=== FOSDEM a success for Fedora ===
=== Fedora at SCALE 8x ===


Luca Foppiano reports from FOSDEM, held Feb. 6-7 in Brussels, Belgium. "What it will remains impress in my mind, from this FOSDEM, it will be the friendly spirit and the coperation we had." Luca writes. "It was impressing how we managed the booth and the organization, in particular was terrific the cooperations cross-distribution we have with other guys from Debian, Centos . . . I believe the decision of the FOSDEM organization to mix the distributions rooms was a good choice . . . It was worthy for my coming to this event, I went home with a lot of new ideas and  motivations."
Larry Cafiero reports that the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 8x was a huge success for those running the event and for Fedora itself. Over 1,500 people registered and the expo floor was mobbed on Saturday, with folks ranging from new users to the most experienced.
