We made an install party yesterday, in Paris, and requested schwags for it a month or two before, and received nothing, not even any answer telling us "sorry, we can't". Mandriva, a company which has GREATER financial difficulties that RH in france, is making much more buzz and that less difficulties to give things to people. I say "things" and not "goodies" as they gave us (for free!) a router for an install party in Lille. About DVDs, when I asked for them, I was asked to make them on my own so as to be reimbursed. I send everything to famsco again and had NO answer AGAIN. What's next ? And we have, now, to rely on William Hoffman inside RH France to push everything forward. That is not acceptable, at all. I really hope and really count on Thomas Tchung to change things inside famsco.
