Hi Matthew,
I am interested as well. I am going to propose a talk[1] around using Ansible on Fedora ( we do it for Fedora Infra).

We have attended this event the past two years and both years it was rather a disappointment. I hope Mario who lives in the area and who has run the event for us in the past will chime in.

Hey Jonathan,
Let me first say I did not mean to discourage Fedora or anyone in the Fedora community from enthusiastically participating in this event.
Events grow over time and NELF is still pretty young. Disappointments are often the result of your experience not matching your expectations. This isn't necessarily anything negative about the event, it might have been that we had unrealistic expectations so the cause of the disappointment may well have been self-inflicted on our part. I'm going to avoid specifics since my memory may be inaccurate and I am unable to get to the event reports at the moment.
John
okay i understand. Yes we are still young. i would love to have a big Fedora presence at NELF I really beleive that Fedora is the best community run project and at NELF we want to showcase that to either new users or mature users. last year I wanted to have a room specific for Fedora to almost have a mini Fudcon. So please submit as many talks as you would lie and we will take as many as we can. If anyone is interested we could still have 1 room set aside for Fedora and have a mini fudcon if you guys wish to. Thanks for your support.

"Mini fudcon" idea is interesting, although sometimes planning takes a long time. I'll see if I can drum up some interest....

I really like the idea of mini fudcon. Is there an event page for http://northeastlinuxfest.org/ on wiki? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Northeast_Linuxfest_2014 redirects to [1] which is empty.

I'm posting a message to the fudcon-planning list to talk about this more.
i think the issues facing NELF are timing, venue, advertising, and audience. basically, the event usually takes place during breaks, and most students are gone. the campus does not allow advertising which also inhibits attendance. this is why less than 100 people are in attendance.
it needs better timing or another venue and needs advertising. otherwise it will always draw a very small crowd.
whether fedora offers a mini fudcon, or gives talks, presentations, free installation, it doesn't matter if no one is there totake advantage, that's the point.
i will still attend, host and present as i do every year. last year, 4 people sat through my talks.
hopefully, this year it will be better!

Looks like it's not over Harvard's break this year at least.
I have some connections at Harvard and I can see what I can do to drum up a little interest. ABCD
thx matt
one of my closest friend & colleagues is the manager of platforms and IT over at the harvard business school (gary wallace)
he stopped by last year's event, and saw the poor attendance,
if jonathan can advertise on campus, and the students will be around, maybe this year will be better,
i will still give talks and we could do a mini fudcon, not sure if it will drive interest, but we can try again
thx for the help matt

yeah last year Harvard would only give us time for the event during break. but this time school will be in session. We are expecting a bigger turnout due to this. So we will be promoting the event more this year within Harvard and MIT.

jonathan, i'll have some fedora talks ready, and we can start coordinating

i have been in contact with jonathan nadeau the organizer, and supposedly, this year the event will draw a much larger crowd
although being skeptical by nature, and because the last 3 events were not crowded at all, i do not want to lose the venue, but also realize our expectations should be marginalized according to the real numbers in the past
i'll still give talks and show up both days, i just won't order a bunch of supplies
let me see whats in the event box and then we can plan better and discuss during the next meeting
the students will be on break and probably not be on campus and if jonathan does not get early advertising, we will be fortunate to have 250 people pass through
