Chitlesh Goorah (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChitleshGoorah) reports to FedoraNEWS.ORG:
Last weekend, the very first Fedora Ambassadors Day (FAD) was held at the Swiss-German border.
These Fedora Ambassadors have gone though their scheduled agenda, discussed various subjects, agreed/disagreed on many numerous topics, proposed new ideas and planned to organise and participate in as much Linux events as possible.
Eclipse on Linux Distributions Project
Andrew Overholt (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AndrewOverholt) points out in his blog (http://overholt.ca/wp/?p=75):
Last week, the project had its Creation Review (PDF) and it was a success! I’d like to see most, if not all, of the work that our group here at Red Hat is doing — ChangeLog, autotools, specfile, packaging tools, etc. — get more visibility as part of this project. We’re also looking forward to collaborating with developers and packagers from other distributions

Migration to Fedora Core 6
Chitlesh Goorah (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChitleshGoorah) and Daniam Henriques (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DaniamHenriques) report to FedoraNEWS.ORG:
We have been looking for a solution to our Internal IT infrastructure needs and those of our clients for a very long time. We believe that we have found the solution through Linux and the great work that the Open Source Community is doing and we want to be part of this revolution.
We have no doubt these changes have liberated us as well as empowered us to not only to move forward as a Company but to assist the SME Market and our clients to finally have the tools and means to move towards a stable and more secure IT infrastructure.
