Install Fest

Next week-end, October 6, ROSEdu in partnership with the Romanian Ubuntu community organizes the traditional Linux Install Fest in the Politehnica University of Bucharest. Is quite a big event, at the 6th edition, targeted mostly at new CS students and the last time I participated, in 2010, it was attended by over 100 people, most of them interested in Ubuntu and Debian. (then I saw a couple of openSUSE requests and no one for Fedora, do the math)

Our communities are friendly and working together, so the Romanian Fedora community was invited too. Myself, I am not sure if I will be available, but anyway relied the news item, maybe there is someone interested to offer installation help (there is NO active Fedora Ambassador left in Bucharest) or maybe someone wanting to get help.

This year they will have some stations to demo various distros, so if there is someone interested in demoing things like GNOME Shitell, feel free to take the offer, I am passing it. Too bad F18 is in Alpha stage with MATE support still incomplete, I may have demoed that.

  1. In 2010 the event was renamed from Ubuntu Install Fest to Linux Install Fest but I guess some things never change :D

    1. if students want to learn and install Ubuntu, then install Ubuntu for them (I know this is the university suggestion, but whatever)

  2. Aren't you in Bucharest? If not, then you're not an active Fedora ambassador? If you're not, why are you on Planet Fedora?

    1. I am not registered as an Ambassador, and Planet Fedora is generally for Fedora contributors, not exclusive to ambassadors.
