The Ambassadors and FOSS Community in Malaysia participate to talk briefly about Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL), Live USB Fedora, Howto participate in Fedora, KVM Virtualization, SELinux, JBoss, Packaging and the Q & A session about all things Fedora. Harish strategy of asking the audience what to expect and what is their question about Fedora that they want to be answered before end of event also generate excitement and sense of commitment from the audience.

The outcome mostly positive and generate interest around the audience about Fedora. There's event participant from the audience that offered to sponsor Fedora Malaysia team their base or official meetup place at their college and offering venue for the Fedora 11 launch party which we will be announcing soon.
