Updates
Fedora 16 release
- Good press coverage
FUDCon India a great success
- Over 500 people showed up
- Great job of reaching out to the local community
- University cancelled classes on Friday so students could attend
- ~200 students who had very little exposure to Fedora/Linux/Open Source before
- Very well organised
- About 20 student volunteers to help out with University Logistics
- Good mix of User and Developer talks
How to get more user tracks at FUDCon NA?
- Southern_Gentleman has been working to get a mix of tracks (inviting speakers for end users, etc)
End user support -- informal talk w/ a few OLPC Peru developers about whether there could be a release with a longer support/update cycle
- OLPC 11.x release based on Fedora 14 being used for upcoming deployments
- We are okay with the idea but there needs to be people who step up to run it
- Inside of Fedora, the idea has come up before but people didn't organize to the point of work on it
- Core OLPC release team is only ~4 people so there's not manpower there to do this on their own
- Regional OLPC teams (like Peru) have more people who could do it
- They would need to come forward and commit to what resources they have, what they want to achieve, and be able to build a community to work on it
