What about LiberaMente? Yet another Linux conference
Fedora booth was staged with lot of cool stuff: a OLPC, an Asus EeePC, some live cd-roms, t-shirts, hats, posters, thin clients (thanks to Luca) and (awesome) the “Fedora USB pen self-service kiosk”!
The tool to build usb live pen on demand was a great success! Lot of people wanted to put their usb pens into the kiosk and see what happens!
But this time there were also some important news! First of all: Fedora Italian Community meeting.
For the first time, five Fedora Ambassadors meet each other into the real world. We discussed about next Italian events (release parties, for instance), budgets management and Fedora EMEA interactions. Italian Fedora Ambassadors are now more cohesive and integrated. Wonderful start to make good work for the future!
Other important thing: we’ve got to keep our eye on Fedora Account System to discover if some people we’ve met are joined Fedora Project. I think at least one guy from Florance is very interested to be Fedora contributor!
So, see you at Fedora 9 release party!
Luca, Andrea, Francesco, Gianluca and me. Fedora Ambassadors
Now the view out of my office window is pretty good. Only leaf green and hay-filed. The sad, unhappy (and never finished) reinforced concrete skyscraper monster was pulled down yesterday at 10.30 AM.
It was a bad remember of public investments spent for the latest Soccer World Championship in Italy (Italy ‘90). Now, in this area, will be re-factored with some parking and a new useful underground station to get Milan ready for next Worldwide Expo 2015.
Italian people spent to build a monster, spent to pull it down, and now, we’ll spend to rebuild this area again. I really hope to see finished this works by the end of 2015, and don’t see much more money spent for another “under construction (for ages)” building…
By the way, for the moment I’m enjoying my new wonderful view out of my office in Milan
To be in Malaga requires you a little trip in Granada, a beautiful city in the south of the Spain, where occidental and oriental architecture join all together to create something special: Alhambra.
Lot of sun and lot of funny after three days of really hard working
Two years after Canness RedHat event, a new summit reserved to RedHat Partners strikes back in Europe (Malaga). This time the format is a bit changed, and now it seems really similar to the offical RedHat Summit (USA).
I’ve spent three long days (for “long” I mean get up at 7.00 AM and never go to sleep untill 2.00 AM…) speching with other european partners about new solutions in Linux and JBoss markets and new opportunities for OpenSource software over the European countries. For me it was also my first occasion to meet Jim Whitehurst (new RedHat CEO) and to hear him saying things that are already MUST in Byte-Code, such as share custom customers software as OpenSource, to avoid writing and re-writing same things every time, not only to build “OpenSource products”, but also to build “OpenSource customers”.
It was also a great occasion to meet some old friends I didn’t see from a long long time, and to know new exciting friends.
It was also first big event for Carmen, RedHat employee since last month, now involved into RedHat Marketing team. I hope to see her also in Fedora marketing as soon as possibile
In my hopinion the only big missing stuff in the event was Fedora. Of course, it was a “business” event, but I can’t belive RedHat wants to manage event where community is too far, also because bussiness could (IMHO should) need to know the “voice of community”.
Due to the party on the beach I couldn’t attendee last Fedora Ambassadors meeting, last Wednesday, but I’d like to put this event in agenda for next year also for Fedora community.
Davide Presentation about JBoss migration is ready
