CPOSC
I had the pleasure of attending the CPOSC event this past Sunday with Jon Stanley and Yaakov Nemoy.
The Fedora booth was in a prime location (right at the entrance) and received a lot of exposure.
We had a very pleasant surprise during registration. One of the packets handed out at registration contained a USB Flash drive (2gb) provided by a local open source company Anteil. At first sight of the flash drive Jon and I both looked at each other and said we are going to be busy creating Fedora USB sticks. Just about that time Jim Capp, The CEO of Anteil, introduced himself and stated that one of his employees, whom is a big Fedora fan had already configured the usb flash keys he was handing out, with a Fedora 9 live image. This was a huge plus for us!
Major kudos goes to Anteil for helping us promote Fedora!
Throughout the event I had the chance to talk with many people, during one conversation I talked with Jason Hubler the IT Chair person from ITT Technical Institute where the event was being held. He was inquiring about having someone from Fedora come in and speak to his students (whom currently utilize Fedora as part of their course work) which I gladly accepted and have planned in Dec 2008. I anticipate getting quite a few contributors signed up during this speaking opportunity.
I was very impressed with this event, the only suggestion I would make for future events is to not cap the registration, as they were turning people away due to space limitations, other than that the event was very well run and organized (as I expected it would be, based on previous events I have attended run by this group) and I look forward to next years venue!
