It's true that we weren't enough, especially if you compared with the boot next to ours : Fedora had more than 40 ambassadors this year ;-) And the fact that we had CentOS talks in a devroom not in front of our booth didn't help :( If you have ideas, they are welcome but maybe such discussion can be held in the appropriate list (aka centos-promo on lists.centos.org). Or even better : join the CentOS promo SIG ! ;-) Thanks PS : Fosdem pictures are now online and presentations are available on the Fosdem2009 wiki page -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` ; test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh
