Self introduction
by Michel Salim
Hello everybody,
I've been lurking in this list for a couple of weeks, and reckon it's
time to introduce myself. I'm a CS student at the Bloomington campus
of Indiana University, a long time Red Hat/Fedora user and more
recently, a Fedora Extras contributor.
Looking forward to telling people about Fedora around campus,

Microsoft and Novell Cooperation
by Christoph Strobel
Microsoft will recommend SLE in the future, if their customers want a Linux
solution. They also promise not to sue Novell or Suse Linux developers for
patent issues. (Detailed article in German language under
http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/80523)
Oracle with its own distribution, Novell cooperating with Microsoft. Looks
like RHEL is facing hard times.
Greetings,
Chris

Sharing Experiences with you !
by Armelk (AKServer)
Good Morning Ambassadors,
We are glad to share with you all the experiences we had during the
French Install Parties that hapened this month.
- Lille (2006 oct 21st):
- We were 4 Ambassadors in Lille.
- Lots of people liked the 3d effect, this is a major point to
promote in Fedora.
- During the day, we had a lot of discussion with the Fedora Users
and we had positive feedbacks about Fedora product and communauty.
- One installation, but lot of questions arround Fedora.
- On the MrTom's Blog, some pictures are available
http://mrtomlinux.org/index.php?gallery/campux/install-party-fedora#gallery
- Paris (2006 oct 28th):
- We were 10 Ambassadors in Paris.
- It was the 1st real adventure for some Fedora Ambassadors.
- We prepared some presentions :
- Fedora Project : MrTom
- 3D Desktop Effect : [splinux]
- Fedora Support : trashy
- Open Source vs Non Open Source softwares : Armelk
- We made some installations of Fedora Core 6 on Desktops and
Notebook products.
- We burned Burn some DVD and copied the ISO files into the end user
hard drive.
- Firt feedbacks from the partner is very positive, we are welcome
for next version of Fedora (7).
- Here are some pictures of the event:

The keys elements for the presentation and Fedora promotion are :
- 3D Desktop Effects (All Fedora users and all people like it).
- Fedora Project and Fedora Community, lot of people need a clear
picture about Fedora and RedHat, the Ambassadors clarify this point.
- The new printer installation software (More user friendly and
easier for the configuration).
- Ambassadors present during the day and motivate the user to test
and use Fedora.
Next step for the Fedora French Team :
- Prepare the major Open Source Show in Paris.
- 30 January to 01 February LINUX SOLUTION - CNIT - PARIS - La
Defense (http://www.solutionslinux.fr/fr/index.php - the English page is
not available at the moment).
- In the same place we have the major Open Source actors.
- We are preparing this event in collaboration with Parinux (Active
Linux User Group).
- I'm pretty sure the Fedora US and Worldwide Team support us on
this project.

Self Introduction
by Johan Cwiklinski
Hello all,
My name is Johan Cwiklinski, I lives in the North of France.
I've been involved in french translations on the fedoraproject's wiki
for a few month, and active within the french Fedora community.
I've recently participated to a few events (described in Armel's
message) in Lille and Paris. And so I've decided to join the
ambassador's community :)
Cheers,
Johan
