=== Fedora at free software workshop at KLN Madurai ===
Arun Sag conducted one day Free software workshop on 29th August, at KLN Madurai for the pre-final year CSE and IT students. The session started with an introduction to free software and philosophy. Fedora 11 was installed in 30+ Lab machines for hands on. The response from the students was excellent. Hospitality was good.
Fedora 11 DVDs were distributed to all the participants.
Arun would like to thank HOD of CSE department, KLN and final year student Dhivakaran for organizing this event successfully.

Contributing Writer: Larry Cafiero

Utah Open Source Conference is coming

If you live in the Mountain West region of the U.S. -- and even if you don't -- don't miss the region's biggest and best Linux festival. Registration is still open for Utah Open Source Conference 2009, to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah, from Oct. 8-10. This is the third year of this annual event, and Fedora is one of the sponsors.

Fedora will have a booth at the event and those in the area are urged to attend the event and are welcome to help out. For more information on staffing the booth, contact Larry Cafiero at lcafiero-at-fedoraproject-dot-org.

Get on the map

Want to find the nearest ambassador? How about one in Belarus? Now you can.

Susmit Shannigrahi reports that finding out the nearest ambassadors, which was once a tedious task, is now as simple as viewing a map. The map is at here and instructions on how to place yourself on the map can be found at here.

Fedora 12 is coming

While you may still be promoting Fedora 11 in your areas, you can make plans for Fedora 12 events to promote and celebrate the release of our next version.

As such, with the upcoming release of Fedora 12, this is a reminder that posting an announcement of your event on Fedora Weekly News can help get the word out. Contact FWN Ambassador correspondent Larry Cafiero at lcafiero-AT-fedoraproject-DOT-org with announcements of upcoming events -- and don't forget to e-mail reports after the events as well.
