FUDCon Berlin 2009 is Past

It was good to hang out with old and new Friends, the spirit was quite similar to our FAD's but in a larger scale. The Organization by Fabian, Gerold and Max was perfect. Mostly i had to deal with the Logistics around Linuxtag and all in all i could only join for 1,5 Days. I attended the EventBox Session and we will see what will happen with the result from that session - we tried that 2 years ago and did not managed it.



I was also very interested to see how things will proceed with fedoracommunity. We had a nice conversation in Mo's Session about fedoracommunity - i can not wait to see what information from other Groups can be obtained by a Trac-Interface - Events, Artwork-Tasks, new Documentations ... endless possibilities!

I joined one Design Team Session as well. I learned - even if you have no advanced graphical Skills - Feedback is needed and welcome for improvement - if you tell why!



Chitlesh was brilliant as always! Fedora Electronic Lab turns to become a real concern for some proprietary suppliers in the Electronic Industrie ;)



And finally we have got some work done for the Ambassador Administration and now the Ambassador Membership Process can be followed by our Trac Instance

Gerold, Max and Paul had a last look to check if all things are packed and fit in the FedoraEventCar - thanks for all guys!



In the next days i will bring some stuff back to the RedHat Office Stuttgart - so do not forget to store enough coffee for me ;)

Linuxtag&FUDCon Berlin 2009

I am back from my Fedora Logistic Job for Linuxtag/FUDCon Berlin.
To present Fedora in a perfect light on FUDCon, we produced 5 new huge Banners, one for every Foundation + one extra with all Foundations.



After we unloaded all what i brought with me from Stuttgart, we picked up the Stuff from the RedHat Office Berlin - the CD's and DVD's Design looked nice but they were in terrible shape - like just dropped out of the Airplain - i am sure someone has to pay for that broken boxes. After we filled the Car up with all that stuff, Thomas had only a cosy hole in the car ;)



I will be back on Saturday and Sunday for FUDCon Day 2&3
Lets see how we use all that great stuff.

Meet the Berlin Fedora Gang ;)

Win a trip to a FUDCon near your region!

FAmSCo is happy to announce the first prize for the F11 Release Party Contest!

Hugin and Fedora

After Richard, Kushal and Nicu showed their panorama-pictures made with hugin - i remembered my own experiments with hugin - without autopano-sift. Setting the Controll Points by hand can be done easy and quick. And for me it is perfect enough!

Chemnitzer Linuxtage Day2 + Interview + Pictures

CLT09 is over and i am happy that i could share this great event with my friends!
A Thanks goes to the CLT Team for their Work and Support!
LXDE on Fedora was the Superstar this year - and what could be better than have the maintainer and a another LXDE upstream developer of this project at the Fedora Booth! We created Live-USB's all the time, all Fedora Live CD's are out since the first day, the expectations in the features of Fedora 11 by the visitors is high and i can clearly say that this year, we are finally become accepted as a real Community-Project - what is a great progress here in this part of europe!



It was also the Day of Max's talk and it was more fluently without changing the Hat ;) CLT took a video and i will post the link, as soon as i see it on the CLT Infrastructure.



Right from the Talk, Max and Robert had to move to the Radio Tux Interview.
Listen the Interview with Max and Robert HERE!

Chemnitzer Linuxtage 2009 Day 1

CLT is the real leading german community event and get's better year by year - thanks CLT Team for providing this perfect organisation and this wonderfull event.
We've made a experiment and decided (hope Greg will not kill me) to have no OLPC's at the booth - because the expirience showed us, that people got distracted by the OLPC Hardware and do not listen to what we have to tell them about the idea behind OLPC and that Fedora runs the OLPC. And what can i say - we had a great day - good conversations, smart questions, a lot people at the booth and fun - and i am sure we have a few new valuable Contributors - at least one new for the german localization team ;)



Our booth was constantly visited, but after Klaus Knopper's LXDE Talk, where Christoph raised the Fedora Flag for "the most complete implementation of LXDE", Chritstoph had to bear with quite a bunch of people at the same time ;)



Some people do visit us regularly every year and tell us their adventures with Fedora - like the the very smart "Matlab-Girl" ;) Chitlesh you remember? I try to convice her to contribute to Fedora since 3 years - no success - but maybe tomorrow ;)
I will not attend the social event - i have to fulfill some family duties and i want to be fit and fresh for tomorrow Day2!
My thanks goes to all of our great Team - Christoph, Jens, Martha, Max, Robert, Simon, Stefanie, Sven!

CLT Time Day0

it is late but i want to give a short update about the Chemnitzer Linuxtage 2009.
We arrived save after a 3:30 hour trip - the way was easy to find because the city was enlighted with Tux ;)



Max and Martha had a 13 hour trip from Amsterdam - and joined us later this day - we had a good time in the evening and a delicate dinner in a Restaurant with regional cuisine, where Christoph joined us after a while.

Before that we had to stick some poster on our booth - and tomorrow it will be the first time we will have a Projector on the booth to present Fedora - we will see if it will work out fine.
