F12 Release Events: a special invite

[Francesco Ugolini]

Hi,

we are close to Fedora 12 release. Have you considered organizing a
release event?

It's easy to make one.

1) Choose a place (your garage, a public library or something that can
contain people, even open)
2) Choose a format (party, conferences or both)
3) Add your event in fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_release_events (and in
/wiki/FedoraEvents too)
4) Call your friends, collegues or whoever might be interested in the event
5) Invite the local Fedora Contributors (packagers, docs guy, etc...)
to join the event

Few steps that don't require much time and will give all the emotions
of a Fedora style event.

I invite you to consider the possibility.

Regards

Francesco Ugolini

I added the Dutch Fedora 12 Release party in Utrecht, at my company's 
branch office. Includes ~13 fast demo computers, beer & pizza, a 
fussball table (ask Max for more details), darts, chess, poker, a 
Nintendo Wii, plenty of network connectivity, is in a central location 
in the Netherlands (~3 minutes from the hub of most public transport).

This is going to be a Friends party ;-)

So far, this has been the trend with our Dutch release parties, since
the Dutch are known for being so friendly ;)

Recently we had a FOSS event @ Engineering College Bikaner where we
had a Install Fest of Fedora and how does Fedora Project  work ? who
are the main sponsors ? What is new in Fedora 12 and what else we
should look in for Fedora 12. We even distributed DVD's and Live CD's
at our event . The OS used for hack Fests was  Fedora11

I thought the right place was:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party

I'm planning to host a release party in Valencia (Spain), party (beer)
style, in a big (and quiet) Irish pub that can handle some Q&A and 'Why
do you use Fedora?' stuff.

The Spanish community it's somewhat dormant lately, so it will be a nice
event to meet people in the area and bring new energy.

Regards,

Juanjo

I apologize for the inconvenience. We took this decision in order to
have a name that could give more freedom to everyone (event is more
general, and release events haven't a default way, freedom is the key
;)).

A Release Event could be the right place, absolutely.

Sure.

To you and everyone who wrote about his/her event in this thread: "If
there is something you may need just ask. I can't assure we will solve
everything but, sure, we will try!".

Thank you

I'm going to be having something of a private release party in my neck
of the woods.  For that reason I won't be listing it on the events page,
but if I remember to (and am sober enough) I'll take some photos and
post them after the event.
