Reports

This was our first open public event (non geeks event, just usually for everyday people), where we have been invited for introduction of FOSS software, and Fedora by the local city major. As we supporting the local schools around Csomad, and the city itself (local education, and lot of goverment offices are running Fedora 16 desktops, and Fedora 16 servers thx to Gergely), we received this opportunity to Fedora, and for the local HU community. The target were to widespread the FOSS word, and introduce the power of FOSS (learning, hacking, and the international community), all this get combined with Fedora - to spread the first seeds for strong contributors. We have received an huge desk, and lots of courious people, what we are, and what are we doing. We never believed that can work, but worked nicely, and people with mixed age, mixed knowledge asked us a lot, and we tried to answer every possibility, aspects of the interests. We gived away lots of disks.

In preparation we have created standard swags for the Fedora quiz, what has been shared by the game winners on the stage live by Gergely and Maté.
