Fedora present in Greece events
Christos Bacharachis reports on Fedora's participation in the recent Fosscomm 2010 event in April in Thessaloniki, Greece. Fosscom is the largest annual FOSS conference in Greece and, according to Christos, the Greek Fedora team was there and had a great time and presence.
This year the Fedora booth was much bigger than in 2009, with seven ambassadors/contributors, one contributor from the marketing team, one female translator "and one beautiful girl who is helping continuously fedora without being registered anywhere," according to Christos. About 500 people attended this year, giving the Fedora team a wonderful chance to inform people about Fedora, our new Greek Fedora forum and how to become a Fedora contributor.
