I just left LIBERAmente, an event hold in Opera, near Milan. I had the pleasure to meet the guys from LoLUG (Lodi LUG) and the other Italian ambassadors, who come from the north and the center of Italy. The guys organized the booth greatly: a LoLUG member set up a python script that allow you to plug your USB pen and automatically have fedora 8 live burned, unfortunately i didn't took my pen with me but many people didn't make the same mistake :) They, also, created a box, so it looks like an automatic iso burning machine!
During the morning Francesco, Luca and the other LoLUG members worked at the booth. In the afternoon, after the arrival of Gianluca and Andrea, we started the meeting talking about the next fedora activities in Italy, putting the stress on Release Events (we hope to have 3 events organized!) and Linux Day, our most important an popular event. Moreover we discussed about a cheap way to produce fedora USB pens, and, generally, an economic way to produce swags from ourselves, cutting shipping cost and delivery time. We discussed about LinuxTag and Fedora EMEA: for the first one we made a list of what we need to accomplish our ambassadors duties, for the second one we reviewed the work just done (see FOSDEM08) and we wondered how we can help it grown.
I want to thank Francesco because he took me from the tube to Opera (and Lucia for the return) and gave Italian ambassadors the possibility to have a face to face meeting: yes, we had not a lot of time to discuss about everything but what we said was just enough to start, I hope, a strenght relationship between us. I want, also, to thank you all ambassadors who attended this event and the great staff that took care of the booth and made me like at home.

Francesco Ugolini

Per la prima volta - in assoluto - siamo riusciti a riunire, grazie all'enorme sforzo dei membri del LOLUG (è stato un enorme piacere aver avuto modo di conoscervi di persona ;-) ) e la passione che ci accomuna, un buon numero di Ambassador italiani. Ciò ha permesso di discutere dei succitati punti, descritti da Francesco, *face-to-face*, facilitando di gran lunga i problemi di comunicazione che si possono verificare via e-mail o utilizzando IRC.
Quanto discusso oggi è sicuramente d'auspicio per il futuro e, senza ombra di dubbio, un ottimo punto di partenza su cui poter lavorare.
Le fotografie della giornata saranno disponibili nei prossimi giorni! ;-)
Ora sarà meglio andare a dormire, è stata una lunga giornata, ma ne è valsa la pena ;-)
Cheers,

Scusate se ho scritto in inglese il mio report (e scusate anche per l'inglese), ma questa mail doveva essere inviata anche alla Mailing list degli Ambassadors, mi sembrava corretto rendere comprensibile il mio pensiero verso tutti.
Grazie a tutti quanti
Francesco

Great review.
I can say that it was a pleasure to meet you and other ambassador ;-)

Thanks to all. I hope we can meet soon ;-)
