Complementing ... USB sticks were absolutely a success, just think have that best we distribute them, or increase the amount for the next time, because they were almost all distributed on the first day.
UEFI and Secure Boot is actually a problem that we must give great importance to solve until today I could not quite understand how law works the question of licensing it, but I think since we are not able to resolve this without such license, we take a look at how to license OpenMandriva for UEFI. But overall it was very good, we are now well known, as different from last year where most people come to us not knowing what we were, this year the vast majority came to us already know each other and wondering how to help or then to congratulate us for the work we are doing. We were also very well received by other communities that were present, such as Red Hat, Fedora, Suse and Mozilla (FirefoxOS), etc, all liked our work and some people were even those communities interested in helping us too. 2014-05-11 10:22 GMT-03:00 Kate Lebedeff <[email protected]>: > > Hello all > > Here are some comments from PCPA about FISL, where our brazilian team was > working last days. > People do get interested, but they need guidance: how exactly they can > contribute. > > Best > > Kate > > > > I believe it was overall very good, and we are now somewhat known > at least in FISL circles.
