Fedora 24 Release Party: Singapore

Dates/Location

Date: 29 July, 2016

Time: 1830 to 2030

Location: Ngee Ann Polytechnic, 535 Clementi Road, Singapore 599489. Lecture Theater 51-04C

Event Description

Fedora 24 has been released and the fedora community in Singapore are planning to have a release party with the local opensource community. This party is aimed at being a fun, educational and memorable event that only celebrate Fedora's release but also to commemorate our opensource journey so far. It is also to advocate free and opensource software and raise awareness of FOSS. We will be covering some Fedora_24_talking_points during this event.

We are expecting 70+ folks to be joining us, with 90% being students. The main audience of this event is polytechnic students who have little or no exposure to FOSS. Therefore, it is important that the talks does not scare the audience but rather, impress them.

Below are the logistics that will be brought to the party:

  • Fedora Banners (Huiren)
  • Fedora 24 DVDs (Huiren)
  • Fedora Stickers (Danishka)
