As part of my job, I interact with 40-50 of people a month as a technical instructor. I casually state that I am a big Open Source guy and indeed a Fedora Ambassador. I offer up the LiveCDs and the DVDs regularly and they are snatched up amazingly fast. I think GNU/Linux (Fedora in this case) has always been a grass roots effort, and I've been treating it as such. The grass and roots have just gotten bigger. Cheers, Clint -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
