Fedora Ambassadors:
I would like to be involved in representing Fedora at GITEX 2007, held in Dubai from September 8 to 12. There's a 95% probability that I can attend.
Since I'm new to the Fedora Ambassadors, but not Fedora Project, I would appreciate any advice and assistance in getting this going.
The following is from the official website:
"Among the world's top 3 ICT Exhibitions, GITEX is the Middle East's largest IT exhibition. Located in the business hub of the region and alongside GULFCOMMS, the Middle East's Largest Telecommunications Event, GITEX provides the perfect platform for companies looking to take advantage of the exceptional growth of the ICT industry in the region.
GITEX 2006 attracted 133,139 attendees and continues to be the most important gateway to the Middle East market with over 3,269 participating companies from 119 countries."

Hi John, Dubai[1] as in UAE (United Arab Emirates)? How are you planning to go over there? Is your company is sending you there for a business trip? Regards, [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai

Yes
How are you planning to go over there?
I would be stopping over in Dubai as part of my outgoing flight for my vacation. My current employer would be paying for the ticket as part of my employment contract.
The only real expenses incurred would be the cost of a hotel room (or perhaps I can stay with a friend as an alternative) and admission to GITEX (which might be covered by an invitation by an exhibitor).
In other words, I would be able to do it very cheaply. At least, that's the plan.

I see. If you decided to go and need any media (CD/DVDs), please let me know. Regards,

Thanks.
What is the next step? Should I add it as a future event and see if I can get some more people involved?
