Athens Digital Week Day 1
Today was the first day of Athens Digital Week and it was great.
First of all I have to admit that I was waiting more from the organization committee. We made them clear that this year we are going to be a larger team, with a lot of swag, laptops, events and many more. So we were waiting a larger booth in a central space inside the event.
Unfortunately we have a smaller booth hidden in a small corner with the rest of the open source communities and foss companies. The only positive is that the talk zone is next to us. Additionally we got only a part of the swag that we ordered from the committee but at least we are thank full for that.
Well, I am going to experience the rest of the event and post my thoughts after the end of it.
So today after I saw a lot of good friends which I had a really long time to see, I wear my blue Ambassadors polo t-shirt and spread the word of Fedora! 😀
In the open source section except of the Greek Fedora community there was also Hellug and the company EELLAK.
As said before, next to the open source section there is a talk zone where I had the chance to watch Samys Kamkar presentation with the title: How I met your girlfriend. What can I say, Samy was awesome!
After Samy I watched something like a round table around Mobile Security. Unfortunately a lot of the speakers presentations were containing only statistics and nothing more.
Day 2 is dawning so I hope for the best!

Greek Fedora 13 Release Party (in english)
We think that is the perfect Fedora release to organize a special and unique release event. That’s right! For us (Greek people) is the lucky 13!
This Saturday we are organizing one release party that will be placed in the two largest cities in Greece. The release parties will be parallel, both starting in 18:00 (GMT +3) and they will be connected through a video call.
Additionally pictures will be posted online during the release event so the people that couldn’t make it, can feel the pulse! You can stay tuned from the Greek community’s twitter account at http://twitter.com/fedora_gr . We will also use the hashtag “#f13grp” in every tweet.
In the events, will be presentations regarding the brand new Fedora 13’s features, future steps of the Greek Fedora community but in general we are going to have fun!!
If you will be around Athens or Thessaloniki, don’t miss our party! We will have chocolate cake, drinks, live CDs, flyers, stickers, our laptops and a lot of blue balloons and of course support for you problems!
