=== Fedora Release Party in Quebec ===
=== Welcome New Ambassadors ===
Rene Purcell reports that Fedora Ambassadors in Quebec held a Fedora 13 release party in Québec city earlier this month. Many people attended to learn new features and discuss about the new release.


Jean-Francois Saucier and Rene gave a presentation about new features in Goddard, and attendees were offered live media, as well as setting up a usb stick station where we offered to create live usb sticks.
