Hi Michel,
Thanks for the suggestion. 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
