimedia in their region.

We hare so many common values and interests, it only makes sense for us to work more closely together to help each other, share our local experiences and best practices.

William

Yes as a Fedora Ambassador & Contributor i have presented with it
self.actually it wasn't first table booth or an event from Fedora but it
was the first Fedora event with Mozilla,ISOC after involving as a ReMo (i
think July 2011).

+1 & it's so true, because there were a lot of open source project
available in Fedora such
as Ambassadors,Coding,sysadmin(infrastructure),packages,marketing,
Localization...ect.fully
information can be found at [
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki] so i am much more happy
to share this thought's to rest of all ReMo's who are interesting/willing
to join as a Ambassadors or any kind of Open source project to Fedora. i
mean even, not only fedora but also you can join Ubuntu, or Wikimedia or
Open SuSE like William said.

Totally I love this idea,we can share our thought with other open source
project and getting knowledge from other's definitely it will be a valuable
lesson.

Thank You William again :)
